The Hidden Blade Assassin's Creed in Depth

I'll give this a try.

I thought hyperblend was disabled?

Other than that, I'll try it out.

Sounds like a good challenge.
My vacations starts on Thursday, so keep bringing challenges to me that from thursday to the beggining of August i'll be trying all the challenges

No, you can still hyperblend. Just do a superblend and jump onto a horse from climbing onto something.

Then it's still superblend, since you can't use the cooldown period (which is what hyperblend is, superblend with the cooldown period from the hidden still intact).

When I do it, the grace period still works for me. :s

For me too

A little update here : according to me, there are 2 major obstacles. Firstly, this second "window", where I think you have to walk a meter on the roof before continuing ; the other is right at the bottom of the flag, where you also have to walk a tiny distance before getting on it. What do you think? (I can post screenshots or even videos if you want)

Isn't it possible to do a back eject to get onto the flag pole when hanging from the walls around it?

Look at the picture.

When performing a back eject you can only reach where Ezio is, the blue arrow. My problem is that you have to walk (red arrow) before continuing on the flag pole (yellow arrow).

Also the following picture.

There, after arriving at the blue arrow, you have to walk on the roof (yellow arrow), to continue to the next window (yellow arrow).

This works for me: push "up" to pull yourself up onto the even level. You have half a second to tap A/X to jump towards any handholds while still blended. It's hard to do, especially after climbing that much. I'd suggest practicing. Use catch ledge if you have to.

Yeah, this works for me too. Even hyperblending can continue if the trick is performed correctly.

Now there's still the problem of the flag pole, where a jump isn't enough to grab the first handhold ; normally you have to run on it.

I wonder if we can use the parachute, or the wires, or both... I don't know.

I've never climbed the wires. Can they be interacted with?

I just managed to go to the bottom of the flag pole while being (super)blended.

The only possible interaction with the wires is that you can't turn all around the flag pole while climbing on it. Otherwise they're just visual elements, Ezio goes through them.

There should be a solution but I don't see which one. I'm still researching.

I'll try to see if it's possible this weekend. I'll just skip the blending and head for the flag and try out every possible solution that I can think of.

i haven't been paying much attention to this superblend-thing
but how do you know when you are super/hyperblended if there are no people there to shout at you?

You remember.

Your minimap will stay green because you are in a "hiding spot".

Also, if you exit a blended group in time, Ezio will be colorless and have the blended shine all over him.

Yeah, I couldn't get past the window. Are there any other ways up to that section of the building?

Quite honestly, I don't know why you guys torture yourselves like this. Know that you will have my respect even if you don't finish. Welp, I'm going to go kill some guards and not worry about walking on flat surfaces, bai!
: P

In my opinion there's no other way up to the top. You can get past the window with JoeyFogey's method, but there are two issues : first, you're then in superblending (not hyperblending anymore) and second you have a forciori to "run" against the flag pole to climb it...

We bought it, so we want to make it fun without having to play just the multiplayer.

I quite honestly have more fun learning to do combat without ever getting knocked out of a killstreak. : P

EDIT: but I do admire the amazing challenges you guys complete!

I like both.
Sometimes i try to do challenges such as hyperblending to some place, or free-running the faster i to a place and stuff like that, and sometimes i try to kill the most guards i can without getting a single hit, etc.
Actually i would accept soem challenges, i'm not that creative person, so if someone here have a cool or some cool challenges, please say for me and i'll try.

all you need know is ezio's family playing and the logo in the backround

something like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQVW-JNHm-4&feature=related

Lmao

The way I said Slem's "What?" in my head made me laugh.

Anyways, how the f*ck did you get past the base of the flagpole while blended?

I am shocked by this. We need a vid or screen guide!

Congratulations man! And yeah, of the f*** did you reached the top of the flag pole? A video or detailed explanation would be welcome.

Anyway, do you wish to receive something as a gift? Another challenge maybe? ^^

Another challenge would be just fine =)

The flag pole is climbed by doing some stupid combination. That's it, actually. Video is coming soon, (next week) all my internet was good for today was a little proof video, or teaser, if you like that better.

Video coming soon! (Uploading now)

Put that in a new topic (with a link to the old one) and I think you may have yourself a frontpage.

You're going to have to wait another 7 days before i can re-upload, going to ITALY!

Don't hold your breath.

I see. Your going to try the challenge in real life as well.

Bump! What's happening? May we see the video?
