Reach The Spanish Commander's central-yard target and choose a safe tree-side or haystack finish without mistaking a sighting for the contract's stay-out-of-combat result.
The commander pauses at the cabinet route, but rooftop observers and a roving guard can make an improvised drop unsafe; chasing through the yard can turn a recoverable approach into open combat.
Why this entry is useful
A two-lane compound plan: it uses the cabinet pause to decide between a patient tree wait and a controlled haystack fallback, with a perch-based reacquisition and separate target/bonus proof.
Classic contract routes describe the central-yard compound, rooftop observers, the commander's cabinet pause, a nearby tree, and a haystack fallback. Those landmarks and the 1,000 R / 500 R listing are historical leads, not a current-save test; use the live marker and condition wording if the Resynced layout differs.
From the first covered perch, mark the commander, rooftop observers, cabinet stop, roving guard, nearby tree, and haystack. Pick a finish line before entering the central yard.
The commander contract is closed in the save; its required kill, base payout, and any stay-out-of-combat result shown by the current brief are checked independently.
What are you trying to do with this entry?
Choose one decision and follow 3 checks in order.
- ScanFrom cover, mark the commander, rooftop observers, cabinet stop, and nearby tree.
- HoldUse the tree-side wait only if the current patrol leaves a covered climb and a clear strike window.
- VerifyAfter the target falls, check contract closure and the live bonus line separately.
Start with the first check above and keep the confirmed area, marker, or objective beside the next move.

Let the cabinet pause choose the route
The tree and haystack are alternatives, not a two-step chase. Read the rooftop and roving-guard lines, then wait on the covered lane that keeps the target reachable and the exit open.
When the target leaves the expected line
Return to the first perch, re-mark the compound, and choose the other cover lane only if it is still reachable. If the optional condition is gone, use the active contract state to decide whether to finish the target or retry.
Covered perch → cabinet cue → tree wait or haystack fallback
- Follow the active marker to the compound and scan from cover. Mark the commander and rooftop sightlines first; the cabinet pause is the timing cue, not a reason to cross the yard early.
- Choose one lane: hold the nearby tree if the commander's cabinet stop gives a safe overhead window, or draw attention only when the live guard pattern supports a retreat to the haystack. Do not combine both routes by chasing through the open yard.
- Make the strike only while the selected cover route remains available. Once the target is down, check contract closure and the optional result separately; use the live brief rather than an assumed detection rule.
Route Plan
How to use 09: The Spanish Commander
Activate The Spanish Commander from the current contract board and follow its marker to the compound. Classic routes describe rooftop observers, a cabinet pause, a nearby tree, and a haystack fallback. Use the cabinet pause to choose one safe route; do not chase the commander across the open central yard.
- Read the active brief and mark the commander, rooftop observers, cabinet stop, roving guard, tree, and haystack from the first covered perch.
- Wait at the tree when the cabinet pause and patrol leave a safe strike window; choose the haystack only when the roving guard and retreat line make that fallback safer.
- Keep the two approaches separate. If the target changes path, return to the perch and re-mark instead of improvising through the yard.
- After the target is eliminated, check contract closure and any listed stay-out-of-combat result separately; use the live wording rather than assuming detection alone failed it.
Save Checklist
Save Checklist
Use these checks before marking 09: The Spanish Commander complete.
- Entry type: Assassin Contract.
- Recommended check: Check memory.
- Main risk: Clearing every roof guard or attempting both cover lanes can expose Edward or close the contract before the optional result is secured.
- Confirm the marker, reward, or requirement in the current Resynced build.
- Open next: stealth.
Open the named brief
Open the named brief
The contract board starts the job; the target marker, not the old map route, decides where this save sends Edward.
- Choose The Spanish Commander from the current Assassin Contracts board and follow its target marker. The available evidence does not establish the board's region in Resynced, so do not guess a start location from an old route.
- Eliminate the marked Spanish commander; keep the current stay-out-of-combat condition intact if the optional payout matters.
- Follow the active marker to the compound and scan from cover. Mark the commander and rooftop sightlines first; the cabinet pause is the timing cue, not a reason to cross the yard early.
Choose the target approach
Choose the target approach
Use the local landmark and patrol state to decide how to enter Central-yard compound (follow the active target marker).
- From the first covered perch, mark the commander, rooftop observers, cabinet stop, roving guard, nearby tree, and haystack. Pick a finish line before entering the central yard.
- Choose one lane: hold the nearby tree if the commander's cabinet stop gives a safe overhead window, or draw attention only when the live guard pattern supports a retreat to the haystack. Do not combine both routes by chasing through the open yard.
Keep the bonus separate
Keep the bonus separate
A target kill can close the contract while its extra payout remains unearned. Check the active condition and final result independently.
- Classic contract listings report a separate 500 R stay-out-of-combat result. Read the active brief for the current wording; do not assume that being spotted and entering open combat are identical failures unless the live objective says so.
- Make the strike only while the selected cover route remains available. Once the target is down, check contract closure and the optional result separately; use the live brief rather than an assumed detection rule.
- The marked commander is eliminated and the named contract closes. Check its base payout and any listed stay-out-of-combat bonus as separate results in the save.
Recover the route
Recover the route
If the commander or roving guard changes position, return to the first covered perch and re-mark the cabinet, tree, and haystack before choosing again. If open combat begins or the bonus appears broken, stop chasing through the yard; check whether the live brief still offers a recovery, then deliberately choose base completion or the game's offered retry.
- If the marker or target position changes, reopen the current contract and map before approaching again.
- After a closed contract, read the actual target and payout states before assuming a replay can restore a missed result.
