    This achievement seems like a homage to the intro cinematic/trailer for the first Assassin’s Creed game which was released in 2007.
    A distrust area is an area where guards will attack you on sight. You will know you are in a distrust area as it will say so in red under your navigation bar.

    * A cn_Y button prompt will appear when you get near a group of monks for you to blend in.

    * You must have a cloak equipped to be able to blend in.

    * No skills are required to blend in.

    There are three locations in England that are always distrust areas and remain distrust areas into endgame. These locations are Ledecestre in Ledecestrescire, Wincestre and Colcestre in Essexe. Groups of monks can be found in all three of these locations.

    Locations:
    - A good place to do this is in Ledecestre in the Ledecestrescire region in England.

    There is a group of monks that walk back and forth between the western most gate/bridge to the middle of the city.

    Climb over the western wall without being seen and wait for them to get close. Hold cn_Y to blend in with them and walk along with them. You should pass at least two areas with guards.

    This is a video of the location: (location on the map is at the end of the video)


    - Another good place to do this is in Wincestre in England.

    There are two groups of monks that walk back and forth through the two guards at the entrance of the southeastern gate/bridge of Wincestre to the end of the bridge that leads into Hamtunscire.

    Approach from the south (outside the walls of Wincestre) and wait for a group of monks to make their way to the end of the bridge to then blend in with them. (Credit for this location to USS Prometheus.)

    BobBoxBody29It also didn't pop for me until I got close enough to a guard for the assassination prompt to appear.

    NoobladeThanks BobBoxBody29 that's when it worked for me. I did it in Ledecestre and got closer to the guard on the left by the gate.

    After having trouble with the Ledecestre solution, I went to another spot.

    Go to the synchronization point in Colcestre in Essexe. Just go a few steps west when you load in and you will be above a sort of pond or reservoir.

    Here you will find two groups of monks and two groups of soldiers patrolling and crossing each others paths.

    I dropped down here and got it first try.

    GR34TD3STR0Y3RThis is the way. Best solution. Easy to understand, easy to replicate. Took me 30 seconds total to read, load, move, blend, achievement popped as soon as one of the many guards walked by.
