Completion bonus
Successfully complete the game. When the Memory Blocks are played again in Story mode, you can kill anyone
without penalty. Additionally, you will be able to use Eagle Vision at any time regardless of Synchronization
levels inside of the Animus.
Escaping from guards
Go to a high roof when chased. Kill the guards that appear. After a few kills, they will either run or give
up.
Easy citizen missions
When helping a citizen, do not just attack the guards. Hold L2 and press Square with the dagger ready. This
will eliminate one of the guards and give you a better chance. Sometimes you can assassinate two guards before
they notice you.
Easy kills
Equip your hidden blade. Press Circle to throw an enemy to the ground. While they are lying on the ground,
press Square to stab them. This is especially useful when surrounded by enimies or when assassainating
targets.
Note: Only attempt this technique if they are fluent in the Rank 2 skill "Counter" and they have enough
Synchronization bars; one and a half rows of bars will do. When in battle, equip your hidden blade. With this
equipped, all of your counters will score an instant kill. You can even instantly kill tougher ranked guards
(for example, the Teutonic guards in Acre when hunting Sebrand). Also, most of the time using the hidden blade
in battle will scare the last one or two (even three if you are lucky) guards, causing them to run away.
However, because you do not have a weapon that is sufficient enough to block a full sized enemy blade, all
incoming attacks will hurt you.
While in battle, if you see a guard you are fighting physically emote in any way (for example, taunting you or
cowering in fear), press Low Profile Assassinate while facing them to score an instant kill without having to
counter.
The best weapon for more than four guards or thugs is the Short Blade.
Easier interrogations
After you get the "target" to a safe area to "interrogate" them, punch them first then "grab" them for faster
completions. It will take about two grabs to quickly finish them. However, in the last three quarters of the
game, you may have to grab them up to four times.
Easier game
To lower the time needed to complete the game and decrease the difficulty of each major assassination, do the
following in order (with the exception of Masyaf):
Visit the Assassin's Guild.
Scan the city by first climbing all of the view points.
Rescue all the citizens from the thugs. You will need the help after a major assassination.
Successfully complete all of the informant's missions (to get all the valuable information you can).
Pickpocket the shysters in all of the pickpocket missions (for information to the Guild).
Once all of these are completed, go back to the Assassin's Guild to start the major assassination mission.
Unlocking your bedroom door
When you go to bed after Memory Block 2, you will notice your closet door is open. Press any button to get a
piece of paper Desmond notes as a code. The code will unlock your bedroom door, which will allow you to be
able to go out as often as you like after you go to bed, as well as to open the meeting room area. You can
also pick up various items to unlock Lucy's password.
Decoding e-mails from Lucy's computer
One item you can pick up after being able to unlock your bedroom door is Lucy's password. You can then
investigate her e-mails, which entail a short secondary story line. After you complete the last Memory Block,
go back outside your room. Go to Lucy's computer. In "Deleted Items" is an e-mail which entails her talking to
someone about a rescue, then the last reply comes back as:
WondEr Why It is everyone Laughs at you?
i'll Let you guess.
let's just say she's proBably gEtTing it bigger and better from someone else tHat isn't you.

Hidden messages
After killing Al Muaiam and returning to the real world, listen to the conversation about how they going to
kill you. Turn on your Eagle Vision, and look at the floor. There are some mixed up letters on both sides of
the Amnius. You should see on the side closest to the main door:
M O R Y M N O E S
E N C E O L C H T
H O N B T L O T C
T D E O S A T O A
P E D S N L S T F
L D D U O O E T E
E A I E I R I N T
H S H K T T K E R
T U A A A N S S A
To decode this, start reading at the bottom right hand corner to the top right hand corner, so you will start
at "A" and stop at "S". It will spell a real word. Do this for all of the columns and it will read:
ARTEFACTS SENT TO THE SKIES TO CONTROL ALL NATIONS TO MAKE US OBEY A HIDDEN CRUSADE DO NOT HELP THEM
Next, do the same thing to the mixed letters on the other side of the Amnius:
A
D R H
O O D T M
W H B I T D O
E U S Y S I N S E
A R O O M R E A Y N R
I S E Y T N I D L M I D E
T W I H W Y I E A U D A Y H T
It will spell out:
THEY DRAINED MY SOUL AND MADE IT THEIRS I DRAINED MY BODY TO SHOW YOU WHERE I SAW IT
Assassinations
Loud assassination: Hold L1 + R1 and press Square. You can do this while running up to a guard, and it almost
always works from any angle. However, it is noisy and causes civilians to run for guards.
Silent assassination: Hold L1 and press Square. It has less of a chance of working, and works best when used
behind guards so no one hears you.
Assassination in Jerusalem
When you go to Jerusalem and do the assassination with the guards surrounding you, do not try to fight them
off. Instead, turn around and run up the ladder to get to the second floor. A short intermission sequence will
show your target running away and up another ladder. Hold R1 + X and run across the chandeliers. The ladder
will be to the right. Run up the ladder, and another short intermission sequence will show your target on top
of another building. Chase him down, and have your wrist blade enabled (press Up). Then, press L1 to lock onto
your target while still chasing him down. When you get close enough, the word "Assassinate" will appear for
Square in the upper right of the screen. Press it to complete your task. After another intermission sequence,
evade the guards by jumping onto building roofs, hiding, etc. Make your way over to the bureau to complete the
memory.
Defeating the Master
When fighting the Master, he will take away your ability to use radar and make it difficult to see. This also
allows him to hit you once and kill you. Lock on to him, and use a throwing knife against him. This will take
away his power to blind you and make him easier to kill.
Defeating William of Montferrat in Acre
After the guards (or most of them) leave William, drop down from the castle, and slay William. Then,
"de-target" or deselect, and run up into the castle buildings and battlement to get away. This is the fastest
way of completing the mission.
Transformers reference
Go to the southwestern-most vigilantes in the poor district of Damascus. On one of the buildings around them,
you should see an outcropping in the wall, climb on it to see it looks exactly like G1 Optimus Prime in
vehicle mode. Note: There may be more than one outcropping in the area, so look carefully. If you lose
sight of the vigilantes, you have gone too far.
