Weapons: Garrett as the others have stated is going to be good when it comes to stealth based weapons, but once he leaves that comfort zone he's dead meat. Garrett is this case focuses /way/ too much on the stealth-based approach rather than having weapons useful for when getting caught. Also, these aren't the normal guards that Garrett usually faces, these are professional stealth assassins. Its going to be very hard for him to get close enough to one and try to knock them out. Meanwhile, Altair and the other assassins are also well-versed in stealth and can still kill Garrett in open combat with ease. EDGE: Masyaf

Garrett

Primary Objectives

Enter Masyaf: This is perhaps the easiest part of his entire objectives as he can easily get in the building as he is used to dealing with structures like these and entering them. Plus, with his variety of tools at hand and his focus, Garrett can figure out the best method of approach before making his way into the area. Objective: Completed

Steal Keys: This is where suspicion is going to be created about the infiltration and where guards are going to be much more alert. You don't exactly steal all of the keys to one of the precious and powerful items in the entire universe and not raise a few eyebrows. So he can accomplish this, but is he undoubtedly cause the entire place to enter high alert and begin searching. Objective: Completed

Steal The Apple Of Eden: BWAHAHAHAHAHAA! No. Garrett may be a master thief, but he himself has his limits and this is one of them. He can reach the door and maybe get as far as actually touching the Apple, but after that he is promptly going to be swarmed by the dozens of guards he couldn't knock out. And all those stealth-based weapons minus like three aka Flash Bomb, Bomb Arrows and Choke Arrows. Even then he's going to be impeded by the fact all of these guards are fast, expert free runners and have weapons meant for actual combat. Objective: Failed

Get Out Alive: He's not going to exactly get out since he'll either be dead or captured by this point in time. He's going up against too many foes that have skills almost similar to his own and because of this he'll lose. He's out of options and its either surrender or death by this point. And no tricks can get him out of this one. Objective: Failed

Overall Primary Objectives: Masyaf is going to take the victory here due to their one big attribute. These men are also professional stealth-grade assassins and with one master assassin leading them, Altair. They're going to be able to tell when something is amiss and Garrett is too limited by his stealth-based focus. He can no doubt reach past many of the obstacles, but he is going to undoubtable reach a point where stealth no longer becomes an option. And this is where precisely he's going to fall apart, due to the dozens of alert professional assassins on the prowl for one man in a place they know inside and out. Plus, there is one massive factor that wasn't explained that will be talked about in the Masyaf section. Objective: Failed
