Follow our step-by-step guide to complete the '05 Dead Letters' memory in Assassin's Creed Syndicate, including investigation, carriage pursuit, and defense.

Alright, let's dive into Memory 05: 05 Dead Letters. This one kicks off after you chat with Dickens, and you'll find yourself in a small, square area with a carriage crash right in the middle. Your first job is to play detective and sniff out some clues scattered around this zone.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Investigate the Crash Site: You'll need to find four clues. Look for the wrecked carriage and a mattress near the eastern corner. Then, head to the western side for a pile of letters against the wall, and finally, a single letter smack-dab in the middle of the area. Just get close to all the shiny golden objects – you don't actually need to find every single one.
  2. 2
    Spot the Target: Once you've poked around enough clues, the game will trigger a cutscene. You'll see a Thug making a quick getaway in a carriage nearby.
  3. 3
    Start the Pursuit: As soon as you regain control, bolt out of the search area and hop into the nearest carriage you can find. You need to chase down that Thug and hijack his ride.
  4. 4
    Chase Him Down: This carriage chase is a bit more involved than previous ones. The target moves pretty fast, so try not to crash too much. Stick to the GPS on your screen and use your boost whenever it's safe to close the distance.
  5. 5
    Hijack the Carriage: Once you're close enough, use your Rope Launcher (LB/L1) to get onto the roof of your own carriage. From there, it's a running jump to the target's carriage. Get to the driver and hijack it.
  6. 6
    Defend Your Prize: After you've taken control of the carriage, you'll get a new objective marker. Follow the GPS to get there as quickly as possible.
  7. 7
    Deal with Hostiles: Things aren't going to be that easy! You'll be ambushed by three enemy carriages. When an enemy's aura turns yellow, use your gun for quick shots. Alternatively, you can shoot their horses to flip their carriages, then use your shunting ability to knock them off the road. Keep at it until all three are out of the picture.
  8. 8
    Reach the Destination: With the hostiles dealt with, continue following the GPS to your objective marker.
  9. 9
    Complete the Memory: When you arrive, get out of the driver's seat and hop into the carriage as prompted to finish this memory.
Tips
  • Don't worry about finding every single clue in the initial search area; the game will trigger the next part once you've investigated enough.
  • Use the boost function in your carriage strategically during the pursuit to gain ground quickly.
  • When defending against hostile carriages, prioritize shooting the horses if you're struggling to hit the drivers directly.
