Objectives
Collect the kukri from Henry and gather your Rooks. A messenger says Kaylock will meet you at the Whitechapel station, but he does not show; win the street brawl against his Blighters instead. When Kaylock appears on his departing train, climb aboard, fight along the carriages and kill him and his guards.
After the fight
Inside the train, Agnes agrees to work for the twins for better than scraps. Open the safe for funds and resources, then check the Rooks upgrade map, which explains how money and contacts let you strengthen the gang. Henry arrives with books and notes that he knows someone who can repair the rope launcher.
What happensSpoilerShow
Kaylock dies on the roof, and Jacob tosses his Templar pin to the gathered crowd. Leaderless Blighters swap their coats for Rook green, and Whitechapel becomes the first borough under Assassin control.
Tips
Kaylock does not turn up for the street fight, so win it with your Rooks before worrying about him. Once he appears on the train, the fight moves onto the roofs of moving carriages; watch your footing and push guards off the sides where you can.
