“One climbs, one sees. One descends, one sees no longer. But one has seen.” – Rene Daumal.
The Assassins fascinate us, with their creed and contradictions. Theirs is an interesting philosophy, if only they were not so quick to rely on murder to achieve progress. What did you see when you looked at the world through their eyes? Share with us.
Congratulations, you have completed your first assignment. New ones are now available on the Missions page.

Missions Without Path
Bleeding Edge
The way I see it, the Assassins of today aren’t all killers, but those who are know more ways to kill than a kindergarten’s got crayons. The hunter’s instinct of these warriors can’t be learned from books and whatnot so what are you waiting for? Jump in there and live the life of a predator for a change.
Mission Rewards:
750 XP
Reward: +50 XP
In Assassin's Creed III: Kill 5 enemies using heavy axe smal attacks.
In Assassin's Creed III: Kill 5 enemies by throwing war clubs.

Call me sentimental but there’s something that’s just so… satisfying about smashing enemies with blunt weapons. The Assassins of old generally didn’t resort to brute force, but weren’t afraid to crack a skull every now and again. We can learn from their fine example.
Reward: +100 XP
In Assassin's Creed III: Kill 5 enemies by blowing up powder kegs.
In Assassin's Creed III: Kill 5 enemies with trip mines.
Complete Message
Ahhh, the sweet smell of cordite! I have yet to find a problem that won’t go away with the application of enough explosives. Even the Assassins, usually so careful and quiet, have used them extensively to create diversions and eliminate targets.
Reward: +150 XP
In Assassin's Creed III: Disarm 5 guards during conflicts.
In Assassin's Creed III: Reach a kill streak of 5.
Complete Message
Battlefield control, from the tiniest skirmish to entire battlefronts, is crucial for decisive victories. What Assassins lack in strength in numbers, they make up for with cunning and creativity, snatching victory from the jaws of defeat.

In Assassin's Creed III: Perform 5 assassinations from horseback while outside of combat.
In Assassin's Creed III: Hang 5 enemies using predator moves.
Complete Message
The true warrior makes good use of every asset available on the battlefield. Combat sharpens their minds to the point where action becomes faster than thought, making them true engines of war. I expect as much from you when strapped to those machines.
Stick with me, and I may succeed in turning you scrubs into men and women I’d be proud of.
New Frontier
As fascinating as studying the intricacies of the struggle between Assassins and Templars can be, we can’t ignore the sheer richness of lore and history in which this conflict is steeped. The level of detail encoded in the genetic memories of modern day Assassins opens up countless opportunities for our exploration.
Mission Rewards:
750 XP
Reward: +50 XP
In Assassin's Creed III: Pet 5 domestic animals.
In Assassin's Creed III: Bait 5 wild animals.
Complete Message
Man’s relationship with animals during the American Revolution makes for such a fascinating subject. On one hand, domesticated animals provided the colonists with companionship, protection, and food. On the other, wild animals tried to turn the colonists and their livestock into food.

On Initiates: Open a memory where Connor witnesses a violent colonization act on Initiates.

Reward: +150 XP
In Assassin's Creed III: Replay 2 missions.
On Initiates: Open a medical report of an Animus addict on Initiates.
Complete Message
Animus addiction is a relatively new area of study. Abstergo Entertainment has not been very forthcoming about the risks involved with its latest public project. What little we know seems to indicate there’s significant risk involved, which bears further investigation. Please don’t worry; we’ll make sure you work within acceptable parameters.
Reward: +200 XP
In Assassin's Creed III: Unlock 75% of Fast Travel Points.
In Assassin's Creed III: Travel a distance equivalent from one Fast Travel Point of the Frontier to the other. (800 meters, Fast Travel does not count!)
Complete Message
The distance algorithm of Animus technology has always been, at best, a generous emulation rather than an exact simulation. We need to establish proper distance coefficients so later calculations can be performed within acceptable parameters for our own experiments. Your participation is appreciated. As they say in France, “les voyages forment la jeunesse.”
Reward: +250 XP
In Assassin's Creed III: Collect at least 1 volume of the Almanacs.
In Assassin's Creed III: Bribe 1 Printer.
Complete Message
In spite of our technological advances, the printed page remains one of the most stable forms of data transmission and storage. Therein lies the delicious irony of using the Animus to recover journals and other important historical documents.
Some within our ranks chafe at our slow progress and non-interventionist stance. Yet without proper understanding, any action could cause irreparable harm to our long-term goals.
“Nam non solum scire aliquid, artis est, sed, quaedam ars etiam docendi.”
Rising Star
It is astounding how accurate the social simulations within Animus technology are. You get thrown into whole new universes brimming with historical figures to meet and so many things to accomplish. It is far too much for a single person to take in. We need you. You play as important a role as the rest of us in this grand experiment.

Reward: +200 XP
In Assassin's Creed III: Liberate at least 3 forts.
On Initiates: Open a memory about the siege of an Assassin fortress on Initiates.
Complete Message
The Templars try to change things real sneaky-like, using the world as some sort of chess board. The Assassins prefer to just flip the table and help clean up the mess.

In Assassin's Creed III: Send out 6 Assassins to start riots.
In Assassin's Creed III: Spend 5 minutes fully notorious.
Complete Message
It's a lot of hard work toppling a monolith of secrets and lies that stretches back through recorded history. That's why we're reaching out to you so that we can do it together.
We want you on our team. We're the Initiates. You're not alone.
Packrat
There are some among us who see Animus technology as their own personal battleground, or as some sort of social hub. Worse still, others want to study it until we’ve squeezed all of the novelty out. It is obvious they fail to see the unique opportunity in managing long-lost resources and accumulating unique digital treasures.
Mission Rewards:
750 XP
Reward: +50 XP
In Assassin's Creed III: Collect at least 60% of the Feathers.
In Assassin's Creed III: Snare 3 animals.
Complete Message
My colleagues argue all the time about the symbolic significance of chasing feathers, and collecting scraps of the local wildlife, in the genetic memories of old Assassins. They should learn to appreciate how collecting is a journey worth taking in itself.
Reward: +100 XP
In Assassin's Creed III: Earn £15000.
In Assassin's Creed III: Spend £15000.
Complete Message
The economics of Animus technology are, to put it mildly, borked. No one in his right mind should take them seriously. Yet there’s something fundamentally satisfying in acquiring and disposing of wealth in these simulations. Flash that cash, Initiates!
Reward: +150 XP
In Assassin's Creed III: Complete at least 3 inventions.
On Initiates: Open a memory about an Abstergo inventor explaining his invention on Initiates.
Complete Message
Being a completist is nothing to sneer at. One needs dedication, passion, and a level of bone-headedness that borders on obsession. That drive allows us to power through the most mind-numbing of tasks to achieve our objectives.
Reward: +200 XP
In Assassin's Creed III: Loot at least 60% of Treasure Chests.
On Initiates: Open a memory about a wreck on Initiates.
Complete Message
The lure of treasure, especially when hidden or guarded, is often hard to resist for the adventuring soul. From stories of pirate treasure to tales of plundering dungeons, it’s easy to get swept away in the excitement of it all...
Reward: +250 XP
In Assassin's Creed III: Earn £1500 by sending convoys.
In Assassin's Creed III: Earn £150 by pickpocketing people.
Complete Message
It would be irresponsible if we failed to recognize how vital pursuing completion within the Animus is for our cause. Some would ask you to do it for historical accuracy, or for academic reasons, but really, it’s fine if you do it for glory and bragging rights alone.
