Learn how to defeat Edith Swinebourne and her Blighters in the Gang War: The Thames mission in Assassin's Creed Syndicate. Get tips for this challenging borough liberation.

Alright, let's get this Gang War on the Thames wrapped up! This one's a bit different from the others, as it throws everything at you at once. You'll find the marker for this mission down by the river, south of the big rail bridge connecting the City of London to Southwark. Just remember, you can only start this once you've cleared out the other six associate activities in the area.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    As soon as you kick things off, your Rooks will clash with some Blighters. But here's the twist: the Gang Leader, Edith Swinebourne, jumps straight into the fight. Keep an eye out for that star icon above her head – that's your target.
  2. 2
    The mission requires you to take down 11 Blighters in total, plus Edith herself. Most of them are melee fighters, though some might pull out their pistols.
  3. 3
    Edith is no joke. She's a beefed-up melee enemy with a nasty Kukri. She can really lay into your Rooks.
  4. 4
    Here's the best part: since she joins the initial brawl, she'll likely be busy with your crew. If you can sneak up on her from the right angle while she's distracted, you can pull off a quick assassination and end the fight fast.
  5. 5
    If she spots you, though, you'll have to fight her head-on. Focus on using your guard breaks and counters to chip away at her health.
Tips
  • If you've already dealt with the Gang Leader during your borough conquest, you'll only have to worry about the regular Blighters. Lucky you!
  • The source text mentions there are no optional objectives for this memory. So, just focus on the main goal: clearing out the Blighters and Edith.
  • Money: 264£
  • XP: 250 XP
  • Gear: Kukris: Gold Blessing Kukri
