Note: indicates an achievement from the “Venice” add-on.

Note: You can unlock date bound achievements by changing a computer's date and time when using an online profile, even though connecting with Ubisoft servers requires them to be correct. This is done by first starting a game with the correct date and time settings, then ALT+Tabbing/Windows key back to Windows to change the date. For example, set the date to april 14th for the "Utterly monumental" achievement. When you now go back into the game, the corresponding achievements should immediately be completed.
