Assassin's Creed Unity - Server bridge, Paris 1898, Metro Lady Liberty, portal, rope

We've got a simple guide to help you through Unity's first server bridge section, navigate the Metro station, and track down the escape portal.

When you leave the alley you begin in you'll be able to see an intersection that's over to your right. As you get near, you'll also be able to see a sign on the other side of the road and to your left. Make your way towards it and then go down the stairs that lead to the underground exit you're after. The next part of the objective simply continues the first - keep heading down the stairs until you enter the metro station.

Reach the Metro Network exit

When you get there, you'll be able to see a ladder that's over on the opposite side of the tracks. Climb up this ladder, and just keep following the path along as you head further upstairs, then traverse a series of pipes.

After the train whizzes along, have a look across the tracks and over to the right so you can locate the open door. Go through it, look left and up, clamber up the fence, then leave and take a right. Keep heading forwards until you come to a rope section that's suspended across the tracks. Jump across to it, then take a left and follow the path. After the second train comes by, turn around and run away, using all of your parkour abilities to best make your way across the obstacles.

Escape through the portal

At this point you should be able to clearly see the portal you're hunting down. You'll also be given some instructions about how to use the cover system to avoid the debris that's flying about all over the place.

As soon as you're ready to go, jump down from your current position and move forwards, making use of cover to avoid the danger. You shouldn't find this section too tricky at all if you just take your time and make your moves whenever the storm calms down a little.

Eventually you'll come to Lady Liberty, at which point you need to begin your next climb. This should be very familiar ground, and you just need to use your movement skills to reach the very top, before leaping through the portal to finish off Unity's first bridge section.
