If you have a second screen (iOS or Android), the Companion App can become a great source of rewards. Stripped to its very essence, this metagame involves the following core steps:
1. In the main game, you collect Nomad Points (
) to earn currency to be used in the Companion App, you renovate Cafés/Social Clubs (
) to unlock new districts, and you synchronize Viewpoints (
) to unlock new slots for Assassin recruits.
2. From the Companion App’s interface, you solve Glyph Puzzles to earn in-app currency (
) and unlock new missions, then you recruit, manage and send Assassin recruits to fulfill these assignments. Completed missions reward you with
and unlock rewards in the main game.
3. Back in the main game, you can collect the rewards you have unlocked via the Companion App.
Glyph Puzzles
To solve Glyph Puzzles, all you have to do is to locate and activate glyphs that you reveal through Eagle Vision Pulses. For maximum efficiency, we suggest you proceed as follows:
■ Take note of the glyphs you are looking for and the amount of pulses you have at your disposal, as highlighted on the nearby screenshot (
).
■ Rotate the camera to have a large section of the building in view, then double tap the screen to trigger an Eagle Vision Pulse. The wave spreads slowly across the entire building, subtly revealing the glyphs as it passes over them (
). You only have a short amount of time to tap on each glyph revealed to collect it.
■ Once you have all the glyphs on a side of the building, rotate the camera to study another side, and repeat.
■ If you run out of pulses before you collect all glyphs, you can either purchase more to continue, or simply try again for free. The position of all glyphs remains unchanged, so you can memorize them to gather all glyphs in another attempt.
For every puzzle that you solve, you receive a
reward, and you unlock a new set of Nomad Missions.
Nomad Missions
Every time you unlock a set of Nomad Missions, tap on the corresponding icon to select one and reach the screen with the mission details (
). Simply tap the “+” signs to assign Assassins to the task. After choosing an initial candidate, the Success Rate bar will be filled to show the probability (as a percentage) that he or she will successfully complete it. If it is less than 100%, you can increase it by selecting additional Assassins. Any mission that you begin with an Odds of Success rating lower than 100% carries a chance, however slender, that the assignment will fail.
Choose your recruits according to the required stats: the stronger a candidate is in the attributes most relevant to the mission, the more significant his or her impact on the Odds of Success. Before your final confirmation, don’t forget to heal your recruits before each mission to increase their chances of survival.
When you send Assassins on missions, you will receive a notification once the contract has been completed.
■ If the expedition was a success, you obtain the mission rewards. If multiple recruits were sent to complete it, they each receive the full XP bonus.
■ In case of failure, there are no rewards. Assassins that you assigned to the mission are killed and permanently lost.
Nomad Mission Rewards
Completing individual assignments rewards you in the Companion App with both
and XP for the Assassins who took part in the mission.
In addition, completing all three missions in a set (in other words, in the same location) unlocks rewards that are available in the main game. These can take the form of Chests (
), Artifacts (
), or Companion Missions (
). Chests and Artifacts can be retrieved by Assassins in the Companion App, or directly by Arno in the main game. Companion Missions can only be completed by Arno himself. Each set of missions can be completed up to three times, and will give you a different reward in the main game each time, as revealed in the table to the right.
Nomad Brotherhood
Tap the Nomad Brotherhood icon at the bottom-left of the screen to manage your Assassins.
■ You can recruit new members by paying them with the Companion App’s currency (
). The higher their level and the better their stats, the more you will need to pay for their services. You initially have access to four slots only, but you can unlock more slots by synchronizing Viewpoints in the main game.
■ Your Assassins gain experience as they complete missions. Whenever they level up, a golden icon appears (
) and you can increase one of their stats by one unit. Having Assassins specialized in certain specific attributes will enable you to increase your Odds of Success when you attempt to complete missions that require particular proficiencies.
