Assassin’s Creed III Walkthrough

Optional objective/s:

• Kill fewer than two prison guards.
• Reach Hickey within 2 minutes.
• Complete all objectives in one playthrough.

Part 1 – Pickpocket

Once you regain control of Connor, you’ll be in a prison cell. Stand up and take cover on the wall nearby to eavesdrop on the inhabitants of the adjacent cell. Afterwards interact with the bed.

After a short scene, follow the guard out of the cell and down to the lower level of the prison. Activate eagle vision and then head over and talk to Weems (he’s the one sitting in a chair at the table with the board game). Head over and talk with him. Play the game with him until the end of the conversation.

Find the prisoner with the golden objective marker above his head and pickpocket the key from him and then return to your cell.

When you are able, return down to the lower level prison and speak to Weems. Now you will have to pick a fight with the other prisoners to get thrown into solitary confinement. Once you have knocked out enough of the other prisoners, the guards will intervene and after a short cut-scene you’ll find yourself in your new cell.

Part 2 – Escape

In this area the prison warden is wandering about. Wait for him to stand outside of your cell door and pick his pocket for the key. Connor will open the door.

As you exit the cell, the warden will be to your left. Follow him around the corner and when he turns to the right, climb up the stairs at the end of the passage. In the next room you will find Weems. Talk with him and he’ll allow you to access the VIP prisoners’ cells.

Part 3 – Infiltrate

We now have a new optional objective – reach Hickey in less than 2 minutes. It should be noted that being detected by guards in this section will result in desynchronisation and will force you back to the start of the area.

As you enter the main room, wait for the guard in front of you to climb the stairs. Enter the cell just to your right and hide in here so you can see the guard we just followed. Wait for him to walk over to the opposite side of the room. Step out of the cell and wait at the foot of the next set of stairs. Wait for the guard to move past the top of the stairs and stop just to the left. Climb the stairs and turn right, quickly run over and interact with the marked door before you are detected. Easy and you should have been able to do it well within the 2 minute time limit for the optional objective.
