AMM: The Deacon, P1

Assassin Mastery Memory --The Deacon, Part 1

Once you have some of your recruits reach Level 10 you will notice that there are new symbols on your Dens -- these mark the Master Assassin Missions.  These are two-parters that require you to assign one of your Level 10 Assassin Recruits to the Den and complete the mission, and then level them to Level 15 (the rank of Master Assassin).  When you do this with 7 of your Recruits you will unlock two Achievements -- "My Protege" (20 GS) for having one trainee reach the rank of Master Assassin, and "The Mentor"    (20 GS) for having seven trainees reach the rank of Master Assassin.

Master Assassin: Disposing of the Body

These are not as difficult as you might think, and besides you will want to do this anyway.  If you are following the guide right now all you have done is the Recruit Memory for Galata and all of the regular recruits for there as well -- with the six remaining Recruit Memories undone.  That is fine for our purposes, though you can do them really in any order you want bearing in mind that there is a limit to the number you can have recruited at any one time unless you assign some to the Mediterranean Defense cities that you have captured...

You should have at least seven recruits to Level 10 by now, so let's begin with the Master Assassin Missions shall we?

The Bayezid Den Master Assassin Mission

-- Bayezid District Den - Master Assassin Mission --

When you enter the Den there is a marker to walk into -- which prompts you to assign one of your Level 10 Recruits to the Den.  Do that and then talk to them and you will learn of a plot to kill the Orthodox Patriarch -- the leader of the church in Constantinople.

Accept the mission and then head for the marker to bribe a clergy member to get more information.  For full Synchronization you must locate the clergyman on your first go, but that should not be a problem.  When you reach the marker area you get a search area dot -- turn on Eagle Vision and follow the path on the stairs to scan for the clergy member and talk to them.  They give you data on a banished Deacon and speculate that they would be the prime suspect.

Get your Recruit to the next marker and use Eagle Vision to scan the area -- your Recruit takes the initiative on his own, ID's what he thinks is the target and attacks!  But it was the wrong target -- and you make sure he understands the enormity of his mistake.

You instruct him to take up the body, and then you must lead him past the patrols to one of the markers on the map, where he can dispose of the body in the water.  This completes this part of the mission, and gains you 100% Synchronization!  Well done... Err, well done for you, for your Apprentice?  Not so much...

Note: As with a number of other Mastery Missions you are going to need to get this Den Leader to Master Assassin Level before the second half will unlock -- so what we are going to do is complete all of the other Mastery Missions now so that all of our Recruits are basically in the same boat, and then start doing Mediterranean Defense Missions to kill two birds with one stone -- get them to Mastery Level (Level 15) and seize control of the Mediterranean!
