Sequence 2: Confession

Welcome, Assassin, to the heart of Sequence 2. This guide will navigate you through the pivotal moments of "Confession," ensuring you emerge from the shadows with your target eliminated and your skills honed. This memory is crucial for understanding Arno's burgeoning role in the Brotherhood.

Memory 01: Imprisoned

Your journey in Sequence 2 begins with Arno's incarceration in the Bastille. This memory focuses on stealth and observation, setting the stage for his eventual escape and introduction to the Assassin Brotherhood.

  • Objective: Survive the Bastille.
  • Initial Steps: You'll start in a cell. Observe your surroundings. A cutscene will introduce you to Pierre Bellec, a fellow prisoner and an Assassin.
  • Training with Bellec: Bellec will initiate a series of combat tutorials. Pay close attention to these as they introduce fundamental combat mechanics:
    • Parry: Press the Parry button (Circle/B) when an enemy's attack icon flashes yellow. This stuns them, opening them up for a counter-attack.
    • Dodge: Use the Dodge button (X/A) to evade heavy attacks indicated by a red attack icon.
    • Attack: Use the Attack button (Square/X) to strike. Combine with parries and dodges for effective combat.
    Successfully completing these drills is mandatory to progress.
  • Exploring the Prison: After the combat training, Bellec will guide you through the prison. This segment acts as a movement tutorial.
    • Free-Running Up: Hold R2/RT + X/A to climb walls and obstacles.
    • Free-Running Down: Hold R2/RT + Circle/B to descend quickly and safely.
    • Cover System: Utilize the Cover button (X/A) when near a wall or object to blend in and avoid detection by guards.
  • Gathering Information: Bellec will instruct you to observe the guards and learn their patrol patterns. This is a passive objective; simply follow Bellec and listen to his dialogue.
  • The Escape Plan: A pivotal moment occurs when Bellec reveals his plan to escape during a riot. Your role is to assist him.
  • Final Confrontation: During the riot, you will engage in a larger combat scenario alongside Bellec. Apply the combat skills you learned earlier. Focus on parrying and counter-attacking.

Memory 02: Rebirth

Following your dramatic escape from the Bastille, Arno finds himself on the streets of Paris, a free man but without purpose. This memory marks his official entry into the Assassin Brotherhood and introduces him to the Parisian Assassin headquarters.

  • Objective: Follow Bellec to the Brotherhood.
  • Navigating Paris: After the escape, Bellec will lead you through the chaotic streets of Paris. This is your first real taste of the open world.
    • Follow Bellec: Simply keep pace with Bellec. He will lead you through various districts, showcasing the city's verticality and crowds.
    • Optional: Collect Chests: Along the way, you might spot Chests (marked on your mini-map). While not mandatory for the mission, opening them provides Livres (currency) and sometimes Equipment. This is a good opportunity to get acquainted with the open world mechanics.
  • The Café Théâtre: Bellec will eventually lead you to the Café Théâtre, the Assassins' headquarters in Paris. This location will become your primary base of operations.
  • Meeting the Council: Inside the Café Théâtre, you will be introduced to the Assassin Council. This cutscene is significant as it formally inducts Arno into the Brotherhood and outlines his new path.
  • First Assassin Robes: After the council meeting, you will receive your first set of Assassin robes. This is a cosmetic and symbolic upgrade, signifying your new allegiance.
  • Training Grounds: The Café Théâtre also features a training area. Take some time to practice your combat and parkour skills here. While not mandatory, it's highly recommended to familiarize yourself with advanced techniques.
  • Synchronize Viewpoints: Your next objective will be to synchronize with a nearby Viewpoint. This iconic Assassin's Creed mechanic reveals portions of the map and unlocks fast travel points.
    • Locate the Viewpoint: It will be clearly marked on your map.
    • Climb to the Top: Use your free-running skills to ascend the tall structure.
    • Synchronize: Interact with the synchronization point at the very top.
  • End of Sequence 2: Successfully synchronizing the viewpoint concludes Sequence 2, preparing you for the challenges and mysteries that await in the heart of the French Revolution.
