The Hidden Blade Assassin's Creed in Depth

As requested by LuckyJaguar on Youtube.

Trying for the same style as the Marie stealth kill. Basically choose a fast route to the target and take out any guards along the way, while not being fully detected.

In this case start out running to the left of the building to avoid confronting large amounts of guards. The two posted guards won't react fast enough to block a quick double assassination. The patrolling high level guard in the courtyard will have his back turned. Inside are four other guards, two posted in front of the stairs, one patrolling on one side of the room, and the other guard on the other side. Throw a smoke bomb to avoid being seen and get the posted guards. The others might not be close enough to waste your time on.

Once you're upstairs, disguise will help if you're not patient enough to blend. You won't come under suspicion for throwing smoke bombs as long as you're in disguise. Taking out the guards there isn't necessary unless you want a completely stealthy mission. I decided to just assassinate the guards in between the target and me.

What differs from the last video is that I used disguise and smoke bombs, but still didn't use ranged kills.

I was going for a variety pack, but things were taking too long. I hope you find this interesting.

Stealth Infiltration of Parais Luxembourg

If you're fast enough the guards can be dealt with efficiently on the way to the target. From the last checkpoint start with treading the wire leading to the building and take out the rooftop gunman while his back is turned. The next two gunmen up ahead start out close enough for a double kill if you didn't lose any time.

Climb up higher, head right and get in through the open window. Go into the small room and quickly kill the guard posted outside. As you move on, two other guards patrol the hallways. Move fast enough and you usually can get them both at a window, although sometimes the game randomizes their locations.

Kill the brute from a corner and berserk the gunman on the far side of the target's room. The target will flee from the conflict. You can beat Marie to her waypoint using the stairs. Just watch out for the brute patrolling in and out of the room and any other guards patrolling around that area.

Now when Marie runs in there you can get a kill without being seen, especially by the guards who are still following her but from a distance due to her running. The way you came has been cleared of guards, so that could make a good escape route, although I haven't tested it.

Full Sync of every Memory in AC Chronicles China. Normal difficulty. (Actually the hardest in the game, because even on Plus and Plus Hard, you get Items and Abilities from later missions that you can use in the early missions. If Stealth and Max Score is all you're going for, Normal is the hardest difficulty.)

Assassins Creed Unity Sequence 8 Memory 2 September Massacres Rouille Assassination

Silent Rooftop Extermination

A method for assassinating every enemy on the rooftop during the mission without being seen.

Gunmen in the tower- the fast easy way is activating the optional cutscene, which kills both guards. Two other ways are ledge assassinations or sneaking up from behind.

Patrolling brute on platform- Either kill him when you're out of sight of the other nearby platform guards (after killing the guards in the tower) or ledge assassinate.

Brute and gunman on one side of the roof- Wait until the brute stands near the other guard for a double assassination or double air assassination.

Guards on other side of roof- Wait for the patrolling guard's back to be turned to quickly assassinate all three of them. You move faster crouching than walking.

Remaining guards- This part used to be tricky because one of the guards and the target are facing each other. However it has been discovered that shooting Rouille once with a berserk dart prevents him from seeing you. This helps a lot in sneaking around that particular area unseen. Now you can just walk up the steps and assassinate that guard, as well as the "sleeping against rail" guard.

Target- Thanks to the berserk dart trick, Rouille is in a state where his AI has been put on hold. If you perform some actions on him such as tackle or attack, the berserk affect kicks in shortly afterward. But in the meanwhile he doesn't notice you, not even if you're fighting enemies in front of him.

Assassins Creed Unity Sequence 8 Memory 2 September Massacres Rouille Assassination

Undetected Until the Kill

The fastest route I could find. On a reload you start out the missions below the beam instead of on it. Jump down to the ground right away and head straight. Then turn left around the building and climb up from the market stall to the climbable ledges by the window. Climb straight up and the target is right ahead (when you reach the roof climb to the upper left to avoid scaling an unnecessary tower).

When you reach the roof it gets tricky because a guard always spawns shortly. To prevent him from detecting me, a cherry bomb distraction was used. You'll still cause suspicion but can start an air kill before becoming exposed.

Shortcut Route

Reloading the last checkpoint after reaching the target, you'll start on the roof. This was probably put into the game to make things easier. Start moving slightly to the right to avoid being seen right away by the rooftop guards. Now with some well aimed jumps you'll reach Rouille in very little time. But of course the nearby guards are a problem. Since you get seen before reaching the target, smoke bombs were used to avoid combat.

Assassins Creed Unity Sequence 13 Memory 6 a Crown of Thorns.

The last memory of the sequence and assassination of Captaine Rose.

Stealth

Before the fight with Captaine Rose, it's a challenge just to get to him without being seen.

Using just the hidden blade it's not that hard to make your way through the area. Also took the opportunity to achieve the double assassinations challenge.

When you start down the large flight of stairs, wait for the two guards to pass by and quickly assassinate them. Then kill the raider captain from the safety of a cover. This will cause some nearby guards to flee, making your stealth path easier.

Continuing along the route, corner kill the stationary guard. I've gotten see before by the patrolling guard during this kill, but with the timing in the video I haven't.

Now wait till the patrolling guard can't see you and hang off the edge. By this time some guards will notice the bodies of your first kill. Shimmy your way across and kill the patrolling guard, then the two posted guards. You will complete the double assassinations challenge.

When you reach the next two guards, keep an eye out to your right for guards. Kill them when the coast is clear. You won't have to worry about enemies for the rest of this as long as you keep to the roofs.

Early Death

Now that you've reached the target, time to pre-kill him. Getting close to the area starts the scene, so lure him with a firecracker from a safe distance away. Other guards will also arrive, which can be dealt with using poison bombs.

Now sneak up on the target and... he can't be assassinated or knocked out. Immune to poison bombs and berserk darts. Combine that with lots of health and you're looking at a high level boss.

Now here's the thing: If you kill him then it actually causes the scene to start. Not sure why, maybe killing him is supposed to start the next checkpoint regardless of what part you are in the memory.

Anyway, he respawns after the cutscene, so the pre-assassination is just for fun.

On Ubi's official Assassin's Creed forum there was a topic in which the OP was asking if anyone knew a "clean" way of killing La Touche in this sequence, so no detection and using the hidden blade to kill the target. Since this is very hard for this target, a "challenge" was made. And as a hiddenblader I obviously had to rise to the occasion
Thought you guys might also be interested in the result.

The video is pretty straight forward on how to do it. I try to aim my second money pouch on the railing/bannister of the stage to get the biggest crowd on the execution stage. Then I try to aim the 3rd money pouch just right so that there is a blend group I can use to walk onto the stage undetected but still leave enough people on the stage so that I can blend there. I position myseelf behind the guillotine so that the guard opposite La Touche does not see me. I quickly check to my left to see if any guards are looking at my direction, and if not, I throw the cherry bomb. It has to be just far enough so that none of the guards to the left of the stage get distracted. I then walk up to La Touche and kill him. After the cinematic I quickly exit the stage using the cart and I walk into the crowd without the guards noticing me.

Assassins Creed Unity Sequence 12 Memory 3 The Temple Germain Assassination

In this memory you have to fight the Templar Grand master Germain twice before finally assassinating him. Here's how you can kill him before that.

Finding Germain

At the beginning of the memory you have to infiltrate the place. The best route I could find involved an outside tower you jump from to reach the building housing the target. Half the time you get spotted by a nearby gunman, but even then it's minor. Also the jump could come up short, which is why I hold down the empty hand button to grasp the ledge (this doesn't work while you are falling, at least not consistently).

Throwing a poison bomb form one of the building towers, you can take out German's health, but it doesn't kill him. Also from another tower you can shoot him with ranged weapons, but they have no effect.

Now for preventing the scene from starting. Germain needs to be onscreen and not hidden behind a wall or object. So if you turn the camera away you can approach him and assassinate.

There are a few strange things that can happen, such as Germain becoming dead standing up, and even missing from the scene. Proof that he was indeed killed.

In this video I show a few ways of killing Lafreniére that I though were pretty cool/interesting. This assassination takes place during sequence 5 in memory 3.

Puppetmaster

In this part I let the graveyard caretakers and their friends(green NPC eagle vision, who will help you if you kill the bodyguards before Lafreniére arrives, do most of the work for me. I throw a cherry bomb at a certain spot which will attract a couple of guards, the allies and Lafreniére . They will start fighting and shooting at each other and one of the allies takes out the target for me and I wait until the rest of the guards are distracted by the remaining allies who have heard the gunshots and have gone up from underground to investigate.
Then all I have to do is silently finish Lafreniére off for a completely unseen kill.
I dubbed it puppetmaster because I am sort of pulling all the strings from the shadows and didn't know what else to call it

Blitz
This one is pretty straightforward.
I jump in the haystack closest to the target and before the wait timer is full I quickly jump out in the right direction so I can instantly drop a smoke and run to the target. The actual time it takes from spawning to killing Lafreniére is around 6 seconds, maybe even very slightly below 6 seconds.

Originally I had performed an accidental non-story assassination.

After further investigation it was found that kills from crouching right behind low objects don't trigger the memory scene of targets. There are two ways to do this: Low profile, which is pulling them over the object and stabbing while they are still on the ground; and high profile, which is jumping out from behind the cover and air assassinating them.

When the game developers changed the situation of memory scenes starting to only hidden blade kills (the only lethal way to kill targets) the "crouching right behind cover kills" got left out.

Sivert

A "crouching cover kill" is possible behind the lift in both low and high profile. For the low profile one you have to lure the target to get close.

le Roi des Thunes

When fighting him, use staggering strike to get the target to a corner and parry his attacks. Sometimes he'll fall off the solitary platform. From (under)ground level there are tables and other low objects to non-story assassinate him from.
