Last update: 17 April 2019
Difficulty: 4/5
Your objective is to get rid of La Touche who's performing an execution in Versailles. The area of the execution is small, but full of guards. Luckily, all of them are inside, so you can plan your attack.
Firstly, get rid of the snipers. All of them are on balconies of building that surround the square. Just enter the building, sneak up on the sniper and perform a cover kill. Walk around the square and get rid of all the snipers, because it will make the task much easier.
There are two opportunities in this memory. Assistance opportunity requires sneaking up to a food storage. A large crowd will gather to hide your actions. Apart from that, the restricted area gets smaller and it only encompasses the scaffolds, which makes it easier to hide from the opponents.
Assassination opportunity requires approaching the cage where prisoners are waiting to be beheaded. You'll find out that you have to steal a key from one of the guards. You may kill him and search the corpse as well.
After you get the key, walk up to the cage. Arno will open it and get inside. After a short cut scene, he'll be taken out. Start walking towards the guillotine. Nobody will attack you until Le Touche notices who you are. Run towards him and stab him with the hidden blade. If you weren't waiting for too long, you'll do it without alarming the guards.
Both opportunities are worth using because they will let you get closer to Le Touche.
Throw a smoke bomb and start running. There are to many enemies near the guillotine for you to defeat. If you have killed the snipers, the escape will be easier. Run away while throwing smoke bombs, then become anonymous.
There are no alarm bells in this area, don't worry about reinforcements.
For 100 percent synchronization, perform four cover kills. It's an easy task, because that's how you'll get rid of the snipers. The second challenge requires three headshots. There are too many enemies in the restricted area. You might want to attract them away from the guillotine. You can use this situation, among others, to complete the challenge.
For completing this memory you'll get 3 sync points and Master Sans-Culottes Bracers.
The last portal will appear. Get inside.
