Try this list of potential fixes:

1. You might need to go back on yourself to check that all the guards have been defeated. Basically, just make sure that all guards before the Cesare animation have been defeated; I think this has something to do with triggering the animation.
   
   
   1. First - make sure that the guards (the marked ones) are all dead before you climb up the siege tower.
      
      One of the guards bugged out on me, and I think remained alive one time, might've stopped me starting the Cesare fight.
      
      
      
   2. Second - be extra careful not too progress to the Cesare fight scene before killing the marked guards on the wall (the guards immediately after you've climbed the siege tower).
   
   This is what resolved the same problem you are having for me on my playthrough!
   
   
   
2. If that doesn't work, make sure V-sync is turned on in the game options, and then reload the checkpoint / memory. (See this discussion for more details.)
   
   Instructions on how to turn V-sync on:
   

   [Main Menu] > Options > Graphics > Vsync > On

   
   
   
3. Only follow this step if your monitor runs at more than 60 Hz refresh rate; otherwise skip to step 4 below.
   
   If it still doesn't work, try forcing your screen refresh rate to 60 Hz as well as having V-sync turned on (and reloading the checkpoint / memory). You can do this in Nvidia Control Panel or the AMD equivalent.
   
   If forcing refresh rate doesn't working in either of those applications, try using Custom Resolution Utility (CRU):
   

   **Bear in mind that the 60 Hz screen refresh rate profile you will create using the steps below will be applied to your entire system and running applications.
   
   It's simple to revert back to your original refresh rate however; see after these instructions on how to do this.**

   1. Download Custom Resolution Utility (CRU) mentioned in this forum post here[www.monitortests.com].
      
      Direct download link here.[www.monitortests.com]
      
      
   2. Once downloaded, extract the zip files.
      
      You can do this natively in Windows by right-clicking the "cru-1.4.2.zip" file, clicking Extract All..., and then clicking the Extract button. (Make sure the desired file path is entered in the above text field in the Extract Compressed (Zipped) Folders window where these options are).
      
      
   3. Open the CRU application (CRU.exe).
      
      
   4. Check that your active monitor is correctly selected in the top dropdown box.
      
      
   5. Under the Standard resolutions list field, click the respective Add... button.
      
      
   6. In the Standard Resolution window, select the Resolution dropdown box, and then choose your correct screen resolution and aspect ratio.
      
      Additionally, make sure:
      
      • that the Refresh rate text field below is set to "60".
      
      If your screen resolution doesn't appear as a preset in the dropdown list, choose Other resolution item at the bottom of the dropdown list, and enter in your resolution and "60" Hz in the fields there.
      
      
   7. Click OK in the Standard Resolution window.
      
      
   8. Click OK in the main Custom Resolution Utility window.
      
      
   9. In the same "cru-1.4.2" directory where you launched the CRU.exe application, open the restart.exe file.
      
      
   10. Your screen should readjust to the new resolution/refresh rate profile you created in the Custom Resolution Utility.
       
       
   11. In the prompt window that appears asking if you want to revert the changes, click Exit to dismiss the window and confirm the changes.
       
       
       To revert back to your monitor's original settings:
       
       1. Open the reset-all.exe file in the same directory as the CRU.exe file.
          
          
       2. Click Yes in the "Reset All 1.4" window that appears.
          
          
       3. Click OK.
          
          
       4. As advised in the previous window, either reboot or run the restart.exe file to restore original settings.
       
       More details and instructions available at the original forum post here.[www.monitortests.com]
   
   
   
4. If that still doesn't work, try running the game (ACBSP.exe) as adminstrator (right-click the file, then click Run as administrator); some people have reported this as resolving this sequence.
   
   The game executable file path is here:
   

   <path-to-game>

   • See here[www.pcgamingwiki.com] on how to navigate to "<path-to-game>".
   
   ...which is likely here if installed on your C:\ drive:
   

   C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Assassins Creed Brotherhood

Thhhhaaaannnnkkkk you so much bro!!! I was just felt sorry that I can't experience the whole game by my own! And according to my experience, the most important thing is to turn the V-sync on. And then I can kill that bastr!

Hey Alfagun74,

happy to hear that setting the FPS to 60 as suggested by R3troSim (thank you very much for the suggestions you provided there) has helped you resolve the issue you were encountering
