After the introduction cutscene ends, keep heading onwards while successively opening the gates on your way.
That way you will reach a room where Desmond will use the first power source and he will be moved to the Animus.
The training course will require you to follow the green points showing you the way. You need to run towards them while holding down the free run button. That way Desmond will automatically pass all obstacles on his way.
Climb the ledges onto the upper level of the complex.
Optional objective: Perform an air assassination.
Head onwards all the time until you receive a task of killing an enemy from above. It's an optional objective, completing which isn't crucial for completing the whole mission, though by performing all of them you will earn a full synchronization.
To perform an air assassination, head to the end of the end of the beam hanging above the enemy and press the attack button. Desmond will then jump down onto the enemy, taking care of him immediately. Kill the second soldier in the same fashion as well.
Head onwards and you will reach two narrow beams. You will need to jump down form one of them. During free run, Desmond will always hesitate to perform any jumps which can be dangerous for him, though you can force him by pressing the jump button.
Below, turn left and keep heading onwards. If the road ends, jump to the other side.
That way you will reach a spot where Desmond will step into the shoes of a new character. Head to the end of the path and open the door with the interaction button to begin another mission.
As the sequence begins, keep heading onwards until an opera employee blocks your path. Go inside the row on the left and sit down on the only free place.
During the conversation you will have to use the Eagle Vision and look at the man sitting in the loge on the right.
After regaining control over your character, head left. There you will find a ladder using which you can get onto the wall of the opera hall.
You need to sneak between the balconies to the right. If you find it impossible to move further into that direction, try climbing one level higher and follow the green point. Eventually you will reach an empty loge.
To the right there's a door which you have to open with a lockpick. Press the interaction button to begin an easy mini-game.
Start off by moving the left and afterwards the right analog stick until both lockpicks are in proper positions. With the lockpicks adjusted properly, keep holding the sticks and start pressing the free run button. That way you will open the lock.
On the other side of the door, jump onto the element of the scenography and head further to the left.
That way you will reach a ladder which you have to climb back up.
From there, jump onto the wooden moon and head to the left edge of the scene.
Behind the door you will find your victim.
Kill the man with the attack button and afterwards move through the crowd to the opera exit, pointed by the green marker. The mission will end as you enter your carriage.
After regaining control of your character, head onto the ship deck and speak with the marked men on your way.
After reaching your destination, you will be attacked by one of the crew members.
Optional objective: Limit Health Loss to less than 10%
Firstly you will learn how to parry enemy attacks by holding down the parry button. Your character will automatically reflect all hits.
After performing three blocks, attack the enemy with the attack button.
In the second fight, use the parry button again but this time press it right before getting hit. Slow motion will turn on and you will be able to perform a fast counterattack (attack button).
After getting beaten up yet again, the sailor will take out a knife and will try to kill you. Disarm him with the jump button right after parrying (during slow motion). That way you will end the brawl.
After a short conversation with the captain you can head to sleep to your cabin or play some logic games (marked on the map with dices).
Their rules will be explained in details before the game begins.
As the next day begins, head out of your cabin and speak with the marked crew members. After speaking to the last of them, you will be able to choose whether to speak with the doctor or the cook. The choice doesn't influence the further events in any way, but you will hear a slightly different dialogue in each case.
After hearing one of the men out, head to a man named James.
Afterwards check out the stern and go below the deck.
At the marked spot you will need to use Eagle Vision and examine the shining barrel on the right.
You however won't be able to learn why someone is throwing cargo off the ship, so return to your cabin and get some sleep.
After a couple days the ship will be attacked and you will get locked below deck, where you will have to fight with a mysterious crew member. In order to kill him, parry right before being hit and press the attack button when time slows down. That way you will end the fight instantly.
Afterwards a cutscene will begin, after which you will have to secure the riggings. Run from one point to the other and press the interaction button to perform the necessary actions.
The last point can be found on one of the masts. Climb it using the ropes and set the sail.
Optional objective: Rescue James under 40 seconds.
Optional objective: Completed all the constraints in one playthrough.
Then you will see James hanging above the deck with last bits of strength. Hold down the free run button and run forward. If you do it fast enough, you will not only save him, but also complete the additional objective.
After the storm ends, head onto the deck and speak with the captain. He will send you to the top of the mast, from where you will be able to see land.
The sequence will soon come to an end.
After landing in Boston, follow your companion.
He will eventually leave you. Turn on the map and head to the marked spot.
There you will meet Benjamin Franklin, who will give you an additional mission of collecting the lost pages from his almanac. A description of their locations can be found in the chapter of this guide dedicated to collectibles.
I'd recommend taking care of that later on and for now enter the nearby shop to buy a sword and a pistol.
Equipped with them, you can get onto a horse and head to the "Green Dragon" inn with Lee, where on the upper floor you will meet William Johnson.
After speaking with Johnson, leave the inn and speak with Hickey beside the building.
Optional objective: Kill 10 mercenaries using firearms.
Soon enough you will have to shoot one of the enemies with the secondary attack button. Your main objective is retrieving the stolen chest and optionally killing 10 enemies with firearms. In order to complete the optional objective, always begin with shooting your pistol and try reloading as fast as possible so that you can shoot again before enemies can get nearby you.
After eliminating the first target, climb onto the wall before you and shoot another enemy on the left. Afterwards you should target the group of soldiers below. Two companions will aid you in this fight.
With the area cleared, blow up the nearby gate by shooting the gunpowder barrels on the cart.
Inside the fort you will find the chest you're looking for.
As you approach it, more mercenaries will appear. Shoot the first one and finish off the others with your sword.
After defeating the group, you should receive another objective - you can't let your companions lose more than 50% of their life points. Before leaving the fort, collect items lying by the enemy bodies. For that you need to hold down the interaction button.
Optional objective: Do not let Johnson or Hickey lose more than 50% of their health.
Optional objective: Completed all the constraints in one playthrough.
Head to the marked destination with your companions. From time to time you will be attacked by mercenaries. You should always begin with shooting your pistol and then eliminating the other enemies in melee combat.
Your last target should be the soldiers shooting from roofs of the nearby buildings. After you eliminate all the other enemies, they shouldn't be too much of a threat for Lee and Hickey who will be hidden behind covers.
After reaching the designated spot, the mission will come to an end.
After meeting with the Templar, leave the inn and head to Church's place together with Lee. As you get there, it will turn out that the man has been kidnapped.
To find him, you need to eavesdrop on the neighbours of the abducted, marked on the map. For that, enter the circle displayed around them.
As you're eavesdropping, you cannot be noticed by civilians, so hide between the men leaning against the wall on the right.
After they stop talking, you will receive a mission of climbing onto the top of the nearby church.
Climb to the top and press the interaction button. That way you will synchronize and discover a big part of the map. There are many such points in the game, marked with an eagle icon on the map.
Optional objective: Eavesdrop on a moving group of guards.
Optional objective: Do not fail a single eavesdrop.
Optional objective: Completed all the constraints in one playthrough.
With the synchronization complete, jump onto the haystack (press the free run and jump button at the same time). You will receive two additional objectives: you need to eavesdrop on the moving groups of guards and not fail any chance.
First four groups will be marked with orange dots, but after eavesdropping on one of them the others will disappear.
Your main target should be the soldiers left of the church, as only they are moving. That way you will complete the first additional objective.
After the first eavesdrop, head to the green circle marked on the map. Search the designated area and you will find another group of soldiers. Approach them and sit on the nearby bench to mix into the crowd.
Further people to eavesdrop on can be found in the second green area. After listening to the whole conversation, you will complete the additional objective.
Not together with Lee you have to sneak to the marked red zone. Within it, guards are very suspicious and will start chasing you on sight, so be very careful. You can give your companion some easy order with the interaction button, telling him either to follow you or stay where he is.
You can also point to a hiding place (aim button) and tell Lee to hide there (interaction button).
In order to reach the suburb warehouse unnoticed, go round the red zone from the north.
Optional objective: Remain undetected.
You will come across only one patrol there. Hide in the bushes and head to the door after they disappear. Unfortunately it will turn out to be locked.
The key is in possession of three guards in the area. The easiest to steal from is the one on the right. Firstly lure the man walking around the warehouse and kill him with the hidden blade. Afterwards sneak to the target and hold down the interaction button to get the item.
In order to complete the additional objective, you have to remain undetected.
Having obtained the key, enter the marked warehouse where you will find three men torturing Church.
Kill the two closest enemies together with Lee and afterwards get rid of the third one to finish this chapter.
After the conversation in the inn, head to the man called Pitcairn together with Charles.
There you will witness a quarrel which will end with the soldier you're looking for getting imprisoned.
Optional objective: Limit detection time to 15 seconds or less
You will now have to follow his escort while making sure not to be detected and not losing the sight of him for more than 15 seconds.
If one of the soldiers notices you, a yellow triangle will appear above his head, eventually changing to red. If you want to complete the additional objective, you cannot let the guards look at you for more than 15 seconds. The total time of all the enemies stacks up. If the red triangle fills up completely, you will fail the mission.
Follow the group while trying to keep distance and hide behind walls and between groups of people.
Eventually you will reach a place where Lee will draw the enemies' attention and start running away. Chase him.
Optional objective: Perform sequential combo kills - 3.
Optional objective: Prevent snitches from calling for reinforcements.
Optional objective: Completed all the constraints in one playthrough.
After reaching the destination, you will have a short conversation and a fight with British soldiers. The fight itself isn't hard, but you will have to focus if you want to complete the optional objectives.
The first you have to do is kill the enemy marked with a red dot with a white border. That way you will prevent him from calling in reinforcements.
The second objective is performing a combo of three kills. In order to do that, you need to lead out a counterattack which will kill the enemy and afterwards quickly press the attack button while leaning the analog stick towards another soldier. If you see that someone's trying to attack you, parry him to continue the combo.
After the last soldiers is killed, approach Braddock and end the mission.
The mission will begin with an attack on a convoy. Pick up the rifle from the roof with the interaction button and use it to shoot one of the soldiers on the street. Afterwards you can jump down and get rid of the others together with your companions.
With the last enemy dead, you will take control of the carriage.
Your task now will only be to press the Assassins Guild button at the right time to get rid of the British soldiers guarding the road.
Optional objective: Find and kill the general.
Optional objective: Perform stealth assassinations from a corner spot - 3.
After a short ride you will eventually reach the enemy camp, where prisoners are held. Your main mission is rescuing them while not letting the guards notice you. You will also receive two additional objectives: kill the general marked on the map and assassinate three soldiers from behind a corner.
Firstly take care of the general. He can be found to the right of the camp entrance.
He's walking beside the stocks, nearby the stone wall.
Sneak in there from the side and observe the enemy's walking pattern. As he moves away from the prisoner, assassinate the soldier building stocks and hide behind a pile of crate nearby. From there you will be able to kill the general, but only after a big group of soldiers return to their position.
After eliminating him, head back to the camp entrance. From there you should approach the first prisoner on the left and hide in the bushes beside a pile of crates.
The guard guarding the Indians will pass beside the crates and stop for a moment. Use that time to hide behind the crates, whistle and kill the enemy.
With the man dead, free the prisoners.
Right after opening the first stocks, you need to quickly run to the end of the stone wall of the left.
If you're fast enough, you should get there before the next guard shows up there. When the enemy approached the wall, kill him with a hidden blade.
The next group of prisoners are held on the ship. In order to save them, swim to the other side of the boat and grab onto it where one of the soldiers is. You will be able to quickly kill him and drop into the water below.
After he's dead, go lower and wait for the second guard to return to his position.
Board the ship and hide behind the cargo. Whistle from there and get rid of him to save the Indians.
The last group of prisoners can be found nearby the first. Approach them from the left, going between tents and bushes and wait for the guard to leave. That way you will be able to finish this part of the mission.
After a short cutscene you will be attack by British soldiers. Don't try to fight them now, instead keep pressing the jump button to grab the nearest enemy and block the rifle shots with his body.
Optional objective: Avoid firing line damage.
Optional objective: Completed all the constraints in one playthrough.
Now your main task will be killing Silas, who's hiding inside the fort. It's not all that difficult, as you just have to run to the map (he's marked on the map) and stick a hidden blade in his stomach to end the mission. You don't need to worry about the enemies you come across on your way.
Things will be more difficult if you decide to complete the additional objective of avoiding any enemy fire. To complete it, after killing the first enemy you have to quickly run to the group of soldiers waiting for you by the fort entrance.
You need to use one of them (by pressing the jump button) to block the attack of the riflemen line standing in the gate. Afterwards quickly attack the enemies.
Fight with them just for a couple seconds so that they stop reloading their guns and afterwards immediately run up the stairs on the left to reach Silas. Kill the enemy with a counterattack to end the sequence.
To begin the mission, use fast travel to move to the Frontier and meet with Charles Lee there.
Get onto the horse and follow your companion until you come across traces of an Indian woman.
The path in the snow will lead you to a woman, who will start running at sight.
Optional objective: Limit health loss - 50%.
Follow her to a camp where you will be attacked by wolves.
In order to protect yourself from their attacks, you will need to press the buttons prompts on the screen. If you miss one of them, the wolf will knock you down to the ground and try to bite through your throat. Start pressing the displayed button to free yourself. If you want to complete the additional objective, you won't be able to make a single mistake at all. It's not that simple, but you should get a feel of it after a couple times. Remember that the combinations are random, though they usually begin with the parry button.
After defeating the first group of animals, you will have to find the Indian woman again. She can be found behind a tree in the marked green area.
As you approach her, the woman will start running away. Catch and speak to her and eventually meet on the nearby rock.
After some further talking, head with her to the inn marked on the map.
Inside you will get a mission of eavesdropping on two groups of soldiers.
While spying on the men on the right, you should stand by the bar. With the left group, lean against the wall by the window.
Optional objective: Use breakable objects during a fight - 2.
Optional objective: Completed all the constraints in one playthrough.
After listening to both groups, head to the exit. Unfortunately right beside the door you will be stopped by some British who you will have to beat.
Try using counterattacks as much as possible. That way you will complete the additional objective by destroying the two nearby tables. After the fight, the mission will end.
In order to begin this mission, speak with Zio who is waiting for you in the Frontier woods.
After a short talk, head onto the road on the left and hide inside the carriage.
That way you will get behind the palisade.
Optional objective: Do not kill any guards.
After you leave your cover, head between the bushes to the men marked orange. You need to eavesdrop on their conversation.
In order to do that, follow them while making sure the don't notice you. Also look out for one of the guards patrolling the area. The best hideout are bushes and haystacks.
After they head onto the upper level, climb the nearby ladder and jump down from the roof into the haystack below.
Soon enough your main target - in the form of a map held inside the nearby tent - will be marked with a green dot.
In order to get it, sneak into the bushes on the left and knock out the nearby guard bare-handed. Only if you don't kill any guards will you complete the additional objective. After the man falls to the ground, steal the map by holding down the interaction button.
Optional objective: Sabotage cannon - 2.
Optional objective: Completed all the constraints in one playthrough.
Now you can leave the camp and end the mission or sabotage 2 s. To destroy the first one, head into the bushes nearby the guard on the wall and wait for him to turn his back on you.
He will give you a couple seconds to approach and stun him.
After taking care of him, approach the cannon and hold down the interaction button to render it useless.
To reach the second target, you should lower yourself behind the wall by the cannon and the palisade edge and walk to the cannon.
A single guard will be waiting there. Wait behind the corner for the man to turn around, sabotage the cannon and quickly hide in the bushes on the left.
From there you can stun the enemy patrolling the road.
With the area clear, sneak to the end of the bushes growing by the wall. On the right you should see a house. Go round it from the right and jump into a hay cart standing by the palisade. That way you will find yourself in the place from where you eavesdropped on the two men some time ago.
Kill the patrolling soldier from here and afterwards head onto the wall above the gate.
On the other side of the roof you will find a couple wooden planks which you can climb onto.
Climb them and jump onto the roof on the right.
You will now have to jump far to the right, to a place not watched by the guards.
After landing safely, quickly run behind the palisade and immediately turn to the woods on the right. You need to leave the red zone before the soldiers can get an idea of what they saw.
That way you will end the mission.
After a visit to the inn, head out to meet with the Indian woman. The proper mission will begin there.
Optional objective: Kill militia without triggering open conflict - 2.
Your first task will be killing a soldier marked with a red dot. You can rush onto him at once and take out the whole camp with Indian help, but you should complete the optional objective beforehand. It consists of eliminating two enemies without an open conflict breaking out.
In order to complete it, go round the soldiers form the right and hide in the nearest pile of leaves. Beside it there's a guard who you can assassinate. Do it when the marked enemy walks away to a safe distance.
After executing him, sneak to the pile of leaves a couple steps further. From there you will be able to eliminate another enemy who's patrolling the edge of the camp.

After a short animation, the man will start to run. Chase him by holding down the free run and jump buttons.
Your additional targets are the gunpowder carts placed nearby the road. To destroy them, you will have to press and release the secondary attack button when nearby them. Remember to quickly reload the weapon between carts by slowing down for a bit (let go of the jump button) and press the shoot button). Your character will do everything automatically while riding the horse.
As you catch up with Braddock, yet another chase will begin, though this time on foot. Get a couple meters from the enemy and kill him with a fast pistol shot. That way you will end the mission.
The whole sequence will end after you visit the inn marked on the map.
After re-entering the Animus, you will step into the shoes of a young Connor. Chase the other kids until you start playing hide and seek.
Optional objective: Find all the children without making a mistake.

Your mission will be finding four of your friends who have hidden in the woods. Optional objectives require you to do it within four minutes and without any mistakes. With the countdown over, examine the nearest trace with the interaction button.
That will cause green circles inside of which the children have hidden to appear on the map.
Start off by heading to the middle of the left circle and examining the traces there. The circle will narrow.
The first child can be found in the pile of leaves in the middle of the area.
Now run to the middle of the nearest circle and examine the traces there. Inside the narrowed zone you will find further traces which will lead you to two hideouts.
The proper one is the one on the right (the greener one).
The last child is hiding behind a rock inside the third circle. Just go around it and you will complete the mission.
In the second part of the game, you will have to hide from a friend. All the hideouts will be marked on your map, though you should choose the nearest ones as they are already occupied. The time limit should be enough to reach even the furthest pile of leaves.
After hiding, a cutscene will play after which you will have to return to your village.
Get behind the palisade and head towards the green marker, avoiding any obstacles with the interaction button.
After getting to your house, approach it from the right and try saving your mother.
The mission will eventually come to an end.
The mission will start with a tree jumping tutorial. Hold down the free run button, climb onto the leaning tree and afterwards jump to where the branches form a V.
In order to climb higher, you have to press the jump button.
Optional objective: Do not touch the ground or water.
After a short cutscene you will have to reach the stream by jumping between branches. The path is rather simple, but to complete the optional objective you can't touch the ground or water even once. As you run, hold down only the free run button and control your character with the left analog stick.
As you reach the rock at the shore, your friend will start drowning.
Save him and afterwards jump to the tree forming a V growing on the other side of the water.
There you will receive a task of obtaining a feather lying at the top of the rock.
Start off by reaching the rock wall by jumping between branches and the fallen trunk.

The item you seek is lying on one of its branches.
From there you can also jump to the second feather.
To get the last one, run towards the green point symbolizing your friend. The feather is hidden south of him and will be marked on the location map as you get nearby it.
After collecting all the items, return to the young Indian to end the mission.
After the conversation, head to the green zone and eventually two red dots marking rabbits will appear.
Kill one of the animals by holding down and then releasing the shoot button and afterwards skin it with the interaction button.
Afterwards search the zone for traces marked with a magnifying glass.
Examine them and afterwards hold down the inventory button and choose the snares with the right analog stick.

The next task involves hunting down a deer. Start off by heading to the marked zone and looking for tracks of the animal.
Your victim will be then marked on the map with a red dot.
Sneak between the bushes as close to it as you can and then scatter a bait of your choice with the shoot button.

It's not a simple task, though you should make it after a couple times. Try to fly as stable as possible for the most time, don't perform any sharp turns and stay at the upper part of the woods.
The mission will end as you fly to your final destination.
In order to begin the mission, head to the house marked on the map and try to enter it.

Speak with Samuel Adams (marked on the map) to begin the mission. As you're looking for him, don't let the guards notice you or they'll attack you because of the third notoriety level. More on that can be found in the chapter of the guide dedicated to notoriety.
The first mission you will get will be tearing off two wanted posters. Doing so you will lower the notoriety level. All poster in the area will be marked on the map with green dots. Tear them off and return to Adams. If you run across any guards, just kill them and finish your task.
From a short cinematic you will learn that you can also lower the notoriety level by bribing town criers or print shops workers.
Optional objective: Do not raise your notoriety to level 3
Your second task will be finding the printers, however before that you will have to go to the sewers with Adams. The entrance will be marked on the map with a green dot.
By pressing the corresponding button you can tell Adams to either follow you or stop. Use that and try to sneak by towards the target while avoiding any patrols. That way you won't have to fight and therefore raise you notoriety level. If you want to obtain full synchronization, the notoriety level cannot exceed level 2.
A fight will be inevitable only after you reach the sewer entrance. Quickly kill the enemies guarding the courtyard and hide inside the hay stack behind him.
After a couple seconds you will be able to leave your hideout and go down into the sewers.
In order to find the proper exit, follow the running rats. You should take the following turns: left, left, right. On your way you should also light up the cressets that you pass by. That way it will be easier to return in case you make a mistake.
At the end you will find a locked door which you have to picklock. Do it just like you did it in previous sequences: start off by turning the left and right analog sticks until the lock clicks. Afterwards, while still holding both sticks, start pressing the free run button. The mission will end after you open the door.
After leaving the sewers, head to the printing shop marked on the map. The building will be guarded by two soldiers, who shouldn't cause you to much trouble. With them dead, head inside. Adams will bribe the printer to stop printing posters with you on them. By doing so you can completely get rid of notoriety: tearing off posters will lower the level by 1 and bribing city criers by 2. More information on notoriety can be found in the proper chapter of the guide.
Head out of the building and follow Samuel to the docks. A ship will be waiting there for you, sail it to quickly return to Davenport's manor. That way you will end the mission.
After speaking with Achilles, quickly leave the manor and go meet with the screaming man.
You will then have to run with him to the river, where his friend is being pulled by the current towards the waterfall.
Optional objective: Do not touch the water while rescuing Terry.
In order to save him, jump between rocks and tree trunks on both shores. Eventually you should reach a branch above the waterfall from where you will have to jump down to rescue the man.
If you want to complete the optional objective, you cannot touch the water. Run as fast as you can so that you can jump straight to the man from the last branch. Note that even if you dive right beside him, you will still get full synchronization.
The next mission awaits you by the docks. You can get there with fast travel by clicking on the proper point of the map.

Only by not hitting any pedestrians will you be able to complete the optional objective.
After taking control of your character, approach the hole in the wall and eavesdrop on the conversation of your fellow prisoners. When they finish talking, go to sleep.

Optional objective: Completed all the constraints in one playthrough.
After getting outside, silently kill the closest guard and climb onto the building on the right.
Now you can keep jumping between the roofs in the designated order, silently killing the guards on your way. The soldiers' reaction time is delayed, so you should have problems with escaping their sight.
As you reach the last building, jump down to the hay pile below and kill the nearby enemy.
You will now have to wait for the guard on the left to turn around and afterwards quickly run to the right wall of the tower. There you will come across another enemy which you have to eliminate.
With him dead, climb onto the tower and light the signal fire.
After the explosion, head further a bit and you will have to fight with Haytham. To defeat him, you will need to perform counterattacks beside pieces of the environment such as barrels and press the prompted buttons. That way you will end the sequence.
Optional objective: Limit regular kills - 15
To begin the mission, head to the cemetery where you will be caught by the Templar soldiers.
NOTICE! In order to obtain full synchronization, make sure you have at least one arrow before beginning this mission. It will make completing optional objectives easier.
Counter the enemy attacks and kill two groups of enemies.
The further path will leady you to a ferry marked on the map. Climb it and go round from the right. You need to reach the designated spot.
From there you have to reach the nearby window and eavesdrop on the conversation.
When the men are done talking, slowly move further to the right, get aboard the ship and follow the guard behind his back to the marked spot.
Hidden behind the boxes, eavesdrop on the second conversation.
Optional objective: Escape the HMS Jersey without entering into open conflict.
Optional objective: Kill the HMS Jersey's captain.
Optional objective: Completed all the constraints in one playthrough.
You will now have to leave the ship. If you're not interested in the optional objectives, you can just jump into the sea and the mission will end. However killing the captain without raising an alarm isn't all that hard, as all you have to do is climb onto the roof and shoot him from a bow.
To begin the last mission, head to the inn at Boston and interrogate the man inside. He will tell you that Charles Lee can be found in the docks.
Optional objective: Stay within range of Lee - 50.
Optional objective: Do not shove anyone during the chase.
Optional objective: Completed all the constraints in one playthrough.
Use Eagle Vision in the marked area of the shore and find the Templar. As you approach him, the chase will begin.
Start off by quickly jumping to the seashore to avoid the first group of guards.
The second and third group can be avoided by jumping along nearby barrels. You can also run into the soldiers and perform a dodge to make Connor jump forward and avoid getting hit.
The last group can be avoided by cutting the left turn. A couple more steps and the optional objective will be complete. You won't have to worry so much about the distance of shoving pedestrians, though you still won't be able to lose Charles.
Optional objective: Do not take any fire damage.
Start off by turning right to the burning shipyard and slip under the wooden blockade.
From there you have to run onto the wall on the right and afterwards jump left.
By the end of the ship there will be a cinematic after which you will have to jump through a hole in the wooden barricade and run further to the right.
To catch up with your target, you should run around the construction and slide under one of the wooden barricades.
After you reach the target, slowly move towards the shore. A man waiting there will take you to where Lee went.
Enter the tavern and watch a long cinematic. Afterwards you will once again take control of Desmond.
Open the big red gate and afterwards run straight along the path. That way you will finish Assassin's Creed III. Congratulations!
After the credits roll, you will enter the shoes of Connor once again. Now you can complete all the previously ignored additional missions and find the collectibles. Apart from that you have to epilogue missions, in the form of short cutscenes.
After you finish the game, three more short mission forming an epilogue will appear on the map. The last of them can be found in Boston, where you will learn of the so called Pivot points which you have to find in order to unlock cheats in the game options. How to do it?
Start off by making sure you're connected to the Internet, turn on the map and check the "Animus Synching" tab. There you will find information on the available pivots and a map with the locations of the others.
Two first pivot points will be marked on the map of Boston. The line which goes through them divides the city into two halves and the green colour marks the area where the next artifact is hidden. If you click on an existing point you will be able to delete it and pressing the Connor icon will place a third point where you're standing.
By manipulating the lines, you can widen the area. Using the two first points, you can tell in which half the artifact is. Place a third pivot point and you will form a triangle. If it's green, it means that the artifact is within its field. Otherwise, remove one of the points, run to a different location and place the points there. It's easiest to search for artifacts in cities, as you can use fast travel which speeds things up considerably.
The first pivot can always be found in Boston on the roof of a building, but others are placed by other players in various places.
To find where the next pivot has been hidden, head to the "Pivots Info" menu. You can move through it with the right analog stick. There you will also find the time when further pivots become unlocked.
Pivots are needed in order to unlock cheats in the game menu. Below you will find a full list:
1. Immortality.
2. Unlimited ammunition.
2. Ability to change seasons.
3. Ability to change weather.
4. Lightning strikes after each kill.
5. Ability to change time of day.
6. No firearms reload time.
7. Enemies can be assassinated even during an open conflict.
8. Ability to call in recruits without any limits.
9. Enemies ignore you completely.
The combat system in Assassin's Creed III focuses mainly on quick counter-attacks and combos. In order to counter an attack, you need to wait for a red triangle to appear above an enemy's head and hold down the counter button. Time will slow down and you will be able to lead out one of three attacks:
In most cases normal attacks are the best choice, through there are enemies who can block it, for example Jagers, Grenadiers or Captains. In order to defeat them, firstly knock them down or disarm and then quickly finish off the defenceless enemy. All attacks can also be used without countering, though they are less effective then.
If you see a yellow triangle above an enemy's head, it will mark that that enemy is preparing to lead out a special attack. Those kinds of attacks cannot be blocked in a standard way. In order to avoid them, quickly strafe or jump aside with the counter button. In case of ranged weapons, you can additionally hide behind a human shield. For that, approach the nearest soldier and press the jump button.
An interesting addition to this installment are double kills. In order to execute them, you have to counter the attacks of two enemies attacking at the same time. A very effective animation will stars, during which Connor will get rid of both of them in a flashy way.
The best way of eliminating a big group of enemies is using combos. You can use them after each counter - while Connor is killing one enemy, quickly point the analog stick towards another enemy while pressing the attack button. The target will get killed instantly. Repeat the same process during the killing animation to move to the next target and so on. Just remember to use the counter button when you see a red triangle above an enemy's head! If you don't the combo will be broken.
Guns were widely used during the time of the American revolution. Connor can of course use them as well. As for ranged weapons, his basic equipment includes a pistol and an Indian bow, but you can also use muskets left by soldiers.
In order to use one of the above weapons, you need to hold down and let go of the proper button. It's a basic method which works well with nearby targets.
Where higher precision is needed, you need to hold down the aim button before shooting and move the dot to the proper position with the right analog stick.
Assassin's Creed III also introduces changes to the health system, eliminating health potions known from previous games. Connor can no longer regain all of his health points with just one press of a button, making long battles far more difficult. Instead, the health bar refills slowly with time. When you're outside of combat, your health regenerated much faster.
Connor is a member of the Assassins Brotherhood, which makes it possible for him to use a set of tools for quick and silent assassinations. His basic weapon is a pair of hidden blades on both of his wrists. Thanks to them he can quietly kill nearby enemies. In order to use them, approach a target and press the attack button. Connor will automatically perform a fast execution. You can also get rid of two enemies at the same time, but they have to be standing beside each other and looking the other direction.
Hidden blades can also be used when attacking from above. When you're standing on a roof or tree and see an enemy below you, aim the camera at him. The enemy will be lit. One press of the attack button will end his life.
A new feature of Assassin's Creed III is the possibility of attacking enemies behind corners of buildings. As you approach the edge of a building, you will be able to whistle to lure an enemy towards you by pressing the interaction button. When the enemy gets close enough, attack normally and Connor will automatically attack the target, at the same time pulling his corpse behind the wall.
Aside from hidden blades, Connor can also use ranged weapons for assassination. This group includes the bow, poison and rope darts. You can use them just like the pistol, but they don't make any noise. The specific feature of the rope dart is that you can hang enemies on it.
In order to perform this action, you need to hide on a straight beam or tree branch above the enemy and hold down the shoot button. When Connor uses the dart, pull the left analog stick in your direction. Connor will jump down and pull the enemy up.
The notoriety level defines how committed the guards are to find Connor. It increases when you engage in an open combat, kill them in public, steal from them or just act suspiciously (run between rooftops or push people). You current notoriety level can be seen in the lower left corner of the screen, right beside the mini-map.
There are four notoriety level which in the ways enemies behave:
Incognito
When incognito, enemies don't pay attention to you unless you behave suspiciously.
Level 1
Guards will keep an eye on you and eventually approach you to make sure whether you're wanted.
Level 2
Enemies approach your on sight and attack afterwards.
Level 3
Enemies attack you on sight and the number of patrols increases.
Notoriety can be reduced by doing one of the below three things:
Take down Connor wanted posters (-1 level).
Bribe town criers (-2 levels).
Bribe printers (-3 levels).
The location of each of the above will be marked on your map whenever you earn the first level of notoriety. In order to lower it, approach a poster, crier or printer and interact with them. You can do it only when you're not chased or attacked by enemies.
Just like previous installments, Assassin's Creed III lets you use the free run mode. By holding down the appropriate button, you can jump between roofs of buildings, climb trees or quickly avoid obstacles. The system has been improved, so that unplanned moves happen as rarely as possible.
While in free run, Connor will never automatically perform a jump which can cause him to fall or lose health. In order to jump down from a high place, you will need to press the jump button. The same button can be used for quick climbing and jumping above small obstacles automatically (by holding down the button and running into them).
Horses make a return in Assassin's Creed III. After completing one of the main sequences, Connor will receive his own horse which he can choose from the equipment menu. Call in the animal by quickly pressing the shoot button and climb it with the jump button.
Connor's ability to attack other enemies on horses is very useful. In order to perform it, you need to approach the enemy and press the attack button. If you're chasing an enemy, you can also use the pistol.
A new addition to Assassin's Creed III are big and vast forests. Moving between trees is very similar to navigating cities, but features a few special principles. Basically, during free run, Connor will always move horizontally through the forest. When running along a branch he will come across a trunk, he will avoid it and move to the branch on the other side.
If you want to climb higher, you need to use the jump button. The same button can be used when standing between two branches to make Connor climb higher.
Forest climbing paths usually begin with fallen trees. From them you can easily reach upper parts of the woods.
Another new addition are complex rock formations which you can climb by using narrow ledges and wide, vertical cracks.
Fast travel was already available in the previous installments, but AC III lets you use it directly from the map. If you have discovered a given area, just click on it and Connor will automatically move there.
Points connecting big, separate locations such as Boston and Frontier are unlocked in the first place. There is however a possibility of discovering fast travel paths inside cities as well, in the form of vast sewers. In order to discover them, you need to head underground and find them.
The proper path will be marked by arrows on the walls and special symbols that will become lit after setting fire to torches hanging from the walls (interaction button).
Search for them on forks in the road.
After reaching the exit, you will have to solve a simple puzzle. Sewer maps and puzzle descriptions have been included in the further chapters of the guide.
Various hideouts are the best friends of any assassin, letting you sneak to your victim or lose a pursuit. Below you will find a list of "disappearing" methods available in AC III.
Haystacks - hay piles which you may know from the previous installments are very common in Boston and its peripherals. Just run into them and Connor will automatically jump inside. You can also hide in hay transported on carts. That way you can pass by road patrols unnoticed.
Wells - they work just as hay piles, but you can move along their ledges.
Crowds - if you see a group of 3-4 people standing beside each other, approach them slowly and mix into the crowd. Likewise, you can "disappear" by standing beside people leaning against a hedge or wall of a building or by sitting on a bench.
Building interiors - as you're trying to lose a pursuit, you may come across doors leading inside various buildings. Head inside and Connor will quickly get through the apartment and exit onto the street on the other side. It's a very useful shortcut thanks to which you can quickly lose a pursuit.
Bushes - dense and tall bushes which grow between trees and beside stream shores can be used to hide as well. Just get inside them slowly and Connor will quickly disappear from the sight of the pursuit. Just remember that you will exit your hideout when you start running.
Water - while you're in a harbor or by a river shore, it's easiest to hide underwater. In order to dive, pres the interaction button. You can move while underwater, but remember that Connor will eventually swim to the surface to breathe in and won't be able to dive back for some time.
Underground exit
Obstacle number
To open the lock, move the left analog stick left twice and the right analog stick to the right twice as well.
To clear the passage, shoot the gunpowder barrel on the other side of the barricade. Further on you will have to solve a puzzle.
Use the left analog stick to turn the lens and the jump button to change the active one.
They should be placed in the following order: letter at the top, weight at the bottom, the circle with a cross on the left and the circle with an arrow on the right.
Keep turning both valves in opposite directions until the door opens. There aren't many combinations, so you should make it rather fast.
Inside one of the rooms you will find a lever which is used to lower and rise the elevator. Before using it, place a lantern on the platform.
With the item above, climb to it along the wall on the right. On the upper floor, once again leave the source of light and crawl through the narrow hole.
Behind it you will find a wall which can be used to climb even higher. Jump through two precipices there and you will reach a room on the other side of the grate.
From there, unlock the door, pick up the lantern and run forward.
Shoot the barrel through the wooden barrier and get to the other side along the corridor on the right.
Soon enough you should come across another lens puzzle. You need to place the lens in the following order: feather on the left, crown above, man on the right and letter below.
The puzzle will require you to place lens in proper positions. The order should be as follows: cross on the left, globe above, circle on the right and the weight below.
To open the gate, move the left analog stick left and afterwards the right analog to the right three times. That way you will turn the valves and open the door.
Underground exit
Obstacle number
To open the door, move the left analog stick left, the right twice to the right and afterwards the left twice more times to the left.
To open the gate, move the left stick twice to the left, the right stick to the right and afterwards the left three times to the left.
Nearby the Brewery exit you should see a gunpowder barrel.
Place it beside the wooden barricade and blow it up to unlock another tunnel.
Get rid of it just like obstacle number 3.
Place the lens in the following order: eye above, weight on the right, the below and the cross on the left.
Go round the grate from the left by jumping between rocks.
Turn the spinning wheel to lower the lift and afterwards jump through the grate to open it from the other side.
Jump through the second door as well and turn the spinning wheel. That way you will open the gate. The third passage can be unlocked by going round it from the left. from the wooden barrel, run onto the wall and jump further straight and to the right.
To open the door, place the lens in the following order: eye above, crown on the right, letter below and the eagle on the left.
To get pass the grate, you need to jump between two walls and avoid the falling water. Start off by climbing onto the wall on the left, hold down the free run button and press jump. Proceed doing so until you teach the top.
To open the door, move the left analog stick to the left, the right to the right and afterwards the left to the right. That way you will turn the valves in the proper way.
To get past this obstacle, jump right from the left wall and blow up the barrel on the other side of the room. That way you will unlock a passage behind the barricade and will be able to open the door. Get past the next obstacle in the same way.
To open the door, place the lens in the following order: sun above, letter on the right, weight below and circle on the left.
The woods surrounding Boston are inhabited by a big amount of various animals. Hunting them, you can obtain numerous skins and antlers which you can later on sell or use in the village to create even more valuable goods. Below you will find rules which you should follow as a good hunter.
While hunting, you should only use the bow, hidden blades and snares. Others weapons are just as effective when it come to killing, but skins from animals killed with a sword are of much worse quality than those killed with a bow.
While in the woods, pay attention especially to bushes and places marked with a magnifying glass icon. If you approach and interact with them, you will learn what kind of animal can be found in the area. The nearest animal of that kind will also be marked on the mini-map with a red dot.
Different parts of the woods are inhabited by various types of animals. Information of types of animals can be found in the proper part of the map screen. In order to discover all species of a given area, you must hunt them or find their traces.
In order to avoid being detected by an animal, use dense bushes and tall trees. Moving along the branches, you can silently approach your victim and kill it with a fast aerial attack.
Snares and baits are two items which are very handy when hunting small and timid animals. If you discover traces of, for example, a rabbit, equip snares, place them where the animal was before and throw some bait onto them. You can hide in the nearby bushes and watch the animal or head completely elsewhere and return afterwards.
Skinning hunted animals is trivially easy. Just approach a dead animal and press the interaction button and Connor will automatically cut out everything that's of any use.
Before the revolution, Boston was a city under full control of the Templars, who managed to almost completely destroy local Assassin Guild. Your mission will be reconstructing the brotherhood and regain all the districts from your enemies. In order to begin, start with finding a district challenge icon on the map.
As you reach the designated spot, you will receive a short mission of killing a given soldier and saving oppressed citizen. Complete it and another marker will be placed on the map, pointing the person which you should contact. For now however he won't have much to tell.
Before receiving the mission of regaining the district, you will have to complete a few lesser tasks, similar to or identical as the one from which you begun. Unfortunately, they won't be marked on your map. In order to discover them, you will have to circle the area, searching for Templars harassing the citizens. Each completed mission will reduce the enemy faction's influence.
When the contact finally agrees to cooperate, complete the received mission to free the district from Templar reign. What are the benefits? Firstly, in regained districts you won't be bothered by Templars anymore, though British soldiers will still patrol them. Another benefit will be that you will receive a new recruit.
NOTICE! The first guild member can be recruited by completing Sequence 6 of the main story mode.
When you recruit the first new member, new options regarding the organization will appear. By holding down the guild button you can choose the functions which the new recruits will realize or enter the mission screen. The first option lets you choose between assassination and riots. Both can be launched by pressing the guild button. By choosing assassination you can murder a designated target, while the second option lets you start riots which will draw the attention of guards. You can learn more skills by recruiting new members.
The mission screen is used to send recruits onto different kinds of missions. Completing them gives them experience and lets Connor get useful items and gold.
After completing a mission in a given area, you will be able to complete further ones and eventually completely take over the territory from the Templars. Regained areas will provide Connor a constant income. When choosing missions, note the difficulty level marked by the amount of stars beside it. The higher it is, the more experienced recruits you will need to complete it. The percentage chance of success will be displayed as you assign assassins to a given errand.
In order to ensure a high cash inflow, it's worth to complete as many missions as possible. You however have to remember that assassins on missions become inaccessible for some time and can't help you during your fights in Boston. If you want to gain full district synchronization, you need to unlock all recruits and get them to level 11.
1 - Contact in the southern district
2 - Contact in the northern district
A - Side missions
Eliminating the guards who are escorting prisoners.
Catch up with and kill the guard who's chasing the man.
Speak with the man to receive a mission of killing the officer recruiting new members to the Templar army.
To complete the mission discretely, go round the building from the left, whistle at the nearest enemy and kill him from behind the corner with a hidden blade.
Eliminate the second enemy from the nearby bushes. He will be busy pushing the protestors, so he will barely notice you.
With him dead, stay in the bushes, hold down the Assassins Guild button and choose the "Marksman". Now aim at the target and press the button once again. That way you will order your associate to kill the officer.
Free the civilian held in stocks.
Catch and kill the bandit who's forcing tribute.
After a conversation in the tavern, you will receive a mission of killing the local Templar officer.
Head to the designated spot, press the Assassins Guild button and choose "Bodyguard".
Doing so you will call in your associates who will attack and guard who notices you. Head together to the end of the pier and kill the officer to end the mission.
1 - Contact in the eastern district
2 - Contact in the western district
3 - Contact in the northern district
A - Side mission
Defeat the officer to gain the information. Use fists to get rid of his guards and afterwards disarm the officer himself.
Approach him outside of combat to complete the mission.
Your mission will be planting a falsified document to a designated informer. In order to do that, sneak up to him from behind and hold down the interaction button. The enemy is so slow with reacting, that you should make it even if he notices you.
Stop the execution by killing all the marked soldiers.
Speak with your contact in the district, head to the shore and use the "Covert Escort" option from the Assassins Guild menu.
That way you will call in disguised recruits and will be able to pass by enemy patrols unnoticed.
Approach the designated target and kill him to end the mission.
You have to burn the poisoned blankets. Defeat the guard beside them and press the interaction button.
Take the diseased to the clinic so that they can get a vaccine. You need to approach them and press the interaction button to take them to the designated spot.
The mission will end when you put the diseased onto the beddings.
Kill the poisoned dog.
You will have to protect a square with the diseased from waves of Templars. Enemies will attack in accordance with the timer at the top of the screen. The first group will approach you from the north, the second from the east and the third once again from the north.
To defend yourself, open the Assassins Guild menu and choose "Ambush" by the clinic exit right before the timer hits zero. Your recruits will then attack any enemy who runs into the marked area.
Apart from that, use the pistol to shoot barrels on the ground. Their explosions should cause serious damage to enemy forces. With the last group eliminated, the mission will end.
Defend the farm from the incoming enemies. It's worth to call in recruits to help you, as the enemies will be high in numbers and the civilian can lose health.
Beat the merchants to help the starving children. Just remember to use fists instead of hidden blades.
Defend the family from eviction by defeating the guards.
The mission consists of killing the Templar leader hiding in the nearby camp. The new recruit skills - "Lure" - will help you in that. It can be used to lure out designated targets. That way you can draw guards away from their posts and safely sneak into a restricted zone.
This mission is best dealt with by just running into the camp and quickly killing the captain, without even trying to sneak. With the main target dead, the rest of the enemies will disappear.
In the game there are four clubs which Connor can join. They are the Boston Brawlers, The Frontiersmen, The Hunting Society and The Thief's Club. Each offers three types of challenges which you can check on the map screen. Additionally the three first clubs also give special side missions. Their description can be found in the further part of this chapter.
In order to be invited to a club, you need to perform (sometimes numerous times) the below activities:
1. Boston Brawlers - beat someone up barehanded.
2. The Frontiersmen - speak with the marked Frontiersmen.
3. The Hunting Society - hunt any animal.
4. The Thief's Club - rob someone.
Below you will find a map with marked camps of the Frontiersmen and the Hunting Society.
The Hunting Society
The Frontiersmen
Speak with the man and head to the marked spot in the west to find three traces left by the bear.
They will lead you to his cave.
As you reach its end, head back a little, pick up the corpse and take it to the designated spot. That way you will lure the beast.
Kill the bear to end the mission.
Find the traces of the wildcat in the designated area and afterwards catch up with it and kill it.
Your next target is the large deer in the north. Head to the designated spot, climb onto the tree and use Eagle Vision.
The animal you're hunting should shine gold.
Wait for it to approach the branch you're on and jump onto it with a hidden blade. That way you will end the mission.
One of the hunters will tell you of an aggressive wolf living in the area. Head to the area marked with a green circle and examine the trace on the rock. That way you will narrow the search area.
Approach the second trace and you will be attacked by a group of animals.
Kill three wolves to lure out their leader. His death will end the mission.
Amongst the rocks in the north there's a dangerous cougar roaming. Head to the marked area along the fallen tree in the east and go into the green circle.
In the middle you will find the beast you're looking for.
Your next target will be an old Elk which can be found at the shore of the marked lake. You can kill it from the nearby tree or by shooting it from a bow/pistol. However one shot from a ranged weapon won't be enough and you will have to chase the animal to finish it off with a second shot.
Location: The Frontier
Speak with the hunters and head to the marked camp to examine the body.
You will be attacked by a wolf. Kill the animal and the mission will end.
Location: The Frontier
In this mission you will have to trace down a supposed beast, which will turn out to be just an ordinary man.
He can be found inside a cave underneath a waterfall.
Location: The Frontier
To complete the mission, head to the designated area, climb onto the lighthouse and examine the "ghost".
Location: The Frontier
Listen to the story and head to the marked area to examine the corpse by the road.
The horseman will soon appear and the mission will end.
Location: Boston
Listen to the conversation in the inn the head to the designated area to eavesdrop onto the citizens.
Eventually you will reach a cemetery where you will have to meet with a widow.
When the woman ends talking, head to the shore and take a closer look at the strange diving suit. That way you will end the mission.
Location: Boston
This time you will have to investigate information regarding an UGO. For that, head to the south-west part of town.
Inside the green circle you will see a privy which you have to climb onto. From it, jump onto the nearest tree and climb to its top with the A button.
Jump between branches and you will reach an umbrella which people took for an UFO.
Location: Boston
Start off by talking with the organizer in Boston to unlock the first challenge.
Location: The Frontier
Your first enemy awaits you at the Frontier. As the fight begins, quickly eliminate his companions and afterwards focus your attacks on Bunyon himself.
To defeat him, you should press the jump button after each successful block. The assailant will be knocked out of balance and you will be able to land a couple hits on him. Keep repeating this until the fight ends.
Location: New York
Defeat the sailor in the same way as the previous enemy. Start off with eliminating his comrades and afterwards keep knocking him out of balance to attack.
Location: Boston
Fighting the Smuggler differs from the previous ones as you will have to fight not one, but two powerful enemies. However the tactic still stays the same.
Location: The Frontier
The fight is identical to the first two.
Location: Boston
Fighting The Ropebeater will require a different tactic. In order to counter his attack, you will have to keep the interaction button pressed all the time. You will have to aim at a quick dodge without slowing down time. However if time does slow down, don't do anything and wait for Connor to push away the enemy himself.
That way you will avoid getting hit by the enemy, but you will have to attack him himself. For that, make Ropebeater stand with his back to the wooden elements. When you hold down the interaction button and dodge the enemy's attack, quickly hold down the attack button. Your character will perform a quick punch. If the enemy will be close enough to the environment, he should hit the wooden element and get damaged. You won't always succeed, but after a couple attempts it should bring the desired effects. If you lose too much health, stop attacking and focus on blocking. That way you will be able to recover a part of your health.
Location: New York
To defeat the Merchant, slow time by blocking. When the enemy gets pushed away, you need to punch him twice and he will fall down to the ground. Keep repeating this until the fight ends.
The brewery
Location: Boston
To begin the last mission, head to the brewery in Boston, where you met with the organizer. Unfortunately because of a game bug the location might not be marked on your map, so you can find it on the above screenshot.
You will have to fight with the best brawlers in town. You can defeat each enemy in the same way as Peter Bunyon and the Sailor: block their attack and knock the enemy out of balance with the jump button to make the enemy vulnerable for some time. There are however some differences between the fights:
1. The Redcoat - defeat his companions with normal attacks and keep attacking him just like before as he draws his sword.
2. The Docker - beat up the weaker enemies just like the Docker, i.e. by using the jump button.
3. The Surgeon - during the fight the Surgeon, Connor will be poisoned. It will cause the screen to blur and will gradually eat your life. To win, you have to defeat all the enemies as fast as possible.
4. The Huntress - you last enemy will recover all of her health a few times and will keep using smoke bombs to stop attacks. Don't worry about it and keep attacking the Huntress until the fight ends. That way you will also end the whole tournament.
All four clubs in the game have a series of challenges based on the idea of achievements from Steam or PSN. They are divided into sets and completing one unlocks the next one. To check the available challenges, turn on the map and choose "Journal" to find challenges divided into four categories:
- The Hunting Society
- Boston Brawlers
- The Frontiersmen
- The Thief's Club
In the further part of the guide you will find all the challenges with the more difficult of them enriched with hints and useful maps.
1. Kill 5 deer.
2. Kill a wolf.
3. Skin 10 animals.
4. Trade hunting spoils worth L500.
Hint: All items received for skinning an animal classify here. Just sell them at a store of your choice.
5. Use bait with a snare to capture five animals.
6. Kill a bear with the Hidden Blade.

After moving into Achilles' place, you will have the option of transforming the nearby territory into a small village. To do that, you will first have to find people willing to live in the area. They will be automatically marked on the map as you progress in the game.
Before moving to your village, each person will ask you to solve their problem. Sometimes you will have to deal with aggressive poachers and other times a wild river with a waterfall. A detailed description of all of them can be found in the further part of this chapter, along with the order in which they appear on the map. Some of them require you to complete main sequences beforehand, so move on to them if they are no new missions in the village.
New villagers will not only build houses in the area and move in with their families, but also offer you their services. To use them, head to Achilles' place and use the Ledger which gives you three options: stockpile, crafting and trading.
Stockpile - this option lets you browse items which you possess and buy new goods from the villagers. The more of them you have, the more interesting items you can buy.
Crafting - it allows you to create new items from the materials that you have, which you can later on sell or use against the Templars. Items can be crafted in two ways: either by using a previously obtained pattern, or by experimenting with mixing craftsmen and resources. New patterns can be obtained in return for completing main and side missions. A list of both will be added to the guide later on.
Trading - this option can be used to trade goods by shipping them to shops. Firstly you need to choose the kind of convoy and items you want to ship and afterwards an interested party. Before making a final decision, you will be advised of the time of transport, risk of loss and anticipated benefits.

There you will find traces which will lead you to the map. The first one is the broken display window on the left, the second the blood stain on the floor and the third the broken vase by the entrance. Eagle Vision will help you in finding them. They will be marked with a magnifying glass icon.
Optional objective: Reach the assailant's location within the time limit - 1:00.
Examine the last trace, turn around and quickly climb onto the balcony on the other side of the museum.
For that, you will have to climb onto the bear on the right and afterwards jump along the wooden beams to the end of the room.
Grab onto the elephant fangs and further onto the big metal object on the right.
As you climb it to the very top, you will be able to jump left and onto the marked balcony.

That way you will open a secret passage leading to a map fragment.
Optional objective: Solve the riddle within the time limit - 5:00.
As you reach the island, four green circles will be marked on the map, within which you can find traces.
To find the mechanism parts, use Eagle Vision. They will be placed on trees and rocks which will be lit that way.

Optional objective: Limit health loss - 30%.
Optional objective: Do not use any ranged weapons against animals.
Optional objective: Completed all the constraints in one playthrough.
Do so with all four symbols and a place which you have to visit will be marked on the map. There, you will be attacked by a groups of wolves. It's easiest to eliminate them using ranged weapons, but that way you will lose the chance to get full synchronization. If you want to defeat the best in close combat, you will have to press the buttons prompted on the screen. Unfortunately during this mission you will have to do it much faster than when fighting ordinary animals. It's rather hard and requires very fast fingers. If you fail to press a button, start quickly pressing the one which will appear afterwards. If you're fast enough, you will manage to free yourself before Connor loses more than 30% of his health.
NOTICE! If you kill the wolves with poison arrows while on a tree, you will still be able to complete the optional objective. This might be a bug which can be fixed in future updates.
With the last animal dead, examine the marked spot and use the pistol to blow up the barrel by the rock. That way you will unlock a cave entrance.
After getting inside, swim forward until you reach a rock which you can climb. Move along the wall and you will reach the artifact you're looking for.

In order to view available missions, head to the harbor nearby Achilles' house and speak with the overseer. A description of all the missions will be added to the guide later on.
The rudder is controlled with the left analog stick, while speed is mapped under two buttons, respectively the jump and interaction button. Pressing the first button once will cause the ship to go to half sails, giving you less speed but increasing manoeuvrability. Pressing the button again will set the sails completely and let you reach maximum speed.
Out in the sea, always try to go with the wind, the direction of which can be seen on the mini-map in the lower left corner of the map. Green arrow means that you're sailing with the wind and red against the wind.
During storms, you will additionally have to look out for waves hitting the deck. When you that one is about to hit the ship, press the attack button to make Connor hide and avoid being knocked over.
During naval missions, you will be often attacked by enemy Templar or British units. In order to effectively fight them, you have to learn how to use the weapons of Aquila.
Holding down and then releasing the free run button will launch a powerful cannon volley from the side of the ship, aimed at where the camera is pointing. The path will be marked by a white beam visible on the water. This attack is very powerful, but in order to use it effectively you have to seat the ship's side perfectly towards the enemy.
The second cannon type (swivel gun) is used with the aim button. Hold it down to aim at a target and let go of the button when the changes to red to hit the target. This weapon type can be used to destroy smaller ships, mines and specific elements of an enemy's ship, e.g. gunpowder barrels.
During battles, always attack smaller ships with the swivel gun and swim sideways to bigger units so that you can attack them with a full cannon volley. Also remember no to go full sails as Aquila won't be manoeuvrable enough to avoid enemy fire.
Things are a bit different with attacking forts. When you sail nearby, mortar stands which you need to destroy with a cannon volley will be marked red. For that, swim closer to the shore, turn sideways to the enemy and hold down the free run button to aim at the enemy artillery.
Attacking however isn't the most important part here, as avoiding mortar fire which can damage Aquila considerably is crucial. Each time you hear a warning bell of your ship, go half sails and quickly turn around. Only that way will you be able to avoid the powerful missiles falling in a straight line. Afterwards launch one quick attack and get ready to turn around yet again.
Optional objective: Limit the ship's damage - 50%.
In this mission you will have to protect the merchant ship from the attacks of the gunboats. Try to stay as close to the ship as possible and shoot whenever you see an enemy. You can use both the cannons and the swivel guns. Alternate between using them so that you don't waste time on reloading.
The enemies will firstly come in from the left, then from the right and afterwards they will keep showing up from the left. Try hitting them from as far as possible.
Optional objective: Use a mine to eliminate gunboats.
Protect the merchant ship and eventually you will come across sea mines. Shoot them to make yourself a path between the rocks. The explosion of one mine is enough for a whole line to blow up.
Right behind the first line of mines, look closely to the left. You should note a ship beside a mine. Shoot it to complete the optional objective.
Optional objective: Limit damage from the fort's mortars - 50%
After getting out of the mined archipelago, swim towards the fort marked with a green point. You will have to destroy the English fortifications.
Swim with half sails and quickly turn around whenever you see a bell marking a mortar shot. Between the turns, you should fire a big salvo at the fort and hit one of the three towers. Keep repeating this until all the fortification are destroyed.
After the conversation, approach the mast and climb up the rope. From there you will have to get onto the second mast and climb to its top. From there you should see two ships fighting.
When Connor returns to the deck, approach the wheel and sail in the designated way. To reach the attacked ship, you will need to navigate through numerous rocks. It's not an easy task during sharp wind, so remember to go half sail during strong gusts.
Optional objective: Limit damage from rogue waves - 25%
After you get out of the rock labyrinth, rogue waves will start hitting the ship. Always face them with the board and press the attack button right before they hit to avoid damage.
Optional objective: Limit the number of missed shots - 2
As you reach the merchant ship, try destroying all enemy boats as fast as possible. However for full synchronization, you can miss a shot only once, so be very careful and patient. Be sure to take the waves into consideration, as they can block the path of the cannonball.
Optional objective: Destroy frigates by firing on their weak points - 2
After the battle, keep sailing in the designated way until you get attacked by two frigates. For full synchronization, you need to approach them and hit their weak points with the swivel guns. Blowing up the second ship will end the mission.

After the first attack, you will be attacked once again but this time a frigate will be amongst the enemy forces. Try destroying it in the first place, attacking the other ships only occasionally.
After fighting off this wave of enemies, Belladonna will be attacked by a ship of the line. Quickly press the inventory button and choose the chain-shot. Use the free run button to shoot it at the enemy and therefore destroy the masts.
Afterwards swim to the ship to board it.
Optional objective: Kill the officer within the given time - 1:00
Onboard the ship of the line you will have to kill its officer. To reach him, go round the nearby mast from the right side. His death will end the mission, but if you manage to kill him in less than a minute, you will also complete the optional objective.
Optional objective: Destroy the Randolph's mast with a single broadside.
Optional objective: Take out the Men-of-War within the given time - 3:00.
After the mission begins, swim between the rocks to the left, following the ship.
Soon afterwards you will be attacked by two more ships from the right. Start the fight by going half sails and destroying the masts of Randolph. For full synchronization, you need to land a perfect chain salvo. Take into consideration the enemy ship's speed and how the cannonballs' flight path. The optional objective requires that all of them hit the enemy.
With Randolph immobilised, move on to the other enemies. You have to destroy them in 3 minutes and move on to boarding the ships. This might prove very hard if you haven't upgraded your ship properly. Most of all you should buy the heated shot so that you can destroy enemy ships fast. It's best to get nearby an enemy, pass by him and shoot a full heated salvo.
After a successful attack, a white ring should appear on the enemy ship, pointing to the gunpowder storage. Shoot it with the swivel guns to sink the ship.
Optional objective: Kill only Biddle.
With both of then sunk, sail to the previously immobilizes ship and board it. Don't bother fighting, just run straight to the captain.

Follow the same tactic below deck and you should end the mission fast.
Optional objective: Limit ally health loss - 50%
Your mission is to protect the Henderson, a ship under attack by the British. Firstly use swivel guns to eliminate the closest ships and afterwards use cannons to get rid of the others.

You should upgrade Aquila before beginning this mission, for example buy the heated shot which will make destroying bigger enemies much faster.
Optional objective: Destroy ships by ramming them - 3.
After the mission begins, sail around the nearby lighthouse and head to the green circle marked on the map.
There you will be attacked by a big group of British ships. Luckily they are rather weakly armed and a few quick salvos should end the battle.
If you however want to complete the optional objective, try not to attack the enemies for now, but instead sail so that you're facing their board with your with the bow of your ship. Head into the very middle of the formation and you're sure to hit one of the ships. Hit three ships like this and you will earn full synchronization. Hull strength and naval ram upgrades will surely prove to be useful during this mission.

Look out for the waves hitting the ship and head to the green circle. There you will be attacked by three big ships.
Your will have to destroy them without taking too much damage. To do that, it's worth to upgrade hull strength and buy heated shot at the port. The first will increase the endurance of the Aquila, while the second will let you destroy enemy ships faster. Without them, the fight will be much more difficult.
At first you will receive a mission of destroying 8 British ships. It shouldn't be too hard, as the enemy ships are very small units which can be destroyed with one swivel guns shot.

To complete the optional objective, quickly eliminate the ship on the right by shooting it with both types of cannons and then move to the bigger ships. Only after it explodes, move to the other ships. If you can't make it within the time limits, buy the heated shot upgrade. It will make destroying the Protector much easier.
Optional objective: Sink a frigate
After the mission begins, sail to the green point and eventually you should see the first enemy ships. Your mission will be protecting the channel from the British. You need to survive for the time shown in the top of the screenshot.
To avoid bigger damage, try destroying the enemy ships before they can get close to you. During the fight you will also have to look out for the nearby rocks. The channel is rather narrow and you might crash the Aquila if you won't look where you're sailing.
Eventually a bigger frigate should appear on the horizon. To complete the optional objective, you will have to destroy it before the time runs out. Just like in the previous missions, you should consider upgrading the heated shot which will make destroying it much easier.
