Head to the Green Dragon tavern and speak to Charles upstairs to begin the mission.

Part 1 – Ambush

Once the mission begins, you will find yourself on a rooftop. We are going to ambush the convoy as it passes below. Move forward and grab the musket. Once the convoy comes to a stop, open fire on the guards below, this will signal your allies to attack. You can continue to pop enemies with the musket or drop down to join in the melee. Once all the guards are dead a scene will play.

Part 2 – Escort

We are now on rails, with the game controlling the path of the convoy leading into the fort. As we are working our way up the road, our allies will be flanking the road ahead. We can give the signal to attack at any time and will need to do so to take out redcoat soldiers before they can detect us.Here are the encounters to look out for on your way to the fort:

1. Near the start, there will be two guards near the corn field on the left.

2. Next you will reach a pair of buildings across from each other, there is a group of guards on the right and a couple on the left here you will have to kill.

3. Just after the two groups in number 2, a dog will alert a single guard who will come around the building from the left, so down him as well.

4. Next a group will enter your line of sight from the cornfield to the right.

5. Finally you will see a large group of guards spread across the entire street ahead, take them all down with a surprise attack too. When you reach the gate a short story sequence will play. We’ll also be granted access to the fort.

Part 3 – Infiltration

Before we get going, let’s have a quick look around. There are three objective markers on the left hand side of the area. These indicate three groups of prisoners we can release from captivity, just ahead and to the right there is a small camp with a good number of guards about. There is also a general patrolling around this area that we can kill to fulfil one of the optional objectives.

Let’s begin. Move down the hill along the road, have one of your assassins attack the enemy that threatens to detect you as he approaches. We are going to get the general first. Crawl into the bushes to the right of the haystack next to the road. Continue to the right behind the tent and into the next set of bushes. From here, you should be able to make out a pair of guards nearby and behind them the general who is marked with a red dot above his head. Note that only the general is looking in your direction. Get out of the bushes so he sees you and comes to investigate. Climb back into the bush and assassinate him when he gets close. Return back to the road. Now let’s go rescue those prisoners!

Hug the large stone wall at the back of the area and make your way to the left between the wall and the tents. Ahead you will see a square wooden structure with a guard leaning against it. Take cover and assassinate him from the corner (we need three corner assassinations for the optional objective this is 1/3). Stay here and you’ll see the first set of prisoners to the right. Wait for the guard patrolling in front of the prisoners to walk away from you and assassinate him. Interact with the prisoners to free them.

Work your way across the camp to the second set of captives at the edge of the water. Use the brush here to hide from the patrolling guard, you can wait for him to go by the crates to the left of the prisoners, enter cover behind the same crates and corner assassinate him when he returns (2/3 for the optional objectives). Free the captives.

Continue along the water’s edge towards the boats. When you reach the wooden boardwalk, wait for the guard that patrols along it to head back towards the boat. When he does, move up to the edge of the dock and hide behind the large wooden boxes here, wait for the patrolling guard to return and corner assassinate him (3/3 for the optional objective).

Climb up onto the boat at the end. Use the central cargo boxes to stealth assassinate the guard patrolling the centre without alerting the others and then walk over to the prisoners and assassinate the guard looking after them. Release the third set of prisoners. This will trigger a scene.

Part 4 – Assassination

As soon as you regain control, you’ll be in combat. The game will also give you a quick tutorial on avoiding firing squad damage (this tutorial will also complete the optional task to do the same thing!).

Kill any enemies attacking you directly and then leg it over to the fort in the distance. Climb up the rampart here to find Silas with a few mates, kill him to complete the memory sequence.
