DLC #88 - Assassin's Creed 3 - The Tyranny of King Washington Episode 1 : The Infamy

Part 1 : The beginning
The Infamy DLC pack (the first of three episodic add-ons for the Tyranny of King Washington mini-story), adds 4 new trophies to the Assassin's Creed 3 list.

The 6 mission storyline is the main attraction, and will grant you with half of the trophies through simple progression, capped off by the "West Point Payback" trophy, awarded for defeating Benedict Arnold, and thus completing the episode.

It'll only take an hour or so to get through all 6 missions, including secondary objectives, and there isn't much of a difficultly curve presented in any of them.

Granted, Assassin's Creed games have never been terribly difficult as far as their core gameplay goes, but it's always been the additional in-game requirements that have made them hard in the past. There aren't any of those elements present in this add-on though, and it's plain sailing from start to finish.

The "Frontiersman" trophy, awarded for reaching 100% Synchronisation in the Frontier, is an old Assassin's Creed favourite, but the secondary mission objectives are nowhere near as challenging as they have been in previous titles and DLC add-ons in the past, and you most likely won't even need to replay any of the memories to fulfil each one. The additional side missions are equally easy too. You need to complete 5 convoy rescues, 5 wolf attack rescues and feed 5 civilians using hunted meat, along with just 3 collectibles in the form of lucid memory artefacts.

It shouldn't take any more than 3-4 hours to unlock every trophy. The opening story portion is fairly brief but the side missions are mostly random events, so it can eat up some time scouring the landscape and waiting for them all to occur, but that's about as tough as anything in this DLC package gets.
