Last Assassination, HELP!!!

[twostepGARRETT]

So im to the funeral assassination, and stuck! ive been trying since last nite to beat this but i just get cluster F***** everytime. the archers shoot me if im too close to the graveyard and when i take the fight to the city section, i just get counter killed by the dozens of guards. any tips or tricks to the final assassination?

much thanks,

Garrett.

I am not quite even half way through the game but maybe this will help out unless you have to change fighting tactics later on in the game which i havent had to yet. Just counter kill everyone. Like i said I'm not even halfway finished yet but so far ive taken on 30+ guys with only getting hit maybe 2-3 times. Apologies in advance if this just cant be done later in the game.

[twostepGARRETT]

ive used that tactic up until this assassination. they constantly break the counter, so i need to come up with another fight tactic then just countering

[Dravz]

Let them chase you through some vigilantes? Get away or kill the target while the vigilantes are grappling with them?


(I've only killed 3 targets, just brainstorming for you.)

[Matt Deckard]

You could do it 2 different ways i guess.

Either put some distance between you and the guards so they're not all in a circle around you, or go take out the archers first.

I personally went for the archers first, then waited on their platform as enemies climbed up to fight me, picking 'em off until the mark came up. Then, as soon as i got the target on the floor, i dashed over and pulled out the hidden blade.

Hope that helps a little...

EDIT

Dravz's vigilante idea is great too.

I did the same thing more or less. Started by killing the archer to the right of the target then ran over to the graveyard area and climbed up to the archer and took him out then waited up there and picked people off as they climbed up with my throwing knives until it was just me and the main target. It was actually pretty simple once the archers were gone. Hope that helps.

I dont know about you guys but counter attacks became incredably difficult near the end. Before, you could simply tap x while holding r, and you would cut them up. But near the end of the game (last few targets) you had to hit x at exactly the right time. Even then you would knock them down 90% of the time, not slice em up like oyu used too.
When you go to take her down (look for the soldier in the black helmet who makes girly grunts) make sure you've either isolated her or have as few soldiers left as possible. If you go for her right away, she will likely knock you over or psuh you into other soldiers. Also, use the other soldiers as meat shields against the archers. I found that if you fought your way over to the left archer (just below him) you can place your back against the wall and the other archer will simply take down the other soldiers when he tries to hit you : )

a really cheap tactic is to get to the top of a ladder as quickly as possible and just stand at the top so they are forced to come at you one at a time. Just keep throwing them off until your target climbs up after you and throw him (or her) to the ground and immediately switch to your hidden blade for a quick kill

ive pretty much given up on the final mission, ive tried at least 100 times to beat it but i just get thrown into gravestones and combo hit by the templars every time

[viciousmental56]

it took me a couple times but i first went after the archer on the right, i dont think i killed him just wanted him to stop shooting at me, then went after the other archer, after i just went to the middle and killed the rest and then killed the girl
if you are having trouble with this then the next part is even harder

dont just rely on counters because they will just guard break you, i would normaly single one out so the rest are behide me and when one when to hit me in the back i would counter kill him
go for combo kills and try to use guard break as much as possible so they cant counter you and you get atleast one hit in

look for one of them to look down every once in a while and go after him

I'm with you guys. I tried it for hours and never could do anything. I would fight there, I would run and fight elsewhere, but would still lose. Then I lucked out.

I just happened to run across one of the mobs that help you if you've saved someone nearby. I had a lot of templar's following me, but the mob holds onto them, and allows you to attack a few at a time. The easiest is to use your assassin/hidden blade, and get them from behind while a mob member is holding them.

This makes it quite simple, you just have to escape the graveyard and make it to the nearest mob.

Hope this helps. I can't get the achievement for throwing 25 harassers. I've had to done it to 100+.

i finally got it, i made for the ladder on the left and grabbed the girl then proceeded to jump on her with my blade. good stuff :D

[soopastylin]

Hey, it's not that hard! It's impossible to kill anyone on cemetery because archers just keep shooting and you can't even do a counter attack on somebody. But I've just escaped from the cemetery through some streets - all these swordsmen and your target chased me, but archers not - then just keep doing counter attacks and when your target will be on the ground use hidden blade - I think it's pretty easy.

[SebastianSB]

maybe I just got lucky but it was pretty easy for me to do this mission. The girl I was supposed to kill kept grabbing me so I just countered the grab and pulled out my hidden blade. The End.
