Eagle Strike
Free Fall Assassinations

Three new[*] assassination styles demonstrated from Galata Tower. All involve prolongued free fall and, in that sense, are loosely related to the Eagle Strike. Please watch the video first and then join me below the fold for the descriptions.
The Deacon: Eagle Strike from Hagia Sophia Tower

[Front-paged. -stabguy]
I was thinking to make an Eagle Strike from the highest point of Constantinople after the Galata Tower, and I thought about Hagia Sophia towers, that seems the highest towers of all districts (perhaps they're equal to the ones at Fatih Mosque).
I think the Master Assassin mission "The Deacon, Part 2" is the best mission to do it, because you are free to do anything you want with the target before kill him. As i wrote in the video (at 00:35), the Deacon can't be killed by anyone except by Ezio.
So, to get rid of the assassin recruit you have 2 ways:
1st: Attract a group of guards in the conflict (01:40) and wait that your recruit is killed by them (you'll not get desync).
2nd (the one i did here): if your assassin is still alive and he keep fighting the Deacon, just leave the area and come back, and both of them will be freezed (02:42).
After that, you are free to place the Deacon anywhere you like, and kill him.
Since the Hagia Sophia towers are full of haystacks i took a while to find a good position to make the ES, then follow exactly my movements to success in the jump.

As the title says this is an eagle strike from Galata tower (the highest tower in the game?). The target I choose is from a recruit assassin mission The Avenger. I'm not sure if there are any other missions with a target closer to the tower, but I just decided to record this before someone else does.

Watching your recent videos of this mission I tried to do something that wasn't already done by Ian or Aurel. After hours of plannings I finally managed to make an Eagle Strike, plus I added a cool Stunt Assassination from the roof.
I hope you guys enjoy my work

Blitz - Save Rasit El Zubeyid
Rasit El Zubeyid is the second assassin to be executed by the Templar. (The first is Vahid Ahmedi, who is executed at right after the checkpoint.) Rasit's execution is triggered by killing the second guard you encounter on the castle wall or by entering unmarked areas around the site. You can still kill the target despite these efforts by the developers. Run toward the target as shown, and stop just past the guard to quickly throw 3 knives. You are detected, but the target dies quickly enough for a successful mission. Keep your distance from the nearby guard when you throw the knives so that you are not detected prematurely.

Well, I didn't even completed the game, but I liked this mission and I decided to make my first Assassination Variety Pack of ACR! 
Stunt Assassination: This stunt was easy to perform, I found a way to climb on top of the wall and then I waited that the target was aligned to the direction of my jump. Unfortunately the jump was too high, and this made the stunt not very accurate.
