Rewards: Pounds: 1200 (+250), EXP: 600 (+250), Extra: Schematic - Nightshade Cloak Schematic

Challenges: 1. Use Henry's distraction twice. 2. Kill guards using hanging barrels.

This is a very long mission that consists of various phases, so you'll want to completely stock up your inventory. In the first phase you'll have to inspect three chests. Start by rope launching to the building to your left and assassinate the sniper here. Then move to the building Henry is standing on. The building across the street has two snipers, so launch towards it and kill both of them, which is easy since they have their backs turned toward you. Return to Henry and speak with him. He tells you he can distract guards by showing himself and throw a smoke bomb. You can have him do this whenever you want. Simply look at an enemy and press R1/RT when the command comes up.

You can deal with the enemies below in two ways. One option is to throw a smoke bomb at them yourself, sabotage the alarm bell and then defeat them one by one. You can then search the chest. The second option is to escape after searching the chest before they know what hit them. In any case, be sure to use Henry's help, since it's part of a 'challenge'. The next chest is in a building down the street. You can enter via a window on the side, but you'll have to take out a few Templars in the street down below and in the building itself. If you take a quiet approach and move slowly, taking Blighters and Templars out one by one, a lot of stealthy assassinations are possible. Search the house for the green marker and you'll find that the chest doesn't contain what you're looking for once again.

This leaves one last chest, which is again in a building. There are various enemies in front of that house, and there's another alarm bell. Use Henry's distraction, throw a smoke bomb at them yourself and sabotage the bell, then assassinate the enemies. Use knife throwing if necessary to deal with some of them quickly. Enter the nearby open window and search the chest. Nothing. You have no option but to kidnap one of the Templars. Even if you killed most of them on the streets, there's almost always one around in one of the buildings that you missed. Scan the area with Eagle Vision and approach the Templar from the back, then kidnap him.

After this, follow the marker and inspect the various waypoints on the ground, then speak with the kids. You'll have to follow the trail of the carriage across town. If it becomes unclear which direction it went in, simply use Eagle Vision for a better highlight of tracks. When you reach the market, scan the area for enemies and kill the nearby Templar. Use knife headshots for the enemies up ahead and dive into the stack of hay to eliminate any remaining ones. There's also a sniper on a rooftop next to the park, which is guarded by two more enemies. In any case, when you've cleared out the market, speak with all indicated people to learn more.

Tip: Open up your map and stock up on knives and bullets for the last portion of this mission.

Head into the park afterwards, climb the building on the left and assassinate the sniper on the corner of the roof, then assassinate the brute down below, followed by the second enemy. There are two more enemies in the park, so defeat them and then speak with the last person. He'll point you to the hole on the ground next to the building, indicated by an Entry Point now.

Go through the sewers but use Eagle Vision after moving through the first tube. Go down one set of steps and hide against the wall, then whistle to lure the brute up, allowing a cover assassination. You'll reach a chamber where the Templars are holding Henry. Be SURE to hide on the right side of the hall before continuing, and wait for the closest-by Templar to walk a bit to the middle so you can defeat him by throwing a knife at the hanging barrels (part of a challenge; you only need one more opportunity after this). Defeat the other two either with a headshot or regularly. Free Henry and follow him out of the sewer tunnels. You'll get to double assassinate two Templars along the way.

When you're out of the sewers you'll spot various enemies up ahead. Be SURE to defeat the ones to the upper left of the stairs by throwing a knife at the hanging barrels above them. This completes the challenge. Turn right and try to (double) assassinate the Templars, followed by another single Templar. Since they normally run after Henry, it's a great advantage since you can take them out more easily with assassinations. On the square, a big fight ensues. Stay close to Henry and simply start taking out enemies as quickly as possible. Use knives to do so, and switch to your pistol when you run out. You can also recruit some Rooks to make things easier. Ignore the sniper on the roof. As long as you defeat enemies on the ground quickly, you and Henry should be safe. With the crowd thinned out, follow Henry to finish the memory.
