"Dont try this at home"

Pfft! I am so doing this!

*Broken legs everywhere*

[CrimsonGlory999]

2:05 who killed 'im? *AAHHHH* lolololz

[Simsker]

[usemoselnitro]

5:00

LMAO

[usemoselnitro]

2:38

i would have liked it more if you landed exactly on him

[mrawesome1000]

for your escape just keep running and don't climb the ladder, jump on the rooftop garden and onto the wall. climb up and do a leap of faith.

[cHiKaDiNg58]

Thank God/Allah for the hay!

[9089darklord]

how do you do the jump assassination? I always jump and kick him. It's annoying...

[stabguy36]

See my "Air to Assassinate Guide" on TheHiddenBlade (dot com). It references my video "12 Ways to Wield the Hidden Blade" here on YouTube.

[DChil99]

@stabguy36 can you link me i can't find that specific page

[stabguy36]

@DChil99 You can't really put links in YouTube comments. Here's an approximation:

thehiddenblade (dot) com (slash) air-assassinate-guide

[mrawesome1000]

@9089darklord its not a jump then an assassination. lock on and wait for the HUD to say assassinate

[gaskleronts]

@9089darklord what u do is hold rt and then press x

[mrawesome1000]

lol 2:07

'who killed him' right before he gets killed

[loudornothin]

actually the ledge grab thing works on the insanely tall church too, just sometimes he flys a little to far out. (this was my first time realizing that it didn't cause him any harm at all, and it blew my mind XD) but yes it's a proven fact that Altier is unbreakable

[EvilNoJutsu]

Man Altair. All that jumping and climbing without stopping once to take a breath...he must have a really high sperm count. ;]

[kylenibs7]

cool vid, loved the extras aswell :D stunt assassination was wicked

[kylenibs7]

how do you assassinate them from the jump?, i always jump too far :(

[stabguy36]

Google "air to assassinate guide" for my text walkthrough and/or see my video "12 Ways to Wield the Hidden Blade" /watch?v=vkR1NrtRTw8

[cowabungao]

lol at 2:57 that was really close!

The guard was like: "Was there something?"

very quick reflexes there

[iamsmert123]

Question for people who play AC on the PS3: Does it use the six-axis feature? I just wanted to know.

[cowabungao]

na it doesnt

[EoLoLoIoOoT]

no, if it does i nevr found it

[traxonova]

what the fuck maaan! never seen that before! oh fuck fuck you are the man, playa! : )

[xXmatty360Xx]

this dude is sick at assassins creed

[ptsheffer]

if you wait long enough all the guards leave and he just stands with his back to the wall

[CartesianRent]

Did the guard at 5:36 just touch your ass? o_O

[antantiques]

how did you get full sync in this part of the game?

[stabguy36]

The short answer is to finish the game and then Replay Memory Block 4. Any bonus bars of sync earned from doing Viewpoints and Save Citizens are carried back when you replay a Memory Block.

[Chaosvalentine000]

omg, i couldn't believe he acutally jumped from that far into the room and assassinated him like that..... idk even kno wat to say

[WebOfTwilight]

Very stylish.

[guilhermejrm]

2:09 OWNED

[Raidergod25]

Agreed. That was badass.

[gtaejf]

Hey I did the same exact thing until the escape!

[aidyspady999]

this guy did the stunt bit 2 but grabbed on2 the ledge b4 bouncin back off, he sed ud die if u did it ur way

hmm prooved him wrong

[stabguy36]

It sounds as if you're referring to ianxofour's Eagle Strike assassination of William. He was correct: you would die if you jumped directly to William from that height. My stunt assassination is from a lower point on the tower than his.

[bungiebouncer25]

lol "this news is very grim..."  "very grim indded."

[bungiebouncer25]

dude u are pro u only use ur hidden blade on everyone i cant get along without killing guards without knives or my short blade once again U R PRO!!!!!!!!! ; )

[baconbut95]

AWESOME!

[Digimonkeh]

but they must have had some wicked ass shock absorbing shoes back in those days cause Altair just shook it off like nothing so either wicked ass shcok absorbers or altiar is a even cooler than i thought

[tuukaam1]

whou you are skilled full. whooouuuu i get assassins creed tomorrow

[daniel123444]

what would happen if u throw a knife??

[stabguy36]

Threw at knife at William? That would just make him mad.

You could throw knives at other people. I choose to only use the Hidden Blade.

[Digimonkeh]

yet another thing i didnt know you can assassinate with a throwing knife

[stabguy36]

What? I didn't say/do anything like that.

One Throwing Knife will not kill a main target or Templar. Multiple Throwing Knives will wear him down, same as striking him with the Short Sword I suppose.

[Digimonkeh]

"Threw at knife at William? That would just make him mad.

You could throw knives at other people. I choose to only use the Hidden Blade." i was under the impression that by other people I thought you ment other assassination targets, my bad. I apologize for my bad english its not my first language. I speak a form of broken french spoken in the tropic regions

[stabguy36]

No worries about English vs. French. I understand.

What I meant by "other people" were the archers I killed on the way to reaching William in the first assassination shown in this video. Those can be dropped with one Throwing Knife each.

daniel's question wasn't very clear and I'm afraid my response wasn't either.

[Digimonkeh]

thanks for understanding your very mature compared to the other people ive met on youtube Im not sure if youll understand but Merci!

[AltairCrysis]

You do know that, after the cutscene between William and Richard, when William says "Follow me", you can just walk into the citadel -- you don't have to do all that climbing!

Anyway, I just wanted to say that your videos are really helpful and funny -- keep up the good work!!

[penisman9080]

how do u do the stealth assassination with the hidden blade on someone who is below you when you are on a rooftop?

[stabguy36]

Watch 2:18 - 3:15 of my video "12 Ways to Wield the Hidden Blade":

/watch?v=dld6TArd5Zg

[pastiestatheist]

The link just leads to this video

[stabguy36]

Oh, I finally see what you're talking about! (One month later.) Don't click on the numbers. Those are auto-links inserted by YouTube.

Either search for "12 Ways to Wield the Hidden Blade" by name or form the URL manually by copy/pasting video ID vkR1NrtRTw8.

[gamerboy365]

I love when u die from falling, how everybody just keeps on going like nothing happend considering somone fell from the sky and died.

[eZpiri2]

yeah, but what i dont get is when you throw a guard and they fall and die, everyone starts running and screaming

[Ivyad]

lmao in the second assassination you lost 3/4 of your HP from the jump

[stabguy36]

That's a 16-bar stunt, baby! You can't survive a fall any higher.

[iwillavengeyou]

how do you grab ledges while Altair is falling?? please tell me

[stabguy36]

Step 1: Earn "Catch Ledge" ability (beginning of Memory Block 4).

Step 2: HOLD the B button (Circle on PS3) as you fall.

Altaïr will reach forward to grab a ledge. You have to aim your grab with the Left Stick if you want to grab a ledge behind you or to one side, but these circumstances are rare.

[dancer857]

Omg how could you not die from that hight at 4:39? =O Amazing 5/5

[bardofblindguardian]

wie geil ist das denn

[stabguy36]

Say what?

[bardofblindguardian]

it means fucking awesome in your language

[stabguy36]

Oh. In that case, two thumbs up!

[stabguy36]

On Xbox you get "Personal Vendetta" achievement for killing all 60 Templars. There's no reward for anything less than that.

[HGLaddict]

nice one on 4:40-4:50

i wanna learn to b like u :]

aniways what rewards will u get if u kill a number of templars? or must u kill all the 60 templars b4 getting anything?

[n00bofdestiny]

lol "grim indeed"

[tomjunowak]

wow. very creative. best assassin's creed vid i've seen.

[Jaegermeister42]

how do you stab the target in the neck

[stabguy36]

You mean air to assassinate? Watch 2:18 - 3:15 of my video "12 Ways to Wield the Hidden Blade":

watch?v=dld6TArd5Zg

Click the link in the description for a thorough guide. I killed the archers at 1:20, 1:43 and 2:07 with high profile airs. The archer at 2:36 and William (3:35 and 5:26) were running airs.

If you mean the stunt assassination, that's just a jump followed by a high profile rear assassination (0:57 - 1:10 in "12 Ways" video).

[watareulookingat123]

that stunt assassination was awesome, but it freaking took over half your life! you were lucky you got your ass out of there before the guards killed you.

[stabguy36]

Losing health is the whole point of stunt assassinations - the more the better! It hurts being a stuntman...

Don't worry. You get all of your health back when you emerge from the Memory Corridor for the escape.

[Mikidy]

grim indeed :D lol

[1001Human]

Very nice.

[DamuEmran]

I never did a fancy assassination of Robert. I just did right in his back. No flair maybe the next time i do it i should try this way.

[bobvanka]

very well done. very awesome stunt assassination and the hay jump lol. i swear u missed hahaha 5/5

[cmwissy]

how did you have full synchronization at that block

cos in my 360 version after you complete the game you go back to the certain timeframe with the sync you had t that time

[stabguy36]

Start a new game. The second time through you will start with 11 to 14 bars of health. The third time through you will start with a full 20 bars. That's because you earn one bonus bar for every 15 View Points or Save Citizens. These bonus bars carry over from one playthrough to the next.

This video was recorded on an Xbox 360.

[cmwissy]

thanks :P

[AshleyJamez]

The stunt assassination was amazing, as I type this, i'm running from the guards out f the Citadel! Thanks for the help.

[stabguy36]

Thanks! Click on the video response to see more stunt assassinations (spoiler alert: two are from Memory Block 5).

[eviluglyman]

I cant do that jump and assassinate move

I only managed to do it twice succesfully

the other times the soldiers just moved out the way

how do you do it?

[stabguy36]

I wrote a guide on how to do it. Google "air to assassinate guide" and scroll down. My next video will include a tutorial. It will be published this week.

[stabguy36]

My video tutorial of air to assassinate and other Hidden Blade techniques has been published. It's called "12 Ways to Wield the Hidden Blade" (YouTube video ID dld6TArd5Zg). The description has a direct link to the aforementioned guide.

[eviluglyman]

cool

[Altorin]

Just so you know, if you throw a knife at the archer right above his meeting room, and if the archer falls down into the room, he will dismiss his guards to look for you, and leave him all by himself... I found this out accidentally, and it could prove a really interesting point for assassinating him

[stabguy36]

Yes. He falls towards you so if you WANT his body to fall in the room, hit the archer when he's on the other leg of the L-shaped eaves, not the one Altaïr is standing on.

I prefer to kill William in front of a crowd for drama and I never use Throwing Knives, just the Hidden Blade. See ianxofour's videos for a way to remain Anonymous before and after the assassination.

[Altorin]

I stumbled on it myself so I thought I'd share it.

Great videos btw, they helped me a lot to make my second playthrough a lot more... assassin-y.. the first time, I followed the clues Ubisoft decided to give us in the level (like climbing the fountain in the Abu'l assassination)... it's kind of sad that a lot of the clues just serve to screw up your assassinations.

[BelgianGeneral]

very, very good vid!

[ianxofour]

It's so nice to see somebody play this game well on Youtube for a change!

[stabguy36]

Thanks, Ian! I watch all of your videos too.

My text walkthroughs are hosted on the assassinscreed-maps forums (see link in video description). You should join us over there and share your perspective. For example, I'd like to discuss the disappearing bodyguards glitch on Abu'l Nuqoud with you.
