Assassin’s Creed III Walkthrough

Optional objective/s:

• Kill 10 mercenaries using firearms.
• Do not let Johnson or Hickey lose more than 50% of their health.
• Complete all objectives in one playthrough.

Enter the green Dragon Tavern and once the initial scene has run its course, follow Charles up the stairs and around the corner until you meet a new character – Johnson. After a chat, you’ll have a new objective, so return downstairs and exit.

Run over and speak to the man leaning against the fence to start the mission proper.

Part 1 – Infiltration

When you regain control of Haytham, press the shoot button to take out the guard on the wall in front. Climb the wall in front and cruise over to the weapon rack indicated by the objective marker. Grab a musket. Move forward a short distance along the wooden platform and then look down to the left to see our two allies standing outside the gate with four guards blocking their entrance. Take aim and shoot one and your friends will help you eliminate the rest.

There are four enemies in front of you, another group in the courtyard below to your left and another larger group further over into the courtyard below. You can either continue along the top of the wall or slide down to re-join your companions below. Either way you go, you will get spotted and all the guards will attack. After around 6-7 of them are dead a scene will play.

Shoot the barrels near the door to blow it open and then continue through the new opening. Interact with the chest on the small wooden platform to the right for another story sequence. Kill the five enemies here for another short scene.

You will be prompted to loot the dead bodies here. Doing this not only earns you a little bit of money, but will also replenish your ammo if you start to get low. Return out the gate and kill the four mercenaries that run in to attack you.

Part 2 – Escort

Now look at the mini-map, you’ll be escorting these two guys back to the Green Dragon Tavern. They will walk and you will need to remain close to them. Wander too far away from them and you will de-synchronised and have to re-start from the previous checkpoint.

As you walk between the corn fields, a group of enemies will attack from either side. A pair of musket men will appear on the farmhouse in front as well, so once you’ve dealt with the melee threat, take cover behind the wagon and return fire until they are dead (this and the next section are a good point to rack up those kills for the 10 firearms kills optional task). Note that looting a musket from an enemy will kill them in one shot, but your pistol will take two shots to take them down.

Continue along the path and you will be ambushed once again. This time, musket men will take up positions on two rooftops either side of the street. Take cover behind the wagon and eliminate all four of them to continue and complete the mission.
