Introduction:
There is no difficulty in this game to worry about. It is set on a standard feeling difficulty that most people can handle.The collectibles are easy enough, as you can buy the maps for them. So there is no need for a collectibles guide. Most people reading this guide will have played other if not all Assassin Creed games. This game demands 100% Sync and completion of everything on the DNA tracker. You will literally need to do everything! Otherwise, the game is very simple besides that.They added naval missions and hunting which is new to the series and can be a nice break from doing the normal missions.

Step 1: Playing Missions
By around Sequence 9 of 12, you might finally start "playing" the game. By this I mean you may start doing all of the little missions showing up on the maps. You might start buying new gear and getting more into the game. Yes, hours and hours later, you may actually start playing what you had been used to in previous games. Like the other games, it's always a good idea to get these little missions out of the way so that your main missions are easier. You can focus on trying to 100% sync everything you do, or focus on that later once you are farther.

Step 2: Clean the Map
You must complete everything now and go replay missions to 100% Sync them. This may take up just as much time as your normal playthrough. Press to look at what needs to be done in the DNA Tracker. You can also refer to your logbook in the menu. All of these tasks and extra missions will take much longer than the story did. You should do the underground tunnels early so that you can fast travel and really save some time. It's also worth it to start figuring out the money/convoy system so that you can buy the maps for feathers and other collectibles. This way, as you run doing the missions you can pick them up. There are a few missions that are exceptionally hard or luck based, so just keep at them or look through the various threads for some help.

Step 3: Multiplayer
There are only a handful of achievements here, but one of them is to get to level 20. Play and get used to the game and as you get better, you should gain more points. This is pretty straight forward. Use the achievement trading thread if you would like to help/get helped.

Step 4: Battle Hardened
Put in Disc 2 for multiplayer. These achievements are all multiplayer based, though for 2 of them you can play offline. Press to get to where a list has "extra content". If you have purchased the Season Pass, you may download it for free from this menu. Do not buy it from the Marketplace or else you will be charged again.You can boost the achievements in private matches if you'd like.

Tyranny of King Washington: Infamy
Step 5:
A single playthrough of the story will unlock both Uniquely Familiar and West Point Payback. Both of these are story related and cannot be missed. A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing will most likely be obtained before you complete the story as well. Once you obtain the Wolf Cloak ability at the end of Sequence 3, it is suggested that any enemies you encounter in the frontier be eliminated while using this ability. You must kill a total of 25 enemy guards for the achievement, but many have confirmed it is glitchy and may require even more than 25 kills. Frontiersman will be the last achievement you unlock within the DLC. It will be quite time consuming due to the following requirements:

100% synchronizing all 6 Sequences (see below)
Completion of 3 Side Quests (5 Each)
Locating all 3 Lucid Memory Artifacts
Tyranny of King Washington: Betrayal
Step 6:
A single playthrough of the story will unlock Blindsided. You will obtain this achievement when you defeat General Putnam in the last Sequence. You will need to make use of the new Eagle Flight ability in order to unlock Frequent Flyer. This achievement tasks you with traveling a total of 1km with the new ability. You can easily work on this during the second Sequence when you receive the ability. In order to use this ability, you must target a safe landing zone (a white winged icon will appear above in-reach landing areas) and press to fly there. The New Tea Partywill be the last achievement you unlock within the DLC. It will be a little time consuming due to the following requirements:
100% synchronizing all 9 Sequences (See Below - [Sequences 3, 7, & 8 Provide Video Walkthroughs])
Completion of 4 Side Quests (see below)
Locating all 3 Lucid Memory Artifacts
Tryanny of King Washington: Redemption
Step 7:
A single playthrough of the story will unlock First in the Hearts. You will obtain this achievement during the last Sequence when you defeat George Washington. During Sequence 2, you will obtain the new Bear Might ability. You must utilize this ability to kill a total of 125 guards during your playthrough for Aftershock. You can easily knock this achievement out of the way during Sequence 2 itself, or during your playthrough of the story while traveling through New York. Like Wolf Cloak and Eagle Flight, Bear Might drains your health so be cautious when using it in battle.

If I Can Make It There:
This will be the last achievement you unlock within the DLC. It will involve some dedication and patience due to the following requirements:
100% synchronization of all 8 Sequences (see below - [Sequences 4, 6, & 7 Provide Video Walkthroughs])
Completion of 4 Side Quests (see below)
Locating 3 Lucid Memory Artifacts
Conclusion:
If you've played previous Assassin Creed games, you will know that the game can take a lot of time and dedication. There is a lot of repetitive gameplay and the collectibles can seem tedious. If you have never played Assassin's Creed and this is your first one, you may feel overwhelmed at times. | Perfectionist | 50 | | Complete 100% of all main mission constraints. | (80) | Play all 12 sequences, gaining 100% sync on all of them. You must do all optional tasks and not fail them. There are 2 ways to do this.1) Immediately reload checkpoint if failed during initial playthrough of each mission. If you exit, the game will remember which checkpoint you are on and there is no need to restart anything.2) Replay the memory through the Animus memory sequence menu. If you fail the mission here, you will have to restart the entire memory. There is no option to restart from checkpoint.

For a more in depth guide, view the 100% Sync Guide. |

| An Extraordinary Man | 10 | | Complete the Encyclopedia of the Common Man. | (181) | You must analyze all inhabitants of the Homestead. Press and go to your logbook. In Building The Homestead, you will see your stats. You must complete Homestead missions to recruit all of the inhabitants. There are quite a few and this will take a very long time. If you aren't seeing Homestead missions, try progressing in the game a little bit farther. To analyze them, hold with the target on them. If they are not doing an activity to be recorded, it will say "invalid target". If they are, it will be recorded. Check the guide below for more specific details. Each character does a variety of tasks related to their work. You need to witness/record multiple different tasks for each. The tracking on this is a bit buggy. Check the guide below for more information and remember, patience is a virtue. You will have to do some serious stalking to witness everything you need.

*Encyclopedia of the Common Man Guide* PATCH UPDATE:This achievement has been patched and is no longer an issue. If you were a victim of the glitch, you can now download the patch and when the game starts up, you will get your achievement. | | Patent Not Pending | 10 | | Craft one of Franklin's inventions to decorate your Manor. | (33) | To get the ability to craft one Franklin's inventions, you must collect his almanac pages and you will get the "recipes" for them. You then must have the supplies and the correct "craftsman" for the job. It's best to attempt this achievement after you have completed all Homestead missions so that everyone is leveled up and you have access to all supplies. After doing all of this, you just have to use the Accounting Book. Inside the front door the the manor, look left and you'll see a book in a room that lets you craft. These books are also in all of the general shops.

Note: You must craft all of his recipes anyways for the 100% DNA Tracker. | | | | | | | | | | | A Complete Set | 20 | | See all the optional characters settled at the Homestead. | (23) | As you progress in the game, you will start unlocking characters for your Homestead. These are all Homestead missions and you will get this along the way of completing them.

List of CharactersBig DaveGodfrey & TerryLanceWarren & PrudenceNorrisLyle WhiteEllenMyriamFather TimothyOliver and Corrine | | Original Gamer | 20 | | Win a game of Fanorona, Morris and Bowls on the Homestead. | (177) | There are a total of 3 little mini games you can play in this game. Once you have your Homestead built up, you will be able to play them there as well.

Fanorona: You find this game inside of the Manor at the Homestead. To win this game, you must capture all of the opponents pieces. You must move a piece away or towards the opposite color. When one is taken all of the ones in a straight line from it will get removed. Pick to move second. This is on Expert difficulty automatically, so don't expect to have an easy time here. Sometimes the AI will make a move that ends up removing a ton of your pieces with a combo. If it looks like you're going to lose, you probably will. Use the quit out method to try again. If you can manage a combo or two yourself then you stand a decent chance. Let the AI go first, and try to follow the below video. If it isn't doing the same moves, quit and try again. This might be your best shot at getting this won.

Bowls: Travel South of the Manor to the little town and right near the inn is an outside game. This game is Intermediate difficulty (phew). One player throws the main ball on the ground, then each players gets 4 balls to try and get as close as they can to the main one. You throw until you are closest. Whoever ends with the most balls closest to the main, wins. Try to make the blue circle as small as you can when throwing. If it's possible, knock an opponents ball away while also making yours closer. This is the easiest of the 3 games but it might take some getting used to before you win. There are 2 rounds to win.

Morris: Right next to Bawls is the Inn and a tavern. Inside is the game. Here you must place pieces and create 3 in a line to take away an opponents piece. It's usually best to start and place your pieces in two corners. After you run out of pieces (after placing them), you must move your current ones. At 3 pieces left you can move them anywhere on the board. This game is also very difficult and on Expert when you play it at the Homestead. Watch the video below as a reference. This may take several attempts.

Note: Keep in mind, you must bet and win 500 total for a thieves guild challenge. | | Bring Down the House | 20 | | Explore Fort Wolcott. | (12) | To visit Fort Wolcott you have to do the first part of the "Peg Leg" side mission. The quest giver can be found at the harbor of the Homestead area. He wants you to find trinkets scattered around the Frontier, Boston, New York, and the Homestead. You can buy a map for these at any general store to make it easier. You only have to find 12 to be given the location to Fort Wolcott. Go to the Harbormaster and go to the Fort. This is the first part of Kidd's Treasure quest. Complete the fort and make sure you do the optional quests as well. | | Kidd Gloves | 30 | | Uncover the mystery of Oak Island. | (30) | To visit Oak Island you have to find all 24 Peg Leg Trinkets and finish all parts of the "Peg Leg" side mission explained in the "Bring Down the House" achievement description. This is just finishing the Kidd's Treasure quest. This is the last location of the quest that you must complete. After you are done, the achievement will unlock (uncovering the mystery is just doing the quest, nothing special on your part). | | All Washed Up | 40 | | Complete all Naval Missions aboard the Aquila. | (11) | At the Harbormaster, you will be given the various missions for the Aquila which are sea warfare based missions. Complete them all for the achievement. This can only be started after sequence 5. Check your DNA Tracker on "The Aquila" tab to see how much percent you have completed if you are wondering how far you are. The icon below is what a naval mission looks like on the map at the Harbormaster. | | Entrepreneur, not Pirate! | 20 | | | Complete all 12 Privateer Contracts. | (26) | | Once you have access to the Aquila, via the Harbormaster, you will be taken into a map of the East Coast near the Atlantic Ocean. There are icons that are various missions. The ones that look like a ship's helm (the steering wheel essentially). Complete them all for the achievement. You need to do these for the 100% DNA Tracker. The below icon is what you're looking for. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In Good Standing | 30 | | Complete all challenges for any of the Clubs. | (60) | You get invited to clubs as play through the game. The clubs are Boston Brawlers, The Hunting Society, Thieves, and The Frontiersmen. There are 3 sets of challenges for each club. To see the challenges in the next list, you must complete the set before it. Luckily the game keeps track of all of your stats. It is very likely that by the time you finish challenge set 1, you will have at least 75% or more of the next set already accomplished. These tasks are generally extremely easy (except a few which are hard). | | | | | | | | | | | Monopoly Man | 10 | | | Send a convoy to Boston, New York and the Frontier. | (23) | | Sending a convoy is a way to make money. You must send one to each area described in the description. This will become easier to do as you gain supplies and build up your homestead. You must also have accessed at least 1 general store in each area. When in the convoy menu (accessed from the Accounting Book found in the manor or general stores), you need to press down on the analogue stick to pick a different area's store. | | | | | | | | | Completionist | 50 | | | Complete ALL progress tracker grid entries. | (173) | | Press and look at your animus DNA Tracker. Below is the list you can look at to make sure it's all done. There are a total of 17070 points on the tracker and you must get all of them. You pretty much have to do everything in the game!

Please visit THIS THREAD for a guide on the Club Challenges.

Sequences - Main story (Must get 100% sync in call optional objectives)
Clubs - You must get all clubs completely done (all challenges/missions)
Side Missions - This covers all liberation missions
Discovery - All almanacs, chests, feathers, trinkets, forts, underground, and citizen missions
Naval - All naval missions, privateer contracts, as well as the Captain Kidd's quest
Homestead - All characters, missions, and crafting all inventions | | Spit Roast | 20 | | Perform a double assassination using a musket. | (33) | The musket is found throughout the game on guards or on a gun rack. To get a double assassination, go behind two guards and chain an assassination between them both. You cannot get a double assassination like you can with your hidden blade, they must be chained. | | Circus Act | 10 | | Kill 15 guards with a single cannon shot. | (19) | This can be done during DNA Sequence 10 - Memory 3 (Battle of Monmouth). Right after the sequence starts you will be in control of a cannon and have to fight off some enemies. Aim slightly to the left and as far back as you can. Shoot into the approaching group of soldiers and you should get the 15 kills on your first shot. If you miss the shot you can either restart the checkpoint or wait for another group of soldiers. | | Predator | 10 | | Hang 5 enemies by using rope darts. | (28) | Rope darts are a type of tool you can select within the menu. To hang an enemy, you must be on a tree branch. Hold and the dart will grab the enemy. Keep holding, and eventually you will drag him up in the air. Now move your and you will fall and he will raise up, hanging. This will use one of your darts out of your inventory. You can reload checkpoints if you are within a mission and found a good spot. | | Prince of Thieves | 10 | | Loot a convoy without killing any of its guards. | (58) | A convoy is a horse-drawn carriage that is guarded by soldiers. They come in by themselves or in pairs and when nearby, the game will notify you to attack it. They can only be found in the Frontier area. There are fixed spawn points for them, but they can also appear randomly at any daytime and weather condition. One of these convoys has a 50% spawn chance in front of the Templar Fort that is located in the south-western corner of the map. There is a harbor nearby that can be used as a fast travel station. If the convoy doesn't spawn you can travel to another map and return later. To actually loot the convoy without killing anyone you just have to use your fists instead of lethal weapons. This will knock your enemies out and not kill them. You can also use smoke bombs to stun the soldiers and finish them more quickly. Once all guards are defeated you have to interact with the back of the carriage to steal the supplies/money. If there are two of them and sometimes one will glitch and you cannot steal from it. If this happens you will need to try again later. | | | | | | | | | Jager Bomb | 20 | | After becoming fully Notorious, kill 10 Jagers before losing your notoriety. | (36) | After becoming fully Notorious (three X's to the right of your mini map), you will start to see the Jager enemies. They are actually a lot more difficult to fight than the other enemies in the game. A good place to do this is at the end of DNA Sequence 5 - Memory 2. Memories can be replayed by going to the "DNA Tracker" menu in the pause screen. You will have to climb to a rooftop and after a cutscene you will automatically get full notoriety. There will be lots of Jagers on the streets then. You must kill all 10 to get the achievement in one go. | | | | | | | | | Coureur des Bois | 10 | | Exchange undamaged pelts at all different general stores. | (36) | To get an undamaged pelt, you must kill an enemy while your "first" icon in your weapons is active. This usually involves punching the animal if you are running around carelessly spamming the button. You then trade the pelts that are in perfect condition as indicated by the description. You must sell at least 1 of any animal pelt to every general store. There are a total of 3 stores in each area (3 stores, 3 areas, 9 total). You have to get close enough to the door for it to show up on your map. Use the below list to check the stores you have sold perfect pelts too. There is no other way to see which store you sold one too. It is up to you to keep track of this.

There are now new "main missions" that appear which are the epilogue missions. After completing them, you will gain the achievement and will be able to continue on finishing whatever is left for your DNA tracker. All it really is is traveling to the main missions points, no actual objectives are involved.ONLINE | | Abstergo Entertainment | 10 | | | Reach level 20 in the multiplayer mode. | (72) | | Battle your way through multiplayer mode in order to gain the level 20. Play team based games or go solo, whatever you are best at and are getting the most points in. If you hate multiplayer or want to save time, you can use the achievement trading thread to try and match up with people to "boost". If you are frustrated with multiplayer, you can play Wolfpack mode to gain experience playing by yourself or with other people.

Post in THIS THREAD to find people. | | Hunter/Killer | 20 | | | Reach sequence 10 in a map on Wolfpack multiplayer mode. | (56) | | Wolfpack is more like a co-op mode. You work together with people to take down enemies. There are a total of 25 sequences you can complete in this mode, but you will only have to reach the 10th for the achievement. This is actually extremely easy to do if you just keep assassinating enemies quickly and grabbing the "time assassinations" when possible. It works well if there are 2 people in the game to perform double assassinations for more points. You can easily get this achievement in under 10 minutes. If you want to find people to help out, you can post in the achievement trading thread.

Note: This mode can be done offline in "limited mode". You can still gain this achievement by yourself even if you don't have an internet connection.

Post in THIS THREAD to find people. | | Winning Team | 20 | | Be on the winning team at the end of a multiplayer game session. | (20) | This is a team game type based achievement, and you just have to be on the winning team or even a "draw" which still counts (fairly common in artifact mode). You may boost this even in a private session with other players if you want. To do so, just visit the achievement trading thread below.

Post in THIS THREAD to find people. | | Personalized | 10 | | | Customize your multiplayer Profile and Character. | (18) | | Go into the customization options after gaining enough money to purchase a customization and apply it to your character. You cannot just customize your emblem/title, you must actually purchase something to customize your character and change it. When in multiplayer mode, use and to select the tab to customize. The white "money" icon means in game credits you have earned playing. The gold "money" icon represents a different type of currency. If you really want an item and can't wait to get it, you may choose that type which translates into real money based off of Microsoft points. | | The Truth Will Out | 20 | | Unlock a hacked version of one of the Abstergo videos in the story quest. | (37) | This has been unlocking normally from challenges done in multiplayer mode, and you may get it without even trying. Find the Abstergo Story option in the menu. You will see various square pictures with blue icons below. Those icons represent challenges. Highlight the second set called Abstergo Dev Diary 1_Hack. You must complete two challenges to unlock it. Highlight the blue icons and see your progress. You need to earn a Multi Kill Bonus in any Team Mode or Wolfpack. This is easily done in Wolfpack with a second person, as both targets stand next to each other. The other challenge is to get Aerial Kill Bonus (20 total). After you get both challenges completed, you will unlock the video and the achievement will unlock without you having to actually view the video. | | Head in the Cloud | 20 | | Find all pivots and sync the Animus to the Cloud. | (96) | After you complete the main story and the credits have rolled, you can get back to your adventure. This achievement requires you to be online for it to work. Hit and you will see a new icon above the regular map. It will give you a short tutorial on how things work. Basically, there are things called pivots that are cheats you can find. They look like the picture below.On the map in the new icon area, you can place your own pivots. When you place two of them, part of the map shows green. This means a pivot you do not have is somewhere within. To narrow down your search, place a 3rd pivot somewhere in the green. A good tactic is to guess somewhere in the middle and place your pivot. When you get a green triangle, go in the middle, remove another pivot, and place one in that spot (you can only place pivots on yourself).It does take some getting used to but after one or two you will get the hang of it and it's extremely easy. You can knock this achievement out in an hour or so. There are a total of 10 pivots. Once you have obtained them all, pull the menu up and go into the pivot sub menu and things will sync and the achievement will unlock. | DLC: Battle Hardened Pack | Price: $9.99 USD Achievements: 4 Points: 100 | | | | | | One for All | 25 | | With any of the additional characters, perform 20 ‘Revive’ actions. | (205) | There are 3 new characters you get with this DLC.The Influential GovernorThe Resilient HighlanderThe Fearsome Coyote ManAs one of the new characters, you must revive a team mate. See the above picture to see what they look like. You can only do this in team based games, obviously. When one of your team members are stunned, go up and press the prompt to revive them. This is when they have a green cross icon above their heads. If you don't, they will eventually revive on their own.

Non-Boosting Method: Follow your team mates around and don't really help except to revive them if they get stunned. Even if it means you will likely get stunned after, it's worth getting one or two. | | A New Challenger Appears | 25 | | | Finish a multiplayer game session with each of the additional characters. | (10) | | This will take a total of at least 3 sessions. Play as each of the below new characters:The Influential GovernorThe Resilient HighlanderThe Fearsome Coyote ManThis can be done in any mode, and solo in Wolfpack if you want. Just choose one of the 3 characters included in the DLC and play one session. You cannot quit out early. If you aren't unlocking it, you may want to recheck the characters you picked. Some of them look similar. If doing Wolfpack, enter the session and just let the time run out. | | Stubborn Stunner | 25 | | | Stun 3 pursuers without dying, playing with any of the additional characters. | (15) | | Choose any of the 3 new characters added in this DLC.The Influential GovernorThe Resilient HighlanderThe Fearsome Coyote ManYou have to stun 3 enemies. When you are a "target", there will be people after you. When you find someone acting suspicious or obvious, quickly press to stun them. If they have also pressed the button you will get an honorable death instead. When you stun them, run off. It's best done in a team based game. Keep knives with you. If you see an enemy get stunned, you can quickly throw knives at him when he stands back up and stun him. This will be the harder of the achievements. Boosting would be your quick option here.

Non-Boosting Method: Your best bet is abilities. Assuming you are level 20 you should have a good amount to choose from. For example, place a trip mine at your feet and stand in a crowd. When it goes off stun and run. You can also use knives if you think you know your attacker before he gets to you. If on a team, sometimes you will get lucky and the attackers will be killing a team mate right by you and you can get a stun in. Chain it if you can with other enemy players or by using traps like a smoke bomb.

Training Method: Play the Training simulator from the menu (disc 2 only). Play until you get to 6/7 and you will need to stun a pursuer. During 7/7, you will stun again. You will get a notification to continue or to replay. Choose to replay and you will get the chance to stun a third time. This will unlock the achievement and is very easy.

Alternate Training Method: Play Introductory Session 3 which starts you off stunning people. Will be faster than any other method. | | Wolves for Lambs | 25 | | | Complete a Wolfpack multiplayer session on any of the additional maps. | (133) | | There are 3 new maps in this DLC. Just play a session on any of them. You must pick the game category Wolfpack and make sure it says Extra Content Maps. You must complete the map by doing all 25 sequences. As you get kills and points, you will get to the next sequence. There is no stopping and there is a timer. You must compete each kill as fast as you can but trying to gain a lot of points. The more people you have the easier it should be since you can get kills at the same time which gives you bonuses.

Even with 4 people, getting this complete could take 25-30 minutes to complete. It helps if everyone tries to get high point kills (not running in and killing everything when it appears). This means target with then hold it down to focus, waiting for incognito to appear on your upper right status, then killing.

Note: If searching for random open games, you have the possibility of entering a game session already in progress. If you're lucky, you may end up on a team that's already near the end.
