City Tunnels in Assassins Creed 3

Tunnels in this game can be hell to discover. It requires quite much patience and time from the player if its unaware of the locations. These pictures might come in hand if you want to discover it all. The tunnels in this game isn't such a big deal really, they will only be used in two missions, you don't actually have to discover them. The only advantage of the tunnel network is that you can fast forward around in Boston and New York instead of making the way by foot/horse which requires an addiotional time.

For full synchronization discovering the tunnel network and all its location is a must.

Tunnels of Boston [10/10]

Tunnels of New York

In the first mission where you enter the tunnel network in Boston with Samuel Adams you'll be given tips of how to navigate in the dark, these tips can be a bit hard to memorize. As all people don't want to follow spoilers, guides and pictures on the net I think posting the tips will be quite appreciated anyways. Some of the tips will be given to you ingame, but they mostly popup and disappear so quick that you might have missed the information.

The following tips:

• Follow the rats! The rats moves to the exits, just follow their direction and you'll reach your goal soon enough.

• Reached a crossroad and not knowing which direction to go? Perhaps you also see a broken sign lying on the ground preventing your navigation? Just keep calm, use eagle vision and you might see an arrow on the wall pointing into the right direction. One more intresting thing I witnessed using eagle vision in the tunnels is that you can see the clue-sign through walls. I'm not sure if it concerns all walls or if it just was my computer playing the game in a funny way. However it worked for me while discovering the tunnels of New York. I was within 100 meters from the last three exits and noticed them thanks too eagle vision. It's woth to try if you know you're nearby a door. Beware though, doors that need unlocking won't be visible since it's no clues around them. 

• Listen to the enviroment when you're running around in the endless tunnels. You might hear nosie of taverns and worksites etc. just follow the noise and you'll certainly reach an exit.

• Barrels of gunpowder will be spread around in the tunnels, take care of them. If you run into one, there are obstacles blocking your way that you need to blow up. Mostly it's a heap of materials, but it could also be a blocked up wall. The walls will often be painted in bloodcolored red, so it won't be hard discovering the fakewalls. When blowing up objectives just place the barrel nearby the vulnerable object and shot it with your gun.

• Lit the lanterns next to the free-masons symbol. The symbol will take fire and guide you to the right direction.

• When walking around in unexplored areas on the map, it will popup distant red dots on your map. Head to their direction since gaurds often stand nearby exits. If you're low on bullets it's a good idea of plundering your dead victims.
