After playing Assassin’s Creed for awhile, you’ll get the hang of several different ways to kill Altair. There aren’t many times when you would want him to die, so these are more like accidents, but can happen quite often if you rush things.

One of the silly ways I always die is after I climb a tower, synchronize, then leap right onto the concrete floor. Instead of jumping into the hay stack, I’ll sometimes rush things and jump slightly to the side and miss the hay stack. It’s a 1000 ft drop to your death in just a few seconds.

Another way I die is when I’m running from the guards and miss a jump and land right in the water. I think it’s funny that Altair or any of the citizens can’t go in the water. It’s like an instant death for them.

The trick to not dying is to not rush things. If you plan everything out and carefully execute, then you won’t die.
