Assassin’s Creed Complete Walkthrough

Status: Go to all three cities

Synchronizing Rank 4 Memory – Catch ledge and grab break

*NOTE: You catch a ledge by holding down the grab button.*

After the chat, go out the fort to do more practice. Practice the grab break and then get out, and you can practice the throwing knives too in case you missed that. Get to the Kingdom as you have before. You will get the option to fast travel to any city you want. Onto Damascus.

*NOTE: If you are collecting the King Richard Flags in Kingdom, the catch ledge ability allows you to get all of them. The final one in the ruins can only be attained by catching the ledge.*

======== Damascus ========

Status: 0/6 investigations, need 3 at least

You can go to the Bureau if you like to get verbal guidance of your next move, since there is no indication where you need to go. The next target is in the rich district of Damascus. So go west and you will find a huge building  with multiple view points. There are three around the golden dome of this  building. The one to the north is interesting because it’s the most elaborate yet, and the tallest. That leap of faith will sends chills up your back if you have any fear of heights.

I will take a new approach to the walkthrough from here on out. Since we all basically know how to go about and how to do these investigations (gosh I hope you do), then all I need to say is there are ten view points, and if you get all ten you will find all the target markers on the map to get all six investigations done.

All you do need to know is that to get to the view point on the west edge of town, you must use beams over the guards in the archways to swing across. You have to do this in reverse to get back out of the military area.

Another thing, when going for the view point to the south, you need to find a structure inside the palace walls that is in the southeast corner. You climb up it, then along the wall, and then you should be able to find your way to  the roof from there. Slay your way to the dome and sync up.

Other than that, the rest of the view points should be no trouble; they all have easy ways to get up there, even if it doesn’t seem like it at first.

Once you have all ten view points under your belt, check your map to see that  you have all the missions revealed and most of the save citizen events, if not all of them. You have two eavesdroppings to the north, two informants around the middle of the district, an interrogation to the west, and a pickpocket  mission to the southwest.

The quests are just as you’ve done before, nothing new or challenging. There are just ten citizens in peril this time. Again, once you have all the view  points you can just set markers on your map to any quest and go for it. No use in me constantly telling you what to do when using your map is much easier. The flag collecting in the military quarters is easy if you just take your time;  the path is easy. When you get to the interrogation, you can’t walk past the  line of guards into the military area. You will have to use the beams in the  gate to swing over the guards, then go get the guy in an alley.

Once you have all eight objectives complete (check the lit bars on the double- helix in the pause menu), then go back to the bureau for the feather.

Status: Assassinate Abu’l Nuqoud

Head back to the rich district and return to the palace to the south. This time the place will be full of people attending the party. Get within the walls and mix into the crowd. After you lose full control, be ready for the glitches as you have before. You can tell that things turn sour real quick, so just keep watching until you have to run.

Run left to the little structure in the corner. Use it to climb up and get to the second level. Make your way to the roof and then try to swing around to the south as if you will drop to his balcony to kill him, but you need to keep an eye on the minimap. If you see him start to leave his balcony, chances are he’s trying to escape through the exit to the south. That is your cue to drop down there and chase him down for a quick kill. Remember to ignore the soldiers and just chase him down for a running assassination.

Then another cutscene par usual, and then it’s off to the races. You will  probably have to run quite a ways until you find a way onto the rooftops.  Thanks to the lack of enemies on the roofs in the poor district, just get there and you’re home free. Visit the bureau leader and then choose to fast forward to Masyaf.

Status: Go to either Acre or Jerusalem

Synchronizing Rank 5 Memory – Regain balance and dodge, and sword expertise

Go talk with the guy in charge in the corner, a different conversation than before. Then out the fort to practice the new ability. To dodge, just press the button right as the guy is attacking and push yourself to one side to dodge in that direction.

Now make your way to the archway leading to Kingdom, but choose to zap to  Acre (get the bad city out of the way).
