Assassin's Creed
1,000 Gold:
-----------
To get 1,000 gold hold down R1 and L1 then type in
X, X, X, O, O, Triangle, Square.
Kill anyone without a penalty:
------------------------------
After you beat the Game, when you go back to the story mode you can kill
anyone without losing life.
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.
Saving citizens:
---------------
Use the following trick for easy guard fights while saving a citizen. When
trying to "save a citizen",
run in, assassinate one guard with your hidden blade, then lock onto the
closest guard and hold R1.
When the guard comes in to attack, press Square to parry and kill the guard
in usually one smooth,
clean move. Repeat this for all guards to avoid taking damage.
Defeating the Master:
---------------------
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.
Saving citizens:

Use the following trick for easy guard fights while saving a citizen. When
trying to "save a citizen",
run in, assassinate one guard with your hidden blade, then lock onto the

Jerusalem: Assassination:
-------------------------
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 R1 + X 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 L1 to lock
onto your target while still chasing him down. When you get close enough,
the
word "Assassinate" will appear for Square in the upper right of the screen.
Press it and you will 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.
Transformers reference:
-----------------------
Travel 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 and you will see that it looks exactly like G1 Optimus Prime in
vehicle mode. Note that 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.
Loud Assassination:
-------------------
Hold LB + RB and press X to perform this type of assassination which can be
used
when approaching a guard, the only problem is that because it's noisy it
will
alert other guards.
Silent Assassination:
---------------------
Hold LB and press X to perform this type of assassination which is most
effective when used from behind a guard as nobody will hear a thing

to
see hidden messages and tell friend from foe can be used whenever you want
regardless of the synchronization levels of the Animus machine

Easy Achievements:
--------------------
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,
but
I wouldn't trust it. The games AI can sometimes find ways around it,
wouldn't
want to get killed only to find out 8 minutes later.
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:
-----------------------------------------
The "Visions Of The Future" achievement is only unlockable after you've
beaten
the last level of the game, and viewed the credits. Then you return to your
room
and activate the "Eagle Vision" ability. Take a look at the floor, walls and
ceiling, some strange messages should appear. Some of the symbols appear to
be
Japanese, but I'm not sure. There also appears to be some sort of repeating
pattern amongst the symbols.
