    All three of these targets are encountered during the main story line of “The Hidden Ones” DLC and can’t be missed.

    Tacito can be found at the Quarry during the main quest “Where the Slaves Die”

    Ampelius can be found at the Walls-of-the-Ruler during the main quest “The Walls of the Ruler” and is disguised as a Captain/Commander. Senu won’t be able to locate him for you. Additionally, completing this entire location (i.e. killing the other Captains and Commander and locating all 6 Treausres), pops the Achievement “Walls of the Ruler”

    Ptahmose can be found during main quest “The Setting Sun”

    CarlosYabrudyDidn’t pop either for me 28/06/22. Why Ubisoft?

    New DemonsIt unlocked for me with no issue. I only used y button to attack and assinate. It seems like the final blow has to be assassination to count.

    SchwarzioUnlocked fine for me (November 2022). Didn't need to Y to assassinate, shot with arrows and then confirmed the kills.

    ReoAvalonUnlocked 01/02/2023 without problems.
    2 objetives assassinates with Y and the last objetive with sword.

    PerrsunMarch 2023, still buggy. I completed The Greater Good but didn’t get this one. Don’t remember exactly how I took out all 3, but I know one of them was Chain Assassinate (I missed the guy in the quarry, hitting one of his guards, then chained to the actual target). I’ll do a ng+ run eventually.

    PerrsunFollowing up on this: I got the achievement today. To be safe I waited and did actual assassinations (press Y) on all 3 targets.

    Something worth noting is that the achievement only pops when the associated quests are done. I started with Tacito, killed him but didn’t finish the quest (clear his camp). I did the other 2 targets, then came back and cleared his camp, and after the quests completed that’s when it popped.

    ScottC6Glitched for me as well (Apr '23). Started a new game plus and it worked for this and the New Recruits achievement.

    In new game plus, you have to do the main mission enough to be able to leave Siwa and would also recommend meeting Aya in Alexandria to regain the hidden blade.

    I assassinated all 3 targets (one from zipwire) and it popped. Didn't need to clear the Walls-of-the-Ruler camp but worth doing that as others have mentioned if you dont get it.

    AcaelusTNo issue for me. I did super random kills for all three:
    1- normal fighting, the dude fell to the water, had to confirm kill swiming to him.
    2- headshot from predator bow and confirmed kill normally
    3- stealth assassination

    I do as a rule avoid leaving the game turned on for "quick resume". i am a fan of turning games off and starting them again when i know i wont be using it for several hours to prevent the game from having connectivity or sync issues. I do this with ALL games tho, as a standard practice. Not sure if it helps, but i had no problem with this unlock.

    LavaitaI killed them and the achievement didn't pop (I have all the other achievements from the DLC), I'll try again making sure I do a proper assassination rather than from a distance with flaming arrows .

    Ri0tRoBDid them in one go from NG+, popped instantly. Cheers @AcaelusT
