Finding all the hidden collectibles in Victorian London offers one of the most satisfying exploration challenges in Assassin's Creed Syndicate. Scattered across the bustling city are 32 antique music boxes known as the Secrets of London. Locating each one requires a keen ear for lingering melodies and careful observation of regional landmarks across every unique borough.
Understanding the Music Box Scavenger Hunt
The quest for these mysterious relics officially begins once players visit Reuge's Vault in the City of London borough. Inside the vault, a massive mechanism awaits the insertion of all 32 musical discs scattered throughout the world. Players can inspect the progress menu to view atmospheric hint photos that point toward general regional locations.
As you explore rooftops, alleyways, and riverbanks, listening closely to the surrounding ambient audio is essential. Each active music box emits a distinct, high-pitched chiming tune that grows louder as you draw near. Turning down background music settings in the game menu can help isolate these audio cues during tricky searches.
Key Locations Across Central Boroughs
The city's major districts contain several music boxes situated near iconic architecture and hidden courtyards. In the City of London, players can find a box sitting on the road leading toward the bridge to Southwark. Another music box sits on the roof of a building located directly northeast of Reuge's Vault.
Navigating through Lambeth reveals additional music boxes tucked away in obscure outdoor spots. One box rests atop the roof of a building across from the northeast corner of Lambeth Asylum. Another can be found inside a quiet park situated just north of the Lambeth Palace compound.
Exploring the Waterfront and Historic Landmarks
Along The Thames, collectibles are often situated near bustling docks and vital transportation structures. A music box rests on a group of barges floating near the southernmost viewpoint in the borough. Players crossing the easternmost bridge connecting the City of London and Southwark can spot another box on a bench midway across.
Westminster holds several well-hidden items near prominent historical grounds and quiet residential courtyards. Look for a music box sitting on a crate in the park directly across from the Wellington Barracks compound. Another resides within the serene courtyard of a building situated just north of Victoria Station.
Unlocking Reuge's Vault and Collecting Rewards
Once all 32 music boxes are collected, return to Reuge's Vault to place the recovered discs into their corresponding mechanisms. Inserting the full set restores power to the precursor device and opens the central display casing. This unlocks the prestigious Aegis outfit for Evie Frye, which provides substantial defense boosts and a unique futuristic visual effect.
