The Hidden Blade Assassin's Creed in Depth

The first clip is me doing an idea called a Ghost Kill, the basic goal being to kill the captain without being seen at all by any guards, and without killing anyone else or being seen after wards. Similar to a Mysterious Death, but without the poison.

Another idea for a challenge is to kill the captain with your fists only, by getting real close to him, and punching him from the front. I might try this out on other towers, but I would have to replay the game. And with Revelations coming out, I doubt I will ever bother.

In order to get this guy away from the tower, simply let him see you and then hide from him. Its really easy to become anonymous because he uses a rifle for a weapon. Meaning if you hide in a haystack out of sight no matter how close he is to you, he wont search the haystack as he doesn't have the right weapon. After chasing you instead of going back to the tower he will roam around the map.

However once he reaches a certain distance from you, he turns around and comes back. I used this opportunity for a long range gun kill, but I have no idea what the distance as his icon disappears.

If you run more than 53m away from him while he is roaming around, another captin will spawn at the tower. He will always be afraid of you when you return to him if you kill the original. I think I managed to clone like 4 captains when making the video, but wasn't able to repeat it.

Finally, something I didnt show, is after you become anonymous it is nearly impossible to approach him without being seen. Once you get in certain range, even if you approach from behind, he will turn around and will get alerted. Also once you have been exposed his health increases a lot, it takes like 3 gun shots to kill him.
