Assassin's Creed Walkthrough Memory Block Seven
Altair is back in Masyaf. The streets are completely
deserted except for a few people who talk in slow but deliberate
sentences - the universal sign that they have been brainwashed.
Before reaching the gates of the Assassin Headquarters,
Altair is ambushed by a pack of assassins who fight exactly like the Templars. When
they have been killed, Malik calls out to him. The one-armed assassin had found
Robert’s journal which confirmed that Al Mualim is indeed the 10th
templar and is double-crossing the Assassin’s Guild. Altair wants Malik to
create a diversion by attacking the rear of the fortress so he can sneak in and
find Al Mualim.
The front door of the library is completely blocked by
Masyaf’s villagers perfectly arranged a final push-through for old time’s sake.
The desk is empty and the only place to go is out into the garden. Altair gets
grabbed my some magical force and of course it is Al Mualim controlling him. It
looks like he is holding a glowing poke-ball. Then, the bureau chief sends all
the dead Templars to fight Altair.
The resurrected boss characters gather round in that same
formation and attack style that we have seen this whole game. It is ridiculous
looking, it’s like I am being attacked by a grown up version of it’s a small
world afterall. You would think having been resurrected from Templar Limbo they
would be super powered or at least on fire. But no such luck. They even fight with
the same style. Shouldn’t the ones trained by the Saracens fight with those fat
scimitars like the bad guys in Indiana
Jones. And why not give one of the Crusader knights a giant lance. And what if
Abu’l Nuqoud attacked you with a giant salami that he has yet to eat. Change it
up. Don’t make me the same soldiers just re-skinned with the old boss textures.
Fight them the same way you would any other pack of
guards. When the Templars are dead, Altair pleads for Al Mualim to face him. Al
Mualim doesn’t. Instead, he clones himself using the Piece of Eden.
You only need to kill the real Mualim to advance, so scan all of the copies
with your eagle vision. The yellow one is the real one.
The battle didn’t accomplish anything because Al Mualim
still has the yellow poke-ball and Altair is still imprisoned by it. According
to Al Mualim, he tried to control Altair with the Piece of Eden be he was
unaffected by its power. The secret to the Piece of Eden is that it creates
illusions that most people believe. Al Mualim says that Jesus was just a
regular guy who had the Piece of Eden and used it to manipulate his followers
into thinking he was casting miracles such as walking on water, turning water
into wine, and probably resurrecting Lazarus. The game doesn’t really say that in
those exact words because if they had, Jade Raymond would have had to go on the
O'Reilly Factor. Instead, the writers just stuck the phrase “water for wine” in
with a bunch of other miracles that people don’t care/know about.
Al Mualim puts away the ball and gets into his fighter’s
pose. His attack style is again that standard street knight style except that
now he can teleport and you have play hide-n-go-seek throughout the garden. Teleport?
Your health is down to nothing but, if you hit him first (even though he
blocks) it is restored. So, chase him around, hit him once, and then counter
his attack to commit assassinside.
Blackhawk Down:
As the Piece of Eden rolls out of Al Mualim’s hand he
says that “the student does not defeat the teacher.” He accepts his fate and
commends Altair on capturing the Piece of Eden but asks if he has the strength
to destroy the one thing that could end the Crusades.
With the death scene over, Altair walks over to the
object and it projects a holographic globe with several dots in locations
around the world. For a second I thought that was everyone who was playing Halo
3 in the year 1198. Vidic’s voice comes on saying “we’ve got it."
