The Hidden Blade Assassin's Creed in Depth

Here's a description of the video.

Eagle dive: Eagle dive is the same concept as eagle strike except that you perform a ledge assassination instead of an air assassination. (another creative way to stunt your targets) The best time to drop is right after Emilio says "I've worked too hard for this", then grasp a ledge at the right moment and perform the stunt in either low or high profile.

Eagle Strikes: There are two different eagle strikes I perform on this target. One is done at the last moment before he escapes on the boat. Jump to the left and grasp the ledge above the door. The other is similar to the first eagle strike ever done on Emilio, except the timing has to be precise since you might bump into a wall while performing an air assassinate. Climb to the top of the chimney, face the right way and jump forward.

Start infiltrating the palace in super/hyperblend: You can get in the palace while using the blending exploit, but it will be short-lived because when you activate the scene Ezio will be put in a standing position. It's at least useful to get in there undetected and to stealthily kill guards and archers.

Bonus Material: I airwalked into the palace from a tall tower and grasped a ledge inside to keep from dying. I got into open conflict and climbed up the wall to start the scene. It didn't show the scene at all and the target immediately ran. Carlo couldn't get out since the door wouldn't open all the way. Emilio didn't show up as a target on the minimap, there was no scene when I assassinated him, and it showed the arrows from the next scene shoot on the ground beside me.
