Good to know

- Planned in Westminster; carried out at the Tower of London.
- Full synchronisation: remain undetected, and knock out 2 Templars at once using the crates.
- Jacob attends in his suit, with no weapons allowed.
- Queen Victoria and Brinley Ellsworth are at the gala.
- At the gala, Duleep tells the Queen he and Ellsworth met as boys at a missionary compound in Fategarh.
What you do
As Jacob, signal Duleep to distract the guards on the stairs, then sneak to the second floor. The case is empty. Overhear Templars saying they slipped the diamond into Duleep's pocket, go back down and pickpocket it from him while he chats with the Queen and Ellsworth. As Evie, reach the top of the White Tower, clear its Templars and take the diamond from Jacob, then escape. Duleep is searched by the guards on his way out and found clean.
Objectives
Meet Duleep inside, use him to distract the guards, reach the second floor, find the stolen diamond on Duleep, hand it to Evie on the roof after she secures the perimeter, then leave the Tower.
The twistSpoilerShow
Back at Henry's shop, Henry strikes the diamond with a hammer and it shatters. It was glass; the real Koh-i-Noor never left India, and Henry's father made sure of it. Henry and Duleep make peace, and Jacob suggests finding the company's headquarters.
Tips
Full sync asks you to stay unseen and to knock out two Templars at once with the crates. On the White Tower roof as Evie, look for a crate near a pair of guards standing close together and set it off to drop both.
