Renovate the Ile de la Cité Café

Walkthrough: Your task in this mission is to eliminate thug captains, with each one situated on four bridges that surround the Café.

• The captain on the bridge to the south is very easy to reach if you have the Disguise skill. Morph into a civilian as you near Extremists, then casually walk into the house where the thug is hiding and stab him from behind. If you don’t have that skill, snipe the few Extremists on the bridge to secure your approach.

• For the bridge to the west (south portion), use Eagle Vision while concealed in the crowd to identify the captain. When his patrol takes him close to you, wait until he faces away, then snipe him with a Phantom Blade headshot, or stab him from behind after double assassinating the two Extremists on the way.

• The captain on the bridge to the west (north portion) is perhaps the simplest to eliminate as long as you arrive from the south (which is the most likely scenario). Walk on the right-hand side of the bridge and both the captain and his two bodyguards will face away from you. Snipe your target with a headshot, or stab him in the back.

• The final captain on the bridge to the northeast walks a short patrol towards the northern end of the bridge. If you climb on the rooftop of the bridge’s only building, you can dive into a hay cart close to his route. Watch him as he passes by your position, walking towards the north, then follow him and stab him from behind for a quiet and painless resolution.

Renovate the Ile de la Cité Café

Walkthrough: The letter you are looking for is carried by a man who stands at the northernmost corner of the Restricted Area. Approach from the rooftop immediately to the north of his position. Wait until the nearby Brute moves away before you air assassinate your target and loot the letter from his body. You can then use the lift to escape the area almost instantly ().

Renovate the Ventre de Paris Café

Walkthrough: Follow the waypoint to the east to reach a Restricted Area where you have to kill six hoarders ().

& : Lockpick the door in the street (outside the Restricted Area) and you can casually stab or snipe both of these hoarders from behind. Use Eagle Vision to ensure that no Extremist is looking your way during the process.

: Blend in the crowd directly south of this hoarder. From here, you can snipe him, or even rush to him and assassinate him before he has the time to react. If you are spotted, an even larger crowd a few steps to the west will enable you to hide easily.

: Again, position Arno in the crowd to the south of this hoarder and snipe him with the Phantom Blades while his allies are looking away.

& : Enter the house where the hoarder is stationed from the upper-floor balcony. Walk to the stairs leading down to the ground floor and snipe him from the top of the stairs.

Renovate the Ventre de Paris Café

Walkthrough: This mission requires you to kill four of Foullon’s lieutenants, who are hidden in an equivalent number of investigation zones to the east ().

: This target is a rooftop sentry. Climb on the rooftop from the building’s east face, then approach the man from behind and eliminate him as you see fit.

: This lieutenant is found on the uppermost floor of the building. If you have Arno at the position marked with a cross, you can snipe him through the window from the other side of the street. Otherwise, enter through the same window while he faces away from you and stab him.

: This lieutenant is located on a rooftop. Approach him from the street directly below his position. After ensuring that he is looking away with Eagle Vision, take him down with a Phantom Blade headshot. Avoid climbing all the way to the roof yourself, as a Brute patrols nearby and could easily spot you.

: Enter this building from the balcony on the floor just above street level. After ensuring that your target isn’t in the room yet, get inside the hiding spot or Blend among the civilians in front of it. Wait for a moment and your target will come to you for a smooth assassination.

Renovate the Ventre de Paris Café

Walkthrough: Head to the waypoints near the Cour des Miracles, where you have to free four farmers ().

: Climb the building and enter via a window on the floor above street level. There are two Extremists looking in the direction of the farmer, and therefore facing away from you. Dispatch them with Phantom Blades as they can be quite twitchy.

: Enter this building via the window on the top floor. From the top of the stairs, snipe the Extremist at the bottom then free the farmer.

: Infiltrate the Restricted Area via the back alley to the west, through a gap in a wooden fence. Eliminate the Brute with his back turned to you, then stop by the hay cart. Identify the two Extremists in the courtyard, and snipe them while they’re facing away (or lure them to the hay cart with the Last Known Position feature). Eliminate any Extremists who come to investigate, then, after ensuring that no one is watching, free the farmer.

: From the farmer at , enter the nearby building from a window above ground level, and free the final farmer. The only Extremist in this house is no threat as he permanently looks away.

Renovate the Quartier Latin Café

Walkthrough: Go speak to Champollion at the waypoint to the southwest. He asks you to steal three duplicates from three Extremists, each in a Restricted Area ().

: Climb on the building’s rooftop, and eliminate the two Watchers. From the balustrade, you have a clear shot on the first target. Wait until he reaches the westernmost point of his patrol to take him down. You can now drop down at ground level and, in Stealth Mode, loot his body.

: Remaining in Stealth Mode at all times, walk to the south along the fence that surrounds the gardens, staying away from the two sentries guarding an entrance. When you reach two giant wooden kegs, approach the Brute next to them and stab him. You can now climb on top of the arbor and air assassinate your target when no one is looking. Loot him, then retrace your steps until you’re back next to the two sentries guarding an entrance. Take a right, and go straight until you reach the final Restricted Area.

: Take cover behind a potted plant and wait for an Extremist to appear within range, at the northern end of the Restricted Area. Dispatch him with a Phantom Blade headshot, and any other Extremist in the vicinity will be drawn to the body, including your final target when his patrol takes him here. Snipe all of them. Once the coast is clear, loot the duplicate and leave the area by running to the east.

Renovate the Quartier Latin Café

Walkthrough: In this mission, you have to kill three conspirators situated in different locations. However, two of them start moving when you approach their position and converge towards the third one. They all meet up in a tavern inside a Restricted Area. This offers you a convenient way to dispatch them all at once: hit the Defender who stands guard outside the tavern with a Berserk Blade. He will attack the other Extremists and draw them out to the street (). Try to hit at least another Defender (or any advanced archetype) with a second Berserk Blade to add to the confusion. You can then snipe the conspirators one by one. Leave the highlighted area to complete the contract.

Renovate the Quartier Latin Café

Walkthrough: Your target, Roux’s lieutenant, awaits in a heavily guarded Restricted Area to the east. Though there are many possible infiltration routes, the network of Watchers with high detection abilities make rooftop approaches impractical. You should instead opt to drop down the sewer access in the backyard area, to emerge in the main courtyard where your target is found. Blend in with the crowd and move in front of the lieutenant, right by the main entrance (). From your concealed position, and after ensuring that there are no Extremists nearby, snipe him with a Phantom Blade headshot. Now drop a Smoke Bomb and run through the entrance to make your escape.

Renovate the Marais Café

Walkthrough: To find the smuggler leader, head to the waypoint to the south. For a very smooth kill, enter the Hôtel de Sens via the passage to the southwest of the Restricted Area. Stop midway through the passage and aim towards the base of the statue. The smuggler will soon enter your line of sight, ripe for a Phantom Blade headshot (). Turn around and leave the area to complete the mission.

Renovate the Marais Café

Walkthrough: The Duc de Barrois, your target, is hidden in an investigation zone to the south. There are multiple Extremists in the zone, but you can actually eliminate this target without encountering a single one. Enter the mansion via the small alley to the southwest of the Restricted Area. An open (unguarded) door gives you immediate access to the mansion’s stairway. Identify your target as he climbs up to the upper floor, then hide below the stairs. You can then intercept the Duc when he comes back down and assassinate him away from prying eyes (). Retrace your steps to escape the area.

Renovate the Marais Café

Walkthrough: This mission requires you to kill a thug captain to the north of your starting position. He stands in the middle of a Restricted Area, under an arbor. Approach the zone from its southwest corner, looking out for a Seeker who has a patrol route that passes here (). If he’s away, move under the arch and align a headshot on the thug captain with the Phantom Blades, then backtrack and leave the area.

Renovate the Bièvre Café

Walkthrough: The beginning of this quest has you speak to various contacts that are easy to find in investigation zones, until you reach a woman who asks you to follow her. She leads you to a Restricted Area that is very well guarded, with a network of Watchers standing on rooftops who make any stealth attempt almost impossible. For a very simple outcome, turn around the moment the woman stops, and follow the path shown on our screenshot (). Once you reach the small alleyway guardedby a Watcher, take cover against the corner of the wall, and align a Phantom Bladeheadshot on the sniper. Your main target, the head extortionist, will come to investigate the body when his patrol brings him to the alleyway. Snipe him as well to complete the mission without setting foot inside the Restricted Area.

Renovate the Bièvre Café

Walkthrough: The waypoint to the south leads to a house that you need to infiltrate. There are only two ways in: a door at street level where you must pick the lock, and an open window on the upper floor at the back of the house. Given the amount of Extremists on the street, the former option is hardly viable as the lockpicking process takes too long. Use your free running skills instead, and sneak through the window (). When you make it inside, Extremists arrive on the ground floor and come upstairs after a few seconds. Slip into the hiding place and stay there until they all leave. You can then examine the glowing letter on the table. You now have to interact with the clock in the fireplace on the ground floor. To do so, you first need to eliminate the Extremists standing guard. Lure them to the stairs with Last Known Position, then run around the stairway and snipe them from behind while they investigate. Once the coast is clear, interact with the clock, then go back upstairs and open the highlighted chest. Activate Eagle Vision and, the moment you notice an opening, run out of the house and escape the area.

Renovate the Bièvre Café

Walkthrough: After speaking to your contact to the west, you have to defend the funeral procession on its way to the Panthéon. The following general tips will help you survive in this combat-oriented mission:

• Try to always dispatch the snipers standing on balconies and rooftops in priority. Otherwise, these will fire at you while you fight in the streets, interrupting your actions and causing severe damage.

• Make the most of the allies that assist you throughout the mission. When enemies are busy fighting them, you can run towards the distracted hostiles from behind and assassinate them with the Hidden Blade, thus avoiding a lengthy battle.

• When you reach the Panthéon, climb on the rooftops to the right of the coffin. This will put you in an ideal position to face the final waves of enemies, enabling you to take down two Watchers and follow up with an air assassination.

• When you get the notification, leave the highlighted area to end the mission.

Renovate the Bièvre Café

Walkthrough: Your task in this mission is to assassinate Guzman in the Tuileries gardens. The heavy presence of guards means that stealth is more or less mandatory in this mission. Approach Guzman’s position via the smaller alleys, where enemy troop density is far lighter (). If you have the Disguise skill, you can put it to use to have an uneventful stroll. Your goal is to reach the crowds on either side of the statue, behind Guzman. Once you are suitably Blended, wait for a moment when the red-clad Extremists and the blue-clad guards jostle each other, drawing the attention of all soldiers – this is your cue to take down Guzman with a Phantom Blade headshot. You can now escape the area, with the urgency of your departure determined by whether or not your previous action was noticed.

Renovate the Louvre Café

Walkthrough: You have three targets to eliminate in this mission. Only a small portion of the building’s interior is a Restricted Area, so there are no limits on your movements and actions everywhere else as long as you do not commit anything reprehensible.

• The woman in the exterior area walks a clockwise patrol around the entire courtyard. Position Arno at the northern edge of the courtyard, Blended in the group of civilians. When the spy walks past you, ensure that no guard is looking your way and stab her quietly before entering the building.

• The second spy is a male who patrols between the entrance hall and the floor above. Wait for him in the hall, then follow him as he walks up the stairs. Assassinate him from behind just as you reach the upper floor, in a position where no one will witness the deed.

• You can now walk to the floor above, killing the single guard on the way. This is a Restricted Area so enemies will now attack you on sight. Once on the top floor, ignore the locked door and quietly walk to the guard whose back is turned to you, by the open door. Track the movements of the patrolling guard in front of him: when the patrolling guard moves away, assassinate the one by the open door. Now follow the patrolling guard and take cover by the next door (). You can then cover kill him when he returns, before taking down the spy to the right.

Renovate the Louvre Café

Walkthrough: Gilbert, your target for this contract, awaits in an investigation zone to the northwest, patrolling on a very crowded plaza. Though it might seem tempting to use the Phantom Blades, it will often alert the numerous Extremists in the area. Instead, remain Blended at all times, staying close to your target. When he reaches a position where there are no Extremists in the immediate vicinity, quietly stab him with the Hidden Blade. You can then calmly walk away and leave the highlighted area.

Renovate the Invalides Café

Walkthrough: Your four Templar targets are hidden in and around a Restricted Area to the north (). The surrounding environs are policed by blue-clad guards who will only take exception to Arno if he is seen to perform actions that they might find disagreeable (they’re quite particular about murder, for example), or sets foot inside the Restricted Area.

: This Templar walks a long patrol in the gardens, outside the Restricted Area. Identify him with Eagle Vision, then follow him at close range. When an opportunity presents itself, with no guards in sight, quietly stab him with the Hidden Blade.

: This is the only Templar who roams inside the Restricted Area. With all rooftops guarded by multiple Watchers, the best method to approach him is to lure away the soldiers at the front entrance with a Cherry Bomb. As they leave their posts to investigate, go through the front entrance, making sure that no guards inside can spot you. To be totally safe, you could also activate the Disguise skill beforehand (if you have unlocked it). Once in the courtyard, remain Blended among the crowd at all times and identify the Templar. The ideal moment to strike is when he walks along either lateral wall of the courtyard, away from prying eyes. Use the Hidden Blade to be discrete, then move away from the body. With any luck, the corpse will draw the attention of most guards in the courtyard, even those at the front entrance, giving you the perfect opportunity to leave the area.

: Walk along the fence, outside of the Restricted Area, using Eagle Vision to locate this Templar. Briefly climb on the fence if you struggle to identify him. You can then take him down with a Phantom Blade headshot fired through the fence. Try to do so with no guard in the perimeter or they will attack you. If they do, dive into the nearby Seine river to vanish.

: This final Templar walks in circles around the landmark’s main entrance, outside the Restricted Area. Follow him until you are far from any guard before you assassinate him, then leave the area.

Renovate the Invalides Café

Walkthrough: Head to the investigation zone to the southwest, where you have to steal a package from a man found in a Restricted Area. After a short while, he starts walking on a dirt path. Wait until he reaches a narrow section of the dirt path, surrounded by a stone wall and a wooden fence, to pickpocket the packet from him. You can then make the delivery yourself, which reveals an investigation zone in the nearby Restricted Area, and your target who walks a patrol route inside: Colonel L’Au. Immediately run a few steps further to the northeast and you can spot the man on the other side of the fence (). Take him down with a Phantom Blade headshot through the fence for a quick conclusion. If you let the Colonel move away, you will have to wait for him to walk his entire patrol loop before he comes back, which takes a minute or two. Escape the area (and your pursuers) to end the mission.

Renovate the Invalides Café

Walkthrough: Your goal in this quest is to eliminate 13 targets packed in a relatively small Restricted Area, which makes it one of the most difficult combat-oriented missions in the entire game. Pack up as many consumables as you can, particularly Poison Gas Bombs, Berserk Blades and Phantom Blades. In addition, make sure you select Assassin Cache as your active skill.

As a direct confrontation is not a realistic option here, you have to be cunning. Our preferred strategy is to approach the vineyard from the northwest. From the corner of the house, snipe the two Extremists in the vegetable garden with Phantom Blade headshots. Ensure that the nearby Watcher in the vineyard isn’t looking your way, then climb on top of the chest, against the wall (). This gives you a line of sight above the wall that surrounds the vineyard. Some of your targets might get a glimpse of Arno too, but this is not a problem as long as you are swift: from the moment you stand on the chest, your goal is to immediately hit a Defender in the vineyard with a single Berserk Blade. He will draw the attention of most Extremists around him, with his stamina enabling him to survive for a reasonably long time. With no one looking your way, you can now climb on top of the wall that surrounds the vineyard and throw a Poison Gas Bomb on the group of Extremists. Try to hit at least another strong archetype (preferably a Defender, otherwise a Brute) with a Berserk Blade and poison them all again. You can then switch to the Phantom Blades, and snipe as many targets as you can – pressing regularly to top up your ammo. Once your killing spree is over, cautiously move further into the vineyard and eliminate any survivors with the Phantom Blades.

Note that there’s also a shop on the main street nearby to refill your ammo. If things go awry, consider retreating to that same main street, where you may encounter a few potential allies and blue-clad guards. These will attack any Extremists pursuing you, increasing your chances of survival.
