Memory 01: 01 Spring Heeled Jack

Follow our Assassin's Creed Syndicate guide to complete Memory 01: Spring Heeled Jack. Find victims, track the target, and assassinate him.

Alright, let's dive into the first memory involving the mysterious Spring Heeled Jack. This one's all about tracking down a target, so keep your eyes peeled and your Eagle Vision ready!

Part 1: Locate the Victims

First things first, head out of the pub and make your way to the green objective marker. As you get close, it'll turn into a search zone. Your job here is to find a potential victim, who will be highlighted in gold.

You'll find the first victim tucked away in a small, walled storage area behind a building. It's on the eastern side of the search zone. Chat with her, and your next objective will update.

Now, you need to do this all over again. Head to the next search area. This time, the victim is in an alleyway, right in the middle of the zone. Be careful, though – they're in a bit of trouble, surrounded by smoke and being attacked. You'll need to fight off the attacker before they can harm the victim.

Heads up: The attacker will throw a smoke bomb, temporarily stunning you, and then make their escape.

Part 2: Locate the Target

Once you regain control, follow the alleyway where the attacker fled. You'll find some stairs at the end – climb them. At the top, you'll see a footprint on the ground. Investigate it.

Using your Eagle Vision, you'll see more footprints appear, showing you the way. Follow these through the streets until they lead you to a building wall. Here, you'll find some scratch marks. Looks like our guy can climb!

Climb up to the roof to pick up the trail again. Drop down to the ground on the other side and look for more scratch marks on a building to the southeast. You'll find another enemy up here – take him out, and then check the footprints nearby.

Finally, climb the building where these tracks lead. You'll find one last footprint on the roof. Investigate it to update your objectives.

Part 3: Assassinate the Target

We've got a location! The target is hiding inside a restricted area. This area covers a central building and the surrounding rooftops. Watch out for the guards, especially the snipers on the roofs to the left.

Optional Objective: Let's get this out of the way. Use your Rope Launcher to get up to the rooftop area with the snipers. You'll notice they're conveniently near some dynamite crates. You can either shoot the dynamite with your pistol to take them out, or go for direct assassinations and then use the dynamite to take out other cultists below. Either way, killing an enemy with dynamite completes this objective.

Now, to find the target. Use Eagle Vision inside the restricted area. You'll see those familiar footprints leading to a ladder on the eastern side of the central building. Clear out any enemies nearby, or sneak over and climb down the ladder.

At the bottom, you'll be in a storage area. There are three Cultists here. Take them down using stealth – your Throwing Knives and whistle/corner takedowns are your best friends here.

After you've dealt with the third enemy, the target will appear in a cloud of smoke. He's a bit of a tough nut to crack, with decent armor and a tendency to block your attacks. Keep an eye on his health bar and be ready to counter or use your guard break abilities. When you successfully counter or break his guard, follow up with a few melee attacks, but don't get too greedy!

Once you've defeated the target, the mission will be complete. Nice work!
