Im guessing there is no way to put a way point on the map for the landmarks that have the glyphs on them so you just have to guess after you get the initial info on it? :/

I know the tower you're talking about, just wait a wee while. You need to learn a new skill first.
Also, the only thing you need all of are the codex pages, so probably best to collect those as you go along.

Completed the 4th memory bank last night 
Awsome, although, the chases are a bit fast paced, but thats just me being pants
LOVE the dual daggers and the best weapon in this game is the poison dagger by miles.
It is so much fun taking assassin for hire side missions and using the poison blade, stand in the crowd that gathers around your target after he starts spazzing out slowly dieing from the poison. Makes you feel so stealthy and pro

Probably the best way to do it, so you don't get too burned out. It can get a bit repetitive, it's good to break it up.

You can Assassinate people with what ever weapon on number 2?

You have the following that does the following lol:
Hammer
Axe
Spear
Sword
Short sword/dagger
Double Assassin blade
poison blade (my fave by miles!)
throwing blades (brilliant for taking out archers as you leg it along roof tops removing the need to stop and assassinate them)
fists (fun for getting rid of the musical retards)
and a few others. All the above have different attributes/uses and all different animations, for example, you have 3-6 guards surrounding you. Go for the sword, fends well and has decent range. Couple of guards, short sword/dagger to be quick and escape quicker. Several guards trying to get in close, spear, this gives great range and keeps you at distance.
As I said, throwing knives are great for when you are chasing a target along rooftops and you have archers in your way, instead of jumping them with your hidden blade, simply select your knives and throw them when you get close enough, chances are you will take them in one hit and they will drop the the floor as you run past them. Making for fantastic cinematic feel and the target sometimes sees this and panics even more as you get closer! So AWSOME!
Again though, poison blade is so much fun
You can only assassinate with your hidden blades though.
I have yet to learn how to drop/throw money, use smoke bombs and a few other things, which I cant wait for to be honest
Tonight, I will be doing side missions/view points so that I can get more weapons/unlocks to aid me further in the game.

If you want a real giggle use it on one of the big armoured guards when he's surrounded by a few other guards - it's very entertaining to watch
To throw money or smoke bombs just select them (RB on xbox) and press X.

finished it last night... what an ending!
Soldato
Has anyone noticed the repeditiveness of the first game yet? I loved the first one for general mucking about but the missions bored me, sit on a bench, beat someone up, pickpocket, kill target, repeat... Ill hopefully get this anyway as it was a good way to waste a few hours every now and then. Am just hoping theres a bit more variety to the missions.
The first game is extremely repetitive, I couldn't play any prolonged period. Found it such a grind and had to take long breaks between sessions.
No such issue with the sequal, managed to have a 11hr + session no danger.

Every mission is unique and part of the story, so there's no repetitiveness whatsoever.
I too got quite frustrated/bored at the repetitiveness of the firstname (Go to city, go to bureau, do three random missions to get "intel", assassinate target).
I've been hooked on this since Friday and still cant put it down. Have just completed the second last DNA sequence and dont want it to end, so going for 1000/1000 gamerscore on this.

Looking head on at the building you can get up onto the roof from the left hand side.. up there you will find a ladder down.. at the bottom of that ladder there is the secret entrance.

This tower yes?
I think so, yeah. You do a mission called "Monkey See, Monkey Do" to teach you the new skill, which is required to get to the top of that.

just finished it and as posted earlier in the thread I said the same at "that" point.
Amazing game just wish I hadn't played through it so as I could do it all over again.
Got to be GOTY for me it is even better than Batman!!
