Reserved in case...

[Vicktacular]

These flags are pretty ,much the new Crackdown Orbs. There are way too many to find without a guide. I give props to those who are able to track all of them down.

[Slane]

The strategy guide shows location of all 420 flags, and 60 templars?

[The Pants Party]

We can't use the pictures of the strategy guide, it is illegal. That is why I started this thread. Apparently no one wants to help make this list though.

thats incorrect... people want to help but being able to list a persons/flags specific location in a HUGE game like this can be tough. with the massive citys containing so many buildings that you get lost 10 steps past the gate.

if only there was an easier way to describe locations...


edit: not to mention the fact that once you pick it up you cant get it back or go back and record where you found it...

[Badhazard]

We wont need to list high point locations it tells you in the game map.

[KingGotenW]

another templar in jerusalem in a corner by a church (which is also a high point)

(way too many churches)

[Lunacy182]

If we can't use the maps from the strategy guide, can we take picture of the in game map and mark the locations in paint and then post it on the forums?
Then we could take a picture of the flag so you could see if it was on a roof or the ground.

Yeah, thats fine.

[kungFuStu72]

I went searching for them last night and finished the achievement. Unfortunately I'd already got 3 of them during the initial scenes so I don't know where they were. Here's my list of the 17 I found last night. All the descriptions make sence to me but you might have problems as it's so hard to describe the locations. The numbers are not official, they're just the order I found them in so they will not match up with the official guide. The first two are only available after the initial Damascus assassination as the garden is locked until then.

1.In the library garden on a pole in the pond.
2.In the library garden on the lowest tier (keep heading north).
3.In the library on the left side of the ground floor.
4.In the castle courtyard next to the ladder that leads to the 3 leap of faiths.
5.At the top of the ladders right next to the 3 leaps.
6.Jump off the leap (where the man broke his leg), cross the first beam and it's on a ledge to the right (near the second beam).
7.As you approach the castle it's on a cliff ledge to the right as you go up some steps. There's lots of guards in this area.
8.From the castle, heading south, it's on the roof of the 1st building you come to.
9.Look south from flag 8 and you can see it on the roof of the next building to the south.
10.On the south edge of the ravine but at the east end by a bench.
11.On the south edge of the ravine but at the west end. Quite a nice "free run" along beams over the gorge.
12.Where the intimidation target was preaching there's one directly behind/above him.
13.Where the intimidation target was preaching there's one behind/above and to the east on a balcony/porch.
14.Very close to where you beat up the intimidation target. It's just to the south across the path/road in some grass between a tree and a small house.
15.Come through the main gate of Masyaf and follow the wall to the right. Don't climb anything and you should find it in a dead end alley with rafters above.
16.From the main gate follow the left hand wall. It's in the evesdropping marketplace in the rear left corner.
17.In the evesdropping marketplace again but in the rear right corner tucked away. This is the very base level of town.

The following 3 are from memory so could be a little off.
18.On a roof top just south of the ravine by the west edge of the map. (Just south of number 11.
19.On a roof top just inside the city gates.
20.Near the pick pocket target. I got this one when running from a guard after I messed up the training mission so I don't really know where it was. I think it was in the area north west of where the pick pocketing started.

The good thing to know is that they're all in the town itself. None of them are outside the main gate so if you pass the horses you've gone too far.

[fonzycore]

I think a guide to list all of the flags will be kind of hard to make because there are so many and it really is hard to describe where a lot of them are... my advice is to just fully explore everything lol When going between area to area, fully explore each zone because unexplored zones are faded out on your map. Thats the easiest way to tell where I have been. As far as finding the templars and flags within the cities themselves, thats something different. Its a cluster f*** in all the cities and you really do get lost very quickly... No real advice there, just play through the game and hope you get them all doing sidequests and such, or just let a friend dick around on the game inside a city and maybe youll get lucky and he'll find 1 or 2

[p4in redefined]

just got this game today ill try and help where i can ill just keep editing this post if you wanna keep making the list from it pants. ill try and make the locations as clear as possible.

I hope this happens. With a map mark and a picture of it, I'll be able to find every flag and Templar.

As it is I must suck at finding them because I do all sidequests and viewpoints before I kill the target, yet I leave a section of the city with only 10 of 100 flags. I'm sure there are 30-33 per section and even doing every mission I'm not finding them.

[MercilessW0LF]

It'll be extremely difficult to help those who are missing one or two flags per city. But I do have a question, in regards to Mastyf: are all the flags within the city limits or are some on the way to the large kingdom map?

[Y2KFROST]

So far I'ved only been able to find about 29 templars. In Jeruselem (didn't get the spelling bee award) there is one by a church, for for an easier way to find him, on your map, there is a big square with a circle in it. It is the biggest church there. The templar is in the corner of the church where the walls meet. There are at least 3 templars in this city, the way i found them is by running around. If u are close enough to them, they automatically attack you. At least that's one way to find them.

Kingdom: 12 scale points, 0 save citizens, 100 flags, 30 templars,
Masyaf: 0 scale points, 0 save citizens, 20 flags, 0 templars,

I believe this to be right as per my findings thus far, and this can be added to the guide if deemed fit.

I refused to get any flag until I was able to take the time to do them all at once. I have not completed the game yet (I had to restart for the vmars convo achievement). If you pick up random flags, it makes finding difficult ones nearly impossible since you don't know what you have and what you don't have.

[The Pants Party]

Ok, people seriously need to stop saying "this is hard, there are a lot of them." I know that, hence why I started a thread for all 30,000+ members of this site could contribute to. If you don't want to contribute, then don't comment in here. Huge thanks to Influx and Shuyinsama for actually helping. Keep it coming!

[Dizzy Domes]

Awesome work on the map Shuyinsama! Thanks a lot.

[Shuyinsama]

http://img259.imageshack.us/img259/336/thekingdommapct6.jpg

it's pretty big so i'll just link it like this.

Anyway...to let other people help in this huge process.
I made some photos with my Telephone, and paste them together and edited a bit.
Sorry for the crappy map but it's a fast one untill I or someone else maybe make a good one..
anyway please take the image and feel free to add the correct colored dots for the flags or templars.

I dotted 1 templar I know from my head there.

I appreciate the help from anybody and appreciate it when people use it can you give feedback if the dots were right etc (especially the templars) this way we can correct things and all work together on a map.

Thanks in advance here is the description for the templar:

UPDATE 1 (11-16-2007)

Templars

1: He is in this route, standing next to a horse (in my game)

Flags:

1: on top of the view point here



EDIT:
Ahh I just see that you want the view points locations too, to bad i already had them in the kindom or else they would be on the map, but those aren't really necessarry, the moment it gets explained all high points will be dotted in the games map and dissapear when you did them..

[gh0st w4lk3r]

The flags are going to be the hardest of all to find because the game is so huge, they are scattered everywhere. The Templar Knights do respawn in the same places where you killed them the first time and if you go back and he has respawned and you kill him again it does count toward the achievement of kill 60 Templar Knights.

[gh0st w4lk3r]

if theire not, well we'll have to do it with Guessed locations then ^^

Greets.

I do believe they are in a fixed location. It's like when I killed a couple and came back through the same area after finishing a map, they were back in the same exact spot.

[ChrissXeSage]

This helped me out a lot.....but that one flag in a shadowed area next to a house got me tripping balls for 25 mins
