Investigations
Case of the Missing Scholars

This video begins by demonstrating a cheat: You can make Informers shut up (both before and after the mission) by dropping onto them or by jumping into them and pulling Left Trigger while in mid-air. The same tricks work on Saved Citizens.
After the blitz assassination mission (42.84 seconds), the Informer tells Altaïr about a certain set of Scholars who aren't all they're cracked up to be. The Prima Guide shows a Save Citizen at the Scholars' location on one map, but not others. I believe it's an oversight in the game design.

Assassin's Creed's most challenging Informer, Pickpocket, Interrogation and Eavesdropping missions. Each done in a unique style.
Beginners' Guide to Assassinations
Tue, 11/03/2009 - 01:30 — stabguy
This guide is directed at those who are still playing through Assassin's Creed for the first time. The greatest joy in the game comes from figuring out how to stealth assassinate one of the main targets on your first try, without reading a walkthrough first. For me, this satisfaction came much too late (the eighth target). I was good at the "not cheating" part but lousy at planning an assassination, mostly because there were aspects of the game play which I did not understand.
