Assassin’s Creed III Walkthrough

• Perform a successful mobile eavesdrop.
• Complete all objectives in one playthrough

After the short intro to the chapter, we are going to have to travel to New York. Head over to the frontier to find that it has now been added to the map. Cruise over to the exclamation mark (or fast travel if you prefer) and enter New York.

Part 1 – Tailing

As you enter, hop on the horse and walk over to the guy with the exclamation mark above his head nearby. Follow him into town until a cut-scene plays.

Upon completion of the scene, you will have to tail the counterfeiter. You can climb the stairs to this right and follow him from above thanks to plenty of platforms and other objects we can climb on. After he rounds the first corner he will stop. He will cross the main street, so drop down and follow him. Climb the stairs to his right again as he enters the next side-street. He will get into a brief scuffle and then return to the main street.

Drop back down and follow him into the next alley to the right. Walk through the grassy area and when he stops again, hide behind some cover to avoid detection. He’ll then enter a courtyard and meet with a couple of friends. You will need to eavesdrop on them.

Afterwards follow him again across the next street and he will stop take cover behind the wall of the building to the left.

Follow him down the alley to the left and take cover behind the fence. When he pops out of the well continue to follow him until he meets another mate. Unfortunately you are going to have to eavesdrop on these guys too, but this time they will be moving. Follow them and stay within range of their conversation. Use the people on street to blend in with and walls to take cover behind as you go. Make sure to equip coins as about halfway through street children will come up to you and unless you throw money on the ground, the noise they make will alert the guys you are tailing to your presence. When they stop, hide behind the wooden structure to the right. Follow them into the next alley for a scene.

Part 2 – Chase

Afterwards you will have to chase Hickey down. The optional objective here is to not tackle or shove anybody in the process. This is difficult however as Hickey will drop coins frequently to attract crowds to block your path. To avoid them, try to run to either side of the group as you pass. Once you have tackled Hickey a scene will play to signify the end of the mission.
