Assassin's Creed Rogue: Keep Your Friends Close Walkthrough

AntMag.NET

Alright, let's dive into Memory 04: Keep Your Friends Close in Assassin's Creed Rogue. This one's about getting to Franklin's place and then causing some chaos with a new toy.

Walkthrough

1
First things first, you need to get to Franklin's house. The area is crawling with gang members, so you've got a couple of options. You can try to sneak your way in by sticking to the rooftops on the right and circling around, or you can just fight your way through. Whichever you pick, once you get to the door, interact with it to trigger a cutscene.
2
After the scene, you'll get your hands on a new gadget: the grenade launcher. This thing is pretty cool and can fire different types of ammo. We'll start with shrapnel grenades, which are great for damage. Then there are sleep grenades that can knock enemies out for a bit, and berserk grenades that make them turn on each other.
3
To kick things off, use a shrapnel grenade to blast open the nearby door. After that, it's time to get to work destroying three vats of poison in the restricted area. While you're at it, we'll try to nail two optional objectives: kill three enemies with one shrapnel grenade and put 10 guards to sleep.
4
Head towards the middle of the three objective markers for the vats. Approach it from the east and climb onto the nearby rooftops for a better view. You'll see two guards down there, plus another one who patrols up to them. Wait until all three are grouped up, then drop a shrapnel grenade right on them. This should take care of the first optional objective. Keep an eye on the rooftop to your left, as a sniper will pop up there on a patrol route. If you see him, take him out with a tranquilizer dart or a stealth assassination.
5
Once you've got that first optional objective done, the rest is pretty straightforward. There are plenty of enemies around to practice your sleep grenades on. They don't stay asleep forever, so you can put them back to sleep multiple times if you need to. You'll find several caches of grenade ammo on the rooftops, so hitting that 10-guard sleep target should be easy.
6
With both optional objectives sorted, just find the two remaining poison vats and destroy them with shrapnel grenades. The southern vat can be shot from the rooftops. The northern one is at ground level and somewhat hidden, so you'll need to approach it from the west.
7
After all three vats are destroyed, make your way out of the area. A cutscene will play, and that'll wrap up the mission.

Tips

For the optional objective of killing three enemies with a single shrapnel grenade, timing is key. Wait for a group of three or more guards to gather near a vat before you throw it.
Don't forget to utilize the sleep grenades! They're super useful for crowd control and clearing paths, especially when you need to get past a tough group or line up a shot on a vat.
Keep an eye on your grenade ammo. There are resupply points on the rooftops, so make sure to grab them if you're running low, especially if you're going for the sleep objective.
When dealing with the sniper on the rooftop, a tranquilizer dart is often the safest bet if you can't get a clean assassination.
