Sequence 9

Sequence 9

Welcome, Assassin, to Sequence 9! This section will guide you through the intricate memories of Arno Dorian as he delves deeper into the mysteries surrounding the Templars and the Revolution. Prepare for challenging stealth sections, intense combat, and crucial investigations. We'll cover everything you need to succeed, from optimal routes to hidden collectibles.

Memory 01 - The King's Correspondence

This memory focuses on infiltrating a heavily guarded area to retrieve sensitive documents. Stealth is paramount here, as direct confrontation can quickly overwhelm you.

• Objective: Infiltrate the Palace Courtyard.
  • Approach the palace from the western side. use the dense foliage and market stalls for cover.
  • Look for an open window on the second floor of the building adjacent to the main gate. A well-timed climb and jump will get you inside undetected.
  • Alternatively, you can distract the two guards patrolling the main entrance with a Cherry Bomb and then use a Smoke Bomb to slip past them.
• Objective: Locate and Steal the King's Correspondence.
  • Once inside, navigate the corridors carefully. There are several patrolling Brutes and Snipers.
  • Use your Eagle Vision frequently to mark enemy positions and patrol paths.
  • The correspondence is located in a locked chest in the King's private study on the third floor.
  • To reach the study, you'll need to pick a master-level lock. Ensure you have enough Lockpicks (at least 3-4 recommended).
  • Consider taking out the single guard stationed directly outside the study door with a Cover Kill or Air Assassination from the chandelier above.
• Objective: Escape the Palace Grounds.
  • After acquiring the correspondence, the palace will go on high alert.
  • Do not attempt to fight your way out. Instead, retrace your steps or find an alternative escape route.
  • A good option is to head to the rooftop and use the numerous ziplines and parkour opportunities to quickly exit the restricted area.
  • Aim for the synchronization point on the nearby church steeple for a quick and safe escape.

Memory 02 - Hoarders

In this memory, Arno must investigate a series of suspicious activities tied to a wealthy merchant, uncovering a Templar hoarding valuable resources. This mission involves a mix of investigation and stealth.

• Objective: Investigate the Merchant's Warehouse.
  • Head to the marked warehouse district in the Le Marais borough.
  • The primary entrance is heavily guarded. Look for a less obvious entry point, such as a broken window on the side of the building or a rooftop access point.
  • Before entering, use Eagle Vision to identify the three key investigation points within the warehouse.
• Objective: Gather Information on the Hoarded Goods.
  • Clue 1: Manifest Ledger. This is located on a desk in the main office area on the ground floor. There are two guards conversing nearby; use a Berserk Blade on one to create a distraction.
  • Clue 2: Crate Contents. Examine the large, unusually marked crates in the central storage area. You'll need to approach them stealthily as several guards patrol this section.
  • Clue 3: Secret Compartment. This is hidden behind a bookshelf in a smaller, private room upstairs. You'll need to interact with the bookshelf to reveal the compartment. Be wary of the patrolling Enforcer in this area.
• Objective: Confront the Merchant.
  • Once all clues are gathered, the merchant will be marked on your map. He is usually found in a private office on the top floor, guarded by two Brutes.
  • Consider using Phantom Blades to silently eliminate the guards before confronting the merchant.
  • The confrontation itself is a cutscene, so no combat is required here.
• Objective: Escape the Area.
  • After the confrontation, the warehouse will become a hostile zone.
  • Your best bet is to exit through the rooftop. There are several climbable surfaces and ropes that lead directly to the outside.
  • Avoid engaging the numerous guards who will now be actively searching for you.

Memory 03 - The Executioner

This memory culminates in the assassination of a key Templar figure responsible for many injustices. This is a classic assassination mission with multiple opportunities and approaches.

• Objective: Identify the Executioner.
  • You'll begin in a crowded square where a public execution is about to take place.
  • Use Eagle Vision to scan the crowd and the elevated platform. The target, Monsieur Le Pelley, will be highlighted.
  • Pay attention to the optional objective: "Blend with the Crowd" to remain undetected during the initial phase.
• Objective: Assassinate Monsieur Le Pelley.
  • Opportunity 1: Poison the Drink. There's a serving tray with drinks near Le Pelley's platform. You can discreetly poison one of the drinks with a Poison Bomb or Poison Blade if you have the skill. This requires a stealthy approach to the serving area, often involving distracting a guard.
  • Opportunity 2: Sniper Perch. A building overlooking the execution platform offers a perfect vantage point for a Headshot with a rifle. You'll need to climb to the rooftop and eliminate any snipers already present.
  • Opportunity 3: Direct Approach. For a more aggressive approach, you can create a diversion (e.g., with a Cherry Bomb or by assassinating a visible guard) and then use a Smoke Bomb to close the distance for a quick Hidden Blade assassination. Be prepared for immediate combat if you choose this route.
  • Optional Objective: "Perform a Stealth Kill." This can be achieved with any of the stealth-focused opportunities.
• Objective: Escape the Area.
  • After the assassination, the area will erupt into chaos.
  • Prioritize escaping the red restricted zone. Use your parkour skills to quickly ascend buildings and disappear into the Parisian rooftops.
  • Consider using Smoke Bombs to disengage from any pursuing guards.
  • The nearby river offers a good escape route if you can reach it without being detected.
