Assassin’s Creed III Walkthrough

Optional objective/s:

• Air assassinate Pitcairn without being ] detected
• Cross the battlefield without taking damage
• Kill fewer than four soldiers
• Complete all objectives in one playthrough

Part 1 – Sprint

When you are back on dry land following the previous mission, mount the horse nearby and follow the patriot back to Putnam’s camp. Walk forward and hop off your horse to watch a scene.

Afterwards we need to run down the hill to the objective marker and take cover here. See the objective marker in the distance to the left of the hill? That’s where we need to go. Unfortunately, the soldiers on the hill will constantly be firing. Luckily the majority of them will all fire at the same time. Wait until you see the hill light up and when the shots re done, run to the next piece of cover. Continue to move between cover when it is safe to do so until you reach the marker. If you can cross the battlefield without taking cover you will complete the optional objective for doing so.

Once you are at the objective marker, find the raised stone to your right and use it to access the trees above. Work your way through the trees until you reach a cliff you can climb to the area at the top.

Part 2 – Assassination

We’ll now get the optional objectives to limit kills on soldiers to 4 or less and to air assassinate Pitcairn without being detected. Tricky, but not impossible!

Crawl through the low bushes nearby and follow the fallen tree to the left. At the end of the bushes here, wait for the patrolling guard to pass and then walk straight ahead and down to the next set of bushes to the north. Follow these to the end again. Once more, wait for the guard to patrol past and then run over and jump into the hay cart to the south. From the cart look to the left and you will see a series of tents with a single guard patrolling between them. Wait for him to start back to the south (and the guard patrolling in the immediate area is not looking) and then run over to the tents and hide in the bushes on the far side of them. Work your way to the next group of bushes to the south. From here we will be able to see a tree stump and a tree. Wait for the guard to start patrolling back to the north and then use the tree stump to climb the tree. Jump to the next tree to the left and from here to the flagpole below. From the top of the flagpole Target Pitcairn and air assassinate him.

With that sequence 7 is complete.

Note: for completing sequence 7 you will earn the achievement/trophy ‘The Whites of Their Eyes’.
