General information:

It's the last sequence in the game. It isn't hard but it might take some time if you play it for the first time. You must quickly get through the wall attacked by enemy forces. Most of the routes is blocked, some platforms collapse under your feats and the fire is spreading everywhere. You won't meet many enemies. Only at the end of the track, where you will meet Zhang Young. He can be killed with a single quiet hit. There are three Animus shards in the sequence - all are well visible from the road. If you observe your surroundings, you will see them. To get gold, you must complete this level in less than 6:10 minutes. Silver is for 8 minutes and bronze for 10 minutes.

Reach and capture Zhang Yong

Platforms will hang and drop

You start at the Great Wall. Time is of essence so immediately start running right. The wall will explode so jump down the ladder and jump between platforms. Some of them will start breaking.

Fire will chase you in buildings

You will reach a building. Quickly kill enemies with a slide kill and air kill. You must be faster than the flame that follows you. Get through further parts of the wall and platforms.

Effective wall explosion - if you won't dodge it can be lethal

Run until you see some straw in front of you that isn't on fire yet. After a while cannon ball will be thrown at you. It will break the wall under your feet. Time will slow for a moment, you must immediately jump forward and keep running.

To collect the shard walk down the boards

Defeat two first enemies in next building. Use the boards on the wall to walk down. Take the Animus shard and climb up.

Before you walk down the wall, notice the entrance on the right side

After eliminating/avoiding enemies in next building you will move down the wall. Before you reach the bottom, notice the passage to a small room on the right side. Inside you will find second Animus shard.

You can use the reel, but you don't have to - it will help you lure enemies into a trap

Slightly further you will see a reel and three enemies. The reel will allow you to open gate. Two enemies will walk through it. Another reel will allow you to close them, though it is not mandatory. Time is important, so you can only use the reel and jump from the roof to the haystack. From inside you can eliminate the last enemy standing there or sneak behind his back and keep running. Below you can find last Animus shard. It is visible near the haystack.

Now, to make it easier and faster you can walk down from the haystack (collecting the shard on the way) and walk through the collapsed beam. There are three cannons here (you should use first and third one) that can be activated with the up button/key. It will create some distraction. At the end you will find another collapsed beam. Use it to return to the building.

Last enemies can be avoided through the ceiling

First eliminate the shooter on the left on the ladder. Above you will find two guards. Throw a noise dart under their feet. Walk above them on the ceiling. Behind them you will find Zhang Yong. Kill him and you will end the sequence.

After completing the sequence you gain access to Plus and Hard Plus modes in which you can start new game on higher difficulty level.
