Game Objectives

As with the previous games in the series, Revelations begins with some linear events that will introduce you to gameplay concepts and teach you all the abilities.

Story Chapters

Like the previous games, there are chapters to Revelations. Each chapter consists of Memories that you must complete to progress the story. These memories are the core of the game, but there is a lot of side events you can do.

Core Memories

Core Memories are the sequences' that progress the story. While you can do these and go straight through the game, you will be missing a bunch of the fun part of the game.

Secondary Memories

Secondary Memories are events that are optional to the main story. They will flesh out the gameplay and make your experience that much more enjoyable.

Other Optionals

Like the previous games, you will eventually unlock the ability to invest in the society you interact with by restoring and unlocking bonuses.

Full Synch & Memory Replay

All Memories have Full Synchronization conditions that you must fulfill in order to get 100%. If you do not complete the memory's condition you will only get 50%. You can always replay a memory to try and get 100% though. Ezio will then be transported back to that event, with all his current weapons. This means that previously hard missions may be easier later on.

Health & Desynch

Ezio's health is indicated by the horizontal gauge at the top left corner of the screen. Pure white blocks represent health, while grey ones are damaged health. Damaged health will regenerate. Empty blocks are health that is gone, these can only be recovered by a doctor or drinking medicine. Red filled blocks indicated damaged armor slots that need to be repaired at a blacksmith. In order to gain more health bars you will need to buy armor and equip it.

Aside from enemies, you can lose health from falling damage.

8 meters or more = 30% of your health

12 meters or more = 50% of your health

16 meters or more = 75% of your health

20 meters or more = Desync

Desynch occurs under certain conditions and will cause you to have to replay the sequence you are on.

The following will cause a desyn:

Death

Fail an objective

Running out of bounds

Acting against Ezio's normal behavior, such as killing allies, etc.

Random Encounters & Events

There are a bunch of random of events in Revelations that can occur at any given time. Some are good and some are bad.

Stalkers

Stalkers are marked on the mini-map by a dagger. These guys run behind Ezio and try to kill him. You have a brief moment to attack him before he stabs you. You should always chase the fleeing Stalkers, since letting them go increases the Templar Awareness 25%.

Templar Couriers

Templar Couriers are carried over from the previous games and will run at the sight of you. Be sure to tackle or leg sweep them, but do not kill them. Killing them will increase the Templar Awareness meter.

Civilian Encounters

Sometimes you will notice a black dot on your mini-map. These are civilian events that Ezio can do for money and ingredients. They can be anything from beating up a guy, to helping them carry supplies to the docks.

Walkthrough

Sequence 01

A Sort of Homecoming

Run along the shore until you see Subject 16 and then follow him. After a short scene he will disappear. Step into the portal nearby to begin your first memory.

---

---

Memory 1: The Hangman

---

---

This is your introductory tutorial of the game. Follow the instructions and you should be done in no time.

---

---

Memory 2: A Narrow Escape

---

---

100% Synch Requirement	Kill a Byzantine Templar with a counter kill

Time to learn about free running and climbing. Follow Altair to reach the roof to perform a Leap of Faith to reach the foot of Masyaf's keep. Counter kill the Byzantine Templar and run along to kill some more before talking to the man by the door.

---

---

Memory 3: A Journal of Some Kind

---

---

100% Synch Requirement	Do not fail a single tail

Follow the man to the nearby door and interact with it. Follow the waypoints, killing enemies that get in your way and when you reach the roof jump and deploy your parachute to reach the town. Simply follow any one of the yellow cursors to its location without being seen for the 100%.

---

---

Memory 4: A Hard Ride

---

---

For the first part of this memory you need to avoid the dangers by using the left analog. When the rope frays you will need to get above the damaged spot by holding up on the analog. The second half of the memory will require you to destroy a carriage and then stay alive against the captain's carriage. In order to do this, you need to ram the enemy carriage into the rough terrain on the ground to cause damage, while avoiding the rough terrain yourself.

---

---

Memory 5: The Wounded Eagle

---

---

100% Synch Requirement	Kill at least 5 guards from a haystack

After a short fight with some guards, infiltrate the village. Ezio is wounded, and can't climb now, so you will need to use blend and other ways to hide, but you can also just kill the enemies. Look for haystacks to use to kill guards and try and get the 5 kills as you follow the captain's path, using Eagle Sense.

When you have all 5 kills in a haystack you can head to the waypoint. Climb the wall, while avoiding fire and kill the captain.

Sequence 02

The Crossroads of the World

Head into the portal for a scene with Ezio writing to Claudie as to why he must head to Constantinople.

---

---

Memory 1: A Warm Welcome

---

---

100% Synch Requirement	Do not wander far from Yusuf

Talk to Yusuf to start this memory and then follow him. Stick close even when you run into trouble. When you reach your location, interact with the door.

---

---

Memory 2: Upgrade and Explore

---

---

You can now run around to an extent. I suggest getting the nearby viewpoints to start filling in the city.

Once you are ready, head to the blue marker on the map to buy new armor.

---

---

Memory 3: The Hookblade

---

---

100% Synch Requirement	Perform every hookblade move successfully at least once

This shouldn't require much instruction, just use O to get off the lamps as you swing on them to perform the jumps and make sure to HOLD O for the Hook and Run move.

---

---

Memory 4: The View From Galata

---

---

100% Synch Requirement	Climb the tower in under 60 secs

In order to get the 100% synch you will need to move quickly. Follow Yusuf and keep moving. Use the UP and X to up higher and O to grab with the hookblade for areas that Ezio won't ascend on his own.

---

---

Memory 5: Advanced Tactics

---

---

100% Synch Requirement	Perform a zipline assassination

Follow Yusuf and when he performs a zipline assassination it will be your turn. Wait for the guard to reach the downed guard and head down the zipline. When you get close, press SQUARE to perform an attack.

---

---

Memory 6: On The Defense

---

---

Time to learn about Den Defense. This is the best opportunity to get the achievement/trophy for not using a cannon attack that accompanies Den Defense. Since the action will pause, allowing you to learn the controls, but the morale will continue to increase, you have a great opportunity to amass a huge income to buy troops. Simply let the morale increase to 50 each round and you should have plenty of troops to take out your enemy.

At the start of the defense, use the R analog to direct Ezio's view and the L analog to move the cursor. Place the Leader and two crossbowmen on for the first wave.

Wait for the morale to reach 50 and then place a barricade to the left of the archway across from Ezio and three more archers.

Now place a leader to the left of Ezio's location and place three gunmen at the furthest distance from the entrance on that rooftop.

Whatever you do, DO NOT FIRE THE CANNON. Let your assassins take them all out.

When the wave is done, upgrade your barricade to the max level, place another behind it, and fill the roofs with riflemen. The siege engine should only make it through two barricades at the most.

---

---

Memory 7: On The Attack

---

---

100% Synch Requirement	Do not create any conflict in the Imperial North District

After the initial battle, follow Yusuf. Eventually, you will be asked to throw a Cherry Bomb. Follow the on-screen instructions and then continue to follow Yusuf. When you get control again use the zipline for an assassination and head to Yusuf.

Use Eagle Sense to identify the captain. When he walks off, head to the left building and take out the gunman. Use the Throwing Knife to kill the gunman across the way. Jump down to where the second gunman was and select the poison darts. Hit the captain and then move out of sight. Climb up the tower and light the signal.

Sequence 03

Lost and Found

Back at Animus Island you can listen to more dialogue before heading back inside. You now have free reign or Imperial North District.

---

---

Faction HQ Mission 1: Unfortunate Son

---

---

100% Synch Requirement	Using a Thief group, lure the benefactor from his security zone before killing him

Head to the Thief Guild to accept this and then head to the waypoint and hire the Thief group. Use them to lure the nearby guards away. Use Eagle Sense to identify the snitch and then follow via the rooftops. When he finally stops, you should get a scene. Hire the thieves nearby and have them lure the benefactor away. As soon as he leaves the restricted area, kill him however you want.

---

---

Faction HQ Mission 2: Loose Lips

---

---

100% Synch Requirement	Free the captured Mercenaries without being detected

Head to the Mercenaries Guild to accept this and then follow the mercenaries until you reach the green search area and then hit O to make them hold their position. Climb to the top of the buildings and use Eagle Sense to locate who you need to save.

There are many ways to get this 100%, but a fun one is to stand on the roof where the south road slits north and when you see an Ottoman patrol stop at the corner, throw a bomb in the north alley between the two groups and they will fight. Kill off the enemies with ranged attacks and then have the mercenaries finish off the rest. Pick up the kid and head for the waypoint. Keep near the kid and make sure no one bothers the doctor.

---

---

The Impaler'S Tomb

---

---

100% Synch Requirement	Complete the level within 7 minutes

Find the Hidden Tomb marker on the map, in Sophia's house, to locate a book that will mark The Impaler's Tomb on the main map.

Once inside, free run on the short course directly ahead and to the left. When you reach the upper level, take a right and then left. Swing down to the lower level and continue west until you reach an opening on the south wall (by climbing on a box). Follow the route and bypass the locked gate and perform a side jump from the ledge to reach the platform to the right and ride the zipline down. In the next area, follow the path to reach an opening in a wall (by using the boxes to get higher and making your way around and back jumping to a platform) and swing via the pole to reach the lower level.

Use the boxes to get on the upper area and follow the path and execute a long jump (hit O after jumping) when you get to the hanging fixture to reach a balcony. Perform a Leap of Faith from the perch and swim to a ledge to follow the tunnel (watching out for pits) until you come to a room and past it, a staircase.

Climb over the gate and then head west to reach a large room. Climb the north wall and use the ledges and platforms to get to the large arch to the south. Side jump to the ledge nearby and then to the platform. Follow the path and jump onto the suspended cage and move to the left, around a corner, and climb to the top via the door.

Next, climb the shaft via the drain and jump over the sewer opening to the south and climb on the wooden beam above. Now, jump over the north and ascend until the camera angle changes to show you where to go. Use the wooden framework to the south to begin the last part of the climb to reach an opening to the north. Back jump from the chain to get to the balcony and run down the steps. Loot the stone container to get Vlad Tepe's Sword.

---

---

Memory 1: The Prisoner

---

---

100% Synch Requirement	Pickpocket the guard to retrieve the key

The guard you are looking for is a short distance to the east. When you reach the area, hop into the water and approach from the side. Check the stairs to the right and if it is clear, climb the wall in front of you. Use Eagle Sense to spot the guy you need to pickpocket. You can either rush up to him by holding Fast Walk or hide in the group nearby and wait for him to start walking away before trying this. Run back to the water and make your way back to the prisoner now.

---

---

Memory 2: The Sentinel, Part 1

---

---

100% Synch Requirement	Use your Assassin Signal at least 1 time

After your apprentice tells you what is going on, head for the waypoint. Kill the guards however you see fit, but make sure that you use your Assassin Signal (L2). Go to the haystack and talk to your apprentice. Head to the man on the bench the game indicated and use Eagle Sense. Go to the next green area with Eagle Sense to see the massive bloodstain. Run after the guy and then fight alongside your apprentice.

When you recruit your assassins you can level them up and gain access to the Master Assassin Missions.

---

---

Memory 3: Guild Contracts

---

---

The second part of this is as simple as heading to a pidgeon coop and being introduced to the Mediterranean Defense.

---

---

Memory 4: Bomb Crafting

---

---

Do as the tutorial instructs for this chapter and you should be okay. After the scene, leave the den and head for Piri Reis.

---

---

Memory 5: A Familiar Face

---

---

Head inside and meet Sofia and then use Eagle Sense to find the hidden passage.

---

---

Memory 6: The Verebatan Cistern

---

---

100% Synch Requirement	Do not be detected

Once your reach the first area with Templar's you need to be careful. If you head left and kill the two guards, the captain should patrol over to check the corpse of the guard who was sitting. Kill him and you will get the cistern key. Head up the rafters via the boxes to carefully take out the rest of the guards.

In the next area with guards, kill the two nearby guards before dropping down. Killing the pacing guard in the middle should make the far guard come examine. Kill the two guards on the right by the gate carefully and run past them to kill the mining guard (watching out for the guard on the upper level to the left). Next you should take out that upper guard by hiding to the left of the boxes. The captain can't see you, but you also can't target him. Go up the stairs to get to the upper level. When he isn't looking, target and kill him.

The guard blocking the gate shouldn't pose much of a problem, so kill him and make your way to the waypoint.

Stay on the upper level as long as possible to take out as many guards as you can before dropping down in a safe place.

Use Eagle Sense to find the hidden door and receive the Masayf Key.

---

---

Memory 7: Quid Pro Quo

---

---

This will happen when you leave the cistern and talk to Sofia. Leave her shop afterwards.

---

---

Memory 8: The Mentor's Keeper

---

---

100% Synch Requirement	Save all citizens under attack

Returning to the Assassin HQ and heading to the marker will trigger a memory of Altair. In order to get the 100% you much kill all the guards marked with a black dot on the mini-map (they will only appear when you are anonymous).

Make your way to the target without being detected by climbing the wall to the right of the gate. Kill the guard at the top and then head right instead of down. Kill the guard and climb the wall at the dead end and continue along the path. Use the pole at the end to swing down and target the captain and kill him.

---

---

Memory 9: Curse of the Romani

---

---

100% Synch Requirement	Poison all of your targets while blending with the Romanies

Firstly, make sure you have enough poison. Head to the waypoint and hire the Romanies. Use the Romanies to blend as you walk around. When you reach your destination, line up a Poison Dart and hit the target. When the guard picks up the chest, follow him until he stops and then shoot him. Do the same for the last guard and then grab the chest and head back to the Romani HQ.

---

---

Memory 10: The Sentinel, Part 2

---

---

100% Synch Requirement	Do not be detected while you search for the prisoners

In order to get the 100% in this you will need to be tricky. Hire the Thieves on the rooftops and use them you lure the guards outside the first assassin. After this, I suggest you use bombs to lure guards together and then kill them. Afterwards, head back to the Assassin HQ. Chase the sentinel around until your apprentice kills him.

Sequence 04

The Uncivil War

You can actually do these in any order, but I will be listing them in the DNA order.

---

---

Memory 1: The Prince's Banquet

---

---

100% Synch Requirement	Beat Yusuf to Topkapi Palace

Yusuf is pretty slow, so just keep up with the other assassins and you should beat him there. Once there, jump down and bunch the annoying and "oh so familiar" minstrels. Dump them in the hay and head to the next group. If you stick to the left wall you should have no problem taking out all three groups. I can't get over Ezio's outfit.

Follow the games on-screen instructions to get inside and head for the waypoint. Use Eagle Sense to spot your target and then move to the designated spot and perform to catch the crowd attention, allowing your assassins to take out the target. Do this again for the second target.

In the next area, do the same as you did before three more times. Once you do, you will see a cutscene. Rush forward and kill the assassin before he kills the prince.

---

---

Memory 2: An Uneasy Meeting

---

---

• 100% Synch Requirement: Do not be detected.

Instead of heading straight for the target area, turn around and head through the archway to climb to the roof. You should easily be able to get around without being detected.

---

---

Memory 3: The Worth Part of the World

---

---

• 100% Synch Requirement: Get in and out of the port without being detected.

The easiest way to get in and out is to hug the right wall and take the small alleyway toward the water. Don't worry if the indicators start to flash, just run for the water and jump in. Swim around to the far side of the boat and climb the bow. From here you should be able to take out the two guards onboard without being detected. Search for the scroll with Eagle Sense and then pick it up with O. Go back the same way you came and you should be fine.

---

---

Memory 4: Signs and Symbols, Part I

---

---

Getting to this memory is most of the fun. Once you are at the top, use Eagle Sense to identify your target. Do a Leap of Faith to get down and head for the waypoint.

---

---

Memory 5: Galata Tower

---

---

100% Synch Requirement	Complete the level within 6 minutes

Beating this in six minutes is really hard on your first try, but if you want to, follow this.

Descend the staircase and leap over to the platform. Guide Ezio as he falls and when you get control switch sides of the mechanism and climb up the back side. Continue to climb and then perform a back jump to one of the ledges. Head to the right and jump to the platform. Take the nearby zipline and head through the open doorway.

At the end of the tunnel, climb the wooden surface to your left (marked by a wheelbarrow of sorts) and then perform a long jump via the lamp. Cross the wooden beams and then right around the corner to back jump to a pole and swing. Head across the beams to the zipline.

The next part is pretty linear and the camera will show you where to go. Keep going for two more ziplines and then climb the wooden planks on the wall. Climb up until you can't anymore and then turn right and jump. After the cool little Unchartedesque scene, ride the zipline down.

Do a Leap of Faith and then get out of the water and follow the obvious path to your right, making sure to do a long jump from the lamp. Just keep climbing up and then to one side or the other when you can't go up anymore. You will eventually reach another zipline or three. When you reach the bottom, use Eagle Sense of the far right door.

---

---

Memory 6: The Mentor's Wake

---

---

100% Synch Requirement	Do not lose more than 3 synchronization points

Head for the waypoint and enjoy the conversation. After the scene you must disarm seven assassin. Altair will automatically drop it, so don't hit any directional keys and kill someone on accident. After another scene, you must make it to Abbas before the Apple kills him. Use the wooden platforms to reach a ladder and then climb the tower. Be careful, the Apple can cause you to fall when the pulse goes off.

Sequence 05

Heir to the Empire

---

---

Memory 1: The Janissaries

---

---

100% Synch Requirement	Distract 2 guards with bombs

Once you use Eagle Sense to identify Tarik, use the crowds to blend in and follow him. When he reaches his first destination outside the bazaar, hide in the nearby hay cart because he is going to turn around. Continue to follow him. When a scene mentions making sure he's not followed, use some Cherry Bombs from a blend spot to distract the guards. Keep following him and when you see a set of Romanies, hire them. At the first guard position, send the Romani to distract them. Continue to follow and when you see the Thieves, use them on the nearby guard station as well. When Tarik walks through the arch, head for the rooftops. Make sure to kill any sentries up there as you follow. Eventually, you will get a scene.

---

---

Memory 2: The Arsenal Gates

---

---

100% Synch Requirement	Make sure 40 or more rioters survive

Bribe the Heralds, as the game instructs and then head for Yusuf. When you have control again you will face two waves of soldier. I suggest you have all 3 assassin signals ready and a Crossbow or Throwing Knives full. When the first wave comes, call an assassin signal and shoot guards from a distance. On the second wave, make sure you call an assassin on the Janissary since he will kill civilians extremely fast. You should have no problem, if you call assassins and use ranged attacks.

---

---

Memory 3: Arsenal Infiltration

---

---

100% Synch Requirement	Perform an Air Assassination from a zipline

Use Eagle Sense to follow Manuel's trail through the conflicted area. When you reach a building with a large archway, away from the main fighting, take to the roofs. Head for the wall and follow it towards the waypoint. If you keep moving, the guards attention you get at the gate should leave you alone when you run out of view. Head back down to ground level when you reach the green zone.

After the scene run straight ahead across the poles in the water. Use Hook and Run to bypass the guard and then climb the tower. Use the zipline to do an air assassination on the boat and continue on.

---

---

Memory 4: Portrait of a Lady

---

---

100% Synch Requirement	Steal the painting without the merchant spotting you

This is an easy memory to complete with 100%. Simply head to the waypoint and use Eagle Sense to identify the thief and beat him up. Next, head to the shop owner. You can steal this many ways without being caught. You can draw him away from the shop by pickpocking him and then beating him up or you could use a Smoke Screen bomb. The choice is really yours, but afterwards head to Sofia.

---

---

Memory 5: Signs and Symbols, Part II

---

---

Do the same thing you have been doing for all the other Polo Symbols.

---

---

Memory 6: The Forum of the Ox

---

---

100% Synch Requirement	Do not take any damage

This area is mostly a free running challenge and is fairly straight forward. Head across the poles to get to the dock and head to the left, toward the flaming torches. From there, free run ahead and across some broken archways. Keep going and make a long jump at the lamp. When you have control, keep going. Follow the path, making long jumps when needed. When the camera turns to show you a way, follow it to a zipline. Make another long jump and continue. After the scene where they blow up the bridge, head across the burning poles and continue. Luckily, these guys are horrible shots. Keep going to another zipline and air assassinate them.

When you get control, draw your sword and guard. Use counter kills to take out the guards so you take no damage. Now use Eagle Sense on the wall behind you to locate the hidden door.

---

---

Memory 7: A New Regime

---

---

Follow Maria to meet with Abbas. When you have control, you can fight or run. Head for the upstairs part of the library to the large shining window to jump through it. Head for the next waypoint and meet Darim. Now make your way through the village, using Throwing Knives to kill anyone who gets in your way.

Sequence 06

Fortune's Disfavor

---

---

Memory 1: Into the Shadows

---

---

100% Synch Requirement	Assassinate a target from a hiding spot

The Janissary you seek is in the south of the search area. The key to getting the 100% sync is a cherry bomb and the haystack that is on the ground to the north of the target. The ottomans will not detect you if you don't do anything bad, so stand next to the haystack and when the patrols pass, use the cherry bomb on the haystack and hop in. Hopefully, the target is within range and will walk over. Grab him for the 100% and memory end. If other patrols come with him, target him and grab him before they catch you and you will be okay. Detection after the kill is okay.

---

---

Memory 2: Honor, Lost and Won

---

---

100% Synch Requirement	Perform an Air Assassination on Tarik

Follow the Janissaries and punch out the civilian who throws rocks at you. Once you reach the camp, you must stealth your way to the north section of the camp. While Janissaries will leave you alone, the Elites will not. Use blend spots and tents to make your way north undetected.

Head into the tent on your left and out the back. Use the walking Janissaries to get to get past the guard post.

On the other side, head for the tent on the right. Use the well, the haystack and the tent to kill all the guards over here. Now head for the tents on the left, going back the way you came. You should kill the guard near the scaffolding before trying to kill the one that walks by the first tent. You should easily be able to climb the scaffolding without being detected now.

In the third area, wait for the coast to be clear and head for the waypoint asap. When play resumes, use the walking Janissaries to head toward the wall on your left. You will need to time a trip across open area to get to the group next to the wall. When all guards are facing away from Ezio, free run up the boxes against the wall to the end and head right. You should eventually be directly above your target. When he walks close, air assassinate him.

---

---

Memory 3: Bearer of Mixed Tidings

---

---

100% Synch Requirement	Do not kill anyone

This will activate as soon as you enter the restricted area around the palace. Getting to Suleiman is actually easy, since there are plenty of Romanies around. Get out the same way you came in or another way, if you wish.

---

---

Memory 4: A Little Errand

---

---

Head to the waypoint and then follow the florist. Staying out of his sight is easy. When you reach the location, pick three tulips and head for Sofia.

---

---

Memory 5: Signs and Symbols, Part III

---

---

Do what you have done for all the previous signs and symbols.

---

---

Memory 6: The Maiden's Tower

---

---

100% Synch Requirement	Obtain the Masyaf Key without falling into water

Head to the waypoint and interact with the sewage drain and then head to the next drain to get into the lower chambers. Most of the puzzles down here are timed levers. Pull the lever near you and head up the wall to your left and to the next switch. After the cutscene, jump to the ledges on the block and head down, back jumping to the ledges below and shimmy around the corner to back jump again. Take the obvious path to another lever.

Pull the lever and climb the wall to Ezio's right and back jump to a pole and swing to a ledge. Perform a long jump and follow the path to activate the next lever and another cutscene.

Head to the next waypoint and another lever. Climb the wall that Ezio is facing and swing down to the next level to take a right. Take another right and use the stone arches to get to the ledges on the column. When you climb to the top, perform a back jump and shimmy around the corner to do another back jump. Now head to the other lever and another scene.

The next lever is right in front of you now. Use it and jump to the ledge on the hanging black. Shimmy around the side and when the camera indicates, back jump to a ledge. Run along it and swing to a ledge and shimmy right to perform a side jump to a beam. Head across the beams and then swing to the mechanism in the middle. Now use the obvious path, look for ledges in the black weights, to make your way to the key.

---

---

Memory 7: The Mentor's Return

---

---

100% Synch Requirement	Do not kill anyone except Abbas and his captains

Follow the assassin and when you have a chance, walk between the two captains for a double assassination. Follow the next captain and avoid killing anyone except him. The next captain will not bother you so simply walk past him and into the courtyard. After the scene, you can use assassin signals to attack anyone who comes after him. This will cause you to fail, so disarm or punch out anyone who comes looking for trouble as you head for Abbas. When you have control again, shoot him.

---

---

Memory 8: Setting Sail

---

---

100% Synch Requirement	Do not kill anyone with blades

After a conversation with Yusuf, head for the waypoint and hire the Romani group nearby to distract the guards. Run straight for the chain and interact with it before you get detected. After a cool scene, run past the guards and head straight for the canon waypoint. Use this to burn all the ships in the area to proceed. Follow the waypoints and you should make it through the memory just fine. Ignore any guards on your way to the ship.

Sequence 07

Underworld

After a quick conversation at Animus Island, head back into the portal for sequence 07.

Memory 1: The Hidden City

---

---

100% Synch Requirement	Do not get detected

Head up the hill to the waypoint. The enemies in the area will only be aggressive if you do something to provoke them, like being on the rooftops or attacking them. In order to get the 100%, simply be careful. Your objective is to climb the large column structure in the middle of the city. When you reach the top, sync the viewpoint and perform a leap of faith to get down. Use Eagle Sense to identify Tarik's spy and then follow her.

---

---

Memory 2: The Spy Who Shunned Me

---

---

100% Synch Requirement	Do not kill anyone

The steps to the prison are restricted area, so wait until there are no soldiers around and run up. After the scene, use the upper beams to leave the area the same way you came in. Head to the green zone and locate your target. Walk up behind him and lock onto him and then pick his pocket. Quickly run away so you aren't caught and head for the next waypoint.

There are now guards outside the restricted area, so you can either take the upper path we left on earlier or use a bomb to get past. Once inside, head for the waypoint to free the woman.

---

---

Memory 3: The Renegade

---

---

100% Synch Requirement	Do not let Janos lose more than half his health

The first thing you need to do is kill the four gunmen around the area. Free run across the tops of the broken pillars to hang on the one above the nearest gunman to air assassinate him. Then follow the path onward, killing the gunmen as you pass.

Walk out onto the cross to air assassinate Shahkulu below. In the following fight, fight the guards and Shahkulu like you would any normal fight with a Janissary type enemy.

---

---

Memory 4: Decommissioned

---

---

100% Synch Requirement	Do not take any damage

Follow the waypoints up the central column and across to the restricted area. This is where it gets dangerous. You should use bombs to take out the groups of enemies (I personally like sticky bombs in case the templars move). If you find yourself in a fight, use Caltrops or Smoke Bombs to incapacitate the guards and kill them that way. Loot the chest for the grenades and continue to the next waypoint.

---

---

Memory 5: Last of the Palaiologi

---

---

100% Synch Requirement	Do not take any damage

Getting 100% in this section can be easier than it sounds depending on the AI and enemies that are attacking you. As a general rule, you want to avoid the henchmen and follow Manuel. If you get unlucky and get shot, restart the memory. Eventually, you should get to the part where a scene shows the gate being shut behind Manuel. Ignore the guards and head for the gate, climbing it and continuing on. When you take on Manuel, a simple counter attack will kill him.

---

---

Memory 6: Escape

---

---

100% Synch Requirement	Do not lose more than half your health

The 100% should be no problem for those who are good at counter kills, but the trick is that it says Ezio's meter must not drop below 50%. This means you can heal yourself with medicine as much as you want, as long as the meter is never below 50%. As you run through the city, Ezio will gradually lose health and the smoke will become dense. You will need to use Eagle Sense to see where you are going and heal yourself regularily.

---

---

Memory 7: Passing the Torch

---

---

This is an easy chapter, simply escort your men to the gates and kill any enemies by holding down the attack button to unleash the power of the apple.

Sequence 08

The End of an Era

---

---

Memory 1: Discovery

---

---

100% Synch Requirement	If attacked, kill 5 guards in close combat without getting hit

Head to the back of the building and examine Yusuf's body. After the scene, drop down to street level and head inside the arsenal. You have infinite Assassin Signals, so use them whenever you want. To get the 100% can be a pain due to the other assassins, but there will be plenty of fight opportunities to get it. Head for Ahmet for a scene.

---

---

Memory 2: The Exchange

---

---

100% Synch Requirement	Rescue Sofia before she loses 50% health

Travel to Galata graveyard and watch the scene. Head to the waypoint to meet up with Ahmet. When you have control again you will need to climb Galata Tower in the given time. Experienced climbers should have no problem climbing it in half that. After the scene, jump off the ledge and head for the next waypoint. Avoid the bullets by veering left and right and when you get to Sofia save her.

---

---

Memory 3: End of the Road

---

---

100% Synch Requirement	Kill 20 guards

You have already done a carriage section before, so take the same principles and apply them here. When you reach the areas where only one carriage can pass safely, time your hits to occur just before you reach them. When a scene occurs, pay attention to the screen and when prompted open your parachute.

Now you must use the directions to avoid buildings while you guard Sofia by killing Templars on horseback. You can attack them all individually or grab and throw them into other Templars to kill two. Keep doing this until you reach the next scene.

In the unconventional fight that follows, follow the on screen prompts to defend and attack Ahmet.

Sequence 09

Revelations

Enjoy the scenes as you load into sequence 09.

---

---

Memory 1: A Homecoming

---

---

Walk with Sofia to the entrance of the underground. Continue on until you reach the library entrance. When you reach the door, interact with it to bring up the entrance puzzle. Use Eagle Sense to see the puzzle in its true form and solve it. The constellation you must complete is the top right one. Use the keys and rotate them to follow the lines already there.

Head into the library, automatically lighting the torches as you walk by. Approach the shining chair in the middle to trigger the next memory.

---

---

Memory 2: Lost Legacy

---

---

Follow the same path you just walked, but as Altair. If you wish, you can stop and listen to the dialogue. Head for the waypoint to hide the apple and then head to the chair and sit down.

---

---

Memory 3: The Message

---

---

Head to the back wall and find the apple. Watch the scenes and enjoy the credits. Afterwards, you will be in a pre-sequence 08 state where you can finish any missions you need.

Rebuilding Constantinople

Though you can make it through the whole game without taking part in these side story quests, they will endow you with the money for your equipment and upgrades.

The ability to renovate buildings and businesses is unlocked as early as Sequence 02, when Ezio receives his first payment. Although you start the game with once building of each type, it will quickly become a hassle to go all the way back to the same one.

Templar Dens

Liberating Templar Dens is the only way to enjoy some of the best parts of Revelations, including the 12 Master Assassin Missions.

As with the previous games, you must kill the Templar Captain in a restricted area surrounding a Den and then light the signal flare before you can conquer an area. Now not all captains are the same, some are cowards and will run at the sight of Ezio. Other captain types are bold and will fight Ezio to the end. Some captains are marked when you enter a restricted area, but some will remain unmarked and must be identified with Eagle Sight.

IMPERIAL NORTH DEN
Captain Type: Bold, Marked
Strategy: This is automatically taken over at the end of Sequence 02. This does not mean you can keep it forever, as the Templars can take it over at any time after Memory 4 in Sequence 03.
IMPERIAL SOUTH DEN
Captain Type: Bold, Unmarked (there are 2)
Strategy: The Marksman booths make it hard to approach the Den head on. A good plan is to use the tunnel entrance to reach the South Port destination and approach from the southwest. Climb the building nearby and kill the sentry on the rooftop. Take the ropes and use Eagle Sense to watch the path to the north. The hidden captains will pass by this position. Kill them with Poison Darts.
BAYEZID NORTH DEN
Captain Type: Coward, Unmarked
Strategy: Approach the Den from the south and stand on a rooftop. There may be a gunman up there. The captain will pass below you with a bodyguard. Identify him with Eagle Sense and then drop down and take him out before he can get away.
BAYEZID SOUTH DEN
Captain Type: Coward, Marked
Strategy: Approach from the southeast corner of the area and climb a building nearby. There is a group of four Templars nearby that you may need to distract or go further north. Kill the gunman without getting sighted and then wait for the captain. Another option is to take a Leap of Faith and hide in the hay and wait.
CONSTANTINE NORTH DEN
Captain Type: Coward, Marked
Strategy: The captain can be found on the rooftop in the south and he walks around a lot, making him hard to catch unaware. For this reason a direct attack is probably your best option. Your best option is to wait for assassins to be able to perform an Arrow Shower.
CONSTANTINE SOUTH DEN
Captain Type: Bold, Unmarked
Strategy: Approach from the east and kill the sentry and Templar to reach a zipline. Ride it at full speed and assassin the individuals at the end. One of these is the captain. There is a possibility that some other enemies may walk nearby and Ezio will target them instead.

Den Defense

Whenever the Templar Awareness meter is in the Aware status, doing certain things to increase the meter may provoke a Templar attack on an Assassin Den. This will shift the Den status to contested. This will cause enemies to spawn around the area of the den and you must infiltrate it and interact with the front door to trigger a Den Defense.

Why defend a den?

If you succeed in defending a den you get monetary rewards, crafting ingredients, XP for Ezio's assassins, and unlocks more units for future defenses. If you fail, you will need to recapture the den all over again.

What if you want to participate in more Den Defenses?

The quickest way to get another conflict is to fill up the awareness in any way you want and then enter a Templar Den and kill a few Templars in open combat. If all dens are in your control, pick on any Ottoman soldiers.

I hate Den Defense, how do I prevent one?

Assign an assassin to the den and complete both parts of his/her Master Assassin Missions training to lock the den.

Preparations

Before the battle, study the variety and number of enemies you will have to face. This will enable you to choose what units to defend. You can change your defense by using the Edit function.

Opening Tactics

When the battle begins, a risky opening strategy may help pay off for the rest of the fight. Depending on how many Morale points you start with, place two leaders on the rooftops asap. Quickly position a handful of crossbowmen on rooftops close to the first wave. Your aim is to have all available rooftops occupied by leaders to maximize Morale generation.

This strategy will leave you with few units defending at the start, so make sure to use Ezio's gun a lot and support the crossbowmen. If an early way have a large number of units, use a Cannon burst to destroy them all.

At the first chance, you should put up your best barricade to create a choke point close to your troops. Also make sure you don't upgrade the barricade until it is almost destroyed to maximize its health usage.

Midpoint Tactics

Whenever you are not positioning units, use Ezio's pistol or loot enemies.

Make sure to use the indicator to see upcoming units and watch out for stalkers or bombmen.

Make sure you place the stronger units where the Templar forces arrive and the cheaper ones on the rooftops nearby.

If you will be facing a siege engine, be careful with your cannon usage in the second part of the battle. Let it recharge and use it in short bursts.

Endgame

If you have a good build you should have plenty of Morale to upgrade some of your weaker units.

When the siege engine appears, blast it with Cannon fire. While it recharges put up barricades to slow it's progress.

Assassin Units
Name	Cost	Health	Melee Dmg	Ranged Dmg	Notes
Leader	10	150	50	-	Generates Morale every 10 secs
Crossbowmen	10	150	50	34	Place near enemy arrival as they be attacked first and are cheap.
Riflemen	15	150	50	90	Great against armored units. They are powerful, but slow.
Splinter Bomber	25	150	50	50	Good against large groups and great against siege engines.
Caltrop Bomber	15	150	50	25	Best when used at a barricade choke point and with Splinters.
Bruiser	10	150	150	-	Best behind barricades since they have 25% resistance to damage. Sell before siege engines.
Air Assassin	10	150	50	Kill	Only good against human enemies, but kill 2 instantly.

Assassin Barricades
Name	Cost	HP 1	HP 2	HP 3	Damage	Notes
Barricade	10/15	750	1,500	2,250	-	Useless once ones with weapons, but are good to slow down siege engines if funds are low.
Greek Fire	20/20	500	1,000	1,500	30 per	Poor range and damage, but cheap. Good against groups of weak enemies.
Multi-Barrel Gun Barricade	30/20	500	1,000	1,500	100 per	Better range and damage than above, but less effective against groups.
Cannon Barricade	40/25	750	1,500	2,250	200 per	Place it where it gets the most enemies and it will be like a free cannon shot.

Templar Units
Name	Health	Dmg on Assassins	Dmg on Barricades	Notes
Militia	34	35	7	Weak to Crossbowmen.
Almogavar	100	75	7	Weak to Riflemen.
Scout	80	75	-	Can climb barricades and attack units behind them.
Infiltrator	68	50	-	Can climb barricades and will go straight for the den.
Rifleman	68	50 Range	10	Weak to Air Assasins.
		25 Melee
Bombman	100	25	250	Make sure to take these out before they destroy your barricades.
Stalker	80	75	-	These are a top priority since they destroy your assassins.

Templar Siege Engines
Name	Health	Damage	Notes
Battering Ram	5,000	500 per attack	Can easily destroy any barricade.
Greek Fire	4,000	250 per sec	Inflicts heavy damage to everything.
Machine Gun	4,500	25 per shot	Provides covering fire for troops.
Cannon	4,500	800 per attack	Attacks from a distance at the den. You can distract them with armed barricades. I suggest you place two barricades back to back and upgrade them both once so when they are attacked you can upgrade it to heal it. When the front one is destroyed the engine shouldn't move as it attacks the back one. Replace the front one and upgrade it once and fix the back one. Keep doing this until it dies.

Mediterranean Defense

Unlocked in Sequence 03, the Mediterranean Defense is a huge source of income and needed in order to access the Master Assassin Missions.

Once you acquire your first assassin, you can liberate more areas and get more assassins. To access the Mediterranean Defense interface, either visit a pigeon coop throughout Constantinople of talk to one of the maps in the Assassin's Dens/HQ or Piri Reis's shop in Grand Bazaar.

When you open the interface you will have two options: Assassins and Mediterranean Defense. The Assassins menu enables you to look at your current list of assassins and spend Skill Points on armor and weapon upgrades. Assassins receive Skill Points every time they rank up by getting XP from Den Defenses or contracts. The contracts are what the Mediterranean Defense menu leads to. These contracts are missions you can send your assassins on.

Every potential mission has six primary characteristics:

Requirement

Some require a cash investment.

Difficulty

The difficulty is expressed through Odds of Success rating once you assign an assassin. There are two varieties of missions: Generic (marked with diamonds) are always replaced, and Unique (marked with stars) which you can only undertake once. The assassins rank will determine their success, but you can always assign more than one assassin on a mission.

Money

The money you receive upon success.

XP

The XP earned. This will be split between multiple assassins, if you assign more than one.

Synch Duration

The number of minutes of active play before the contract is completed.

Templar Control

Indicates the effect on Templar control in the city.

If you fail a mission the assassin will be killed, unless they are a Den leader, and must be replaced with a new recruit.

Each assassin comes with a specific weapon (randomly chosen when recruited) that is displayed below their picture. Some missions can only be undertaken if the assassin has a certain weapon.

Assassin Ranks
Level	Rank	XP	Level	Rank	XP
1	Recruit	0	9	Veteran	1,500
2	Initiate	10	10	Assassin	2,500
3	Apprentice	30	11	Assassin, 2nd Rank	3,800
4	Novice	80	12	Assassin, 3rd Rank	5,600
5	Footpad	180	13	Assassin, 4th Rank	8,000
6	Disciple	350	14	Assassin, 5th Rank	11,000
7	Mercenary	600	15	Master Assassin	15,500
8	Warrior	1,000

Assassin Upgrades

4	Damage x3

5	Damage x4
	Improves Counter Kills

Recruiting Assassins

When you liberate Templar Dens and have free space in your roster, you will see assassin recruit markers in Assassin control areas.

There are two types of recruit assassin scenarios: six short Secondary Memories and tell the short stories of individual recruits. These count toward the 100% synch rating. There is also generic recruit opportunities, much like the ones in Brotherhood, that appear on the map. Save them from the Templars and they will pledge themselves to you.

In order to get the generic recruitments you will need to complete a nearby Assassin Memory. Unlike the Assassin Memories, which only increase the Templar awareness depending on your actions in combat, the generic recruitments will raise Templar awareness.

Memory Name	Availability
The Brawler	Capture Constantine North Den
The Pupil	Capture Constantine South Den
The Avenger	From Sequence 03, Memory 3
The Acrobat	Capture Bayezid South Den
The Beggars	Capture Imperial South Den

The Trickster, Part 1
Assign a Leader to the Constantine North Den
Unlocks Mehmet's Dagger at the Assassin HQ

The Champion, Part 2
Train the Bayezid South Den Leader to Lvl 14, with a full XP
-
Make sure you have bombs with Impact Shells and Stink Bombs. Walk with your Den Leader, to watch a scene with the Herald. When the Templars come attack, throw a Stink Bomb next to the Herald and kill the attackers. Keep tossing bombs, making more in the weapon menu if needed, until the Champion appears. Move into the marked position to distract him and then tap the Assassin Signal to make your apprentice take the kill.

The Guardian, Part 1
Assign a Leader to the Constantine South Den
-
Kill any Templars that attack you while you escort the Den Leader to the market. Approach the waypoint marker and then scan the chests in the area. Speak to the highlighted merchant and then follow your Den Leader to the next area. When you reach the rich man's house, be careful not to be detected. Stay on the roofs and use your Assassin Signals, Throwing Knives, and Crossbow to take out enemies. When you clear the way, drop down and talk to the man.
The Guardian, Part 2
Train the Constantine South Den Leader to Lvl 14, with a full XP

Once the cutscene ends, follow the rich man from a safe distance. After the meeting, tail the man and the Byzantine soldier and when they approach a guard post climb the building. Once the game indicates for you to chase the soldier, do so and kill him. Sprint to the waypoint and assassinate the Templar as he runs away.

The Vizier, Part 1
Assign a Leader to the Imperial North Den
-
Walk with the Den Leader until you head out in a race. After the scene, don't rush after the courier and follow from a safe distance. Join the Den Leader to observe the events and then chase the courier. Killing him yourself will get you a full Templar Awareness meter, but you can sweep his legs and your Den Leader will inflict the death kill. Head to the waypoint and speak to the man.
The Vizier, Part 2
Train the Imperial North Den Leader to Lvl 14, with a full XP
-
This starts with a race to find your Den Leader. For the 100% you will need to find him in a minute with no conflict. Use Eagle Sense to follow the gold trail and hire the Thieves near the Grand Bazaar to distract the guards. Run down the first corridor heading south then take the first right. Blend with the civilians to pass the next set of guards and take the next left, then right. You are headed for the open courtyard east of the Blacksmith.

The Thespian, Part 1
Assign a Leader to the Imperial South Den
-
While your Den Leader suggests that you cover from the roofs, getting the 100% is easier at street level. Stay out of sight when the woman turns around, but ahead of your assassin. Kill any guard along the path before they attack. When your assassin leaves the streets, you are out of danger. Follow you Den Leader into the Hippodrome for a scene. When the girl disappears, drop down, head through the arch and down the left wall.
The Thespian, Part 2
Train the Imperial South Den Leader to Lvl 14, with a full XP
-
Follow your Den Leader. After the cutscene you will need to hurry to reach the target first. You can use the zipline when your Leader uses a Parachute.

Secret Locations

Hagia Sophia's Secret

Requirement: Collect all 10 Memoir Pages

100% Synch Requirement	Complete the level within 6 minutes

After you collect all 10 pages, you can reach this location via a door to the right of the main Hagia Sofia entrance, found on the northeast side of the building.

From the starting point, climb over the obstacle in front of you and then up the west wall. Shimmy around the corner and back jump to the next ledge. Shimmy around it and back jump to another ledge. Shimmy left until the camera changes and back jump to the chandelier. From there go across the wooden beam into another room.

After the scene, use the boxes to climb the wall and back jump to the chandelier. Head from chandelier to chandelier until you reach a ledge. Follow the path to a zipline.

Scale the scaffold and head to the left to reach an opening in the railing and climb up. If you have time there is a Bomb Stash to open in the northwest corner. Run through the archway to the east and perform a long jump on the hanging fixture to reach the opposite balcony. There is another Bomb Stash close to the east wall here. Climb up the boxes to a ledge at the south and follow the route to back jump to a chandelier and take a zipline to reach the west balcony.

Use the wooden beams to cross the hole in the floor to the south and perform a long jump to swing over another. Head through the archway and climb over the obstruction to the left. Jump over to the beam to the north via the barrels and head up the left wall. Back jump, making sure to use the hookblade, onto a platform behind you. Follow the cameras line of view to go up the wooden planks to the ceiling. Shimmy left and back jump to another chandelier and take the zipline.

After you land, head to the very top of the scaffold and make your way to the right until you reach the high ledge. Climb to the top and perform a back jump to another chandelier and across to the waypoint. Perform a Leap of Faith into the pool after a cutscene and open the treasure chests before interacting with the sarcophagus to claim Ishak Pasha's Armor.

The Impaler's Tomb

Requirement: Only available as a preorder bonus in some editions.

100% Synch Requirement	Complete the level within 6 minutes

Once you have unlocked this location, interact with the book in Sofia's Bookshop. Once you do this, head to the cemetery in the south of the Constantine district and enter the door at the Hidden Tomb marker.

Once inside, free run on the short course directly ahead and to the left. When you reach the upper level, take a right and then left. Swing down to the lower level and continue west until you reach an opening on the south wall (by climbing on a box). Follow the route and bypass the locked gate and perform a side jump from the ledge to reach the platform to the right and ride the zipline down. In the next area, follow the path to reach an opening in a wall (by using the boxes to get higher and making your way around and back jumping to a platform) and swing via the pole to reach the lower level.

Use the boxes to get on the upper area and follow the path and execute a long jump (hit O after jumping) when you get to the hanging fixture to reach a balcony. Perform a Leap of Faith from the perch and swim to a ledge to follow the tunnel (watching out for pits) until you come to a room and past it, a staircase.

Climb over the gate and then head west to reach a large room. Climb the north wall and use the ledges and platforms to get to the large arch to the south. Side jump to the ledge nearby and then to the platform. Follow the path and jump onto the suspended cage and move to the left, around a corner, and climb to the top via the door.

Next, climb the shaft via the drain and jump over the sewer opening to the south and climb on the wooden beam above. Now, jump over the north and ascend until the camera angle changes to show you where to go. Use the wooden framework to the south to begin the last part of the climb to reach an opening to the north. Back jump from the chain to get to the balcony and run down the steps. Loot the stone container to get Vlad Tepe's Sword.

Desmond's Journey

This set of optional adventures will reveal elements of Desmond's life via a first-person perspective, with a focus on action-oriented puzzles. They are unlocked by collecting Animus Data Fragments as Ezio and can be accessed by the giant portals on Animus Island. You can enter Animus Island by using the Pause menu and select "Return to Animus Island".

Part 1: Doubts

Head straight ahead and when you reach the bottom turn left into a room with a hand pointing up. Interact with this to open a nearby shining door and head inside.

Listen to Desmond talk about his childhood and then take a right up a ramp to the upper level. Interact with the hand to open another door.

Continue on, down a column to some moving platforms. Ride these up to another level and continue. Drop down in the next room and follow the highlighted platforms to ride one up and activate another hand.

Drop down and follow the newly formed path. When you reach a platform moving up and down, jump across to activate the shiny hand.

Ride the platform up and take the ramp to the portal. Now use the spawn blocks to make your way across the gap. Drop down as far as you can and then use the flat block to make your way to the other side, you will probably need to aim the camera low to place blocks far below you and drop down. Pick up the MULTIPLAYER EMBLEM 1 and the use the ramp blocks to head up.

This will lead you back to chamber 1. Now head back to the room just past the one with the farm. At the top of the column, next to the door you should find the MULTIPLAYER EMBLEM 2. Now head back to chamber 1 and through the portal.

Part 2: Training

Walk along the corridor and then use ramps to get to the beam in the middle of this room. You will now need to head for the exit in the middle top of this room, but you will be moving against a particle stream, so go fast. Use the next particle stream to ascend to the next area. Use the ramps to ascend the next room to the opening at the top and continue on.

In the next area you will need to avoid the data cubes and make it to the other side. I suggest you go low first and then across. When you reach the data section that is running down, wait for the largest section to pass and then make your way across to an opening at the bottom of the room.

The next area has containment field, which basically act as gravity for blocks. Head to the end of the room and drop down the hole. As you get close to the ledge below, place a block to halt your fall and continue on.

The particle field here will push down, but no biggy. Simply use them to get to the platform already in place and walk to the next particle field. Here you can place ramps going up and just go back and forth until you reach the top. If you look above the particle field you will notice the MULTIPLAYER EMBLEM 3.

The next major room will mix particle fields and containment fields. Instead of going across, you need to go up and over the containment field and drop down into another particle field to get across. Then you will need to get up the wall on your left as you ascend and are forced away from the exit. Head into the room and immediately start making ramps behind you to get up there.

In the next area the trick again is to go up and over. Do what you did before when you went across and dropped back into a particle field. The next particle field will veer left and right as it ascends. If you get luckily, you can place a block in the right spot and ride it all the way up. Try not to over correct, as the stream may shift and put you into some data cubes.

In the next chamber, grab the MULTIPLAYER EMBLEM 4 behind the pictures of Desmond's childhood before heading down the particle field. This part can be rough, but just remember that only parts of your blocks that hit the data cubes are erased.

Part 3: Escape

Use a platform or two to get across the gap to a containment field. Drop through it and as soon as you pass it place a block. You should hear/see the MULTIPLAYER EMBLEM 5 on top of the beams nearby. Now make your way to the shiny hand on the other side of the room. Head up to the beams so you can pass the containment field and get to the new doorway.

Use some platforms to get to the opening on the left wall and into a new room. This room has a moving containment grid. Wait for it to move away to get across to the solid ground. The next room has even more moving containment grids. It isn't nearly as complicated as it looks by the way. Since the containment grids are only a cell wide and move past you, you can power your way through by making blocks for the ones that are destroyed.

The next area is pretty straight forward, just follow the field as you avoid walls and the data cube stream below. When you reach the end, start making platforms to your right until you are out of the data stream and head for the exit. Before you leave, head over to the crisscrossed beams for MULTIPLAYER EMBLEM 6.

The next area isn't hard at all, just place the ramps as the containment grid heads down and you can make it across easy. The next few passages are not so bad either, just drop when you down on the other side of a containment field and head back up. In one of the areas you can use the grey data cubes as safe ground.

Part 4: Metropolis

Head straight and when the containment array opens, head on through quickly. Head up and at the next set of rays, wait until all all aiming at the walls instead of the set that runs down the middle. On the third set just make sure you are as close to the beams as possible before rushing though at an opening.

As soon as you enter the room with the static arrays, look left to see the MULTIPLAYER EMBLEM 7. Make your way through the maze, going up and over when needed, until you reach the end. Rush past the on and off array and then look down. You need to time your drops so you can drop through the arrays field when it's off and make a platform. Do this a few times to get to the bottom.

In the next area, walk across the light bridge until you get blocked. Now you must make your way around the chamber in a counter- clockwise way using the particle fields and avoiding the containment ones. Interact with the shiny hand to remake the light bridge.

The trick to the next area is to stick to the right wall and go forward as to array moves away to the left. Make sure you start low so you can grab the MULTIPLAYER EMBLEM 8 and then use ramps to get to the exit.

Part 5: Regret

Head straight into the elevator and hit the shiny hand button. Ride the particle field up and then make your way through the maze using platforms and ramps. When you are walking across the data cube walkway, look to your left for MULTIPLAYE EMBLEM 9 and continue.

In the new area with the moving containment fields, use platforms while moving left and right to avoid the fields and activate the shiny button on the other side. In the downward particle field, use platforms and a few ramps to get to the other side while avoiding the data blocks. The final area here is a large section of containment fields that move back and forth. What you have to do is wait until it gets close and then follow it. When it starts to head back, duck into an alcove on the right. Wait for it to go past again and then run away from it to the end. Head left and hop in the elevator and hit the button.

Ride the particle field up and head right out of the elevator and then left. To get past the next area, just create you path along one wall. The next set of fields mimics slamming gate and you will need to time your moved to rush past during its opening and then head left out of the field. Now you must make your way forward against the particle stream, but this should be easy by now.

In the last room, hug the left wall and look up to see the MULTIPLAYER EMBLEM 10. Get it and then jump into the final portal out.

Weapons

Every melee weapon is rated by three things: Damage, Speed and Deflect. These define the effectiveness of the weapon in combat. The higher the rating in each category, the better the weapon is overall.

Damage

Determines the strength of each successful hit

Speed

Let's Ezio attack faster and more often

Deflect

Determines the weapons ability to block enemies attacks when they attack

Special attacks and the number of blows required to kill an opponent with a combo assault are also important factors to take into account when choosing a weapons.

Finishing Blows: Combo Requirements
Fists	5
Hidden Blade/Hookblade	4
Small Weapons	3
Medium Weapons	3
Heavy Weapons	2
Long Weapons	2

Special Attacks

These "charge-up" techniques are unique to certain weapon classes. Heavy and Long weapons share the Throw move, with Long weapons also offering the Sweep attack. Fists offer you to Throw Sand.

Combo Efficiency

Weapon classes differ in the number of hits required for a finishing blow. While size of a weapon will also have a bearing on its efficiency in both combos and streaks.

• Parachuting onto a zipline isn't what it sounds like. You have to parachute above a zipline, drop and grab onto the line. This is easy, really. Just remember to tap the release and then hold it down to grab the zipline.

Multiplayer

Because the game makes you go through a tutorial already, and the controls are the same as the story ones, I will skip into information that is new to Revelations and was not in Brotherhood, while highlighting information the you should take into account.

Game Modes

• These are simple tutorials that you need to finish before playing. Although you only need to do them once, you can do them multiple times to try out different methods.

Introductory Session 1 & 2
Players	1
Duration	Infinite
Objective	Practice kills, stuns, and escapes.

• Non-competitive mode, you can use this to learn the lay of the land and how to use your abilities.

Training Ground
Players	1-8
Duration	Infinite
Objective	Find and kill assigned targets in any way you see fit.

• The higher you are ranked, the more pursuers will be on you.
• Use the compass to determine where your enemy is going to be going and cut him off with death.
• Blend into crowds with persona of the same type as you to lure your pursuers to kill them instead of you.

Wanted
Players	4-8
Duration	10 minutes
Objective	Achieve the highest score by killing assigned targets while avoiding death yourself.

• Hide with personas like yours or allies to blend in.
• Hiding near your team will grant a bonus for each person in the group. It will also help by having you and your teammates stun incoming groups of enemies.* Morph is a great tool for hiding, while Firecrackers will help you identify your targets from civilians. Throwing Knives are great for stopping targets that decide to run.

Manhunt
Players	4-8 (2 groups)
Duration	2 rounds / 5 mins
Objective	Achieve the highest team score, hiding together as targets and performing valuable kills as hunters.

• As soon as you identify a target, use L1 to lock onto and hunt them.
• When you lock on an enemy you will no longer be seen on their compass but you will also not see any other Templars. Making you an easytarget for them and not even knowing it.
• You can identify your pursuer by locking onto them and expose them. This allows you to stun them.

Assassinate
Players	4-8
Duration	10 minutes
Objective	Identify, acquire and assassinate the target of your choice to achieve the highest score.

• When Corrupted, kill your enemies as fast as you can so they don't score.
• When Uncorrupted, hide and survive as long as possible.
• Defense Abilities such as Decoy, Morph and Bodyguard are great for hiding.

Corruption
Players	4-8
Duration	3 rounds / 5 mins
Objective	Achieve the highest score.

• Exactly like Wanted, but with no compass and no duplicate Personas.
• Abilities that change your persona or make more of your persona are the key to surviving longer.

Deathmatch
Players	4-8
Duration	10 minutes
Objective	Achieve the highest score by killing assigned targets.

• This is the same as normal deathmatch, but you can't use abilities.

Easy Deathmatch
Players	4-8
Duration	10 minutes
Objective	Achieve the highest score by killing assigned targets.

• This is like the traditional capture the flag.
• Inside your territory you are a pursuer, but in theirs you are a target.
• Getting too close to your base will cause your compass to blur.

Artifact Assault
Players	4-8 (2 groups)
Duration	10 minutes
Objective	The team with the highest number of captured artifacts wins.

• Once you get the artifact you will remain a target until you are killed and lose the artifact.
• If you run with the artifact, a cursor will appear above you for your pursuers.
• Hiding gives you a much better bonus than running.

Steal the Artifact
Players	4-8
Duration	10 minutes
Objective	Steal the artifact and keep it for as long as you can to achieve the highest score.

• Using ranged attacks will help you kill VIPs without being killed.
• Communication is key. Coordinate your attacks and defense of the VIPs by spreading out.
• You have no Approach Meter when you defend, so don't worry.

Escort
Players	4-8 (2 groups)
Duration	2 rounds / 5 mins
Objective	Achieve the highest score by killing VIPs or by escorting them to checkpoints.

• This is similar to Domination in Call of Duty. It takes less time to capture together than alone.

Chest Capture
Players	4-8 (2 groups)
Duration	2 rounds / 5 mins
Objective	Achieve the highest score by capturing the enemy team's chests, and killing members of the opposing team before they reach yours.

Scoring

Although getting kills is what gets you points, the way you get the kills is the real way to score. If you kill a player by openly running up to them you will probably only score 100 pts, but if you stalk them or kill them from cover you will get a bonus for being so clever.

Crafting Abilities

Every crafting requires you to pay crafting points (obtained after rank 30) and some Abstergo credits.

You can upgrade the following things:

Range

The range of the ability, such as the area effect of a Smoke Bomb or the distance of Charge.

Duration

How long the effect will last.

Delay

The time the ability takes to engage.

Cooldown

The time you must wait before being able to activate the ability again. Ability upgrades, perks, and streaks can all decrease a cooldown.

Execution Time

The time it takes to perform the ability.
