Secret Locations: Hagia Sophia's Secret

The Hagia Sophia Challenge

To achieve 100% Synchronization for this mission you must complete the level in under 6 minutes.

The Hagia Sophia Secret  Location is unlocked by finding all 10 pages of Ishak Pasha’s lost memoir pages -- after you collect the 10th page the location appears on your map as a flashing iron cross icon and, when you head over to the marker, one of the walls is now glowing.  As with the other secret doors, you use your Hidden Blade as the key to open this door and let yourself in!

If you played the previous games this should be cake for you -- the issue is really just going to be figuring out the route.  And about that - there is no point in my trying to explain it to you -- what you need to do is watch the video -- because this is a fluid and very fast route by necessity due to the time limit -- so watch the video once to see the route and then, if you get stuck, you can watch it again...

If you have any trouble at all it is going to be the jump to one particular beam that you have to jump across to that you have to hit just right -- if not you fall and plummet to your death (I did that a dozen times before I got the hang of it).

When you finally get to the central chandelier and open the door in the floor below, do the leap of faith but be sure that you empty the three treasure chests in there and then grab the best armor in the game -- whoohoo!

Completing this in under 6 minutes -- and you should be able to do that -- gets you 100% Synchronization, unlocking the Achievement "Holy Wisdom" (20 GS) which is, of course, awarded for completing the Hagia Sofia Challenge!
