Assassin's Creed Syndicate - Secrets of London, music boxes, Aegis, Michael Reuge's Vault
How to find every last music box (or Secret of London) in Assassin's Creed Syndicate, and get your hands on Evie's Aegis outfit.
Sprinkled hither and thither around the Victorian world of Assassin's Creed Syndicate are a series of pretty little music boxes just waiting to be added to your collection. There's a good reason to grab all of these items too, as once you've bagged the lot you'll be able to get your hands on the powerful Aegis outfit in Michael Reuge's Vault, while also ticking off the Godlike Achievement or Trophy - depending on your platform of choice - at the same time.
We've separated our guide to finding every last one of these music boxes into six different location categories, so you stand a better chance of methodically working your way through the list with the minimum of backtracking. You'll also be able to hear the boxes chiming away whenever you get near to them, which should help you narrow things down even more. Once you've picked them all up, make your way back to the old dig site in the City of London, and enter the Vault once more to claim your rewards.
