Assassin’s Creed III Walkthrough

Optional objective/s:

• Lose less than 50% health during the mission.
• Remain undetected on the way to the signal fire.
• Reach the signal fire without being detected.
• Complete all objectives in one playthrough.

After the previous mission, you will be back on dry land. Make your way to the exclamation mark in the southernmost part of New York and enter the hatch to the underground. Work your way through the tunnels to the exclamation marker and speak to Lafayette to begin the mission.

Part 1 – Infiltration

Once we are in the military district, we’ll have three optional objectives to attempt. We have to reach the top of the lighthouse within 3 minutes, remain undetected on the way and lose less than 50% of your health during the course of the mission.

At the start you will be in a well. Grab the enemy in front. Climb the building to the right. Continue along the rooftop here to the far end and jump to the building opposite. Continue over the next two rooftops, being sure to stay out of the guards lines of sight. When you reach the gap that is too large to jump, hop over to the building to the right and use the beam here to jump to the V-shaped tree and from there to the next building.

From this roof we will now be able to see the lighthouse ahead. Hop to the building in front and to the left and from here look down at the courtyard below. Jump down into the hay cart below. If you face the target building, there will be a guard patrolling the elevated circular platform to the left of the light house. There is a second guard to the left who will patrol around the corner of the building behind us and back again. There will be an additional guard behind us and to the right who will patrol up to the hay cart and then away again.

You can assassinate the guard on the right from cover if you wish. When none of the guards are looking, quickly sprint over to the lighthouse and use the scaffold on the right to get a shortcut up and climb the building to the platform indicated by the marker. Interact with the torch here. Following the instructions above, I reached the torch undetected with 55 seconds remaining.

After the cinematic, Connor will be a little groggy. Work your way over to the red indicator and as you approach a scene will play.

Part 2 – Brawl

When you regain control, you will be in a small tunnel looking out at a courtyard. Exit for a scene.

You will now have to fight the bad guy here. He is quite strong and you will be unable to kill him in the normal way. To do it, you will need to counter his attacks when you are near an environmental object (tables, barrels etc.) to damage him with it. Once he has taken enough damage, a scene will play. Press the action button when indicated to complete the mission and the sequence.

Note: For completing sequence 11 you will have earned the achievement ‘Difficult End’.
