Rewards

£: 1100

XP: 850

Location: Prince Albert Restaurant, Westminster

Follow the blue “C” icon to meet John Hammon (1) on a street corner across from Big Ben in Westminster. He needs your help to win the love of his hopeful future wife, Bella. He wants you to “kidnap” her so he can play the hero and come to her rescue.

Objective: Reach Lambeth

Talk to John Hammon and then enter the nearby carriage in the street. Wait for John to hop into the passenger’s seat before you leave.

Follow the route marked on the road east across the bridge and into Lambeth. Along the way, John explains his artful plan. Stop in the destination maker (2).

Allow John to exit the carriage. He tells you to play your part well and that Bella is at Waterloo Station.

Objective: Locate Bella

Leave John behind and follow the route marked on the road to Waterloo Station (3). Enter the station through the nearest entry point. Activate Eagle Vision to find Bella.

Objective: Kidnap Bella

Per the plan, you now have to play the bad guy and kidnap Bella. Sneak up behind the cop and silently execute him if he stands between you, Bella, and the stairs.

Sneak up behind Bella and kidnap her.

Objective: Deliver Bella to John

While there are a couple of ways to exit the station, we recommend that you lead Bella down the stairs heading south and then turn right into the central station. Turn right again and head for the large stairs (4) that lead to the street tunnel.

Walk slowly down the stairs to the street tunnel and activate Eagle Vision so you can easily spot the patrolling policemen.

Be careful! If Bella escapes you have to chase her and kidnap her again.

Quickly study their movements and make your move between the gaps, keeping your detection radius at a minimum. Turn left when you reach the tunnel street.

When you reach the intersection (5), turn left and you should spot a nearby, parked carriage. Shove Bella inside the carriage (6) and get in the driver’s seat. You could deliver her by foot, but this is faster.

Follow the street route marker back to John’s location (2).

Stop in the street as close to the alley marker (7) as you can and kidnap Bella from the carriage interior. Walk her through the alley to the destination marker.

Objective: Lose the fake fight

John jumps out of the shadows to fake fight you to save Bella from her kidnapper. Allow John to punch you repeatedly. After John throws a combo, punch him once and allow him to unleash another combo on you. If you fail to punch him you can fail the memory. It’s important that you make it look good! If you don’t fight enough or escape the combat, Bella notices it’s a fake fight and John’s plan fails. Continue until he knocks you out.

Objective: Speak to Dickens and Darwin

John explains who he is to Bella and they happily walk off together. You must now return to the Charles’s. Reenter the carriage and follow the route marker to the Black Bull bar (8). Talk to Darwin and Dickens in the back of the bar and tell them the good news.
