Game Background
In Assassin's Creed you take the role of Altair, 12th century secret assassin and member of the Hashshashin brotherhood. Your mission is to assassinate nine different public figures active in the Crusades. The figures are located in Palestine, in four different main cities: Jerusalem, Acre, Damacus and Masyaf. The game's Crusade-era cities are extremely detailed, full of citizens that go about their daily lives, exquisite cityscapes, and detailed buildings.Game Abilities
You are Altaire, an expert assassin, and you have his various abilities at your disposal: sword fighting, scaling buildings, silently killing enemies with a hidden knife, and pickpocketing. As you progress through the game you will gain even more abilities, and must use them all to complete your missions.-
Memory Block Four
- YouTube: Assassin's Creed - Memory Block 4: Abstergo (Time: 3:02)
Al Mualim
- You will be promoted one more rank, gaining the 'Catch Ledge' and 'Grab Break' abilities. Catch ledge is extremely useful, as it will let you quickly descend buildings without taking damage. It can also be used to save Altair if someone hits him while climbing. Hit the B button while falling to grab the nearest ledge.
- Grab Break works in the same way as Counter-Attack does, except for when the enemy grabs you. Practice this in the courtyard.
- You now have the choice to head to either Damascus, Jerusalem or Acre. Take your pick.
- NOTE: This time you can warp directly to the city once you hit the portal to the Kingdom, saving you a lot of pain and trouble. You can still enter the Kingdom if you wish, though.
Back to Damascus
- Enter the city and head towards the Rich District. This time you will have to find a viewpoint yourself, which is no trouble. Simply look for tall buildings with an eagle above it. Scaling one will mark all the others on your map.
- Head to the Bureau if you like - you will gain some information on where to look, and some extra dialogue, but you should be able to start it simply from scaling your first viewpoint.
- NOTE: This time you need to complete at least three investigations. The guards have become a bit tougher, but they shouldn't be much trouble. You have two eavesdropping missions, one assassination informer, one flag informer, one pickpocket mission and one interrogation. Take your pick, and head to the Bureau to get your white feather.
Abu'l Nuqoud, Merchant King
- YouTube: Assassin's Creed - Memory Block 4: Abu'l Naquod - pt. 1 (Time: 11:00) | pt. 2 | pt. 3 | pt. 4
- Follow your GPS to the large Palace the Merchant King resides in. You will have to sneak past some guards using either a distraction of some sort or your free running skills.
- Blend when you get to the gate and walk into his courtyard. Abu'l will make a speech, unfortunately poisoning all his guests at the same time.
- Run up the ledge on the right of the courtyard and then climb up through the arched entrance.
- TIP: You can either turn around, jump across the poles and onto the balcony, or make your way all the way around the courtyard, killing the archers as you go.
- Another chase assassination follows, similar to Talal. Use your Assassin's Blade to end him, and do the usual rooftop escape to the Bureau. Return to Al Mualim.
Back to Acre
- Al Mualim will promote you, giving the Regain Balance and Dodge abilities, as well as a new Long Blade which will do more damage.
- Head down the village and warp to Acre. You will be investigating the Rich District this time. Either head to the Bureau or find a View Point in that district to get started.
- NOTE: You have three pickpocket missions, one flag informer, one assassination informer and one interrogation. Complete at least three, then head back to the Bureau and collect your white feather.
William of Montferrat
- YouTube: Assassin's Creed - Memory Block 4: Montferrat - pt. 1 (Time: 11:00) | pt. 2 | pt. 3 | pt. 4
- Follow your GPS to the target, William of Montferrat. When you get close to the fortress a cutscene will play, a rather vocal meeting between William and King Richard. William will return to the fortress.
- You should be able use Blend to walk straight in, otherwise there is the possibility of climbing the walls.
- NOTE: If you used Blend to get in you will have to climb the ladder in the main square.
- Head to the roof, take out any suspicious guards with throwing knives or otherwise break their line of site.
- William is in the back corner of his fortress yelling at his soldiers.
- Walk along the awning type ledge against the wall and get behind him. There is a little platform a short drop below.
- TIP: You can try your luck at a jumping assassination here, but it requires absolutely precise timing. Have your Assassin's Blade equipped and jump towards William from the ledge. Keep hitting X and you should manage the kill.
- If you think this is too risky, you should be able to quietly drop behind him and take him out. The entire fortress will be onto you now.
- TIP: If you're confident in your skills, you can unlock an Xbox 360 Achievement by fighting a large number of enemies - this is probably your best chance. Use your long sword for the greater defense.
]
- If you would prefer to run, then jump back up where you came from but quickly head the other way once you're on the rooftops.
- You should be able to find your way onto the fortress wall, and from there follow it around to a few leaps of faith which should clear your status.
- Return to the Bureau, shaking off anyone else if you're seen again, and then return to Al Mualim.
Back to Jerusalem
- Al Mualim will promote you once again, letting you hold more throwing knives. Head down the village and warp to Jerusalem. Enter the city in your preferred way, and either go to the Bureau or head straight for the Poor District.
- NOTE: Scale a viewpoint to reveal the others as well your investigation missions. You have two pickpocket missions, two assassination informers (both of which are quite tricky - take your time), one interrogation and one eavesdropping mission.
- Be careful as the guards are getting noticeably stronger by now. Once you have completed at least three of these, head back to the Bureau and grab your feather.
Majd Addin
- YouTube: Assassin's Creed - Memory Block 4: Majd Addin - pt. 1 (Time: 7:00) | pt. 2
- Your target is holding a public execution. You can either climb into the execution square or use a group of scholars to make it past the guards.
- Join the crowd while holding blend to remain anonymous. During the cutscene two people (who you may have eavesdropped on earlier) try to assassinate Majd Addin but are swiftly killed. The guards will be on high alert.
- TIP: The stealthy and rather ridiculous way of killing him is by joining the group of scholars in the back corner of the square who will walk you onto the platform. When Majd Addin draws close, you should be able to blend next to him and assassinate. More likely you will draw his attention or that of his guards first though, so be prepared for a fight.
- Fighting with the Assassin's blade might be hard against so many targets, but pushing Majd Addin over and then using it on him while he is prone is a good strategy. Otherwise keep up the fight long enough and you will automatically take him out.
- Run back to the Bureau! Resistance will be quite high, so watch yourself and try to lose your targets quickly. Return to Al Mualim when you make it back.
