The Hangman
Once you gain control, walk up the beach. After a chat with Subject 16, you'll be told how to escape. When you regain control, go through the giant archway in front of you.
A Narrow Escape
When you gain control of Ezio, follow the ghost of Altair. You'll eventually encounter a single enemy. He will have no weapon but neither will you. just keep striking and kicking him. You can also grab him and throw him off the edge. After you've killed him, Altair will reappear. Follow him upstairs, collect your things, and head back outside.
*You'll find a small group of Byzantine Templars. To get Full Synchronization, you must kill one of the templars with a counter attack. Just wait for one of them to attack you, counter it, and then chain it into a full set of executions to get rid of the enemies.
Altair will appear again. Follow him until you get to a point where you are hanging from a ledge and a Templar is hanging around near it. Do a ledge assassination and then climb up. Eventually you will hit another spot that looks very much the same but he will be too far away to reach so you'll have to climb up and assassinate him. Get to the roof and push the statue off.
When you get out of the water, kill the guard. Follow the tunnel to the way point. You'll come to a large room with four enemies below you. Do an air assassination on the closest enemy and then the other three will come for you. Counter the first enemy and chain execute the rest.
A Journal of Some Kind
From the start, run straight ahead and up the stairs. On the other side of the door, run ahead and then to the right. Once you reach the courtyard where the Assassin's used to do their combat training. Go up the left side and confront the four guards there. Climb up the ladder and go around the side of the tower to find four more guards. Kill them and run up the side of the building to the right by using the barrels. At the top, jump off and hit the attack button to pop your parachute. Glide towards the yellow target marker.
*You will have to follow this group of guards through Masyaf. Remember to keep your distance but don't get too far. You must not fail in tailing your target to get Full Synchronization.
A Hard Ride
You'll start this mission being dragged by a cart. Hold on and slide left and right to avoid being hit by rocks and other things. Soon, the rope will begin to break. At this point, you will be allowed to pull yourself up the rope but while you do so, you will be unable to move left and right so be careful with what you choose to do. For the most part, however, you only have to climb up the rope. When you get to the top, you'll gain control of the carriage.
You will continually be slammed into by the enemy who will try to destroy you. You can actually try and destroy them but surviving is really the main goal here. The first carriage that attacks you will be relatively easy, just try and time when you hit him so that he bounces over rubble. The second one is tougher and requires you to bump into him only when necessary. Otherwise, try to avoid him until you get a cutscene.
Wounded Eagle
After the cutscene, you'll be dropped into combat with three enemies. They are nothing special so just chain them together and then head towards the giant water wheel. Turn right and head towards the stairs. You'll find an enemy here that you can assassinate if you're quick. Continue up the stairs and after riding the water wheel, assassinate the guard at the top.
Go back down the tower inside the walls and activate Eagle Vision as prompted. You will see a ghost acting out where the Captain has gone. There is one guard patrolling inside this courtyard so try and make it to the hay on the left side and take him out as he passes. After that, there are two guards in the nearest alley. Wait for them to walk away and kill them. Then head to the southern alley, then east and north so that you come out behind the two other guards in this alley. You can kill both but when you kill the first, the second will notice so you will have to kill him before he can get his sword out.
*The next area will teach you to blend. The path that the captain took will split. Go left but be careful because there are guards around. You want to walk from one group of people to the next and stay with each group until a guard passes. This is a good spot to pick up a couple of haystack kills. When you get through this section, you'll go through a gate into an open area.
After the gate closes, you'll be attacked by three enemies. Kill them all and loot them to get medicine. Then use the medicine to heal and regain all your acrobatic abilities. Go up to the roof of the building on your right. At the back corner, you'll find a haystack so jump in and kill the man right next to it. Head back around the left side (west) and climb the building there. You can tightrope walk across to another building and then there are a couple of guards on roofs here. If they see you, just drop down on the side of a building away from them so that you put the building between them and you. Then just climb up when they turn away and assassinate them. Go all the way north on this side and jump into the haystack.
Go to the waypoint in the north and start climbing the building. You'll be shot at but just keep moving and you'll be fine. You'll get to a point where the screen will point to the left and sort of hint that you should jump towards a very small pole with a rope on it. You DO actually want to jump for that. When you get to the roof, slowly walk up to your target and do your thing.
