Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Part 1: Tailing
    1. Immediately after the mission starts, activate Eagle Vision to tag your targets and begin following them.
  2. 2
    Head around the back of the market stalls and use the crowd for cover until they ascend stairs.
  3. 3
    Jump onto the wall to the left of the stairs, then proceed down the grassy area to the left of the house. Enter the bush located next to the large stone arches in the center of the square for cover.
  4. 4
    Follow them down the stairs. When they pause, take cover behind the corner of the building to the left of the road.
  5. 5
    When they resume moving, use the rope lift on the side of the building they were near to get to the roof.
  6. 6
    Eliminate the gunner on the roof and continue following the targets via the treetop path ahead.
  7. 7
    On the next roof, take out the gunner there as well.
  8. 8
    When the targets enter a fenced area with guards, drop to ground level. Work your way along the outside of the fence, then around the corner.
  9. 9
    Hide in the stalking bushes across the dirt road and follow them until they stop again.
  10. 10
    After a short conversation, they'll walk back past your position and enter a restricted area. Climb the ladder to the right to reach the rooftop.
  11. 11
    From here, you can observe them for a bit without losing them. Continue along the rooftops, keeping pace with the targets.
  12. 12
    Take out the gunner on top of the third building.
  13. 13
    Jump to the building across the street, and then jump again when the targets turn right.
  14. 14
    You'll end up on a building roof in front of a guarded farm gate. The targets will stop in the center. To eavesdrop, perform a leap of faith into the haystack below, then slip through the fence gap.
  • Part 2: Eavesdrop
    1. After entering the fence, move into the stalking bush.
    2. As you move in, the targets will begin to walk away. When it's safe, get into the nearby haystack and assassinate the guard next to it.
    3. Next, run between the buildings where the targets went and enter the bush there. Assassinate the guard in front of you.
    4. Proceed around to the right, and when they make the next left turn, wait a moment before entering the door of the building on the corner to the left of the road they just took. This will place you in a tree on the far side.
    5. Jump across the next few buildings until you reach the end of the block just before the cemetery.
    6. Turn right, run across the rope, and assassinate the shooter on the roof.
    7. By now, the targets should be in the cemetery. Use the wooden beam extending from the roof to dive into the haystack on the other side of the fence.
    8. Assassinate the guard in front of you, then exit the haystack.
    9. Work your way from bush to bush, climbing the hill after the targets when unobserved. Take out any guards near your hiding spots.
    10. The conversation will conclude when they reach the top of the hill.
  • Part 3: Fight
    1. Immediately after the scene, you'll be in combat. This is your chance to get the second optional objective: kill five guards while they're stunned by smoke bombs.
    2. Equip smoke bombs, drop one, and kill the guards when they are disoriented.
    3. Continue fighting until all guards are eliminated.
  • Part 4: Pursuit
    1. After the fight, Kidd will run off. Your objective is to stop him.
    2. Follow him closely, going wherever he goes. You'll be stunned by smoke bombs a couple of times, but keep pursuing.
    3. When you're in range, tackle him to complete the mission.
    • Tips
    • Use Eagle Vision frequently to keep track of your targets and identify enemies.
    • When tailing, utilize crowds and bushes for cover to avoid detection.
    • On rooftops, eliminate gunners strategically to clear your path.
    • Be mindful of guard patrols, especially when moving between cover points.
    • For the eavesdropping section, carefully time your assassinations to avoid alerting other guards.
    • During the combat phase, use smoke bombs effectively to create openings for quick kills and work towards the optional objective.
    • If Kidd is stunned by a smoke bomb during the pursuit, you can tackle him immediately.
    • Progress in the main story.
