The Natives' Revenge

Killing Edward Braddock with a native's weapon, the tomahawk. Right before the target gets knocked off his horse you see a soldier air assassinated by a Native American. You have the option to take him out and pick up his tomahawk. Plant it somewhere along Edward's flee route to use during the chase. As an added challenge I assassinate Edward before he stops running.

I actually made a new game to see if Haytham can keep the tomahawk with an empty small weapon slot (on this save file I had previously picked up a dagger from an enemy). So I picked it up and was able to sheath it. The weapon icon even showed up, however the tomahawk had disappeared during and after the next scene. I find it baffling that you are able to keep a dagger but not a tomahawk as Haytham, unless the game developers had anticipated this.

Blooper

It took around five times to get the tomahawk kill right. Two mistakes I made were not running straight to the target and not placing the tomahawk where I can find it. In the case of my very first attempt I made both mistakes.

I thought if I just held Analog stick pointing up during the end of the scene I would get a head start in chasing the target, but the game has you running in a different direction. You have to wait until the scene is over and then the game will have you facing Edward.

Didn't leave the weapon in a good spot. Since this was my first time trying this, I wasn't sure if it had just disappeared during the scene, so I went back to make sure it was actually there. Luckily Edward found it, making for a nice last-second disarm kill.

Dynamic Air Assassination

This is a challenge THB member Double Mcstab with Cheese attempted when he made his own Edward Braddock Variety Pack.

Pretty much air assassinating him during the chase (no fair using a horse) .

Jump in, the Water is Fine

Make Edward suicide himself. He can be tricked into climbing on a nearby fallen tree if he's close enough while chasing you. Once he reaches the edge, Edward is a sitting duck and has no choice but to jump off, even if it's to his death. This may take a few tries.

Turkey Shoot in a Well

Before it had been thought that throwing a character into a well would kill him, but the target is very much alive. You can attempt to air assassinate him, but go back into the default hanging-from-well position. At least you can still shoot him.

Attempted Human Bait

The wolves displayed some strange behavior. They will not attack you if you are being chased by the target. Even worse, they will run away when close enough to Edward, whether or not you are detected.

General Chaos Style Fight

Edward is unarmed, and therefore sucks at fighting (it would have taken him a little over two minutes to punch Haytham to death). I use this to recreate a comical fight scenario from General Chaos, a battle simulator for Sega Genesis. The game is all about soldiers shooting each other, but sometimes you will have two engage in a close combat fist fight until one has lost all his health. Every once in a while it will appear one soldier has won after knocking his opponent to the earth, but then the grounded soldier whips out a handgun and blasts away the would be victor.

William Johnson: Dynamic Human Bait

The goal here was to assassinate William Johnson by bear while he was still running. Thus Dynamic Human Bait. It was more challenging than anticipated because there are two time requirements:

  1. You have approximately 2:30 to assassinate Johnson or enter Open Conflict. Otherwise it says, "Ally Died: Desynchronized".
  2. It takes little more than a minute for Johnson to run down to the dock and cower.

The bear walks slowly. If you play your cards right, you have 3:30 to find the bear and slow walk him over to Johnson's escape road. The key is to aggravate the guards on the dock at the proper moment (and to remain Anonymous up until that point). It starts with a brazen escape past four guards at the respawn point. As long as you give them a wide berth and don't do any free-running, they will yell at Connor but not enter Open Conflict. If they do enter Open Conflict then it's too late. Johnson starts running for the dock.
