Assassin’s Creed III Walkthrough

Optional objective/s: Do not raise your notoriety to level 3

Part 1 – Posters

After completing the previous mission, a messenger will approach and tell you to meet a new contact, Sam Adams. So head on over to the explanation mark and talk to Sam to start the mission.

This mission is going to give you a crash course in notoriety and how to get rid of it.

First up we need to take down two wanted posters, these are scattered all over the place so shouldn’t be too hard to find. You will be on high notoriety until you manage to pull two of them down, so when you approach them either try to avoid the guards around or prepare for a fight. Once the two posters have been removed, return to Sam.

A scene will play showing how you can bribe town criers to also reduce your notoriety.

Part 2 – Escort

Afterwards, you will now have to escort Sam to the Underground tunnels. As you make your way through the streets be sure to avoid the guard checkpoints as they always seemed to become hostile, no matter the notoriety level. Also, as per usual for escort quests ensure that you don’t venture too far from Sam.

When you reach the tavern, you will notice that all the alleyway entrances to the area are all blocked by guards, so climb over the roof and drop down into the courtyard. Quickly enter the hatch on the ground to enter the underground to complete the sequence.

Part 3 – Lying Low

Escort Sam through the underground tunnels until you reach the objective marker.

Part 4 – Stop the Presses

After leaving the underground area, head over to the golden objective marker to meet with Sam. In this scene we’ll learn how to use printers to reduce notoriety as well. When you are done, follow Sam to the docks and speak to the harbourmaster to travel to the Homestead or fast travel to the frontier.
