You will have to fight several soldiers from the rebellion group and make way to the guarded ballista.
Submitted by: sng-ign Assassins Creed Referenceĭuring the Prologue - Barricade mission where you have to destroy a gate by using a ballista, drop down the wall to a series of scaffold and down to the ground. Note that this exploit will not assist you in the Madman achievement, but it will make the remainder of the game ridiculously easy. Remember that once you change difficulties, the plans for the Dark gear vanishes from the shops (unless you bought the plans and put them in storage before exiting Dark mode).
Basically, if you place your outfits and diagrams into storage, you can change the difficulty level without losing the Dark Outfits or plans used to make them (you can acquire the ingredients to make them after 'failing' the side quest).
