Abstergo Challenges

Abstergo Entertainment has, at times, issued a number of challenges for its employees to complete during their work reliving various Animus hosts' genetic memories. Completing enough of these challenges would unlock different Animus cheats, which could be used to enhance the experience. Both the analyst who relived Edward Kenway's life for the Sample 17 Project and the analyst who relived Shay Cormac 's memories were known to have been issued such challenges.
