Sequence 6
Welcome, Assassin, to Sequence 6! This pivotal sequence sees Connor delving deeper into the conflict, requiring precision, stealth, and a keen understanding of his environment. Full Synchronization is crucial for unlocking key rewards and achieving true mastery. Follow this detailed guide to navigate every challenge.
Mission 1: The Tea Party
Connor's involvement in the Boston Tea Party is a defining moment. This mission emphasizes stealth and environmental interaction.
- Objective: Infiltrate the docks and destroy the tea crates.
- Full Synchronization Objective: Do not kill any Redcoats.
- Walkthrough:
- Approach the Docks: Begin by approaching the docks from the northern side. Utilize the dense crowds and market stalls for cover. Avoid open confrontations.
- Locate the Tea Ships: There are three ships laden with tea crates. Use your Eagle Vision to highlight the target crates.
- Stealth Boarding:
- For the first ship, climb aboard from the side using the ropes and crates. Stay on the upper deck to avoid patrols below.
- For the subsequent ships, you can often use the connecting planks or swim around to the less guarded sides.
- Destroying the Tea: Once on a ship, approach the highlighted tea crates. Interact with them to toss them into the harbor. Be mindful of patrolling guards; use corner cover or blend into groups of dockworkers if available.
- Evasion: After destroying all the tea, a short chase sequence will ensue. Focus on blending into crowds and using parkour to escape the alerted guards. The rooftops offer a good escape route towards the northern districts of Boston.
- Key Items/Locations: Boston Harbor, Tea Ships, various crates for cover.
- Strategy Tip: The "Do not kill any Redcoats" objective is paramount. Focus on non-lethal takedowns (fists) if absolutely necessary, but prioritize avoiding detection entirely. Use smoke bombs if you get into a tight spot to disorient guards and escape.
Mission 2: Hostile Negotiations
This mission involves a tense meeting and a subsequent chase. Your parkour skills will be put to the test.
- Objective: Follow the target and eavesdrop on their conversation, then pursue them.
- Full Synchronization Objective: Do not touch the ground during the chase.
- Walkthrough:
- Initial Tail: Start by following the marked target from a distance. Maintain cover using crowds and buildings. Stay on the rooftops as much as possible to get a good vantage point for eavesdropping.
- Eavesdropping: When the target stops to converse, find a nearby rooftop perch or blend spot that allows you to hear the conversation without being detected. Pay attention to the dialogue for plot progression.
- The Chase: Once the conversation concludes, the target will flee. Immediately initiate pursuit. This is where the "Do not touch the ground" objective comes into play.
- Rooftop Navigation: Stick to the rooftops religiously. Plan your jumps and climbs carefully. Look for clear paths across buildings, using clotheslines, chimneys, and other environmental elements to maintain momentum.
- Obstacles: Be aware of gaps between buildings, occasional guards on rooftops, and areas where the path might seem to end. Often, there's a hidden climbable surface or a well-placed beam to continue your aerial journey.
- Target Distance: Keep the target within your sight, but don't rush so much that you make mistakes and fall to the ground. A steady, fluid pace is key.
- Confrontation: The chase will conclude in a specific area, often a secluded alley or courtyard. Prepare for a brief fight or a final stealth takedown, depending on the mission's context.
- Key Items/Locations: Various Boston rooftops, specific chase routes.
- Strategy Tip: Practice your parkour in the open world before attempting this mission. Knowing the optimal routes and how to chain movements efficiently will make the "no ground" objective much easier. If you accidentally touch the ground, quickly restart from the last checkpoint to preserve your synchronization.
Mission 3: Uncivil Disobedience
This mission focuses on disrupting British operations and gathering intelligence.
- Objective: Sabotage British supplies and eliminate key personnel.
- Full Synchronization Objective: Perform 3 stealth assassinations from a hay cart.
- Walkthrough:
- Locate Supply Carts: Head towards the marked British supply depots. There will be several carts needing sabotage.
- Hay Cart Assassinations: This objective requires careful planning.
- Identify Patrol Routes: Observe the patrol patterns of the Redcoats near the hay carts.
- Positioning: Hide inside a hay cart that is near a patrol route. Wait for a guard to pass close enough for a stealth assassination.
- Execution: Perform the assassination. Immediately re-enter the hay cart or blend into nearby crowds to avoid detection. Repeat this three times.
- Sabotage Supplies: After achieving the stealth assassinations, proceed to sabotage the remaining supply carts. This usually involves interacting with them to set them alight or destroy their contents.
- Eliminate Officers (Optional but Recommended): While not always a full sync objective, eliminating any marked British officers will often simplify the mission and reduce the number of pursuing guards. Use stealth tactics like air assassinations or corner assassinations.
- Escape: Once all objectives are complete, escape the restricted area and lose any pursuers.
- Key Items/Locations: British supply depots, hay carts, various blend spots.
- Strategy Tip: For the hay cart assassinations, patience is key. Don't rush. If a guard isn't coming close enough, try to lure them by whistling (down on the D-pad/G key) from within the hay cart. This can draw them closer for an easy kill.
