The Hidden Blade Assassin's Creed in Depth

To replay this Lair of Romulus, go to the DNA strand and select Sequence 2, Memory 7 ("The Halls of Nero").

There are three Borgia Flags inside each Lair. If you are looking for a specific Flag refer to this index:
Flag 84 - 2:47
Flag 85 - 5:40
Flag 86 - 8:42

Stabguy and I are happy to have JoeyFogey as the Featured Member on The Hidden Blade for the month of March. Here are some of his thoughts on Assassin's Creed:

1. Tell me about the first time you played AC1, AC2, and/or AC:B.

AC1 was my most appreciated Christmas present of 2007. Something about it intrigued me so much. I knew it would be something I'd remember if I ever got the chance to play. Once I did, I was blown away. I loved the idea of climbing up buildings and not having to rent the latest Spider-man game and be disappointed. The graphics and game mechanics were revolutionary. I knew you really had to master this game to appreciate it.

Hey everyone, check out my new chest capture video. Lots of strategy and tips in the video when playing worthy opponents and scoring big in chest capture, check it out!

A preassassination on William is possible using the same method as the one for the superfast blitz. But this time jump to the other railing (aim your jump by facing the post with the camera and jumping forward), get to the end, jump to the scaffold and grab on (make sure Altair is never in an upright position when you are doing this or you can't do any high profile actions and the scene will start). Then climb to the other scaffold and jump sideways to grab on to a higher part of it. Jump from that to a balcony, then to a beam, then to a plank. You are so high up that the scene won't start. Now you just need to climb inside the fortress where you will meet William and his men (too bad King Richard and the horsemen weren't in there). It gets a little glitchy as you can see with them appearing and disappearing. When you kill William it does the kill animation for targets and afterward you hear the phrase "close the gates", which is a game script for killing William. However there is no scene since William is not identified as a target by the game yet. After the scene it gets more glitched since you can't move through the invisible wall that's still there and you can't do any high profile actions.

Hey guys and girls, just a quick video i've made showing a very quick way you can farm borgia couriers that works 100% of the time, so check it out

Videos for efficiently collecting all 83 above-ground flags, 10 feathers and 10 rifts (a.k.a. glyphs) are now available on the Brotherhood maps pages. We're trying something different this time. Instead of making these viewable by premium members only, they will be available to everyone and sponsored by video advertisers. Be aware that some advertisements contain audio that may play while you're looking at the maps. As always, premium members of The Hidden Blade will not see any advertising.

I actually show travel from flag to flag (no edits between flags). The total running time is 61 minutes - an average of one flag, feather or rift every 35 seconds. It could have been slightly faster except one of my requirements was to not use unlockable abilities such as Climb Leap and Parachute. Not all viewers will have these abilities and it makes reaching some flags a long and difficult task. Case in point: flag 77 in Antico East. I did make extensive use of Catch Ledge but that's an ability available throughout Brotherhood.

Here are some assassinations I did on Abu'l Nuquod the merchant king.

Hey everyone, finally got my first video up; starting with a wanted game. I added commentary, hope it helps!

In the video I try to show how to score consistently over 8k in wanted and ways to reach 9k and sometimes 10k.

I have a 13k alliance and 15k Manhunt game that I will put up this week. Also working on a montage and top ten, enjoy
