After fending off the Templar attack in Acre, Altaïr heads to Jerusalem and rescues the Chalice, whom he identfies as Adha, a girl he met and had feelings for in the past. In exchange for sparing his life, Basilisk tells Altaïr that the Chalice has been taken to Jerusalem, and that the Templars are sieging Acre. Altaïr follows him to Tyre and, after gaining access to the Templars' hold, defeats him again.

He is then confronted by Lord Basilisk, who reveals that the Chalice is actually a woman before running away. Altaïr follows them to their tower, where he kills their leader, known only as "the Master", and takes the map.Īltaïr proceeds to the Temple, only to find an empty chest in the Chalice's place. Later, the Templars attack an Assassin agent, Hazad, and steal his map leading to the Temple of the Sand. He defeats him and retrieves his key, but the Templar grandmaster manages to escape.

Learning that Basilisk will be attending a party hosted by the king at his villa, Altaïr infiltrates it and confronts Basilisk. He then travels to Jerusalem and discovers that Lord Basilisk has the third key. Altaïr assassinates Napule and obtains the key. There, he learns that the second key has been found by Roland Napule, the head of the local hospital who is said to be twisted.

Afterwards, Altaïr is tasked by Al-Mualim, the Mentor of the Assassin Brotherhood, with finding the "Chalice", which is said to have to power to unite all factions and end the Crusades in victory for the side that possesses it.
