[AC3 Boston Challenge] Couldn't Find A Feather
Map: Boston
Starting Location: The top/tip of the Dock at the top right of the map.
Target Location: The bottom of Boston, where the exit to the Frontier is located.
Challenge: Kill a guard and wait for the others (if applicable) to leave. Pick up his body. You have to get his body to the bottom of the map. Dropping the body is permitted, so is picking it up again.
Max Detects: 3
Available Tools: All Tools, All Assassin Abilities
Full Synchronization: Do not get detected. Drop the body five times or less.
Reverse Challenge: Burial At Sea
Route is reversed.
Nice! A bit similar to an ACB challenge I saw here once, to get a body from the far southeast to Il Vaticano, right?

I had a go:
- Time: about 20 minutes (I took a pretty big detour.)
- Body drops: 6, two of those were accidentally, when I stepped off a small bump. 3 were because I was attacked, the last one I dropped on purpose after I was detected to quickly kill one alerted guard.
- Times detected: 5
- Assassins used for backup: 4, one for each time I was detected. The last one I handled myself.
- Assassins used for other abilities: 0
- Tools used: 0
I'm pretty sure any of you can do this better.
It should be doable with some planning.
Where does the name come from?
In AC1 Altair used feathers soaked with blood as proof of getting his targets. Connor can't find a feather, so brings the body. That was my interpretation.
Should definitely be doable. I'll give it a go at some point. I have some clever ideas.

I assume you mean in AC1, not AC2 
typo. 
fixed.

Indeed, that's where the name comes from
And awesome, it'd be interesting to read about your clever ideas ;]
Got another idea for this. Let me experiment with them tonight/tomorrow/this weekend. I'll update my progress. And if it works, expect a video.

Goofed around last night.
My best idea did not work.
My second idea worked, but not very well.
So I just tried once with no planning... made it the whole way without purposefully dropping the guy... once a civilian ran into me so I dropped him, twice I was detected/stabbed/shot so dropped him, and once I waded into water that was too deep so he fell in. Also was detected a fair amount (about 5-6 times) because I hadn't scouted the route I took. I think I learned a way to go that will get me there without dropping the body once and possibly without detection... I'll be recording tomorrow morning, and if i get a good run, expect it posted with minor editing.

Son of a bitch... I just did it with no detects and maybe 4 body drops... and my recording device stopped mid run and only caught the first 2 minutes...

Got it on video:
14 minutes long
1 tool use (to kill the initial guard)
0 detections
5 body drops (should be 3, could be 
a metric shit-ton of assassin "assassinate" commands
Editing now, and will upload as separate annotated video topic.

Only 8 recruits used... a low number for this run, and I'll explain why.
