Maffei is in town as well and has perched himself up on
a tall tower near you. Well there's a lot of towers. See the really tall one
with the walkway around it? That's where he is. Climb the one nearest you. You
will have to continually go around each side to get higher. When you reach the
top, use a ledge assassination on an archer when the other isn't looking. Then
use the Hidden Blade on the other when his back is turned.

From this, the shorter of the towers, you can go straight to Maffei's tower.
Go to the others though if you want to assassinate more of the archers. You can
do ledge assassinations on one of each pair, then climb up to stealthily
assassinate the other with the Hidden Blade.

When you're ready though, take the cable just below the top of the shorter
tower you climbed. It leads straight to Maffei's tower. Run up the wall from
the cable and begin climbing. It will take you to the walkway where three
archers patrol. You can't do a ledge takedown like this so you'll need to
sneak up when one turns his back and then assassinate him with the Hidden Blade
when the others are not in view.

You should only need to assassinate one or two. Hang down here for a while and
observe as Maffei drops down every once in a while to the walkway. He'll pace
down it for a few seconds, then climb back up. Wait for him to do this again
and when he does, climb up behind him and strike for a sweet assassination.
Just make sure enough guards are dispatched.
