Final Act

Location: Near Leicester Square, The Strand

The start location for this memory is on a high wooden platform (1) near the rooftop on the east side of the houses facing Leicester Square. This park stands between you and the Alhambra Music Hall where you find Roth.

Current Objective: Infiltrate the Alhambra Music Hall

In the opening cinematic you are shown the optional tasks involved in this memory. There’s a Stealth Opportunity with an Usher, an Assistance Opportunity with a Waitress, and a Unique Kill Opportunity with the assistance of a Machinist. We will use all of these opportunities in this walkthrough.

Begin by ziplining down to the park using the park entrance archway (2) as a Rope Launch lock-on.

Head east through the park and kill the two Blighter Soldiers with their backs to you near the exit (3).

Loot the mask from one of the dead Blighters. With your newfound mask you experience a certain degree of stealth without having to sneak around.

Optional Objective: Follow the usher to enter the music hall

Leave the park and find the female usher (4) to the right of the music hall’s entrance. With the mask on your face already, she begins to move to the front door as soon as you reach her. She appears with an assassin icon near her head and the icon is also reflected on the Mini-Map.

Walk in the middle of the crowd she leads through the front door to avoid the Blighter guards around the entrance (5).

Current Objective: Reach the music hall’s vantage point

Once inside the main lobby, you can see the vantage point icon up high through a wall behind the main counter. The vantage point is on a higher level. Turn left in the lobby and climb the stairs to the east to reach the second floor. The mask keeps you undercover as long as you don’t raise suspicion by doing things like killing in front of other Blighters or Rope Launching to different floors while in sight of the guards.

Alhambra Music Hall: Second Floor

At the top of the stairs on the second floor, continue down the hallway and enter the first open room on the right.

Inside you see a Blighter behind the bar and another at the second level balcony entrance ahead. Ignore these guys for now and just head up the next set of stairs on the right to reach the third level.

Alhambra Music Hall: Third Floor

At the top of the stairs on the third floor, again head through the first open door on the right. This puts you on the third floor balcony and you see the Vantage Point marker above the balcony rail.

Climb and perch on the top of the third floor balcony rail in the Vantage Point marker. All the while you can hear Roth announcing tonight’s show and by the time you reach the Vantage Point following our direct route, Roth mentions the show being dedicated to you. The optional tasks are reviewed again in a cinematic while you are perched in the vantage point.

Current Objective: Kill Roth’s 4 decoys

Challenge: Do not used ranged weapons to kill the decoys

The first thing you need to do is eliminate Roth’s four decoys, which glow yellow when using Eagle Vision. You can see three of them on the left side of the music hall and the fourth on the right side. The Challenge is not to use ranged weapons on the “decoys.” This does not mean you cannot use them on anyone else. Remain on your perch in the vantage point location until the first decoy (A) on the lowest floor walks from the left hallway, across the dining area below you and eventually stops near a table on the right side of the room.

Look down and throw a knife at the head of the Blighter (B) following the first decoy (A).

Decoy 1

From your perch in the Vantage Point, acquire a Rope Launch lock-on across the room that allows you to pass over the target to perform an Air Assassination on the decoy (A) on the first floor. That’s one decoy dead.

Waitress: Assistance Opportunity

Decoy 2

Get to the second floor balcony on the west side of the music hall and activate Eagle Vision. You spot a waitress (C) serving drinks to one of the decoys (D). Wait for the waitress to exit the bar area so you don’t have to walk past the Blighter at the stairs guarding the area. Walk up to her and speak to her. When you ask where the bathroom is, she turns and points and Jacob slips poison into her pitcher. Watch her as she returns to the table to serve the decoy (D) again. A few moments later the decoy and the Blighter next to him suffer the hallucinogenic effect and start killing other Blighters around. Leave the area while this commotion is happening, but make sure to watch.

Decoy 3

The waitress’s assistance works for two decoys on this floor but it takes some time. The waitress has to return to the bar, refill her pitcher and head to the second decoy on this floor. Watch as she poisons the decoy and his comrade drinking with him.

Machinist: Unique Kill Opportunity

Head to the northwest end of the second floor balcony to reach the backstage. Here you can see a Blighter (F) with his back to you just through the open doorway. Silently assassinate him.

Face north in the hallway with Eagle Vision engaged. You see two Blighter guards (G) & (H) standing between you and freeing the Machinist (I), which you can see standing in a room through the nearby wall. The Brute (H) walks off the raised area where the prisoner is being held. You can throw a knife at his head when he stands at the bottom of the stairs. Rush up and take the Blighter Soldier (G) standing guard at the locked door by surprise and eliminate him before he calls for help.

Unlock the door and free the Machinist inside (I). When you free the Machinist, he works on lowering the rafter platform. This is the key to your unique kill on Roth. You must wait for him to lower the platform above the stage before you can take advantage of the opportunity. However, if you have saved the last decoy until now, by the time you kill the last decoy, the rafter is ready.

Leave the Machinist’s room and walk back down the small set of stairs headed for the backstage area. You spot the final decoy around the set backdrops ahead (J). Walk up behind the target while disregarding all the remaining Blighters around and silently assassinate the last decoy. When the rafter is lowered a cinematic with Roth as the star attraction is triggered.

Current Objective: Assassinate Maxwell Roth

Unique Kill Opportunity: Cut the rope to assassinate Roth

Roth addresses the audience and shortly after commands his guards to light the stage and music hall on fire, trapping everyone inside his performance art of death. He then dares Jacob to escape.

This assassination is very easy if you have used the Machinist’s help. Simply run to the back stage below the rafter platform and Rope Launch to the top. In the rush of things it’s difficult to get a lock-on on the rafter so you may have to launch to the top of the background set pieces and jump from the top of those to the rafter platform.

You may have incurred a degree of notoriety doing this, depending on where you were when the cinematic started. Before you can cut the rope on the rafter you must become anonymous. So crouch down and this will happen not too long after you reach the rafter. Stand near the rope (assassinate icon) and cut it the moment you become anonymous. A sandbag weight with a rope tied around it drops. The other end of the rope wraps around Roth’s foot and sends him up in the air directly in front of the rafter. Jacob lifts him onto the rafter and puts a knife through his throat.

Current Objective: Escape the Alhambra

Challenge: Escape the Alhambra in less than 90 seconds

When you return from the Animus white room you are Challenged to reach the exit in less than 90 seconds. Drop off from the rafter platform and land on the stage below. Face the front of the stage and run through the dining tables where the audience used to be. Rope Launch to the second floor balcony.

Once on the second floor balcony, run through the open door and south through the bar area. You reach the lobby balcony at the front of the music hall. Hop off the balcony and run into the entry point to escape safely and complete the mission.
