Find all 420 Flags and 60 Templars in Assassin's Creed Brotherhood. Learn about the Short Blade and Throwing Knives.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Flags serve as a memory (save point) in Assassin's Creed Brotherhood; collecting a single flag saves your game.
  2. 2
    There are a total of 420 Flags to collect across various locations.
  3. 3
    Templars are similar to flags as collectibles but fewer in number, with 60 to defeat.
  4. 4
    Templars are standard Knights Templar, stronger than normal guards, and will attack Altaïr on sight.
  5. 5
    Templars are typically found alone on a small mat in front of a treasure chest, making them easier to eliminate before reinforcements arrive.
  6. 6
    Use the website www.assassinscreed-maps.com for the exact positions of both flags and Templars, marked by green dots on the map.

Weapon Information:

Short Blade:

  • The third weapon received, it is fast but weaker than the sword.
  • Ideal for attacking multiple opponents quickly and for combos, as its speed gives enemies less time to counter.
  • Functions like a sword, allowing deflection and counter-kills, but with less damage.
  • In large fights or enclosed areas, its speed can be a disadvantage if another guard attacks while you are engaged.

Throwing Knives:

  • A ranged attack with a limited number of uses.
  • Functions like the short blade's long-range attack; lock onto a target and throw.
  • Almost always ensures a one-hit kill, except against Templars, the hardest guards, and assassination targets.
  • You start with 5 knives, can have up to 10, and a maximum of 15.
  • You can obtain 5 knives per pickpocket from each thug. If a thug is dead, you can acquire one knife.
  • Returning to Masyaf replenishes your knives.
  • Best used against archers, killing them before they can fire.
  • Also effective for ranged targets in missions where you need to quickly eliminate threats.
  • Cannot penetrate walls.
  • Must lock onto the target for the knives to work.
Tips
  • Collecting even a single flag acts as a portable save point (checkpoint (an auto-save point you restart from on death)).
  • The website www.assassinscreed-maps.com is highly recommended for precise locations of all flags and Templars.
  • Templars are excellent practice targets for assassination skills and counter-kills.
  • The short blade's speed is advantageous in one-on-one or small group combat.
  • Throwing knives are most effective against distant, vulnerable targets like archers.
