Assassin's Creed Cheats, Codes, Cheat Codes, Walkthrough, Guide, FAQ, Unlockables for Xbox 360
Completion bonus
Successfully complete the game. When the Memory Blocks
are played again in Story mode, you can kill anyone without
penalty. Additionally, you will be able to use Eagle Vision at
any time regardless of Synchronization levels inside of the
Animus.
Escaping from guards
Go to a high roof when chased. Kill the guards that appear.
After a few kills, they will either run or give up.
Easy citizen missions
When helping a citizen, do not just attack the guards. Hold
LT and press X with the dagger ready. This will eliminate one
of the guards and give you a better chance. Sometimes you
can assassinate two guards before they notice you.
Easy kills
Equip your hidden blade. Press B to throw an enemy to the
ground. While they are lying on the ground, press X to stab
them. This is especially useful when surrounded by enimies
or when assassainating targets. -From: Graeme Todd
Note: Only attempt this technique if you are fluent in the
Rank 2 skill "Counter" and have enough Synchronization
bars; one and a half rows of bars will do. When in battle,
equip your hidden blade. With this equipped, all of your
counters will score an instant kill. You can even instantly kill
tougher ranked guards (for example, the Teutonic guards in
Acre when hunting Sebrand). Also, most of the time using
the hidden blade in battle will scare the last one or two (even
three if you are lucky) guards, causing them to run away.
However, because you do not have a weapon that is
sufficient enough to block a full sized enemy blade, all
incoming attacks will hurt you.
While in battle, if you see a guard you are fighting physically
emote in any way (for example, taunting you or cowering in
fear), press Low Profile Assassinate while facing them to
score an instant kill without having to counter.
The best weapon for more than four guards or thugs is the
Short Blade.
Easier interrogations
After you get the "target" to a safe area to "interrogate"
them, punch them first, then "grab" them for faster
completions. It will take about two grabs to quickly finish
them. However, in the last three quarters of the game, you
may have to grab them up to four times.
Easier game
To lower the time needed to complete the game and
decrease the difficulty of each major assassination, do the
following in order (with the exception of Masyaf):
Visit the Assassin's Guild.
Scan the city by first climbing all of the view points.
Rescue all the citizens from the thugs. You will need the help
after a major assassination.
Successfully complete all of the informant's missions (to get
all the valuable information you can).
Pickpocket the shysters in all of the pickpocket missions (for
information to the Guild).
Once all of these are completed, go back to the Assassin's
Guild to start the major assassination mission.
Unlocking doors
When you go to bed after Memory Block 2, you will notice
your closet door is open. Press any button to get a piece of
paper Desmond notes as a code. The code will unlock your
bedroom door, which will allow you to be able to go out as
often as you like after you go to bed, as well as to open the
meeting room area. You can also pick up various items to
unlock Lucy's password.
Successfully complete the game, and allow the credits to
end. You will be given the access code for the computer
attached to the Animus. Hack the computer to access an
inbox, outbox, and deleted message. Look at the inbox and
choose the email about the conference room. You can go to
the conference room and access it via the keypad.
Decoding e-mails from Lucy's computer
One item you can pick up after being able to unlock your
bedroom door is Lucy's password. You can then investigate
her e-mails, which entail a short secondary story line. After
you complete the last Memory Block, go back outside your
room. Go to Lucy's computer. In "Deleted Items" is an e-
mail which entails her talking to someone about a rescue,
then the last reply comes back as:
WondEr Why It is everyone Laughs at you?
i'll Let you guess.
let's just say she's proBably gEtTing it bigger and better from
someone else tHat isn't you.
how can you hope to compEte?

Hidden messages
After killing Al Muaiam and returning to the real world, listen
to the conversation about how they going to kill you. Turn on
your Eagle Vision, and look at the floor. There are some
mixed up letters on both sides of the Amnius. You should
see on the side closest to the main door:
M O R Y M N O E S
E N C E O L C H T
H O N B T L O T C
T D E O S A T O A
P E D S N L S T F
L D D U O O E T E
E A I E I R I N T
H S H K T T K E R
T U A A A N S S A
To decode this, start reading at the bottom right hand corner
to the top right hand corner, so you will start at "A" and stop
at "S". It will spell a real word. Do this for all of the columns
and it will read:
ARTEFACTS SENT TO THE SKIES TO CONTROL ALL NATIONS
TO MAKE US OBEY A HIDDEN CRUSADE DO NOT HELP THEM
Next, do the same thing to the mixed letters on the other
side of the Amnius:
A
D R H
O O D T M
W H B I T D O
E U S Y S I N S E
A R O O M R E A Y N R
I S E Y T N I D L M I D E
T W I H W Y I E A U D A Y H T
It will spell out:
THEY DRAINED MY SOUL AND MADE IT THEIRS I DRAINED
MY BODY TO SHOW YOU WHERE I SAW IT
Assassinations
Loud assassination: Hold LT + RT and press X. You can do
this while running up to a guard, and it almost always works
from any angle. However, it is noisy and causes civilians to
run for guards.
Silent assassination: Hold LT and press X. It has less of a
chance of working, and works best when used behind guards
so no one hears you.
Assassination in Jerusalem
When you go to Jerusalem and do the assassination with the
guards surrounding you, do not try to fight them off.
Instead, turn around and run up the ladder to get to the
second floor. A short intermission sequence will show your
target running away and up another ladder. Hold RT + A and
run across the chandeliers. The ladder will be to the right.
Run up the ladder, and another short intermission sequence
will show your target on top of another building. Chase him
down, and have your wrist blade enabled (press Up). Then,
press LT to lock onto your target while still chasing him
down. When you get close enough, the word "Assassinate"
will appear for X in the upper right of the screen. Press it to
complete your task. After another intermission sequence,
evade the guards by jumping onto building roofs, hiding, etc.
Make your way over to the bureau to complete the memory.
Defeating Al Mualim
When fighting the Master, he will take away your ability to
use radar and make it difficult to see. This also allows him to
hit you once and kill you. Lock on to him, and use a throwing
knife against him. This will take away his power to blind you
and make him easier to kill.
The first part is simple. Take out your sword, as you will be
fighting all your previous assassination targets. They are
fairly easy to kill. Only one counter is required to kill each of
them. For the second part, as soon as Al Mualim releases
you, use your Eagle Vision. The real Al Mualim is the one in
yellow. Focus your attacks on him. In the third part, Al
Mualim takes away your synchronization bar and radar,
allowing him to kill you in one hit. Take out your throwing
knives. Look for the Piece of Eden in his hand. Once you see
him, throw a knife at him. Then, just counterattack/grab
break him. Keep repeating this until he says, "Damn you
Altair!" Finish him off with your hidden blade or keep
attacking him with your sword until he is dead.
Defeating Templars
When initiating combat against a Templar, press LT to lock
on to him. Then, quickly equip the hidden blade. Wait for
him to attack you so that you can counter attack, killing him
in one blow. This is better than the sword fight. If you
counter with the sword, you will only knock him down and
not kill the Templar.
Defeating William of Montferrat in Acre
After the guards (or most of them) leave William, drop down
from the castle, and slay William. Then, "de-target" or
deselect, and run up into the castle buildings and battlement
to get away. This is the fastest way of completing the
mission.
Easy "Eagle's Challenge" achievement
In Memory Block 1, after Al Mualim sends you to defend the
fortress against the Templar attack, wait at the intersection/
fork that is about 135 feet from the destination, just after
the hill/path that leads to the Creed building. Guards will
continuously respawn down the right fork. You can just
stand still and kill 25 guards as your status will never leave
"exposed" until you go to the destination.
Go to the entrance of Acre, but go through Kingdom. There
is a base of soldiers. Start killing them, but do not finish all
of them. Start running to gather more. Kill a few, then run
again. Do this until you get the achievement. If you take long
time, you may also unlock the "Eagle's Flight" achievement.
Easy "Eagle's Dive" achievement
In Masyaf, go to the castle. Enter the training arena, and
choose the option for combo kill. When you succeed three
times, the match will end. Select it again, and continue until
you get the achievement.
Easy "Eagle's Flight" achievement
When you first reach Damascus and must save the citizen,
kill two of the three guards. Back yourself into a stall or a
corner that you cannot be pushed out of, then hold RT to
guard. In ten minutes you will get the achievement. You can
also put a rubber band around your controller and RT, and
allow the game to idle.
Easy "Eagle's Will" achievement
In the area after you first start the game, just after you see
the Knights Templar, enter the room containing the Ark Of
The Covenant. Move towards the ladder in front, and jump
to the left of it, as if to grab onto the ledge on the wall. You
should fly through the wall and land behind it on a square
outline. Walk towards the middle of this square, and you will
fall through, dying shortly afterwards. After you die, you
should get the "Eagle's Will" achievement.
Easy "Gifted Escapist" achievement
Go into any of the main cities. It is probably easiest to go to
Damascus, Poor District. Find a merchant stand, and start
hopping through it. If you can find two that are next to each
other, it saves time. Keep jumping through the merchant
stand(s) until you get the achievement.
Easy "March of the Pious" achievement
This achievement is probably easiest to unlock in Damascus.
Save the citizen in front of the main gates if you have not
already done so. If you have already done that, go to the
scholars. Blend in with them. As they get past the main array
of guards, start pressing Deblend continuously. You should
be going in and out of blend mode continuously. After a
short time, you should get the achievement.
Easy "Visions of the Future" achievement
After you complete the game, walk to your bedroom, and
use Eagle Vision on the wall behind your bed. Scan it from
left to right, and then the credits will begin. Once they end,
you will get the achievement. -From: kodiak4wheelin
Transformers reference
Go to the southwestern-most vigilantes in the poor district
of Damascus. On one of the buildings around them, you
should see an outcropping in the wall, climb on it to see it
looks exactly like G1 Optimus Prime in vehicle mode. Note:
There may be more than one outcropping in the area, so
look carefully. If you lose sight of the vigilantes, you have
gone too far.
