DLC #89 - Assassin's Creed 3 - The Tyranny of King Washington Episode 2 : The Betrayal

Part 2 : The Middle

Part 2 of the Assassin's Creed 3 mini story DLC contains just 3 trophies, structured in an almost identical way to the previous episode.

Despite the lower trophy count, it's a slightly longer piece of DLC, with 9 main missions to tackle, 3 more than Episode 1. It won't make a huge difference to the expected completion time, but it definitely fleshes out the package, especially with the extra secondary objectives for each mission.

The "Blindsided" trophy, awarded for defeating Putnam, concludes the second episode, which should take no longer than 2-3 hours, and provides a typically relaxed experience as far as difficulty goes.

"The New Tea Party" trophy, awarded for Reaching 100% synchronisation in Boston, requires you to, yet again, complete every secondary objective that accompanies each of the main story missions. There isn't anything terribly challenging in store, and you should be able to complete every objective first time as you go along. 

There are also exactly the same side mission requirements to fulfil that contribute towards a 100% synchronisation too. These include 4 convoy rescues, 5 starving civilian rescues, 2 wolf rescues and 4 civilian rescues, as well as finding 3 lucid artefacts.

The "Frequent Flyer" trophy, awarded for using Eagle Flight to travel 1km, will be achieved very early on in the game, but the Eagle Flight animal power is an excellent new addition. Not only will it allow you to escape from pointless battles from constantly hostile enemies, it is also an extremely efficient method of getting from A to B during missions and when exploring the map for random side mission events, making everything quicker and more hassle free.

Overall, this episode should take no longer than 4-5 hours to complete in full. The storyline is slightly longer, courtesy of more missions, and you will still need to fulfil a handful of additional side missions in order to achieve 100% synchronisation, which is just a simple check-list exercise.

Eagle Flight will speed certain aspects of the game up, and should be used whenever possible, and the difficulty curve is non-existent, barring a few secondary objectives you might need to replay a few main missions for. Onto the final episode.
