Guide to Assassin's Creed II's Assume The Position mission. Attack guard positions with mercenaries to allow Ezio to sneak in for the kill.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Lead your mercenaries to the first red marker shown on your map (minimap (the small circular map in the bottom-left corner of your screen)). Stick to the streets as your mercenaries cannot climb buildings.
  2. 2
    Dispatch any patrolling guards quickly.
  3. 3
    Defeat all enemies in the target area with your mercenaries' help.
  4. 4
    Step into the marker once the area is clear. More mercenaries will occupy the area, and a new group will follow you to the next target area.
  5. 5
    Proceed to the subsequent target areas, encountering more patrols and Brutes. Prioritize defeating the Brutes first to make weaker enemies flee and minimize mercenary losses.
  6. 6
    After securing all three positions, the mission concludes.
  7. 7
    Head to the final marker to confront and kill Dante and Silvio.
Tips
  • Remember that mercenaries cannot climb buildings, so you must stay on the streets.
  • If you encounter patrolling guards, dispatch them quickly.
  • Focus on defeating Brutes early to cause weaker enemies to flee and preserve your mercenaries.
