In Assassin's Creed Unity, which Paris landmark contains the first major assassination target?
Answer
Notre-Dame Cathedral
Answer
Notre-Dame Cathedral
In Assassin's Creed Unity, the first major assassination target is inside Notre-Dame Cathedral. Arno Dorian's early investigation leads him to the cathedral in Paris, where he pursues and kills Jacques de Molay's former associate, the Templar Grand Master Jacques de Molay's successor, Bishop Léonard.
Notre-Dame is one of Unity's most recognizable locations and anchors the opening sequence in the city. The game recreates Paris during the French Revolution, including major streets, landmarks, political upheaval, and a dense urban layout designed for parkour.
The Louvre, Versailles, and Les Invalides also appear in Unity or its surrounding historical setting, but they are different locations and should not be substituted for Notre-Dame. The cathedral's name is often written with the French abbreviation “Notre-Dame de Paris.”
Unity was built around Arno's membership in the French Brotherhood of Assassins. Its story begins with his adoption by the de la Serre family and develops into a conspiracy involving both Assassins and Templars during revolutionary Paris.
