Sequence 10
Welcome, Assassin, to Sequence 10 of Assassin's Creed III. This pivotal sequence will test your stealth, combat, and strategic thinking as you navigate the escalating conflict of the American Revolution. Pay close attention to mission objectives and use your environment to achieve full synchronization.
Mission 1: The Battle of Monmouth
This mission plunges you directly into the chaos of a major battlefield. Full synchronization requires you to remain undetected during specific phases and to avoid taking damage from cannon fire.
Objectives:
- Infiltrate the British Lines: Your primary goal is to reach the British artillery positions without being detected.
- Destroy the Cannons (0/3): Disable the British cannons to turn the tide of battle.
- Assassinate the British Officer: Eliminate the commanding officer to complete the mission.
Walkthrough:
- Initial Approach: Begin by moving through the tall grass and dense foliage on the flanks of the battlefield. Use your Eagle Vision to identify enemy patrol routes.
- Stealth Infiltration:
- Avoid direct confrontation. use bushes and haystacks for cover.
- Perform silent assassinations on isolated guards using your
Hidden Blade . - Look for opportunities to use environmental kills, such as dropping barrels or triggering falling debris, to clear paths without raising alarms.
- Synchronization Objective: Remain undetected until you reach the first cannon. If you are spotted, restart from the last checkpoint to ensure full synchronization.
- Destroying the Cannons:
- There are three cannons to destroy. Each is typically guarded by a small group of soldiers.
- Approach each cannon from behind cover. Use
Smoke Bombs to disorient guards and allow for quick sabotage. - Interact with the cannon to plant explosives. Quickly retreat to a safe distance before it detonates.
- Synchronization Objective: Avoid taking damage from cannon fire. This means staying clear of the blast radius when they are active and using cover effectively when they are firing at your allies.
- Assassinating the British Officer:
- After destroying the cannons, the British Officer will be highlighted on your map. He is usually located near the center of the remaining British forces.
- The officer is often accompanied by a bodyguard or two. Consider using a
Poison Dart from a distance to eliminate a bodyguard silently, or use aBerserk Dart to cause a distraction. - Perform a high-profile assassination if you can get close enough, or a stealth kill from cover.
- Once the officer is down, the mission concludes.
Collectible Opportunities:
- Keep an eye out for
Almanac Pages andFeathers scattered around the periphery of the battlefield. While not directly tied to mission objectives, collecting them contributes to overall game completion. - Several
Chests containing currency or crafting materials can be found in abandoned camps or supply depots near the mission area.
Mission 2: The Tea Party
This mission requires you to infiltrate a British convoy and disrupt their operations. Stealth and precision are key to achieving full synchronization.
Objectives:
- Infiltrate the Convoy: Board the designated British ship without being detected.
- Sabotage the Cargo (0/5): Destroy five crates of British tea.
- Escape the Area: Leave the restricted zone without raising an alarm.
Walkthrough:
- Approach the Docks:
- Start by approaching the docks from the rooftops or through the less-guarded alleyways.
- Use your
Eagle Vision to mark guards and identify their patrol patterns. - Synchronization Objective: Do not kill any guards before boarding the ship. use stealth takedowns (non-lethal) or simply avoid them.
- Boarding the Ship:
- Look for opportunities to board the target ship from the water, using small boats or by swimming.
- Alternatively, use rope darts to swing onto the ship from a nearby mast or building.
- Once on board, immediately seek cover.
- Sabotaging the Cargo:
- The five crates of tea are typically located in the ship's hold or on the main deck.
- Navigate the ship using cover and silent assassinations on isolated guards.
- Interact with each crate to sabotage it. This usually involves a quick interaction prompt.
- Synchronization Objective: Sabotage all five crates without being detected. If you are spotted, guards will become alerted, making the objective much harder to complete stealthily.
- Escaping the Area:
- After sabotaging the last crate, your objective will update to escape the restricted zone.
- The quickest and safest way is often to dive into the water and swim away from the docks, using the cover of other ships or structures.
- Alternatively, you can climb back onto the rooftops and use them to exit the area.
- Synchronization Objective: Escape the area without raising an alarm. If an alarm is raised, you will need to either hide until the alert level drops or restart.
