  • Haha what I did to defeat Robert was run around in circles like an idiot until my synchronization bar was full again, then I'd fight him. And if he beat me up too much, I'd start running around again. It was the only way I didn't get killed XD

  • Best mission in the whole AC series, HANDS DOWN. Assassins Creed 2 was pretty awesome, but I can say without a shadow of doubt that no missions in Brotherhood OR Revelations even came CLOSE to giving me the same feeling that came about when I was 11 years old and going to finally kill Robert De Sable, sometime in early 2008 (probably at the time that this video was uploaded).

  • I prefer the fighting system in AC1 as opposed to Revelations. It's more challenging.

  • This fight gave me hell until I stopped trying to beat it and treated it as an exercise in counter-attacking. I was having an awful turn: down to one health piece with about six templars left. I had been pushing too hard trying to make things happen. I almost gave up and started over when I decided to just keep going and practice countering. It was slow from then on, my health slowly creeping back up, but I never got hit again and ended up killing all the remaining templars and beating Robert.

  • This level is such a fucking piss take on PC, they attack from all sides at the same time, do a bullshit double hit you can neither block nor dodge

  • If they make an assassins creed film, who thinks Robert De Stable should be played by Faran Tahir?

  • You just gotta be really good at multi killing being aware of other templars while killing another, thats when counter-killing comes in handy. I'll be honest this level took me 3 times. Yeah it's a b*tch, but you own them all once you know how too.

  • cant believe he enters the fight with de Sablewith full heath... i normally only have 4-5 left :'( and then i die FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!!

  • robert de sable: most badass medieval bald french templar

  • damn ur good lol

  • I used the hidden blade at this part. Because unlike the other weapons its almost always a kill when you counter attack

  • There's a much easier way to do this fight than running around in a circle - wait in one place and let them attack and press the counter button at the right time when they attack and break every time they grab u I didn't need to run around at all :-) x

  • seriously i dont get how u make it look so easy ive died 15x and they all rape me at the same time

  • I swear the PC version is a lot more difficult... counter kill is crap

  • How in the hell did you do that with out losing health I mite try that circle thing that smoothie said I don't think its dumb

  • thanks alot!

  • lol the first time I did this my tactic was to run in a circle while I healed it felt stupid XD

  • man i want he accent!

  • why cant i enter de Sables land? i only see this bluey-glowing wall ''help''?

  • You must first complete the 9th Assassination. After that you will be told in the Bureau to go to Arsuf, which will then be unlocked.

  • @RikimaruTheHulk i killed all the people i needed to kill i synchronisized all viewing spots but cant get any further and de Sables land is flashing in my map but when i go there i still see the wall

  • @Smoothhiee you have to kill all the gaurds

  • how the hell is this an honest fight?

    @mike44plus182 i only had like 2 more bars than 1 and a half, when i got too low (right before i fought robert) i just ran in circles around the dueling ground until i had full sync then killed him. kinda ruins the spirit of the fight but it works :P

  • hidden blade to the rescue

  • Counter on pc does work, turn on 'toggle high profile' and just counter like a bitch!

  • its quicker to use hidden blade and counter all attacks, counter with hidden blade allways kills but counter with sword you sometimes just kick the attacker away

  • wtf, in pc version they just don't stand there, they attack form everywhere, even from the back. It's too dificult.

  • holy crap, this guys good

  • it doesnt work on pc

  • OOOOOHHHH!!!!!! crotch shot!

  • It is actually annoying when you counter-grab and they keep on doin' it even thought 5 guys couldn't make it before.

  • another good tactic is using the short blade and using throwing knives to quickly take some of the templars

  • ive been trying for hours, how do i get two bar life like in the video? doing jobs or somehing? maybe with more life i could do it! i only have one and half bar, this guy has the 2 bars full

  • Doing all Save Citizens and View Points will make out the life (sync) bars.

  • Comment removed

  • I can't do it!!! someone come do it for me!

  • took me a while to kill them too. i would finish off the guards then de sable would destroy me.

    best way to do it for me was to run around in circles when de sable started fighting to get my health up then attack him.

  • Can someone please explain me how to kill these guards with the hidden blade! I have been trying over 50 times during the past week and I am about to throw this game out of the window (together with part 2, its unpacked on the shelf). I am stuck here at the last group of guards! Thanks for your help.

  • @gerritsent counter attack

  • also, you can counter with a blade or throwing knives too, use blade to counter robert and kill him even faster, that's what i did to al mualim in the last memory block

  • When I started to fight him, he grabbed me and I countered, so he fell on the ground and I assasinated him, a 3 seconds fight XD

  • how to defend urself??? im playing now but i cant defend myself... u know when a knight hits ur sword to get it away and then kills u? thats when i cant defent my self when he hits my sword... how do i go back and quickly cover myself with my sword?? thanks

  • @3amer1986 there's no way to defend when a knight had just broke yours defense (this is the name of the movement), so the best thing to do when fighting against a knight is to get more agressive than with the low rank guards, the good part is that one hour as you increase your rank you'll can do the same and they will have no vantage anymore.

  • @Dioblackironoyster After he broke your defence, dodge his next incoming attack.

  • You do this so fast I take ages and make it to Robert on low health.

  • shite ur too good

  • This fight has frustrated me to no end. Glad to find an easy way to beat it.

  • Wow... i've tried this fight (the templars, not Robert) quite literally over 20 times now. The only attacks they do are either the defense breaks or counters, and my counter doesn't go off half the time. This is the only part of the game i've had any problem with so far and i just can't pass it lol

  • Why Is Robert de Sable So Damn Tall?! He Makes Altair look short! LOL

  • its kinda wierd how theres like 9 people fighting against you, but only one attacks while the others stand back

  • OUTNUMBER HIM 9 to 1

    LET'S ATTACK HIM 1 AT A TIME!

  • @KillerX3189 And just stay watching while he is pusing his blade into a soldier!

  • @KillerX3189; They're all intimidated by Altair. They didn't want to take any chances. Guess they were scared

  • @KillerX3189 doesnt happen when you play in PC. At some point I received heavy, slow attacks 6 times at once, it was all slash slash slash and I have only 1 sync bar left

  • @TheMorgrad I do play PC, and OLD REPLY BRO.

  • wow, the assassin brotherhood was real, they were muslims that assassinated the crusaders, never knew that (thank you dictionaries and boredom, lol)

  • @sengfar964

    Actually, they spent more time assassinating their fellow Muslims, and really did threaten to kill Sultan Saladin by leaving a dagger near his bed.

  • @manwiththemachinegun really? wow (i gotta pay more attention in class even when looking up things in the dictionary -_- )

  • you have to try this with only your hidden blade its awesome

  • I have a glitch in my game, I can't attack at all at this part, they always break the block or block, and I can't ever land a blow, I'm an experienced AC player, and I don't know what's wrong with it

  • its easier to fight with the hidden blade, then you kill your enemies immediately after counter attack

  • altair sucks ass he could have killed him in the begining

  • thx dude it worked very well.

  • you coulda just counter killed with the hidden blade but your way works too

  • Comment removed

  • this is the hardest shit ever!

  • 1:38 - 1:44 Nice!

  • u r pro :P

  • at 1:15 why did the guard try to throw you when he just saw what happened to the other guard when he tried to grab you? stupid idiots XD

  • legend, you helped me do this HARD level. thanks XD

  • what city is he in?

  • He's not in a city. He's on the road to Arsuf, which doesn't become available until you complete the 9th assassination.

  • @RikimaruTheHulk Technically it wasn't an assassination, he let her go. But it doesn't matter though.

  • @RikimaruTheHulk does altair look exactly like desmond or is it just me;

  • @MRsupershowstopper they are designed after the same person. plus they are relatives.

  • @Saradostra perhaps, but it is kind of annoying,its like they put desmond in a medieval outfit

  • @MRsupershowstopper yeah, and ezio just looks the same + hair + beard in brtherhood. it doesn't bother me since you can barely see altair's face... and i like that face anyway :D

  • @Saradostra yeah its ok did u also notice altair is the only one with good english accent in the game;

  • @MRsupershowstopper i'm not a native english speaker so i really don't know...

  • @Saradostra neither am i.but you have to admit robert de sable is the best!!

  • Dude how can i do that tricks and stuff on PS3?

  • Stand as close as possible to Robert during the conversation and when you're done. Assassinate him with the hidden blade. DO IT BEFORE HE WALKS AWAY!

  • no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    all of you wrong .just at0.10-0.11 try to run at him with hidden blade and assassinate him.i did this by mistake and it work :) serious!

  • this game is impossible. fuck everyone who bought this game and fuck the assholes who made it.

  • @infernoburrito haha noob not that long ago i hadn't even played this game or seen any footage, a friend lent it to me and i completed it in exactly a week, With school, its not that hard really...

  • Why do the languages change? First it was English, then German? With bits of French? Well, the French parts are always there, I guess. I'm confused. :P

    I'm always having a hard time beating those guys. I always end up on the brink of death and somehow manage to survive. But it's never as easy as beating the normal guards and it was never like this in my game. Strange...

  • @MrsPaperCuts the languages change because your in different parts of the world, even though the map doesnt show... German, French? what parts of the game are these? and also all AI speak english, just with accents.

  • @MrsPaperCuts because the accurate, REAL crusaders were from france, england ,germany etc and went to defend christian lands from muslim invaders in the holy land, north africa, asia minor and then of course EUROPE! Do some history kid.

  • @hitmansilentassassin you could've said it in a friendlier way but oh well, I can't expect common sense from every person I meet. You'll be forgiven, "kid". ;)

  • @hitmansilentassassin

    but germans were not of the templar's order, they were from the teutonic order. Templars were mostly french,english,spanish,portugu­ese (later remaned ''Order of Christ'' in portugal after the templars disbanded due to persecutions from the king of france and the catholic church) crusaders.

  • it can take a few tries but come on you must be a comlete noob to have to try more than 10 times.

  • For you guys that thinks this is hard.

    spare all of your trowhing knifes then run around and throw them at robert's guards.

    when robert is attacking you throw him to the ground and attack with the hidden blade.

  • I hate this part, I am so unlucky and gets those knights with red helmets. Hard as fck to fight them.

  • the counter attacks dont work out some times in the pc version..

  • @MegaPrince28 Yes they work, I'm on the pc too the problem is to time exactly to can make the counter, especially on the hidden blade, I've found dificulty too sometimes but it's not the game or the console fault it's us who need to adaptate.

  • @MegaPrince28 Yeah sometimes he just 'dodges' the attack in a strange way, the blade'll go right through him haha.

  • @MegaPrince28 You jsut cant button smash actually :P

  • @MegaPrince28 u have to hit the counter button as soon as the sword of the enemy is right next to him

  • Comment removed

  • the only problem with this game is it s 2 easy. u shouldnt be able to toy with the final boss. he should be able to toy with u.

  • I agree the game is easy. It was hard until I got down the battle/sword fighting system. All you really gotta do is counter every attack and you're pretty invincible. Yeah they might sneak in a few hits but so what.

    They changed it for Assassin's Creed 2 where you don't have to simply counter.

  • u can actualy kill robert as he walks away when hes done talking just leap on him with ur hidden blade after he says 'To arms assassin!'

  • 1:29 I tought your game was in english xD...

    "Puisque tu y tiens, je vais t'achevé!

  • CHECK HIS LIFE BAR ITS full ALL THE TIME ..

  • How the fuck do you guys fight off guards. I'm still stuck on the fake Robert de Salle (the female one).

    I'm basically mashing the Attack button and all I do is get bludgeoned from all directions. What's the secret to counters. I don't understand how I see videos where you guys just sit back and each guard attacks you one by one and you just block all of their attacks. How do you block?

  • @DiverseLA go to masyaf, to the fighting ring, and go through the tutorials

  • Thanks.

  • @DiverseLA go to where al mualim is in mysaf and to the fighting tutorials. its kinda hard to explain. button mashing wont work.

  • Thanks.

  • On pc, you use left mouse button to block and just before the enemy is about to hit you, right click (attack) and it should counter like you see in the video, but i cant do this battle with the real robert :( fucking templars

  • can this work with the xbox 360 version

  • wat i do is i dont fight with them n keeps on running frm one place to another... lol :P and when i see my target near me i quickly assassinate him...its not that easy though but seriously it works :P

  • i think this was the easiest assasination. there was this one where you had to assassinate a general after he argued with king richard. that was the hardest one. there were four templars with the red helmets. i died like four times. this one was pretty easy.]

  • The game doesn't offer difficulty options, there are no cheats, and this is the PS3.

  • Ah, I'd really like to help but I haven't played this game in 2 years, so I don't recall the specifics of the timing. But basically, once you do get the timing of the counter down, that's all you need. If they're hitting you with the guard break then it does sound like your timing is off, but I'm sorry that I can't give any concrete advice, it's just been so long since I played it & I don't own it.

  • @OsamaBinLooney My advice is, to use counter when they're about to hit you. Example: when their swords have already been swung. If they use the guard break on you, then immediately press dodge once they break your defense. You will dodge their attack, and you can strike back. Take care though, Templars also prefer to counter and dodge.

  • Hahaha, i'm in the same boat. Almost threw my controller through the TV last night lol.

  • finally beat it he other day after like 200 tries

    the best way is to get really good countering with the hidden blade

    dont use the sword or dagger

  • @OsamaBinLooney In the vid he uses the sword pretty effectively

  • ye but at 1:25 he knocks that guy down and hits him THREE TIMES! and the other guards just stand there an watch stupidly

    when I do it when i knock a guy down the other guards cut me off from him and attack me immediately and i cant finish him

  • @OsamaBinLooney its all about timing i found AC1 and AC2 both very easy well the story mode(not all the collectables) but if yo get the timing right in AC1 its a very easy game, and you generaly 1 hit most people, just try to work on countering timing and soon you'll have the game finished :) Gl with it man

  • well ya i've beaten already awhile ago but back when i was stuck on it i was countering the EXACT SAME WAY i had been all game and it wasn't working

    it's like...you get to this part and all the combat rules instantly change

    as for AC 2 ya it was way easier, especially when you can carry around a sh** load of potions

  • @OsamaBinLooney i know man me too, i just got the game last week and am actually stuck on this part, i thought i was stuck on the funeral part but now i really am fucked. Guarding doesnt work for me either, you done this part yet?

  • @poisonheartthrob lol ya i did beat it  4 months ago

    my advice is learn to fight with the hidden blade since it's an instant kill counter that's how i did it

  • @OsamaBinLooney fair enough, ill try it. thanks.

  • Nice one, I don't even know you can actually kill Robert with hidden blade after you threw him.

  • The countering system was so much better in the first one. Ah well.

  • i love how the the team that made this game make such an interesting story with history in a video game

  • I absolutely love the slap and kick in the stomach counter moves!

  • how do i get into the funeral

  • I don't recall; it's just story-related.

  • you know what is fast and fun way to get rid of guards? make sure your good at countering with the hidden blade and fight with that,,,,, i beleive every couter is a kill... except the grab counter

  • instead of going through the guards, go towards the end of the gate which should be to the left of the guards, climb up the house and jump to the over the gate

  • after you complete your investigation return to the assassin's bureau and after you speak to the person there, the location of the funeral will be on your map it is the only way you can reach the funeral.

  • @joeldude76 walk into the crowd around the body

  • yeh everything accept english how ironic lol

  • how do i get to arsuf? sofar im in jerusulem and i dont know were the hell arsuf is.

  • Arsuf won't even unlock until you get to it late in the story, at which point it will show up on the map in the Kingdom.

  • that was pretty pro dude. you got hit like 2 times. no i don't count enemy counters cause those are completely random.

  • Been on this for 4 hours and really really pissed off. Nearly demolished my whole house with bare hands. Then watched this vid and did it first time. Cheers alot.

  • Wow, this fight pissed me off. Anyway, counter all the guards, and once you get to Robert, you may be low on health. Run in a circle (Free running mode, so it's faster), and he will never catch you. Do that until your health is back. Then, once it's up high enough, try doing what the video does. If you get low again, start running again.

  • Holy... haha. Thanks for the information :P

  • what do they ay on german?

  • Good fight ^^

    btw why are the templar speaking german in the english AC version? XD ( I'm german so I understand them ) in our version they are speaking something arabic I think

  • im german too, and i have the english version, i didnt know they were talking arabic stuff in german version :P

  • ahh i love this game played through it again an now im waitintg for ac 2

  • me also

  • Good to know that the different languages isn't just my game. I thought it was messed up audio files or something.

  • The best assassins's creed fight iv seen dude 5/5 wish i could do 1000000/5 lol

  • assasinsations are usually eay, it is the escape that's hard

  • There is no escape involved in this one.

  • the thing i have trouble with is when i fight these kind of guys, they always do the thing where they hit my sword away and attack me. How do i dodge or counter this attack? its making my mad :(

  • You just want to wait for them to make the first attack and you counter them. If they're hitting your sword away then they're countering you, which means that you're attacking too quick. I hope that helps :)

  • it isnt always that the teplars do it all the time it is so annoying

  • Hey, just after they knock your sword away, you dodge with the legs button :)

  • you have to unlock it i think you get after first assassination on memor block 4. I have the pc version and its hold high proile then as the swing hit space

  • I always dodge theyre follow-up attack after they knock my sword away. Sometimes after u do this it may leave the enemy open for an attack. But I noticed that overall that is probably the enemies' best card they try to pull on u again and again in the game.

  • lol im about to try this. I can easily defeat the posse but I always die when trying to assassinate Robert. I love this game cant wait till #2

  • Rikimaru, people find it hard to believe that this is a camera you used for the video XD

  • Well, as I said, it's hooked up directly with the cables. I did not film the TV like most people do with cameras. I've had people ask me why the sound is so good if it's a camera, but with it hooked up directly it's not recording anything but what you see and hear on the TV. Someone could be shouting in the same room, it can't pick it up.

  • im a huge noob 2 I have so much trouble w/ countering and all that. I know how to its just luck 4 me, and when some1 attacks from behind im fucked... how do u counter from behind.

  • It doesn't matter whether the enemies are behind you or whatever, it's all the same. Just hit the button to counter right before they hit you. It's just timing.

  • Looool... I appears I am a total noob :) I died here like 6 times ;)

  • wow lol

  • me too lol xD

  • wow! good assasination

  • ok then

  • I even don't believe him, the quality is pretty good

  • its not a camera

    its all gd quality!

  • ask RIkimaru he said it's camera

  • robert is so easy to kill and all those other noobies 2 :P

  • I think that's the point of the video.

  • lol ive done that
