Vive la Résistance was a virtual representation of one of Eivor Varinsdottir's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan through the Portable Animus HR-8.5.
Eivor spoke to Pierre to discuss about aiding the Frankish Rebels.
Having survived Engelwin's attack on Melun, Eivor made plans to travel to Paris to hunt him down, but barely moved one step before Pierre called out to her.
Eivor walked over to Pierre's outpost and spoke with him.
From then on, Pierre would offer Eivor the options to take on Rebel Missions, as well as whether or not to return to England.
Pierre showed her the list of available missions. She may have declined the available missions for the time being.
Inside the tavern, Eivor read a note addressed to one of the rebels.
Folded Letter
In time, Eivor began undertaking missions, either in groups with allied rebels or solo, to aid the rebel cause. As Eivor completed these missions and reported back, Pierre offered praise in a variety of ways.
After her first victorious mission, Eivor's Infamy spread quickly and inspired more people to join the cause. Returning to Pierre, she found him besieged by a mewling kitten.
Eivor approached him to deliver her report, then spoke with him more casually.
Eivor continued her missions. Seven more increased her Infamy to a new height, at which she reported back to the main outpost in Melun. New recruits had joined the cause and were in high spirits about Pierre's feline tag-along.
Eivor delivered her report for the preceding mission and gave her own commentary on the cat.
Eivor returned to work, clearing a dozen more missions and pushing her Infamy to the highest level in Francia. The outpost in Melun had developed into a bustling hub full of drink, merriment, and hope for the future.
Near Pierre, Eivor found a journal he had kept.
Pierre's Diary
She spoke with Pierre to deliver her report, then spoke to him about the revelry.
They gathered at tables around the side of the outpost, where many rebels were seated and drinking enthusiastically.
Pierre took a deep swig from his mug.
Pierre smiled and turned to address the crowd.
Eivor shook her head with a smile.
The crowd murmured in approval while Pierre took another swig.
Pierre looked at her quizzically.
Pierre and Eivor laughed together and the celebration eventually winded down.
Eivor assisted the Frankish rebels in eliminating the influence of the Franks loyal to King Charles III.
Aside from one line of dialogue at the end of Majesty in the Dark—which strictly references whether or not the Rebel Missions have yet been unlocked—there are no other references in the entirety of the Siege of Paris DLC to the missions themselves or Eivor's progression within them, and they do not affect the ease or difficulty of subsequent memories or the final outcome of the campaign.
The Infamy mechanic dictates not only which Rebel Missions become available, but which rebel upgrades and pieces of the Reaper's Armor Set the player can purchase. Level 2 is achieved after completing a single mission, Level 3 is achieved after 7 more missions, for a total of 8, and Infamy maxes at Level 4 with 12 more missions after that, for a total of 20. In this respect, there is no extra benefit for completing missions that are further away from outposts, the difficulty of the objective, or conducting a mission solo or with rebel allies; for the purposes of maxing Infamy, the objectives that are most quickly reached, completed, and turned in will accomplish this goal with the greatest expedience.
Missions can be repeated infinitely, including ones that were just completed, though a mission's exact location/route tends to cycle between a couple of objectives. Players who develop a preference or rhythm for a particular mission location may be able to optimize and complete its missions 20 times, thus filling the Infamy bar in a more timely fashion than doing several different missions across Francia once or twice.
Missions that are labeled as "Nearby" to an outpost will only reward 150 silver denier, whereas those that do not have the 'Nearby' label will reward 200. However, the criteria by which the game considers a mission nearby or "far away" does not appear to be measured simply in raw proximity. In one particular example, players can take one of a pair of missions in Melunois that sends players after an enemy patrol/escorted target along the route between Stampis and Lisieux (or Charles's Forward Camp), which is not treated as Nearby to either Pierre's outpost in Melun or the considerably closer rebel outpost in Chartres. Starting from either outpost will thus provide the "not-Nearby" payout, and the latter of which is roughly 200m from the objective, allowing for the objective to be reached, completed, and turned in relatively quickly.
Missions will be added as new regions of Francia are discovered. For example, missions directing to Silmesnil will appear after crossing the border into Evresin, and missions directing to as far away as Meledus and Suessionum will appear after a single step into Amienois. Locations such as these are further afield and have more intricate enemy placements, and their availability will make it more difficult to draw comparatively easier missions from the pool. Thus, it behooves players to start the Rebel Missions as soon as they complete Warlord of Melun.
