Eavesdropping

"Never make eye contact, always look occupied, stay relaxed."

―Al Mualim teaching a younger Altaïr the ways of stealth.

Eavesdropping was a form of Investigation in the High Middle Ages.

Method

To begin an Eavesdropping Investigation, locate an Eavesdropping target. The target may be quickly located by using Eagle Vision, which would make them glow white and stand out of a crowd.

Once at the objective, Altaïr found a bench near the target and sat down. Afterwards, he locked on to the target and eavesdropped.

The camera will then zoom in on the target and anyone they are speaking with, and a short conversation (usually regarding information on an assassination target) will be heard.

Trivia

• If Altaïr is being chased by guards, they may disrupt the mission.
