Although I make these guides for free in my spare time, I probably don’t need to point out to gamers that purchasing games is an extremely expensive hobby (games in Australia cost on average $90 - $120) and writing guides for them can be a very long, incredibly difficult and thankless task at the best of times, but one that is very challenging and occasionally rewarding. Considering you could be paying upwards of $20+ for guides in a game shop,these free and easily available guides make a cost-effective substitute. Whilst most are happy to use and move on without a word I would move that a simple donation is a great, easy way to say thanks if you feel that my guide has saved you some time, money and frustration in some small way. By no means feel obligated to donate just for viewing my guide, but if you are feeling a little generous I certainly won’t object! Any amount is appreciated whether it be 10 cents or $10. Thankyou for all that read this far, if you are interested in donating, my Paypal address is listed below, if not, skip down to the table of contents below and get stuck into the lofty world of Columbia in Bioshock Infinite!

This guide will help you play through this game from start to finish, completing all of the missions whilst fulfilling all of those pesky mission parameters and optional objectives required for 100% synchronisation. To fast travel to a chapter, go to the table of contents and copy the code next to the section of interest. Press CTRL +F and paste the code in there to jump down to where you want to go in a flash. A complete list of each side-mission, every type of collectible and their locations as well as a complete side-quest and achievement/trophy guide can also be located in the relevant spots below the walkthrough in the guide below. Enjoy! =============================================================================== Prologue [ACT000] =============================================================================== We begin the game as Desmond and we are leading the rest of our crew into a cave of sorts. Follow the linear path until a scene shows and a door opens in front. Slide down the ramp here and continue to the cavern in the distance. Watch the story scene. =============================================================================== Sequence 1 [ACT001] =============================================================================== =============================================================================== Sequence 1 - Part 1: Refresher Course [ACT01A] =============================================================================== Optional objective/s: ] ] > Perform an air assassination. ] _______________________________________________] We’ll wake up in the animus in a training course of sorts. During this mission, we’ll be familiarising ourselves with the controls (which have changed since the last few Assassin’s Creed games). Continue through to learn the ins and outs of map indicators, free running, climbing and killing. When you reach enemies during the sequence, the game prompts you to perform an air assassination, use free aim to put your reticule onto the target and then use the attack button to do it. This will complete the optional task for the level. Make your way through the rest of the course until you reach a doorway at the end to complete the training. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- >> Note: At this point you’ll earn the achievement/trophy ‘Rude Awakening’ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- =============================================================================== Sequence 1 - Part 2: Deadly Performance [ACT01B] =============================================================================== Optional objective/s: ] ] No optional objectives in this mission. ] _______________________________________________] Continue walking forward until you reach a door marked with an exclamation point. Enter this to begin the mission. Climb the stairs in front and follow the set path until you reach your seat in the theatre. After the short story sequence, shimmy out of the rows of seating to the left and go to where the ladder shown in the scene was. Climb this and use the skirting at the top to shimmy around the corner to the right. Using the pillars, ledges and skirtings here, climb your way up to the highest level balcony overlooking the stage. Pick the lock here. Once above the stage, use the various props and platforms here to work your way to the opposite side of the room from the entry. Climb up and approach the door for another story scene. Press the attack button when the on-screen prompt appears. After the scene, an alarm will be sounded and things look a little more frantic in the theatre now! There’s no real trick to the next part, just follow the objective markers until you reach the exit. Head on through to finish the section of the memory. =============================================================================== Sequence 1 - Part 3: Journey to the New World [ACT01C] =============================================================================== Optional objective/s: ] ] > Limit Health Loss to less than 10%. ] ] > Rescue James under 40 seconds. ] ] > Complete all objectives in one playthrough. ] _______________________________________________] When you regain control, exit the cabin and work your way to the right and to the far side of the ship. Climb the stairs here to exit to the deck. After a short scene, you’ll find yourself in a fist fight. The game will give you a couple of pointers about how to parry, attack, counter attack and disarm during a series of four one on one fights. Note that the optional objective – lose less than 10% of your health is also active at this point, so make sure to parry and counter as much as possible! Once the fourth fight has concluded, a story scene will play. Afterwards walk with the captain until you reach his cabin. After you are finished talking with the captain return below deck and back to your cabin. Following the next scene, exit the cabin, turn right and work your way over to the objective marker. Speak with the guy on the barrel. After the chat, turn right at the next door and speak to the chef in the far left corner of the room. The chef will tell you to go and speak with James, so follow your objective marker and talk with him. Follow him up to the deck for a conversation. When James is done, walk over to the stern of the ship. After the cut-scene, return down the stairs to the lower deck and turn left, cruise forward here and when prompted enter eagle vision mode. Check out the clue here. Afterwards, return to your cabin. When next we regain control, we will have picked up a sword and will have to fight off an assailant in one on one combat. Here the game will give you pointers on swordplay. Once you have killed him, another scene will play. You’ll now be in the midst of a storm. Follow the captain’s instructions and secure the various bits of rigging marked with objective markers. Climb the mast and release the sail when instructed. This will initiate a short scene and activate a second optional objective – save James within 40 seconds. Free run up the mast in front and across the various platforms until you can jump over to grab him. A short story sequence will run. We’re back in our cabin. Climb the stairs to the deck to talk to the Captain. Then as indicated by the objective marker, climb the mast for a scene to complete the first memory sequence. =============================================================================== Sequence 2 [ACT002] =============================================================================== =============================================================================== Sequence 2 - Part 1: Welcome to Boston [ACT02A] =============================================================================== Optional objective/s: ] ] No optional objectives in this mission. ] _______________________________________________] After disembarking the boat, you'll be met by a new friend - Charles. Follow him for a short while and when the game prompts you to; check out the world map feature. Set the marker as requested and then exit the map. Work your way over to the general store and approach it. As you do, you’ll see a short cut-scene and be given an optional task to collect Almanac pages for Benjamin Franklin. These can be collected out of the main mission and their locations will be marked on the map. Additionally you’ll be able to find the locations in the collectibles section of the guide. Either way, you will want to enter the general store and purchase a sword and a pistol. Return outside and you’ll find Charles nearby with a horse for you. Mount up and follow him. When you finally reach the Green Dragon Tavern, dismount from the horse to complete the mission. =============================================================================== Sequence 2 - Part 2: Johnson's Errand [ACT02B] =============================================================================== Optional objective/s: ] ] > Kill 10 mercenaries using firearms. ] ] > Do not let Johnson or Hickey lose more than ] 50% of their health. ] ] > Complete all objectives in one playthrough. ] _______________________________________________] Enter the green Dragon Tavern and once the initial scene has run its course, follow Charles up the stairs and around the corner until you meet a new character - Johnson. After a chat, you’ll have a new objective, so return downstairs and exit. Run over and speak to the man leaning against the fence to start the mission proper. --------------------- Part 1: Infiltrate --------------------- When you regain control of Haytham, press the shoot button to take out the guard on the wall in front. Climb the wall in front and cruise over to the weapon rack indicated by the objective marker. Grab a musket. Move forward a short distance along the wooden platform and then look down to the left to see our two allies standing outside the gate with four guards blocking their entrance. Take aim and shoot one and your friends will help you eliminate the rest. There are four enemies in front of you, another group in the courtyard below to your left and another larger group further over into the courtyard below. You can either continue along the top of the wall or slide down to re-join your companions below. Either way you go, you will get spotted and all the guards will attack. After around 6-7 of them are dead a scene will play. Shoot the barrels near the door to blow it open and then continue through the new opening. Interact with the chest on the small wooden platform to the right for another story sequence. Kill the five enemies here for another short scene. You will be prompted to loot the dead bodies here. Doing this not only earns you a little bit of money, but will also replenish your ammo if you start to get low. Return out the gate and kill the four mercenaries that run in to attack you. --------------------- Part 2: Escort --------------------- Now look at the mini-map, you’ll be escorting these two guys back to the Green Dragon Tavern. They will walk and you will need to remain close to them. Wander too far away from them and you will de-synchronised and have to re-start from the previous checkpoint. As you walk between the corn fields, a group of enemies will attack from either side. A pair of musket men will appear on the farmhouse in front as well, so once you’ve dealt with the melee threat, take cover behind the wagon and return fire until they are dead (this and the next section are a good point to rack up those kills for the 10 firearms kills optional task). Note that looting a musket from an enemy will kill them in one shot, but your pistol will take two shots to take them down. Continue along the path and you will be ambushed once again. This time, musket men will take up positions on two rooftops either side of the street. Take cover behind the wagon and eliminate all four of them to continue and complete the mission. =============================================================================== Sequence 2 - Part 3: The Surgeon [ACT02C] =============================================================================== Optional objective/s: ] ] > Remain undetected. ] ] > Do not fail a single eavesdrop. ] ] > Eavesdrop on a moving group of guards. ] ] > Complete all objectives in one playthrough. ] _______________________________________________] Enter the Green Dragon tavern and talk to Johnson. Afterwards return outside and talk to Charles to begin the next memory. --------------------- Part 1: Eavesdrop --------------------- Following the scene, continue down the road and eavesdrop on the conversation between our marked friends. Here the game will instruct you in how to blend into the crowd and how to eavesdrop – see the circle surrounding the pair? You have to stay inside that for the period of the conversation. After the first conversation, your objective marker will point you in the direction of a viewpoint, climb to the top of the building indicated and you can press the synchronise button to view additional areas on your map. Synchronising will reveal a green circle indicating the mission area and another bunch of chats highlighted with objective markers that you might want to listen in on. Each successful eavesdrop (2 did it for me) will reduce the green circle, pointing you towards your final conversation – a conversation in a square. For the optional objective, I’d recommend eavesdropping on the pair of guards patrolling the area. For this eavesdrop, you’ll need to alternate between hiding in cover and blending in with citizens as you follow them around the area. If you have not failed an eavesdrop and eavesdropped on the moving group of guards, those two optional objectives will be complete. You should also have been able to ascertain the location of the Surgeon. --------------------- Part 2: Infiltrate --------------------- Work your way over to the new green zone on the map. As you enter the restricted area, climb onto the rooves and work your way over to the objective marker to get there undetected for the optional objective. Drop down and then go and when it’s safe from the eyes of patrolling guards go and pickpocket the key from one of the targets. Return to the door for a scene. Inside we’ll find three enemies with their backs to you. Sneak up and assassinate one, Charles will do the same to the other. Afterwards, assassinate the fellow interrogating our target to complete the mission. =============================================================================== Sequence 2 - Part 4: The Soldier [ACT02D] =============================================================================== Optional objective/s: ] ] > Limit detection time to 15 seconds or less ] ] > Perform 3x sequential combo kills. ] ] > Prevent snitches (drummers) from calling for ] re-enforcements. ] ] > Complete all objectives in one playthrough. ] _______________________________________________] After a chat in the Green Dragon Tavern, we’ll be teleported outside close to our next recruit. Speak to Charles who is leaning against the wall here to begin the mission. --------------------- Part 1: Follow --------------------- Once the scene is over, follow Charles through the fort until another conversation plays out. You’ll find yourself back out of the fort. We need to trail the indicated redcoat patrol through the streets. Note that one of the optional objectives is to be spotted for less than 15 seconds throughout, so be sure to keep your distance (but still maintain line of sight) and stay in cover when they stop to have a look around. After a minute or so, Charles will run out and distract them and then run off. They will give chase. Follow them until a scene plays. --------------------- Part 2: Attack --------------------- You will now have to fight off a few redcoats, however one of the optional objectives is to prevent snitches (the drummers) from calling re-enforcements. As soon as the scene finishes, one of them will high tail it down a nearby alley so either assassinate him before he can or chase him down or shoot him before engaging the rest of the enemies. Note also that you can do the three kill combo objective here as well. By countering and performing an instant kill on an enemy, press in the direction of the next enemy and hit the attack button, you should pull off a second instant kill. Repeat once more for the objective! Once all of the guards are dead, speak to Braddock to complete the mission. =============================================================================== Sequence 2 - Part 5: Infiltrating Southgate [ACT02E] =============================================================================== Optional objective/s: ] ] > Find and kill the General. ] ] > Perform 3x stealth assassinations from a ] corner postion. ] ] > Avoid firing line damage. ] ] > Complete all objectives in one playthrough. ] _______________________________________________] Head to the Green Dragon tavern and speak to Charles upstairs to begin the mission. --------------------- Part 1: Attack --------------------- Once the mission begins, you will find yourself on a rooftop. We are going to ambush the convoy as it passes below. Move forward and grab the musket. Once the convoy comes to a stop, open fire on the guards below, this will signal your allies to attack. You can continue to pop enemies with the musket or drop down to join in the melee. Once all the guards are dead a scene will play. --------------------- Part 2: Escort --------------------- We are now on rails, with the game controlling the path of the convoy leading into the fort. As we are working our way up the road, our allies will be flanking the road ahead. We can give the signal to attack at any time and will need to do so to take out redcoat soldiers before they can detect us.Here are the encounters to look out for on your way to the fort: 1. Near the start, there will be two guards near the corn field on the left. 2. Next you will reach a pair of buildings across from each other, there is a group of guards on the right and a couple on the left here you will have to kill. 3. Just after the two groups in number 2, a dog will alert a single guard who will come around the building from the left, so down him as well. 4. Next a group will enter your line of sight from the cornfield to the right. 5. Finally you will see a large group of guards spread across the entire street ahead, take them all down with a surprise attack too. When you reach the gate a short story sequence will play. We’ll also be granted access to the fort. --------------------- Part 3: Infiltrate --------------------- Before we get going, let’s have a quick look around. There are three objective markers on the left hand side of the area. These indicate three groups of prisoners we can release from captivity, just ahead and to the right there is a small camp with a good number of guards about. There is also a general patrolling around this area that we can kill to fulfil one of the optional objectives. Let’s begin. Move down the hill along the road, have one of your assassins attack the enemy that threatens to detect you as he approaches. We are going to get the general first. Crawl into the bushes to the right of the haystack next to the road. Continue to the right behind the tent and into the next set of bushes. From here, you should be able to make out a pair of guards nearby and behind them the general who is marked with a red dot above his head. Note that only the general is looking in your direction. Get out of the bushes so he sees you and comes to investigate. Climb back into the bush and assassinate him when he gets close. Return back to the road. Now let’s go rescue those prisoners! Hug the large stone wall at the back of the area and make your way to the left between the wall and the tents. Ahead you will see a square wooden structure with a guard leaning against it. Take cover and assassinate him from the corner (we need three corner assassinations for the optional objective this is 1/3). Stay here and you’ll see the first set of prisoners to the right. Wait for the guard patrolling in front of the prisoners to walk away from you and assassinate him. Interact with the prisoners to free them. Work your way across the camp to the second set of captives at the edge of the water. Use the brush here to hide from the patrolling guard, you can wait for him to go by the crates to the left of the prisoners, enter cover behind the same crates and corner assassinate him when he returns (2/3 for the optional objectives). Free the captives. Continue along the water’s edge towards the boats. When you reach the wooden boardwalk, wait for the guard that patrols along it to head back towards the boat. When he does, move up to the edge of the dock and hide behind the large wooden boxes here, wait for the patrolling guard to return and corner assassinate him (3/3 for the optional objective). Climb up onto the boat at the end. Use the central cargo boxes to stealth assassinate the guard patrolling the centre without alerting the others and then walk over to the prisoners and assassinate the guard looking after them. Release the third set of prisoners. This will trigger a scene. --------------------- Part 4: Assassinate --------------------- As soon as you regain control, you’ll be in combat. The game will also give you a quick tutorial on avoiding firing squad damage (this tutorial will also complete the optional task to do the same thing!). Kill any enemies attacking you directly and then leg it over to the fort in the distance. Climb up the rampart here to find Silas with a few mates, kill him to complete the memory sequence. =============================================================================== Sequence 3 [ACT003] =============================================================================== =============================================================================== Sequence 3 - Part 1: Unconvinced [ACT03A] =============================================================================== ] Optional objective/s: ] ] > Use 2x breakable objects during a fight. ] ] > Limit health loss to less than 50%. ] ] > Complete all objectives in one playthrough. ] _______________________________________________] --------------------- Part 1: Chase --------------------- After a chat with Charles, hop on the horse nearby and follow him until you reach a campfire and a story sequence ensues. Once you can control Haytham again, follow the extremely obvious tracks in the snow ahead. When you reach the end, you’ll be treated to another short story sequence. Afterwards our target will start running away in the trees ahead, follow here as best you can along the ground (the logs are good!). When you reach the next campsite you will be attacked by a group of three wolves. To take them down, you will have to wait for them to charge at you and press the two button prompts that appear on screen in order. Note that if you do get hit, the wolf will maul you and you will probably fail the optional objective (lose less than 50% health) so don’t be afraid to reload the last checkpoint until you get the hang of it. Now we need to find the woman. From the campfire, look to the Northwest, you will see a platform in the trees here. Make your way up the hill towards the platform. As you approach, she will take off again. So simply follow her until she stops for a scene. Afterwards, walk up and talk to her one more time for another scene. --------------------- Part 2: Attack --------------------- Once that is over with, dive down to the hay below and run over to the town hall ahead. Enter the door. Inside you are going to want to listen to both of the conversations that the guards are having in the common area here. So eavesdrop whilst blending in. When you have the information, make for the exit. After a quick cut-scene you will be in open conflict. Now we can try for the other optional objective – use 2 breakable objects during a fight. To do this we need to counter an attack whilst standing next to a table or some other breakable object. Again you should be mindful not to let your health drop below 50% (for the optional objective). Once the fight finishes, the chapter will be complete. =============================================================================== Sequence 3 - Part 2: Execution is Everything [ACT03B] =============================================================================== Optional objective/s: ] ] > Sabotage 2x cannon. ] ] > Do not kill anyone. ] ] > Complete all objectives in one playthrough ] _______________________________________________] Track down Ziio in the frontier and she’ll allow you to start the mission. --------------------- Part 1: Infiltration --------------------- We need to infiltrate the fort in the distance. Continue towards the objective marker. As you work your way up the road, you will see a horse drawn wagon heading for the fort too. Sneak up and jump into the back of this to ride it through the gate. --------------------- Part 2: Investigate --------------------- Note that there is an optional objective not to kill anybody, fortunately if you unequip your weapons and use the assassinate button, you will perform a non-lethal takedown. Anyway once you hop out of the wagon, climb into the bushes here. We need to eavesdrop on those guards in the distance. Continue past the well and into the bushes on the other side of the fence to enter the eavesdrop circle. Wait for the guards to patrol past to the left and when it is clear, run across to the opposite side of the road and climb up on top of the building here. The guards will cut a lap around this building so as long as we are on the roof; we’ll be able to hear their conversation (just stay out of sight!). When they are done, drop down next to the tents on the upper platform to the left of the roof. We need to steal a map now. Directly opposite where we dropped down, you will see a bush we can climb into to hide. You will also notice a guard patrolling nearby. Stand out in the open so that the guard can see you, when he comes to investigate, quickly duck into the bushes and work your way over to the tent containing the map, duck inside and grab it quickly. Exit the tent, turn left and duck into the bushes just next to the tent against the wall. From here, observe the guard on the platform up the stairs in front, the first cannon is below him to the right (we need to sabotage two of these for an optional objective). When he is not looking, run down and to the right to tamper with the cannon (1/2). Quickly turn around and climb down the stairs to the left. If the guard spotted you and has come to investigate, jump into the hay here until he loses interest. When it’s clear, wait for the guard patrolling up and down the stairs leading to a lower area nearby to start down the stairs and then hop out and follow him down the stairs. Enter the bush lining the wall to the left here and follow it to the end. You will see the second cannon a little further in front. Wait for the guard to patrol away again, before running over to disable the cannon (2/2) and then jumping over the low wall into the water below (you can work your way back through the guards too, but the dive is less risky). Swim back to shore and return to Ziio to finish the mission. =============================================================================== Sequence 3 - Part 3: The Braddock Expedition [ACT03C] =============================================================================== Optional objective/s: ] ] > Kill 2x militia without triggering conflict ] ] > Destroy 3x powder carts. ] ] > Complete all objectives in one playthrough. ] _______________________________________________] --------------------- Part 1: Infiltrate --------------------- Head over to the Wright Tavern in Concord. After the short story segment, you’ll receive a note from Ziio. It’s time to go! Mount up with your crew and make your way over to where she has made camp. When you arrive you’ll see a cut-scene. Afterwards you’ll be on foot and close to an enemy camp. We need to kill one of these guys to steal their uniform. However one of our optional objectives is to eliminate two enemies without triggering open conflict. To do this, wait at the southern end of the camp for one of the patrollers to stand between a pair of trees with his back to you. Assassinate him (1/2) and then immediately get into some of the nearby bushes to hide. You will have been detected and as such our native friends will mosey in to attack. Wait for them to engage and then sneak up on one of the bad guys and assassinate him (2/2) whilst he’s occupied. Clear the rest of the camp of baddies for a scene. ------------------- Alternate strategy: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- There is a haystack by the brush that you can easily hide in on the south-east side of the camp. Hop in here and whistle and take out around two to three guys one at a time. Then, you can do the same for the leader. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You now have a redcoat costume on, so Jump on the nearby horse and ride through the enemy convoy all the way up to the objective marker. --------------------- Part 2: Chase --------------------- After a short scene, you will be in a horseback chase. Follow Braddock through the conflict being sure to avoid obstacles and to keep an eye out for the three powder carts along the way (shooting all three is an optional objective). Once you reach the end, a scene will play out. You’ll now be chasing your target on foot. Simply catch up to him and hit him with your hidden blade for another story scene. ------------------- Alternate strategy: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- At the end of the mission, when you chase the target. Instead of tackling him, shoot him instead. It is far more efficient. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Following the scene, you will be back in Boston. Make your way to the Green Dragon Tavern and head upstairs to chat with your posse to complete sequence 3. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- >> Note: At this point you’ll earn the achievement/trophy ‘How D’ya Like Them Apples?’. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- =============================================================================== Sequence 4 [ACT004] =============================================================================== =============================================================================== Sequence 4 - Part 1: Hide and Seek [ACT04A] =============================================================================== Optional objective/s: ] ] > Find all children without mistake. ] ] > Find all children in under 4 minutes. ] ] > Complete all objectives in one playthrough. ] _______________________________________________] --------------------- Part 1: Investigate --------------------- Hey look we’re finally Connor! It’s about time. Once you gain control, exit your home and follow the other children out of the gate to the village and into the forest. We’ll be treated to another cut-scene and when it is finished, we’ll have to find the other children. If you look at the map, you will see that there is a green circle indicating the area in which the others are hidden. Additionally on the ground scattered about the place you will find clues we can interact with to reduce the search area. You will be able to complete the two optional objectives quite easily, just keep looking for clues and narrowing that search area until you find them! After you have found all four, it will be somebody else’s turn. Pick a hiding spot and after a short period of time, a story scene will occur. --------------------- Part 2: Return --------------------- When you wake up again, Connor will be a little groggy. Stumble your way back to the village. Once you are inside, head into the farther of the two large central buildings and run through to the other side. Upon exiting, check out the door to the building on the left to find it is locked. Look to the right for a large rock, head around the back of this to get into the building from the other side. Button mash the requisite button when prompted for a scene to finish the chapter. =============================================================================== Sequence 4 - Part 2: Feathers and Trees [ACT04B] =============================================================================== Optional objective/s: ] ] > Find 3 more feathers than required. ] ] > Do not touch the ground or water. ] ] > Complete all objectives in one playthrough. ] _______________________________________________] After talking with your buddy, the mission will begin. We are now learning how to climb trees. Run up the stump in front and into the tree. Climb up to the top, following the games instructions for a scene. You will now have to escort your friend through the trees over to the objective marker. Continue straight ahead with the free run button on and you should have no real issues, just be sure not to get too far ahead or you will desynchronise and will have to re-start. Once you reach the log over the water, hold up for a second and help your mate when he falls in the water. Continue across and up into the trees again until you reach another scene. Work your way up the trees to the cliff ahead and scale this to the top. Grab the feather here. At this point, explore the area for another three feathers (for the optional objective) - check your map for locations - before going over to talk with your buddy to finish the memory. =============================================================================== Sequence 4 - Part 3: Hunting Lessons [ACT04C] =============================================================================== Optional objective/s: ] ] > Find 3 more feathers than required. ] ] > Do not touch the ground or water. ] ] > Complete all objectives in one playthrough. ] _______________________________________________] This mission acts kind of like a tutorial on how to hunt, catch, lure and skin animals. Once the mission begins, the map will have a green circle that indicates where to find what you need to complete the section. Heres the rundown of what we need to do: 1. Find, shoot and skin a rabbit. 2. Investigate the clue and place a snare on the point of interest. Wait for your buddy to plant one as well. 3. Find a deer and use bushes to sneak up on it and take it down. Skin it. 4. Return to the snares and skin the rabbits you have caught. You now have to hunt and kill 5 animals for their meat. At this point you are given free reign over what you want to do. Note that all three optional objectives are tied into this specific point in the sequence. So whilst you are killing stuff, kill more than one type of animal (there are 4-5 around), air assassinate two animals, (Climb trees and air assassinate in the usual manner) and combine bait with a snare to catch an animal. Once you have all 5 pieces of animal meat, track down your friend for a short scene. When you regain control, you will be up against a bear. Use the on screen button prompts when required to dodge and then sprint away. You will need to get out of the red circle on the map to lose the bear. Once you are in the clear, return to the village. =============================================================================== Sequence 4 - Part 4: Something to Remember [ACT04D] =============================================================================== Optional objective/s: ] ] > Avoid mid-air collisions, have no more than 2] overall. ] _______________________________________________] Speak to the Elder in the village to begin this memory. Once inside the building walk to the fire for another cut-scene. When the scene ends, you will have assumed the form of an eagle. Simply follow the flaming eagle in front of you and dodge all of the obstacles in the way. After a couple of minutes and a few scenery changes the chapter will be complete. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- >> Note: At this point, you will earn the Achievement/Trophy ‘Heroes are Born’. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- =============================================================================== Sequence 5 [ACT005] =============================================================================== =============================================================================== Sequence 5 - Part 1: A Boorish Man [ACT05A] =============================================================================== Optional objective/s: ] ] > Limit health loss to less than 50%. ] _______________________________________________] We’ll regain control of Connor in the centre of the frontier. Work your way to the exclamation point on the map to enter the Davenport Homestead. Once in the new zone, head to the large mansion in the north of the area. Knock on the door. After the scene, head over to the stables. When the next day arrives, head back to the house and knock on the door again, then head around to the back door. After another scene, climb up to the balcony on the north side of the house and interact with the door here. Return to the stable. You will be woken in the middle of the night, after a short scene fight off the bad guys that appear (note that there is an optional objective to finish the segment with less than 50% health loss) and when they are all dead or dying a scene will play. Afterwards make your way over to the front door. After a short scene, follow Achilles down the stairs to complete the chapter. =============================================================================== Sequence 5 - Part 2: A Trip to Boston [ACT05B] =============================================================================== Optional objective/s: ] ] > Escape within 1:20. ] _______________________________________________] Exit the house and walk over to Achilles on the horse wagon nearby to begin the mission. --------------------- Part 1: Explore --------------------- Once you get to Boston, follow Achilles until a scene plays. Head over to the nearby general store and give the vendor Achilles’ note. Return to Achilles. Follow him until you see a cut-scene. --------------------- Part 2: Assassinate --------------------- Afterwards, you need to tail the target, stay in cover and keep your distance to keep him to prevent him from detecting you. Once he climbs up onto the roof, follow him to the edge of the roof and assassinate him when told to do so. --------------------- Part 3: Escape --------------------- After another scene, you will now be wanted, simply escape from the area and back to anonymous. Upon doing so you will have completed the mission. =============================================================================== Sequence 5 - Part 3: Boston's Most Wanted [ACT05C] =============================================================================== Optional objective/s: ] ] > Do not raise your notoriety to level 3 ] _______________________________________________] --------------------- Part 1: Destroy --------------------- After completing the previous mission, a messenger will approach and tell you to meet a new contact, Sam Adams. So head on over to the explanation mark and talk to Sam to start the mission. This mission is going to give you a crash course in notoriety and how to get rid of it. First up we need to take down two wanted posters, these are scattered all over the place so shouldn’t be too hard to find. You will be on high notoriety until you manage to pull two of them down, so when you approach them either try to avoid the guards around or prepare for a fight. Once the two posters have been removed, return to Sam. A scene will play showing how you can bribe town criers to also reduce your notoriety. --------------------- Part 2: Escort --------------------- Afterwards, you will now have to escort Sam to the Underground tunnels. As you make your way through the streets be sure to avoid the guard checkpoints as they always seemed to become hostile, no matter the notoriety level. Also, as per usual for escort quests ensure that you don’t venture too far from Sam. When you reach the tavern, you will notice that all the alleyway entrances to the area are all blocked by guards, so climb over the roof and drop down into the courtyard. Quickly enter the hatch on the ground to enter the underground to complete the sequence. --------------------- Part 3: Lying Low --------------------- Escort Sam through the underground tunnels until you reach the objective marker. ------------------------- Part 4 - Stop the Presses ------------------------- After leaving the underground area, head over to the golden objective marker to meet with Sam. In this scene we’ll learn how to use printers to reduce notoriety as well. When you are done, follow Sam to the docks and speak to the harbourmaster to travel to the Homestead or fast travel to the frontier. =============================================================================== Sequence 5 - Part 4: River Rescue [ACT05D] =============================================================================== Optional objective/s: ] ] > Do not touch the water when rescuing Terry ] _______________________________________________] --------------------- Part 1: Chase --------------------- After returning to the Homestead from Boston, a man will appear in the window and ask for help. Exit the building and chat with him to start the mission. Follow Godfrey down the hill until you reach the river. As you arrive, you will see his friend floating down the river. You will have to run after him using the rocks and tree trunks use free run to go all the way down the river until you can rescue the man – you will have to dive in the water at the very end. Note that saving the man without touching the water will complete an optional objective for the mission (although diving at the very end of the course does not seem to count as touching water). After a brief scene, you will be back at the homestead. You will also receive notification that you’ll now be able to recruit additional members to your homestead. ------------------------ Part 2: Training Begins ------------------------ Meet Achilles in the shack down by the dock to start this mission. After a chat with the harbourmaster, return to the Homestead to talk with Achilles again. He’ll give you a spiel about the ledger in the homestead and the game will give you a short tutorial on how to use it. To complete the mission. =============================================================================== Sequence 5 - Part 5: The Hard Way [ACT05E] =============================================================================== Optional objective/s: ] ] > Do not take any damage during the first ] section of the mission. ] ] > successfully brace when attacked three times ] ] > Use swivel guns to destroy two ships ] ] > Complete all objectives in one playthrough ] _______________________________________________] ---------------------- Part 1: Navigate ---------------------- After completing the previous quest, return to the harbourmaster and chat with him, he will open the navigation map for you. Choose the ‘The Hard way’ option to begin the mission. This mission, like the others in this sequence acts as a tutorial on how to use the game’s ships. It will cover putting up sails to full/half mast, selecting weapons and instructing your crew to take cover when under attack. Take the wheel and work your way between the rocks until you reach the objective marker. Continue to follow the marker, avoiding the rocks as you go until you reach the open water. At this point, the game will point out cottages to the left. So make your way over there and follow the instructions to dock the ship. ---------------------- Part 2: Navigate ---------------------- After the scene on land, our ship will now have a crew and some cannons. That can mean only one thing, it’s time to test those out! Head to the stern of the boat and jump back on the wheel again to take control of the vessel once more. As the view changes to ship mode, you will see a pair of rocks in front with an objective marker between them. Sail over to this point and then complete the tutorial on how to use the cannons during a broadside attack and the swivel guns. --------------------- Part 3: Naval Battle --------------------- Once training is complete, set sail for the next objective marker out to sea. You will be attacked by your first group of hostile ships. At this point, we can earn two optional objectives – successfully brace three times when attacked and use the swivel guns to destroy two ships. In general, when you are engaged in nautical combat, the aim is to manoeuvre your ship so that its side is facing your target. When you fire cannons, hold the button to charge them and when they are ready, you will see a white light appear on the water which indicates where the cannons will fire. Enemy ships likewise have a similar system, although their light on the water will be red. If you see your ship in the range of the red water, tell your men to brace immediately to avoid taking too much damage (try to do this three times for the optional objective). Use the swivel guns to destroy exposed barrels on two of the ships to complete the objective. These first three ships can be easily destroyed with the swivel guns, so be sure to use them to destroy at least two of the ships to knock over that optional objective first. After taking down the first three ships, a frigate will appear to attack.These ships can take a little more damage, but still should not cause you any real issues. At this point, you should have no issue with bracing to avoid enemy attacks to complete the optional objective. Following the story scene, Sequence 5 will be complete. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- >> Note: At this point you will have earned the achievement/trophy ‘The Day the Templars Cried’. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- =============================================================================== Interlude: Power Source 1 - New York [ACT05F] =============================================================================== This is the first of three Desmond missions that has us visiting different places around the world to find power sources to help activate the ruins at our base of operations. As mentioned above, this short interlude has Desmond as the character of choice for players. There is not a whole lot to this level, it is fairly linear level and all you really need to do is use the various objects to free run through or climb up various sections of the skyscraper. When you duck under the door to exit outside, climb the crane to the right. At the top, use the hanging girders to go around the corner (what the hell are they doing out at night? I’m sure there’s a safety issue there!) and use the wiring to climb up to the next level. Turn right, duck under the blockage here and work your way up the various boxes and girders until you reach the top of the building. Climb the crane on the top of the building. When you reach the top, there will be a short scene. Jump off the crane, hit the button prompt when it appears on the screen and pilot the parachute down to the helipad below. Watch the scene to end the road trip! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- >> Note: For completing this level, you will earn the achievement/trophy ‘Criss Cross’. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- When you return back to the underground cave, you will be given the option to insert the power source now, or to return to the animus. Let’s do the power source later (if you want to do it now, check out the walkthrough for the level Present - The End [ACT12C] and see power source 1). Enter the animus when you are ready to continue Connor's story. =============================================================================== Sequence 6 [ACT006] =============================================================================== =============================================================================== Sequence 6 - Part 1: On Johnson's Trail [ACT06A] =============================================================================== Optional objective/s: ] ] > Limit firearm use to 6 shots ] ] > Use powder kegs to destroy the three crates ] ] > Complete all objectives in one playthrough ] _______________________________________________] --------------------- Part 1: Attack --------------------- After the introductory cinematic, make your way to Boston and track down Sam Adams, chat with him to start the next memory. Walk with him until the next scene plays. Now help the Frenchman, Stephane defeat the redcoats. Note that the previous fight may have increased your notoriety to level 1. There is an optional objective to keep notoriety below level 2. So either track down a wanted poster or during the rest of the mission be careful not to do anything suspicious that will alert the guards or cause your notoriety to increase any further. As such, carefully work your way across Boston to the meeting area and enter the target door to meet a few new faces. --------------------- Part 2: Liberate --------------------- Afterwards, run over to the docks. You will find a large circular restricted area here. This is where the crates we need to destroy are located. What we need to do is to sneak into the area, grab one of the explosive barrels from nearby, place it at the base of the target boxes and shoot it. Alternatively you can just go up to them and plant a small explosive device on them, but there is an optional objective for destroying them using the barrels so we may as well do it. Now, there are guards walking around and due to it being a restrictive area will not hesitate to attack you. You can use the water to easily approach the targets and if you do get into a fight with guards, ensure that you do not use the pistol (there is an optional objective to not use firearms more than 6 times). Once all three of the crates have been destroyed, we still have the additional objective of freeing the district from Templar influence. Follow the objective markers around the zone and there are a couple of different tasks to undertake – we are going to have to eliminate groups of tax collectors and kill a smuggler or two, just follow the objective marker – and remember to keep an eye on your notoriety and don’t use your pistol! Once you have done everything, the mission complete screen will pop up. =============================================================================== Sequence 6 - Part 2: The Angry Chef [ACT06B] =============================================================================== Optional objective/s: ] ] > Limit time in open conflict to less than 15 ] seconds. ] ] > Don't let Stephane's health drop below 50% ] ] > Perform 5 low profile assassinations ] ] > Complete all objectives in one playthrough ] _______________________________________________] Return to the tavern and talk to Stephane to start this mission. --------------------- Part 1: Escort --------------------- Stephane is going to go all crazy and stuff and lucky for you, you are going to escort him through the streets as he picks fight with soldiers in his path. Note that you can run up to and quickly assassinate these soldiers before they attack to kill them quickly. This will reduce your time in open conflict and allow you to earn the associated optional objective. However to get the optional objective to kill 5 guards using low profile assassinations, you are going to have to kill them without them detecting you. Your best bet is to allow Stephane to attack them and then sneak up and knife them in the back. Here are the locations you will find the guards Stephane will attack: 1. There are 2 to the right after going around the first corner. 2. There are 3 at the end of the next street wrestling with protesters.You do not need to kill them as they will run away. 3. A short distance further there are 2 leaning against the wall of a building opposite a graveyard. 4. There are 4 of them around the next corner from the last 2 guards. 5. 2 walking down the next street. 6. Finally, 2 against a wall in a nearby alleyway. Continue following Stephane until a cut-scene begins. Afterwards we’ll be able to send Stephane into the market to assassinate the target using the assassinate button. Do so for a story scene to end the mission. =============================================================================== Sequence 6 - Part 3: The Tea Party [ACT06C] =============================================================================== Optional objective/s: ] ] > Dump 10 crates of tea into the water during ] the defense sequence. ] ] > Throw three redcoats into the water. ] ] > Perform an air musket assassination. ] ] > Complete all objectives in one playthrough. ] _______________________________________________] --------------------- Part 1: Attack --------------------- When you are back in control of Connor, you are going to have to go and eliminate the two groups of guards highlighted with objective markers. Eliminate the group of five guards directly in front of your starting position. Once they are dead, continue across the boats to the left and kill the other group of guards here. Once they have all died a short story scene will play out. --------------------- Part 2: Defend --------------------- In this next section, look at the mini-map for the blue zone. We have a mate on each ship who we need to protect and to do so we will need to defend this against enemies. Whilst there is a little down time between enemies, be sure to pick up 10 crates from the deck of the boats and toss them into the water for an optional objective. Simply keep your eye on your map and kill the enemies as they approach. Be sure during this time to throw three enemies into the water. You can do this by countering and hitting the grab button to push them. Also during this time, you can loot a musket and when a guard is otherwise occupied on the dock below hop up on the railing of one of the ships and air assassinate him with a musket. Continue to kill the guards as they approach and once enough of the tea has been thrown into the river the mission will be completed. =============================================================================== Sequence 6 - Part 4: Hostile Negotiations [ACT06D] =============================================================================== Optional objective/s: ] ] > Reach Johnson without being detected. ] > Do not let any of the Native Americans be ] killed. ] > Perform a swan dive to escape. ] ] > Complete all objectives in one playthrough ] _______________________________________________] --------------------- Part 1: Infiltrate --------------------- Once you begin the mission, have a look at your map. We need to infiltrate the red circle. Jump down and when you reach the river. Look to the right and you’ll see a floating platform with a pair of guards on it. To the left of this is a group of reeds emerging from the water the entire way across the river. Swim across the river to the left of the reeds and when you reach the shore you will see two large rock formations. Climb up the rocks to the left and use the branches of the trees here to hop across to the other rock structure. From here we will be just above the floating platform in the river. Use the trees on the far side to work your way up to a higher area. Head over to the stone cliff opposite and climb to the top but do not climb over the edge; instead hang for a second until the coast is clear. Look to the left, see that stone ramp leading up to the left? We want to hop up on this and follow it to the end. Nearby you will find a tree stump. Make your way through the trees until you reach the cliff. Wait for the guards to move away then jump across to it and climb up. Approach the house to see a short scene. --------------------- Part 2: Assassinate --------------------- Note that after the scene, the game can place you in a couple of different areas automatically. Either way we want to climb up to the main building’s roof and go to the opposite side of the roof overlooking the meeting below. Identify Johnson and then air assassinate him before he has a chance to kill any of the natives. You will be treated to a quick story sequence in assassination mode. As soon as you return to normal mode, sprint directly away from the house and drop down to the lower rock path. From here find a rocky outcrop with a log sitting atop of it overlooking the river. Perform a swan dive from the end of the log. Simply swim forward and out of the red circle to complete the mission. =============================================================================== Sequence 7 [ACT007] =============================================================================== =============================================================================== Sequence 7 - Part 1: The Midnight Ride [ACT07A] =============================================================================== Optional objective/s: ] ] > Do not trigger open conflict ] ] > Reach Prescott's house within 2 minutes ] ] > Complete all objectives in one playthrough ] _______________________________________________] At the start of the chapter, you will be at the Homestead and receive a letter requesting your aide in Boston. So let’s head on back and make your way to Paul Revere to begin the mission. --------------------- Part 1: Horse Ride --------------------- Once you regain control of Connor, you will be on a horse, with Revere behind us in the saddle. To work our way through this mission, we need to enter the green mission area on the map and follow his instructions to reach our destination. Try to stick to the roads as our three objectives are right around them and if you see a patrol of redcoats, note that they have itchy trigger fingers and will attack and because one of our optional objectives is to not trigger open conflict, it is best to stop when you see them and let them pass before proceeding. In the first target area, once you are told to go the rest of the way on foot, you will notice four buildings in your immediate area. There is also a redcoat patrol here. The door we want to knock on is the northernmost one in the area. Do so to trigger a scene. Afterwards we’ll be back on our horse. Head for the next objective marker and follow revere’s instructions until you reach the next group of buildings. Here you’ll want to knock on the door to the south (there will be a guy using a hacksaw just in front of it). Again, following the scene we’ll be back on the horse. Follow the river nearby to the northwest and cross the bridge when you come to it (watch out for the redcoat patrol around here). Once you are over the bridge go and knock on the door to the first house on the left. --------------------- Part 2: Escape --------------------- It’s a trap! After the scene, you will be back on your trusty horse with Revere. You will notice that there is a new objective marker as well. We are now going to be hunted by redcoats and have an optional objective to reach Prescott within 2 minutes. Simply ride your way over to the objective marker and knock on the door in the dead centre of the green zone within the timeframe to complete the objective. After one more short scene, we need to ride over to Lexington, just follow the objective markers until you reach the target house and go inside to complete the mission. =============================================================================== Sequence 7 - Part 2: Lexington and Concord [ACT07B] =============================================================================== Optional objective/s: ] ] > Kill an entire group of soldiers with a ] single order seven times ] ] > Rescue the civilian hostage ] ] > Complete all objectives in one playthrough ] _______________________________________________] --------------------- Part 1: Horse Ride --------------------- Head over to the exclamation mark in Lexington in the frontier to start the mission. When you are back in control of Connor, hop on the nearby horse and start making your way towards the objective marker in the distance. We need to reach Concord within three minutes, once you reach the next small township on the way, you’ll receive an optional objective to rescue a civilian hostage. Keep an eye out to the left as you continue through the village to find the redcoats with the hostage (they will be marked with red dots above their heads). Quickly cross the bridge here to kill them and then hop back on the horse and continue to the objective marker. --------------------- Part 2: Defend --------------------- After a story scene and a few tips from Barrett, you will now be on horseback and need to defend the bridge from the advancing British forces. There are three groups of soldiers here. One directly at the bridge itself and another group either side of it. As you approach each group you will see a circle appear on the ground around them. When you are inside the circle, you can give them the order to fire. Now, to complete the mission, we need to keep our eyes on the opposite side of the river and you will see the redcoats moving up to the river from the left, the right and the centre. They will form a firing line when they reach the position, so firing at them just before they are in order will inflict the maximum number of casualties. Note there is an optional objective to kill 7 entire groups with a single order, you should get this pretty easily as it will come with defending the bridge. We need to ride back and forth between the three positions and giving the order to fire. Try to get them to shoot before the lines or formed or if they are formed, between opposition shots. Once you have killed 130 British soldiers (should take 3-4 minutes) a scene will play to signal your success. Make your way to the objective marker to chat with Barrett to end the mission. =============================================================================== Sequence 7 - Part 3: Conflict Looms [ACT07C] =============================================================================== Optional objective/s: ] ] > Cross Charlestown without taking damage. ] ] > Air assassinate a grenadier ] ] > Remain undetected whilst on ships ] ] > Complete all objectives in one playthrough ] _______________________________________________] --------------------- Part 1: Escape --------------------- After the previous mission, you will find yourself automatically in Philadelphia where you will watch a scene. Afterwards continue down the hallway and exit the door at the far end. When we are back in familiar territory you will notice that we are in the frontier. Work your way over to the exclamation mark and speak with the man here to start the mission. Follow the man on horseback until you reach the encampment. Head over to Israel for a short story sequence. Once you can control Connor again, note the optional objective to cross Charlestown without taking damage. Unfortunately the boats in the harbour are shelling the village and there are a few guards around that will attack or shoot at us as we go through, so we need to avoid both. We are going to slide down the cliff nearby and enter town. Hop the fence at the bottom and run down the street towards the objective marker. When the building collapses in front, turn left and use the upper path next to the building to get around behind it. Continue along the street until the next corner and head to the left. Follow this to the end to reach the water. Swim out to the objective marker. --------------------- Part 2: Infiltrate --------------------- We are now able to complete the other two optional objectives: Air assassinate a grenadier and remain undetected on the ships. Swim to the northernmost of the two ships. Swim to the far side of the ship and climb up towards the stern (back) of the ship. Scope the area and look for the guard with the large back pack, fuzzy hat and the kilt on. This is the only grenadier on the two ships, so we will have to air assassinate him if we want to complete the optional objective. Note the various guards patrol patterns. We want to clear the back of the ship. Use the side of the ship to pull any patrolling guards you can into the ocean and then pop up and take any more patrollers down silently using corner takedowns. When only the grenadier is left, climb the rigging and air assassinate him. Go to the mast in the centre of the ship and interact with it to plant an explosive. You’ll then have 10 seconds to jump off the boat. Dive overboard and swim to the next ship. The southern ship is a little easier. Climb up from the side furthest from land again and note the guards on board. All of them are stationary bar two. One of them will patrol the central deck, whilst the other will patrol around the front of the ship. Pull the central patroller into the water and then when the patrolling guy at the front of the ship is not looking climb up and interact with the barrel. Quickly run and jump into the water. Once both ships have been destroyed, climb to the top of the mast indicated and interact with it to put up your flag. Dive into the water and start swimming back to shore to complete the mission. =============================================================================== Sequence 7 - Part 4: Battle of Bunker Hill [ACT07D] =============================================================================== Optional objective/s: ] ] > Air assassinate Pitcairn without being ] detected ] ] > Cross the battlefield without taking damage ] ] > Kill fewer than four soldiers ] ] > Complete all objectives in one playthrough ] _______________________________________________] --------------------- Part 1: Infiltrate --------------------- When you are back on dry land following the previous mission, mount the horse nearby and follow the patriot back to Putnam’s camp. Walk forward and hop off your horse to watch a scene. Afterwards we need to run down the hill to the objective marker and take cover here. See the objective marker in the distance to the left of the hill? That’s where we need to go. Unfortunately, the soldiers on the hill will constantly be firing. Luckily the majority of them will all fire at the same time. Wait until you see the hill light up and when the shots are done, run to the next piece of cover. Continue to move between cover when it is safe to do so until you reach the marker. If you can cross the battlefield without taking cover you will complete the optional objective for doing so. Once you are at the objective marker, find the raised stone to your right and use it to access the trees above. Work your way through the trees until you reach a cliff you can climb to the area at the top. --------------------- Part 2: Assassinate --------------------- We’ll now get the optional objectives to limit kills on soldiers to 4 or less and to air assassinate Pitcairn without being detected. Tricky, but not impossible! Crawl through the low bushes nearby and follow the fallen tree to the left. At the end of the bushes here, wait for the patrolling guard to pass and then walk straight ahead and down to the next set of bushes to the north. Follow these to the end again. Once more, wait for the guard to patrol past and then run over and jump into the hay cart to the south. From the cart look to the left and you will see a series of tents with a single guard patrolling between them. Wait for him to start back to the south (and the guard patrolling in the immediate area is not looking) and then run over to the tents and hide in the bushes on the far side of them. Work your way to the next group of bushes to the south. From here we will be able to see a tree stump and a tree. Wait for the guard to start patrolling back to the north and then use the tree stump to climb the tree. Jump to the next tree to the left and from here to the flagpole below. From the top of the flagpole Target Pitcairn and air assassinate him. With that sequence 7 is complete. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- >> Note: for completing sequence 7 you will earn the achievement/trophy ‘The Whites of Their Eyes’. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- =============================================================================== Sequence 8 [ACT008] =============================================================================== =============================================================================== Sequence 8 - Part 1: Something on the Side [ACT08A] =============================================================================== Optional objective/s: ] ] > Do not tackle or shove anyone during the ] chase sequence. ] ] > Perform a successful static eavesdrop. ] ] > Perform a successful mobile eavesdrop. ] ] > Complete all objectives in one playthrough ] _______________________________________________] After the short intro to the chapter, we are going to have to travel to New York. Head over to the frontier to find that it has now been added to the map. Cruise over to the exclamation mark (or fast travel if you prefer) and enter New York. --------------------- Part 1: Follow --------------------- As you enter, hop on the horse and walk over to the guy with the exclamation mark above his head nearby. Follow him into town until a cut-scene plays. Upon completion of the scene, you will have to tail the counterfeiter. You can climb the stairs to this right and follow him from above thanks to plenty of platforms and other objects we can climb on. After he rounds the first corner he will stop. He will cross the main street, so drop down and follow him. Climb the stairs to his right again as he enters the next side-street. He will get into a brief scuffle and then return to the main street. Drop back down and follow him into the next alley to the right. Walk through the grassy area and when he stops again, hide behind some cover to avoid detection. He’ll then enter a courtyard and meet with a couple of friends. You will need to eavesdrop on them. Afterwards follow him again across the next street and he will stop take cover behind the wall of the building to the left. Follow him down the alley to the left and take cover behind the fence. When he pops out of the well continue to follow him until he meets another mate. Unfortunately you are going to have to eavesdrop on these guys too, but this time they will be moving. Follow them and stay within range of their conversation. Use the people on street to blend in with and walls to take cover behind as you go. Make sure to equip coins as about halfway through street children will come up to you and unless you throw money on the ground, the noise they make will alert the guys you are tailing to your presence. When they stop, hide behind the wooden structure to the right. Follow them into the next alley for a scene. --------------------- Part 2: Chase --------------------- Afterwards you will have to chase Hickey down. The optional objective here is to not tackle or shove anybody in the process. This is difficult however as Hickey will drop coins frequently to attract crowds to block your path. To avoid them, try to run to either side of the group as you pass. Once you have tackled Hickey a scene will play to signify the end of the mission. =============================================================================== Sequence 8 - Part 2: Bridewell Prison [ACT08B] =============================================================================== Optional objective/s: ] ] > Kill fewer than two prison guards. ] ] > Reach Hickey within 2 minutes. ] ] > Complete all objectives in one playthrough. ] _______________________________________________] --------------------- Part 1: Pickpocket --------------------- Once you regain control of Connor, you’ll be in a prison cell. Stand up and take cover on the wall nearby to eavesdrop on the inhabitants of the adjacent cell. Afterwards interact with the bed. After a short scene, follow the guard out of the cell and down to the lower level of the prison. Activate eagle vision and then head over and talk to Weems (he’s the one sitting in a chair at the table with the board game). Head over and talk with him. Play the game with him until the end of the conversation. Find the prisoner with the golden objective marker above his head and pickpocket the key from him and then return to your cell. When you are able, return down to the lower level prison and speak to Weems. Now you will have to pick a fight with the other prisoners to get thrown into solitary confinement. Once you have knocked out enough of the other prisoners, the guards will intervene and after a short cut-scene you’ll find yourself in your new cell. --------------------- Part 2: Escape --------------------- In this area the prison warden is wandering about. Wait for him to stand outside of your cell door and pick his pocket for the key. Connor will open the door. As you exit the cell, the warden will be to your left. Follow him around the corner and when he turns to the right, climb up the stairs at the end of the passage. In the next room you will find Weems. Talk with him and he’ll allow you to access the VIP prisoners’ cells. --------------------- Part 3: Infiltrate --------------------- We now have a new optional objective – reach Hickey in less than 2 minutes. It should be noted that being detected by guards in this section will result in desynchronisation and will force you back to the start of the area. As you enter the main room, wait for the guard in front of you to climb the stairs. Enter the cell just to your right and hide in here so you can see the guard we just followed. Wait for him to walk over to the opposite side of the room. Step out of the cell and wait at the foot of the next set of stairs. Wait for the guard to move past the top of the stairs and stop just to the left. Climb the stairs and turn right, quickly run over and interact with the marked door before you are detected. Easy and you should have been able to do it well within the 2 minute time limit for the optional objective. =============================================================================== Sequence 8 - Part 3: Public Execution [ACT08C] =============================================================================== Optional objective/s: ] ] > Don't let any of washington's body guards be ] killed. ] ] > Kill the two enemy soldiers. ] ] > Complete all objectives in one playthrough. ] _______________________________________________] As the level begins your hands will be bound. Simply walk through the crowd up to the platform with the nooses. A scene will play, when the button prompt comes onto the screen to signal the assassins hit the required button. When you regain control, Hickey will start sprinting away from you towards the far end of the square. Run through the crowd, killing the two soldiers as you go and then focus on killing Hickey to be rewarded with a short assassination scene. Afterwards, you will be back in Philadelphia again. Follow Achilles. Interact with the door to his right to end the mission and the sequence. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- >> Note: for completing sequence 8 you will earn the achievement/trophy ‘Caged Wolf’. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- =============================================================================== Interlude: Power Source 2 - Brazil [ACT08D] =============================================================================== Once again we are in Desmond’s shoes. From the start, turn to the left and climb the stairs a little further down the passage. You will be at a sports stadium near a ticket gate but with no ticket. Look to the right side of the room, you will find an open door below the glowing green sign. Once you reach the outdoor area, you will see a pair of Abstergo security guards. Duck into the bushes and work your way around the corner to the left. Enter the open door at the top of the small set of stairs here. You’re back in the stadium! Turn right and follow the concourse. Walk in a group with some other spectators to avoid being detected by the Abstergo goons. When you see the Abstergo checkpoint to the left, enter the toilet straight ahead. Conveniently, there is a second exit to the toilet. Head through here and when you are back on the concourse head right again. Look out for another green sign along the right hand wall and duck into the open door here. Duck under the roller door at the end of the next room. Hop the rail in front and climb up on the slanted platform on the right. Jump to the forked beam and then over the fence nearby. Get to the higher platform and enter the open window. Climb the stairs and watch out for an Abstergo guard patrolling here. Follow him along the path until he stops. Blend in with some of the crowd here and wait for him to patrol back past you again. Enter the door on the left at the end of the hall. Head over to the far left hand corner and jump through the forked support and follow the beam all the way to the middle and then onwards to the room on the opposite side of the stadium. Exit the door and follow the hallway to the left. As you approach you will see a short story scene. You will now have to chase down the attacker. Follow him down the stairs and across the concourse avoiding the Abstergo agents that will try to stop you. When you find yourself in the outdoor area, you will find Cross, defeat him (easiest way is to counter and push him away) and any soldiers that are still after you. Once they are down, Desmond will retrieve the power source. Find the passage beside the blue sign, run through the ticket area, down the stairs and to the right to jump on a train to complete our Brazil road trip. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- >> Note: You will earn the achievement/trophy ‘Daddy Dearest’ for completing this mission. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- When you return back to the underground cave, you will be given the option to insert the power source now, or to return to the animus. Let’s do the power source later (if you want to do it now, check out the walkthrough for the level Present - The End [ACT12C] and see power source 2). Enter the animus when you are ready to continue Connor's story. =============================================================================== Sequence 9 [ACT009] =============================================================================== =============================================================================== Sequence 9 - Part 1: Missing Supplies [ACT09A] =============================================================================== Optional objective/s: ] ] > Catch the cart driver within 30 seconds. ] ] > Follow the convoy without riding in the hay ] cart. ] ] > Kill three camp guards without being ] detected. ] ] > Complete all objectives in one playthrough. ] _______________________________________________] After the introduction, make your way over to the explanation mark. Talk to George Washington here to start the mission. --------------------- Part 1: Investigate --------------------- Make your way over to the waypoint marker to find an abandoned church. Hop in one of the open windows for a short scene. After the scene, head out the door and examine the nearby clues. Note that there is a large group of redcoats that will patrol the road here and they will attack you on sight so avoid them if you want to save a little time. As per usual, with each clue you find, the search zone will be decreased. Once you have found enough, you will locate the cart with a lone guy examining it. This is the driver. Following the scene, the driver will run away. Note that you will complete an optional objective by tackling him within 30 seconds. Follow him and tackle him when you get the chance. Once you are able to move again, make your way over to the next objective marker. --------------------- Part 2: Follow --------------------- At this point, you will have to follow the cart. The easy way to do this is to hop into the back of the cart, however there is an optional objective to follow the cart without riding in it. To do this you want to drop down to ground level and head over to the rocks to the left of the cart. Once the cart starts, hop up on these and use the trees and rocks along the side of the road to follow the cart along the left hand side of the road until it stops. --------------------- Part 3: Infiltrate --------------------- Once the cart stops, you will magically be inside the hay cart whether you rode it in or not. There is an optional objective in this next zone to kill three guards without being detected. Hang out in the hay for a second and wait for the guard to patrol past. Assassinate him from cover (optional objective 1/3). Hop out and follow the eavesdrop targets to the north, enter the bushes and stay in cover as you follow them. When you reach the small building on the left, take cover behind the crate to the right of it. Take cover here until nobody is looking and look to the left, you will find another guard behind a crate here. Assassinate him (optional objective 2/3). Pop into the bushes nearby and wait for the eavesdrop targets to stop and move on. As they do, assassinate the guy leaning on the crate to your left (optional objective 3/3). Follow the conversation down by the water by hiding in the bushes. After a short scene, kill all the mercenaries in the area to complete the mission. =============================================================================== Sequence 9 - Part 2: Father and Son [ACT09B] =============================================================================== Optional objective/s: ] ] > Do not get detected whilst stealing the ] mercenaries uniform. ] ] > Complete all objectives in one playthrough. ] ] _______________________________________________] Make your way to New York and track down the exclamation mark to start the mission. Follow your newfound ally up and across the rooves until there is a short cut-scene. Continue to follow him until you are back on the ground. After another short scene, you will have to go and get a soldier’s uniform. Head over to the red objective marker. Wait for the guard to walk away from his friends and when he is isolated, kill him. Loot the body to don the uniform. Note that if you can kill him without being detected you will complete the optional objective for doing so. This will complete the mission. =============================================================================== Sequence 9 - Part 3: The Foam and the Flames [ACT09C] =============================================================================== Optional objective/s: ] ] > Do not let your ally lose more than 50% of ] his health. ] ] > Do not take any fire damage. ] ] > Complete all objectives in one playthrough. ] _______________________________________________] --------------------- Part 1: Defend --------------------- Follow your friend around the corner for a scene. Afterwards, you will have to fight off the enemies. Whilst you do ensure that your partner keeps his health above 50% to complete the optional objective tied into that. --------------------- Part 2: Escape --------------------- Following the scene, the building we are in will now be on fire. Note that there is an optional objective here to not receive fire damage. It’s really not all that difficult, so be sure to stay clear. Follow your partner up the broken platform nearby and use the beams at the top of the room to navigate to the opposite side of the area. Continue towards the objective marker and after the platform collapses duck under the beams in front. Continue around the corner to the right and use the broken stairs to jump up to the platform above. Climb the wall here and jump backwards onto the suspended platform. Leap across to the opposite wall and climb to the top for a scene to complete the mission. =============================================================================== Sequence 9 - Part 4: A Bitter End [ACT09D] =============================================================================== Optional objective/s: ] ] > Limit environmental damage to the ship to ] less than 20% ] ] > Stay within 500 meters of the schooner once ] the chase section begins ] ] > Achieve a combo kill streak of at least 3 ] ] > Complete all objectives in one playthrough. ] _______________________________________________] After the previous mission has been completed, talk to your friend on the docks to start the mission. --------------------- Part 1: Navigate --------------------- Pilot the ship through the passage until you reach an open area with a ship parked off to the right. Go and pilot the ship over to investigate. --------------------- Part 2: Naval Chase --------------------- After a short moment, another ship will appear nearby, follow it. This is a chase sequence similar to some of those we’ve had on foot in some of the earlier missions, we need to track down and catch up to the enemy ship. Note that there is an optional objective to stay within 500 meters of the enemy schooner. So be sure to keep your speed up, but watch out for rogue waves and lower your sails only when necessary to steer more accurately. --------------------- Part 3: Naval Battle --------------------- When you reach the open water, a group of ships will ambush you. Use your weapons to take down all four of the ships with red markers. The ship that has the golden objective marker needs to be taken down with the chain shot and then boarded. Don’t forget to look out for the red indicator in the water that will let you know fire is about to come in and take cover appropriately. Once the four ships have been eliminated focus on the target vessel. Once you have hit it with a few chain shots, it will stop moving. Crash your boat into it to board it. --------------------- Part 4: Attack --------------------- Note that whilst on board the enemy ship, you will have an optional objective to perform a kill streak of at least three, so keep that in mind as you engage the enemies. To start with, you need to kill all three officers on the deck. They have red objective markers to make things easier. Once all three are dead, you’ll be given access to the lower decks. Work your way over to the door to the right and enter the door at the end and hit the attack button when prompted to complete the mission and sequence 9. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- >> Note: For completing sequence 9 you will earn the achievement/trophy ‘Two if by Sea’. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- =============================================================================== Sequence 10 [ACT010] =============================================================================== =============================================================================== Sequence 10 - Part 1: Alternate Methods [ACT10A] =============================================================================== Optional objective/s: ] ] > Use a guard as a human shield twice. ] ] > Tackle the fleeing target from above. ] ] > Complete all objectives in one playthrough. ] _______________________________________________] After the introductory sequence, fast travel to the frontier and then to New York.Track down the exclamation mark and speak to your buddy from the previous sequence to start the mission. --------------------- Part 1: Attack --------------------- Continuing onwards from the scene, follow Haytham until you reach a vantage point overlooking the officer’s meeting. Once the cinematic is over, drop down to the area below and kill the enemies here. At this point, you can earn one of the optional objectives – use guards as human shields twice. The officers will hang out at the far end of the room and shoot constantly, so when they are doing it, be sure to pop a guard in the way a couple of times. Once all of the soldiers have been defeated, continue over to the officers who will surrender for a scene. --------------------- Part 2: Chase --------------------- Follow the guard drown the street and into the first alley to the right. Follow him through the back yard and back to the main street. He’ll turn a corner and begin to slow down, continue after him as he ducks into a side street to the left. Climb the stairs on the left side of this street and from the top jump down onto the target to tackle him from above to complete the optional objective. Following the scene, you’ll be at the fort. You will also have a pistol out. Push the guard through the fort as you follow Haytham until a scene plays to complete the mission. =============================================================================== Sequence 10 - Part 2: Broken Trust [ACT10B] =============================================================================== Optional objective/s: ] ] > Stop the Kanien'keha:ka using only non-lethal] methods. ] ] > Do not touch the ground during the horse ] chase sequence. ] ] > Stop the patriot messengers within 3 minutes.] ] > Complete all objectives in one playthrough. ] _______________________________________________] Return to the frontier and make your way all the way over to Washington for a chat to start the mission. --------------------- Part 1:Chase --------------------- Ride your horse down the hill and across the river on your way to the objective marker. Follow the dirt path up the hill here and continue along it. You will need to kill all of the patriot messengers in your way. Killing all of them within 3 minutes will complete the optional objective that asks you to do just that. The objective to not touch the ground is also in force during this sequence. Here is the order of riders we need to stop and hoiw to deal with them: 1. On the ground to the left of the road. Shoot him. 2. A group of three riders. You can shoot all three or stand in your saddle and jump over and assassinate the trailing rider and then shoot his two friends. 3. One more rider, you may have to shoot him twice to kill him. Once the five messengers have been killed, ride towards the objective marker. Enter the village and speak with the Clan Mother. --------------------- Part 2: Defend --------------------- After the chat, exit the village and make your way to the objective marker. Our Native American friends are moving into attack the loyalist camp. We need to stop them before they reach the restricted area. To complete the final optional objective for the mission, make sure you are unarmed, sneak up on each of them without letting them detect you and take them down without killing them. Once all of them have been neutralised a scene will play, press the action button when prompted to end the mission. =============================================================================== Sequence 10 - Part 3: Battle of Monmouth [ACT10C] =============================================================================== Optional objective/s: ] ] > Neutralise a platoon with a single cannonball] eight different times. ] ] > Kill two platoons using a single cannonball. ] ] > Prevent three different patriot executions. ] ] > Complete all objectives in one playthrough. ] _______________________________________________] After finishing the previous mission, make your way over to the exclamation mark in the southern part of the frontier. Speak to Lafayette to begin the mission. --------------------- Part 1: Defend --------------------- Once gameplay resumes, you will be behind and in control of a cannon. From here you will be able to look down the road in front of you to see a large number of advancing redcoat troops. Our goal is to defend this area for three minutes. To do so, we need to fire the cannon at the approaching army. Note the circular marker on the ground in the distance. This is the location where our cannonball is going to land when we fire. The British forces will advance down the middle of the road as well as from areas to both the left and the right. There are a couple of optional objectives that can be achieved using the cannon and should come with little difficulty and natural progression. We need to take down a platoon of soldiers with one cannonball shot on eight different occasions and also to take down two platoons with a single shot. Simply have the cannon move left to right, taking out the groups as they move into your firing range. Continue pounding away until the timer runs out. --------------------- Part 2: Timed Retreat --------------------- Following the cannon sequence, we will retreat. We have three minutes to reach our allies. During this retreating sequence we will be able to complete the final optional objective – stop three patriot executions. Sprint down the hill towards the objective marker in the distance. Continue along the road, and after you pass the first house, you will see the first execution taking part just to the left of the road. Kill all the redcoats to save the patriot soldier (stop execution 1/3). Continue towards the next objective marker. After the second time it jumps forward, you’ll be able to see a second execution happening in front of a house to the left. Again kill the redcoats to break it up (stop execution 2/3). Head back to the road and keep onwards towards the objective markers. You will see the final execution taking place to the right of the road, so stop that from happening (stop execution 3/3) and then continue running towards the objective markers until a scene plays to complete the mission. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- >> Note: For completing this level you will earn the achievement/trophy ‘Grim Expectations’. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- =============================================================================== Interlude: Power Source 3 - Italy [ACT10D] =============================================================================== It’s time for the third and final Desmond mission. In this level we will be back in the Abstergo facility in Italy that the entirety of the first game was played out in. Upon entering, move forwards until you see a scene with the guards. Kill them when you are able to do so. Enter the elevator on the back wall of the area. When you regain control, you’ll be in an elevator shaft, climb up to the open door above opposite the windows. Grab the guy looking into the shaft and drop him to his death before quickly jumping out and killing his two mates. Continue down the hallway to the left and enter the open door. Kill two more guards in this next room. Continue along the catwalk in the next area and kill the group of three guards blocking your path. Turn to the right when you are able and kill the next set of three guards at the end of the walkway. As you engage them, another pair of baddies will jump out of the windows to the left. Kill all five of them and then climb in through the broken window. Enter the door to the left; hey it’s that room we spent the first game in! After a short story sequence involving Cross, he will run off so follow him back into the previous hallway and kill the two guards that are now here. At the end of the hallway turn right and follow him until another scene occurs. Hop through the now broken window and jump down to ground level. Kill all the Abstergo security forces down here and then look out for Cross. He will be hopping around on the various platforms and climbable surfaces above the room. When you get the chance, tackle him to trigger a scene. Following the scene you’ll be on a lift. Upon getting off the lift, kill the four guards who comprise the welcoming party. Continue forward and kill another pair of enemies who emerge from a door to the right. Afterwards continue to the left. Kill another 5-6 enemies in the next area and then a further two once the door at the fare end of the room opens. Once it is all clear, the woman huddling in the corner will open the door opposite the counter for you. Walk through and into the next room for a scene; press the action button when prompted. Afterwards, simply walk towards the exit and use the apple to eliminate all the enemies in your way. Exit through the door to end the mission. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- >> Note: You will earn the achievement/trophy ‘The End is Nigh’ for completing this road trip. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- When you return back to the underground cave, you will be given the option to insert the power source now, or to return to the animus. Let’s do the power source later (if you want to do it now, check out the walkthrough for the level Present - The End [ACT12C] and see power source 3). Enter the animus when you are ready to continue Connor's story. =============================================================================== Sequence 11 [ACT011] =============================================================================== =============================================================================== Sequence 11 - Part 1: Battle of the Chesapeake [ACT11A] =============================================================================== Optional objective/s: ] ] > Destroy a ship using only a single broadside ] cannon attack three different times. ] ] > Destroy two frigates by shooting their powder] stores. ] ] > Kill five enemies using a counter attack. ] ] > Complete all objectives in one playthrough. ] _______________________________________________] After the introductory sequence, exit the Homestead and make your way down to the harbourmaster below. Run over to your ship and interact with the exclamation mark to view the sailing map. Select the exclamation mark here to begin the mission. --------------------- Part 1: Naval Battle --------------------- This mission features a large scale naval battle. Huzzah! During the first part of this mission, you can earn the optional objective to destroy a ship using only a single broadside (cannon fire) on three different occasions. As you begin sail with the two friendly ships towards the objective marker. There are two battles ahead, so get ready to fight! ----------------------------------------- First battle – Destroy the loyalist fleet ----------------------------------------- There are eight enemy ships waiting for you. There will be one large ship and seven smaller schooners. Broadside the schooners to take at least three of them down with a single volley for the optional objective and then eliminate the remaining ships. As always, don’t forget to take cover when you see the red indicator in the water! Killing off a few of these vessels will cause another five to enter the area and join the battle. There will be another four of the small schooners and another large ship to destroy. After a short scene, the next battle will commence. --------------------------------------------------- Second battle – Destroy the loyalist re-enforcement --------------------------------------------------- Next up another four schooners and a larger ship will appear. As you kill these another three ships will show up. These are the frigates. There is an optional objective tied into these ships. You will have to destroy two of them by with the swivel gun. To do this, we need to damage the front of the frigate (either with a broadside or by crashing into it) to expose the powder barrels; shoot these to destroy the boat. --------------------- Part 2: Attack --------------------- Once all of the enemy ships have been dealt with, follow your allied ship. Once it sinks, sail over to the green circle on the map. When you arrive, ram the massive man-of-war ship to board. After a short scene, you will be on the deck of the ship. At this point, you are tasked with assassinating the ship’s captain. Before you do that however it should be noted that this is your opportunity to complete the optional objective to kill five enemies with a counter attack. Engage the crew until you have your five counter kills and then tack down and kill the captain. Following the short cut-scene, you will have 10 seconds to escape the ship. Follow the golden objective marker and jump off the ship to complete the mission. =============================================================================== Sequence 11 - Part 2: Lee's Last Stand [ACT11B] =============================================================================== Optional objective/s: ] ] > Lose less than 50% health during the mission.] ] > Remain undetected on the way to the signal ] fire. ] ] > Reach the signal fire without being detected.] ] > Complete all objectives in one playthrough. ] _______________________________________________] After the previous mission, you will be back on dry land. Make your way to the exclamation mark in the southernmost part of New York and enter the hatch to the underground. Work your way through the tunnels to the exclamation marker and speak to Lafayette to begin the mission. --------------------- Part 1: Infiltrate --------------------- Once we are in the military district, we’ll have three optional objectives to attempt. We have to reach the top of the lighthouse within 3 minutes, remain undetected on the way and lose less than 50% of your health during the course of the mission. At the start you will be in a well. Grab the enemy in front. Climb the building to the right. Continue along the rooftop here to the far end and jump to the building opposite. Continue over the next two rooftops, being sure to stay out of the guards lines of sight. When you reach the gap that is too large to jump, hop over to the building to the right and use the beam here to jump to the V-shaped tree and from there to the next building. From this roof we will now be able to see the lighthouse ahead. Hop to the building in front and to the left and from here look down at the courtyard below. Jump down into the hay cart below. If you face the target building, there will be a guard patrolling the elevated circular platform to the left of the light house. There is a second guard to the left who will patrol around the corner of the building behind us and back again. There will be an additional guard behind us and to the right who will patrol up to the hay cart and then away again. You can assassinate the guard on the right from cover if you wish. When none of the guards are looking, quickly sprint over to the lighthouse and use the scaffold on the right to get a shortcut up and climb the building to the platform indicated by the marker. Interact with the torch here. Following the instructions above, I reached the torch undetected with 55 seconds remaining. After the cinematic, Connor will be a little groggy. Work your way over to the red indicator and as you approach a scene will play. --------------------- Part 2: Attack --------------------- When you regain control, you will be in a small tunnel looking out at a courtyard. Exit for a scene. You will now have to fight the bad guy here. He is quite strong and you will be unable to kill him in the normal way. To do it, you will need to counter his attacks when you are near an environmental object (tables, barrels etc.) to damage him with it. Once he has taken enough damage, a scene will play. Press the action button when indicated to complete the mission and the sequence. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- >> Note: For completing sequence 11 you will have earned the achievement ‘Difficult End’. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- =============================================================================== Sequence 12 [ACT012] =============================================================================== =============================================================================== Sequence 12 - Part 1: Laid to Rest [ACT12A] =============================================================================== Optional objective/s: ] ] > Kill less than 15 guards over the course of ] the mission. ] ] > Escape the ship without entering open ] conflict. ] ] > Kill the ship's captain. ] ] > Complete all objectives in one playthrough. ] _______________________________________________] After the cut-scene to introduce the chapter, we’ll be in New York. --------------------- Part 1: Attack --------------------- Follow the alleyway in front and exit into the graveyard in front of the church. Move towards your target and a scene will play. After the scene, hit the button prompt when it pops up on the screen to free yourself. Now you will have to kill all five of the mercenaries in the immediate area. Return around to the right of the building in front and kill the rest of the marked enemies here. After another short conversation, make your way to the objective marker and when you reach the docks, hop into the water and swim out to the boat in the harbour. --------------------- Part 2: Infiltrate --------------------- Note that one of the optional objectives is to kill less than 15 guards during the mission. After fighting off all the guards at the start of the mission you will have killed 13/15 already (although if you are able to perform a double kill on some of them, the number may be lower). That’s alright though as we’ll only be killing two on the ship. At the southern end of the ship closest to shore, climb the rope here and climb up. Shimmy around the boat to the right and climb the poles to access a higher set of handholds, shimmy back to the left to the south of the boat. Climb to the top deck here and wait for the guard to look away and then hop up over the railing and to the roof nearby. From here jump to the next roof to the right. Drop down over the side facing the water and shimmy to the window to eavesdrop on the conversation inside. After the conversation, drop down to the series of wooden supports sticking out from the ship below. Hop along them to the right. When you go around the corner you will see a guard on a platform overlooking above. Jump into the water below and swim to the right around the back side of the ship until you reach the opposite side. You will see a platform in the water here populated with three guards with stairs leading up to the ship behind it. Wait for the soldier on the stairs to start climbing up to the deck again. Hop out onto the barrels at the end of the floating platform behind the three guards and then jump over to the side of the ship. Quickly shimmy back to the left to the stern of the ship. When you can go no further to the left, climb the side of the boat up as far as you can but don’t climb onto the deck just yet. Hang off the platform here and wait for the guards to patrol away before climbing up to the platform above. Climb up on top of the building in front and drop down the other side. Take cover behind the crates next to the window to eavesdrop on the next conversation. Following the conversation, we’ll be able to jump off the boat to safety if you like, however if you do that you will miss the opportunity to try for our next optional objective. We need to kill the Captain. After the conversation, follow the guard walking in front of the cabin to the opposite side of the ship. Assassinate him. Return to the boxes we took cover in whilst eavesdropping the second time. After a few moments the captain will return up to the deck. Wait for him to walk past and he will go and run over to investigate the dead body. Sneak up on him and assassinate him. Jump into the water to finish the mission. =============================================================================== Sequence 12 - Part 2: Chasing Lee [ACT12B] =============================================================================== Optional objective/s: ] ] > Stay within 50 meters of Lee at all times ] during the chase sequence. ] ] > Do not shove or push anyone during the chase ] sequence. ] ] > Don not take any fire damage. ] ] > Complete all objectives in one playthrough. ] _______________________________________________] --------------------- Part 1: Identify --------------------- After the previous mission, fast travel to the Frontier. From here fast travel to Boston and make your way to the door marked with the exclamation mark and enter it to start the mission. You’ll find yourself outside. Make your way over to the objective marker at the harbour. Swim out to the green zone in the water. Climb up onto the platform in the middle of this area. Activate Eagle vision and walk around the area until you find the golden target – he should be on the dock in front of one of the ships in the southeast of the circular area. Approach him for a scene. --------------------- Part 2: Chase --------------------- Unfortunately you will now have to chase him. Just a word of warning - trying to complete this chase with all the optional objectives tagged onto it was definitely the most frustrating experience in the entire game. So try not to break a controller. During the sequence, we will have to stay within 50 meters of the target at all times, additionally we cannot push or shove anyone or take any fire from damage during the sequence. Here’s the run of things: 1. There will be four groups of guards forming check points along the dock that the target will run through. You need to run around either side of them and hop over the objects to avoid the guards. 2. At the third group, jump down to the platform down the stairs to the left. 3. At the end of this area, hop to the boat and then across and up into the burning ship. Note if you haven’t touched anyone, you will earn that no push/shove objective at this point. 4. Inside the ship, avoid the fire at all costs! Duck under the fallen wall in front and climb the wall to the right. Use the beam and the V-shaped support here to jump over to the far platform. Once the roof collapses, hop over the low wall and out the door. 5. Go round the corner to the left and hold the free run button to quickly make your way through the obstacle course. Eventually you will end up on the top deck with your target. Approach him for a scene. --------------------- Part 3: End --------------------- After the scene, slowly make your way over to the harbourmaster. He’s marked with the objective marker. When you regain control of Connor, walk up to the door of the building in front of you and enter. During the scene, press the button when prompted to complete the mission, the sequence and the whole of Connor’s story! =============================================================================== Present - The End [ACT12C] =============================================================================== Once you have returned from any one of your Desmond road trips, you will have obtained a power source that can be used to power up the ancient temple. There are three different control panels that we will need to insert the power sources into. Placing a power source into a socket will open a route to the subsequent power source panel. Once all three of the sources have been inserted, a bridge will form beyond the blue holographic wall. --------------------- Power Source 1 --------------------- Whilst looking at the blue door, look to the left to see a platform across the gap. Jump across tot he ledge on the other side. Climb the set of stairs here and enter the room to the left at the top. You will see a short story scene. Afterwards, climb the stairs at the back of the room to the very top. Jump across to the metal platform on the left and follow it around to the right. Climb the wall at the end and shimmy accross the metal bar to the left. Jump over to the next metal bar and follow it to the right and jump over to the platform. Another story scene will play. Head through the open door to the right and interact with the corner panel here to insert the power source. This will open an area which will give us access to the next power source slot. Return to the main room. --------------------- Power Source 2 --------------------- Standing next to the animus whilst looking towards the blue door. Turn 180 degrees and you should be able to see an open doorway to the left. Head on inside for a story scene. Once the scene is done, hop up the broken stairway to the left and then again up to the next level. Continue up the next set of broken stairs for another story sequence. Afterwards, continue up the next set of broken stairs and enter the open door to the right at the top. You'll be on an upper level platform overlooking a room below. Drop down to the ground floor and look at the main structure in the centre of the room, there are square doors here. The farthest door to the left is open. Head on inside and climb up and into the hole in the wall. At the very top, head on over to the left to find the console. Insert the power source and then return to the main area. --------------------- Power Source 3 --------------------- Standing next to the animus whilst looking towards the blue door. Look to the right to see a pair of slanted supports. If you have inserted the two previous cores, you will now see a set of stairs between them. Head over here and climb the stairs. Turn right and jump across to the other side of the broken walkway. Continue up the next set of stairs and into the room at the top for a short scene. After the scene, note the glowing pillars on the far side of the room, use these to access the upper platform at the back of the room on the left. Run through the passage here and go through the door to the left. Jump down to the poles below and across to the other side of the room. Climb the shimmering wall here to the top. Turn to the right and move to the end of the platform for another story scene. Once the scene has run its course, run and jump to the glowing wall accross the gap in front. Work your way along the walls and suspended glowing pillars to the right until you reach another platform. Drop down and follow it to the end to find the final power source socket. Inser it and then return to the main room. After you have completed all of the animus sequences, Desmond and co. will automatically go and retrieve the key. When you regain control, you can walk over to the blue door and open it. Inside run across the bridge until a scene plays. Congratulations, you have completed Assassin's Creed III! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- >> Note: for finishing Desmond's story you will earn the achievement/trophy 'No Good Deed Goes Unpunished'. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- =============================================================================== Epilogue [ACT013] =============================================================================== After completing the main game and watching the credits, you will find yourself back in the Animus in control of Connor. There are two Epilogue missions that we can now undertake. Both of these consist of a scene that gives us a little idea of how the world moves on following the events of the game. Here are the locations you want to visit: 1. Epilogue: Kanatahsehton Head over to your village in Kanien:keh and speak with the man huddling in front of the fire. After a scene, you’ll unlock a fast travel point. 2. Epilogue: Evacuation Day Enter New York and make your way to the docks in the Eastern district, stand next to the indicated cart to watch the scene. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- >> Note: for watching these two scenes, you will earn the achievement/trophy 'Fin'. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- =============================================================================== =============================================================================== =============================================================================== -----------------------------------------------------------------------[SDQSTS] _ _ _ _____ | | (_) | | / ___ \ _ \ \ _ _ | | ____ ___| | | |_ _ ____ ___| |_ \ \| |/ || |/ _ |___) | |_| | | |/ _ )/___) _) _____) ) ( (_| ( (/ / \ \____| |_| ( (/ /|___ | |__ (______/|_|\____|\____) \_____)\____|\____|___/ \___) _ _ _ _ _ _ _ | || || | | | | _ | | | | | || || | ____| | | _| |_ | | _ ____ ___ _ _ ____| | _ ___ | ||_|| |/ _ | | | / ) _)| || \ / ___) _ \| | | |/ _ | || \ /___) | |___| ( ( | | | |< (| |__| | | | | | |_| | |_| ( ( | | | | |___ | \______|\_||_|_|_| \_)\___)_| |_|_| \___/ \____|\_|| |_| |_(___/ (_____| _____________________________________ | Side-quest & Optional Content Guide | |_____________________________________| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- =============================================================================== In addition to the lengthy main campaign missions, there are several types of additional side-missions to keep you occupied whilst taking a break from the main plot or during exploration once the credits have rolled. We need to liberate both of the main cities from templar influence, track down and find Captain Kidd's buried treasure, join a number of club factions and see what they offer in terms of side-missions and challenges, pimp out our homestead, liberate all of those pesky templar forts and unlock all of the underground fast-travel points in the game... And thats before we take on the miscellaneous fetch and assassination contracts! ...Thats a lot of content, so we had better get started!

To undertake these missions, you must first talk to Peg Leg near the harbormaster at the Davenport Homestead and give him the Peg Leg trinkets that can be found lying around the game world (location guide here: [CLTBPL]) Once you have handed over a sufficient amount, he will reveal a location on your naval map that you can explore to find a piece of a map. Once you have located and obtained all four pieces of the map, we'll be heading out to Oak Island to find the treasure. Without further ado, lets get into them walkthroughs! =============================================================================== Fort Wolcott [PLQST1] =============================================================================== Optional objective/s: ] ] > Perform 3 ledge assassinations. ] ] > Don't lose more than 33% health. ] ] > Perform a three kill combo streak. ] ] > Complete all optional objectives in a single ] playthrough. ] _______________________________________________] --------------------- Part 1: Infiltrate --------------------- From the start we want to climb the cliff immediately in front and continue up to the top of the adjoining tower above. Ledge assassinate the guard (1/3) standing up here. Climb up on top for a scene. You'll regain control of the door inside. Wait for the guard to walk away and then head up to the corner and continue around it to assassinate him. Hop up on the railing in front and air assassinate the guard in the room below. Continue through the open door and use the crate in the middle of the room to access the ledge above to the right. Head through the opening up here. Drop down to the room below and assassinate the two enemies patrolling around here. Climb up the crates at the back left corner of the room. Whilst hanging from the balcony, wait for the patrolling guard to walk past and then ledge assassinate him (2/3). Climb up onto the ledge and continue to the left. Walk onto the plank at the end. From here, jump across to the beam above overlooking the room. Jump again from the beam to the metal cauldron hanging in the centre of the room and then shimmy to the left, back jump to the next cauldron and if you continue to shimmy left, Connor will go and hop between the cauldrons here. Once you are on the last one, shimmy around the corner and back jump across to the beam and then across to the platform on the opposite side of the room from where we first climbed up. Hop through the window into the next building. Drop down to the ground below and locate the door. Look on the wall opposite the door and climb up the crates and up to the window ledges above. Back jump from here into the opening above the door.Walk out onto the beam and then jump across to the chandelier, shimmy around and back jump to the next one, back jump off this one onto the beam at the far end of the room. Hop out the window here into the next building. Continue through the room here and jump out the window onto the ledge opposite turn to the right and continue across the beams and supports here until you reach the platform with the guard hanging out on top. Ledge assassinate him (3/3) and then climb up and enter the door on the platform. A scene will play. You need to kill all four guards in this room. When you regain control, corner assassinate the first guy. Wait for the second guard patrolling the upper floor to turn away and follow him to assassinate him. the last two guards are standing together in the room below. Hop up on the balcony railing and double air assassinate them. Pop into the cells for a chest and a clue we can analyse for a map fragment. A cut-scene will play on pick up. --------------------- Part 2: Escape --------------------- Following the scene, kill the guard that appears. After the roof caves in, climb up the fallen walkway and then out of the newly made hole near the roof. Jump across to the next roof and continue to the left. Use the crates to hop up to the beams and continue through the attic. When it drops, hop through the window and into the adjacent building. Kill the guards in here, being sure to try for the three kill combo streak to complete the optional achievement for doing such and ensuring you don't lose more than 33% of your health. Once they are dead, continue through the open door at the back of the room and up the fallen walkway to the right. follow the set path all the way around, across a rooftop or two and continue towards the objective marker. From here, swan dive into the ocean below to complete the mission. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- >> Note: for completing this side-mission you will earn the achievement/trophy 'Bring Down the House'. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- =============================================================================== Dead Chest Island [PLQST2] =============================================================================== Optional objective/s: ] ] > Perform 3 running assassinations. ] ] > Stay within 40 metres of the target during ] the chase sequence. ] ] > Kill the target before he reaches the cave. ] ] > Complete all optional objectives in a single ] playthrough. ] _______________________________________________] --------------------- Part 1: Infiltrate --------------------- From the start of the mission climb the rocks in front and hop across to the shipwreck on the right. Continue onwards to the beach. Climb the cliff here and work your way up and around the corner to the next area. Head along the cliff and drop down onto the boat. As you do a scene will play. --------------------- Part 2: Chase --------------------- You will now have to chase the target. keep in mind during this segment that we will need to stay within 40 metres of him at all times and perform 3 running assassinations as we go if you want to complete all of the optional objectives. After the scene plays, slide down the ship and cruise over to the far end and proceed around to the right. Continue along the path until you return to an inside area, run assassinate (1/3) the guard here and duck under the debris to the left. Swing across the beams here and then across the objects in the water ahead until you reach the next shipwreck. As you arrive, run assassinate (2/3) the musketman here and continue straight ahead, sliding under the debris in front. When the passage collapses at the end, climb the wall and continue to hold forward to hop across the beams here until you reach solid ground again. Run assassinate one of the two enemies here (3/3) and continue running up the sloped path in front. At the top, hop accross to the beams and use the set path through the masts here until the one you land on snaps. Following the scene, continue climbing to the top of this mast. As you reach the top, slide down the ship deck here and as you reach the bottom the target should run below you and flash white for a moment. Hit the attack button when this occurs to air assassinate him before he enters the cave. If you failed to catch him in time, you will fail the optional objective to kill him prior to entering the cave, however we can still finish the mission.If this is the case, you will need to follow him into the cave. here you will have to fight off the target and a group of guards. Either way the end of the level plays out, once you have killed the target a scene will play indicating the mission has been completed. =============================================================================== Ghost Ship [PLQST3] =============================================================================== Optional objective/s: ] ] > Do not fall in the water at any point. ] ] > Reach the Octavius within one minute. ] ] > Complete all optional objectives in a single ] playthrough. ] _______________________________________________] --------------------- Part 1: Explore --------------------- As you start the mission, you will see the Octavius - the ship we want to investigate out in the water in the distance. To achieve the optional objectives we need to get there within one minute and without falling in the water at all. There is a fairly obvious path set out before us, so use it! Work your way across the ice flows until you reach the solid ground beneath the wrecked ship. Run up and slide under the wooden beams in front to stop the timer for the optional objective. Run and jump over to the tall ice structure in front. Climb to the top of this and hop across to the next ice structure, shimmy around to the right of this and climb your way to the top of it. From here, leap across to the fallen mast nearby and climb down this to the shipwreck of the Octavius itself. Once you are on the deck, drop down the hole here to the deck below. follow the hall to the end and climb up into the captain's cabin. Interact with the map on the table for a scene. --------------------- Part 2: Escape --------------------- Drop back down into the previous hallway and another scene will play. After the scene, duck under the wooden wall in front and Connor will drop down to a lower deck. follow the passageway around and hop onto the crates at the end of the room. As you climb up, another scene will play. When we regain control, continue straight ahead and around the corner to the left. As you reach the ladder at the end of the corridor, the floor will fall away beneath you. After connor stands up again, Jump across the gaps in front and climb the wall at the end of the room. At the top, turn around and use the handholds on the roof to make your way over to the far wall. Climb this until you can go no further and then jump backwards to the higher platform. Again hop over the gap and climb the wall at the far end of the hallway. Shimmy across to the doorframe to the right and then onto the wall on the other side of the door. Climb up and above the door we just entered from and continue up the wall towards the sunlight until a scene plays to complete the mission. =============================================================================== The Mad Doctor's Castle [PLQST4] =============================================================================== Optional objective/s: ] ] > Reach the assailant's location within 1 ] minute. ] ] > Solve the clock riddle within 1 minute. ] ] > Complete all optional objectives in a single ] playthrough. ] _______________________________________________] --------------------- Part 1: Explore --------------------- Continue to the end of the hallway and duck under the debris at the end to enter a library room. Look in the back left of the area for a fallen walkway we can run up to grab a ledge. Shimmy to the left and when you reach the corner, work your way around it before climbing up further as high as you can. Jump backwards to the chandelier and then again to the upper platform on the right. Follow the balcony to the end for a chest and then enter the door nearby. Cruise through the small room here and out the door onthe far side. Drop down from the ledge into the large room below. grab the chest from the far end, then do a 180 degree turn and slide under the debris at the opposite end of the room. In this room, we need to enter the green circle on the mini-map and investigate the clues here. You'll want to have a look at the broken display case at the back left of the room, the blood spatter in the middle and the broken vase just next to where we entered the room. After investigating the clues, a scene will play. A time limit will now become active - this is related to one of the optional objectives. We have 1 minute to reach the balcony above. Run over and climb up the stuffed bear on the right side of the room. From his head, jump to the beams on the right and hop across until you reach the balcony area opposite the target balcony. On this balcony, you will see a ramp. Climb up this and jump across to the tusks ahead and again to the chandelier. Shimmy to the right, climb to the top of the light and jump backwards to the next chandelier. Climb this all the way to the top to reach the beam above. From here jump to the beam holding the previous chandelier and from this beam jump towards the balcony to grab a metal pole Connor will use to swing up to the target location. Hop up and enter the broken diplay window and enter the room behind it, investigate the clue here before returning to the balcony. Investigate the mask to the right of the broken display case we just climbed through and a scene will play. head over to the cabinet indicated and interact with it. In the next room, climb the organ to the floor above. Work your way across the beams to the far side of the room (there is also a chest in the room below if you are interested). follow the beam into the next area, Drop into the room at the end. Enter the small, low passage to the right of the desk and interact with the wall at the far end for a scene. when we regain control of Connor, again we will have to investigate clues in the immediate area. Check out the bloodstain on the floor to the right of the clock, the clock itself and the musket just to the right of where we jumped down propped up against a pillar. Once all three have been looked at, another scene will play. We now have another timer! This time, it is for the other optional objective - to solve the clock puzzle within one minute. To do this, look in the alcove behind the clock to the right and note the display cabinet. See how all the time pieces in here have exactly the same time on them? That is the same time we need to enter on the grandfather clock. Interact with the main clock and set the time to 4:50 - the little hand just before the 'V' and the big hand on the 'X'. This will open the passage to the next area. Follow the passage all the way to the end and after the scene, drop down the hole featured in the sequence and run over to the objective marker to complete the mission. =============================================================================== Oak Island [PLQST5] =============================================================================== Optional objective/s: ] ] > Solve the puzzle within 5 minutes. ] ] > Take less than 30% damage. ] ] > Do not use ranged weapons against animals. ] ] > Complete all optional objectives in a single ] playthrough. ] _______________________________________________] --------------------- Part 1: Explore --------------------- Once you arrive on the island, walk with your buddy up to the centre of the area. You will notice four search areas surrounding the middle of the island. Once the timer starts, you are free to go. What we need to do in each search area is find a small glowing symbol that we can interact with. Once we have this sorted, we will need to align glowing lines and rings with other objects in the environment. Once you have arranged the lines in the correct locations, the game will take you out of eagle vision and you are free to travel on to the next rune. Here are the four locations we need to visit to find the runes: 1. At the top of the tree in the Southwest corner. 2. Ontop of the pile of rocks in the water at the north end. 3. At the top of the burned tree at the North-East side of the island. 4. On top of the rocky cave to the West of the burned tree. After we have aligned all of the lines, the puzzle timer will stop and a short scene will play. make your way to the centre of the island. You will be attacked by three wolves. Note that there is two optional achievments that can be achieved here. First you need to lose less than 30% health and secondly, you cannot attack the wolves with a ranged weapon. Kill them all - if you have trouble with the button prompt sequences (I sure did!), climb one of the trees nearby and air assassinate the wolves one at a time. ------------------- Alternate strategy: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Another trick here is to use mines. You can safely plant one then run to high ground when they first appear after that you need to attempt an air assasination (because this makes them all run away) before planting another one. Do not attempt to lure any of the wolves into the mines unless the are all far away unless there is only one wolf left (because if there are more than one you might get flanked) but do allow one to wander in to a mine if it happens on its. Be warned though, the mines can take away more that 30% health so you do need to stay outside the blast radius if you want to complete that optional objective. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Once the wolves are dead, examine the clue in the search area. Following the scene, shoot the explosive barrels and drop down the hole that opens up into the water at the bottom. --------------------- Part 2: Explore --------------------- Swim towards the objective marker until you reach dry land. Jump across the stalagmites here to the opposite wall and climb it all the way to the top. Once you are up, shimmy to the left until you can climb up onto a ledge. From here jump forward and use the handholds on the roof to continue along the passage until you reach the far wall. Climb this and jump backwards to the nearby platform. Follow the set path here to the end and slide under the low wall on the far platform. Once inside, use the broken wooden rope ladder to climb up a short ways and then jump across to the left until you reach another rope ladder. Climb this to the top and pull yourself up onto the platform above. Continue along the path here and interact with the glowing crystal in your path for a short scene. Afterwards, we need to escape in a hurry. Exit down the nearby tunnel and work your way towards the objective marker until a cut-scene plays to end the mission. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- >> Note: For completing this mission you will earn the achievement/trophy 'Kidd Gloves'. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- =============================================================================== =============================================================================== Naval Side-Missions [NVQSTS] =============================================================================== =============================================================================== These naval side missions can be undertaken from the naval map accessible from speaking to the Harbormaster in the Davenport Homestead. These appear as a Templar cross icon on the map. Select one of these to begin the associated mission. Before you get stuck into these missions, I would highly recommend upgrading the Aquila if you have some spare cash laying about. To do so, check out the ledger sitting on the table to the left of the Harbormaster, here you can upgrade the Aquila's guns, ammunition types and hull to make these next few missions much, much easier! When you are ready to go, lets get on with those missions... =============================================================================== The Chase [NVQST1] =============================================================================== Optional objective/s: ] ] > Don't allow the merchant ship to take more ] than 50% damage. ] ] > Take less than 50% damage from the Fort's ] mortars. ] ] > Use a mine to eliminate a gunboat. ] ] > Complete all optional objectives in a single ] playthrough. ] _______________________________________________] As we begin the mission, we will be behind the wheel of the Aquila. Look at the mini-map. We need to navigate the ship through the rocks in front until we reach the search area. When you reach the search area a short scene will play showing a vessel being attacked by British gunboats. We'll need to escort this ship and destroy the gunboats that attack along the way. These can be easily destroyed with either a broadside or the swivel guns - with the swivels, just wait for the reticule to turn red and let fly for a quick and easy kill. Note that there is an optional objective in play at this point to limit damage to the merchant ship to less than 50%. So be quick on that trigger! Escort the merchant ship through the rocks and destroy the British gunships that move in to attack (which happens fairly regularly). Be sure to keep on the watch out for rogue winds that can put you into rocks in a hurry if you get caught off guard. Continue until a scene plays. Now we know what the mines look like! Shoot the mines in front with the swivel gun to clear the path ahead. Kill the gunboat to the right and then shoot the mines in front and to the left to destroy the mines and the boat behind them should be destroyed as well (there is an optional objective to destroy a boat using a mine). continue onwards, staying away from the rocks, destroying the mines and gunboats that appear as you go until you reach the open area. Work your way over to the search area. Once the next objective has shown itself, you are going to have to destroy those mortar towers on the fort on the coast to the north. Eliminate any other enemy vessels in the immediate area before focusing on the fort. When its time to take on the fort, you will note that when the towers fire their mortars, you will see the area of effect in the water. There is an optional objective to take less than 50% damage from the tower's mortars. As such, you will want to avoid the white water. When its time to take the fort down, you will need to line up a broadside and hit the towers with it. After a few broadsides, the towers will be destroyed. This will end the mission. =============================================================================== The Rescue [NVQST2] =============================================================================== Optional objective/s: ] ] > Take less than 25% damage from rogue waves. ] ] > Destroy 2 frigates by firing on weak spots. ] ] > Don't miss whilst firing more than once. ] ] > Complete all optional objectives in a single ] playthrough. ] _______________________________________________] You'll begin this mission on the deck of the ship. Once you are good to go, climb the mast to the very top until you reach the objective marker at the top. After the scene, run up and interact with the wheel to take control of the Aquila. Our goal is the merchant ship in the distance indicated with the blue objective marker. This mission has a couple of new element for you to take into consideration during the fighting segments. The first is that because it is stormy, the waves can be quite large and as such can block your shots or can be used as cover from enemy attacks. Secondly, you will also run into rogue waves. These appear as an orange line on the mini-map and will approach the ship and can cause a lot of damage unless you take cover at the appropriate time - when is that? Somone on deck will yell "rouge wave!" and a bell will ring. When you hear that, take cover to avoid damage. Now that that is all explained, pilot the ship through the rocks in front being aware that there will be a couple of rogue wind events. After the rocks, when you reach the open sea, you will need to avoid taking damage from a couple of rogue waves whilst continuing until you reach the merchant ship that is under attack by British ships. As you approach a scene will play. You will now need to eliminate four enemy ships. There is an optional objectives to take into consideration here - we need to be very accurate, if you miss completely with a shot twice, you will fail one of them. These first four ships are all gunboats, which means that we can one shot them by hitting their weak spots with the swivel gun. Once all four ships have been destroyed, the merchant ship will be safe and our objective marker will ask us to head off in another direction. Again, as before we have a fairly lengthy trip over there, so be sure to avoid taking damage from those rogue waves as you proceed. After a short while a pair of enemy frigates will appear. We need to destroy them, but we also need to consider our final optional objective - to destroy the pair of frigates by firing on their weak spots.To do this, you need to broadside the front of the enemy ship once or twice until you see the weak spot revealed and then hit it with the swivel gun to destroy the ship. Once both frigates are down, the mission will be complete. =============================================================================== French Involvement [NVQST3] =============================================================================== Optional objective/s: ] ] > Ensure Le Belladonna takes less than 50% ] damage. ] ] > Sink more enemies than Le Belladonna. ] ] > Kill the officer in less than 1 minute. ] ] > Complete all optional objectives in a single ] playthrough. ] _______________________________________________] We will start this mission by escorting a French ship 'Le Belladonna'. After a few moments, you will enter a bit of fog on the water...and of course a British ambush. There are a couple of optional objectives to highlight straight off the bat here - firstly we cannot let our allied ship drop below 50% health, secondly whilst protecting our mate, we also need to destroy more enemy ships than it does. First off is a group of nine gunships. Remember we can take these down easily with the swivel gun or even several at once with a well placed broadside. Our ally can also take them down quite efficiently as well, so try and use that swivel gun to maximum effect - with the right timing we even use it for those enemies in the distance. Once they are all gone, another wave of British ships will rock up. This group consists of a frigate backed up by five gunboats. As we are going for the objective to kill more enemies than Le Belladonna, try to eliminate all of those gunships as quickly as possible before focusing on the frigate. Once those are dead a third wave of ships will show up. featuring three gun boats and a couple of schooners. Again take these down and once you have done that, a scene will show. We now have to take down that man-of-war, however we cannot destroy it. Instead change your ammo type to the chain-shot and broadside the enemy ship a few times until you destroy its masts. At this point pilot the Aquila in close so that you can board the British vessel. Once you are on board a short scene will play showing the officer that you need to kill. He will run off as you approach. Note that the final optional objective is to catch and kill him within 1 minute. Hop over the crates to the right to avoid the flames and follow him around the back of the ship and along the platforms on the other side of the deck. As he runs across the next deck, pull your gun out and shoot him to make him stop and then take him out in melee combat to end the mission. =============================================================================== Biddle's Hideout [NVQST4] =============================================================================== Optional objective/s: ] ] > Destroy all of the men-of-war within 3 ] minutes. ] ] > Take out the Randolph's mast in a single ] broadside attack. ] ] > Kill only Biddle whilst boarding the ] Randolph. ] ] > Complete all optional objectives in a single ] playthrough. ] _______________________________________________] Again we'll start this mission on the deck of the ship. head over and interact with the wheel to gain control of the Aquila. Head forward between the rocks and enter the search area on the map. As you approach, the Randolph (our target ship) will appear and take off. We need to follow it through the rocky areas here until we reach the open ocean. As we move into the open water a scene will play and show us what we need to destroy - a pair of man-of-wars...At the same time AND the enemy ship. There is an objective to take down both men-of-war within three minutes, so you will need to focus on taking these down first before turning your attention to the Randolph. Note that the Randolph is marked with the golden objective marker and it needs to be taken down in the same method as the ship in the previous level - using the chain shot to destroy the mast and then boarding it - there is also an optional objective to take down the Randolph's mast with a single chain-shot broadside. Once you are on board the Randolph, climb the fallen mast in front and follow it all the way to the far end of the ship to find the Captain. As you approach a scene will play. You will now be in a one-on-one fight with Biddle. Note that attacking or countering normally will not be effective against him. instead, wait for him to attack and then use the disarm or defense break to stun him for a second, at this point hit him a few times with your sword. Rinse and repeat until a scene plays. Afterwards, you will be below decks, continue with the above tactic until he bites the dust. This will complete the mission. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- >> Note: For completing these four naval missions, you will earn the achievement/trophy 'All washed Up'. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- =============================================================================== =============================================================================== Privateer Contracts [PRVSTS] =============================================================================== =============================================================================== As with the naval missions, the privateer missions can be accessed via the Harbormaster's map at the Davenport Homestead. Unlike the naval missions, these privateer contracts are short, fairly easy and aside from one or two trickier ones, should not take too much of an effort. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Henderson in Distress [PRVS01] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Optional objective/s: ] ] > Don't allow the Henderson to lose more than ] 50% of its health. ] _______________________________________________] For this mission, you will need to defeat the enemy ships in the area whilst they try and attack a friendly ship on the area. The only optional objective in this mission revolves around preventing the allied ship from losing more than 50% of its health. There are 11 enemies in the area that we need to destroy and all of them are gun ships. The best way to get rid of gun ships in a hurry? using that swivel gun to shoot their weak spots! If you have a chance to line up 2-3 of them at once, broadsiding them is also a viable option. Either way, they should not put up too much of a challenge. Once all of the enemy vessels have been destroyed, the mission will be complete. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paving the Way [PRVS02] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Optional objective/s: ] ] > Destroy three ships by ramming them. ] _______________________________________________] To begin the mission, pilot the Aquila raound the lighthouse to the left until you reach the search area on the mini-map. As you arrive a short scene will play. You will now be attacked by a large number (10) of gunships. Note that there is an optional objective to destroy three enemy ships by ramming them. The gunships are quite weak, so you will have no problems taking the rest of them out. Once all of the enemy vessels have been destroyed, the mission will be complete. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dread of Night [PRVS03] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Optional objective/s: ] ] > Take less than 25% damage from the ] environment. ] _______________________________________________] This privateer mission has you chasing down an enemy ship through a rocky passage at night time. The first 2-3 minutes of this mission have you working your way through the rocks and cliffs, simply keep the enemy ship in sight and avoid taking damage (there is an optional objective to take less than 25% damage from the environment). Once you reach the open ocean, the bad guy will have back up. Twelve gunships will appear, so take the lot of them out and the target vessel that we followed at the start as well to complete the mission. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Troubled Waters [PRVS04] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Optional objective/s: ] ] > Don't lose more than 50% health. ] _______________________________________________] Note: This mission will only be unlocked once you have completed the previous three missions - 'Henderson in Distress', 'Paving the Way' and 'Dread of Night'. You'll start this mission out in the open ocean. Work your way towards the search area on the mini-map. As you approach, beware of rogue waves and avoid taking damage from them by taking cover at the appropriate time. When you reach the search area, three frigates will appear. Now we'll have to take these enemies down. However there are a couple of things to remember about these stormy settings: due to the weather, the waves can be quite large and as such can block your shots or can be used as cover from enemy attacks. Secondly, throughout the area you will also run into rogue waves on occasion, so be sure to take cover when you hear that warning bell! Once you have killed all three enemy boats, you will have completed the mission. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Raiding the Prospector [PRVS05] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Optional objective/s: ] ] > Sink the entire fleet within 1 minute and ] 30 seconds. ] _______________________________________________] Note: This mission will only be unlocked once you have completed the previous three missions - 'Henderson in Distress', 'Paving the Way' and 'Dread of Night'. To start this mission, you will be in open water facing off against seven enemy ships. The good news? They are all gunships, so you can quickly take them down with a combination of swivel guns and broadsiding fairly quickly. Once the British gunships are all sinking or sunk, continue towards the next objective marker. To get there you'll need to work your way through the rocks jutting out of the water until you reach the search area. A scene will play. The target ship will appear, trailed by six more British gunboats, you will also see a time appear up in the optional objectives area - you need to take down the fleet within 1 minute 30 seconds. Once you have eliminated the lot of them, the mission will be complete. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- One of a Kind [PRVS06] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Optional objective/s: ] ] > Sink a frigate during the defence. ] _______________________________________________] Note: This mission will only be unlocked once you have completed the previous three missions - 'Henderson in Distress', 'Paving the Way' and 'Dread of Night'. This mission is a little different to the rest of them, to start with you need to pilot your ship through the rocks and cliff faces until you reach a harbour. Once you arrive in the harbor you will have to survive for 4 minutes whilst defending the rivermouth against oncoming enemy ships. There are a large number of them around, but what you will really want to focus on is the frigates that show up with about 2 minutes left on the timer - you will want to take one of these down to complete the optional objective. Wind down the clock to zero and you'll complete the mission! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Blistering Dawn [PRVS07] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Optional objective/s: ] ] > Take less than 25% damage. ] _______________________________________________] A nice and easy one! Sail straight out into the open and take down the four schooners that come to attack you. Once the enemy ships are all destroyed, the mission will be completed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A Call for Help [PRVS08] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Optional objective/s: ] ] > Don't allow the Independence to lose more ] than 75% health. ] _______________________________________________] At the start of the mission, pilot the Aquila through the small gaps in the rocks until you reach the open ocean at the far end. You'll run into an allied vessel - the Independence. We'll now be able to achieve our optional objective - we need to prevent the Independence from losing more than 75% of its health. There is a large number of enemy vessels in the area that will come in to attack our ally, so try to focus fire on the ships that are closer in proximity to the independence. Continue to kill the enemies in the area util the mission is complete. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Search for the Somerset [PRVS09] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Optional objective/s: ] ] > Take less than 25% damage from the ] environment. ] _______________________________________________] The first part of this mission has you working your way through the rocks and cliffs (note there is an optional objective to take less than 25% damage from the envirnment). Once you reach the open ocean, work your way over to the search area indicated on the mini-map. once you arrive, five gunships and a frigate - the Somerset will appear out of the mist to attack you. Take them all out to complete the mission. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Sea Wolves [PRVS10] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Optional objective/s: ] ] > Complete the mission with at least four ] allies still remaining. ] _______________________________________________] Note: This mission will only be unlocked once you have completed the previous three missions - 'Blistering Dawn', 'A Call for Help' and 'Search for the Somerset'. In my opinion, this was the hardest of the twelve privateer missions in which to complete the optional objectives for full synchronisation. There is not much to say in terms of tactics in this mission as all hell breaks loose no matter what you try. There is an optional objective to eliminate the enemy ships before they can take down more than four of your allies. At the start of the mission, you will be in line behind eight allied ships. Try to get to the right hand side of the flotilla as this will give you an easier time to get a first attack on the enemy frigates that show up. There are four enemy frigates that will show up. The trick is to kill these guys as fast as possible and before they can kill your allies. Once all of the enmies have been defeated, the mission will be over. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A Midnight Engagement [PRVS11] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Optional objective/s: ] ] > Take less than 25% damage from the ] environment. ] _______________________________________________] Note: This mission will only be unlocked once you have completed the previous three missions - 'Blistering Dawn', 'A Call for Help' and 'Search for the Somerset'. This mission is very similar to the previous mission 'Dread of Night'. This privateer mission has you chasing down an enemy ship through a rocky passage at night time. The first 2-3 minutes of this mission have you working your way through the rocks and cliffs, simply keep the enemy ship in sight and avoid taking damage (there is an optional objective to take less than 25% damage from the environment). Once you reach the open ocean, the bad guy will have back up. Four gunships will appear, so take the lot of them out to complete the mission. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Giant and the Storm [PRVS12] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Optional objective/s: ] ] > Sink three ships by firing on their powder ] stores. ] _______________________________________________] Note: This mission will only be unlocked once you have completed the previous three missions - 'Blistering Dawn', 'A Call for Help' and 'Search for the Somerset'. This mission takes place in the middle of a storm, so be sure to watch out for those rogue waves and keep in mind that the huge waves will block your shots if they get between you and your targets. The mission consists of two different battles. The first battle consists of five enemy vessels consisting of gunships and schooners. After destroying all of these, the next wave will arrive. This consists of three frigates and brings up our optional objective - we need to destroy all three of these ships by firing on their powder stores. To do this we need to broadside or ram the front of the hostile boats to reveal their weak spots. At this point, hit the weak spot with the swivel cannon to destroy them. Once all three of these ships are destroyed, the mission will be complete. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- >> Note: For completing all of the privateer missions, you will earn the achievement/trophy 'Entrepreneur, not Pirate!'. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- =============================================================================== =============================================================================== Club Side-Missions [CLBQST] =============================================================================== =============================================================================== Throughout your journey, by undertaking specific tasks and meeting requirements you will be asked to join any of game's four club factions. These factions will provide you with a number of side-missions and three tiers of challenges each to enrich your Assassin's Creed III experience. This section will outline requirements for joining each club, walkthroughs for any of the club side-missions, a list of challeneges you will need to complete for each club in order to earn 100% synchronisation along with tips on how to unlock them. Here are the clubs in alphabetical order (use the codes to fast travel to your club of interest: > Boston Brawlers [CLBQBB] > Boston Brawlers Side-Missions [CLBBBM] > Boston Brawlers Challenges [CLBBBC] > The Frontiersmen [CLBQFT] > The Frontiersmen Side-Missions [CLBFTM] > The Frontiersmen Challenges [CLBFTC] > The Hunting Society [CLBQHS] > The Hunting Society Side-Missions [CLBHSM] > The Hunting Society Challenges [CLBHSC] > Animal Locations Guide [CLBHSL] > The Thief's Club [CLBQTG] > The Thief's Club Challenges [CLBTGC] =============================================================================== Boston Brawlers Club [CLBQBB] =============================================================================== =============================================================================== Boston Brawler Side-Missions [CLBBBM] =============================================================================== The side-missions for the Boston Brawlers are short, relatively easy and probably won;t cause you too much grief. The missions require that you track down all of the old Boston Brawler tournament Champions and best them in hand-to-hand combat. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Part 1: Peter Bunyon: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You'll find Peter Bunyon in the North-eastern part of the Troy's Wood hunting region. Approach him and hit interact to begin the fight. To beat him, dispose of his three buddies and then focus on him. To finish quickly, simply counter attack him when he attacks you and throw in a couple of melee attacks when he stumbles. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Part 2: The Sailor: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You'll find The Sailor in New York on a boat docked just to the south of Fort Washington. Approach him and hit interact to begin the fight. The Sailor is essentially the same as Peter Bunyan. To beat him, dispose of his three mates and then turn your attention to the Sailor. To finish him off quickly, simply counter attack him when he attacks you and throw in a couple of melee attacks when he stumbles. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Part 3: The Smuggler: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You'll find The smuggler in Boston in an open area on the western side of South Boston. Approach him and hit interact to begin the fight. The Smuggler is actually a pair of guys. Again, both of these guys are essentially carbon copies of the Sailor and Peter Bunyan. As with the previous fights, dispose of their entourage and then focus on them. To finish quickly, counter attack as they attack you and throw in a couple of melee attacks when they stumble. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Part 4: The Stinger: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You'll find The Stinger in the central-eastern part of the Diamond Basin hunting region. Approach him and hit interact to begin the fight. The Stinger is a little different from the previous enemies, as he will be able to counter attack you on a counter attack, ruling that move out. Instead, you will need to counter and then hit the break defense button. Follow this up with a few additional melee attacks. repeat until he goes down. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Part 5: The Ropebeater: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Ropebeater hangs out in one of the ship building workshops in Boston. Approach him and hit interact to begin the fight. The Ropebeater is a little tricker than the previous fights as you will be unable to hit him at all unless you use environmental elements. To beat him down, you will need to counter him near one of the barrels scattered around the room and then throw him into them. After 4-5 barrels, the Ropebeater will be defeated. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Part 6: The Merchant: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Merchant is located in North New York just to the south of Fort Division. Approach him and hit interact to begin the fight. The Merchant, like the Ropebeater is a little different from the rest of the enemies we've been beating up before. The only way I could find to damage him was to counter and then throw him into the fence and then whilst he is standing up, get a few melee attacks in on him. Repeat this process until you whittle his health away. ------------------- Alternate strategy: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Merchant is susceptible to getting his defense broken. Use defense breaker attacks and link them into a regular combo to easily take him out. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Part 7: The Tournament: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- After the first 6 fights, you'll need to return to Boston and to the brewery. For some reason in my game, the objective marker for the Brewery did not show up. It is located in south-eastern corner of Boston's North District in the courtyard of the building closest to the docks. Approach him and hit interact to begin the tournament. > Fight 1: The Redcoat - This guy is fairly easy as he'll be susceptible to all of the counter-attacking options at your disposal. Once you get him down to half health, a scene will play. When you regain control, he will now have full health again and a sword. Disarm him and then continue to press the attack until he goes down. > Fight 2: The Docker - After taking all of the Docker's goons out. Counter attack him until he falls over. > Fight 3: The Surgeon - This fight will be a little different to the previous ones, the Surgeon will poison Connor, causing the screen to be a little fuzzy and out of focus. Other than that, the fight plays out essentially the same as the previous one. After eliminating his friends, take him out. > Fight 4: The Huntress - Kill all of the Huntress's minions and then you can focus on the Huntress herself. She is susceptible to counter defense breaks and throws. During random points during the fight a second Huntress will apppear and tackle you. This will reset the health bar. This will happen a few times, so just keep pressing the attack until you knock her out. For finishing off the Huntress, Connor will be crowned champion of the Boston Brawlers and with that, the side-mission draws to a close. That can mean only one thing, its time to go and complete all of those Boston Brawler challenges! =============================================================================== Boston Brawler Challenges [CLBBBC] =============================================================================== Once you have joined the club, you will be able to undertake these challenges.

These side-missions can be picked up from several locations in the Frontier and Boston and are indicated on the map as a symbol with a white triangle that has a black tip. You can undertake each of these side-quests by approaching either the campfires in the Frontier or by chatting with the indicated contacts in specific taverns in Boston. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission 1: The Boy who Cried Wolf: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- After picking up the quest, look at the map. You'll find the quest marker just to the East of the river in the centre of the Diamond Basin hunting area. When you reach the marker you will find a Frontiersmen's camp. Explore the camp site for clues. Kill the wolf that attacks you to complete the mission. Return to the Frontiersmen's campfire or tavern to pick up the next quest. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission 2: Finding the Sasquatch: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- After picking up the quest, look at the map. You'll find the quest marker in the very north-western corner of the Frontier map in the Black creek hunting area. When you arrive at the marker, you'll be in an area with a waterfall.

Return to the Frontiersmen's campfire or tavern to pick up the next quest. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission 3: The Haunted Lighthouse: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- After picking up the quest, look at the map. You'll find the quest marker on the peninsula in the very north-eastern corner of the Great Piece Hills hunting region. When you arrive at the destination, examine the clues in the nearby area and by that, I mean climb up the lighthouse and examine the scarecrow on the top deck to complete the mission. Return to the Frontiersmen's campfire or tavern to pick up the next quest. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission 4: The Headless Horseman: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- After picking up the quest, look at the map.

Afterwards, chat with the old woman by the grave and then head over to the green highlighted search area to the west of the map. Examine the diving gear here to complete the mission. With all six of these missions complete, we have finished off all of the Frontiersmen's side-missions, all that is left to do is to complete the Frontiersmen's challenges. =============================================================================== Frontiersmen Challenges [CLBFTC] =============================================================================== After picking up the initial Frontiersmen side-mission 'The Boy Who Cried Wolf' you will be able to undertake these challenges. Note that they are retrospective as well, so if you have completed some of them prior to joining the club, you will find that once you do join, they have already been completed.

For completing all of these challenges, you will recieve the second tier of challenges to try your hand at. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Challenges Set 2: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Dive into the water from a height of 50 meters -------------------------------------------------- - No doubt there are several places to do this one. The easiest and quickest place I found to do it is in the John's Town hunting region. Fast travel to the Frontier entrance to the Davenport Homestead and continue straight along the path to the west for a minute or two until you reach some buildings. Look along the cliffs to the east of these buildings to find a rocky outcrop with a fallen tree hanging over it. Jump from the end of this into the water below to complete the challenge. ----------------------- > Complete an Almanac ----------------------- - To complete an almanac, we need to recover four almanac pages.

Chat with him here. If it does not unlock here, return to sequence 9, part 1 and continue to talk to him until it becomes complete. Again, for completing all of these challenges, you will recieve the next (and final) tier of challenges to try your hand at. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Challenges Set 3: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Reveal 100% of Boston's Map ------------------------------- - Self-explanatory, use the viewpoints to uncover the map and then explore any uncovered areas to reveal them on your map. --------------------------------- > Reveal 100% of New York's Map --------------------------------- - Self-explanatory, use the viewpoints to uncover the map and then explore any uncovered areas to reveal them on your map. --------------------------------- > Reveal the whole Frontier Map --------------------------------- - Self-explanatory, use the viewpoints to uncover the map and then explore any uncovered areas to reveal them on your map. ---------------------------- > Reach all the Viewpoints ---------------------------- - Viewpoints are marked as an eagle icon on the map.

Note that some liberation contact markers replace the tavern dice icon in some places. =============================================================================== The Hunting Society [CLBQHS] =============================================================================== Once you have completed the story mission in sequence 4 – Hunting Lessons, you will be able to track, trap, hunt, kill and skin animals. You will see many of these animals wandering around as you explore the frontier and by killing and skinning them you will obtain furs and other animal products that can be sold to earn a little money. Once you have killed and skinned a few animals you will be invited to join the Hunters Society. There are a number of Hunter’s Society side-missions and challenges to engage in. =============================================================================== The Hunting Society side-Missions [CLBHSM] =============================================================================== To begin the Hunter’s Society side-missions you must first locate one of the hunting lodges hidden away in the frontier. Although the game indicates plural when it talks about the lodges, I was only able to find one. It is found in a fairly remote location in Black Creek. Update, another has been located in troy's Wood! Here is where you can find them: > Black Creek – Look at your hunting map. This lodge is located at the Eastern end of the Black Creek hunting region, close to where the Kanien:keh, Diamond Basin and Black Creek boundaries meet. > Troy's wood - Walk directly north from Fort St Mathieu in the Scotch plains until you reach a river. Swim to the other side and check out the easternmost building here. it is the hunter's lodge. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission 1: The Man-eater: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You will find this bear on the south part of the western side of the Packanack region. Here you will find a green circle. Enter this and examine the clues, once you find a clue, the search area will narrow. Once you have examined the third clue, you will have located a cave. Make your way through the cave and you’ll see a couple of dead bodies. When you reach the large room with the bushes on the right, an indicator will appear here. Backtrack down towards the exit and pick up the body here, carry it back to the main room ad drop it where indicated. Hide in the bush nearby until the bear enters the room. Exit the bush and kill the bear. You’ll need to undertake seven button prompts as they appear on the screen, as opposed to the normal four when taking down a bear. When its dead, skin it and return to the hunting lodge. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission 2: Feline Feet: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You will find this bobcat in the northern part of the Black Creek region, just to the north-west of Fort Duquesne. Here you will find a green circle. Enter this and examine the clues, once you have examined the clue, the bobcat will appear behind you and run off. You can either chase after him and become incredibly frustrated with being unable to catch him or alternatively, you can hit him with a ranged weapon as soon as he appears to take him out. Note that if you use poison darts, you will kill him without damaging his pelt. When its dead, skin it and return to the hunting lodge. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission 3: The Patriarch: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You will find this deer buck in the south-eastern part of the Kanien:keh region. Here you will find a green circle. Enter this and examine the clues, once you have examined the clue, you will need to enter eagle vision to find the golden deer. This is your target. In my game, I found the deer patrolling back and forward along a dirt path below a rocky outcropping. To kill the deer, I waited for it on the rocks above the path and air assassinated it as it walked by. When its dead, skin it and return to the hunting lodge. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission 4: The Pack Leader: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You will find the alpha wolf in the southern part of the Black Creek hunting region, directly to the south of Fort Duquesne. Here you will find a green circle. Enter this and a pack of wolves will appear. In order to find the boss, kill three of the wolves in the area. This will lure out the alpha wolf. Track down the black wolf marked with the red objective marker and kill him. When its dead, skin it and return to the hunting lodge. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission 5: Acute Cat: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You will find this deer buck in the Eastern part of the Kanien:keh region,just to the East of the village. Work your way to the top of the cliffs overlooking the river here. Work your way along the paths until you reach the objective marker. Here you will find a green circle. Enter the green circle and you will find the target cougar. Kill him during the subsequent QTE. When its dead, skin it and return to the hunting lodge. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission 6: The Elk Bachelor: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You will find this Elk at the south-eastern end of the large lake in the Valley Forge hunting region. Here you will find a green circle. Enter the circle area and activate eagle vision to identify the golden target. Approach it and kill the elk. When its dead, skin it and you are all done! Now all that is left to 100% the Hunter's Society is to complete the challenges for the club. These can be tracked from the logbook in the map menu. =============================================================================== The Hunting Society Challenges [CLBHSC] =============================================================================== Note that these challenges are retrospective as well, so if you have completed some of the requirements prior to joining the club, you will find that once you do join, they have already been completed.

In Assassin's Creed III, rather than restoring districts, we will be improving and expanding upon Davenport Homestead, transforming it from a lonely hermit's hideout to a bustling little village. To do this we need to undertake a series of quests to lure various characters throughout the gameworld to the Homestead and then assisting them to settle in the area. In total there are 36 side-quests to complete before the Homestead reaches its optimal level. You will be able to undertake these missions once you have completed Sequence 5 D 'River Rescue and will be prompted to begin then and there. I have listed the quests below in the order that I completed them in. Note that at several points there are multiple quest options available at any one time, if you choose to do them in a different order, just jump ahead to the guide for the specific mission. Let's get started! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission 1: Godfrey and Terry - River Rescue [HMQS01] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This mission will be completed as part of the main campaign's storyline. For a walkthrough please check out the guide here: [ACT05D]. As a result, Godfrey, Terry and their wives will join the community. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission 2: Achilles - Training Begins [HMQS02] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- After rescuing Terry from the river during the River Rescue sequence, Achilles will call you into his office and show you the ledger. From here he will give you a brief tutorial on the economy. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission 3: Lance - Whittler's Weapons [HMQS03] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Following on from the previous missions, look at your map to see a Homestead mission marker on the Southern end of the area. As you approach you will see a man hanging from a cliff with a bunch of guards above. Quickly run in and dispatch all the guards before pulling the man up from the cliff. After a short scene the mission will be completed. As a result of this mission, Lance will join the community. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- >>Note: As Lance joins the community you will earn the achievement/trophy 'House party'. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission 4: Myriam - Silent Hunter [HMQS04] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This mission becomes available once you start sequence 6. Whilst you are at the Homestead, you will notice a Homestead quest marker nearby. Head over here to find an injured woman. Pick her up and bring her to Achilles. After a short scene, we'll have to head out to an objective marker and kill th poachers. The game also hands you a few rope darts and gives you a brief tutorial on how to use them. Essentially you can shoot them with a rope dart and hold the ranged weapon button to choke them out or alternatively you can shoot them with a rope dart and then jump out of the tree to hang them. As such climb up into a tree branch overlooking the targets and use the rope darts on the first two guys before running over and finishing off the last guy. This will cause another two poachers to appear, so finish them off however you like to complete the mission. As a result, Myriam will join the community. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission 5: Godfrey and Terry - Burglar on the Homestead [HMQS05] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Head over to the Homestead quest marker to begin the mission.

Head over to this and undertake a mini-game to separate the two brawling friends. Once the fight is over, go and talk to both of them for a short scene each to complete this short side-mission. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission 7: Warren and Prudence - Abused [HMQS07] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is the first Homestead mission that will occur off the property of the Davenport Homestead. It is actually in the Monmouth hunting region in the front er. As such, if you have unlocked the harbormaster fast-travel point in Monmouth, fast travel there, if not you've got a bit of a hike ahead of you! Once you reach Monmouth, head over to the Homestead quest marker and kill the guards harrassing the farmer. Once they are dead, the quest will be complete. As a result of this mission, Warren and Prudence will join the community. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission 8: Warren and Prudence - Prudence's Primrose [HMQS08] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- After recruiting Warren and Prudence, return to the homestead and approach the objective marker to begin the next mission. Once it begins, head for the gree circle marking the search area. As with the missions we've had like this previously, we need to find clues and investigate them in order to narrow down our search area. Once we have found enough clues, we will find Prudence being attacked by a bear kill the bear using the on-screen button prompts to complete the mission. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission 9: Norris - The Brawler [HMQS09] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This mission is similar to the 'Abused' mission above except this time, it is set in Boston, so fast travel there and make your way to the Homestead mission marker to find a man being attacked by guards.

This mission is super easy if you have money as all you need to do is pay them 1000 pounds to complete it! If you don;t have the money on you, go and hunt down a couple of chests, send your assassins on another mission, or sell some of your hunted animal products in a general store. Once you have the money, hand it over to complete the mission. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission 12: Achilles - Manor Mysteries (Part 1) [HMQS12] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Approach Achilles in the manor and he will ask you to retrieve the contents of a chest from a nearby cave. To do so, stop by to meet Norris and escort him to the point of interest. Once the cave entrance has been unsealed, head inside and follow the objective marker all the way to the back of the cave. unlock the chest here to acquire the item. Unfortunately, unlocking the chest also causes the cave to begin collapsing. Jump up and shimmy across the room before backtracking through the cave avoiding the fallen rock and continuing until you escape. return to Achilles and give him the chest's contents to complete the mission. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission 13: Norris - Norris Goes Courting [HMQS13] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Make your way over to the Homestead mission marker and speak to Norris.

After the conversation, work your way to the northern part of the map where Myriam's shack is located. You will notice that there is a green search area around it at the moment. You should also note Myriam wandering about the area. We need to go and investigate a clue just outside of her front door, but if she spots us, the mission will desynchronise so be sure to stay out of sight or leave the area before the timer counts all the way down. Stay in the bushes until she has her back turned to you and when its safe to do so run over and inspect the clue. Return to Norris to complete the mission. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission 18: Norris - Raw Materials [HMQS18] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Finally!

He will head inside the cave 3 times to do a bit of blasting and each time he does, a patrol of redcoats will come to investigate and attack you on site. Make sure to defend Norris and once you have successfully repelled the third wave, a short conversation will play and the mission will be over. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission 19: Ellen - Cutting Ties [HMQS19] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you arrive back at the homestead, you'll notice that there are no new Homestead missions available at the moment. That can mean only one thing - a road trip is in order. Fast travel to New York and you will see that there is a Homestead mission marker here. Speak to the woman here and she will ask you for help. Follow her for a few moments and then beat up the man attacking the woman with your fists to scare him away. After a shot scene the mission is done.

When you arrive in Boston, follow lance through the street until he reaches his shop and a scene plays.Afterwards, walk a little down the street to the objective marker and talk to the indicated target. Following the conversation, you will need to tail the target for a minute or two until you see where he stashes the tools. Be sure to stay well back though as Lance is along for the ride and is useless at the whole discretion thing thanks to his fondness for standing out in the open! Once you have found the stash and the target has left, move in and loot it to complete the mission. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission 23: Lyle White - Get Me a Doctor! [HMQS23] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Back at the Homestead, head over and talk with Prudence to begin the next side- quest. In this mission, you'll be given a time limit of three minutes and will be riding a horse. We have to ride to the far end of the homestead to pick up the doctor and bring him back to Prudence. its not that easy though as the doctor insists that we veer off course to go and pick up Warren on the way back. Even so, the time limit is quite generous and you should be home and hosed with aroud 45 seconds left on the clock. A scene will play to complete the level. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission 24: Big Dave - The Deserter [HMQS24] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As with the majority of the recruitment missions, this one involves travelling outside of the Homestead, beating up a bunch of guards that are picking on our character of interest and then watching a short scene in which he decides to join the community!

We are going to have to defend Ellen's house against a group of thugs. This is actually quite easy. Allow the other villagers to engage the bad guys and then focus your attention solely on the enemies that appear with the red objective markers above their heads - these are the hostiles that will damage the house we are trying to defend. Note that you should only use your bare hands during this fight as killing one of the thugs will result in desynchronisation. Once you have defeated enough of the bad guys, the memory will be complete. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission 28: Daily Life - The Wedding [HMQS28] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Talk with Norris again to start this mission.

Fast travel to Boston and make your way to the objective marker, the area will transform into a green search area. What we need to do is walk around the area and find the kids standing on top of the crates selling newspapers. Once we have found them, we need to bribe them to shut up. To make things a little easier, you can activate eagle vision and the children will appear as golden targets. Once you have bribed five children, we will recieve a new objective to kill or pickpocket an additional target, perform whichever you like. When you have completed that task, the mission will be done. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission 31: Big Dave - An Eye for Trouble [HMQS31] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A short one again.

There are seven forts located around the game world. You will find two in Boston, two in New York and three in the frontier. The trick is to enter the fort without being detected. Once you are inside, feel free to kill everybody and fulfil the mission objectives. Here are the locations of each of the forts and a route to enter each undetected: =============================================================================== Boston: =============================================================================== 1. Fort Hill: ------------- Location: On the waterfront along the Eastern part of Central Boston. Entry: Avoid the main gate and head around to the north-eastern corner of the fort. Here you will find a smaller entrance. Kill the guards here and head inside. Complete the objectives in the fort and raise the flag to complete the liberation. --------------------- 2. Fort Independence: --------------------- Location: Along the water on the south-Western edge of Boston's southern district. Entry: Sneak up to the fort and use the boxes at the Easternmost corner of the fort to climb up over the wall and onto the battlement. Once inside complete the objectives in the fort and raise the flag to complete the liberation. =============================================================================== New York: =============================================================================== 3. Fort Washington: ------------------- Location: In the centre of the Western waterfront of the West District of New York. Entry: Approach the Fort from the water to the North of the fort and kill the patrolling guards here stealthily and sneak in the back gate. If you are detected, continue south down the dock and climb over the wall using the crates and boxes here.Once inside, kill the captain and destroy the stores. Afterwards, raise the flag to complete the liberation mission. ----------------- 4. Fort Division: ----------------- Location: In the very North Eastern corner of the North District of New York. It is just to the East of The Eastern entrance to the Frontier. Entry: Approach the fort from the water on the South Eastern edge of the fort. You will see a hole in the wall here that you can swim through. Once inside complete the objectives in the fort and raise the flag to complete the liberation. =============================================================================== Frontier: =============================================================================== 5. Fort Monmouth: ----------------- Location: You will find Fort Monmouth in the South-West corner of the Monmouth hunting area. Entry: To enter undetected, you can approach the Fort from the water to the south, kill the patrolling guards here and then sneak into the fort via the opening at the end of the dock. Once inside, kill the captain and destroy the stores. Afterwards, raise the flag to complete the liberation mission. ----------------- 6. Fort Duquesne: ----------------- Location: You will find this fort in the centre of the Black Creek Hunting region. Entry: To enter undetected, you can use the trees to the north of the fort to enter from above and drop down inside. Once you are in, kill the commander and destroy the ammo store before raising the flag to complete the fort's liberation. ------------------- 7. Fort St-Mathieu: ------------------- Location: You will find Fort St-Mathieu in the south-western corner of the Scotch Plains Hunting region, just to the left of the entrance to New York. Entry: To enter undetected, work your way to the East of the fort until you reach the cliffs, slide down here and then use the cliff faces at the base of the fort and the tree above to climb over the wall and drop down inside the fort's walls. Once inside complete the objectives in the fort and raise the flag to complete the liberation. =============================================================================== =============================================================================== Miscellaneous Side-Quests [MSQSTS] =============================================================================== =============================================================================== In addition to the more in depth side-quests that we have spoken about so far, there are a few generic, not so interesting side-quests that we also need to complete in order to earn our 100% synchronisation. These feature assassination contracts in which we need to track down and eliminate marked targets, courier missions to drop off letters at specified loacations and delivery side-quests that ask you to acquire a series of items from around the game world and return them to the quest giver. These are all relatively straightforward and can be picked up as soon or as late as you feel like completing them. Additionally for the delivery and courier segments, you can pick them up as soon as you see them and then do them whenever you feel like it, they don't have to be completed immediately. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Assassination Contracts [MSQSAS] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To begin these missions, you will need to look for an icon on the map that looks like a set of crosshairs. Approach the men with these symbols above their heads and interact with them. Each contract giver will add four targets to your map that you will need to take down. These targets will be walking alone, by themselves and will put up little to no resistance to your hidden blade. Easy! Here is where you will find the starting points for the assassination contract missions: > Frontier's Contracts - Fast travel to the harbormaster in Monmouth. See the building to the northeast on the shoreline? Look on the opposite side of this from the water to find the quest giver. > Boston’s Contracts - You’ll find the Assassination contract just to the south-west of the southernmost harbourmaster in Boston’s North district. > New York's Contracts - You will find this guy near the lower harbormaster in South New York. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Courier Missions [MSQSCO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To undertake these missions, look for the icons that look like envelopes on the map. cruise over and talk to the men with the envelopes above their heads.After picking up the quest, you will be tasked with delivering four letters to citizens in the surrounding area. There are quest givers in the four following locations: > Frontier (Lexington) Letters > North Boston Letters > Central Boston Letters > East New York Letters ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Delivery Missions [MSQSDR] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Whilst the previous two generic side-missions were fairly benign, this one is brutal. Not only do some of the contacts sit in remote locations, meaning that they may not show up on the map and forcing you to explore the areas to find them, they also task you with acquiring items that can be quite difficult to come by if you do not know where to look. Note that some of these items will not appear in the game until quite late in the story and that aditionally, some will require doing specific side-missions most notably - the Homestead side-missions (walkthroughs can be found here: [HMQSTS]) before making an appearance. Below I have listed the locations of the various quest markers, the items they require and locations on where to find each of the specified items. You can find the Delivery mission start points in the following locations: --------- Frontier: -------------- 1. Lexington - You'll find this one in the main part of Lexington south ------------ of the general store. > Items needed - Bear Pelt(x5), Wolf Pelt(x5), Beaver Teeth(x5), Bobcat Pelt(x5), Cougar Pelt(x3). > Locations - All of these Items can be obtained through hunting. -------------- 2.

Once you have the required items, you can craft the dolls from the crafting menu under miscellaneous. --------------- 2. Boston South - Just to the west of the southernmost harbormaster in --------------- Boston. > Items needed - Raccoon Pelt(x5), Deer Pelt(x5), Beaver Pelt(x5), Fox Pelt(x3), Buttons(x2) > Locations - All of these items bar buttons can be obtained via hunting. Buttons can be crafted. =============================================================================== =============================================================================== Unlocking the Underground [UGQSTS] =============================================================================== =============================================================================== Remember those underground tunnels we could restore in order to create fast travel points in the previous few Assassin's Creed games? Well they return in Assassin's Creed III with a little bit of a difference. Both of the major cities features a maze-like collection of underground tunnels that you can explore. The goal is to navigate your way through the labyrinth, find and unlock the surface exits. Doing this will also unloack a fast travel point on your map, allowing you to move around the city much more time efficiently. General exploration tips: > You are given a torch upon entering, you can use this to light the torches on the walls so that you can see easier and this can also remind you where you have already been. > Keep an eye out above the doors for place names. Following the paths through these doors will often lead to an exit for that specified place. > You will occasionally come across special floor plates that you can interact with. Doing so will give you an indication of which direction you will need to go. > Also be aware of the arrows stuck on the walls all over the place. They will direct you towards the general location of an exit. If you see an arrow facing the ground, you can activate eagle vision to see where it is supposed to be pointing. > Occassionally you will encounter a locked gate. if this is a case, either look for a lever in the immediate area or at the high up walls in the previous room, there is usually going to be a way to climb up and over it to unlock it from the opposite side. > Each exit that you find will have to be unlocked either by playing a short rotation puzzle, picking the lock or completing a trickier text and projection puzzle. The lockpicks are simple, the rotation puzzles can be solved quite easily after a bit of experimentation, but the projector puzzles can be quite tricky. As such, I've listed the answers below. =============================================================================== Boston Underground Fast-travel [UGQSBO] =============================================================================== Throughout the underground, in addition to picklocking and rotation puzzles you will find three more tricky to solve projection puzzles that will be required to unlock some doors. To solve these puzzles, you will need to look around the room for a book containing a clue as to how to solve the puzzle. The goal is then to interact with the projector and rotate the slides until they match what is written in the text. When you read through the text, look for the sections that are in capitals - these are your points of interest.These will often state a vague reference to a direction and an object e.g 'the two-headed eagle of the East' would mean to place the eagle icon on the right. Follow the clues to solve the puzzles! if you don't feel like reading the book, here are the puzzle solutions: ----------------------------------------- 1. Crown Coffee House - Projection Puzzle ----------------------------------------- - Clue: Concerning God and Religeon. - Solution: > TOP - Globe > LEFT - Cross > RIGHT - Wheel > BOTTOM - Scales ------------------------------------ 2. South Commons - Projection Puzzle ------------------------------------ - Clue: Of the Civil Magistrate Supreme and Subordinate. - Solution: > TOP - Crown > LEFT - Feather > RIGHT - Vitruvian Man > BOTTOM - Masonic Crest ---------------------------------- 3. Boston Gate - Projection Puzzle ---------------------------------- - Clue: Of Lodges - Solution: > TOP - Masonic Crest > LEFT - Female Symbol > RIGHT - Male Symbol > BOTTOM - Scales =============================================================================== New York Underground Fast-travel [UGQSNY] =============================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- >> Note: There are 11 underground fast-travel locations in New York however, we can only unlock 10 of them by exploration. The final exit will be unlocked via story progression during sequence 12. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Throughout the underground, in addition to picklocking and rotation puzzles you will find three more tricky to solve projection puzzles that will be required to unlock some doors.

Each collecible type has its own unique uses and appearance. > Almanac Pages - Located in Boston and New York only. - Appear as moving pages in the wind, you need to chase and grab them. Collecting these will allow you to build Ben Franklin's inventions at the Homestead. These are required to be built for 100% synchronisation. - Locations guide here: [CLTBAL]. > Eagle Feathers - Located in the Frontier only. - Appear as shining feathers usually found in bird's nests in the frontier. 90% of them are in trees but some are in more interesting locations such as caves. Collecting all of these will unlock a new costume for Connor. These are requirement for 100% synchronisation. - Locations guide here: [CLTBFE]. > PegLeg Trinkets- Located in Davenport Homestead, Boston, New York and the Frontier. - Appear as small chests that can be opened. Collecting these will unlock a side-quest chain involving Peg Leg. This chain unlocks additional naval locations we can visit from the Harbormaster's map after handing in found trinkets to Peg Leg. Completing these missions is a requisite for 100% synchronisation. - Locations guide here: [CLTBPL]. > Templar Chests - Located in Boston, New York and the Frontier. - Appear as openable chests, often requiring Connor to pick the lock and most of the time guarded by bad guys. These contain reagents and money and finding all of them is a requirement to complete 100% synchronisation. - Locations guide here: [CLTBGH]. =============================================================================== Almanac Page Locations [CLTBAL] =============================================================================== Almanac pages are a type of collectible in Assassin's Creed III that are reminiscent of the renegade orbs in crackdown 2. If you haven't played that, well the gist of these pages is that they will not sit in one spot, but instead will force you to chase them down and catch them, usually across some difficult to traverse terrain and forcing you to use all of your free running prowess in the process! The almanac pages can be used at the homestead to create inventions required to complete the game at 100% synchronisation, so if you want to complete the game in its entirety, you are going to have to track these bad boys down. There are 36 almanac pages in total and they can be found in the two major cities with 20 being available for pick up in Boston and a further 16 scattered around New York. Note that these will appear on your map after using view points, if you come into close proximity to one or by purchasing a map with all their locations from one of the general stores.

They will enable players to unlock and utilise cheats such as invinciblity and infinite ammo from the options menu once aquried. After the game has run its course, you will find yourself back in the Animus as Connor. After finding your first pivot (they look kind of like oragami cranes) you will recieve a brief tutorial on what they are and how they work. Unfortunately, this tutorial is short, confusing and really does not explain them very well. So I'll give it a go for you! > The brief in-game tutorial will earn you three pivots and with these, we can find additional pivots hidden throughout the world. > To find pivots, we must first three of place pivots that we have already found into the environment. The idea is to place these in a triangular shape which will detect any pivots within that area. > Note that when placing pivots (you must go into the menu to do this),Connor will have to move to the exact locations where you want to drop the pivot, so be prepared for a bit of running! > You can retrieve pivots via the map menu. > You MUST be playing online for additional pivots to appear. > It is impossible to write a location guide for the pivots as their location will be different for everybody. This is because the pivots that appear in your game are actually being placed by another player somewhere else in the world who is also online and is looking for pivots in their game. > There is a pivot option in the map menu that will show you the pivots you own and the genral map location of additional, undiscovered pivots. > One pivot will spawn every 15 minutes and will stay in its location until you find it. > There are 10 hacks, or cheats in the game, so finding 10 pivots will allow you to unlock all of these. The list is below. The cheats available once you have unlocked all 10 pivots: Infinite Ammunition – Infinite ammunition for pistols and bow Killing Spree – Enemies can be assassinated even while player is not in stealth Made of Steel – Invincibility Ninja – Enemies completely ignore you no matter what Recruit – Obtain infinite recruit tokens Season Changer – Player can switch seasons between summer and winter Semi-Automatic – Ranged weapons have no reload time between each shot Sun and Moon – Player can switch between day or night Thunder Kill – Thunder and lightning follows every kill in the game Weather Man – Change the weather condition ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- >> Note: In addition to unlocking cheats to be used in game, finding all 10 Aminus Pivots will unlock the achievement/trophy 'Head in the Cloud'. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- =============================================================================== =============================================================================== =============================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *********************** ************************* *** EASTER EGGS *** [ESTRGG] ************************* ********************** ------------------- The Assassin Turkey ------------------- Go to the Homestead and stand at the corner of the main house closest to the stables.

There have been three pieces of narrative-driven content released for Assassin's Creed III to date and you can find walkthroughs for each of them below. As there is a fair bit of content below, use these shortcuts to get to the walkthrough you want as quick as possible: > The Tyranny of King Washington > Part 1: The Infamy ........................

Unlike the main campaign, it features an alternate history in which George Washington becomes evil! The Infamy takes place entirely in the Frontier zone and features an additional 6 campaign missions, 3 Lucid memory Artefacts (Collectibles) and several side-missions to encourage exploration and adventure! As with my campaign walkthrough, the guide below will take you through each mission, completing all of the optional objectives required for 100% synchronisation. Lets get into it!

At the top you will have to kill several bluecoats who are harassing a woman. You need to climb up and engage them quickly though, or her health bar will deplete and you’ll have to start over. Once the fight begins, your partner will also earn themselves a health bar, so ensure that you keep an eye on this whilst you take out the aggressors. Once all of the bluecoats have been taken down, a scene will play. After the scene, follow your friend until you reach a cliff overlooking Concord. A scene will play. --------------------- Part 2: Attack --------------------- At this point, we are able to attempt the first optional objective – killing five guards at the church without being detected. Note that if you are detected , the objective will be failed automatically. To begin, run to the end of the tree dangling over the edge of the cliff and dive down below. Hop over the short wall in front and head over to the far side of the graveyard. Beside the wall here is a bush that we can hide in and a guard standing just on the opposite side of the wall. Take him down from the bush (Kill 1/5). From here you’ll see two guards in front. One will remain stationary in front of the church, whilst the other will patrol from the stationary guard to a spot around the side of the church to the left. When it is safe, run over to the bush beneath the tree in front of you and slightly to the left and follow the bushes all the way to the left. Wait for the patrolling guard to come close to the bush and take him down (kill 2/5). Sneak up on the stationary guard and assassinate him (kill 3/5). Return to the left hand side of the church (where the patrolling guard headed to earlier). Take cover behind the far corner of the church so that you are able to see around the corner. Wait for the other patrolling guard here to get close and then use a corner takedown to take him out (kill 4/5). Climb to the top of the church and work your way over to the opposite side 9where the objective marker is). From the roof here, you should be able to dive into the hay cart below. Assassinate the guard nearby from the hay cart for your fifth sneaky kill (kill 5/5). With the optional objective completed, hop out of the hay cart and attack the guards guarding the objective marker. Once they are all dead, a scene will play. Mash the button indicated on screen when prompted. After the scene, follow your friend through the town, up the hill and to the top of cliff until you reach the gun batteries. Kill the two enemies indicated by the red markers (or all of them if you feel the need) and once they are dead a scene will play. --------------------- Part 3: Defend --------------------- At this point, we are able to attempt the second optional objective. We cannot let any bluecoat re-enforcements reach Concord. During this section we are going to see enemies appear in two different ways. Firstly there will be enemies running along the road from left to right; these are the enemies that need to be stopped! We cannot let any of them past the range of the cannon or you will fail the optional objective. Additionally, if more than 7 squads escape, you will fail and have to re-start this segment. Unfortunately, this is not as easy as it sounds thanks to the second type of bluecoat re-enforcement. These guys will appear either in the small fenced off area across the road or on the roof just below and to the right. They will stay in position, shoot at us continually and will ultimately kill Connor if ignored. As such, in order to keep Connor alive whilst also preventing re-enforcements from pouring into Concord, we need to use the cannon to attack on the rooftop enemies when it is clear to do so. When, the enemies are in the fenced off area, try to drop cannon balls on mutual areas so that there is an overlap of damage that will hit both groups of enemies. It sounds tricky and can be frustrating, but eventually, with enough practice you will be able to get it done. Once you have killed enough of the re-enforcements, a scene will play. Once the scene ends, follow your partner over to Lexington. Around halfway there you will come across a group of bluecoats, so be sure to finish them all off whilst keeping an eye on your partners health bar. Once they are dead continue onwards after her until you reach the destination and another story sequence plays. --------------------- Part 4: Defend --------------------- Kill the three enemies that run at you directly after the scene. At this point, we’ll now have our shot at the third and final optional task. We need to stop the runners from lighting the fuses. To do this, we need to constantly check the map and your surroundings to look for the red objective markers. We need to then quickly chase down and kill the marked enemy before he is able to light a fuse. Your best move at this point is to avoid all fighting and focus on the runners. To begin with, you will only see one objective marker at a time and it is easy enough to run over and assassinate the target, however as you progress, they will start to appear in pairs. To save time, you can use your pistol to shoot them. Once you have killed enough of them the mission will be complete. =============================================================================== =============================================================================== Warn the Village [TYRW02] =============================================================================== Optional objective/s: ] ] No optional objectives in this mission. ] _______________________________________________] --------------------- Part 1: Escort --------------------- This mission leads off directly after the previous one, so do as the game says and go hop on a horse. Follow your friend as she goes for a minute or so until you lose the horse. Kill the enemies that appear to ambush you, whilst being sure to keep an eye on your friend’s health bar. Once they have all fallen, a scene will play. Afterwards, hop on the horse in front and follow your friend again until you reach the village. As you approach, another story scene will play. Once the scene is done follow your partner up and around the nearby house until some more story sequence action unfolds. At this point you will receive your hidden blades back, and an achievement/trophy. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- >> Note: For acquiring the hidden blades, you will earn the achievement/trophy 'Uniquely Familiar'. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- After a conversation, return outside and kill any bluecoats that you see. Once you have killed a good number, another scene will play. --------------------- Part 2: Attack --------------------- This section is pretty much unwinnable. Simply continue to approach the target and getting knocked back until a scene plays to complete the mission. =============================================================================== =============================================================================== Sky World Journey [TYRW03] =============================================================================== Optional objective/s: ] ] > Do not touch any rocks during sliding ] sequences. ] ] > Kill the elk without alerting it. ] _______________________________________________] --------------------- Part 1: Follow --------------------- When you regain control of Connor you will see a group of three ghostly wolves in front of you. They will run off and you will need to chase them. Just follow any one of the wolves for around 30 – 40 seconds and eventually it will disappear. If you continue running past this point, you will find yourself sliding down the first of several slopes. There is an optional objective at this point to avoid the rocky obstacles sticking out of the slope below. Do so and when you reach solid ground again, follow the wolves once more until the screen starts pulsating and you hear a heartbeat type sound. You need to walk towards the heartbeat. Follow the pulsating screen until you see an elk. Approach it and chase after it. Jump through the tree tops until you see the wolves down below. Hop down to join them… And the floor will fall away leaving you on another slope. Once again avoid hitting the rocks as you go down. When you reach the bottom, it’s again a matter of following the heart beat and the wolves again. This part can be quite confusing and is difficult to describe with any great detail. Just find the wolves and you will need to work your way over a few rocks and trees. Eventually you will reach the elk. Once again run at it until the ground falls away. This is the final slide for the mission and the longest. Remember to avoid all those rocks as you descend. If you are successful you will complete the optional objective upon arriving at the bottom. Again follow the wolves and the heartbeat until you find the elk. At this point it will run off and a scene will play. You now have a new ability – Wolf’s Cloak. Whilst active it drains your health slowly however it allows you to turn invisible and move at a pretty good pace. Using the hidden blade will allow you to kill multiple enemies whilst maintaining invisibility. However if you run, or attack with a regular weapon the wolf’s Cloak will break and you will return to normal. --------------------- Part 2: Assassinate --------------------- It’s time to try it out. You will see the elk in front of you and you have the optional objective of killing it without it detecting you. As such activate the cloak, run up to it whilst invisible and attack it. This will complete the optional task and the mission. =============================================================================== =============================================================================== One-Man Wolf Pack [TYRW04] =============================================================================== Optional objective/s: ] ] > Kill 2 Bluecoats with a single arrow. ] ] > Kill the runner by calling the Wolf Pack. ] _______________________________________________] --------------------- Part 1: Investigate --------------------- From the start of the mission, follow your buddy forward until you reach the green circle on the mini-map marking an area for investigation. We now need to find a series of clues around the area to continue. You will find them in the following locations: 1. The first clue is the body propped up against the tree in the middle of the frozen lake area (look for the water on the mini-map). 2. The second clue is the remnants of a camp fire to the north of the first clue. 3. The third clue is a broken bow along the road to the north east where the smaller road forks off. 4. The fourth clue is a body beneath a cart on wheels further along the small road to the north. After examining the fourth clue a scene will play. --------------------- Part 2: Rescue --------------------- An objective marker will appear in the distance. Note that we are now able to complete the optional objective to kill two bluecoats with one arrow at this point. To do this, run up the road and you will see a pair of bluecoats ahead. Equip the bow and run up behind them. When you are fairly close, pull an arrow back and hold it. Move to the side to ensure the enemies are lined up and let the arrow fly to kill them both at once. Continue along the road and as you approach the marker a scene will play. Following the cut-scene you will be prompted to summon the wolf pack. Do so to kill the guards here and trigger yet another scene. As soon as this conversation ends, the guy we were talking with will run off. There is an optional objective to kill the runner with the wolf pack. As such, hit the wolf pack button to have one of your ghostly allies chase him down and kill him. A golden objective marker will appear and we need to run over to this. As you approach you will see a red restricted area on the mini-map. Inside the circle is a large group of guards we need to kill. To make things super easy, get into Wolf’s Cloak mode and use your hidden blade to assassinate them all in a matter of seconds. Alternatively you can charge in and take part in the traditional combat as well. Once all of the bluecoats are dead or dying head over to the objective marker and interact with the man here for a scene. =============================================================================== =============================================================================== Path of Revenge [TYRW05] =============================================================================== Optional objective/s: ] ] > Use no staking bushes during the eavesdrop ] sequence. ] _______________________________________________] --------------------- Part 1: Eavesdrop --------------------- After beginning the mission make your way over towards the golden objective marker in the distance. Whilst you head over there, watch out for wolves in the environment and be prepared to hit the button prompts as necessary as you are likely to be attacked at least once on the way. As you approach the area of interest if you look at the map you will see a large red restricted area ahead. After touching the marker, another will appear near the building ahead and slightly to the left. We need to make our way over to this area. Hop over the fence to the left and run to the far end of the field. When you are out of range of the enemies line of sight, change direction and run towards the building with the objective marker next to it. As you reach the building, stick on Wolf’s Cloak and duck through the hole in the wall. Exit the door to the right and immediately hop into the hay bale on the left. The objective marker refers to a pair of bluecoats that we need to eavesdrop on and they will walk off as soon as you arrive. Note that there is an optional objective here to not use any of the bushes whilst eavesdropping. As such, do not touch any of the bushes during the next sequence at all! Fortunately the wells and hay bales are okay though so we will be using those to regenerate our health between bouts of Wolf’s cloak. As they walk off, hop out of the hay with Wolf’s Cloak on and follow them as they walk between the set of bushes in front. As soon as you are past the bushes, run past the bluecoats and hop into the hay cart against the wall to the left until your health regenerates. As the soldiers move on again enter Wolf’s cloak and pop out of the cart. Run over and jump into the nearby well. If they move out of range here simply enter Wolf’s Cloak and head over to their location. --------------------- Part 2: Attack --------------------- After a few moments, this section will be completed and a red objective marker will appear. You will also notice a countdown timer appear. You have three minutes to find and attack a convoy. Once you arrive at the convoy clear out all of the enemies guarding the wagons and a scene will play to complete the mission. =============================================================================== =============================================================================== Justice Served [TYRW06] =============================================================================== Optional objective/s: ] ] > Free the bear without killing or alerting ] any guards. ] ] > Stay undetected whilst in the fort. ] _______________________________________________] --------------------- Part 1: Infiltrate --------------------- During the introductory scene you will get a brief tutorial about guard dogs being able to disrupt your Wolf’s Cloak. Kill the dog when prompted to do so. Note that you can identify guard dogs on the map as they appear as golden dots. Run over to the bushes marked with the golden objective marker. As you hang out in here a guard dog in the distance will be alerted and come running over to investigate with a bluecoat or two. Whilst in the bush, equip your bait.Drop some of this just outside of the bush. This will distract the dog. Whilst it is eating the bait put Wolf’s Cloak on and kill the guard. Now kill the dog. Use Wolf’s Cloak to run up to the bush in front of the defences in front. Wait for the dog and guard to walk past inside the spikes back to the right. When it is safe to do so, run around the obstruction at the base of the hill below the hole in the spike wall here and stay in the bushes there. Throw some bait on the ground and kill the dog as it arrives. If it comes over with additional bluecoats in tow use Wolf Pack and Wolf’s Cloak to eliminate them all quickly and efficiently. When you are clear, Wolf’s Cloak your way up to the next bush directly in front. Next, stealth over to the bush over to the right beneath the spike wall. From here climb the hill up to the right of the upper spike wall and enter the bush behind the tents located here. We are now in a bluecoat encampment. We need to work our way over to the far side of the area where the golden objective marker is located. Exit the bush and go round the left side of the tent. Put Wolf’s Cloak on and run straight ahead until you see another bush. Hide in here to regenerate your health. Observe the buildings ahead. Run past the stack of wood in the centre of the buildings here. Stick Wolf’s Cloak on and run past it and between the two buildings behind. Keep going until you reach another bush. Sit in here. Ahead you will see a pair of guards. Enter wolf's cloak and run past them continue until you see the next bush next to some tents between two buildings on the right. From this bush, activate Eagle Vision to spot the target in front of the tent below the flagpole in the clearing ahead. Enter Wolf’s Cloak and approach. As you do, a scene will play. --------------------- Part 2: Follow --------------------- Once the scene is over, you need to follow the target through the camp. Use the bushes as cover and have Connor utilise Wolf’s Cloak to move between the bushes. As you reach the far end of the camp, the target will walk down a hill and mount a horse. Enter Wolf’s Cloak and run down the hill to the stream. He will cross. Get into the bushes here and use them as cover to get to the opposite bank. He will walk off to the right. Use Wolf’s Cloak to run between the various bushes along the bank here. He will stop at the end. Whilst in one of the bushes here, place some meat on the ground nearby to attract the nearby guard dog and when it is distracted, enter Wolf’s Cloak again and follow the target away from the stream. The target will stop again near another stream. Continue past him and into the water to sit in the bushes here. He will now take off. Run after him, entering Wolf’s Cloak whenever you need to follow him past guards. Continue to follow him until a scene plays. --------------------- Part 3: Infiltrate --------------------- When you regain control, you will be on a rocky outcrop overlooking a clearing with a large cage in front of the fort ahead. We have an optional objective to open the bear cage without alerting or killing the bluecoats guarding the cage. To do this, jump from the top of the outcrop to the tree nearby. Climb this and follow the pathway through the trees until you find yourself on the opposite side of the cage from the two guards. At this point drop down to the ground below and enter one of the bushes here. Enter Wolf’s Cloak and run around to the objective marker. Interact with this to open the cage. Once it is open quickly return to a bush to exit Wolf’s Cloak. A scene will play. The gate will now be open. Note that at this point, there is another optional objective to make your way through the fort here without being detected. Fortunately its fairly easy! Work your way over to the gate and use Wolf’s Cloak to stealth by the guards. As soon as you are within the gate, climb the hill and turn to the left. Head over and enter one of the bushes up against the wall here. From here, turn around and look for the bush on top of the wall opposite the entrance. Wolf’s cloak over to this and enter the bush. Enter Wolf’s Cloak again and follow the path opposite the entrance gate and continue up the hill, past the square, wooden structure on the left and enter the bush just in front and to the left of the two grenadiers standing guard at the top of the hill. If you activate Eagle Vision here, you will be able to see the target patrolling around in the area just behind the two grenadiers. --------------------- Part 4: Assassinate --------------------- When you are ready to go, put on the Wolf’s Cloak, approach the target and assassinate him to complete the mission and the DLC. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- >> Note: For completing this mission you will earn the achievement/trophy 'West Point Payback'. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- =============================================================================== =============================================================================== The Infamy: Side-missions [TYRWSD] =============================================================================== Just like the vanilla Assassin's Creed III experience in addition to the main campaign missions, there are several types of additional side-missions to keep you occupied whilst taking a break from the main plot or during exploration once the credits have rolled. These include civilian missions in which you find and assist random citizens hanging around throughout the Frontier and a collectible acquiring mission for Lucid Memory Artefacts to unlock an additional memory fragment. for quicker navigation, please use the shortcuts here: > Citizen Missions ..................... [TYRWCM] > Lucid Memory Artefacts ............... [TYRWLM] =============================================================================== =============================================================================== The Infamy: Citizen Missions [TYRWCM] =============================================================================== The Infamy features four types of side-missions and they can all be recieved by approaching an individual in the game world with an appropriate side-mission indicator above his head. They are all very simplistic and should not take too much time. The trouble is finding enough of these missions to reach 100% synchronisation without wasting a long time. As such I have listed each type of mission below, how to complete them and a number of locations at which you should be able to find the missions. For quicker navigation, please use the shortcuts here: > Attack the Convoys ................... [TYRWS1] > Help the Hungry ...................... [TYRWS2] > wolf Rescue .......................... [TYRWS3] =============================================================================== =============================================================================== Attack the Convoys [TYRWS1] =============================================================================== As with the main game, there are a number of convoys patrolling the frontier, attacking these and freeing the prisoners from the cages will complete each task. Convoys appear along major roads and are most common in and around the towns in the frontier – especially Concord and lexington. Note that these appear to spawn randomly and often returning to a previous convoy location after a few minutes elsewhere will see them back again. Note: You will have to attack and free 4 convoys for 100% synchronisation. Here are a couple of locations where I was able to find convoys: 1. Patrolling the road leading west out of Concord towards Valley Forge. 2. Patrolling from east to west along the main road leading through Lexington. 3. Patrolling from southwest to northeast along the road to the west of the red, restricted area in south-eastern Lexington. 4. Patrolling the eastern of the two main roads leading south from Valley Forge. =============================================================================== =============================================================================== Help the Hungry [TYRWS2] =============================================================================== You will find these missions throughout the frontier and they will appear on your map when you get close to them. To complete the mission, give the marked individual a piece of bait. As such, be sure to skin all those animals that you kill so that you have some to give! Note that as with the convoys, these tasks appear to spawn randomly and often returning to a location after a few minutes elsewhere will see them back again. Note: You will have to find and help 5 hungry citizens in order to reach 100% synchronisation. Here are a couple of locations where I was able to find the task givers: 1. In a small camp at the top of the cliff overlooking the water to the west of your starting village. 2. Inside the building with the water wheel in Concord. 3. Find the red, restricted area in Lexington. From the top of this area, run directly to the west, across the road and through the snow until you reach a farmhouse. You’ll find the target inside. 4. Take the bridge leading across the river from concord to the west. Upon reaching the far side, turn right and follow the riverbank up until you reach some houses. You will find the marked citizen here. 5. On a rocky outcrop on the island in the centre of the large lake to the southwest of Valley Forge. 6. On the northern side of the bridge, directly south of Valley Forge. 7. Near a building in the centre of Valley Forge. 8. Near a different building in the centre of Valley Forge close to the above quest giver. 9. On the riverbank to the north of Valley Forge. 10. Follow the road leading east from Fort Monmouth. When you reach the turn in the road, you should see the icon appear on your map to the south. 11. Follow the road leading south from the red. Restricted area in the very north east corner of the map. This will appear off the road to the right. =============================================================================== =============================================================================== Wolf Rescue [TYRWS3] =============================================================================== As you venture through the frontier, you will stumble upon these missions. They require you to help an NPC fight off a pack of three wolves. Whilst you will be able to kill the first one undetected, you will have to kill the next two using the button prompt quick-time events. Once all three are dead, the mission will be complete. Note that as with the convoys, these tasks appear to spawn randomly and often returning to a location after a few minutes elsewhere will see them back again. Here are some of the mission locations: 1. Follow the path directly to the south of the starting village, as you approach the first fork in the road you will see the quest. It is just north of the eastern side of the lake that is halfway between the starting village and Concord. 2. Just to the north of the main road around halfway between Concord and Lexington. 3. Take the bridge leading across the river from concord to the west. Upon reaching the far side, turn right and follow the riverbank up until you reach some houses. Climb the cliffs to the west of the buildings and continue through the snow to the west to find the citizen needing help. 4. Follow the road leading south from the red. Restricted area in the very north east corner of the map. This will appear off the road to the right. =============================================================================== =============================================================================== The Infamy: Lucid Memory Artefacts [TYRWLM] =============================================================================== The artefacts appear as different objects that may be recognisable from the main campaign that you can interact with in the environment. They can be quite difficult to spot at times. Outside of the first artefact, the other two will not appear on your map until you come into range of them. To collect the artefacts, simply approach them and hit the interact button. Here are the locations of the three artefacts: 1. Exit your village and make your way directly west. Cross the first river and run across the land until you reach the river once more. You will find this one as a black assassin’s mark drawn on the ground on the bank of the river. 2. In the burned out building that is just to the northwest of the red restricted area in Lexington. It appears as a table with a candle, a bottle and a knife. 3. In an open tent in the centre of Valley Forge. It appears as a map on a table. Memory Fragment: ________________ The memory fragment will appear once all three lucid memory artefacts have been acquired. It can be located inside a cave in the southernmost part of the eastermost part of the map. This is where the village massacre occured at the start of mission 5: Path of Revenge. Go to the back of the cave and interact with the ghostly figure here for a scene. =============================================================================== =============================================================================== =============================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- =============================================================================== The Tyranny of King Washington - Part 2: The Betrayal [TYRBTR] =============================================================================== =============================================================================== The Betrayal is the second part of a three piece DLC expansion to Assassin's Creed III entitled 'The Tyranny of King Washington'. Unlike the main campaign, it features an alternate history in which George Washington becomes evil! The Infamy takes place entirely in the Frontier zone and features an additional 9 campaign missions, 3 Lucid memory Artefacts (Collectibles) and several side-missions to encourage exploration and adventure! As with my campaign walkthrough, the guide below will take you through each mission, completing all of the optional objectives required for 100% synchronisation. Lets get into it!

After the conversation, use your wolf cloak ability to disappear. The guards will come and open the door. Knock them both out and stick them inside the cell. Leave the cell for a short scene. Following the scene, continue into the room at the end of the hallway. Grab Connor’s gear from the table in front of you and look back towards the cells. You will see a key hanging on the right hand wall just next to the door. Grab this and return to your friend’s cell. Use the key on the door. Return to the room where we grabbed the key and interact with the other door. After the scene, wait for your buddy to jump into the hay nearby and incapacitate the guard here. Once that is done, go down the stairs, past the hay and down the next set of stairs. Stick your wolf cloak on and kill the three guards in front and to the right. Killing the first will bring the other two to you, so you should have no trouble killing all three of them before the wolf cloak expires. Killing these three should satisfy our optional objective. There is another pair of guards ahead and a further three near the door on the far side of the room. You can kill them if you like, or instead climb to the top of the room and use the rafters and support beams to cross all the way without alerting anyone. When you reach the far end, climb up to the second floor. Approach the hole in the ground and target the enemies in here. Drop down to do a double assassination to make things quick. Interact with the shiny objective in the crate on the ground to complete the mission. =============================================================================== =============================================================================== Sky World Journey [TYRB02] =============================================================================== Optional objective/s: ] ] > Save all of the eggs. ] ] > Chain 3 Eagle Flights, twice. ] ] > Avoid all obstacles during the flight ] sequence. ] _______________________________________________] From the start of this mission, run over to the glowing tree in the distance and climb up to where the Eagle was sitting in the branches. As you arrive at the Eagle’s location a scene will play. --------------------- Part 1: Defend --------------------- Once the scene is over, you will be standing near the eagle, which is sitting on a nest with three eggs in it. We have a limited area in which to move around in front of the nest and we’ll need to hang out here in order to defend the nest (there is an optional objective to have no eggs destroyed). As we wait, groups of 1-2 bobcats will appear and approach. If you look outwards, with the nest at your back, the bobcats will come from one of three locations, to the left, the right and the centre. You will need to stay vigilant and kill them as they approach. To begin with, they will come one at a time, but will soon come two at once. If you are standing, they will pounce on you, allowing you to do the button-press even to kill them. If a second bobcat is also in the area and is too close to pounce, it will ignore you whilst you kill the first and go right for the egg. As such, as soon as you are done dispatching the first bobcat, quickly turn and kill the second bobcat before it reaches the nest. After dispatching a good number of bobcats a scene will play. --------------------- Part 2: Explore --------------------- You will now have a brief tutorial on how to use your new found ability - Eagle Flight. Essentially, you need to look at an object and when the eagle reticule appears, hit the range weapon button to fly over to that location. Follow the on-screen instructions and you’ll get the hang of it in no time. At some point during this sequence it will tell you to chain Eagle Flights together (we need to perform at least 2 chains of 3 Eagle Flights for an optional objective). To do this, just mash the Eagle Flight button just before you arrive at your destination so that you fly to the next Eagle Flight point rather than landing. This is incredibly useful whilst escaping from combat situations and for exploring cities at a much quicker pace later on! After you have worked your way through the trees following the eagle, you will arrive at one final stump. You will see the eagle fly straight down. As such, dive off the log to follow! --------------------- Part 3: Escape --------------------- We are now in control of a glowing blue eagle. During this next sequence you will have to move the eagle around the screen to avoid the obstacles that appear to block your progress. It should be noted that there is an optional objective to get through the sequence without taking any damage from the rocks that get in the way. This can be frustrating and annoying at first, and there’s is not really much to write about here to help you out with this optional objective. It’s just a matter of following the other eagle and letting it guide you through the obstacle course. Once you have learnt it, then it’s just down to retrying until you get the optional objective successfully completed. After the flight sequence is completed, a scene will play to end the mission. =============================================================================== =============================================================================== Dive Bomb [TYRB03] =============================================================================== Optional objective/s: ] ] > Kill all guards while remaining undetected. ] ] > Perform 3 Eagle Assassinations in the ] warehouse ] ] > Use Eagle Assassination to kill the target. ] _______________________________________________] --------------------- Part 1: Attack --------------------- Once you regain control, look up to the lip of the hole above and use Eagle Flight to climb up here. Use it again to fly over to one of the nearby stacks of crates and look down towards the door. You will see a pair of enemies attacking it. Hold down the Eagle Flight button and you will be able to target them with an Eagle Assassination. Do so. A scene will play. There are now 6 enemies wandering around on the warehouse floor. Use eagle Flight to get up onto one of the beams at the top of the room. There are two optional objectives that we can undertake at this point. The first requires killing all 5 guards without being detected and the second, killing three of them with an Eagle assassination. To do this, observe the guards and wait for them all to separate. When one is by himself, use the Eagle Assassination to kill him before flying back up to the beams again. Repeat until you have killed three of them. Then just deal with the remainders however you see fit! Alternatively, if you are having trouble getting a clear window in which to get an Eagle Assassination off, kill two of the bad guys using the wolf cloak (or other sneaky techniques e.g. corner/hay bale assassinations etc.) and when there are 3 left, use Eagle assassination to get each of them. Once they are all dead, proceed through the door at the far end of the room from where we began for a scene. --------------------- Part 2: Chase --------------------- After the short scene, you need to chase after the target marked with the red objective marker. Use Eagle flight to quickly leap from place to place in pursuit. You should get close to the target in no time! When you are in range, hold down the Eagle Flight button to target him for an assassination and let him have it. This will complete the mission. =============================================================================== =============================================================================== Consequences [TYRB04] =============================================================================== Optional objective/s: ] ] No optional objectives in this mission. ] _______________________________________________] --------------------- Part 1: Attack --------------------- This short chapter is essentially a brief mini-boss fight. We can’t kill the target normally and as this is the case, we need to use Connor’s animal powers to overcome him. To begin with, he will slam the ground which will send out a shockwave along the floor. At this time, you want to target him with an eagle assassination so that you fly over the damage and hit him a few times. Repeat twice. After he has taken enough damage, the target will summon some glowing orbs that will rotate around him whilst he attacks you with ranged attacks. At this point, we need to use the wolf cloak technique to approach him unseen and attack him. Repeat twice. Once you have dealt him sufficient damage, the floor will fall away beneath you. --------------------- Part 2: Escape --------------------- Now we need to escape apparently. This is fairly easy. Wait for the big floating heads to stop talking and then an island should appear behind them. Use Eagle Flight to reach it and continue the same process several times until a story scene plays to complete the mission. =============================================================================== =============================================================================== Return to Sender [TYRB05] =============================================================================== Optional objective/s: ] ] > Capture 2 of the opponents pieces during the ] checkers game. ] ] > Kill both Sentinels within the time limit of ] 21 seconds. ] _______________________________________________] --------------------- Part 1: Eavesdrop --------------------- From the beginning of the mission, you will need to make your way over to the golden objective marker. Use the rooftops and our newly found Eagle Flight ability to make things quick! When you reach the door indicated with the marker, you will notice that there are a large group of guards nearby. As such, get into wolf cloak mode and approach the door to get inside without a fight. Once inside, quickly make your way round to the far side of the room and interact with the man next to the checkers table to blend in. Play a game with him whilst you listen to the guards talking. Note there is an optional objective to take two of your opponents pieces during the game, so be sure to do this before the conversation finishes! --------------------- Part 2: Pickpocket --------------------- Once the guards are done talking, you will find yourself back outside. We now need to pick pocket the guard marked with the golden objective marker. Rather than doing it right away, we need to let him walk away from the other guards in the area so we are not detected. Note that he is walking down a fairly large street. Use Eagle Flight to hop up to the rooves on the right side and follow him down. He will go into an alley to the right and then another to the left. He will stop a couple of times as he goes. As he does, you need to sneak up behind him and pick his pocket. When you do a scene will play. We now need to track down the courier again and put the message back in his pocket! When you regain control of Connor, you will note that there is a green mission area on your mini-map. The courier is located in here, but unfortunately his location is not provided to us. As such we need to use Eagle vision to look for a golden person in the area. When you see him, stalk him until he is fairly isolated and then pick pocket him to put the letter back on him. All three times that I played the mission, the target was cutting laps around the main street. When you do locate him, he will cut into an alleyway. Again, you need to follow behind him using the rooftops and Eagle Flight to make things easier and wait for him to stop and stand still for a few moments. When he does stop, drop down behind him and use the pick pocket to place the letter back on his person to complete this section of the mission. --------------------- Part 3: Attack --------------------- Once the screen comes back to normal, there is a new objective marker. Work your way over to this. You will find it on top of one of the ships under construction at the boat yard. As you arrive at the marker, a short scene will play. As soon as the scene ends you will have to kill the two enemies it showed you. If you want to complete the optional task here, you will need to kill them both within 21 seconds. To do this, turn left as the scene ends and immediately use Eagle Flight to fly up to the first enemy. Kill him and hop back out the window. Jump across to the mast of one of the ships halfway between this location and the location of the second enemy. From here quickly fly up to the other enemy and dispatch him as fast as you can. When they are both dead, return back to the objective marker on top of the half-constructed boat. You’ll be treated to a scene. During the scene, hit the button prompts as they appear. Afterwards drop down to the ground and chase the target until he falls over. Approach him for another short scene. Now we can escort the target to our next objective. He will stop fairly frequently, so you just need to hit the required button to keep prodding him in the general direction he needs to go until three guards approach. As they do, use your wolf pack ability to take them out. Afterwards continue pushing your target until you reach the objective. This will complete the mission. =============================================================================== =============================================================================== Man of Mettle [TYRB06] =============================================================================== Optional objective/s: ] ] > Steal the horse undetected. ] _______________________________________________] After starting the mission, work your way over to the golden objective marker. As you approach the marked man a scene will play. We now have a new objective – steal the horse from the fort! --------------------- Part 1: Infiltrate --------------------- Make your way over to where the fort is. Now the game would have you enter the fort and use eagle vision to identify the horse in need of stealing. There is an optional objective to reach and steal the horse without being detected by bluecoats. The fort is heavily defended so this can be a little tricky. Fortunately there is an easy way to go about doing this. I would recommend approaching the fort from the waterfront, aiming for the north western corner as it appears on the map. Hang out in the bushes on the hill below the wall and when it is safe to do so, use Eagle Flight to fly up to the top of the wall. Whilst you are on the way, switch your active ability to Wolf Cloak. Once you land, activate Wolf cloak and head down the nearby stairs to enter the main courtyard. Hide in the bushes close to the base of the stairs and disable Wolf’s Cloak to regenerate your health. Whilst this is happening, activate Eagle vision to look around the courtyard for the golden horse. Luckily, every time I played, the horse was sitting in a small alcove just next to the stairs we just descended. Grab the patrolling guard from the bush, or use Wolf Cloak to avoid him and head over to the horse. De-cloak and mount up. If you have not been detected yet, you will complete the optional objective as you mount the horse. Ride it out the nearby gate for a scene. --------------------- Part 2: Chase --------------------- So stealing that horse wasn’t that easy after all. The silly thing is sprinting away and we need to track it down. As soon as you regain control, switch your active power to Eagle Flight and fly to the rooftops in front of you. Use the Eagle Flight to continue across the rooftops along the road following the horse as closely as possible. After a good 30 – 40 second high speed chase, the horse will turn down a side alley and stop. At this point drop down and mount up again to complete the mission. =============================================================================== =============================================================================== Pieces in Motion [TYRB07] =============================================================================== Optional objective/s: ] ] > Use 3 contextual attacks during the fight at ] the bar. ] ] > Remain undetected during the investigation. ] _______________________________________________] --------------------- Part 1: Blend --------------------- As with a couple of missions ago we need to head over to the tavern. From the beginning of the mission, you will need to make your way over to the golden objective marker. When you reach the door on the street indicated with the marker, you will notice that there are a large group of guards nearby. As such, get into wolf cloak mode and approach the door to get inside without a fight. Once inside, you need to blend in quickly or you will desynchronise. As such, quickly make your way to the left and interact with the man at the checkers table. We now have to play a game with the man opposite. As we play, we will have a conversation with him. After 5-6 moves each you are given the option to press a button to rage quit. Do so for a scene. --------------------- Part 2: Attack --------------------- You will now be in a bar room brawl and will have to defeat all of the bluecoats in the room. There is an optional objective at this point to use three contextual takedowns to kill enemies. To do this, we need to stand next to highlighted objects and hit the block button when an enemy attacks. A short scene will play and Connor will use the object to kill the guard. These objects include the barrels, circular tables in the centre of the room and bottles on the bar. Note that the game can be slow to highlight these objects at times, so you may have to stand as close as you can to it and wait a few seconds before Connor will actually use it. Once you have your three environmental takedowns, mop up the rest of the bluecoats. Once the enemies are all dead, loot the man you were playing checkers with and then leave the bar. If you were detected at some point, you will need to escape the area and become anonymous. Doing so will cause a scene to play. --------------------- Part 3: investigate --------------------- When we are back in control, we will have been magically whisked away to another location. We now have to investigate a heavily defended area for clues. To make things more interesting, we have an optional objective to investigate the area without being detected. Note that there are lots of guard dogs around at this time to make the situation a little tougher. As this is the case, ensure that you have your bait equipped! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Note: I was able to complete the optional objective three times using the below instructions, but each time it played out slightly differently in terms number of guards that dogs attracted. The times at which the dogs detect you also varied between attempts. I have written the walkthrough in a fairly detailed fashion to cover all three permeations that I witnessed so it should be pretty much good to use. just be prepared in case something goes awry! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ From the starting point turn left and walk down the hill until you reach the water. Follow the shore to the right and around the base of the wall until you reach the first bush. At this point, I’m going to remind you to make sure that you have the bait equipped! Follow the base of the wall and enter the next set of bushes. A dog by itself or with a patrol will come to this point to investigate shortly so plant some bait here. After planting the bait, switch your active ability to Wolf’s Cloak. When the enemies arrive, use wolf pack to take them down, depending on how many enemies the dog brings you may need to mop up survivors with Wolf’s Cloak. Be sure to kill the dog too otherwise it will run off and attract additional enemies! Once that is done, look directly across the water. At the top of the bank just to the right of the tents is a bush that we want to run over to next. Wait for the guard that patrols past the bush to go left before crossing the river and climbing to the bush (use Wolf’s Cloak just to be safe). Wait for wolf pack ability to recharge. When it is ready to use again, wait for the guard to come back, stick Wolf Cloak on and kill him silently. Moving out to kill him will have alerted another guard dog who will approach from the direction of the docked ship. Repeat the process we used earlier – plant the bait, use the wolf pack ability to kill any enemies the dog brings with it and then use Wolf Cloak to kill any survivors. Finally kill the dog. When the bad guys are clear, hop over the barrels right in front and go past the tent in front with the cannon in it and turn right. Get into the bushes here. Use this as cover and use Wolf’s Cloak to eliminate any enemies that come near you. Once you are clear, look further to the right and you should be able to see the massacre site. In the centre you will see a shiny object – our first clue. Put on Wolf’s Cloak and run over to investigate it. Upon completion, continue across the site to the next bush. From here you will be able to see a pair of guards sitting on a bench to the left and a guard sitting on the ground nodding off to sleep on the right. Between them is a bush – activate Wolf’s Cloak and run over to this and onwards to the bush directly behind it. Hold here for a moment. Look up the road nearby. There is a clue on the ground behind the dead horse. Wait in the bush until the patrolling grenadier walks past, grab him from the bush, or follow him and wolf’s Cloak assassinate him if anyone is looking your way. Occasionally, there will be a soldier or two on the road near the clue. If this is the case use Wolf’s Cloak to sneak up and kill them before investigating the clue. After the second clue, return back to the first bush we entered upon crossing the river. This time, enter Wolf’s Cloak, turn to the left and run behind the tents along the river bank until you reach the next bush. De-cloak here and you should be able to see the next objective marker on the dock to the left. Wait for the guards to patrol away and then enter Wolf’s Cloak once more and head over to the man marked with objective marker for a scene to end the mission. =============================================================================== =============================================================================== Aquila Unchained [TYRB08] =============================================================================== Optional objective/s: ] ] > Remain undetected while stealing the uniform.] ] > Use an animal power to kill a guard menacing ] Franklin. ] ] > Remain undetected whilst protecting Franklin.] _______________________________________________] --------------------- Part 1: Follow --------------------- From the start of the memory, we will need to follow the bluecoat with the golden objective marker above his head, knock him out and carry him back. Note that there is an optional objective to complete this first section of the mission undetected. To do this, switch to Eagle flight and fly up to the rooftops. Follow him down the street and through the alleyways until he makes his way into the courtyard with the church at the far end. He will climb up a set of stairs and walk up to a doorway in a corner of the courtyard opposite the church. At this point, you need to unequip all your weapons and sneak up behind him unarmed to take him out. Now pick up the body, we have to take it back to the mission start point. Return down the stairs nearby and through the alleyway in front. Keep your eye on the mini-map. The enemies appear as red dots and we’ll want to track where they are going to move through the next few streets undetected. When you reach the entrance to the alleyway, look around the corner to the left and wait for the guard to walk away. Head down the street to the right and turn left at the first corner when there are no guards ahead. There is a pair of guards down the next alley to the right. They will spot you if you run past, so peek around the corner and summon your Wolf Pack to take them out. Run up to the building at the end of the road and turn right. Climb the short set of stairs here and run up to the door marked with the objective marker. --------------------- Part 2: Escort --------------------- We will now have to escort our buddy through the streets until he reaches the docks. At several points during the section he will be stopped by bluecoats.We need to take them out if they threaten to attack him. There are two optional objectives to undertake at this point in time. We need to escort our ally to the end without being detected and we also need to take out one of the guards that stop him with an animal ability. The easiest way to do this is to equip the Wolf’s Cloak ability and our hidden blade to kill everyone who approaches our friend. The escort is fairly simple, just use the following steps: 1. Put up the Wolf’s cloak and head down the alley that Franklin walks first. Use your hidden blade to kill the two enemies here. 2. Exit the alley and follow our friend down the street to the left. Again equip the Wolf’s Cloak and run up to kill the grenadier ahead. 3. He will walk across a courtyard and round a corner to the right to end up on the waterfront. At this point two enemies will approach him. Again use Wolf’s Cloak to take them out. 4. Whilst still cloaked, hop into the hay bale a little further along the waterfront. Grab the enemy leaning against this from inside the hay bale. 5. Follow Franklin down the street opposite the hay bale. Get your Wolf’s Cloak on and run down the street. Kill the two enemies at the entrance to the first alleyway to the right. 6. Now just run to the end of the alley here. As you approach the end of the alleyway a scene will play and the next section of the mission will begin upon its completion. --------------------- Part 3: Infiltrate --------------------- At this point, you will need to swim out to three boats in the water, climb to the upper riggings and kill the snipers in each. Using the Eagle Flight will make this a breeze. There are four snipers that we need to kill and they are all marked with red objective markers. Once all four of them are dead, three golden objective markers will appear at the far end of the dock. These mark ropes that we need to untie to progress. You need to approach each of the three ropes and interact with it. After the first one a large group of bluecoats will attack. Defend yourself and kill them all off. Once they are dead, untie the remaining two ropes. Now that all three ropes have been dealt with, we need to escape the zone and become anonymous. Do so and you will complete the mission. =============================================================================== =============================================================================== Escape to New York [TYRB09] =============================================================================== Optional objective/s: ] ] > Save all of the crew members. ] ] > Kill the target whilst using an animal power.] _______________________________________________] --------------------- Part 1: Escort --------------------- Follow the group of allies around the corner to the right and we need to cruise all the way along the dock to the Aquila which we freed at the end of the previous mission. We will be attacked by bluecoats three times as we work our way towards the ship. When this happens, we need to stop and eliminate them. During these encounters, we also need to keep an eye out for our crew and ensure that we prevent the bad guys from killing your buddies. After the third fight, approach the dock in front of the Aquila for a scene. --------------------- Part 2: Defend --------------------- During this section of the mission, you will have to defend yourself against three waves of bluecoat attackers. In addition you will also need to defend the crew as they make their way across the water to the ship in the distance. Note that there is an optional objective at this time to save all the crew members. To protect the crew members during the defence sequence, you need to keep an eye out for red objective markers. These are snipers and they will shoot at our allies. As soon as you see the red objective markers you need to take them out as quickly as possible to prevent them from attacking the crew members. If you kill all of the red markers, you should have no difficulty earning the objective. Simply kill the three waves of enemies as they come in, break off and kill the red objective markers when you see them and then eliminate the other bluecoats comprising each wave to have this section of the mission done and dusted in no time. Once you have killed all the individuals of the third wave a scene will play. --------------------- Part 3: Assassinate --------------------- After the scene, you will see the target directly in front of you. You will have 20 seconds to kill him. Note that there is an optional objective to kill him using one of the animal powers. Either put on Wolf’s cloak and run up to assassinate him or switch to Eagle’s Flight and hold down the button to activate an Eagle assassination to kill the target. A scene will play to complete the mission and the DLC. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- >> Note: For completing this mission you will earn the achievement/trophy 'Blindsided'. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- =============================================================================== =============================================================================== =============================================================================== The Betrayal: Side-missions [TYRBSD] =============================================================================== Just like the vanilla Assassin's Creed III experience in addition to the main campaign missions, there are several types of additional side-missions to keep you occupied whilst taking a break from the main plot or during exploration once the credits have rolled. These include civilian missions in which you find and assist random citizens hanging around throughout Boston and a collectible acquiring mission for Lucid Memory Artefacts to unlock an additional memory fragment. for quicker navigation, please use the shortcuts here: > Citizen Missions ..................... [TYRBCM] > Lucid Memory Artefacts ............... [TYRBLM] =============================================================================== =============================================================================== =============================================================================== The Betrayal: Citizen Missions [TYRBCM] =============================================================================== The Betrayal features four types of side-missions and they can all be recieved by approaching an individual in the game world with an appropriate side-mission indicator above his head. They are all very simplistic and should not take too much time. The trouble is finding enough of these missions to reach 100% synchronisation without wasting a long time. As such I have listed each type of mission below, how to complete them and a number of locations at which you should be able to find the missions. for quicker navigation, please use the shortcuts here: > Attack the Convoys ................... [TYRWS1] > Help the Hungry ...................... [TYRWS2] > Rescue Civilian ...................... [TYRBS3] > wolf Rescue .......................... [TYRWS4] =============================================================================== =============================================================================== Attack the Convoys [TYRBS1] =============================================================================== As with the main game, in the frontier, this DLC has a number of convoys patrolling the streets of Boston. Attacking these and freeing the prisoners from the cages will complete each task. Convoys appear along major roads. Note that as with the previous DLC, these tasks appear to spawn randomly and often returning to a previous convoy location after a few minutes elsewhere will see them back again. Note: You will have to attack and free 4 convoys for 100% synchronisation. Here are a couple of locations where I was able to find convoys: 1. Heading from north to south along the central bridge linking North Boston and Central Boston. 2. Heading from north to south on a main road around halfway between the northeast side of the lake and the large dock on the north east side of the map (the next large one north of the restricted dock area). 3. Going from southwest to north east along the main road just to the south of the ship building area just to the south of the lower most corner of the large, red restricted area. =============================================================================== =============================================================================== Help the Hungry [TYRBS2] =============================================================================== You will find these missions throughout Boston and they will appear on your map when you get close to them. To complete the mission, give the marked individual a piece of bait. As such, be sure to skin all those animals that you kill (you can find wolves along the waterfront in some places) so that you have some to give! Note that as with the convoys, these tasks appear to spawn randomly and often returning to a location after a few minutes elsewhere will see them back again. Note: You will have to find and help 5 hungry citizens in order to reach 100% synchronisation. Here are a couple of locations where I was able to find the task givers: 1. In a fenced off backyard area, a few streets back from the marketplace directly to the south of the lowest corner of the large, red restricted area along the Boston Docks. 2. Locate the large restricted area around the docks. See the lower side of the area? Follow the line of the northernmost of the lower corners to find a canal. Follow it to the end and continue into the buildings. You will find this in one of the backyards here. 3. In a tent on the smaller dock just south of the northernmost of the two lower corners of the large restricted area. 4. In another yard type area behind the buildings in the very north-west corner of the map. 5. In a yard between buildings just back from the water front about halfway between the two large docks in the north east corner of the Boston map. 6. In a yard behind a building near the waterfront around halfway between the large restricted dock area and the next large dock to the north. 7. Just to the south east of the southern part of the large lake on the western side of the map. 8. In a back alley about halfway between the northeast side of the lake and the large dock on the north east side of the map (the next large one north of the restricted dock area). =============================================================================== =============================================================================== Rescue Civilian [TYRBS3] =============================================================================== These tasks are scattered throughout the Boston area and will appear on the map when you reach a fairly close proximity to them. To complete the task, you simply need to kill the blue coat that is holding the target citizen at gunpoint before they can fire. Kill him to complete the mission. This is fairly easy mission type as you can run up and assassinate the single enemy with ease. Unfortunately there is usually a patrol of bluecoats around these locations though and more often than not they will spot you, forcing you into a lengthy combat sequence. Here are a couple of locations where I was able to find the civilians: 1. In the southern part of the marsh area just to the northeast of the large lake on the western side of the map. 2. Behind the eastern building in the ship building area in the central region at the very northern tip of the map. =============================================================================== =============================================================================== Wolf Rescue [TYRBS4] =============================================================================== As you venture through Boston, you will stumble upon these missions. They require you to help an NPC fight off a pack of four wolves. Whilst you will be able to kill the first one undetected, you will have to kill the next three using the button prompt quick-time events. Once all four are dead, the mission will be complete. Here are the mission locations: 1. On the eastern shore at around the central point of the large lake that takes up a large proportion of the western side of the map. 2. On a small outcropping of land at the southern end of the large lake on the western side of the Boston map. =============================================================================== =============================================================================== =============================================================================== The Betrayal: Lucid Memory Artefacts [TYRBLM] =============================================================================== The artefacts appear as different objects that may be recognisable from the main campaign that you can interact with in the environment. They can be quite difficult to spot at times. Outside of the first artefact, the other two will not appear on your map until you come into range of them. To collect the artefacts, approach them and hit the interact button. Here are the locations of the three artefacts: 1. On the roof of a building just to the southwest of the large red, restricted dock area. Follow the road from the end of this to the south west and you should see the marker appear on the map on the left side of the street. Appears as a rifle on the rooftop. 2. In a courtyard between some buildings to the south east of the southern part of the large lake on the western side of the map. It appears as a cleaver sitting on a crate. It is situated beneath a hanged body in a tree. 3. On a bench beneath a sheltered area next to a road. About halfway between the northeast side of the lake and the large dock on the north east side of the map (the next large one north of the restricted dock area). Appears as a hat. Memory Fragment: ________________ The memory fragment will appear once all three lucid memory artefacts have been acquired. It can be located in the upper riggings of a ship out in the bay in the north east corner of the map. You will need to swim out into the bay and climb to the top. Interact with the ghostly figure here for a scene. =============================================================================== =============================================================================== =============================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- =============================================================================== The Tyranny of King Washington - Part 3: The Redemption [TYRRDM] =============================================================================== =============================================================================== The Redemption is the third and final part of a three piece DLC expansion to Assassin's Creed III entitled 'The Tyranny of King Washington'. Unlike the main campaign, it features an alternate history in which George Washington becomes evil! The Infamy takes place entirely in the Frontier zone and features an additional 8 campaign missions, 3 Lucid Memory Artefacts (Collectibles) and several side-missions to encourage exploration and adventure! As with my campaign walkthrough, the guide below will take you through each mission, completing all of the optional objectives required for 100% synchronisation. Lets get into it!

In the distance you will see a group of four ships heading in your direction. As a refresher when you are engaged in nautical combat, the aim is to manoeuvre your ship so that its side is facing your target. When you fire cannons, hold the button to charge them and when they are ready, you will see a white light appear on the water which indicates where the cannons will fire. Enemy ships likewise have a similar system, although their light on the water will be red. If you see your ship in the range of the red water, tell your men to brace immediately to avoid taking too much damage (try to do this five times for the optional objective – don’t worry if you can’t do them all during the first battle as there is another coming up!). Once you have defeated the enemy ships, set sail for the golden objective marker. Approach it for a scene. --------------------- Part 2: Navigation --------------------- After the scene, you will need to pilot your ship through a minefield ahead which also happens to be populated by a series of jagged rocks. Hitting a mine will result in desynchronisation and a checkpoint restart. There is an optional objective at this point to navigate through the minefield whilst avoiding damage from crashing into any rocks. It’s tricky, but doable. To do this, reduce speed to half sail to begin with and navigate between the obstacles. If you have trouble with speed, quickly reduce speed to zero sails and whilst you are still, use this opportunity to adjust the ships direction before putting out half sail again. You should also reduce sails to zero when rogue winds pick up. You should go to the right of the first rock and then again past the second and third rocks. Be sure to switch between half and no sails when necessary to ensure you can get through without taking damage. When you reach the far side of the mine field target some of the mines between the floating blockade when told to do so and use your swivel gun to shoot. This will destroy the blockade, but trigger another naval battle. --------------------- Part 3: Naval Battle --------------------- To start this fight, there will be 5 ships that you will need to destroy. Don’t forget to continue working towards the 5 successful brace manoeuvres for the optional objective. Once you have killed 2-3 of the initial ships another large group of galleys and schooners will appear further up the river and sail towards you. At this point you need to hurry and kill as many of the ships here as possible – there is an optional objective to kill 80% of the armada here. Once you have destroyed a sufficient number of ships, a scene will play. You don’t have any weapons on you so you just need to drive. To proceed, just pilot the ship towards the man-of-war in the distance, avoiding the other ships that try to block your advance. When you crash into the man-of-war the mission will be complete. =============================================================================== =============================================================================== Sky World Journey [TYRR02] =============================================================================== Optional objective/s: ] ] > Do not touch the ground during the bear ] sequence. ] ] > Do not take any damage from Washington's ] guards. ] _______________________________________________] At the beginning of this mission, we need to use the Eagle Flight power to travel between the floating blue islands that appear. Continue to do this until the island you are on disappears and Connor falls. --------------------- Part 1: Rescue --------------------- After a short scene, run up to the bear’s leg in front of you and climb it all the way to the top where you will find a spear. Interact with the spear. Once the spear has been removed, Connor will jump over to a floating blue island that has appeared. Use Eagle Flight to traverse the islands until you reach the next spear. Jump over and pull it out. Repeat the process for the next two spears. Note that there is an optional objective not to touch the ground at this point so ensure that you use nothing but the floating islands to navigate around the bear and you will easily earn this one. Once all four spears have been removed, a scene will play. --------------------- Part 2: Attack --------------------- Following the scene, you will have a new power – Bear Might. Use it on the golden enemies that approach you. Once they are dead, you will see a large group appear in the distance. Note that there is an optional objective here that requires not taking any damage from these enemies. This is actually pretty easy as they will all charge at you and you can pretty much spam the bear might attack until they thin out a bit. When it is safe to proceed onwards, head over to the big glowing blue head in the distance and use Bear Might on it to complete the mission. =============================================================================== =============================================================================== The Parting of the Blue Sea [TYRR03] =============================================================================== Optional objective/s: ] ] > kill 50 bluecoats. ] _______________________________________________] From the beginning of the mission, use Eagle Fight to fly up to the top of the wall ahead and make your way to the golden objective marker. As you approach a scene will play. Hit the Bear Might button during the scene when required. --------------------- Part 1: Attack --------------------- When you regain control, switch back to the Eagle flight ability and fly up to the ranged attackers that are marked by the red objective markers. Take the four of these guys out. As they go down, another four will appear on the wall opposite the courtyard below. Fly over here and take them out as well. Now that the snipers have been dealt with, drop down to the courtyard below. There is a large scale battle raging around here. You will notice three golden objective markers around the area. These indicate gates to the Pyramid and a steady stream of bluecoat reinforcements will emerge from here. We need to approach each of these three gates and use the Bear Might ability to destroy it. Note that there is an optional mission objective to kill 50 bluecoats during this section. Using Bear Might will deal with a great number of them at once, but will severely reduce your health if used too much. As such, use it sparingly and try to attract as many guards as possible to each of the gates before you destroy it to catch them in the attack as well. Once you have destroyed the first two gates and a scene will play. After the scene finishes, kill bluecoats in the courtyard until you have got your target 50 kills for the optional objective. Now go and destroy the final reinforcement point. Once all three reinforcement points have been sealed, a new golden objective marker will appear. Run over to this and use Bear Might on the iron gate here for another scene. --------------------- Part 2: Escape --------------------- Once the scene has concluded, we need to escape the area. To do this, make your way out of the mission area and continue evading guards until you become anonymous. This will complete the mission. =============================================================================== =============================================================================== Feeding the Masses [TYRR04] =============================================================================== Optional objective/s: ] ] > Kill the target whilst remaining undetected. ] ] > Do not let the cart's health drop below 50%. ] ] > Perform 3 Double-Eagle Assassinations. ] _______________________________________________] --------------------- Part 1: Follow --------------------- The first part of this level consists of us tailing a target. He will walk along the waterfront here and stop frequently. To follow him without too much hassle, use Eagle Flight to access the rooftops along the left hand side of the street and follow him as he goes. Eliminate any guards on the rooftops quietly to avoid triggering open conflict (there are only 1-3 of them so it shouldn’t be too hard!). Follow him around the corner, continuing along the rooftops and wait for him to reach his compound. A scene will play. --------------------- Part 2: Assassination --------------------- When you are back in control, have Connor use eagle flight to get onto the fence directly in front of you and from here to the roof of the main building inside the compound. Stay on the side of the roof closest to the gate and hang out for a few moments. Now it should be noted that we have an optional objective to assassinate the target without being detected. Fortunately, he has a patrol route that spends most of his time beneath the main building, however at one point he will move between the main structure and the gate. If you are in position, you can easily perform an air assassination on him as he pops out to complete the objective. Killing him will alert his guards, so clear out the compound of hostiles and then approach the golden objective marker and interact with it for a scene to start the next part of the mission. --------------------- Part 3: Escort --------------------- We will now be on top of a cart and need to escort it through the streets. Note that there is a pair of optional objectives at this point that we can earn – don’t let the cart drop below 50% health and perform 3 double Eagle Assassinations. As we escort the cart, it will come to a stop three times and each time it does, you will have to kill a wave of attackers. The three stops play out as such: 1. 2 enemies will run out in front of the cart and stand together on the street. Hold down the eagle flight button to get a double assassination on them. The next enemy will appear on the roof to the left and another will show up soon after on a roof to the right. Use Eagle flight to either assassinate them straight away or to quickly access the rooftop next to them to take them out. Return to the cart when you are done. 2. As with the first stop, 2 enemies will appear on the street in front of the cart. Double Eagle Assassinate them. The next 2 guards show up on the roof of the church on the left side of the street (you should also be able to double Eagle Assassinate them). Whilst you are up here additional enemies will appear - 1 from behind the cart, 1 from in front of the cart and 1 on a roof along the right side of the street. Kill the guy in front first as he will drop a powder keg near the cart and then retreat to shoot it which will cause a lot of damage. After he is dead, kill the other two and then return to the cart. 3. When the cart stops for the final time, you will encounter a roadblock in front. 2 enemies will appear in front, of this (double eagle assassination time!). A further two enemies will work their way down to the street from the rooftops on the right and another single enemy will approach the cart from behind. After dealing with those guys another group of 3 bluecoats will approach from the direction of the roadblock along with one final enemy on one of the roofs on the left. When it is clear, shoot the roadblock to clear the road. After clearing the final wave, jump back onto the cart and ride it until a scene plays to end the mission. =============================================================================== =============================================================================== One Step at a Time [TYRR05] =============================================================================== Optional objective/s: ] ] No optional objectives in this mission. ] _______________________________________________] This mission is fairly straightforward. We need to sow discord in the citizens of New York by doing a bunch of visible and high profile actions. Fortunately we can find these all marked on the mini-map. Essentially we have to go to an objective marker, complete the task and move onto the next one. They are relatively straight forward and should not be difficult at all. Here is a list of the mission types: Hang Bluecoat: ______________ To perform this task you need to go to the high vantage point marked with the noose icon and equip the rope darts. Wait for a bluecoat to come past and use the rope dart on him. Once you have hit him, walk backwards to drop from the vantage point and hang the guard. Easy! Assassinate officer: ____________________ Kill the bluecoat marked with a skull icon.These guys will usually run away as soon as they see you so be prepared for a chase if you approach them from street level (or alternatively stalk them from a rooftop or use your Eagle Flight Assassination to take him down from a distance). Destroy Cannons: ________________ Self-explanatory! Head over to the cannons marked with the cannon icon and use Bear Might next to them to destroy them. Beat-up orator: _______________ Approach one of the orator’s marked with an icon that looks like a man with his arms spread open and remove all your weapons so you are unarmed. Punch him up until the task is completed! Escort rebel leader: ____________________ speak to the rebel leader marked with the icon that looks like it has several people on it. After a few moments a golden objective marker will appear. Run to this and the leader will follow. If you encounter any enemies along the way, kill them and ensure that the rebel leader does not take too much damage. When you arrive at the destination, the task will be complete. Destroy Washington statue: __________________________ Similar to the cannons. Head over to one of the statues marked with the relevant quest icon and use the Bear Might ability next to them to destroy it. Once you have completed any five of these tasks a golden objective indicator will appear. Run over and chat with the man at the marker. Interact with him to watch a scene. After watching the scene, simply complete another 5 of the aforementioned civil unrest tasks to have yet another golden objective marker appear nearby. Make your way over to this (it’s a lookout point on the side of a church) and watch the scene unfold to complete the mission. =============================================================================== =============================================================================== The Signal [TYRR06] =============================================================================== Optional objective/s: ] ] > Save at least 3 firing squad victims. ] ] > Reach the tower using only chained Eagle ] Flight. ] ] > Kill 5 guards with one use of Bear Might. ] _______________________________________________] --------------------- Part 1: Rescue --------------------- As soon as you begin this mission, kill the pair of guards in front and immediately fly up to the rooftop on the other side of the street. Once up, you need to use Eagle Flight to make your way across the rooftops towards the golden objective marker as fast as you can. When you arrive you will see a group of prisoners facing a firing squad. Quickly jump down and attack the firing squad to prevent them from attacking anyone (there is an optional objective to save 3/4 prisoners here). Kill the enemies marked with the red objective markers first to ensure the firing squad is dead before focusing on the other enemies you will have no doubt alerted in disrupting the execution. When it is safe to do so, walk over to the glowing prisoner and interact with him for a scene. --------------------- Part 2: Climb --------------------- Following the scene do not move! There is an objective here to reach the next objective marker using only chained uses of the Eagle fight ability and if you make even one step you will fail the objective. Instead look up and target one of the nearby buildings to fly up. Mash the Eagle flight ability whilst working your way towards the tower and when you reach it you will complete the optional objective. Note that it make take a few tries to get a proper route working here, but if you do fail the objective, simply reset the checkpoint until you get it. Once on the tower, climb to the platform at the top and eliminate the two enemies here. Afterwards, interact with the torch in the centre for a scene. Do a leap of faith off the tower before the time limit expires. As you land in the hay cart, there will be a group of 5-6 enemies directly in front. Kill them (or use wolfs cloak to avoid them) and enter the shack nearby to talk with the contact again. --------------------- Part 3: Attack --------------------- After a short chat, exit the shack and fly up to the wall surrounding the tower in front. Try to shoot one of the powder kegs marked with the objective markers at the base of the tower before killing any of the guards. This will cause a short scene to play. After the scene, we need to destroy the tower by using Bear Might on it. Before we do this however, we need to round up the enemies in the small courtyard below the tower for the optional objective (kill 5 enemies with a single Bear Might attack). Just cut big laps around the small area at the base of the tower until the guards are all bunched up. Then charge into the middle of them and use the bear Might attack to complete the objective. When you are ready run up to the tower and use Bear might at its base for a scene to complete the mission. =============================================================================== =============================================================================== Halls of Injustice [TYRR07] =============================================================================== Optional objective/s: ] ] > open the throne room door in under 1 minute. ] ] > do not kill any animals in Washington's zoo. ] _______________________________________________] As the mission starts, run over and interact with the gate marked with the golden objective marker to enter the pyramid. --------------------- Part 1: Investigate --------------------- Once we are inside, you will notice a green ring on your mini-map. We need to examine some clues in the environment! Firstly run over to the door on the far side of the room and investigate the clue on the left side of it. Afterwards turn back to look at the statue. Now look above and to the left of it to see a pillar with the second clue near the top of the room. Eagle Flight up to the scaffold here and investigate it. After this turn to the right and you will see the final clue near a grating above another scaffolding against the far wall. Fly over here and investigate it. A scene will play. After the scene, use the Bear might ability to destroy the grating. Enter the passage beyond. Turn right and continue along the pathway here using Eagle Flight to navigate the massive pit that you come across. At the far end, use Bear Might again to remove the metal bars from the wall for a scene. Afterwards you will be in cover behind a corner. Equip Eagle’s flight and hold the aim button to pull out a reticule and target one of the enemies aiming at your position with an Eagle Flight assassination. As you land, quickly switch to Bear Might and use it a couple of times to remove the majority of enemies on the bridge. Mop up any remaining bad guys. If you look down from either side of the bridge you will notice that there is a bear on one side and a cougar on the other. These are animal pits and if you look inside will also notice that there are glowing clues in each of the pits. Note that there is an optional objective of not killing the animals in this area. To do this, equip Wolf’s Cloak, drop down into each cage. Activate the cloak and run over to the clue to interact with it. Afterwards, quickly exit the area either using Eagle’s Flight (if you have enough health left) or climbing out of range. Once you have analysed the first 2 clues, run over to the grated area in the water at the back of the cougar cage and examine the clue on the gate here. A scene will play. Afterwards, interact with the gate and hit the buttons as required to go through to the next area. Follow the watery passage all the way to the very end, using the dive button to get under the obstruction around half way through. At the far side, climb up and out and enter the next long corridor. --------------------- Part 2: Platforming --------------------- Look up and to the left as you enter to find a platform we can fly up to near the top of the room. Use Eagle Flight to get across the gap ahead, note that you will need to swing, jump and hit Eagle Flight in mid-air to navigate from the middle of the area to the far side. When you reach the opposite side, turn left, run and jump off the platform. Use Eagle Flight on the way down to grab a support in the centre of the pit. Work your way to the platform on the far side. When you reach the boards on the floor at the end of the hall here, use Bear Might to fall through to the room below. Kill all of the enemies here and when you are all clear, approach the pedestal at the foot of the stairs. Interact with this. Note this is a rotation puzzle and we need to fit the pieces together. There is an optional objective to solve the puzzle within 1 minute. To solve the puzzle, use the following steps: > Rotate the first piece clockwise once. > Rotate the second piece counter clockwise once. > Rotate the third piece clockwise once. Once the puzzle is solved, head up the stairs and through the open door for a scene. After the scene, head over and climb up to the golden objective marker. When the marker moves on to the next location use Eagle flight to work your way over to it. When you reach this platform, turn right and continue down the hall here until you reach a wooden wall blocking your path. Use bear Might to take it out. Continue along the set path and around the next corner. Take out a second wall here. A scene will play. Once the scene finishes, we need to use Eagle Flight to jump from platform to platform. Note that these platforms here are collapsing so we need to pretty much use eagle flight as soon as we arrive at each location. Keep going from platform to platform until you reach the small beam at the far end. Once the scene has finished, look up to the right to see another beam above in the distance. Use Eagle Flight to get to this point and then use the set of bars here to work your way over to the next platform. When you land, climb the wall to the left and enter the door at the top. Follow the hallway to the left and climb the ladder at the end to complete the mission. =============================================================================== =============================================================================== Inevitable Confrontation [TYRR08] =============================================================================== Optional objective/s: ] ] No optional objectives in this mission. ] _______________________________________________] This chapter brings us face to face with the big boss. It is fairly easy to beat this guy, its just a matter of power selection. The fight encompasses three different attack patterns that you can counter and overcome by using the specific animal abilities. --------------------- Phase 1: --------------------- Firstly he will stand stationary and shoot at you with ranged attacks from a distance. At the same time, a series of glowing, golden balls surround him. Use Wolf cloak to turn invisible. Approach him whilst avoiding the balls of light and attack him when you get in range. You will need to do this twice times. Note that each time you do it, the number of glowing balls increases making it a little tougher to get in close. --------------------- Phase 2: --------------------- The second phase has the boss still stationary with and energy shield for protection and a series of energy balls rotating around him. This time his attack will change up a bit, it’s also time for you to switch abilities – Eagle Flight is up! During this phase, when the boss attacks he will hit the ground and send out a shockwave. At this point, his energy shield will drop, leaving him open for attack. As such, wait for it and when he hits the ground, target him with an Eagle Flight assassination. --------------------- Phase 3: --------------------- At this point he will temporarily revert back to the first phase attack method, so get back into wolf’s cloak mode. You will need to approach and attack him as we did before, although there are significantly more energy balls around this time so make sure to avoid them! After two successful attacks, he will change thing up again. It’s back to the second phase attack. As such, just wait for him to hit the ground and do the Eagle Assassination on him. A scene will play. --------------------- Phase 4: --------------------- The final phase of the fight has the boss encased in an energy shield in the centre of the area. As such we cannot damage him. He will fire off ranged shots at you. Additionally he will summon a large number of golden clones of himself to attack you. Fortunately, although it sounds tricky, this part is pretty easy. We just need to switch to the Bear Might ability. Run around to the four corners of the arena and use the Bear Might attack on the ground that is indicated for you. Once you have destroyed three of the four highlighted areas, a scene will play to end the fight. During the ensuing scene, proceed forwards towards the people in the distance until a scene plays to signal the end of the mission and the DLC. Congratulations! you have completed the Tyranny of King Washington DLC. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- >> Note: For completing this mission you will earn the achievement/trophy 'First in the Hearts'. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- =============================================================================== =============================================================================== =============================================================================== The Redemption: Side-missions [TYRRSD] =============================================================================== Just like the vanilla Assassin;s Creed III experience in addition to the main campaign missions, there are several types of additional side-missions to keep you occupied whilst taking a break from the main plot or during exploration once the credits have rolled. These include civilian missions in which you find and assist random citizens hanging aound in New York and a collectible acquiring mission for Lucid Memory Artefacts to unlock an additional meomor fragment. for quicker navigation, please use the shortcuts here: > Citizen Missions ..................... [TYRRCM] > Lucid Memory Artefacts ............... [TYRRLM] =============================================================================== =============================================================================== =============================================================================== The Redemption: Citizen Missions [TYRRCM] =============================================================================== The Redemption features four types of side-missions and they can all be recieved by approaching an individual in the game world with an appropriate side-mission indicator above his head. They are all very simplistic and should not take too much time. The trouble is finding enough of these missions to reach 100% synchronisation without wasting a long time. As such I have listed each type of mission below, how to complete them and a number of locations at which you should be able to find the missions. for quicker navigation, please use the shortcuts here: > Attack the Convoys ................... [TYRRS1] > Defend Civilians ..................... [TYRRS2] > Help the Hungry ...................... [TYRRS3] > Rescue Civilians ..................... [TYRRS4] =============================================================================== =============================================================================== Attack the Convoys [TYRRS1] =============================================================================== As with the main game, in the frontier, this DLC has a number of convoys patrolling the streets of New York. Attacking these, killing all of the marked guards and then freeing the prisoners from both cages will complete each task. Convoys usually appear along major roads. Note that as with the previous DLC, these tasks appear to spawn randomly and often returning to a previous convoy location after a few minutes elsewhere will see them back again. Note; You will need to complete 3 of these tasks in order to reach 100% synchronisation. Here are a couple of locations where I was able to find convoys: 1. Travelling from north to south along the main street one set of buildings back from the water front on the eastern side of the map (directly to the east of the pyramid). 2. Travelling from north to south along the main street one set of buildings back from the water front on the eastern side of the map (directly to the south east of the pyramid). 3. Moving from east to west along the street 4 rows of buildings back from the northern part of Washington’s Pyramid. 4. Moving from west to east along a road to the west of the large triangular park north of Washington’s Pyramid. =============================================================================== =============================================================================== Defend Civilians [TYRRS2] =============================================================================== As you explore New York, you will stumble upon these missions. They require you to help a group of NPCs fight off a large group of bluecoats. Whilst you will be able to kill the first few undetected, you will have to kill the rest of them in open combat. Be sure to keep an eye out on the civilians you are supposed to be guarding and ensure they survive the fight to complete the mission. Note: You will need to complete 3 of these tasks in order to reach 100% synchronisation. Here are some of the mission locations: 1. In some back alleys behind some buildings to the east of the Pyramid. The task marker is in line with around the north 1/3 of Washington’s Pyramid. 2. In a back alley between a group of buildings around halfway between the northern tip of Washington’s Pyramid and the large triangular park to the north of it. 3. In a yard between buildings just back from the waterfront about halfway between the two largest docks in the south eastern corner of the map. =============================================================================== =============================================================================== Help the Hungry [TYRRS3] =============================================================================== You will find these missions throughout new York and as with the other civilian missions, they will appear on your map when you get close to them. To complete the mission, give the marked individual a piece of bait. As such, be sure to skin all those animals that you kill so that you have some to give! Note that as with the convoys, these tasks appear to spawn randomly and often returning to a location after a few minutes elsewhere will see them back again. Note; You will need to complete 6 of these tasks in order to reach 100% synchronisation. Here are a couple of locations where I was able to find the task givers: 1. On one of the docks in the very south western corner of the map. 2. In a cage on one of the docks in the very south eastern corner of the map. 3. On a small side-street just to the south east of Washington’s pyramid. 4. On one of the docks about half way down the eastern side of of the map. 5. On the side of a street one row of houses back from the north east corner of washington’s pyramid. 6. In a back alley between a group of buildings around halfway between the northern tip of Washington’s Pyramid and the large triangular park to the north of it. 7. In amongst some of the burnt out buildings directly to the north west of Washington’s Pyramid. 8. In amongst some of the burnt out buildings directly to the west of the south-western corner of Washington’s Pyramid. =============================================================================== =============================================================================== Rescue Civilians [TYRRS4] =============================================================================== Similar to the previous DLC in Boston, these tasks are scattered throughout the New York region and will appear on the map when you reach a fairly close proximity to them. To complete the task, you simply need to kill the blue coat that is holding the target citizen at gunpoint before they can fire. Kill him to complete the mission. This is fairly easy mission type as you can run up and assassinate the single enemy with ease. Unfortunately there is usually a patrol of bluecoats around these locations though and more often than not they will spot you, forcing you into a lengthy combat sequence. Note; You will need to complete 3 of these tasks in order to reach 100% synchronisation. These are a couple of locations at which I found the quests: 1. You will find this quest in a courtyard between buildings on the eastern side of the map. The location is a little tricky, but do you see the fort in the south western corner? Follow the line of the top-most corner point straight across the map to the east for a general idea of the location. 2. On one of the docks about half way down the eastern side of the map. 3. On one of the docks to the west of the southern part of Washington’s Pyramid. =============================================================================== =============================================================================== =============================================================================== The Redemption: Lucid Memory Artefacts [TYRRLM] =============================================================================== The artefacts appear as different objects that may be recognisable from the main campaign that you can interact with in the environment. They can be quite difficult to spot at times. Outside of the first artefact, the other two will not appear on your map until you come into range of them. To collect the artefacts, approach them and hit the interact button. Here are the locations of the three artefacts: 1. On top of the highest point of the nearest church directly to the north east of Washington’s Pyramid. Appears as a metal wrist band on a crate. 2. Investigate the glowing noose on the gallows in the churchyard directly to the north west of Washington’s Pyramid. 3. On the western side of the inner courtyard of the fort in the south west corner of the map. You will find it as a cape spread out on a table here. Memory Fragment: ________________ The memory fragment will appear once all three lucid memory artefacts have been acquired. It can be located in the upper riggings of a ship out in the bay on the eastern side of the map. You will need to swim out into the bay and climb to the top of the ship. Interact with the ghostly figure here for a scene. =============================================================================== =============================================================================== =============================================================================== Downloadable Content Achievement/Trophy Guide [DLCATR] =============================================================================== To date, there are four downloadable content packs for Assassin;s Creed III that feature achievements/trophies.

Enjoy! =============================================================================== Donations =============================================================================== After a few generous emails and suggestions from readers and because donations seems to be a growing trend among other contemporary guide writers, I have decided to put in the option to allow you to donate some money to me for helping you out if you wish to do so. Although I make these guides for free in my spare time, I probably don’t need to point out to gamers that purchasing games is an extremely expensive hobby (games in Australia cost on average $90 - $120) and writing guides for them can be a very long, incredibly difficult and thankless task at the best of times, but one that is very challenging and occasionally rewarding. Considering you could be paying upwards of $20+ for guides in a game shop,these free and easily available guides make a cost-effective substitute. Whilst most are happy to use and move on without a word I would move that a simple donation is a great, easy way to say thanks if you feel that my guide has saved you some time, money and frustration in some small way. By no means feel obligated to donate just for viewing my guide, but if you are feeling a little generous I certainly won’t object! Any amount is appreciated whether it be 10 cents or $10. Thankyou far all that read this far, if you are interested in donating, my Paypal address is listed below, if not, don't forget to hit that recommend button at the top of the page to help me out!
