How to unlock the Steal Home achievement

    After the Paperboy mission, you should unlock the Race side missions, with one available in the initial area of Firenze (Florence) called "Florentine Spirit". You obtain this from a thief standing around on the street.

    Simply free run / climb / jump through the checkpoints within 2:30 to win the race and the achievement will pop at the end. Almost the entire race is on rooftops, except the first and last checkpoints. (For the last one, if you're at full health, it should be safe to just jump down -- I jumped and did not die, and it saved a lot of time over climbing down. As Octobot Super notes, there's a bale of hay here, but even if you miss you'll survive.)

    Octobot SuperThere's no need to wonder about how you're going to get down to the last checkpoint you mentioned. The second to last checkpoint being on the tiny roof should be a hint enough: you're supposed to jump down into the hay.

    Onyx GrimoireIt was 1:30 for me as well, but I'm not complaining.

    In order to get this achievement you need to complete a 'Race Event' which is denoted by the Checkered Flag icon on the map, go to the thief and press cn_Y to speak to them, they will give you a course in the city to run with a do able time limit. Run through the markers on the map in order to the finish line to get this achievement. There will be free-running and jumping over rooftops involved but you should have no problem beating the time.

    Note: Races are unlocked after the 'Paperboy' mission
