01 - A Spoonful of Syrup | Syndicate Sequence 4 Walkthrough AC: Syndicate Guide
Last update: 24 February 2020
Your first objective that will become active after starting the mission will be a chase after the merchant. Run into the sewers and then chase him, bouncing from the bars to the left. The sewers are constructed in such way that you will not catch the runaway here, it will become possible once you get to the surface (the path goes through one corridor, it is impossible to get lost there). On the surface the merchant will slow down, allowing you to capture him - once you will be close enough to him, an option to tackle him will become available.
Go to the marked location on the map after obtaining the information from the escaping merchant. Use the eagle vision to find the distributor in the crowd. He will quickly get away by entering a carriage. Follow him. After stopping, the distributor will walk away in order to talk with a friend and then he will return to the carriage. The situation will repeat itself. Use this routine to hide in the crowd and wait for the return of the distributor. If you don't want to complete the side objective, then simply kill the enemy and search the body. Use the crowd to avoid being detected, it will be easier in the second place visited by the target.
The next objective is to find the distribution boss. Once you get near the factory, climb on the building from the left and use the line to enter the first floor of the next building. From there, once you walk close to the edge, you will be able to identify the distribution boss with the eagle vision (he is from time to time walking towards the arena to root the fighters).
Your objective is to capture the chief alive, which means that you must get really close. If you will be detected, the target will start running away - you can tackle him, but the kidnapping will be impossible until you regain anonymity (killing the target will end in desynchronization). A good time to kidnap the distribution boss is when he is watching the fighters. If you have used the position described above, all you need to do is jump down and sneak up on the enemy (of course, you must remain cautious, as there are other opponents near the ring and the chief himself can also notice you as you jump down if you will do it too early).
After capturing the chief you must simply take him outside. Watch out especially at the exit which is guarded by enemies. Carefully and slowly walk outside and then interrogate the kidnapped enemy.
Challenges
Steal the plan undetected - you must hide in the crowd and wait for the distributor in places he visits. When he will talk to someone or return to the carriage, sneak up on him and steal from him. Using the possibility to hide in the crowd will make it easier to remain undetected.
Remain undetected - kidnap the chief of distribution without being detected. Remember to wait for him near the ring where you can easily sneak up on him. When getting him out of the factory, do it slowly, especially when you will be bypassing other opponents.
