The Hidden Blade Assassin's Creed in Depth

There are several easy ways to complete this mission, most of which I don't bother to show in this video:
1) Smoke bomb.
2) Poison delays the death of the Brute, which also delays the start timer.
3) Special attack with multiple throwing knives.
4) Arrow storm.

It's an honor for me to introduce the first Featured Member of the new year, Aurel (aurllcooljay)! Here are some of his thoughts about Assassin's Creed:

Tell me about the first time you played AC1 and/or AC2.

I remember hearing about AC1 from some people and saw a video about it on Youtube (I think it was the E3 demo). Being one of the first games I played for the XBox360, I had never seen a game like it before. It took a short while to get used to the controls though.

Here are some exploits in the Castello:

Infiltration. After you've been in the Castello the original way will be blocked off. If you have unlocked the parachute you can get in by climbing up to the right of the bridge.

Get in the huddle. You can grasp a ledge that will allow you to climb up to a place to get in the scene by climbing. Climb to the left to get above them and drop down to get in the huddle. Also if you go far enough on the roof you will get a checkpoint, skipping the scene. After the scene you are unable to attack the targets normally and they will disappear.

Preassassinations. You can tackle a target after the scene. You can then do a prone assassination which will then cause the other targets to stay there as long as you don't get too close (listen to what one of them says right before the prone assassination for some humor). I killed them with throwing knives, but didn't get Cesare because he had gone through the gate. You might be able to get him if you are fast enough.

Here is another defensive video for manhunt, this time showing off the mute ability. A new trick me and RomanFighter now use is standing above the lifts. You look like some dumb noob, but if you use mute on there way up you can stun them, and then you can use smokes as they wake up. Just hope they dont have the hidden gun, but if you are skilled you can use the lift structure at the top to block them at the last sec. It works very well with a partner as they also get to use smoke and mute once you run out, and your chance of getting shot is halved!

You must use mute early, it has a larger range than smoke bombs so remember that. Use it too late, they will usually kill you. Remember it is 3 Dimensional, meaning it works above and below, and also through walls.

I got a triple escape in this video, its ugly, but the tunnel area actually worked.

The Carlo Grimaldi assassination is somewhat scripted and linear, so I put as much creativity in this video as possible.

I can't think of any other mission in the entire AC series more scripted than this one. I hope this video can bring a little more fun to this mission.
