Coat of Arms¶
Unlocks: Sequence 02, Memory 01
A man complains that the coat he commissioned for Antoine Saint-Just, so make your way to the tailor’s workshop and speak to him. It turns out that the tailor finds something about the tanner’s goods and won’t make any coats until he is investigated.
Make your way to the search zone and approach from the north, so that you can see a balcony on the middle level facing the river with two Watchers outside. The balcony is your target, but to reach it you will need to move forward and shoot both Watchers with headshots. This will likely make the other guards aggressive, so back off until your no longer under attack. Once clear you can walk to the rope over the river that is linked to the balcony and cross to enter the building.
There are two guards on this floor and one that patrols from the floor above down the stairs and toward the window you entered. Take cover by the barrels to wait for the third guard to walk toward you for a cover kill and then Phantom Blade the other two. You can now head upstairs and kill the guard to speak to the tanner.
It turns out that the tanner was forced by Saint Just to tan human skin instead of cow skin to create his coat, so it’s time to return to Just’s valet. Before speaking to the valet it is wise to kill the two guards around him, in any manner you see fit, because once you talk to the valet he will attack you and the guards will join him. The valet is a Seeker, meaning you are going to need perfect parries or a Smoke Bomb to help with the fight.
Once defeated you can head back to the tailor to complete the mission.
Swiss Stash¶
Unlocks: Sequence 02, Memory 01
Jacques Necker was once a wealthy man, but now he is so broke he can’t get across the border. That being said, it seems that the Brotherhood believes the man is hiding some money away and your task is to steal a letter that may lead you to the cash. Approach the search zone nearby and hide behind the back of the haycart to Phantom Blade the men in the center of the area. Once clear, walk up to Necker and pickpocket him to find the location of his stashes.
The first stash to the east is on the top floor, guarded by plenty of enemies and Watchers. Start by taking out the Watchers outside with some Phantom Blades and then kill the Brute to enter the ground floor. As you take the stairs make sure that none of the guards above are walking toward the stairs before you head up and then use the hiding spot to kill the guard. Head up another set of stairs to kill the next two guards and then open the chest.
The second stash to the north on the top floor, but you’ll need to enter from the rooftop window and then take out the two enemies inside before opening the chest.
The final two stashes are actually in the same building to the west, with many enemies and only one way in. It’s best to stick a Berserk Blade in a Brute or Seeker and finish off the remaining enemies inside with Phantom Blades of Poison Gas. Once the enemies are dead you will be left with the single Watcher on the ledge with the two chests.

Head down the stairs and you’ll find more guards that you can quietly take out with Phantom Blades before getting the second verse and then repeat the process on the Brute on the ground floor, leaving the Defender alone as to not draw over guards from the courtyard, to get the final verse. You con now return to Andre to complete the mission.

This allows you to wait for the target to stand by the window for a cover kill and let you easily steal the weapon docket.
When you reach the location of the blueprints you’ll run into more opposition, but if you take the high ground and eliminate all the Watchers you can Phantom Blade or Berserk Blade the guards in the courtyard below to eliminate them rather easily.

The Watchers around the area pose the worst problem, so skirt around the area and take them out with Phantom Blades so you can get closer to the action. The best strategy from here is to distract the guards by popping a Berserk Blade into a Defender and letting him take out a majority of the guards. Once clear, hop down and open the cage to talk to the women inside.
The next set of women are all rather close together in one large building surrounded by enemies. Once again you will need to take out the Watchers before you enter the area and you can then jump through the attic window to kill a Brute and talk to the first woman.

As before, targeting a Defender with a Berserk Blade will take out a good amount of the guards and then you can pick off any of the remainders. Once cleared, enter building and talk to the final three ladies.
The final set of workers are in the middle of a crowded area with only a few guards. All can be approached by blending in with the crowds of the plaza, so sneak in and talk to each to complete the mission.

Turn left through the trees toward the scaffolding to take a lift up and shimmy around to ledge assassinate the Watcher. You can now sneak up behind the Brute and kill him to get the first document from the nearby table. Take the lift up to the roof and take cover as soon as possible to avoid being discovered and use cover kills, Berserk Blades on Seekers, and Phantom Blades to take out the rooftop enemies. You will likely need to become discovered to clean up any stragglers before you can pick up the next document.
Drop off the side of the building and take out another Watcher with a Phantom Blade and then Berserk or Phantom Blade the other thugs when they come within range to check the body. Once clear you can drop down and get the final document before you leave the area and return to Cassini.

You can now run back to the north side and climb down to steal the first document from the man watching the action.
The second document is on the topmost floor of a building covered in guards, but luckily the top floor is the least secured. Make your way to the east side of the building and climb up to the top floor to ledge assassinate a guard standing by it. You can now enter the building and head straight for the document in the next room. With both documents in hand you can return to Condorcet to complete the mission.
