Follow this Assassin's Creed Syndicate guide to find and destroy four Cruel Caricature posters, chase a target through London, and sabotage a secret printing press.

Alright, let's dive into the 'Cruel Caricature' memory in Assassin's Creed Syndicate. This one's all about tracking down some propaganda and then taking out a printing operation. We'll break it down step-by-step.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Find and Destroy the Posters:
    1. When the memory starts, open your map. You'll see four objective markers. Head to the first one.
  2. 2
    Poster [1/4]: It's on a small booth right next to where you begin. Just walk up and interact to destroy it. Easy start!
  3. 3
    Poster [2/4]: This one is in the southern part of the train station. Look for a wall opposite a staircase at the western end. Be aware, there are Templars around this poster, so try to be stealthy or be ready for a fight.
  4. 4
    Leave the station and head towards the next closest objective marker, which is in a restricted area to the east.
  5. 5
    Poster [3/4]: You'll find this in the most eastern corner of the restricted area. Watch out for 3-4 Blighters on the ground and a Sniper on a rooftop. You can either sneak in via the rooftops or fight your way through. Once clear, interact with the poster.
  6. 6
    The final poster's marker is a couple hundred meters away in the City of London borough. As you get close, the marker will start moving because the poster is on a moving cart.
  7. 7
    Poster [4/4]: Grab a cart yourself and track down the moving objective. Use Eagle Vision when you're near to spot the correct cart. Ride up alongside it, hijack it, and then tear down the poster.
  • Pursue the Target:
    1. After destroying the last poster, you'll get a new marker in Southwark. Head there.
    2. You'll see a guy putting up a poster. He'll run when he spots you. Chase after him! You can't tackle him before he reaches a certain point, so just focus on keeping up.
    3. He'll lead you through a factory area and then disappear. Activate Eagle Vision to find a ladder leading down to the sewers. Climb down to continue.
  • Destroy the Printing Press:
    1. Navigate through the sewers. It's a straight path, so you won't get lost.
    2. You'll come across two Templars with their backs to you. Slide under the grating and perform a double assassination on them.
    3. Follow the tunnel around the next corner to find the secret printing press.
    4. There are two Templars guarding the printers. Take them out however you like.
    5. Optional Objective: Destroy all five printers at once. To do this, look around the room for explosive crates. Place one explosive crate next to each of the five printers. Then, position any extra crates in between the printers so that one explosion will trigger a chain reaction and blow them all up simultaneously.
    6. Once you're happy with the crate placement, retreat to the top of the room and shoot one of the explosive crates. If you don't get them all, you'll have to reload the last checkpoint and try again.
    7. With the printers destroyed, follow the objective marker to a sewer exit. Leave the sewer to complete the memory.
    • Tips
    • Use Eagle Vision frequently to spot enemies and objectives, especially when dealing with the moving cart and the sewers.
    • For the poster in the restricted area, using the rooftops can be a safer approach to avoid direct confrontation with the Blighters and the Sniper.
    • When setting up the explosives for the printers, take your time to ensure the chain reaction will work. It's better to be safe than sorry, as failing this optional objective means replaying that section.
