Storylines
Part 1 of 7 in Sequence 5: The Perils of Business
Found in
- City of LondonThe City of London is the borough of banks, trading halls and tall stone offices on the north bank of the Thames. In 1868 the Templar Bloody Nora runs it through the Blighters, and you take it from her by clearing her lieutenants, strongholds and factories before a final gang war.
- Monument to the Great Fire of LondonThe Monument is Christopher Wren's column in the City of London marking the Great Fire of 1666. In A Room with a View, Evie climbs it and places a disc at the top, revealing that Edward Kenway hid something at St. Paul's Cathedral.
- St. Paul's CathedralSt. Paul's Cathedral sits on Ludgate Hill, the highest point in the City of London, and has a viewpoint. Evie finds the key to the Shroud of Eden in a secret room in its dome and fights Lucy Thorne for it.
Good to know
- Sequence 5, memory 1 of 7; global story order 15; played as Evie Frye.
- Region: City of London (the Monument and St Paul's Cathedral).
- Optional objectives: perform a Leap of Faith into a haystack while on a zipline; counter all of Lucy's strikes.
- Jacob tags along at the start and teases Evie about Henry Green.
- Henry's briefing sets up Jacob's next job: Starrick has bought an omnibus company.
Objectives
From the rooftop, head to the Monument, where a speaker and a line of police hold the crowd back. Place a disc in the mechanism at its base, climb to the top and set another disc on the sculpture of St Paul, which points you across to the cathedral. Climb St Paul's, fit two discs to the back of a statue base, then rotate the cogwheels in the right direction to open a hatch into the room atop the main tower. The key hangs on a necklace inside.
The fight
Thorne confronts Evie in the tower room. Countering every one of her attacks covers the optional objective. She uses a smoke bomb partway through, so be ready to react when it clears.
What happensSpoilerShow
Thorne crashes through a window but grabs the necklace on her way out. Evie cuts the chain to avoid being dragged down, and Thorne drops to a balcony and escapes with the key.
Before you go
Henry's briefing covers Starrick's purchase of an omnibus company, and Jacob decides it is time to meet Pearl Attaway. Evie has studied the history from the Kenway vault and heads for the Monument. Jacob follows long enough to tease her about Henry and to quote their father's rule about personal feelings back at her.
