Combat and guards

Combat and guards 33. Fly Swatter: kick a guard from Leonardo’s flying machine. See the edition warning above. 34. Street Cleaner: put five dead bodies into hay hiding places. Pick them up and actually drop them inside. 35. Messer Sandman: hit four guards with one sand throw. Learn the move at Monteriggioni first, then use it unarmed against a close group. 36. Doctor: poison an eligible target, climb above them, and air-assassinate them before the poison kills them. 37. No-hitter: kill ten enemies in one continuing conflict without taking a hit. Smoke bombs can help; don’t escape halfway through and expect the count to carry over. 38. Sweeper: knock down five guards with one long-weapon sweep. Buy the training, acquire a long weapon, and let the group gather before releasing the move. Side activities 39. Assassin For Hire: finish a Lorenzo assassination contract. This means the optional contract activity, not simply a main-story assassination. 40. Macho Man: complete a beat-up mission defending a woman’s honor. Follow the mission’s nonlethal objective. 41. Steal Home: win a thieves’ race. Watch the next checkpoint and avoid unnecessary climbing detours. 42. Mailman: intercept a Borgia courier. Chase and tackle one when encountered. Money, equipment, and the villa 43. Kleptomaniac: steal 1,000 florins through pickpocketing. Ordinary treasure earnings don’t count. 44. Handy Man: pay the villa architect for a building renovation. 45. Art Connoisseur: purchase at least one painting in Florence and one in Venice. 46. Podestà of Monteriggioni: bring the stronghold’s value to 80%. Renovations help, but equipment and collection progress contribute too. Check Claudia’s ledger. 47. Perfect Harmony: buy and apply both Wetland Ebony and Wetland Ivory dyes in Forlì, one after the other. 48. Red Light Addict: spend 5,000 florins hiring courtesans. Use them during normal missions so the spending serves a purpose. 49. Man of the People: throw more than 300 florins using the money pouch. Keep throwing until it unlocks rather than stopping on an uncertain count. 50. Victory lies in preparation: obtain every required hidden-blade improvement, item-pouch upgrade, and purchasable armor upgrade. Visit Leonardo as the story requires, then finish shopping as stock unlocks. Altaïr’s armor is not required for this particular achievement. PlayStation only: Master Assassin. Unlock the other 50 trophies.
