Assassin's Creed Unity - A Dinner Engagement, The Execution, Peletier, defend Elise

We continue our complete Assassin's Creed Unity walkthrough with a guide to surviving the game's tenth sequence.

If you're following our guide all the way through to complete the storyline, be aware that you're going to need 4,000F for the next section in order to get into Le Peletier's study. If you want to tick off both Challenges while you're at it, you're also going to need Berserker Blades, not to mention the Double Air Assassination and Double Assassination skills.

From where you begin this memory, look at the building to your north, where packs of Extremists and Brutes are waiting. To tick off the Brutes Challenge, pay a visit to these enemy gangs and hit them with your Berserker Blades.

You can also complete one of your double assassination Challenges by killing the guards at the gate near your starting position - just make sure you take out the third guard beforehand. You'll get the second set of double assassinations by killing the enemies beneath the Extremists on the eastern rooftop - hang from the ledge, then deliver death from above.

Next, you should find it quite easy to climb up onto the compound and find the courtyard. When you've got there, look for the objective in one of the corners, then bribe an employee to leave his window open. When the next cut-scene finishes, sneak in through this window.

Note that the Assassination Opportunity associated with this memory can only be completed on a second attempt if you're using this walkthrough.

Find Le Peletier

First of all, get into position by the door that over on the room's western side. Now turn on your Eagle Vision to get eyes on the Defender who's lurking in the nearby corridor. When it's safe to do so, sneak up on him and take him out, before heading through the door he was facing. Get into cover on the western side once more.

Switch your Eagle Vision on again to locate the pair of guards up ahead - one's an Extremist, the other's a Seeker. When the Seeker moves over to the window, dart in and kill him before he can turn around. Now head west, use your lockpicking skills on the next door, then walk on through.

Activate your Eagle Vision as there's a Brute patrolling around here. If the coast is clear, go through the door on your left and finish the Extremist. Get into cover along the Brute's patrol, then eliminate him using a cover kill when the moment is right.

Assassinate Peletier

To finish off the assassination, go to the open door that lies to the north-east. Step inside whenever the Seeker isn't standing right by you, then dart straight back out and get into cover by the door once more. Wait 20 seconds or so - if you can hear Peletier talking, you've triggered the next part of the mission.

Stay where you are for now and just wait for him to leave his group and start heading towards you. When he gets to the door, take him down with a cover kill to finish off this memory. If you've still got Challenges to tick off, consider skulking around here for a bit until you're done, otherwise just go back out through the window and leave the greyed-out section of your map.


A Dinner Engagement Challenges

  • Drive two Brutes berserk
  • Perform two double assassinations

Find Germain

From your starting position, look below and ahead of you. There's a rope running from the Sniper towards the south-west, and a spot where it branches off. Kill the Sniper before doing anything else, then head back and jump down into the haycart below.

Get out and climb the pole nearby, then go along the rope towards the Sniper - dart in and take him out as silently as you can. Get back onto the rope, make your way back to where it branches off, then carry on along the route until you reach the very end.

Go down that pole and then work your way through the crowd in a westerly direction. You'll find another pole very quickly which you can climb up. Go along the rope and use your Phantom Blade to take out the Sniper as soon as you spot him. Keep going forwards until you reach the end of the rope, then get back down to street level.

Two guards are standing by a carriage to the north-east of your current position, and another two are patrolling the local area. Turn your Eagle Vision on to spot them if you have to, then wait for a suitable gap to run around to the left of the carriage. Head towards the rear of the structure to start the next cut-scene.

Defend and follow Elise

This part of the memory is where you can finish the second of your special Challenges - that's if you have Stun Bombs on you. To make it through this final objective, you'll also have to protect Elise form the Extremist attacks. When she runs off, you should follow her. When she stops, defend her from the assailants. After a few rounds of this you'll automatically finish the memory.


The Execution Challenges

  • Kill two snipers
  • Stun five enemies
