Side memories were events in the Assassin's Creed series, but could not be exactly determined in the timeline as a historical event. As a result, side memories were optional missions that could be attempted or completed at any time in-game.

Assassin's CreedEdit

In the original Assassin's Creed, side memories were not as in-depth as most other games. They could be very generic at times, and were done for achievements and in-Animus advantages.^[1] Side memories in Assassin's Creed included:

Assassin's Creed IIEdit

In Assassin's Creed II, side memories were expanded heavily, being more in-depth and even tied in with the story at times. Completing them would help increase Desmond's synchronization with Ezio Auditore in the Animus, and the completion of all the side memories was vital for 100% synchronization with Ezio.^[2] These memories included:

Assassin's Creed: BrotherhoodEdit

In Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, side memories continued in the same vein as those from previous games in the series.^[3] These side memories were as follows:

Assassination contracts
Borgia Tower burnings
Flag collecting
Feather collecting
Saving citizens
Training Assassins (see Assassin apprentices below)
Renovating Rome
Lairs of Romulus
Leonardo's War Machines
Thief assignments
Courtesan assignments
Guild challenges
Templar agent assassinations
Shop quests
Cristina memories
Virtual Training challenges
Notoriety mini-missions

Assassin apprenticesEdit

The Assassin apprentices in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood were capable of performing many automated side contracts in and outside of Rome, in order to gain experience and further better themselves into stronger Assassins.

Assassin's Creed: RevelationsEdit

Assassin's Creed: Revelations cut down on the number of side missions, but continued to expand on existing concepts.

Recapturing Assassin Dens
Piri Reis's bomb tutorials
Recruiting Assassins
Master Assassin missions
Restoring Constantinople
Templar Awareness mini-missions
Den Defense
Collecting Animus data fragments
Desmond's Journey
Collecting Ishak Pasha's memoir pages
Secret Locations
Book quests
Faction HQ missions (Unfortunate Son and Loose Lips)
Guild challenges

Mediterranean DefenseEdit

Much like the side contracts in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, Revelations also allowed Assassin apprentices to embark on side contracts in various cities along the Mediterranean region, though another element was added in the form of liberating them from Templar control, with rewards ranging from bomb ingredients, currency, and additional experience for Assassins through capturing them.

Assassin's Creed IIIEdit

Following on from previous games in the franchise, Assassin's Creed III contained side activities that related to its relevant time period.

Collecting Benjamin Franklin's almanac pages
Feather collecting
Locating Captain Kidd's treasure
Privateer contracts
Expanding the Homestead
Mapping underground tunnel networks
Liberate Districts (Boston, New York)
Hunting (Hunting cabins)
Uncovering myths (Frontiersman)
Beat up champions (Boston Brawlers)

The Tyranny of King WashingtonEdit

Assassin's Creed III's story-based DLC packs contained side activities relevant to its altered timeline.

The Infamy
- Liberate convoys
- Find lucid memories
- Feed starving civilians
- Save citizens from wolves
The Betrayal
- Liberate convoys
- Find lucid memories
- Feed starving civilians
