Ready to liberate Westminster? This guide breaks down the Blue Anchor Alley Gang Stronghold in Assassin's Creed Syndicate, including optional objectives and rewards.
Alright, let's tackle the Gang Stronghold in Blue Anchor Alley. This one's smack-dab in the middle of Westminster, west of the Abbey and south of the Barracks. Your main goal here is to take out 14 Blighters. My advice? Get up on those rooftops first. Use your Eagle Vision to mark all the enemies – it'll also show you the location of the Heist Plans you need to burn for an optional objective, marked in white.
You're up against a mix: three Snipers, two Lookouts, the Leader, and nine regular melee guys. Most of them are patrolling set routes or just standing guard. Definitely take out those two Lookouts early on. One patrols between the center and the north wall of the restricted zone, and the other wanders the western open area. Get rid of them before they can call for backup.
Now, for the optional objective: killing the Leader undetected. He's chilling in a small fenced-off area right in the center. An air assassination from a rooftop is a solid move, or you could use throwing knives. Just make sure you do it without him seeing you, and you'll bag that bonus objective.
With the Leader dealt with, focus on the remaining enemies. But before you wipe everyone out, there's another optional objective: burning the Heist Plans. You'll usually find these inside the northernmost building within the restricted zone. You'll likely need to enter through the top floor windows. Once you've got the plans, burn 'em!
After you've sorted out both optional objectives, clear out any remaining Blighters. Once everyone's down, you'll have successfully liberated the area!
Optional Objectives:
- Burn Blighter heist plans.
- Kill the Leader undetected.
- Money: 600 £ (Bonus: 350 £)
- XP: 430 XP (Bonus: 300 XP)
- Gear: N/A
