Part of

Bounty HuntsBounty hunts are borough activities in Assassin's Creed Syndicate where Sergeant Frederick Abberline names a wanted criminal and you bring that person to him, ideally alive. Clearing them is one of the ways Jacob and Evie Frye weaken the Blighters' hold on a borough before its gang war.

Found in

LambethLambeth is the quietest of Syndicate's boroughs, a stretch of low houses, markets and works on the south bank across from Westminster. The Templar Cletus Strain runs it in 1868, and it is home to Lambeth Palace and the Lambeth Asylum, where several major memories take place.

Good to know

Borough: Lambeth, in the sewers.
Target: Leopold Bacchus, a cat burglar who escaped after a failed heist.
Full sync: deliver Bacchus to Abberline alive.
Eagle Vision spells his surname Backus.
Lambeth's Blighters are led by Cletus Strain, a Templar known for smoke and theatrics.
Delivering Bacchus breathing also counts toward the Thieftaker achievement (three live bounty deliveries).

Finding him

Bacchus only surfaces at night. When you find him below the streets he is muttering about his lost diamonds and planning to steal one more shipment.

The capture

He is terrified of hanging, and Jacob or Evie spend the walk reassuring him a theft charge will not get him killed. Abberline promises to go easy on him; deliver a body and the sergeant says Bacchus did not deserve that fate.

Lambeth context

Bacchus is one of three Lambeth bounties with Mildred Graves and Jesse Butler. Templar hunts in the borough target Martin Church, the Lambeth Bullies and the Fletchers, the Blighter strongholds are Battersea Bellows and Echostreet Alley, and the factory is Strain & Boil. Together these are the work that brings Cletus Strain to a gang war.

Underground tips

He keeps to the sewers and his description says he only comes up after dark, so expect to go below Lambeth to find him. When you find him he is rambling to himself about his lost diamonds and is sure the police never search below ground, so he is not expecting anyone. The harder part is the walk back up: if he breaks free he runs, shouting that he is being chased, and you need to catch him again before he disappears into the tunnels. Get him into a carriage and to Abberline alive for full sync.
