Do not worry if you miss one though, as every mission is replayable. Furthermore, the checkpoint system in this game is very friendly in this regard. If you see the red notification that you have failed an objective, pause the game and select “Reload Checkpoint” (not “Restart Memory”) and you will be able to re-attempt the objective(s) until you complete them all.

There are only a couple of missions that are likely to cause a bit of trouble, particularly the chase scenes where you are not allowed to shove anyone in your path. Thankfully, these have been made easier with a patch which reduces the number of NPC’s in your way.

Once you’ve have achieved 100% for all the sequences and missions, the trophy will pop.

Blacksmith (Da):

• Sharpening an axe on a grindstone
• Fitting horseshoes
• Using the furnace
• Repairing a wagon wheel

Doctor (Ly):

• Tending to the herbs behind his house

• Milking a cow
• Cutting wheat
• Pouring grain

Huntress (My):

• Cleaning her musket
• Spit roasting an animal
• Firing her musket on the hunt
• Opening a bear trap

Innkeepers (Ol & Co):

• Cutting meat
• Turning the spit roast
• Pitching hay with a fork
• Watching the livestock grind wheat
• Whipping a bull

Lumberers (Te & Go):

• Both men sawing wood with a large saw
• Chopping wood together
• Loading wood onto a wagon

“I had the hardest time waiting for the lumberers to both use the saw for my final scan of them, but you are able to scan his wife (Di) using the butter churn as one” – Thanks to Bsfoerwgho for the tip.

Miner (No):

• Lighting a lamp at the mine entrance
• Mining with a pickaxe inside the mine

• Writing in the logbook while doing an audit

You can always check in the logbook to see which activities you have already scanned. If you are missing any by the end of the game, visit a city or ride around the frontier on your horse for a few minutes and return to the Homestead to see if the residents you need are performing any other activities.

Secondly, you must have the supplies and the appropriate artisan to craft the recipe. Artisans can be recruited via the Homestead missions. This trophy is much easier when the Homestead residents are levelled up (by completing various side-missions for them) and have access to better materials.

Finally, go to either the Accounting Logbook in the Manor or any book in a General Store and craft the item. It will automatically be added to your Manor and the trophy will unlock.

One of first missions will involve helping a woodworker called Lance who is in danger. In order to complete this side mission, you must simply kill the people who are harassing him up on cliff overlooking the Manor. Upon saving him and completing the side mission, the artisan will now join your Homestead, and be at your disposal to craft woodwork items. The trophy will pop shortly after completing the side mission.

• Blacksmith (Dave – Frontier)
• Doctor (Lyle – Boston, during the farmers’ third side-mission)
• Farmers (Warren & Prudence – Frontier)
• Huntress (Myriam – Homestead)
• Inn-keepers (Oliver & Corrine – Homestead)
• Lumberers (Godfrey & Terry – Homestead/story-related)
• Miner (Norris – Boston)
• Tailor (Ellen – New York)
• Woodworker (Lance – Homestead)
• Priest (Father Thomas – Homestead)

You are only required to complete each characters initial mission denoted by the “Homestead Mission” icon on the map. You do not need to finish each of the characters individual side quests for this trophy.

Note – Please see “Completionist” for an in-depth guide of all the Homestead Missions (required for 100% Sync)

For this trophy, you must win each of the three games mentioned above. Please note that winning Fanorona and Morris on the ship in Sequence 1 and then winning Bowls on the Homestead will not count.

All three games must be won on the Homestead. You must initiate and win each of the three games outside of a mission for it to count towards the trophy.

Also please be aware that winning Bowls at the harbour will not count towards this trophy. You must win a game of Bowls at the main Homestead.

Note – You will need to complete the Level 3 mission for the lumberers before you can play Bowls, as this particular mission is basically an introduction to the game.

Remember that winning a game of Bowls within this mission will not count towards the trophy. You must initiate another game outside of the mission for it to count.

Here is a summary of the rules and aim of each of the games.

Fanorona

• 9 row by 5 column board game. Each player places 22 black or white pieces on the board.
• The aim of the game is try to capture the opponent’s pieces by moving his own pieces either toward or away from them.
• When a piece is taken, all consecutive opponent’s pieces standing behind that piece, will also be taken/captured.
• One piece cannot move to the same slot two times in one turn.

Morris

• Each player has 9 stones. Players take it in turns to places stones.
• Obtaining three stones in a row gives the player the right to remove an opponent’s stone.
• The aim of the game is to leave the opponent with less than 3 pieces or block all of his moves.
• Mill – When 3 of your stones are placed in a straight line. Allows player to take an opponent’s piece, which isn’t part of the mill.
• When a player is left with only 3 pieces, he can move them to any empty slot on the board.

Bowls

• To begin, a player will throw a red glowing ball.
• The aim of the game is to land the other balls as close as possible to the red glowing ball.
• Players will take turns to throw their balls. The closer to the red ball, the more points you will receive.
• If one player doesn’t manage to land the ball closer than their opponent, then they will be granted another turn.
• Each player has a total of 4 normal balls to throw.
• The game will end when one player reaches 5 points in total.

The key to getting this trophy is practice and learning your opponent’s moves. As every game plays differently, there is no step-by-step guide. However if you make use of the java programs stated above and/or take a look at the video below, you shouldn’t have any problems obtaining this trophy.

Fort Wolcott is an off-map area in the game, as you won’t explore the area during the main story.

In order to gain access to the fort, you first must complete the initial mission aboard the Aquila (“The Hard Way”). This is the last mission in Sequence 5, so it will actually be during Sequence 6 when you can first attempt this trophy. In addition you must have collected at least one Peg Leg Trinket (which is marked by a goblet icon on the map) and returned it to Peg Leg, who is sat in a chair in front of the pier in the Homestead (where the anchor icon is). Once you have spoken to Peg Leg and he has revealed Fort Wolcott as a location, you can use your ship to reach Fort Wolcott by selecting it from the location map when you speak to any Harbourmaster. The trophy will pop upon completing the mission in the fort.

This trophy is similar to “Bring Down the House”, except that you must find all of the 24 Peg Leg Trinkets and have completed the four previous missions associated with this side-quest. This can only be achieved after Sequence 8, as there are Trinkets to be found in New York.

Once you have returned all Trinkets to Peg Leg at the Homestead and completed all 4 previous missions, you will have access to an area known as Oak Island. You must complete the main objectives in the mission and find Captain Kidd’s Treasure to earn the trophy.

The basic premise of these missions is to destroy the enemy ships, before they sink you.

Please see below a list of the fundamental controls you need to be aware of when sailing the ship:

•  Steers the rudder.
• Camera.
• Increase speed but decrease maneuverability by opening sails.
• Decrease speed but increase maneuverability by taking down sails.
• Brace to reduce damage from incoming fire and tidal waves.
• Fire deck-mounted swivel guns. Hold down the button until the target goes red, then release.
• Fire a broadside cannon volley. Hold down until ships pass along the side of your boat, then fire.
• Select primary cannon ammo type.

Upon unlocking the Naval Missions in Sequence 5 after you first use the Aquila, go to a Harbourmaster and look at the book to the left of him. The book lets you purchase upgrades. The majority are quite expensive, but by Sequence 5 you should have enough money to purchase the “Extra Cannon”, which costs £2500.

Please refer to the video below for assistance on how to earn this trophy.

Note – Upgrading the Aquila also counts towards the 100% Data Sync. Therefore you must fully upgrade the vessel by purchasing all available upgrades. See below for a full list of upgrades.

All Aquila Upgrades (Total = £104,500)

• Wooden Hull Reinforcement – £13,000
• Iron Hull Reinforcement – £25,000
• Extra Cannon – £2,500
• Heat Shot – £19,000
• Grapeshot – £17,000
• Improved Rudder – £11,000
• Piercing Round – £9,000
• Naval Ram – £8,000

• Boston Brawlers – Defeat one enemy with your fists.
• Frontiersmen – Find a trading post in the Frontier.
• Hunting Society – Kill and skin one animal.
• Thieves – Pickpocket £100.

This trophy is practically unmissable and you should get it at the start of Sequence 5, when you first encounter a cougar in the Frontier. This is a scripted event that requires a simple QTE to kill it. Skin it, and you will receive an invitation to join the Hunting Society.

Note – It seems that if you talk to Washington before unlocking the second tier of Frontiersmen challenges, then the game will bug on you. However, there is a fix, which is to reload Sequence 9 Memory 1 (“Missing Supplies”) and talk to Washington twice there.

Thanks to Zanish09 for bringing this bug to our attention, and to jamesdevil for providing the fix.

Once all 6 missions are completed, visit the Liberation Contact in the area and he will provide you with a short mission where you kill a Templar using a new Assassin ability. Once you do this, the District will be liberated and the contact will join you as an Assassin.

Then, once all 3 Districts are liberated, you unlock the final Liberation Mission for the whole city, which involves assassinating a target in a restricted area. Once the job is done, you will earn this trophy and prices in shops across the area will be considerably cheaper.

Note – The convoys don’t actually have to reach the cities for the trophy to unlock, as it will do so as soon as you press to confirm the convoy.

To retrieve a page, you need to do a small bit of free-running to catch up to a page, as they blow away once you approach. If you synchronise at the viewpoints, the map icons showing the Almanac pages will appear on the mini-map. To make this even easier, purchase a map of any District at a General Store and collect all the Almanac Pages in that area.

Note – Please see “Completionist” below for locations of all the Almanac pages (required for 100% sync)

Note – In order to achieve 100% sync, you must complete all of the main and optional objectives for any given sequence or mission.

To check your progress, press and go to the Animus DNA Tracker tab. At the top you will see your current sync score out of 17070. Evidently, you will need 17070/17070 for this trophy. The following list details everything you need to 100% for this trophy:

Please see below for a collection of videos and walkthroughs to help you reach 100% sync in the game. Alternatively, you can use the labeled maps found in the spoiler tabs below to find all of the collectibles in each region.

You’ll need to reach 8535/17070 (50%) sync score to unlock this trophy.

Most enemies use muskets as their primary weapon. You can pick up weapons from dead enemies. There are also weapon stands in every major city and you can get a musket from there. The double assassination has to be a melee kill! Shooting won’t work because the bullet does not penetrate the human body and can only kill one enemy per shot. Look for two guards that are standing right next to each other and line them up before you go for the kill. Also make sure that your musket is loaded! You might not be able to trigger the double assassination if there isn’t a bullet in your musket.

This can be done during DNA Sequence 10 – Memory 3 (Battle of Monmouth). Right after the sequence starts you will be in control of a cannon and have to fight off some enemies. Aim slightly to the left and as far back as you can. Shoot into the approaching group of soldiers and you should get the 15 kills on your first shot. If you miss the shot you can either restart the checkpoint or wait for another group of soldiers.

Rope Darts can be bought at any general store. To hang enemies you need to climb a tree branch or a wooden beam, equip a Rope Dart and throw it with  while moving the left stick down. A great place to farm these kills is in the very beginning of DNA sequence 6 – memory 2. Go to the DNA Tracker menu in the pause screen to replay memories. Follow the target until you encounter two guards. Now climb up the tree on the other side of the road and hang one of the enemies. After hanging enemies you have to wait for a few seconds until they die. Keep reloading the checkpoint and repeat until the trophy / achievement pops up. You can also do this in free roam.

A convoy is a horse-drawn carriage that is guarded by some soldiers and a drummer. They can only be found in the Frontier area. There are fixed spawn points for them, but they can also appear randomly at any daytime and weather condition. One of these convoys has a 50% spawn chance in front of the Templar Fort that is located in the south-western corner of the map. There is a harbor nearby that can be used as a fast travel station. If the convoy doesn’t spawn you can travel to another map and return later. To actually loot the convoy without killing anyone you just have to use your fists instead of lethal weapons. This will knock your enemies out and not kill them. You can also use smoke bombs to stun the soldiers and finish them more quickly. Once all guards are defeated you have to interact with the back of the carriage for some nice loot. This technique can also be used to farm money quickly!

Be careful that you do not accidentally throw enemies against objects (e.g. the carriage or a tree) and do not kick unconscious bodies. Both of these actions count as a kill and will prevent you from unlocking the trophy / achievement. The guards still have to be moving a little bit when they are on the ground. The safest way is to use no counters at all, just normal strikes. Don’t worry if you have captured the Forts already. There will be fewer convoys then, but they still spawn from time to time.

Enemies will sometimes go into a “firing line” formation to shoot you with their muskets. You can avoid getting hit by grabbing a nearby enemy. There will be a tutorial for this maneuver at the end of Sequence 2 – Memory 5. Press  to use an enemy as a human shield. You can keep restarting the checkpoint to farm the required blocks easily. The DNA can be replayed in the pause menu at any time. You can also do this in free roam later on.

A good place to do this is at the end of DNA Sequence 5 – Memory 2. Memories can be replayed by going to the “DNA Tracker” menu in the pause screen. You will have to climb to a rooftop and after a cutscene you will automatically get full notoriety. There will be lots of Jagers on the streets then. Jagers are more agile and stronger than normal enemies. They usually wear a black uniform, have a sword, a pistol and grenades. Counter their attack with and press  to break their defence.

Anyone who has played previous games in the series such as Brotherhood or Revelations should know how the following steps work. Once you acquire an assassin, hold to bring up the Assassin Mission Map/Menu and press to access the different states and missions that are available. Then, you must assign your recruit to a contract/mission. Try to pick missions which are relatively easy and have a high chance of success. Your assassin will then be dispatched in an attempt to complete the mission. They will return after the real-life time stated in the contract has elapsed.

Simply do this periodically every time they have completed/finished a particular mission and they will earn XP. Your assassin will need to earn 1100 XP to reach Level 11 (Assassin Rank). The trophy will pop when your first assassin reaches this rank/level.

Note – If your assassin fails a mission, they will not be lost forever like in previous games. They will simply be unavailable for five minutes before they recover.

To earn this trophy you must exchange/sell at least one undamaged animal pelt to every general store in the game. The only way you can acquire undamaged pelts is by killing an animal with your hidden blade. There are a total of 9 different general stores which are scattered across different regions in the game. There are 3 stores in Boston, 3 in the Frontier and a further 3 in New York. If you are having difficulty locating any of the stores, please refer to the list and video guide below.

Boston

• Child’s Still House of Dry Goods
• Elizabeth Murray’s Fineries
• Hancock’s Store No. 5

Frontier Stores

• Murdoch’s Barter
• The Milliner’s Wares
• The Walking Haberdashery

New York

• De Lancey’s Imports & Goods
• Rhinelander’s Sugars
• Van Brugh’s Spices

Note – There is no way of checking which general stores you have traded at in-game, so feel free to use this list to track your progress.

Predators are Bears, Bobcats, Cougars, Wolves, Foxes. There are a bunch of scripted events in the Frontier area where one of these animals kills a hunter. They have fixed locations and can happen at any daytime. Go to the Packanack hunting zone on the western part of the map. There is a road going from north to south. Follow the road until you come to a restricted area (highlighted in red). Go up a hill to the west and you will encounter several bobcats, as well as two hunters. You may not be in open conflict with any of the hunters or animals! Otherwise, they won’t attack each other. Don’t shoot or harm the bobcats, they might run away. If you cannot get this done on the first try then get yourself killed and everyone will respawn. Just wait until one of the hunters runs into a bobcat and keep watching.

At the beginning of the mission, you will need to follow your mother back to your village. Once you reach there, a cutscene will play and she will reward Ratonhnhaké:ton with the hidden blades. Once the cutscene is over, you will have to defend your village from attack with your new weapons. This trophy will unlock as soon as this battle starts.

There are a few things to bear in mind when you are using the Wolf Cloak:

1: You must use the Hidden Blades to kill enemies without being detected. If you use the tomahawk you will be discovered.

2: At no point press  whilst the cloak is equipped as you will start running and this will deactivate the ability, making you visible.

3: Bear in mind that your health will deteriorate surprisingly fast. To recover it, hide in long grass or a haystack and deactivate Wolf Cloak with  . Your health will regenerate equally as quickly. If you are in an area surrounded by enemies, press  when hidden to automatically exit your hiding spot with your Wolf Cloak on, thus remaining undetected.

You will need to kill 25 enemies whilst invisible. This will come very quickly as you can easily kill quite a few guards in the last three missions with the Cloak, and also there are many enemies to kill whilst traveling between missions. Attack Convoy missions are also great for this, as you can sneak up behind the guards at the back of the convoy and kill them without being detected. Once you have killed all the guards walking behind the convoy, deactivate Wolf Cloak to get your health back (you won’t be seen as the cage is in the way) then activate it again and kill the guards in between the two cages. Replenish your health again and then activate the Cloak and kill the guards walking in front of the convoy.

Note that if you attack a group of guards and are detected, none of your kills in that group will be counted, even if you killed a couple of guards. You must either kill the whole group without being detected or just kill a couple and run off without being chased. If you wish to kill a whole group but find your health running out, kill as many as you can then run and hide to recover your health before heading back to finish them off.

• Complete all 6 main story missions with 100% sync
• Complete 5 Attack Convoy missions
• Complete 5 Help the Hungry missions
• Complete 5 Wolf Rescue missions
• Collect 3 Memory Artifacts

Nothing in this list is challenging at all, so you should have no problems. The side-missions are in abundance in the Frontier and randomly generate as you travel. As mentioned in the Roadmap, traveling between the 3 towns in the middle of the Frontier Map either on foot or by horse seems to generate more side-missions than other areas. There are an infinite amount of these side-missions, but you will only need to complete 5 of each for the trophy. Note that opening all Treasure Chests is not required for this or any other trophy. Similarly, progress in the main game’s version of the Frontier does not count towards this trophy; it’s a completely separate entity.

You can check how many of each type of mission you have completed, as well as your total sync %, in the DNA Tracker in the Pause menu (press  and then  twice). You can see your overall sync value out of 1000, as well as a breakdown of all the missions.

MAIN STORY MISSIONS

Mission 1: Awaken

Kill 5 Bluecoats at the church while remaining undetected.

The mini-map is your best friend for this objective. Always keep an eye on it for the red dots which indicate an enemy position. When you get this objective, run up the tree in front of you and do a Leap of Faith into a haystack. Make sure that you have no weapons equipped by selecting your fists from the quick select menu (you are unarmed by default, so you shouldn’t have to press anything). Run ahead of your mother into the haystack ahead of you. Press  to snap the neck of the guard standing next to the haystack. Then climb out and run to the broken wall to the left of the cemetery, where there is a guard standing on his own. Kill him and then hide in the long grass nearby. There will now be two guards in front of you. Wait until one starts walking behind the left wall of the church and follow him in the long grass to kill him. Then go up to the edge of the wall of the church and look round the corner to see a guard crouching. Press  to whistle and attract his attention, and when he walks over to you, press  to do a corner assassination. Finally, go back round the other side of the church (where you came from) and you should see the last guard standing with his back of you to the right of the church. Creep up in the grass behind him and kill him. Your objective will come up as completed so even if you get detected, you will still achieve 100% sync.

Prevent any Bluecoat reinforcements from reaching Concord.

This objective will appear when you are told to use the cannon in Concord. To fire press :x:. Remember to aim slightly ahead of the soldiers, as there is a second delay between firing and the shell landing.

Enemies will come from three areas: the rooftop to the right of you, the field across from the road and down the main road from the left. The only ones you need to worry about are the enemies marching down the road, as the enemies on the rooftop and in the field will stay there. After you fire one shot at the enemies on the road, you will have a few seconds before they come back. Take this opportunity to fire on the enemies on the rooftop to the right. They will come back later but ignore them after this point, as they won’t damage you enough to kill you.

Now, you want to aim your cannon on the main road directly in front of the wall where the guards in the field stop at. Fire when the guards come along the main road and are about one second away from that point. You will not only wipe out the group on the road, but the group in the field too. Occasionally two guards will ride down the road on horses so be sure to fire when they are a bit further back, the reason being they move quicker than the marching guards.

Do not permit any Bluecoat runners to light a fuse.

For this objective, you will be in the middle of a huge fight in Concord. The key to achieving this objective is listening to your mother and watching the mini-map. She will say variations on “someone is trying to light a fuse!” and a large red dot will appear on your map (much larger than the normal soldiers). Don’t bother with any of the other guards round the town, as they are busy fighting others and won’t harm you.

When a new torch-bearing soldier appears, he will run towards one of the houses to light some explosive barrels. Intercept him along the way by equipping your tomahawk and attacking him. You should only have to press  once as he will not offer any resistance and will die instantly. Occasionally a Bluecoat will appear on the other side of town and will be too far away to catch. When this happens, hold down  for a couple of seconds to aim your bow, then fire at the guard. One arrow will be enough to kill him. Once you’ve killed 8 runners this objective will be completed.

Mission 2: Warn The Village

There are no bonus objectives for this mission. Note that after you receive your Hidden Blades and the Uniquely Familiar trophy, you will be in a battle. You cannot win this battle no matter how hard you try, so just let yourself be defeated.

Mission 3: Sky World Journey

Don’t touch any rocks during slides.

After following the wolves for a short while, you will slide down a slope. The area around you is very white, but in the distance you should be able to see the large grey rocks approaching as you slide. Move left or right with and to avoid them. Your character moves pretty quickly during the slide, meaning that even when the rocks are close, you can usually avoid them if you turn quickly. There are three separate slides during this section and there is a checkpoint before each one. If you hit a rock, pause the game and select “Reload from checkpoint” then you won’t have to go back very far at all.

Kill the Elk without alerting it.

This is basically unmissable, as the game tells you to do exactly this. Use your Wolf Cloak ability by pressing  to go invisible. Then walk up to the elk and press  to assassinate it.

Mission 4: One-Man Wolf Pack

Kill 2 Bluecoats with a single arrow.

This is easier than it looks. Once you search the area for the clues, a cutscene will play. Once it finishes, this objective will come up. You should see 2 Bluecoats run up the steep hill in front of you. Follow them up there until they stop running and they will stand in single file in front of you. Equip your bow and target the first guard, then hold down  for a couple of seconds and fire. The arrow should kill both guards, but if not restart from the checkpoint and have another go.

Kill the runner by calling the Wolf Pack.

Again, this is another objective heavily emphasized by the game. After the cutscene, the guard will run off. You are told to follow him and use the “Call Wolf Pack” ability to take him down. Run after him for a short while until he is within targeting range, then press  to call in your wolves to take him down.

Mission 5: Path Of Revenge

Use no stalking bushes during the eavesdrop.

For this objective you are not allowed to use any of the tall grass or bushes to hide in. However you can use other hiding spots and you will need to, since you will be in Wolf Cloak mode to avoid detection and will need to recover health. To start off, use your Wolf Cloak ability and jump into the haystack within the eavesdropping circle. You will automatically deactivate the Cloak so your health will recover. Once the guards start to move off, press  to leave the hiding spot whilst cloaked. Then carefully creep forward between the bushes and do not touch them. Once you can move freely, run into the next haystack and recover your health. Finally when the guards move again, emerge from the haystack and run forwards to the well and hide in there. This objective will be completed whilst you are hiding in the well. Once you’ve accomplished it, leave the well and continue with the mission.

Mission 6: Justice Served

Free the bear without killing or alerting the guards.

Again the game will tell you to use Wolf Cloak to do this. Once you see the cutscene showing you the cage, equip your Wolf Cloak and walk around the guards ahead of you to the cage. Before you interact with it (by holding  ) remove the Wolf Cloak, otherwise you will die as the cage takes about 10 seconds to open and your health will be depleted. The guards will not turn round and see you.

Stay undetected in the fort.

This is again much easier than it appears due to the Wolf Cloak ability. Use it to move from bush to bush (un-equipping it and recovering your health when you do so – you’ll never be discovered). You don’t have to kill any Bluecoats, just move towards the orange circle on your map within the fort and go up the ramp. Use Eagle Vision to find Arnold and walk up to him with your Wolf Cloak ability activated. Make sure your Hidden Blades are equipped and press  to assassinate him.

SIDE-MISSIONS 

5 Attack Convoys

Convoys spawn randomly in the Frontier but obviously they can only be found on roads. The long road from the west to the east of the Frontier in the middle of the Map is the best place to find these, as they spawn quite frequently. Note that the convoy you rescue during the DLC story does not count towards the 5 missions needed.

When you are running round the map you will get a notification informing you that an enemy convoy is nearby, shown by a small red rectangle on the map. Run over to it and there will be 10 Bluecoats guarding the two cages – three each marching in front and behind and 4 in the middle between the cages. Simply kill them all (using your Wolf Cloak works a treat here as you can hide behind the cages for cover to replenish your health) and free the prisoners from the two cages by going up to each one and pressing :o:.

If you are having trouble finding multiple convoys, luckyegg has provided an excellent tip. When you come across a convoy and free the prisoners, wait until you get a notification saying “Mission Complete”, then Pause the game and select “Quit”. Now Load the DLC from the Main Menu again, then you will appear back in the same location and a convoy will spawn right in front of you. I have also confirmed that this works 100% of the time.

5 Help The Hungry

Again, these spawn randomly but most frequently in the towns and also the caves on the borders of the Frontier. To “feed” the citizen you will need to have Raw Meat in your inventory. To get this you will need to skin the wolves which attack you around the Frontier. You will encounter many of them during your travels, defeating them is a simple matter of completing a two-button QTE and then pressing  to skin them.

When you are notified of a starving citizen nearby, locate him on your Map and then approach him and press  . One “Raw Meat” will be taken from your inventory and this mission will be complete.

Similar to the “Attack Convoy” missions, if you want to get the missions out of the way quickly, feed a starving citizen and then Pause and Quit. Load up the DLC and you will spawn right next to the same starving citizen, allowing you to quickly complete the mission again. Thanks again to luckyegg for the tip.

5 Wolf Rescue

Another random event, the Wolf Rescue missions involve you defending a citizen from three wolves. To defeat them, run up to the citizen and just let the wolves attack you. They will attack in turn and you will need to press two buttons in a QTE to defeat each one. You have plenty of time to press the buttons and the first button is always , followed by another of the 3 face buttons i.e. .

I stumbled upon a very quick method to finish these 5 missions, entirely by accident. Strangely you only to defeat two of the three wolves to get the “Mission Complete” notification. Therefore kill two of them then when you see the notification, let the third wolf maul you by not pressing any buttons during the QTE. You will die very quickly and then respawn right next to the same citizen in need of help. Simply defend him again and repeat until you have completed 5. This should take you only a couple of minutes.

3 Memory Artifacts

There are three “Lucid Memory Artifacts” to find around the map. The first one is available right at the beginning, whilst the last two are only available at the end of the story. When you get within their general vicinity, the symbol for the artefact will appear on your Map. When you find the artefact, interact with it by pressing . You will be shown a holographic image which indicates that fragment has been found (even though the symbol stays on your map). The locations for the three are as follows:

1. When you are travelling to your second mission, this will already be on your map and is directly en route to the mission marker. It is located on a table inside a burnt-out house in the eastern town of the Frontier.

2. Available only when the story is completed. When you complete the story, the game will automatically back you out to the Main Menu. Boot up the DLC again and you will spawn a village in the north of the map. You will be close to a river. Follow it east a short way and the artefact will be on the riverbank.

3. Available when the story is complete. On your map, in the middle of the Frontier on the western edge, there is a large fort (where you earlier completed a mission). In the middle of this fort, inside one of the small guard tents, you will find this fragment on a table.

When all three are collected, a symbol on your map will appear in the south-eastern corner. This is the location for a video which sheds some light on the fragments, however, it is not required to watch this video for the trophy.

After freeing the bear from captivity, you will need to use your Wolf Cloak to sneak into the fort. Once you do so, go to the orange circle on your map and go up the ramp in the area. Scan the surroundings with Eagle Vision and you will see a gold target walking round. This is Benedict Arnold. Simply run up to him with your Wolf Cloak activated and your Hidden Blades equipped. Press  to assassinate him and earn this trophy.

You will almost certainly earn this trophy without even trying, as 1 km really isn’t that far. I got this trophy during Mission 3 whilst playing naturally, as most of the distance is already covered in the ability’s tutorial in Mission 2. If for some strange reason you haven’t unlocked this by the end of the story, you are free to roam around in Boston post-game. You will get this in a matter of seconds using the ability to fly across the rooftops.

• Complete all 9 main story missions with 100% sync
• Complete 4 Attack Convoy missions
• Complete 5 Help the Hungry missions
• Complete 4 Rescue Civilian missions
• Complete 2 Wolf Rescue missions
• Collect 3 Memory Artefacts

None of these side-missions are particularly challenging in their own right but be prepared to fight many guards at once. Unlike the sparsely-populated Frontier of the first episode, Boston is densely-packed with guards. If they so much as see you running around, you will be attacked. Therefore, during the vast majority of these missions, you will have to kill many more guards than originally shown to complete these missions, particularly during the “Attack Convoy” scenarios. There are far fewer hiding places, so even Wolf Cloak cannot help you much as there is nowhere to hide and regain your health.

Fortunately, unlike in Episode 1, these side-missions spawn in the same location every time. Once you complete one, simply leave the immediate vicinity before returning by which time the mission scenario will have regenerated.

You can check how many of each type of mission you have completed, as well as your total sync %, in the DNA Tracker in the Pause menu (press  and then  twice). You can see your overall sync value out of 1125, as well as a breakdown of all the missions.

4 Attack Convoys

When you are running round the map you will get a notification informing you that an enemy convoy is nearby, these are displayed as a small red rectangle on the map. Run over to it and there will be 10 Bluecoats guarding the two cages – three each marching in front and behind and 4 in the middle between the cages. The best tactic to start you off is to employ one of your Animal Powers. If you choose to use the Wolf Cloak, activate it and take out as many as you can before your health deteriorates. If you use Eagle Assassinate, perch yourself on a ledge above the convoy and take out a group of two Bluecoats to thin the number of guards. Either way, a load of other guards are going to join in, meaning you will have to defeat all of them before you lose your notoriety. Once you do, free the prisoners from the two cages by going up to each one and pressing :o:.

See the map below for a guaranteed spawn point of this mission.

5 Help The Hungry

To “feed” a citizen you will need to have Raw Meat in your inventory. These can be obtained either by looting chests. pickpocketing from the people around Boston or from your time in the Frontier. I already had the maximum of 10 in my inventory from Episode 1 and they carry over here.

When you are notified of a starving citizen nearby, locate him on your Map and then approach him and press  . One “Raw Meat” will be taken from your inventory and this mission will be complete.

See the map below for a guaranteed spawn point of this mission.

4 Rescue Civilian

When running around Boston, you will be informed that Bluecoats are about to execute a civilian. Get there as quickly as you can and take out the guards surrounding the citizen. There are usually only 2 or 3 that need to be killed for the mission to count as completed, but it is extremely likely that a bunch of other guards will see you and come rushing to attack you. Either fight them off or run away and become anonymous again.

See the map below for a guaranteed spawn point of this mission.

2 Wolf Rescue

The Wolf Rescue missions involve you defending a citizen from three wolves. To defeat them, run up to the citizen and stab as many of the wolves with your hidden blades as you can before they attack you. You can also just stand there and let all the wolves attack you anyway. Either way, you will need to engage in a QTE, whereby you need to press two buttons to defeat each wolf. You have plenty of time to press the buttons and the first button is always  , followed by another of the 3 face buttons i.e. .

3 Memory Artefacts

There are three “Lucid Memory Artefacts” to find around Boston. The first one is available right after Sequence 4, whilst the last two are only available at the end of the story. When you get within their general vicinity, the symbol for the artefact will appear on your Map. When you find the artefact, interact with it by pressing . You will be shown a holographic image which indicates that fragment has been found. The locations for the three are as follows:

1. After Sequence 3 ends you will be on a rooftop. Directly on your route to the mission marker for Mission 4, this fragment will be in your path in the form of a musket on a rooftop. See the map below for the precise location of this fragment (it is the South-Easterly one).

2. Located in the far north of Boston, this artefact will be in the form of a hat on a wooden table underneath an awning. See the map below for the precise location of this fragment (it is the one in the north).

3. The final fragment is located in the Mid-Western part of Boston and takes the form of a crate in the middle of a huge group of guards. Your best bet is to sneak past them with your Wolf Cloak ability and interact with the artefact, otherwise you face a massive fight before you can become anonymous.

When all three are collected, a symbol on your map will appear in the North-East of Boston, out to sea on the Aquila. This is the location for a video which sheds some light on the fragments, however, it is not required to watch this video for the trophy.

After you have defended your fellow soldiers from the waves of enemies and they have boarded the Aquila, Putnam will appear holding your friend Kanen’tó:kon hostage at knife-point. You will have to use one of your Animal Powers to kill Putnam. Either use your Wolf Cloak ability to become invisible and then run to him and stab him or, even easier, use Eagle Assassinate. This is done by equipping your Eagle power, holding and aiming towards Putnam with the  and then releasing  . You will fly over to him and assassinate him thus earning you this trophy.

You will almost certainly earn this trophy without even trying, as you get to try out the power during the tutorial in Mission 2, and then on a couple of further occasions in the story. You will also encounter a large number of guards in New York who will attack you. Every time you get a few bunched together, use this power to clear them out and work towards this trophy.

If you want to get this trophy as quickly as possible, you can do so in Mission 2: “Sky World Journey”. As soon as you obtain the ability, you will come to a section where Washington sends a huge number of guards running towards you. Kill all of them with Bear Might, then pause the game and select “Reload Checkpoint”. Kill all of them again, and it should be enough to earn you this trophy.

• Complete all 8 main story missions with 100% Sync
• Complete 3 Attack Convoy missions
• Complete 3 Defend Civilian missions
• Complete 6 Help the Hungry missions
• Complete 3 Rescue Civilian missions
• Collect 3 Lucid Memory Artefacts

None of these side-missions are particularly challenging in their own right, but be prepared to fight many guards at once, as often when trying to clear out the enemies needed for the mission, many more join the fray. Bear Might comes in extremely handy here, as it can wipe out large groups of enemies at once.

Fortunately, side-missions spawn in the same location every time. Once you complete one, simply leave the immediate vicinity before returning, by which time the mission scenario will have regenerated.

You can check how many of each type of mission you have completed, as well as your total Sync %, in the DNA Tracker in the Pause menu (press  and then  twice). You can see your overall sync value out of 3000 (which should be at 2125 at the beginning of this DLC if you obtained 100% in the previous episodes, meaning that The Redemption is out of 875), as well as a breakdown of all the missions.

MAIN STORY MISSIONS 

Mission 1: Dark Waters

Successfully brace when attacked – #/5

When this mission starts, head towards the enemy ships and when you reach them set your sail to “Stop” and don’t move. Let the four ships around you come to you and attack you. Once an enemy ship is by your side, they will launch a broadside at you, which is indicated by the section of ocean between the side of their ship and yours being covered by a red marker. To brace from an incoming attack, press  and you will crouch down, avoiding the vast majority of damage from the attack. Note that the game is very temperamental at detecting a successful brace in this section. It seems that it will not register unless you brace at the exact moment that the enemy cannons fire, so be careful to listen out for the sound of them firing and immediately press :sq:. You will likely have to brace many more than 5 times to complete this objective.

Do not hit any rocks in the minefield.

This one is much easier than it appears. There are only a couple of rocks to dodge and they are easily visible. Do not shoot the mines as you will desynchronise, and try to stick to one side of the minefield to minimize your maneuvering. Swap between “Stop” and “Half Sail” if you need to increase or decrease speed and make turning easier, but never go to “Full Sail” or you will likely lose control. Captain Faulkner will warn you when a “rogue wind” is coming, but these affect your ship minimally if you are travelling slowly, so you shouldn’t need to worry.

Destroy 80% of Washington’s armada in the upper bay.

This objective should not cause you any trouble if you have finished the naval missions in the main game. The problem that a lot of people seem to be having is triggering the end-of-mission cutscene before 80% of the ships are destroyed. This is because when the second wave of ships come, they are off in the distance and if you go towards them, the mission will end once you pass an invisible point in the sea. What you need to do is stay in the exact same spot as you start off in. Destroy the mines with your cannon which will destroy the small ships in front of you, then take down the bigger ships with Heatshot and the smaller ships with the cannon. Once the second wave appears, be patient and wait a couple of minutes for them to come to you. It’s possible to pick off the smaller ships (2 cannon shots each) from a long distance, but you will need to wait until the bigger ships are upon you to broadside them.

Mission 2: Sky World Journey

Do not touch the ground.

After you remove the first golden spear from the giant bear, you will have to travel across various glitchy Animus platforms to get to the other spears. Simply use Eagle Flight to traverse across them, and when you reach the bear, jump off onto its fur with  and :x:. As long as you use Eagle Flight and don’t walk/run off the edge of the platforms, you should easily complete this objective.

Do not take damage from Washington’s guards

This is the objective where you can keep using Bear Might and reloading the checkpoint to farm the Aftershock trophy. Keep running towards the large image of Washington and spam Bear Might with  whenever a group of guards approach you to attack. Most of them will run right past you anyway, causing you little trouble.

Mission 3: The Parting Of The Blue Sea

Kill 50 Bluecoats: #/50

This is another extremely simple objective. A lot of enemies will already be grouped together, so go into the middle of them and use Bear Might to wipe them out. Use Eagle Assassination on the snipers on the ledges above to stop them taking pot-shots at you. If your health gets low due to overuse of Animal Powers, just kill enemies as normal, chaining kills until your health returns.

The mission will end once you are told to destroy the front gate with Bear Might, so make sure you’ve killed 50 Bluecoats before you do so.

Mission 4: Feeding The Masses

Kill Fitzwilliams while remaining undetected.

There are a couple of ways to do this. Firstly, use Eagle Flight to get on top of the wall above you next to the gate. You can then choose to either drop down, equip Wolf Cloak and assassinate him whilst invisible, or use Eagle Assassinate on him by highlighting him and holding  . Either way, this should cause you no trouble.

Do not let the cart’s state dip below 50%.

This is the hardest bonus objective in this DLC, so it might take a few tries. Equip both your Hidden Blades and Eagle Flight and be ready for the first two guards to appear together in front of you. When they do, aim towards them and hold  to highlight them, then release  to get your first Double-Eagle Assassination. Turn around and Eagle Assassinate the sniper on both roofs on each side of the street. Head back on top of the cart and carry on down the street. There will be another two guards to get your second Double-Eagle Assassination, and immediately after you kill them, the third and final opportunity will be the two guards on the roof directly above you and to the left.

After this, two guards will attack the cart from the ground, whilst another sniper will do so from above. Eagle Assassinate the one on the ground nearest to you, then aim upwards at the sniper and Eagle Assassinate him. Then the last guard should have climbed onto the cart by now, so Eagle Assassinate him from above. Further down the road, you will come to some explosive barrels that you will need to use Bear Might on to destroy. Before you do so, you will be attacked by a large group of enemies. Take them out using a combination of your normal weapons, Bear Might and Summon Wolf Pack (hold  ), whilst Eagle Assassinating any snipers above. After they’re all dead, destroy the barrels and you will finish the mission.

Perform 3 Double-Eagle Assassinations.

See above.

Mission 5: One Step At A Time

There are no optional objectives in this mission.

Mission 6: The Signal

Save at least 3 firing squad victims.

When you approach the marker from the rooftops, you will see the victims tied up in front of a row of soldiers. Eagle Assassinate a couple of them from your vantage point and the rest of the guards will attack you and leave the victims alone. Simply kill them all (Bear Might works well here), and then free the victims.

Reach the tower using only chained Eagle Flights.

After the cutscene, you will see a tower in the distance that you must reach. To chain Eagle Flights, you must aim towards the next ledge and press  just before you land. I personally find spamming  before you land works better than trying to time it correctly. Chain Flights from rooftop to rooftop, then across two flagpoles before finally settling on a platform halfway up the tower. If you fail and touch a surface, simply pause and restart the checkpoint.

Kill 5 guards with one use of Bear Might.

Instead of destroying the rubble at the bottom of the tower, run around the camp until you get a group of guards following you. There are loads of enemies, so getting 5 together in a group should be really easy. Once you have a group, use Bear Might in the middle of them and you will easily accomplish this objective.

Mission 7: Halls Of Injustice

Do not kill any animals in Washington’s zoo.

After you use Bear Might to bust through the wall and kill the Bluecoats on the bridge, you will have to analyze three clues. One is on the side with the bear, and the other two are on the bobcat’s side. To avoid being attacked by the animals, drop to the floor where they are roaming and immediately activate Wolf Cloak with :tr:. Run over to the clue whilst invisible and activate it, then change to Eagle Flight to get back up to the bridge. Do the same on the other side and you will complete this objective.

Open the throne room door in under 1 minute.

Once you activate the pedestal in front of the stairs, you will have one minute to solve the puzzle to open the throne room door. The puzzle is fairly easy; there are three pieces to move with the  , either clockwise or anti-clockwise. Press to swap pieces. To align the pieces and unlock the door, move the first piece anti-clockwise twice, then switch to the second piece. Turn that anti-clockwise once, and then the third and final piece anti-clockwise twice to solve the puzzle and complete this final optional objective.

Mission 8: Inevitable Confrontation

There are no optional objectives in this Mission.

SIDE-MISSIONS 

3 Attack Convoy

When you are running round the map you will get a notification informing you that an enemy convoy is nearby, shown by a small red rectangle on the map. Run over to it and there will be 10 Bluecoats guarding the two cages – three each marching in front and behind and 4 in the middle between the cages. The best tactic in this Episode is to run into each group and activate Bear Might. This will wipe out most of the guards very quickly and means you won’t have to fight a large group at once. Just pick the remaining guards off if there are any survivors. Once they are all defeated, free the prisoners from the two cages by going up to each one and pressing  .

See the map below for a guaranteed spawn point of this mission.

3 Defend Civilian

The Defend Civilian missions involve you defending three citizens from a group of Bluecoats. To defeat them, either start from a vantage point and Eagle Assassinate a couple of guards below you or equip your Wolf Cloak ability and stab as many guards as you can before your health depletes. Summoning your Wolf Pack will also help you to thin the guards out quickly. Do not use Bear Might as this will kill the civilians too, thus failing the mission. Once all the guards are dead, you will have completed the mission.

See the map below for a guaranteed spawn point of this mission.

6 Help The Hungry

To “feed” the citizen you will need to have Raw Meat in your inventory. These can be obtained either by looting chests, pickpocketing from the people around New York, or ones carried over from the previous Episodes.

When you are notified of a starving citizen nearby, locate him on your Map and then approach him and press  . One “Raw Meat” will be taken from your inventory and this mission will be complete.

See the map below for a guaranteed spawn point of this mission.

3 Rescue Civilian

When running around New York, you will be informed that Bluecoats are about to execute a civilian. Get there as quickly as you can and take out the guards surrounding the citizen. There are only 2 that need to be killed for the mission to be completed, so this is really easy. The quickest way to complete it is to Double-Eagle Assassinate the two Bluecoats from above.

3 Lucid Memory Artefacts

There are three “Lucid Memory Artefacts” to find around New York. When you get within their general vicinity, the symbol for the artefact will appear on your Map. When you find the artefact, interact with it by pressing  . You will be shown a holographic image which indicates that fragment has been found. The locations for all three are as follows:

1. This will be easiest to get during Mission 6: “The Signal”, as it is in the same camp where you have to use Bear Might to bring down the tower. You will see the symbol on your map appear nearby, so go there and between some tents on a wooden table will be a part of some Assassin’s armour. Interact with it to find this artefact.

2. In the north-eastern area of the map, there will be a white church. Climb to the top of its steeple and you will find an object that looks like a ring or a bracelet on top of a crate.

3. North-west of Washington’s pyramid will be a few blocks of burnt-out houses. In the middle of these is a gallows with some rope nooses hanging down. Climb to the top of the gallows to find this final artefact.

When all three are collected, a symbol on your map will appear in the east of New York, out to sea on the Aquila. This is the location for a video which sheds some light on the fragments. However, it is not required to watch this video for the trophy.

Once the cutscene on top of the pyramid finishes, the boss battle will commence. Defeating Washington via conventional purposes won’t work, so you will need to use your Animal Powers here. Washington will stand in the middle of the area with golden spheres moving slowly around him. If you approach him normally, he will knock you back with his scepter. Therefore, equip your Wolf Cloak with  to become invisible, and dodge the spheres whilst moving towards him. If a sphere touches you, you will lose your invisibility and Washington will knock you back. If you dodge them and reach him, press  to attack him and deal damage. Repeat this process another couple of times, dodging the increasing number of spheres, until you come to a phase where the spheres move much quicker around the circle in groups of two and three. Washington will also intermittently perform a ground attack at this point, which sends out a shockwave to knock you back. This means you can’t approach with your Wolf Cloak, so use Eagle Assassination (hold  and aim towards him with the  with the Eagle power equipped) on him when his protective barrier disappears and the spheres aren’t in your way. You will knock him to the ground and attack him during a small scene.

Once he knocks you back, you must repeat the above process again. Eventually, a small scene with some dialogue will play. You are then told to use your Bear Might power on the corners of the stained glass floor. Once you have used Bear Might on three corners, a cutscene will initiate, during which this trophy will pop.
