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 LT and press X 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 B to throw an enemy to the ground. While they are lying on the ground, press X
to stab them. This is especially useful when surrounded by enimies or when assassainating targets.
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 LB + RB and press X. 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 LB and press X. 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 RB + A 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 LB to lock onto
your target while still chasing him down. When you get close enough, the word "Assassinate" will appear for X
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.
Easy "Eagle's Challenge" achievement
In Memory Block 1, after Al Mualim sends you to defend the fortress against the Templar attack, wait at the
intersection/fork that is about 135 feet from the destination, just after the hill/path that leads to the
Creed building. Guards will continuously respawn down the right fork. You can just stand still and kill 25
guards as your status will never leave "exposed" until you go to the destination.
Go to the entrance of Acre, but go through Kingdom. There is a base of soldiers. Start killing them, but do
not finish all of them. Start running to gather more. Kill a few, then run again. Do this until you get the
achievement. If you take long time, you may also unlock the "Eagle's Flight" achievement.
Easy "Eagle's Dive" achievement
In Masyaf, go to the castle. Enter the training arena, and choose the option for combo kill. When you succeed
three times, the match will end. Select it again, and continue until you get the achievement.
Easy "Eagle's Flight" achievement
When you first reach Damascus and must save the citizen, kill two of the three guards. Back yourself into a
stall or a corner that you cannot be pushed out of, then hold RT to guard. In ten minutes you will get the
achievement. You can also put a rubber band around your controller and RT, and allow the game to idle.
Easy "Eagle's Will" achievement
In the area after you first start the game, just after you see the Knights
