Blending is the slowest method of movement in Assassin's Creed. When Blending, Altaïr moves very slowly, so as not to arouse suspicion. If he is on foot, he will lower his head and imitate a Scholar. Altaïr can even blend in with a group of scholars for extra security. If he is on a horse, he will just move very slowly. When guards are Informed (drawn swords), Blending is the best way of avoiding attention.
Usage
To Blend, while in Low Profile, hold the Feet button (
on PS3, A on Xbox 360 or the Space Bar on the PC's default layout). Informed guards (with swords drawn) are much less likely to notice you if you Blend.
When not to blend
Blending is not always effective. Some examples of when blending is ineffective:
- You approach a Templar (they always recognize Altaïr very quickly).
- You approach a stationary guard (or guards). They will always push you back, even if you Blend. If you join a group of Scholars, however, they will always let you pass through.
- You are being chased by guards. Without a group of Scholars, Blending does not act as a hiding spot. If there is a group of Scholars, however, you can use them as you would any other hiding spot.
Scholars
Altaïr can unlock Scholars (as well as Vigilantes) by completing Save Citizen side missions. Scholars patrol the 3 cities in groups of four, moving in a diamond formation. If Altaïr approaches an unalarmed group and Blends, he will lower his head, join the group, and walk with them automatically. He may leave at any time by pressing the Feet button again.
When Blending in a group of Scholars, Altaïr is even better concealed than when he blends normally. If Altaïr is being chased by Guards and he breaks their line of sight, he may use Scholars as he would any hiding spot. By approaching them, Blending, and joining the group, he is in effect entering a moving hiding spot.
In addition, guards will always step aside to allow a group of scholars through, even in situations where they would not do the same if it were just Altaïr blending. This can prove very useful for getting into restricted areas.
