This assassination is a super fast version of a previous post:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0tNR1nsPw9c

When the chaos starts, look to the right of Abu'l's balcony, and you'll find two awnings with a table in front of each of them. Climb up the vines next to the awning further from the balcony, avoiding the attention of the archers. Quietly kill the 2 archers near the awnings, and then retreat to the corner away from your target. For whatever reason, this causes Abu'l's bodyguards to abandon their posts (see note below). Run back and jump onto the balcony while Abu'l isn't looking and assassinate him.

Note: This assassination strategy relies on the bodyguards abandoning their post, but it seems to me that the bodyguards don't leave their post on the first assassination attempt. You have to fail the assassination once (by dying or letting Abu'l escape). After you reload your memory for another attempt, the bodyguards will leave the balcony when you go to the far corner, as shown in the video. Strangely, the guards try to walk through the closed gate to the balcony. Even more strange is that sometimes one or both of the bodyguards vanishes from the game at this point...

If there is one guard stuck at the gate, quietly kill him before assassinating Abu'l to remain anonymous after the blue screen. If there are two guards, you'll have to kill them after the assassination to become anonymous. Alternatively, you can try this, if you are up for a small challenge:

To escape, climb to the roof and jump down, preferably into a haystack.

This video shows how to kill Abu'l in as little as 14 seconds:

  • man ive tried stealth ass. hela times but i still cannot get it right. can someone plz explain to me how to do it

  • stabguy36 has a robust way to do it. search his vids for "Stylish Assassination: Abu'l Nuqoud"

  • his bodyguards o¡in my game dosent go out

  • did you read the video description? they only leave on a reloaded mission, not the first one. for a robust way to stealth assassination abul nuqoud, search youtube for "stylish assassination: abu'l nuqoud" by stabguy36.

  • I just did this one and something interesting happened.

    I jumped to the balcony on the right (table>yawning>balcony). The archers ignored me. I then tried to see if I could get to the beam above him but failed. His personal guard came after me but didn't expose me. I walked away from him and past the now opened door, expecting Abu'l to have fled. But, he hadn't. he was still there and happened to be facing away from me. I blend walked right up to him and assassinated him.

  • >His personal guard came after me but didn't expose me

    this is prob where your glitch started. if the bodyguard saw you, abul is supposed to start running. there are a bunch of glitches with abul. check out "Abu'l Nuqoud = Punching Bag" for something that may be related to this experience you describe.

  • @itswatevafools @gmoneyj12 so for example if your in DAMAS . your mission would be to kill Assassinate Abu'l Nuqoud . so you have climbed all the 10 viewpoints and nothing has happened right . well if u listened to the bureau leader in damas he said to go to the south and go to the richer district . put ur GPS marker on the richer middle district in the map : D. done . there will be fresh 10 new view points .
