🔪 Murder Mystery Guide (Location, Solution & Rewards)
By eltorga
Murder mysteries are one of the many side activities in the game, but unlike many of the others, these do not appear on the map simply by synchronising at viewpoints. The tutorial one, Murder Foretold, is located in the centre of the map near the Notre Dame, and does appear on your map, but the others do not, which is the reason for the creation of this guide.

🔶 SAINT-DENIS/FRANCIADE MURDERS (Dead Kings DLC)
I also include the murders in Franciade, which are few, but I also included them since this DLC is included in the main game, you have to take advantage of it.
Blind Justice ⧫◊◊◊◊
⚰️ Where to start the Mystery?
It takes place in northern Francaide, Cemetery district. It shows up on the map once you complete Sequence 13 Memory 3 – “A Shadow From the Past”. This is the easiest Murder Mystery in AC Unity, thus the 1/5 difficulty level. This is why the murder mystery gives only 2,500 livres and no gear reward. Rather disappointing and boring.

The next step guides you toward the Square location. Once you are there you find out that the culprit committed another crime. This also reveals where the murderer is most probably hiding. His hideout is located southwest of the Square. Culprit the street artist is on the street, among the crowd. This is where accusing has no purpose as the murderer becomes hostile once you get close to him.
