The Messenger's Burden
Unlocked After: Sequence 6 - Memory 2: Romagna Holiday

You have one minute to get the quest-giver's letter to a farmer outside of Forli. The farmer is just on the other side of the east wall of the city. At the start, run east and look for some wooden stairs leading up to a wall and wooden beam. Free-Run up the crates and across the beam to land on the wooden platform along the building on the other side of the street. Climb up onto the roof of the building and begin heading north. Look for a rope bridge connected to the city wall along the east side of the rooftops and cross it. Hop over to the wooden beam on the other side of the wall and perform a Leap of Faith to land in the pile of hay below.

Follow the green marker on the Mini-Map to reach the recipient. It seems the recipient is not on good terms with the author of the letter, and the farmer wants to punish you for it. You can either fight or flee from the farmers to complete the memory. There's no glory in slaughtering a group of unarmed farmers, so it's best to just get out of there.

Beat Up

Wanton Hubby
Unlocked After: Sequence 6 - Memory 2: Romagna Holiday

The unfaithful husband is somewhere within the large, green circle on the Mini-Map. Travel to this location, activate Eagle Vision and begin your search. Unless his location is completely random, he'll be by one of the houses near the bridge at the west end of the circle. You must beat him with your fists. He has two buddies with him, both unarmed. They will attempt to help the target while you deliver the beat-down. Be ready to Counter their attacks by holding RT/R2 and pressing the X/Square button when the attack is about to connect.

Use your fists to teach the unfaithful husband some respect.

Promiscuity Knocks
Unlocked After: Sequence 6 - Memory 2: Romagna Holiday

The promiscuous husband is somewhere within the green circle on the map. Follow the green target on the Mini-Map to reach this location. Unless his location is completely random, the husband should be standing by the well near the drawbridge. Use Eagle Vision to identify him. If he isn't there, get on top of a building, activate Eagle Vision and scan the area for him. Once you've identified him, walk up to him and start beating him with your fists. Just keep mashing the X/Square button and he won't be able to fight back. Deplete his health to complete the memory.

Assassination Contracts

Thin the Ranks
Unlocked After: Sequence 6 - Memory 2: Romagna Holiday

Assassinate the six guards marked on the Mini-Map. The assassinations can be as high or as low profile as you like. Easy.

Beginnings of a Conspiracy
Unlocked After: Sequence 6 - Memory 2: Romagna Holiday

You're after three guards. You must kill all three without being detected. The only problem is that each of the three targets is with company. So, you'll want to purchase some Poison for this. You can deliver poison to a target to effectively kill him without being detected. The guard closest to the Abbazia Di San Mercuriale is patrolling with three other guards -- just use Eagle Vision to identify him. Throw some coins down to get the other guards out of the way, and then hit the target with poison and make for the next one.

The other two targets are also with guards, but you should be able to poison them right in front of the others without being implicated. Poison both guards and wait for them to keel over to complete the memory.

Beginnings of a Conspiracy

Arch Enemies
Unlocked After: Sequence 6 - Memory 2: Romagna Holiday

You have two minutes to kill 10 archers. The countdown starts as soon as you kill your first archer. Purchase as many Throwing Knives as you can carry before starting this one. If you haven't already, visit a Tailor and see if they have a Throwing Knife Belt Upgrade in stock.

Once you're all suited up, head to the north end of the rooftops where the archers are all lined up, equip your Throwing Knives and climb up. Lock on to the first archer and hit him with a throwing knife to get started. A group of guards will likely start after you, but do your best to ignore them. Just continue running south across the rooftops, hitting the marked archers with Throwing Knives until you've killed all 10.

Arch Enemies

Wet Work
Unlocked After: Sequence 6 - Memory 2: Romagna Holiday

Your target is the captain aboard the boat in the waters east of Forli. The boat is a restricted area, so the guards onboard are on high-alert and will attack on sight. Swim out to the boat and over to one of the sides. Climb up onto the side of the boat and shift over to the back. Climb up and hang just below the railing. Use Eagle Vision to identify the target. Wait until the captain is standing at the back of the boat with his back to you, at which point pull yourself up onto the railing and perform an Air Assassination with your Hidden Blade to complete the memory.

The guards onboard will immediately take to attacking you. Dive into the water, hop on the gondola and row back to shore to escape.

Wet Work

Dead On Arrival
Unlocked After: Sequence 6 - Memory 2: Romagna Holiday

The target is somewhere within the green circle on the map. Unless his location is completely random, he should be on the rooftops somewhere. Climb onto a building and use Eagle Vision to locate the agent. He's a runner, so try to take him out swiftly. Maybe hit him with a couple of Throwing Knives. If he does manage to take off, he's not very fast, so you shouldn't have much difficulty catching up and ending him with your Hidden Blade.

Go Towards the Light
Unlocked After: Sequence 6 - Memory 2: Romagna Holiday

Your target is atop the lighthouse along the north coast of Romagna. Exit Forli and make your way to the red target on the map. The lighthouse is a restricted area, so the guards are on high-alert and will attack on sight. To avoid getting into a fight, run around to the north side of the warehouse and climb up onto the broken archway. Assassinate the archer from the ledge using the Hidden Blade and then take out the Brute there.

Get on top of the wooden posts left of the door and then begin climbing the lighthouse. Climb all the way up to the top of the lighthouse to reach the target. Get onto the ledge and perform an Air Assassination with your Hidden Blade to kill the target and complete the memory.

Go Towards the Light

Mark and Execute
Unlocked After: Sequence 6 - Memory 2: Romagna Holiday

You must kill the target without being detected. He's in a small courtyard by the docks at the north end of Romagna. The best way to assassinate him without being detected is to perform an Air Assassination with the Hidden Blade. There are three archers posted around the courtyard, so you'll want to dispatch them first.

Start by climbing up the south side of the building below the restricted area on the Mini-Map. Sneak up behind the archer on the wooden platform and ice him with your Hidden Blade. Then, drop down to the lower walls and kill the two archers patrolling along there. Use Throwing Knives or your Hidden Blade -- just make sure the target doesn't see you.

Once the archers have been taken care of, walk along the roof, taking care not to be spotted by the target, and wait for opportunity to strike. When the target has his back turned and is below you, lock on to him, move to the edge of the roof and hit the X/Square button when the “Assassinate” option appears in the top-right corner of the screen. Be careful not to accidently kill the woman in front of the two guards
