Part 23: Gatekeeper Series

Part 23: Gatekeeper Series

Taking out the French Baron

-- Gatekeeper --

You are tasked with preventing the French Troops from taking over the barracks by lowering the gates that lead inside -- to 100% this one you need to not take any damage in the process!

The easy way to do this is to use your smoke bombs to give yourself time to close the gates without having to fight.  So do that now :)

After you close the gates you are confronted by the French General, whe has the Mercenaries wife hostage.  After the CS get on your horse and follow Bart to the fort, where he will yell a lot and then this part of the memory is complete.  Head towards the next memory marker on the map now.

-- French Kiss --

Go inside and talk to Bart, who will listen as you explain the plan.  Now you must assassinate 20 French Soldiers in the ruins so that Bart's men can take their uniforms and armor.  To do this 100% you must not be detected!

Head to the red markers on the radar map and kill French Soldiers until you reach 20 -- this is the easiest part of the series :)  Now head for the next memory marker!

-- Trojan Horse --

The plan is coming together -- you now need to march your disguised forces to the French camp, killing any outlying checkpoint guards along the way so that they cannot raise the alarm.  To get 100% on this one you have to do it without losing any health!

According to the instructions on screen you are supposed to follow the mercenaries and not lead them, but you are also to eliminate any guards so that no one can sound the alarm.  You will find that this works easier and smoother if you run ahead and clear the way rather than trying to follow behind and deal with the problems after they become problems...

Once inside the camp you will march through several gates, and finally confront the Baron.  Or Bart does rather...  When the Baron is just about the shoot Bart's wife as an object lesson you give the signal, and it is a free-for-all slay-fest!  Woo hoo!

As soon as you hit your target count you get a brief CS in which Bart asks you to save his wife, which ends this part of the memory and starts the next!

-- Au Revoir --

You need to catch and assassinate the Baron and you need to do it in under 5 minutes so get going!

Once you get across to the other side and into the yellow area you drop down onto the ground and open the portcullis, then run inside and shoot the Baron, getting 100% and saving Bart's wife.  Excellent!  You pulled off a miracle! 

Not only did you do the near impossible, you unlocked the Achievement "Forget Paris" which is worth 30 GP and signals the end of another Sequence -- Sequence 6 in this case.  And how about that?!

At this point you should be getting repeated notices to return to your home base on the island for a ceremony, as several of your Recruits are ready to be made full Assassins!  This is a great time to do the usual stuff, hit the Bank, top off your kit, you know the drill by now, but also why not attend that ceremony?  I am sure your men would be proud that you did.
