Sequence 02

Memory 01/“Imprisoned”

There are a few (highlighted) points of interactivity to explore in the cell after the Memory begins. To advance the story, approach the mattress on the floor and press /. Complete the fight tutorial against the prisoner, then activate Eagle Vision when prompted. After the narrative skips forward, get into position behind the wall as illustrated above. When the guards enter, approach one and hold / when directed to perform a silent, non-lethal takedown.

Follow Bellec until he attempts to unlock a door. When the two soldiers arrive, both Challenges for this Memory become active. To perform a Perfect Parry, press / at the point in a guard’s attack when his health bar flashes yellow. It is much easier to complete the Perfect Parry Challenge here after eliminating one guard. If required, tap to heal Arno. As long as you focus on parrying first and foremost, attacking only when it is safe to do so, you will soon get a feel for the rhythm that basic combat requires. The first assailants are followed by a second wave of three. This is a good time to work on Smoke Bomb evasions: select them with in advance, then tap / to throw the explosives and vanish.

Once the door is unlocked, sprint after Bellec; there are further opportunities to use Smoke Bombs here if you have yet to complete the Challenge. Follow him through the window, then free run and climb via the route shown on the screenshot.

Continue to run after Bellec until he kicks down a door. In the ensuing fight, charge at the marksmen at the far side to engage them before they open fire. If you still have a Smoke Bomb to hand, it could be useful here. Whenever you see a red target icon appear (), get ready to dodge just before the soldier opens fire to evade the bullet.

Once all soldiers have fallen, follow Bellec’s lead in scaling the wall to the north. At the top, stay behind him until a cutscene begins. When this ends, press / to perform a Leap of Faith. Once the cinematics end, follow the prompt to activate Eagle Vision to bring the Memory to a close.

Memory 02/“Rebirth”

From your start position, climb to the first balcony on the Sainte-Chapelle, then pass through the open door.

Once inside, climb up to the balcony and press / to investigate the device stationed there.

Follow the path shown above to reach the waypoint marker on the far side of the room before the timer elapses. If you cannot reach it in time, go back and interact with the device on the balcony to begin again.

When you reach the waypoint, stand on the perch. Once the secret door has opened, perform a Leap of Faith into the hole below.

Follow Bellec until you reach the Assassins. After the cutscene, approach the chalice and press / to drink. The gameplay sequence that follows is strictly linear, with some entirely uncomplicated free running and climbing to complete in order to advance the story.

When you arrive in a darkened chamber with crowds of hooded figures, walk towards the picture marked “Natus” (directly ahead of the position where you begin) until you reach the crowd. At this point, activate Eagle Vision to identify a figure highlighted in gold. Using the crowd as cover, move behind this individual, then step out of concealment and press / to perform an assassination.
