Assassin's Creed Walkthrough Memory Block Two

After jacking into the Animus again, we are back into the third crusade. Altair is amazingly still alive after being stabbed by his boss and is standing in front of his desk. Al Mualim says that Altair sees only what he wants him to see and that he was just sleeping the sleep of death. Altair was stabbed so that he could find his peace within and stop being such a dickweed. Mualim could have just taken away his weapons. He didn’t have to stab him with his magic “fake dead” knife. Altair is now “reborn” and has to earn all his weapons back. Like Samus progressing through every Metroid, Altair gains more and more abilities as he gets further.

The first step to regaining Altair’s rank is to ferret out one of the guild’s traitors. Head out of the main library and out to the courtyard. Before descending into the city of Masyaf, Altair is stopped by a fellow guildsman who volunteers to show him the ropes of an assassin investigation. Altair cuts him off like an asshole. How did a jerk like Altair ever secure the chance to pass on his genetics to Desmond?

Follow the icons on your map to find the conversation target. Sit on the nearby bench and listen to the busybodies surmise that the basket maker is in on the scheme. You are prompted to pickpocket the Basket Weaver. This should prove tricky considering flowing robes don’t usually have pockets.

  Find the Basket Weaver by looking at your map. It will be identified by an icon that looks like a hand reaching into a pocket. Well a hand reaching into a rectangle. When you get there listen to a woman complain about her deficit of baskets. When the conversation is over, follow the man lock on to him and when prompted press the arm button. You will steal an incriminating letter from his 12th century fanny pack.

The letter implicates Masun in the attack on the HQ. When you find him, he is standing on a balcony yelling loudly to whoever will listen about the evils of Al Mualim. This guy is in the dark ages, he should really be complaining about a lot more. Such as, the lack of sanitation, restrictive social classes, and the uneven distribution of wealth. Al Mualim is small potatoes compared to that. Anyhow, punch him a few times and he concedes that he works for the Templar Knights and opened the gates because he believes it was right. Submitting to Altair, Masun is brought in front of Al Mualim and freely admits to his crime. Strongly refusing to repent, Al Mualim stabs Masun with a blade much longer and deadlier than that “fake dead” dagger he stabbed Altair with earlier.

Al Mualim then gives Altair that sword saying that he earned the right to wield it. He then tells Altair that he has a list of nine men who must die because their political standing corrupts the land. I guess we just found out who Joseph McCarthy’s distant relative is. Rubbing out these nine will restore Altair’s full rank. The first kill is in Damascus.

When the speech is over, there is a mini animation of Altair examining his newly acquired Assassin’s blade. As pointed out by N’gai Croal in his November 1st Vs. column, this little animation is quoting Link’s item obtaining animations in The Legend of Zelda games.
