Eleven Man Blitz 1.0
Wed, 11/04/2009 - 05:25 — stabguy
Blitz assassinations of all the main targets. The concept of this style is to assassinate as quickly as possible, while remaining Anonymous before the kill on certain targets: Tamir, Garnier de Naplouse, Abu'l Nuqoud, Majd Addin, William de Montferrat, Jubair Al Hakim and Sibrand. (In this video I fail to remain Anonymous on Abu'l.)

Stunt Assassination Guide
Tue, 11/03/2009 - 00:36 — stabguy
You all know by now that I'm a big fan of air to assassinate. Ubisoft must have rushed it in at the last minute because both they and Prima failed to document how to do it. Whenever someone on the internet asks for help, at least one well intentioned player comes to their aid with advice like, "Jump at your target and hit the attack button when you get close." That's what I call a "jump assassinate" (or "stunt assassinate" if the fall is high enough to cause partial desynchronization). Air to assassinate is actually easier and more reliable. The problem with jump assassinate is you have to judge where you will land and make sure it's close to the target. I usually end up jumping way over the target's head.
Alone - The Broken Timeline Exploit

This is the only way I know how to assassinate Majd Addin while remaining Anonymous both before and after the kill. The strategy is based on a new exploit I found, which I call the "broken timeline exploit."
William de Montferrat has lived long enough
Sat, 10/31/2009 - 03:21 — stabguy
I saved William de Montferrat for last in Memory Block 4 because many players like to use Throwing Knives on this mission and Altaïr can carry 10 at a time if he's already finished off Abu'l Nuqoud and Majd Addin.
The Montferrat assassination seems to be Ubisoft's crown jewel of ASSASSIN'S CREED. It was the one they would always show in pre-release demos, so it must have been the first one that they developed. As such it feels more polished than some of the other missions. In fact, I think they added air to assassinate late in the development cycle and simultaneously placed a scaffold next to William.
Execute the Executioner: Majd Addin
Sat, 10/31/2009 - 03:05 — stabguy
You know the trailer that plays when you first load ASSASSIN'S CREED where Altaïr executes the executioner? Some have complained that the scene never occurs during actual gameplay. Well, it sort of does. Majd Addin holds a public execution on a stage in Jerusalem. The degree to which his assassination resembles the one in the trailer is up to you.
