Assassin’s Creed III Walkthrough

Optional objective/s:

• Cross Charlestown without taking damage.
• Air assassinate a grenadier
• Remain undetected whilst on ships
• Complete all objectives in one playthrough

Part 1 – Sprint

After the previous mission, you will find yourself automatically in Philadelphia where you will watch a scene. Afterwards continue down the hallway and exit the door at the far end.

When we are back in familiar territory you will notice that we are in the frontier. Work your way over to the exclamation mark and speak with the man here to start the mission.

Follow the man on horseback until you reach the encampment. Head over to Israel for a short story sequence.

Once you can control Connor again, note the optional objective to cross Charlestown without taking damage. Unfortunately the boats in the harbour are shelling the village and there are a few guards around that will attack or shoot at us as we go through, so we need to avoid both.

We are going to slide down the cliff nearby and enter town. Hop the fence at the bottom and run down the street towards the objective marker. When the building collapses in front, turn left and use the upper path next to the building to get around behind it. Continue along the street until the next corner and head to the left. Follow this to the end to reach the water. Swim out to the objective marker.

Part 2 – Infiltrate & Destroy

We are now able to complete the other two optional objectives: Air assassinate a grenadier and remain undetected on the ships.

Swim to the northernmost of the two ships. Swim to the far side of the ship and climb up towards the stern (back) of the ship. Scope the area and look for the guard with the large back pack, fuzzy hat and the kilt on. This is the only grenadier on the two ships, so we will have to air assassinate him if we want to complete the optional objective. Note the various guards patrol patterns. We want to clear the back of the ship. Use the side of the ship to pull any patrolling guards you can into the ocean and then pop up and take any more patrollers down silently using corner takedowns. When only the grenadier is left, climb the rigging and air assassinate him. Go to the mast in the centre of the ship and interact with it to plant an explosive. You’ll then have 10 seconds to jump off the boat. Dive overboard and swim to the next ship.

The southern ship is a little easier. Climb up from the side furthest from land again and note the guards on board. All of them are stationary bar two. One of them will patrol the central deck, whilst the other will patrol around the front of the ship. Pull the central patroller into the water and then when the patrolling guy at the front of the ship is not looking climb up and interact with the barrel. Quickly run and jump into the water.

Once both ships have been destroyed, climb to the top of the mast indicated and interact with it to put up your flag. Dive into the water and start swimming back to shore to complete the mission.
