A Struggle For Existence

Location: City of London

Instead of meeting Darwin to start this memory, you will be meeting and following Florence Nightingale (1) who is waiting for you on a City of London sidewalk.

Objective: Follow Nightingale

Follow Nightingale as she walks south along the sidewalk. Nightingale says the unspeakable has happened. Darwin has been arrested by a corrupt policeman and their last known position was at a funeral.

You go your separate ways at the next corner. Nightingale waits for you on a stoop of the corner building (2). The graveyard to the southwest is the area to locate the corrupt policeman.

Objective: Locate the corrupt policeman

Challenge: Kidnap the policeman without being detected

Leave Nightingale and to avoid most of the patrolling policemen inside and outside of the graveyard before you can reach the corrupt cop, follow the street heading south and turn right into the alley beside the graveyard. Stop just short of the graveyard’s southwest corner (3).

Objective: Kidnap the corrupt policeman

Challenge: Kidnap the policeman without being detected

You can spot the corrupt cop (A) patrolling westward toward you along a graveyard pathway (4). While he is in the distance, hop the graveyard fence and hide behind a nearby grave until he walks by. Quickly leave your hiding spot and hop up a small ledge to the sidewalk. Come up behind him and kidnap him.

Objective: Deliver the corrupt policeman

Challenge: Kidnap the policeman without being detected

Turn the corrupt policeman back the way he came and follow pathway to the northwest corner (5). To avoid the policemen (B) & (C) standing at the northwest corner, walk your victim between the gravestones and the short wall in this corner.

Continue to follow our route until you see two patrolling cops coming toward you on the same pathway. Go off-path and walk around the backside of two large stone columns (6). When you reenter the pathway you are at the north exit (7).

Wait for the patrolling street cops to walk past the exit before you enter the street. Once in the street, head east to where you left Nightingale. Deliver the cop to her (2).

Objective: Locate Darwin

Threaten the cop with a gun or throwing knife (aim at him) and he tells you a man paid him to bring Darwin to his secret base. The area is now marked on your map.

Knock the cop out and enter a carriage. Allow Nightingale to ride along. Follow the route marked on the street to the secret base (9).

Objective: Examine Darwin’s condition

When you reach the house to the northeast, activate Eagle Vision and look into the house to spot Darwin highlighted yellow with a few Templar guards around. He’s on the second floor. There’s an open second floor window and the front door is open as well.

Enter the home and defeat the Templars to get to Darwin who is lying on a bed on the second floor.

Objective: Defend Nightingale

Darwin is very weak and Templars are on their way in the house. You must defend Nightingale while she tends to his wounds. Cover beside the stairs and Cover Assassinate the first to arrive and then slay the second quickly.

Objective: Pick Up Darwin

Darwin has fallen out of the bed. Pick him up and carry him down the stairs.

Objective: Deliver Darwin to the cart

When you reach the first floor you see a Templar in the doorway. Place Darwin on the floor and defeat this Templar and any others that rush in or are outside the house before you pick up Darwin again.

When the coast is clear, pick up Darwin and carry him outside and place him in the carriage on the street. Nightingale will take him to safety.
