The Hidden Blade Assassin's Creed in Depth

After you leave the area, the gate to the compound is no longer modeled in the game. The developers forgot to put it back in place when you return. This mission is loosely related to "There is no spoon"-type missions:

Part 2 of 2 in a collection of stunt and other stylish assassinations in Bonfire of the Vanities.

10 Brutes in 60 seconds. The usual advice for this contract mission is to use smoke bombs and/or poison. Smoke bombs disable your opponents for easy killing, and the poison delays the start of the timer. (The countdown starts when the first Brute dies.) This video uses other strategies that let you kill everyone using only hidden blades.

The goal in this video is to kill the targets of Sequence 13 as quickly as possible, while remaining Anonymous, if possible, up through the start of the kill animation. The missions in this video are loosely ordered from easiest to hardest to design.

Exposed Blitz Assassination
When rounding the corner onto the main street of Forli, stay to the middle to avoid being pushed by guards on either side. The biggest challenge is getting through the guard post at the city gate. As Ezio approaches, they move into another formation (chosen at random). Your job is to find a hole in the new formation and sprint through it. Sometimes one guard will hang back and raise his sword like a baseball bat. Go to the opposite side to stay out of his reach or tap the [Legs] button to jump past him.

Anonymous Blitz Assassinations
Here are 3 ways to kill Checco quickly without being detected.

Dive underneath the canal grate to cross the city walls quickly. Transition to fast walk as you pass through the group of people standing by the fast travel station. You remain blended for several seconds after you emerge from this group, which gives you time to approach Checco unnoticed.

The goal of this mission is to kill every guard in the Doge's Palace and Carlo Grimaldi without being seen at all. That means no yellow bars over your opponents.

Most of my videos start at the checkpoint immediately before the assassination mission. This missions starts earlier - at the checkpoint when you land on the roof.

Anonymous Blitz
An anonymous blitz was previously discussed in Part 1 of this variety pack:
