Roadmap:

Step 1: Story

Within this stage, you are going to want to go through the story getting the fake ending and working on 100% if not attaining it.

Assassins Creed Liberation was originally released on PS Vita and then brought to PS3 as an HD remaster. The game sees you take up the role of Avaline, an assassin with the New Orleans Brotherhood, operated by Agate. The Story will take Aveline from her New Orleans home to the swampy marshland of the Bayou and the lively tropics of Mexico, in her quest for answers. As Aveline searches for answers about the missing slaves she stumbles deeper into the Templar web, and eventually finds herself in an impossible situation with her mentor, and stepmother.

You’ll be earning these trophies:

Sequence 1

Sequence 8
Complete Aveline’s Story

Step 2: Clean Up
After completing the story you should have a few of these trophies achieved through the progression of the Story, you are going to want to collect the remaining things.

Tips and Strategies:

Persona Breakdown:

Unlike other Assassin’s Creed games, Liberation deals with the lead character in a unique way. Aveline does not just need to be an Assassin, this means that she has a wider skill set than previous heroes of the Creed.

Aveline has 3 persona types, which are explained below:

Lady:

The slowest and weakest of the personas for her to use. In this persona, Aveline appears noble and can use her Charm ability to have people follow and even defend her in combat. This outfit also removes Aveline’s ability to climb and makes her big weapons such as a sword and pistol unusable, you do, however, still have her hand-to-hand combat and a special pistol. You will additionally unlock the Umbrella to use as a poison weapon.

Slave:

Probably the most useful of all her outfits, the slave allows her to blend in and access restricted areas without raising suspicion. Like the Lady Persona, you will still be limited on what you are able to achieve, however not so much as the Lady. In this persona, you will still be able to climb and use larger weapons like the sugarcane machete and you will be more or less an all-rounder in terms of stats. There are no real downsides to this persona. Like the Lady, and unlike the Assassin, you will not start at 1 bar of Notoriety.

Assassin:

The Assassin persona is the one that most people will choose to use and only has 1 major flaw, which is you will always be at 1 bar of notoriety. This isn’t as bad as it sounds and is not something that you should worry about. There is no real glaring weakness like for the lady, and the Assassin can use all the weapons and tools that you collect, so picking this would be your best option. Just keep in mind that when free-roaming you will need to play it safe near guards or kill them, they will be suspicious of you in this persona.

Collectables overview:

Throughout the world of Assassin’s Creed Liberation, numerous different items fall under the collectables banner. Not only ones that counts for your trophies:

Collector
Persona Collector

There are also chests that you can collect throughout the game.

Trophy Guide:

Julius Caesar Earn every Trophy.

With the threat of the Templars dealt within the Bayuo and New Orleans you should take this shiny Platinum.

Sequence 1 Complete Sequence 1.

This chapter is just to teach you how to play the game. You will have 3 missions with optional objectives to complete in this chapter. The Trophy will pop when you have learned about the chain kill ability.

Please refer to Complete all Mission Constraints for more information on Missions with bonuses.

Sequence 2 Complete Sequence 2.

This chapter will send you up against your first Templar and introduce you to Citizen E. You will get this after the mission ‘Eve of Saint John’. There are 5 Missions with optional objectives.

Refer to Complete all Mission Constraints for more information on Missions with bonuses.

Sequence 4 Complete Sequence 4.

Here you will be in Mexico investigating the disappearing slaves. This chapter will end upon getting the first part of the Prophecy Disk. There are 5 missions in this Sequence with optional objectives and 4 missions in Sequence 3.

Refer to Complete all Mission Constraints for more information on Missions with bonuses.

Sequence 6 Complete Sequence 6.

In this sequence, you will return to Mexico and hunt down the second piece of the Prophecy Disk. There is 1 mission with an optional Objective in this sequence and 4 in Sequence 5.

Refer to Complete all Mission Constraints for more information on Missions with bonuses.

Sequence 8 Complete Sequence 8.

Within this sequence you will work with your “Brother” from New York, Conner from Assassins Creed 3’s Main Game, to hunt down the Templar Davidson. There is 1 mission with an optional Objective in sequence 8, and 2 in sequence 7.

Refer to Complete all Mission Constraints for more information on Missions with bonuses.

Complete Aveline’s Story Complete the game (fake ending).

Here you will have to confront the Templar master and end the story. There are 3 missions with optional objectives. You will be thrown into the last ending as the credits roll where you will need to reach Citizen E, then the final mission where you will need to kill the Templar master.

Refer to Complete all Mission Constraints for more information on Missions with bonuses.

The Truth Kill all Citizen E and experience the true ending.

There are 6 Citizen E’s located throughout the game, 4 of these you will need to hunt on your own, the other 2 the game will give you. You should know when a hidden sequence is by the look of the animus glitching. If you see this then there is a Citizen E target somewhere in one of the maps.

The Above video outlines the location of the 4 that you will need to find in the open world. What is not noted in the video is that they only spawn after key story events. You will know this by the cut scene glitching like it does the first time you see it. You will also note that when you are within an area for Citizen E you will be notified.

Complete all Mission Constraints Achieve 100% Synchronization in all Sequences.

NOTE: Not all missions have bonus constraints for the 100%. The ones that have bonuses are listed below.

For this, like other Assassin’s Creed Games, after Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood, you will need to not only complete the mission but complete any constraint that is active in the mission. Constraints are little sub-objectives that you need to complete for the trophies, they range from not being detected, not entering combat or killing in a certain manner or not killing.

See the table below for more information on all the constraints in the game.

This should help when you need to go for 100% in each mission with the constraints.

NOTE: IF you have completed all of these and still have not obtained the shiny  then you probably have the Connor’s Way mission installed and you will need to complete it. This mission is located in Sequence 8 and is Mission 2. 

Human Shields Block 10 shots or firing lines with a human shield.

The Human Shield mechanic is introduced to the series in Assassins Creed 3, and you can do this as Aveline. It consists of grabbing an enemy as other enemies are going to shoot at you, this grabbed enemy will be placed in front of you saving your precious health from taking the hit and taking out an enemy.
The fastest and easiest place to do this is in front of the palace and Cathedral. Simply just counter throw with the X Button, till someone tries to shoot you and then grab the closest guard using the X Button.

Refer to the Video if you need more help.

Collector Collect all diary pages, alligator eggs, Mayan statuettes, and mushrooms.

The collectables in Assassins Creed Liberation are similar to others in the series. There are 4 types that you need to collect for this trophy these are:

• Diary Pages
• Alligator Eggs
• Mayan Statuettes
• Mushrooms

You will find Diary pages everywhere there are 30 to collect. Alligator Eggs are only located in The Bayou, there are 12 to collect. Mayan Statuettes are small artefacts that are mainly located in Mexico, however, 2 are located in mission locations, There are 10 to Collect. The Mushrooms are related to the Bayou Fever missions and therefore only in the Bayou, there are 10 to find.

Diary pages are the remnants of Aveline’s mother. As mentioned above there are 30 to collect in total, the first will be given to you by Aveline’s father in a story segment. The other 29 are scattered throughout the game and although they do not fly away like the Black Flag Shanties or 3’s Almanac they are in a similar sort of location, up high or somewhere you aren’t always likely to stumble over them easily.

Diary Pages:

Because there is a wilderness like what is in AC 3’s main game, there are also some things related to it, unlike the other AC games to this point you will be confronted by Alligators. Alligators are deceptively fast on the land and if you are swimming you will not stand a chance. When you approach an Alligator you will be presented with a Quicktime Event where you need to press 3 buttons to kill the Alligator, If you fail you will be thrown off and take some damage. Once the Alligator is dead you will be able to loot the nest and claim your prize. You can also if you are fast enough loot the nest before alerting the Alligator and escape.

Alligator Eggs:

These are small stone icons that are only found in the Mexico region of the game. There are 10 in total and only 2 of them are located in mission locations. These 2 missions are:

• Memory 6 of Sequence 4
• Memory 1 of Sequence 6

To obtain these you will need to complete the missions in order for the collectable to be registered.

Mayan Statuettes:

The Mushrooms are part of the Bayou Fever mission set and should be treated as a fetch quest. The mushrooms grow high up in trees and will require you to tree run whereas the patient will be somewhere on the ground and look like they have been poisoned. You unlock these missions from the bayou healer in Sequence 2 you should hunt down the mushrooms and then hit the patient who is close to the mushroom. This is the most effective way of addressing these.

Mushrooms

Bayou Fever

Note: The Mushroom and Fever collection have been placed together here because they work hand in hand and you may notice that the fever person isn’t too far away from a mushroom. For this reason, it would be best if you do both together, hitting the mushroom location and then heading to the nearest person to administer the mushroom. See Bayou Fever for more information

Persona Collector Collect every persona-specific collectible.

In addition to normal collectables, there are persona-based collectables. Each persona has 10 meaning 30 in total, scattered through the game. These are:

• Assassins Coins
• Voodoo Dolls
• Jewelled Brooches

For the Assassin, you will need to find the Assassins Coins, for the Slave you will need to find Voodoo Dolls, and for the Lady, you will need to find Jewelled Brooches. you can only collect the respective collectable using that persona, this means that the Slave can not collect the Coins for example.

Assassin:

To get the coins you will need to kill or knock out the targets that hold them, they are identified by a coin-falling image when in the Assassin Persona. Once done you will need to loot the person, you could also pickpocket them.

Assassin Coins:

Slave:

The person you are looking for in the Slave persona, who is holding a Voodoo Doll, looks like a native American. You should use your pickpocketing skills to get the Voodoo Dolls, they look like crosses on the map.

Voodoo Dolls:

Lady:

This persona is a pretty unique one, you will be limited in this persona, and you can’t do things like climbing, but you can charm certain individuals some of these individuals have the brooches you want. They are only located in New Orleans and look like an envelope on the map.

Brooches:

Machete Kill 5 guards in 15 seconds using only the Sugarcane Machete (without using the Chain Kill).

This might sound a little daunting, however, it is actually rather easy. As the trophy states, you are not allowed to use Chain Kills, which you learn at the end of sequence 1. The best way you can do this is by chaining from a previous kill, like what was introduced in Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood. Just Counter kill 1 guy then link in 4 more kills, it shouldn’t be too difficult to achieve this outside the palace.

Alternatively, if you need some guidance Powerpyx has a good video that can be seen below.

Machete:

Survivor Survive 10 animal encounters.

To encounter any hostile animal you are going to need to be in the Bayou, you will be introduced to this in the story. Simply hunt down the Alligator eggs and you should get this along the way. There are some cats that will attack you in the bayou but it’s best to stick with the Alligators guarding the eggs, as they do respawn and the locations are set at the nests. Refer to Collector for more information on the Egg locations.

Shipmaster Buy the maximum number of ships (8).

You do this in the Trading system, introduced in the story. You can access the Trade System in shops after you have learnt about it. For this trophy, you will want to buy any 8 ships filling your docking capacity in 2 ports. Each port can hold 4 ships, you should pick a port that you are happy with and buy 4 ships for that port. It is recommended that you look at the best deal that you can make, for example, if you buy tobacco in Cuba your best sell point might be New York. This will allow you to make some money while using the Trading system, which you will need, in addition to this a ship with the best cargo capacity is what you should be looking for. This will allow you to transport more goods, meaning you will make more money than with a ship that has Speed over Capacity.

Swamp Queen Tree run for 10 branches without touching the ground.

This is really easily done in the first mission in Sequence 2, and even if you miss it then you should obtain this as you work your way through the game. At the beginning of Sequence 2, you will need to tree run, this will be your first opportunity to get this and it is the easiest point to do it. All you need to do for this trophy is not leave the trees till the trophy is complete. Just make sure you don’t leave the trees till this pops and it’s that simple.

Death by Poison Kill an enemy with a poison dart.

You shouldn’t miss this as it’s an optional objective. See Complete all Mission Constraints for more information.

To get it if you miss the opportunity in the mission you will need to equip the blowpipe, take aim at a guard and shoot him. When it kills him you will get the trophy. This could be combined with Predator.

Secret Lives Complete all persona-specific side missions.

This trophy is like the Persona collectables, you will have missions for each persona. It is recommended to work on this at the same time you are completing the work on the Persona Collectables, this way you will only need to run around the maps once to get both sets of collections done. These missions are shorter than main missions and easier, however, they will take you away from your start location meaning that you will need to run back there every time.

Assassin

Contracts

These are simple tasks where you perform your assassin duties, there are 5 in total.

1. Delayed Justice
2. The Snitch
3. Free Delivery
4. Safe Passage
5. Pigeon Hunt

Slave

Detective

These are quests where you need to solve a crime of sorts. They are really not that hard, just basically follow the clues, there are 5 in total. The first 3 are in New Orleans and the last 2 are in the Bayou.

1. Helping Hand
2. The Case
3. Hot Trail
4. Witness Protection

These are like the Business rival missions and like the other persona’s, missions are easy. There are 5 in total.

1. Barely Made It
2. Payback
3. Breadcrumbs
4. Bon Voyage
5. Old Friends

You will need to use the persona that you want to get the mission for, so the Assassin for Contracts, and so on. You will also need to check the Bayou for the last 2 missions in the Slave set. Once you have completed all 15 you will get the trophy, don’t forget you can track your progress in the tracker. 

Umbrella Kill 25 enemies with the Parasol Gun.

The Parasol Gun is limited to the Lady Persona and is essentially the Blowpipe for the other personas. You will get this through the natural progression of the story, the same rules apply, aim and shoot, you have fast poison and berserk darts. Kill 25 like this and you will get the trophy. The best place to do this is at the palace/ Cathedral where you farm the Human Shields, just walk around and shoot the guards you see if you run out of ammo go to the nearest store or smuggler.

My 1st Dressing Chamber Buy your 1st Dressing Chamber.

You will get this in an early mission in Sequence 1. This is a story-related trophy and is a mission objective in Sequence 1, therefore you will not miss this trophy and is highly likely that it is your first trophy. Gerald will provide you with the money to go and pay for your first dressing chamber to help you complete the mission, this will unlock them to buy after the mission.

Buy All Dressing Chambers Buy every Dressing Chamber.

Dressing Chambers are a place where you can change the persona you are currently using, they are scattered around both New Orleans and the Bayou. They cost 500 each and are easy to see on the map by the person icon on the map.

Thief Pickpocket 5000 écu.

Pickpocketing in the Assassin’s Creed games is nothing new, however, only pickpocketing will count for this trophy. You can get it in any persona and is easy enough to do, however, obtaining enough for the trophy will take some time to do to random guards and civilians. The recommended and fastest way to get this is to gain full notoriety in the Assassin Persona and bribe a Magister,  from here all you need to do is pick his pocket. You should only need to do this 2 or 3 times in order to obtain the trophy. 

Hangman Perform 10 predator moves using the Whip.

There are 2 constraints you must meet for this trophy. The first is that you have made it to Sequence 4, and the second is that you are standing on a branch or rope. The reasons for these are as follows:

• The Whip unlocks in Sequence 4
• You need to perform the Hangman move, which can only be performed from one of these 2 locations. If you try this from a flat platform or roof Aveline will just strangle the target.

To use the Hangman move you need to use the Triangle Button + Left Stick Pulled Back with the Whip equipped. This will make Aveline drop down behind the branch still holding the whip and plant it in the ground on reaching it, you will also see the guard that you grabbed shoot up in the air and assume the Hanged Man position. Do this a total of 10 times and the trophy is yours.

One Watch is not Enough Collect all the pocket watches.

For this trophy you will need to buy up all the Pocket watches in the game, they are held in stock by smugglers based in New Orleans and the Bayou. As you look through them they will increase in price so farming some money in the trading system would be a good idea. There are 10 in total that will set you back around 180,000

Above are the watches that you will need to get the trophy.

Poison Use berserk poison to force an enemy to kill 5 enemies.

Your best chance at doing this is to shoot a captain with the dart and hope he kills enough in the time, or before he is killed. Captains are tougher opponents and you can find one in the Palace grounds, Simply shoot him with the umbrella or blowpipe and wait and see, if it doesn’t work come back in a little while to try again when he is back.
Alternatively, you can find a captain and enough enemies in Sequence 3 Mission 4, when you need to get to the convoy of slaves. Instead of killing all the guards yourself take advantage of the situation and let the captain kill them off. If you fail to do it you can also restart the checkpoint.

RHP Master Synchronize all viewpoints.

Viewpoints like in any other Assassin’s Creed game, are scattered throughout the game, they are indicated by an eagle icon on the map. In normal fashion, they are the tallest structure around, depending on where you are in the game that could be a Mayan temple, a New Orleans Cathedral or a great big tree. Like in Connor’s story, Assassin’s Creed 3, you will have the Fog of War to clear from the map so you can see things. You can do this in 2 ways, the first by running around the map and manually clearing it, the second is by climbing up a viewpoint and synchronizing to get the fog of war cleared around you and one step closer to the trophy. This can be achieved as early as chapter 4, if you have all the viewpoints in New Orleans and the Bayou.

Business Woman Complete every Business Rivals mission.

As the name and description imply you will have to take care of a rival business to help Aveline’s thrive. You do this by eliminating the rival business owner, this will free up the area stores for you to purchase and gain a discount. There are 7 business rival missions, upon completing them the shops around New Orleans, and in the Bayou will be yours to buy. You will find these missions by the Crosshair icon on your map, they shouldn’t give you any trouble and are rather fast to complete.

Ship Crew Complete every Ship Crew mission.

Ship Crew missions are missions that are given to you by Captain Dominguez, who you meet in Sequence 1. There are 3 in total and can be identified by the crew icon on your map. Although there are only 3, 1 of which can prove troublesome. These start to become active at the beginning of Sequence 5, to gain your first you will need to find Captain Dominguez.

Bayou Fever Complete every Bayou Fever mission.

These aren’t really missions, what you need to do is collect up the Mushrooms, and head over to a fever victim, indicated by a skull. They are all located in the Bayou, and in relatively close proximity to one another. You will know the Fever missions by the skull icon and Mushroom icon on your map.
Refer to Collector for more information on the location of Mushrooms and Fever people

Liberation Complete every Free Slaves mission.

Slave missions are small missions where, as the name implies, you will need to help slaves. If you are familiar with Freedoms Cry and Adwalle you may see a resemblance between these missions and what he did, by freeing slaves, however, the main difference between them is that Aveline will need to enter a mission state rather than interfere with a world event. There are 3 missions that you can complete after sequence 3, these are identified by the fist icon on your map. The first is a follow-up mission from the main story, you will find the second in New Orleans and the Third in the Bayou. 

Predator Kill an enemy from a tree, with the blowpipe, while using eagle vision.

For this trophy, all you need to do is get to the Bayou and get the Blowpipe in mission 2. The rest of the requirement is easy, all you have to do is climb a tree, enter eagle vision and kill a guard with the blowpipe. If you happen to be struggling there is a guard near the main entrance to the Bayou.
