Assassin's Creed Overview:
Estimated achievement difficulty: 3/10
Estimated time for 1000: 25-35 hours Minimum playthroughs: 1 Missable achievements: 4 Glitched achievements: 1 Offline: All Online: None Cheats disable achievements: N/A Assassin’s Creed does not have very difficult achievements, but there are a lot of collectible object type achievements that can be quite time consuming. There are also a couple missable achievements that this roadmap will prepare you for. As long as you are aware of all the achievements going in, you should be able to 1000 this game with a single playthrough. There are three main cities that you will visit three times each. In your third visit to each city, you will rack up the achievements quickly. You should be aware of http://www.assassinscreed-maps.com/ , as using this site will make your job infinitely easier. Step 1 – Missable achievements – 4 (100) There are four missable achievements that you need to be aware of before you begin the game. This is an open-ended sandbox game, so all the others can be completed at any time, even after beating the game, but these four take constant vigilance through your entire playthrough. - Hungerer of Knowledge: Your first memory glitch comes in your first memory, and every ensuing memory. I got lucky with this one on my first playthrough and got it during my final assassination. Just watch very carefully at every cutscene. - Conversationalist: This is the easiest to miss. I missed this on my first playthrough, and still have no idea where I missed. Just make sure that you talk to Lucy over and over again until she tells you to go lie down, every time you leave the animus. - Disciple of the Creed: This one should come naturally for most completionists. Just make sure that you complete all investigations, highpoints, and save citizen missions in the district BEFORE you carry out your assassination. - Blade in the Crowd: This only has to be done on one target, and most people get it on their first. If you miss this on your first target don’t worry, there are at least three other opportunities. Step 2 – Masyaf – 4 (70) The game starts with a very linear introduction where you learn the controls and the basic premise of the game. There are three storyline achievements right off the bat, then you will be able to explore the city of Masyaf. Get the flags here using http://www.assassinscreed-maps.com/ for your 4th achievement. Step 3 – Linear progression – 20 (550) I strongly recommend that you use http://www.assassinscreed-maps.com/ religiously during your playthrough. The site uses cookies so you can actually check-list the flags that you’ve gotten in case you get interrupted, or find a couple out of order. If you prefer a different method, that’s fine, but make sure that before you start anything story based, you scour the new district for flags, Templars, and high points. Once you have reached all high points, all the investigations and save citizen missions will have icons on your map in the pause menu, and on your HUD. The game will move you from one area to another in a linear fashion, but you can return to any unlocked areas at any time. Just completing everything in the cities in a linear fashion will get you the bulk of your achievements. Make sure that when you finish the game, you get the Visions of the Future achievement before you quit. Note: Absolute Symbiosis is not technically a linear achievement, but completing each district in a linear fashion will net you that achievement as well. Step 4 – The Kingdom - 3 (90) If you are using http://www.assassinscreed-maps.com/ the kingdom is a breeze. Just go to each city, ticking off the kingdom flags that you get along the way. At some point, come through and get all the remaining flags, templars, and high points. If you aren’t using this site, I would recommend not getting any flags at all in the kingdom until you’re ready to do a flag hunting marathon. In addition to the Kingdom Flags achievement, this should complete your kill all templars achievement, and reach all high points. Step 5 – Performance achievements – 13 (190) These are achievements like perform 50 combo kills, or assassinate 100 guards. Most of these will come naturally if you just don’t run and hide much. What I did to ensure that I got these quickly was to try to only kill guards using one method at a time, eg. I only assassinated them, then when I got that achievement, I only used combo kills, etc… The only one that might give you trouble is pickpocket 200(!) throwing knives, since you can only grab 5 at a time. Also, there’s no need to boost Eagle’s dance. If you just leap off every highpoint, you’ll get it eventually. Note: See Eagle’s Will for a reliable glitch. That should be 1000/1000. If you’re missing a flag, just go to http://www.assassinscreed-maps.com/ , clear all the flags in the area that you’re missing and and go through each flag location. Same with templars. Everything else should be apparent. |
Assassin's Creed II Overview: Introduction There is one missable achievement – Flyswatter. During the memory titled “Infrequent Flier” where you pilot Da Vinci’s flying machine, be sure to target an enemy with Step 1: Story Mode Whenever you’re near a viewpoint, try to climb and synchronize it. You'll only need to synch ten for the achievement, but you’ll want to synch as many as you can to reveal more of the map. This is important because you’ll be able to navigate the cities more easily, reveal secondary memory locations related to achievements, and reveal locations of codex pages which you’ll need to have to advance the story later in the game. You'll also need to have most of the map revealed if you plan on using a guide for collecting feathers, and finding glyphs. When you get to Florence, buy at least one painting. When you get to Venice, buy another painting there to unlock Art Connoisseur. When you get to Flori, go to the tailor located dead center of the map. Buy the Wetland Ebony and Wetland Ivory dyes for Perfect Harmony. Whenever you see a group of courtesans, hire them. When you’ve spent 5000 florin on them, you’ll unlock Red Light Addict. At some point, you should go out of your way to do an assassination contract, a beat up event, and win a race. Refer to the in-game map legend to find one of each, when they become available. You’ll unlock Assassin For Hire, Macho Man and Steal Home.You’ll only have to do one of each. You can then toggle their locations on the map and ignore the rest. You should also take some time to complete these achievements whenever you see the opportunity - pick pocket 1000 florins for Kleptomaniac, throw 300 florin on the ground for Man of the People, hide 5 bodies in a single haystack for Street Cleaner, kill 10 guards without being hit in a single fight for No-hitter, poison then air assassinate someone for Doctor, sprint for 100 meters for Lightning Strike, and tackle a Borgia Carrier for Mailman. Also be sure to take the time to talk to the trainer in the Villa and learn how to sweep, and throw sand. Then find and stun four enemies with sand at once, and sweep 5 enemies at once, to unlock Messer Sandman, and Sweeper. In Sequence 3, you’ll be taken to the Villa. Claudia will start keeping a record book. Speak to Claudia to look at the book. At the bottom right, you’ll see your completion percentage. You need to get this to 80% for Podestà of Monteriggioni. First thing you should do is renovate and upgrade all the shops. This will increase the value of the Villa and you’ll earn more florin every 20 minutes. Collect the florin from the chest often, and use that florin to continue upgrading/renovating. Once you’ve done that, you should be earning around 10k every 20 minutes. Use this money to buy paintings, weapons, and armor, which all contribute to the value, and unlock several related achievements. Collectibles will also contribute to the strongholds value. When the credits start to roll, don't walk away from the TV just yet! The game is not quite over, and you'll need to complete that final section to unlock the last story related achievement. Step 2: Collectibles Codex Pages: These aren’t directly related to an achievement, but there is a memory late in the story that requires you to have all 30 to continue. To save some time, you should collect these as soon as you see them, instead of waiting until that memory to do so. There are a few that are story related, and the rest you’ll find scattered throughout the game. Synchronizing viewpoints will reveal their locations on the map. They are usually some guards you’ll have to distract, or kill. Assassin Seals: You’ll have to navigate through 6 Assassin Tombs, and open the sarcophagus at the end of each to collect the seal. Tomb locations will always appear in your map. Some are not available until later in the story. Once you get inside, it’s just the usual free-running you’ll be doing. It’ll be a little more challenging than navigating the buildings on the streets of Italy, but it’s nothing too difficult. It shouldn’t take you more than a few attempts for each. You’ll unlock an achievement for every tomb you successfully navigate. Statuettes: There are only 8 to be found, all inside the Villa. I recommend using the interactive map HERE. Alternate guides HERE, and HERE. Feathers: I liken these to the flags in Assassin’s Creed 1. There are 100 scattered throughout the game. I recommend using the interactive map HERE. Alternate guides HERE, and HERE. Glyphs: When you are near certain buildings, you’ll see a image in the top right corner. If there is a red icon on it, there is a glyph that needs to be found. Once they are found, the icon will turn gray. I recommend using the guide HERE. Alternate guides are HERE and HERE. Puzzle solutions, should you need them, are HERE. Step 3: Clean-up Conclusion |

to kick them. There are plenty of enemies to hit, and after you’ve locked on a target, it’ll do most of the work for you. Any other achievements you happen to miss can be done after you’ve completed the game, and the credits have rolled.
