Part 17

Informer - Flag Collection (PC & Console):

This is probably the simplest one. You've got 3 minutes to grab between 16 and 20 flags. The good news? They're usually all lined up, making it easy to chain them together. The catch is, they're not always on the ground – expect to be jumping across rooftops and beams. Just keep sprinting in high profile; it'll help you leap automatically when needed. The only real hiccup could be accidentally alerting guards if you're too close to a patrol, but don't worry, getting spotted here won't fail the mission.

Informer - Escort (PC ONLY):

This is your babysitting duty. You need to escort a fellow assassin safely out of the city. They've got crucial info, so keeping them alive is key. Expect enemy guards to show up and attack. When your informer starts to cower, it's your cue to draw your sword. They usually attack in pairs, and they'll target you first, not the informer. Your job is to guard them all the way to the city gates. The number of guard sets you face depends on your current memory level, with later stages throwing more at you. Be aware that any guards on patrol nearby will also join the fight, so you might end up dealing with more than just the initial groups.

Informer - Rooftop Race (PC ONLY):

Think of this as a parkour race. You need to get from point A to point B, where another informer is waiting. There's a time limit, usually around 90 seconds, to cross the rooftops. As you progress through the game, the distance increases, meaning fewer mistakes are allowed. The main risk here is accidentally running into a guarded area and triggering a chase. However, you can often use rooftop gardens to break line of sight and hide. Just lock onto the final informer to complete the race.

Informer - Archer Assassination (PC ONLY):

This one's a bit different. Your goal is to take out specific archers on rooftops to help another assassin complete their objective or escape. There's no time limit, but you absolutely cannot be seen. Getting close is too risky since you'll be alone on the rooftops. This is where your throwing knives come in handy. Find spots where the rooftops offer cover from the archers' line of sight, get close enough, and take them out with a knife. A crucial point: make sure the archer's body doesn't fall where people on the ground can see it, or you'll blow your cover. When heading to the rooftops, use the ladders – climbing guards will just draw unnecessary attention.

Informer - Merchant Destruction (PC ONLY):

This is the last of the PC-exclusive informer missions. You need to stop corrupt merchants by destroying their stands within a 3-minute time limit. It starts easy but gets tougher. To destroy a stand, you have to push either a civilian or a guard into it. Pushing a civilian will cost you some sync points because it goes against the assassin's code. Guards are a better option, but you need to do it without raising suspicion. Initially, you can find a clear moment to push someone. Later, the targets might be more mobile, requiring you to wait for the perfect opportunity. Patience is key, but you still need to be efficient to get the job done within the time limit.
