Part 1 - The Palace Balcony

Hang off the railing to the side and fall to the roof. The guard in the back will leave the balcony and go back inside. Wall run against the left wall and jump to the railing of the balcony while running. If you move over too far to the left while hanging onto the railing, the guard will see you. [SPEED KILL] Shimmy to far right side and pull yourself up. Stay against the wall and walk to the left, but do not step out from behind the wall. Run directly up the wall and grab the ledge at the top. Pull yourself up and walk around the corner until the screen distorts. [SPEED KILL] Wait until the archer in the back walks down the hall, then go for the speed kill on the guard below. The archer will stay down the side of the hall.

the beam to activate a distortion, then go for the speed kill. Sneak up behind the second archer and speed kill him as well. [END SPEED KILL]



 

Jump and climb on top of the small pedestal. Now for another new technique - run up the wall and press the primary attack button to stab the Prince's dagger into the plate up above.

[END SPEED KILL] Hang off the railing to the side and jump to the beam across from it. [SPEED KILL] While on the beam a guard will pace around underneath you just begging for a speed kill - don't disappoint him! [END SPEED KILL]

Pull yourself up and jump to the ledge across from the one you're currently on. Grab onto the railing and pull yourself up.

Slide down and turn to
activate the distortion for a speed kill. [END SPEED KILL] Walk through the doorway on the right then wall run and stab the plate to the left.

After the cutscene you will gain the Recall power. Like the past games in the series, this will allow you to rewind time to undo a mistake.
