AMM: The Champion, P1

Assassin Mastery Memory -- The Champion, Part 1

Our next mission is in the South Bayezid District adjacent to the Arsenal District -- your Apprentice explains to you that a local printer has received a death threat, and he has a plan to draw the enemy out into the open, with you stalking their escort mission to take out the enemy.  For 100% Synchronization you must stay on the rooftops for the entire tail.

Before you get into this one there is something that we need to cover -- the controls in the game are notorious for their quirks, often causing your character to do exactly the wrong thing at the worse time.  You tell him to walk and he jumps off the roof to the ground.  While that is normally annoying, in this case it will actually cost you the 100% Synchronization since you are not supposed to leave the roof.  I personally encountered this twice in this mission alone -- and while I will not go so far as to say that the controls are buggier in this particular mission, it sure felt that way.  The point is that you want to be very careful with the controls during this one.

As soon as you step into the icon on the roof you will see the escort marker below, and they will almost immediately be attacked.  If you allow your Apprentice to die, you fail the mission.  If you allow the printer to die, you fail the mission.  Don't fail the mission.  You can use your throwing knives for this, and call in Assassins -- but do not forget your Crossbow!  It makes nice ranged death when you want it to.

The Southern Bayezid Den Master Assassin Mission

FRUSTRATION WARNING

At this point your Apprentice and the Printer will be attacked by a Templar Assassin who warns your Apprentice to stand down...  You may think you have been hit with a bug when you discover that you cannot target the attacker, and if you try, or jump around or down, or do ANYTHING other than chase after the Printer, who is running away, you fail the mission because the Printer gets killed.The thing here is that you are not supposed to do the battle below -- you are supposed to chase after the Printer -- but you are not told this -- hence the massive frustration that gamers have with this mission and the large number of postings asking if it is bugged.

Master Assassin: Protecting the Printer

So when the Templar Assassin attacks, you should IMMEDIATELY jump down and follow the Printer into the courtyard down the street, take out the pair of Templar who are attacking him before they can kill him, and then run back to your Apprentice.

You get a CS in which you discuss the attack, and then you end the mission with 100% Synchronization -- good on ya mates!
