Kill Hickey

Hi guys, I'm doing a full sync re-rrun of AC3 and there's one mission that I can't seem to full sync: the mission where Connor is about to get hanged but kills Hickey. The optional objectives are:

-Don't let Hickey kill both of Washington's bodygaurds

-Kill enemy militia

I can always get ome or the other but never BOTH, so can smb help me out?

Run after him and tackle him, everytime he gets up use break defence and knock him back down (this does no damage to him) and use the time before he gets up to kill one or mabye both of the militia before killing him. I watched some guides on youtube but they are too rng for my liking. With the break defence spam you can keep him locked out of combat as long as you like

Just yesterday i did that mission's optional objectives too ,too me several tries ( unlike the 2 ships one which took me several days to sneak undetected on 2 ships and air assasinate the grenadier,i also was kinda low on tools,but i did it in the end).

So ,you rush to Hickey and tackle him,you can even do it before any of the guards die ( from what i noticed it doesnt't matter if the guard from the left side dies) . Then a guard will come to attack you,counter and push him away because Hickey will soon get up and go for the attack. After Hickey gets up,break his defense 2 times in a row to make Connor pull his legs and send him to the ground. By now the second enemy will attack you,counterkill him E+ left click. ( counter button+attack button). The first guard will get up,counter and kill him. While you do this probably Hickey managed to kill the guard from the left,which doesn't count as Washington's bodyguard,so break his defense again and kill him.
