Reward: 25000 Livres

Get to the marked area and use the Eagle Vision. You will find Napoleon and Josephine surrounded by lots of guards. Approach them. After a while they start to walk.

Napoleon does not pay attention to any noise, even the loudest, and patiently waits for you to clear the way. After you have killed the opponents, he will continue walking. After a longer and devoid of dangers, walk, Josephine bids Napoleon goodbye and they part.

Paris stories - Signaling Officer Murat

Difficulty level: 5/5

Reward: 10000 Livres

Your task is to sabotage two cannons. They are in a restricted area and are guarded by lots of extremists. What is even worse, around, there are numerous guards, including patrols around the city. f they spot you attacking the extremists, they will come to their aid. For this reason, a direct attack on the cannons is not an option. At the beginning, at least.

The first thing that you need to do is clear the rooftops of the snipers. There are lots of them there and they have a good view on the cannons. After you deal with them, start eliminating the rest of the opponents. You can use berserker blades and eliminate some of the enemies, in the ensuing commotion. You can use poison gas bombs to deal with large groups of opponents, or cherry bombs to distract them. You can also shoot at the first one to come along and start escaping from the chasing party. With a bit of luck, you will reach the guards that have not seen you shooting so, they will help you fight off the extremists.

After you have cleared the area, deal with the cannons. To sabotage them, you need to stand to the right, at the back of the barrel, where you twist the wick in. After you have sabotaged both of the cannons, you need to set fire to one of them. After you do that, you have several seconds to escape the blast radius. After the explosion, leave the area and become anonymous.

Paris stories - A Nine Chappe

Difficulty level: 5/5

Reward: 25000 Livres

This mission requires you to complete Signaling Officer Murat.

Your task is to destroy four Chappe towers that are used to send signal messages. This is a very frustrating mission, because each of the towers is in a different location and all of them are heavily guarded. It is enough for you to walk away from the mission area too far and you will have to start over. You can replay the mission after you die, but the game accepts only those of the towers that you have already destroyed. If, therefore, you died before you managed to destroy the next tower, you will have to eliminate all of the surrounding opponents once again. To make things worse, all of the towers are in restricted areas with alarm bells, and the district is swarming with guards. One wrong step and you will have a dozen-or-so opponents on your back.

The two Southern towers are easy. They are on the rooftops and are guarded by snipers. Climb onto the roofs over the walls, to end up behind the backs of the snipers. Eliminate them without letting them know where you are, destroy the tower and escape immediately. You cannot sabotage a tower if you are being watched so, try to remain unspotted, by the guards below. Sneak and stealth-assassinate, and use the phantom blades. This way, things should work.

The Northern towers are much more difficult. The guards in the restricted areas, and outside, are much more numerous and there are lots of snipers here. To attack directly is to commit suicide and to waste your supplies, because this is nearly bound to end in your death. As much as, in the case of the barracks, you can try to hide, in the case of the harbor, there are scarce hiding places and it is an open area.

First of all, attack the harbor. If possible, attack the strongest guards with the berserker blades, make them distract the rest. If you remained unspotted, sabotage the tower and escape. If the guards took interest in you, use smoke bombs, flash bombs or throw poison gas bombs and use firearms. Kill only the ones that are attacking you and let the rest fight the maddened guards. If you do not have the berserker blade on you, enter the harbor from the right, where there are two guards. Eliminate them as silently as possible. Kill the guard on the tower with a headshot and take a quick shot at the remaining two. wait for them to approach you and use smoke bombs and flash bombs. Pick the moment to fight, when there are no patrols around. Otherwise they will come to help the fighting.

In the case of the barracks, enter the restricted area from the direction of the tower. Use the cherry bomb to distract the guards on the ground and climb onto the rooftop. Take crossbow shots to kill the two snipers, sabotage the tower and escape. With a bit of luck, you will not be spotted by anyone. After you do the job, escape the area and become anonymous.

Paris stories - Precious Correspondence

Difficulty level: 5/5

Reward: 37500 Livres

This mission requires you to complete Nine Chappe.

Your mission is to retrieve three important letters. All of them are in the possession of high-level opponents. They are in three restricted areas and they are being guarded by numerous high-level guards. Again, a direct attack is out of the question, if you have not prepared well, beforehand.

Before you enter each of the areas, climb to rooftops and eliminate the snipers. In this mission, there are unusually many of them so, try not to leave anyone alive. Then, start shooting at the opponents below, or distract the m with bombs, berserker blades, or lure smaller groups outside of the area and defeat them there. The letters themselves can be stolen or found on the corpses of the opponents. For the majority of time, the theft is not an option. There are too many opponents and they are sure to spot you. After you have killed the majority of them. you can attempt theft.

The owner of the third letter is under the cemetery. You notice him thanks to the stairs at the edge of the restricted area. Underground, there are many opponents, but also there are hiding places for you. Apart from that, the opponents are, usually, oblivious to the art of using stairs so, in a tight situation, get back to the surface. Only few follow you there.

After you obtain all three letters, return them to the owner.

Co-op missions - The Tournament

Difficulty level: 5/5

Reward: 3 Sync points, 5 more during the mission. Master Phantom Hood, Master Brigand Breeches, Legendary Musketeer Coat.

Your first task is to obtain four passes that will allow you to take part in the tournament. Thow of them are on the guards that are patrolling the area. They are not alone, because they are accompanied by several more guards of high levels. Apart from that, the entire area is full of high-level guards, who attack you at the first opportune moment. Therefore, the teft itself and obtaining the passes is difficult, because in both cases you will be obstructed by the presence of the nearby guards. Pick the most convenient method.

The remaining two passes are easier to obtain, because they are in tents in restricted areas. Unlike the previous two, these passes can be collected, even if you are spotted. Both areas are well guarded but you can access both without being spotted. In case of detection, grab the passes and escape, while throwing smoke bombs behind. You can fight, but the numbers of the opponents are so high that this makes no sense. Apart from that, in both of the areas, there are alarm bells so, the death of one guard may soon bring more of them.

Your next task is to collect 32 flags on the obstacle course. The flags appear after you have collected the previous one, according to the predetermined order. At the beginning, you receive 30 seconds and 5 more per flag. It is nearly impossible to beat this fragment on your own. Therefore, if you have not mastered the order, in which the flags appear, you will be doing it over and over, for several or more times. You will either run out of time, or Arno will jump in the wrong direction, or you confuse the order. If possible, get, at least, one more person to help you. If not, it is better to put fragile items away and prepare for loads of frustration.

After you have completed the challenge, go into the marked area. After a while, you receive another mission. On the square, there are four flags. Each one is guarded by a group of opponents of low levels. Your task is to defeat the enemies and raise all the flags. To pick up a flag, you need to hold down the interaction button, which may be interrupted with any attack. This is why, you should start by clearing the area and then, take to the flags. There is nowhere to hide so, you will have to fight in the direct fashion. You can fight in melee, shoot and use bombs. Contrary to what may seem, there are no restrictions. A flag that you raise once, cannot be lowered and the opponents cannot raise theirs. This is why, after you have cleared the area the mission itself becomes a sheer formality. You only need to watch out for the nearby extremists. The flags are in restricted areas and the nearby opponents attack you, as soon as they spot you.

After you have dealt with the flags, go to Dumas. Talk to him and follow him. After a while, you receive the task to kill four conspirators. The entire group is in a restricted area and guarded by a large group of guards and snipers of high levels. The opponents are at the ground floor of the building so, enter through the window. There are too many of them for you to try stealth assassinations so, prepare to fight a difficult fight. While moving over the cornice, take a good position and kill the first target from above. Before that, you can use berserker blades to poison the opponents and have them fight each other. Ram into the opponents and eliminate them, with bombs and firearms. To make things easier, focus on the conspirators only and, after you kill them, leave the building, while throwing smoke bombs behind. After the job is done, leave the area.
