01 - Cat and Mouse | Karl Marx Memories AC: Syndicate Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
Your objective is to kill four spies that are following Marx. The easiest way to do it is with the hidden blade or by throwing a knife. However, if you want to complete the side objective, look around for the platforms with barrels hanging above the ground. Throwing them at enemy heads might be troublesome, especially if you miss - then the spies will raise alarm. You don't need to worry about Marx's health, the policemen will not make any trouble when they will see your assassination as well. It might be easier to throw the platform if you will do it from a building - make sure that the enemy is inside the highlighted circle representing the range.
Follow Marx after eliminating the spies, then go to the bar he points you to. There use the help of the Rooks and point them at the enemies standing on the other side. Provoking a fight will lure the spy and the policemen outside. Wait until the battle ends and, if needed, kill the spy (if he survives). Then follow Marx again to the meeting point.
Finally, you must kidnap the traitor. Kill the policemen escorting him, then kidnap the target and deliver him to the marked location. Talk with Marx and the mission will end.
Challenges
Kill the spies with hanging barrels - to kill the spies with the barrels, you must throw them on their heads. You can do it in few places. The hardest part of this action is finding the right time of action, when the enemy is walking precisely under the platform. It will be easier to kill the second and third or fourth spy with this method. As for the first spy, don't follow Marx, but get to the roof of the nearby roof. Between them there's a platform which from here you should be able to drop perfectly at the target.
Provoke a battle in front of the pub in order to lure the spy - use the Rooks to provoke a battle with bandits in front of the pub.
