Side Quests & Activities

Beyond the main story, revolutionary Paris offers a wealth of optional content to explore. Engaging in side quests and activities provides additional lore, unique challenges, and essential character progression. Below are the primary categories of optional content available in 18th-century France:

Paris Stories and Social Club Missions

These are narrative-driven side quests marked by parchment icons on your map. Paris Stories often involve historical figures like Napoleon or Maximilien Robespierre. Social Club missions focus on expanding the Brotherhood’s influence across various districts. Rewards: Significant amounts of Livres (currency) and occasionally unique gear pieces.

Murder Mysteries

Marked by a magnifying glass icon, these missions require you to investigate crime scenes, gather clues, and accuse the correct culprit. Rewards: Specific weapons and gear reflecting the nature of the case.

Nostradamus Enigmas

These scavenger hunts challenge you to solve cryptic riddles that lead to hidden symbols found on Parisian landmarks. Rewards: Fragments used to unlock the legendary Thomas de Carneillon Master Assassin Armor in the Café Théâtre basement.

Helix Rifts

Data anomalies that transport Arno to different time periods in Paris (such as the Belle Époque or WWII). These are time-trial missions focused on parkour and data collection. Rewards: Intel entries and "Bonus" currency based on your score; these are the primary way to earn extra Rift data for upgrades.

Café Théâtre Missions

A series of five specific missions dedicated to renovating your headquarters. Completing these increases the passive income generated by the Café. Rewards: Massive increases to your hourly Livre income and the "Master Assassin" outfit.

Crowd Events

Emergent activities that trigger as you explore, such as "Tackle the Thief" or "Kill the Messengers." These are short, repeatable tasks. Rewards: Progressive rewards including large sums of Livres and special gear unlocks based on the number of events completed.

Collectibles: Chests and Cockades

The map is populated with various collectibles. White chests contain Livres, Red (Locked) chests contain higher currency amounts, and Blue (Nomad) or Gold (Initiate) chests provide specialized gear. Cockades are floating ribbons found in high-altitude or hidden locations. Rewards: Livres, gear, and new color schemes (dyes) for Arno’s robes.

Co-op Missions and Heists

Though playable solo, these are designed for 2-4 players. Heists focus on stealth and reward you based on how little you are detected, while Co-op missions follow "Brotherhood" sub-plots. Rewards: Multiple pieces of high-tier gear and essential Sync Points used to purchase new Skills.
