Storylines
Part 4 of 4 in Sequence 8: The Joys of Freedom
Found in
- Alhambra Music HallThe Alhambra Music Hall is Maxwell Roth's theatre on Leicester Square in the Strand, the Blighter leader's base and the stage for Jacob's final showdown with him. Several of Jacob's memories with Roth start here.

Good to know
- Sequence 8, memory 4 of 4; global story order 36; played as Jacob Frye.
- Region: The Strand, at the Alhambra Music Hall.
- Target: Maxwell Roth.
- Optional objectives: do not use ranged weapons to kill the decoys; escape the Alhambra in less than 90 seconds.
- Posters inside the theatre advertise shows about Ezio and a pirate ballad featuring Edward Kenway.
- Masked guests are let in through a separate entrance, which is why you need a stolen mask.
- Follows Fun and Games; Double Trouble is next.
Objectives
Watch Roth mask up and enter. Kill a guard, take his mask and follow the masked guests in. From the viewing gallery, scout for opportunities: free the machinist locked in a room so he lowers the grid above the stage, and poison the waitress Mary's pitcher so the decoys she serves collapse. Kill any remaining decoys in melee, then climb the rafters and cut the counterweight rope to snare Roth.
Tips
Use poison and close kills on the decoys to keep the optional objective. Once Roth is down, head straight for the exit: the theatre is burning and the timer is short.
What happensSpoilerShow
Roth's Blighters breathe fire and set the hall alight with guests inside. Jacob kills Roth on the rafters; Roth taunts him and kisses him as he dies. Jacob escapes the fire, and Starrick decides to remake London himself.
Things to notice
Roth welcomes the audience in French and English and calls up a volunteer from the crowd. The Blighters know the waitress Mary, and one jokes she nearly poisoned them last time. As you work through the decoys, Roth taunts Jacob over the hall about his principles drifting.
