Part 16

Vigilantes: Saving citizens being harassed by guards can spawn a vigilante mob. These vigilantes act as a temporary blockade against pursuing guards, allowing for escape. They also provide a mobile hiding area once blended into a crowd. The map represents these with a circle containing four triangles.

Eavesdrop: These are investigation missions to gather information on targets. The Eavesdrop mission is considered the easiest, as it's impossible to fail. Players simply need to sit on a nearby bench and use the 'head button' to listen to a secret conversation. The console version has 5 different missions, while the PC Director's Cut has 4 extra.

Interrogation: Slightly harder than Eavesdrop, this mission involves listening to someone spread lies about your assassination target. Typically, an old man will speak in a public area, often surrounded by listeners and two guards. After speaking, he walks to a dark alleyway where you must defeat him using fists. Be aware that thugs (non-guard enemies with throwing knives) may protect him and attack you; focus on the target. After he surrenders, he reveals information and dies. Avoid public places for this to prevent guards from spotting the body.

Pickpocket: This mission is slightly harder. You witness a secret conversation where a message is passed. After the conversation, you must follow the target, identified by a glow and a brown pouch. Maintain a good distance initially; getting too close will cause the target to refuse to move. The target will periodically look behind them. When they stop looking, they will walk forward, allowing you to pickpocket them. Success results in the target's frustration; failure alerts guards, requiring an escape.

Informer - Assassination: These missions require you to gain information from fellow assassins by completing tasks for them. The Assassination informer mission is the hardest console informer mission. It involves assassinating multiple targets before they reach the informer. This requires stealth, as guards must not be alerted. All targets must be killed using the hidden blade or throwing knives. Throwing knives are only permitted on rooftops where civilians are absent. On the ground, use the hidden blade. All assassinations must be low-profile; high-profile actions or drawing a weapon will cause instant failure.
