Jerusalem
Your scheme to come is as follows:
Memory Log “Talal, a cunning slave master, has a warehouse in the northern Barbican filled with human livestock. He inspects them daily, preparing them for travel knowing exactly where his Guards are. I need simply to strike during his next inspection.”
Memory Strand 08 \ Assassination \ Talal Tip The strategies that follow enable you to easily prepare for the infiltration of the
Barbican and the assault on Talal and his men. Try any or all of these plans to assure you complete this task with skill!
Preplanning the Escape Route 01. Summon Scholars: Just south of the main entrance to the Barbican is a Scholar being pushed around by Guards, as shown previously. He should be the first to be helped. After the fight he summons four Scholars that allow you to pass without any problems into the Barbican itself. The route is shown on the guide map. 02. Gather Vigilantes: Use your Memory Map to locate the three other Save Citizen Investigations around and inside the Barbican. The one in the northeast corner (shown) is interesting, so apply the subsequent set of tactics to reach this area. When all areas are bristling with black-robed henchmen, you can use them to help halt Guards during Talal’s escape. 03. Plan Your Chase Route: When the chase begins, you have little time to remember the layout of Jerusalem, as allowing him to escape for farther than 50 meters (164 feet) ahead of you results in failure. As Talal takes different paths each time you chase him, learn where he always goes—like into the Souk as shown here—and work out an alternate route, such as Free-stepping across the ceiling beams.
The Assassination Begins The first part of this assassination requires you to enter the back door to the warehouse, located on the east side of the building inside the Barbican. There are a number of ways to enter the Barbican:
01. Barbican: Silent Entry: Move to the area where you rescued the Scholars and join them in Blended prayer, walking west then north toward the Guard Post, and then through the Saracens and up the Barbican steps.
02. Barbican: Cunning Entry: Another fine tactic is to move to the area where the Scholar resides. Instead of utilizing his brethren, climb the building behind him, up to the rooftop, and turn west (picture 1). Clamber onto the roof of the next building, and quickly Target the Archer. Move up to him, Grab him, and send him plummeting off the wooden balcony, screaming into the thoroughfare below (picture 2).
The Guards leave their Post to inspect this hapless fool’s death. This allows you to turn north and Leap across to a metal rod, flip under it, and land inside the Barbican on the main steps. You can now maneuver around the Barbican in either direction, although the ladder to the right is the preferred way.
