Templar Hunts
Templar hunts are assassination contracts on the Templar agents who prop up each borough's Blighter leader in Assassin's Creed Syndicate. Each target comes with its own challenge, such as a specific kill method, and taking them out helps push the borough toward its gang war.

Good to know
- There are 18 Templar hunts: three each in the City of London, Lambeth, Westminster, The Strand and The Thames, two in Southwark and one in Whitechapel.
- Every hunt has a unique full-sync challenge, from an air assassination to killing with a voltaic bomb or dropping the body in a grave.
- The Unqualified Success achievement asks you to complete three Templar hunts along with their challenges.
- Several hunts have two targets, such as the Lambeth Bullies, the Fletchers, the Jekyll brothers and the Bartletts.
- The Thames has no Blighter strongholds, so its Templar hunts and bounties carry more of the work of liberating it.
Targets by borough
Whitechapel: Harold Drake. City of London: Thomas Blackroot, Eveline Dipper, the Slaughterhouse Siblings. Lambeth: Martin Church, the Lambeth Bullies, the Fletchers. Westminster: Wallace Bone, Beatrice Gribble, Edgar Collicott and his bodyguard. The Strand: Louis Blake, Argus and Rose Bartlett, Peter Needham. Southwark: Phillip Beckinridge, Myrtle Platt. The Thames: Captain Hargrave II, the Jekyll brothers, Tom Eccleston.
Who the targets work for
Each borough has a Templar overseer who runs its Blighters: Rexford Kaylock in Whitechapel, Bloody Nora in the City of London, Cletus Strain in Lambeth, Lilla Graves in Westminster, Victor Lynch in The Strand, Octavia Plumb in Southwark and Edith Swinebourne on The Thames. The hunt targets are the Templars beneath them, ranging from a black-market dealer arming the Blighters to a messenger selling government secrets.
Playing for the challenge
Read the challenge before you engage. Some need a particular tool (smoke bomb, voltaic bomb, a crate of dynamite, hanging barrels), others need the environment (a carriage, a nearby grave, the river), and a few need you to manipulate people, like getting a police officer or a sibling to do the killing.
