100% Sync Guide (Perfectionist)
Perfectionist 50 Complete 100% of all main mission constraints. This is a full guide for the 'Perfectionist' achievement. The guide will layout all the objectives you'll need to complete to earn 100% in each Sequence. The Sequences will be shown in order and will have small details to help you pass each mission as well as videos for added help. If you have any better routes or ways of completing certain objectives, please post here. Also, any other discussions about this achievement and anything relating to it, should be posted and ask here to save on forum clutter. --------- Useful Links Achievement Guide & Roadmap Alternative 100% Sync Guide --------- Credit Tyger GamesSeriesNetwork --------- Key (Linked) Sequence 1 (#2) Sequence 2 (#3) Sequence 3 (#4) Sequence 4 (#5) Sequence 5 (#6) Sequence 6 (#7) Sequence 7 (#8) Sequence 8 (#9) Sequence 9 (#10) Sequence 10 (#11) Sequence 11 (#12) Sequence 12 (#13) --------- Notes First off I'm letting you all know there will be spoilers. If you don't want any of the story ruined while you playthrough, please read carefully or not at all. Overall this achievement isn't too hard but a couple of missions may cause you a few troubles. Just remember that if you fail one of the objectives at any point, the game now has a 'Restart Checkpoint' option. Using this does not void the achievement, so use it whenever you feel it's needed. I'll only be listing the missions which go towards this achievement. Also take note that I won't be laying out how to constantly do attacks like certain assassinations, parries, sequential combo's etc. Please learn them via the tutorial in Sequences. It simply saves on typing space.

Sequence 1 Mission 1: Refresher Course Objectives:
You should no issues getting 100% on this mission as it's basically the tutorial. Just follow the on screen tasks and you'll get 100% at the end of the course. Mission 3: Journey to the New World Objectives:
This are pretty simply once again. During the fights, you can either hold and then attack once you've parried or do a counter by pressing just as the NPC attacks you and you can then counter with a flurry of attacks by pressing .

Sequence 2 Mission 2: Johnson's Errand Objectives:
You can combine both of these objectives together. The first half of the mission can get you around 5 kills with a firearm. Things can get a bit hard due to the long reloading and close quarter fighting, so it maybe less, but don't worry. When the second objective takes place, you should be at the front of Hickey/Lee. This way you can take on the advancing guards before they get near the other two. Remember, that if you haven't got all 10 firearm kills to use your gun or one off the floor until you reach it. Mission 3: The Surgeon Objectives:
These two objectives are combined into one. On this mission you'll learn about eavesdropping and SSI's. Follow the missions main objectives until you have to eavesdrop 3 groups of people. To not get detected, you'll need to enter the eavesdrop zone and blend in with the community. So this means, stand near a stool, or sit on a bench etc. When you see a white little dot above your head, this means you've blended in. When it comes to a set of moving guards, simply stay a small distance, but still in the eavesdrop circle. Take note that once you're done eavesdropping, the NPCs will still become alert if you walk to close to them, so find a good route out, away from their line of sight or wait until they've moved on. Mission 4: The Soldier Objectives:
The first part to this mission is easy. Simply keep out of the red circle of the advancing guards and you'll be. Just make sure you keep a line of site on them, otherwise you'll lose them and have an allotted time to get them back into view. After Lee distracts the guards into the alley, you'll now have two new objectives to complete in this mini fight. First you'll want to deal with the snitches and there's two of them. You're in luck though as, one will be killed right away by your allies. As soon as the fight starts, look in front of you and little to the right. You'll see a guy holding a drum. This is the snitch you're going to kill. Right away, run up to him and either try and assassinate him or shoot him with your gun. If he runs and gets away, just restart the checkpoint. Once he's dead, move onto the next objective. To pull off a sequential combo, you'll need to first counter an attack. Once you've countered, hit to kill the target. During this animation, hold the towards another close guard and press again to lunge towards them and get an instant kill. Repeat until 3 guards have died by this method.If by chance you get interrupted or you have to block/parry, then this will break the chain. So just restart the checkpoint. Also note that even though the 'Prevent snitches from calling reinforcements' objective doesn't tick off once you've killed the snitch, it does not mean it's not completed. It'll complete once you've finished the mission. Mission 5: Infiltrating Southgate Objectives:
The video below shows a good way to complete the first two objectives. This mission is pretty easy as long as you keep to the outskirts and pick your spots. There's only a few guards around which are moving and allow you to pull off a corner assassination. To pull one off, simply push yourself up to a corner of anything and you'll automatically learn up against it. When the target is close, press to kill them. If one doesn't quite get into the right position, line yourself up and press to whistle. This is distract the guard and bring him over to your location.You'll be given a quick tutorial on how to avoid being damaged by a firing line and this is the only you'll have to avoid being hit from. If you get hit, just reload the checkpoint.

Sequence 3 Mission 1: Unconvinced Objectives:
The first objective covers two sets of fights. First are the wolves. You can either shoot them, which is the best option or wait for them to attack and then deal with the QTE's that pop up on screen. Once you've killed the first few, search for the mysterious and then simply keep running after her. If any other wolves attack, either deal with them with the methods mentioned or keep running away from them. The second is the tavern fight later on and also combines the second objective. When the fight begins, make sure your fists are set as your weapon. You'll now need to circle around the tavern until you see the white webs around the tables. Get close to one and when one of the guards attacks, counter him and Haytham should use the object in the counter. Do this one more time to complete the objective. Mission 2: Execution is Everything Objectives:
This mission can be a little tricky due to the fact you can't kill any of the guards. This means you're going to have to be fast and efficient when going through the area and going from one stealth spot to another. If things do get too close for comfort, you CAN knock out a guard with your fists attached. This knocks them out and does not count as a kill. Feel free to use smoke bombs as well. At the start of the mission, go down the hill and jump into the back of the carriage. This will take you right into the area you need to be without being spotted. Your best bet now is to follow the video if you're having some issues. So, jump out of the carriage and head up onto the east building beside you. From here you can eavesdrop on the guards without having to avoid being detected. Now for the cannons. One is a little south of your position, while the other is a little further into the town but still south on the map. The first shouldn't bee to hard to reach and sabotage in time. Just like all stealth games, the NPC's have a set route unless you disturb it. So watch where they go and move when their backs are turned. Mission 3: The Braddock Expedition Objectives:
There's a few guards in this small area that you're going to have to kill via a stealth assassination to pass the first objective. Only 2 need to be killed by this method, so take your time and pick them off. There's plenty of hiding spots, so circle the restricted area and learn the NPCs movements. Once you've killed the first 2, you can then, if you feel like it, go full out on the rest. During the second part of the mission you'll be on horseback and chasing after Braddock. All you need to do is follow him and you'll pass each powder cart along the route you take. When close to one, press to shoot your gun and blow it up. Remember to reload in time for when the next one pops up.

Sequence 4 Mission 1: Hide and Seek Objectives:
For this mission, you're given 4 minutes to find all the children. Your task of not making a mistake means you need to find all the clues as you search for them. The clues are pointed out to you via a white magnifying glass on the floor and most as close to each other in a line. If you're having trouble finding one, use your Eagle Vision. Mission 2: Feathers and Trees Objectives:
Not touching the floor is a simply task during this mission. After the river cutscene, just make sure you take the right hand side route. The path is laid out for you and touching the rocks before the river is perfectly fine. Now onto the feathers. Start off by picking up the first two feathers that are shown on your mini map as they're quite close to each other. Now head towards your yellow mission marker. Along the way, you should see another feather icon pop up on the map. Simply climb the tree and grab the 3rd and final one. If you're having issues finding any more feathers in the area, look for the view point and climb to the top and synchronise the area. Doing so, will show all the feathers in the surrounding area. Mission 3: Hunting Lessons Objectives:
For this mission, you'll need to bring back a total of 5 pieces of meat. Through all the objectives, just make sure you kill 3 different types of animals. It doesn't matter what objective you do this by, just make sure they're not all are the same. Three you can go for are - Dear, fox & rabbit. Snaring an animal is pretty simply. Combine your bait and snare via the D-Pad and then place it down. Animals of all sorts will flock to it. It comes down to a 'first come, first served' basis. So wait for one to get snared and then collect the meat. The air assassinations can be a little more tricky, as find animal in the right spot maybe a little tedious. You best bet is to keep up high in the trees and simply free-run around the area looking for easy targets. Mission 4: Something to Remember Objectives:
Quite a tricky objective this one. You'll need to go through this flying section without hitting any of the tree or cliffs and anything else that pops up in your way. There's no real tactic to this, other than skill and luck. If you fail and hit two things, then restart the checkpoint.

Sequence 5 Mission 1: A Boorish Man Objectives:
Same as all the other health related one's. Just parry/counter attacks and you should be fine. Mission 2: A Trip to Boston Objectives:
Right at the end of the mission, you'll be given 1:18 to escape the area. This is more than enough time. Simply run in any direction, keeping to the rooftops if possible and get outside of the red zone. Remember to hide yourself in some hay or the water for it to count. Your best bet is to stick with the your starting direction - North / north-east. Mission 3: Boston's Most Wanted Objectives:
I'd suggest you keep to some of the rooftops near by and watch the patterns of the guards before you make any moves in taking down the wanted posters. If you do get into some conflict, which you want to try and avoid, try and dispatch the attacking guards as soon as possible. This will help in escaping and calming down your notoriety as well as anymore guards spotting the fight. Mission 6: River Rescue Objectives:
This objective is pretty straight forward but can cause a few restarts if you're not fast enough. Even though the video below shows the method of taking the left route, I found it easier to keep to the right and jump across/around the river. This was due to encountering two wolves on the left which hindered my speed and keeping up with terry. Find the route that suits you, but the last part is all the same and this is where speed comes into play. You'll reach a hanging tree with 4 branches pointing out which you'll need to jump across. While doing this, you should be parallel with Terry and the log he is hanging on. In most cases, you'll have to get to the 4th one to be level with him and more into a position to jump onto his log rather than jumping into the water. If he gets too far ahead, you'll dive right into the water and fail. You need to get to the furthest branch and then press + to launch yourself onto his log to save him. Mission 8: The Hard Way Objectives:
For the first objective, I'd recommend you stay at half-sail for most of it. This way you'll have a lot more control over the ship. Make sure you keep away from the rocks on the side. Even getting too close the rocks that are hidden underwater will damage the boat. So try and keep the ship at a fair distance. Remember to also use your mini-map as a guide, as it shows you the rock markers as you're sailing. The 2nd/3rd you can either choose to do during the first sea battle again the 3 smaller ships or leave the 3d on for the last battle against the bigger English frigate. Smaller ships will fall to your swivel guns, so after the gun training, this is where you'll have to use them. Simply aim and for the cursor to go red and fire. Destroy 2 of the 3 ships this way and it'll be complete. For bracing against attacks, you can either do this again the first lot or the frigate. All you need to do is watch out for when the enemy ship is going to fire by the highlighted beam coming out from it. Once it turns red or is close to, press to have the whole crew brace and cuk from the attack. Do this 2 more times to complete the objective.

Apologies for not finishing the guide all. Many thanks Tyger for the edits.
2 weeks ago I moved house and sadly our internet provider f'd it up. So this was 2 weeks without any internet. So I wasn't going to play the game, because then I couldn't update the thread. The the week just gone I've been on holiday, so that's a 3rd week off. Luckily, we got the internet sorted on our return, so it's now up and running. So I'll try and complete the game this weekend if I get a chance. I'll check through Tygers edits and compare to anything that I want to add and make any edits if need be. Again, sorry for the delay but it was out of my hands! |

Thank you so much for this guide!
One of the (many) things that was frustrating about the game was how sometimes the optional objectives weren't told to you beforehand. Only when I failed it would the screen pop up tell me. Got to the point where I got sick of replaying checkpoints and just kept this guide up. Before each sequence, I scanned through the objectives to know what I had to do. It's sad, and ruins the element of surprise as the objectives give away what you're supposed to do, but the developers should've done a better job with this game. So thanks for saving me a ton of time and frustration. |

Maybe worth mentioning for Sequence 2 Mission 5: Infiltrating Southgate - do not free all the hostages first, leave one and kill the general first.
