“Blade in the Crowd” achievement bug
If anyone can’t get this achievement and wonders why: you gotta do in in one shot. No fast travel, no loadings. You also gotta have default outfit and weapon equipped. No talismans and dyes

Just completed the achievement after trying for the last 4 hours. There's a reddit thread with a lot of possible solutions, maybe depending on if there are different bugs. I had to:
- Unequip costume, talisman, dyes
- Equip Initiate of Alamut outfit, sword, and dagger
- Reset skills and only apply the 5 skills needed for 5 focus bars. (Unclear if adding other skills for faster focus buildup affects the bug)
- Manual SAVE, quit to title screen, then load the save
- Head to damascus gate and hire the merchants. This doesn't work if you blend in with a regular crowd and focus kill enemies (like outside the great garrison if you've ever done that).
- Stay in the merchant's blend zone indicated by a white outline.
- Assassin focus the first 5 soldiers at the gate.
Doing that once did it for me somehow, but others said to try the prince's palace.
*I use the prince's palace to fill up the focus because you can get easy quick stealth kills. other option is to rooftop headshot enemies below using throwing knives (but costs money/time to restock, especially since if you don't have the quick focus buildup skill anymore)
**It was okay that I had other savefiles.
*** It was okay that I finished the game. No need to load an older savefile.

Good luck. I nearly went mad

Yeah definitely seems like it's a bug if you have to go through all that. I haven't gone for it yet so not sure if it is truly bugged, but you shouldn't have to do it in one go and you should be able to use any outfit or weapon.

I've tried to do it with fast travel - about 30 guards were killed and nothing. Then i've tried to do it in one go in the Market area - again 30+ guards and nothing. I've been killing red guards only being outlined in the crowd. People who play on Playstation confirm - this is a bug and they were struggling too.

Blade in the Crowd achievement BUGGED?
I'm an achievement collector and I'm missing the last one - Blade in the Crowd. No matter what I do, it won't unlock. Does anyone have a similar problem and maybe a solution? Thank you.

I got it just days ago. You need to be hidden(white outline) while doing assassination in the crowd. Maybe you leave this state mid-action and it doesn't count.

Hide in crowd with white outline. Whistle guard and press F to p.. kill WHILE in crowd and white outline. Repeat.

Yeah I know I've killed more than 10 now at this point. So it does seem to be a bug.

Edit: It is bugged but not impossible to get. It finally gave it to me. Didn't have to do it all at once either. I completed the game and killed 3-4 more guards and it unlocked for me.

Was bugged for me too. I had to:
1) Restart game
2) Not fast travel in game and do the whole achievement in one go

I got it last night. You need to make sure the white outline is on you when you do the assassination. So you need to make sure the target is close enough that the white outline doesn't go away.

I know. Did you use focus ability?

I did not use focus ability.

It is a slightly fiddly achievement to get because sometimes the white line would go away when I select "assassinate" because Basim goes slightly out of the crowd and loses the white outline during the animation. So you have to be really close.

blade in a crowd achievement
i have been blending with the crowds, using merchants and even assassins focus to get the kills for this achievement and i have made way more than 10 kills but i can seem to work out what i doing wrong as the achievement hasnt unlocked
Bwoah Nov 7, 2024 @ 7:40am 
I did it with assassin focus using merchant group at price's palace and then same thing at damascus gate and it worked but other people say that this achievement gets bugged sometimes.
