I spent an ENTIRE NIGHT trying to fend off those damn knights, and it was two in the morning when I reached the final round with De Sable with only four bars of synchronization left. It was such a pain but in the end… to finally have Altair slam that hidden blade into De Sable’s neck… pure satisfaction.
the trick is to run around in circles as your health replenishes itself hhehehehehhee
It’s very easy, really. When a Templar tries to hit you, just rise your defence and counterattack. Don’t just stay on defence the whole time because they know how to break it. Altair can’t immediately kill them, but he can throw them to the ground and if you’re fast enough you can change your weapon from the sword to the hidden blade and finish them (then you have to quickly change again from the hidden blade to the sword, of course). Or you can just continue to hit them (rise defence+counterattack) until Altair finally kills them. You can use the same moves against Robert. :)
