After you assasinate someone, I find it's alot easier to get on top of the buildings instead of running on the streets. There are less guards and more hiding places.

Hey again veltz here with more goodies ha ha

When sword fighting use the short blade and throwing knifes it's much better for insant kill move's if theres lots of soliders run back throw knifes and then charge in and slit them up ha ha thanks for reading

After you beat the game, watch the credits don't skip them. You should then wake up, and be able to walk around and go to previous memories. Well, enter any one of them, and go to the masyaf(out of the castle where you start). You can kill anyone without loosing life. You can go around and assassinate anyone you want.

If you find yourself in a bind with more guards chasing you than you'd like to handle just find a cliff or climb a roof. Stand near an edge and let them all catch up (they will all climb a roof to get you if you wait). Once they do, let them get close enough and press RT+B this will grab the closest one in arms length. Use the LS to direct them off the cliff or roof top. Just let them line up and throw them all to thier death one by one till there's no more threat.

When you have to pickpocket some guys, you might have some trouble. You can only do this when the guy is moving, if they are not they will get the guards. As they are walking walk up as close as possible to them without them noticing, then press B to pickpocket. Also if they get the guards find somewhere to hide as their getting them.

When you kill someone using your sword or blade they usually roll around on the floor making a lot of noise and attracting attention. If they are still alive and moving on the floor select your secret blade, press up, and go upto the body and press X. You will then finish them off.

You can assassinate targets/guards/civilians from above. Stand on the edge of a ledge not too far from the ground. Not too high or he won't do it. Lock onto your target and make sure that your secret blade is selected. Then hold RT, lean forward and press X and he will automatically jump down and assassinate. Note that this will be a loud assassination and will attract that attention of the guards.

Don't know when this comes available but after the third time back to the real world where you lay down where the computer is the woman leaves her pen take it and look on the pc for some info.

Ok So Its not exactly the runes you'll be reading, but rather the large blocks of words with them.

To start off with the large square sequence of letters.

The letters read..

"artefacts sent to the skies to control all nations to make us obey a hidden crusade do not help them." this can be seen by reading from the bottom left upwards.

Finaly the large triangle of letters.

The letters read..

"they drained my soul and made it theirs I drain my body to show you where I saw it." (refering to the runes located in the bedroom on the wall.) and again read this the same way as above.

As for the smaller word, or words over by the conference room window, I havent a clue unfortunately. If anyone has any ideas or if it's just not meant to be anything please submit.

If you are falling press B to grab onto any ledge, also use this to get down a building without hurting yourself (You get this ability after the 2rd assassination).

Pickpocked the fat guys who you can lock onto to get more throwing knives. When they are walking walk up behind them and hold B. You get throwing knives after the third assassination.

When fighting just use the counter attack. Whenever someone goes to hit you hold RT. Make sure you realease and then re-hold RT before each attack on you. This way even if they attack from behind you still block it. Whilst holding RT press X the moment they swing to counter attack (You get this ability very early on).

Use the Scholars to get into the cities. They will let you walk with them if you save one citizen. This can also be used to hide from guards.

Holding RT and A whilst on a horse will alert the attention of the guards.
