Assassin's Creed 3 Walkthrough

By Matthew Rorie

Our guide for Assassin's Creed III will prepare you for dismantling the Red Coats' forces, detailing each sequence and optional objective along the way.

SEQUENCE SEVEN

7.1: Paul Revere’s Ride

Optional Objectives:

  • Do not trigger open conflict.
  • Reach Prescott’s location within two minutes.

So here’s a bit of revisionist history for you! Rather than Revere riding on his lonesome, he’ll be relying on Connor to help him navigate through the back woods of Massachusetts. This is a fairly simple mission, so long as you stay away from patrolling bands of Redcoats. Look for them on your minimap and head off-road and into the woods if they get close.

Ride through this copse of trees near the end of the mission to escape unscathed.

You need to find three houses here. Revere will guide you to a few small villages, and you’ll have to walk up to the lit doorways in order to find the one that you need to knock on. In the first town, the house you want is the one that the Redcoats are standing in front of; wait for them to walk off before approaching it. Note that Revere is not particularly stealthy, so stay far away from the Brits here, lest they spot him. In the second, look for the house near where Troy’s mission is given, or simply head to the one furthest from where you entered the village.

The third house contains a trap for you, so be ready to run. Even getting away from the Redcoats is difficult, as they’ll shoot your horse out from under you and proceed to kill Revere fairly quickly. Attempting to run away in the direction you’re initially pointed in will quickly end your ride. Instead, turn about 45 degrees to the right when you regain control of Connor and head up the hill through a copse of thin white trees. If you’re quick about it, you should be able to get up the hill before open combat starts, from which point it’s a relatively simple matter to stay in the woods until you reach your destination.

7.2 Lexington And Concord

Optional Objectives:

  • Kill seven groups of regulars with a single order.
  • Rescue one civilian hostage.

Mount the horse near where you begin the mission and get a-ridin’. It’s a three minute ride to Concord, and you should have plenty of time to get there, although there is an optional detour in the form of a prisoner rescue in one of the villages along the way. Look for the red dot on your HUD and ride over to find a few British soldiers escorting their prisoners. Use poison or your gun on their captain, then quickly dispatch the remainder before resuming your journey.

Ride your horse back and forth along the line, issuing the command to fire as often as you can.

With that done, you’ll take up the command of the line of troops defending Lexington. Your optional goal here is to dispatch groups of British troops with a single volley from the soldiers under your command, but it seems as though almost every shot you issue will have that result, so you shouldn’t have to worry too much about it. The Brits will be coming en masse, though, so you’ll have to order your men to fire as quickly as you can. They won’t shoot until you give the order, so the bulk of the mission will see you simply riding on horseback along the line from one end to the other. You don’t have to stop to give the firing order; simply ride through the command circle and mash the button as quickly as you can while riding along. If you’re quick about it, the Brits will be eliminated before you run out of reinforcements. If the Brits break through, you’ll have to get your hands dirty.

I'm still having trouble with snitches.  I used the smoke bombs - but there is still only one snitch present.  There are two during the alley running scene.  But only one during the fight scene.

Is this a specific PC Version bug?  Is anyone using a console having the same problem?

musicallie44
musicallie44

I looked at several YouTube videos - but they all failed the snitch requirement despite having "Full Synch" in their video title. *rolls eyes*

I've reported the bug to Ubisoft's main site.  Hopefully the next patch will see this resolved.

 

Still - this is a wonderful walk-through.  I didn't even think to use smoke bombs at first.

Found out the hard way that you don't have to eliminate all of the guards on the ship w/ the 2 officers. The optional objectives are granted once the 2 ships are blown, not once the flag's up. Kill the 2 officers w/ ledge grabs (unarmed seems quieter but maybe it's just in my head) and the 2 nearest the kegs w/ the hidden blade (slow walk, tap the crap outta X and bail. Double assassinations seem to get you caught too quickly). The ship w/ the grenadier is a different story but I found it easy to kill the 3 lone guards from a ledge then hidden blade the couple at the bow. It's funny when you place the flag on the grenadier's ship. You'll be atop the other during the cutscene.

How are you supposed to do the Homestead missions for sequence 8?  It's all one long mission.

 @saudgamermalik Yes, there are two missions you can do to wrap the story up concerning Conner's tribe and what happens to the British.

For the second ship all you have to do is take out the patroling guard and the you can just run up and set the charge.  You just have to be aware of the guard thats alone at the end. I just tried it after failing to do it the other way several times. I just tried it as a joke and it worked.

I saw on one of the recent post about my question and I've done a lot of liberation missions I've got on person about 

90% on my side but now I can't find him or any body else's missions what do I do to finish them.

 

Titan721

 @sman81  Keep running around and getting his/her three goals. Even if you do all the viewpoints, some portions of the map will still be hidden. Which I'll be quite honest, is annoying as hell because stuff like this. I went through the story with only 4 recruits because of this same reason and after going back and running around some more, found and completed the goals to get the other 2.

Can't recruit all the assassins.. Boston North and NY North, the lass outside a house and the dark dude by the bar. Yeh, I can't recruit either of them and I think it's a bug, because I've done 3/3/3 (if that makes sense) missions for both of them and they just stand there unresponsive and are not prompting the final recruitment mission. Am I missing something? If anyone has the answer to this I'll......pray for you or something

 @SteelPenguin90 As Gianna earlie wrote your sure that you finished all the missions? If not check the missions info either the side missions entry or the animus to see if your really finished. I did'nt know that there was three missions in NY so I at first thought they were bugged since they did'nt show up on the map then I spotted one. Also when the Npcs dont respond to interaction which seem to happen alot. I have to either restart the game or a spot earlier like a replaying a mission before the error. If that dont work I dont know how to help you I do know that when all the NY North missions are done she stop leaning on the house and moves a bit away from there to just stand around. Also not sure who the black dude your talking about is since all the recruits are white. Pretty sure though that all the recruits who were in a bar had a cut scene starting the second I entered the bar when all the missions for it was done

 @Tobajas Sorry not a black dude, a dude in black, he's wearing black clothes and a hat on his back. It does say the district is liberated on the map, so I thought it might be the forts, so I dominated them, collected all the chests and paper, saved the starving children, killed the debt collectors, and was it protect farmers? Literally wiped the district clean. I think I might have to restart the sequence :- / 

SteelPenguin90
SteelPenguin90

 @Tobajas focusing on the NY one, I'm trying to get that done which is why I was talking about that one ^^ lol

GianniBR
GianniBR

 @SteelPenguin90 Well, usually there are liberation missions that DON'T appear in the map so you need to find them wandering random. Really, I've passed through this =/

SteelPenguin90
SteelPenguin90

 @GianniBR No, that's not what I mean. I have looked around the streets, I have found the liberation missions, I have done the liberation missions, and nothing happens. Really, I'm not an idiot "/

SteelPenguin90
SteelPenguin90

 @prime091474  @GianniBR @Tobajas Sorted! I don't know why but after I talked to a man about his family back home in England, I re-entered and then the cutscene triggered and I unlocked him. In NY North I did one of the protect the farmer missions, which I found by "colouring in" the map by exploring, although before I did that mission it did say 3/3 on the animus, and still said 3/3 afterwards but let me continue. After that I decided to finish the game, and I did. Wow.

prime091474
prime091474

 @SteelPenguin90  @GianniBR you should check the log in the menu if you still have pending missions you haven't finished... I had the same problem but the female assassin will eventually appear in the map once you've completed all the northern NY missions

prime091474
prime091474

 @SteelPenguin90  @GianniBR you have to search the whole area, there aren't any viewpoints that can cover the entire map so you have to go look for those liberation actions

SteelPenguin90
SteelPenguin90

 @GianniBR Thanks anyway :) Sorry, been a bit arsey today dno what's wrong with me. Still not found out how though

GianniBR

 @SteelPenguin90 Oh, well, it happened to me once, thought it may have been the same to you. But ok, I've tried to help.

how can I recruit more assassins? A whole game I had one assassin in my guild.

Tobajas
Tobajas

 @Hitman9 You have to do liberation missions for the different districts in the two towns then when the missions are finished for a district you get a district liberation mission which when finished grants you a new assassin and a new assassin call skill.

if anyone is wondering what to do for recruiting assassins, its a lot different then Rev. or Brotherhood. You need to find the Liberation missions. there are usually 3 different tasks for several different people. EX: a doctor trying to fix the smallpox epidemic needs you to rescue 3 people (usually lying down some where) and bring them to him, kill 3 rabid dogs, and burn 3 piles of smallpox infested blankets. after you do all that you go back to him and talk to him, to then protect him from an ambush. after completing that, he then joins your side as your apprentice.  so keep looking for those liberation mission symbols and the more you do,  the more guys will join you. they made it much more personal for the recruits this time around for some reason, instead of just saving them and have them owe you their life. but there you go. also with almost every guy you add, there is a perk added to your recruit skills. whether it be starting a riot or having them disguise themselves. its definitely worth doing several missions to have more then one assassin recruit with you.

 @slipknotmaggot1 are these areas just not marked on the map because I'll find a liberation mission but no objectives are marked?....

slipknotmaggot1
slipknotmaggot1

 @Baroni88 when you look on your map and see the free masons symbol, that is where you need to go to start  the mission. the objectives won't show up until you get right up to what you need to do. EX: in one case you need to stop a firing squad from killing innocent people. as you are walking up to them they will all highlight  a red dot above them making them a special kill objective for you. kill the 4 or 5 guys and then the top left of the screen will show that you have completed 1/3. not every liberation mission is the same though, like i said, there are 3 missions of the same objective, but several different objections for the recruit. most of them aren't to hard to figure out. as soon as you get to the marker, look for guys with the red dot above their heads and kill them.. sometimes the dot will be yellow, and that just means interrogate. they can't die, so don't worry about killing them. but you can only interrogate them once you have killed all the other redcoats around you. hope that helps a little.
