This is Memory Four of Sequence Four and is a part of your story line. It is also the only assassins Tomb that you CANNOT replay at the end of the game as it is a part of the Story line. WALKTHROUGH --------------------------------------------------- Walk down the stairs and push the lever. You are automatically notorious here so ANY guards that see you will almost instantly attack. Run and climb up the blocks. When you get to the circular chamber a small cut scene showing you how to get up there will appear. Run down the steps, swing across the bar and run from the pole to the platform. Free Run up the series of bars and Ezio will grip hold of a vertical wall. Press up on the joystick to climb up onto the platform. Interact with the lever. Do two jumps through the new passageway onto the far platform. Run up the bars and swing onto where the next lever is. Watch the cut scene and take notice of the two guards in it. Do a leap of faith into the area where the platforms retracted and land in the hay. Walk towards the archway and watch the complaining templars complain. This bit has guards in it. Equip your hidden blades. Go to the left of the pool. There is a couple of ruined towers here, run up them. There is a guard on the platform to your left. When his back is turned go forwards and hang from the ledge, shimmy around until you are where the guard will walk quite near you. Ledge assassinate him. The next guard is up the stairs on the ledge you just climbed up. Take care of him anyway you want since no more guards will come running if you are spotted. If you want the stealthy approach wait until his back is turned and assassinate him. Walk to the ledge. Free Run and swing on the pole, jumping over two bars. When on the lower bar, wait until you are lined up with the hanging object and jump onto it, it will turn around and dump you off around the corner. Activate the lever and another cut scene will show you briefly where to go. Walk across the plank of wood and drop down for a secret area with a chest. Climb back up again and run up the wall on the left to climb onto a wooden platform. Jump onto the balcony and run across the wooden perch onto the coffin. Take care not to hold down the R1 and X buttons or else you will jump off the other side of the coffin. Turn left and swing onto where the next lever is. Now the area will fill with three more guards. Go left and swing down onto the lower area. Turn to your right and dont fully drop down but walk onto the slightly lower platform, from here you can air assassinate one of the guards. You can try and wait to get two in one hit but they rarely pass each other that slowly. No matter what happens the other guard(s) will see you and the lookout will start running. You get this a lot in assassin tombs. If you want the other way to do it is to do a leap of faith into the hay stack from that ledge and assassinate the guard who comes as stands by you from there. But be careful not to let the other guards see you do it. Get out of the hay, assassinate him, leave the body and jump back into the hay. One or both of the other guards will come look and if you are lucky you can get them both. When you approach the lookout will still run though. Run and jump over the ledges and climb up the wall. Turn around and follow him up the other ledges and around again. You will hear the gate snap. Go to the left and swing around. Jump across the gap and fall down. As you go back up some ledges will fall down creating a ledge for you to jump up and skip that bit. Once again he will run away and close the gate, go right and jump across the bars and swing across. At the next gate go left before he closes it to close the distance and climb up the blocks. Keep running after him. As he starts to yell guards to arms, on the left you will see a pile of blocks. Run up that. At the end push [] and you can assassinate him before he reaches safety. The other way is to let him reach the guard post and kill all of the guards. Either way climb up the scaffolding on the right. If you didnt kill him there will be guards to fight down below, if you did you are free to do the next bit by yourself. Drop down silently and run over to the doorway. Climb up. The guards wont hear you unless you approach them. Follow the corridor and watch the cut scene. You hear the templars going over their plan to assassinate the Dodge outside the church. That damn Spaniard is here as well. Follow the corridor again and go through the door and down the steps. Here there is a coffin you can open and some chests. Open them in any order. Opening the coffin with give you an assassins seal to unlock apart of the lock containing Altairs armour. Exit through the door. You now have the seal of DARIUS the mighty assassin that killed Xerxas with his hidden blade in Persia. You also get 1250f for completing this memory and you get a nice gift if you collect all the seals. =================================================== --------------------------------------------------- Il Duomos Secret (idsc) --------------------------------------------------- =================================================== This Assassins Tomb in unlocked as soon as you complete Novellas Secret. It is located in the side of the church near where you have to protect Lorenzo in Memory 4.5. On the map, look for the large dark building in the top right that looks like a flower or a jewel. That building is your target. The skull is at ground level in the side of the building near the west point. WALKTHROUGH --------------------------------------------------- A small cut scene will show with the workers and the monks exiting the church. You will also be shown your first location. Run directly forwards and up the steps, climb the wall and hang just below the paintings. Shimmy around and climb up onto the ledge above the doorway. Run forwards and jump across the poll onto the ledge which Ezio will hang from. Climb up and run over to the ledge and then to the poll on your right. Go right again and bounce to the poll on your left, then bounce again to the one on your right run along its length. Jump down to the lower poll on your right. (take note of the pigeons that fly off while running along that pool between the two supports. Pigeons in this level tell you you are going the right way.) Jump across to the builders ledge. A cut scene will take over half way through the jump and a ladder will fall down. If you fall to the ground during any of the next bit use that to get back up. Run forwards across the two crossed beams and climb up to the higher ledge and turn around 180 degrees. Jump across to the beam, careful not to let Ezio clip the window frame or else he will fall. Ezio will hang from the beam. Climb up and swing across to the next beam and jump forwards down onto the lower ledge. Take the time to stop and re centre yourself before jumping across to the next ledge. Many people have told me that the jump has pushed them off centre and they have fallen. Jump across to the next ledge and from there swing across to the beam. Here line yourself up with the chandelier and jump and swing across to it. Jump across to the next chandelier and from there to the construction ledge. Approach those pigeons on the output from the ledge and jump onto the next chandelier and from there to the one of your right. Keep going and jump onto the beam. Walk left a little bit and jump onto the ledge, running up to grab the higher ledge above you. Turn right. Jump across the two beams onto the swinging pole. Line yourself up with the chandelier and swing onto it. Jump onto the post on your right and line yourself up again. Jump across the two chandeliers and onto the next beam. There are those pigeons again. Jump from the next chandelier onto the ledge and climb up to walk along the out jutting pole. Jump and swing across the two bars and land on the ledge. At cut scene will take over half way through that jump. This cut scene will show you how to get up to the assassins tomb, though it isnt very specific. Another ladder will also drop down, saving you having to do all that again. Go left and jump over to the hexagonal ledge. Go right and past the pigeons. Jump over to the ledge where to organ pipes are (more pigeons) and from there to the bar on your left and over to the chandelier. Go left again over to the bar and the second set of organ pipes where... you guessed it, there are more pigeons. From there jump back onto the hexagon and go right, jumping onto the scaffolding equipment and from there to the bar. At this point the camera angle will change, making it easier to control Ezio. Run straight up the wall and climb up the handholds onto the ledge. More damn birds. (Hum, I wonder if they are the same birds...)Go right onto the pole and jump across to the next ledge where you can jump onto the bars holding up the chandelier. Run across it to the ledge where those birds have appeared again and run up the wall, using the handholds to climb up onto the ledge way above where Ezio will jump over the railing, go right and onto the next set of poles. Line yourself up properly before you jump onto these poles or else your jump will go really out of wack and if you have nothing to press O to grab onto then you will fall to your death. Jump onto the scaffolding stuff and onto the ledge. Birds. Again. Across to the swinging pole and down onto the WAY lower ledge. Across the chandelier and onto the next builders ledge. This one works a little differently. Climb up the wall and stop before you get to the stop of the picture, remain at the top bar, now shimmy left and keep going until you are on the third wall, the flat one just like before. Now climb up and over the railing. Go right and onto the pole. Jump across to the other poles to your left and then across to the ledge. Go forwards and... wow, birds, again, how amazing. Climb out onto the pole and jump across to the scaffolding stuff and then onto the next ledge where there is a box and a series of poles for you to run up. Once up climb around to the other side of the ladder and climb up it. Follow the ledge, jumping across all of the little gaps and poles that you come in contact with. Youll come across those birds again about half way around. Dont worry if you fall. If you do you simply get put back up to the top of this run. About half way around there is a massive gap with a series of about four poles that you have to run across. (Look down. You will see a sheet of builders material hung up that is red in color and a shinning box. This is the secret area for this location. Drop down if you would like and loot the box. There is 250f in it. To get back up you do have the easy option of just jumping off the ledge and dying which will mean that yes you got your money but it doesnt count as finding the secret area or you can do this. Run up the doorway and climb up the circular bricks on the wall, climb up and then to the left. Climb around the scaffolding and up to the ledge again.) Eventually you will come to a block of tiles. Climb up it and wait for the camera angle to change. Run up the wall and climb to the top and use the handholds to climb around to the poles that you can then climb up and stand on. Those birds are there AGAIN. The camera angle will change again. Im not scared of heights and even this seemed to give me a bit or vertigo. Run and jump across to the centre ledge. The camera angle will change during the jump but you wont fall. Climb up the two ladders. You appear in the treasure room in front of a statue of a female assassin. There are two treasure chests on either side of her containing 250f. There is another one to the left of the sarcophagus. Open the sarcophagus to receive the assassins seal. Exit through the open window. Congratulations. You just received the seal of ILTANI, the female assassin that Poisoned Alexander the Great and came from Babylon. Her seal has what seems to be a picture of an instrument on front. Go place the seal in the sanctuary and you are one step closer to getting the armour of Altair. You also receive a bonus gift of 1250f for completing this memory, though where it comes from is anyones guess. Once outside those damn birds are here AGAIN (walk to the right when the camera is at your back. There are also two chests containing 100f on this roof. Climb down. BONUS To get the High Dive Trophy you have to climb the building just next to this church. Florences Giotto Campanile. If you havent already this is an ideal time to try it as you can only start the climb from the roof of the church. Do a leap of Faith from where you exited the assassins tomb and the pigeons flew off from into the hey below. Run to the right where you can see a window on the tall building opposite. Jump over to it. REMEMBER TO HOLD R1 AS YOU CLIMB SO THAT YOU CAN CLIMB FASTER. Climb up the window and up the ledges and following windows until Ezio cant climb any more. Shimmy left. Get to the middle of the ledge where the symbol of the flower is a climb up. Here to can go in the windows to get treasure chests on the lower levels inside the building but if you do you have to start this climb all over again. Once you get to the windows, hang below them ad go left again. Keep going until you get around to the next wall and climb up the windows. Keep climbing up the next set of windows as well and if he stops climbing move to the middle of the two windows and keep going up, eventually you will have to move to the left or right to get around the eagles perch. Walk onto it and syncronise the view point while you are here. Perform and leap of faith. You have your trophy. =================================================== --------------------------------------------------- Torre Grossas Secret (tgsc) --------------------------------------------------- =================================================== As far as I know this Assassins Tomb is also available as soon as you complete Novellas Secret this tomb is located in Tuscany and is near the Torre Grossa. It is in a small side alley on the southern side. It is obvious as in the side street it has its own little circular alcove. This Assassins Tomb also has guards so make sure you are well prepared. WALKTHROUGH --------------------------------------------------- When you start, run up the wall next to the broken ladder climb up to the second ledge and climb around to the right, walking onto the ledge where the door it. Pull the lever and run up the stairs to activate the cut scene showing you where to go. This si where you will first run into the guards. SLOWLY walk onto the platform, but not to the edge so the guards can see you. Equip the throwing knives if you want or the sword. BE CAREFUL. If you want you can just go straight into combat but if you dont want to be seen the guards can see you on your little ledge. Kill them either way. If you want to do the discreet thing stand back from the doorway a bit and wait until one of the guards is walking away from it with his back to you. Lock on and throw one of the knives, wait until one of the other guards comes to investigate and kill him in the same way, jump across the beam on the right onto the platform and air assassinate the other guard or just use another throwing knife, otherwise just drop down sword in hand and fight them. When they are dead run loot their bodies to recover most of your throwing knives if you use them and straight ahead from the doorway and run up the wall on your left. Jump right onto the ledge and climb up. The camera angle will change. Run forwards (analogue stick to the right) and jump across. Shimmy right to the beam. Walk down the platform on the right and jump across to the wall on the left. Shimmy across the corner and down until you can get onto the platform. Kill the guard up the stairs in any way you want. I climbed up the boxed and ledge assassinated him. You can do this next bit one of two ways. TO SKIP THE SECRET AREA - Jump onto the chandelier and turn to the left. Jump onto the two wires hanging between the wall and the balcony and go to the left to jump across onto the beams. Drop to the floor and making sure to stay well back from the doorway watch the cut scene TO COMPLETE THE SECRET AREA - Climb onto the railing of the section where the guard was and swing across the two bars on the far right hand side of it (when facing the opposite wall). Shimmy into the hole in the way and climb up. Hang from the ledge of the floor and climb across the wall using the handholds, climbing up the other side. Collect the money in the chest (250f) and pull the lever and jump across the two poles. Drop onto the floor and watch the cut scene, making sure you stay back away from the doorway. There are three levels to this next section. And six guards. Three guards on the bottom level which is where you are now, two guards (archers) on the next and one on the top level. Once again to get rid of the three guards you can either just walk around the corner with your sword out or take the discreet path. For the discreet path MAKE SURE you stay away from the doorway. Wait until the two lower guards walk away and the brute completes his little walk. Step forward so you can target him and throw TWO throwing knives to take him down. The other two guards will eventually come to check his body. Take them down the same way. Loot their bodies to recover your throwing knives. After wards cross the room and climb up the two piles of wood directly across from the doorway you came from. Run up the wall and jump to the left (not backwards) onto the ledge. Use throwing knives from here to take down the two guards on the next level. Loot them again to hopefully recover both of your knives. Run across to the far side of the balcony and jump across the three chandeliers. You cant kill the next guard yet with throwing knives as they bounce off the balcony railing. Jump across to the window on your right and climb to the top of it. Keep climbing to the top of the handholds and go right onto the chandelier. Turn around, heading back towards the balconies are two swinging bars and a small rope to stand on between them, doing this bit will get you caught by the guard unless he is walking away from you. Swing and jump across quickly and kill him with the hidden blade. You cannot ledge assassinate him as he is too far away from it. Walk through the archway on the right and a cut scene will show you where to go. There are three archers in this section. First walk up the ramp in front of you and go around the corner. When you get to the top of the walkway wait he starts walking away from you and run up the series of poles around the corner. When you jump and hang from one of the taller bars the camera angle will change allowing you to do this bit undetected. Wait until his back is to you and climb up to the next ledge, locking on a killing him with a throwing knife. There is a little barrier here if you happen to climb up at just the wrong time. Make use of it. Swing across to the platform where the guard was. Loot the body to hopefully recover your throwing knife. Climb up the ladder. Jump up onto the railing and across to the pole jumping onto the next platform. Walk to the other side of it. There are some poles for you to run up and on the other side some climbing grips. Run to the top of the grips but dont go any further. The two guards are just above you. Wait for him to start walking away from you and then climb up. Make use of the barrier here. Assassinate one guard as he walks back towards you and kill the other guard any way you want. Once they are dead climb up the window in the middle of the walkway and climb across to the left across the handle. Jump up onto the bar and use the next wall handles to climb up to the roof supports. Jump onto the second bar and walk to the left. Jump across and walk left again and turn to the left to jump across to the next walk grips. Climb up to the top and then climb LEFT. Jump backwards to land on a post that you couldnt see. Climb up the rings to your right into the hidden chamber. There is one chest in front of you on the right and two behind you each holding 250f. Open the sarcophagus. Climb up the ladder and push O at the top to exit through the latch. Congratulations. You now have the assassins seal of WEI YU, the Chinese assassin who used a spear to kill Qin Shi Huang the first Chinese Emperor. Place it back in the sanctuary to complete a piece of the puzzle to receive Altairs armour. Once again you also get 1250f for completing this memory. Perform a leap of faith to get down. I do like the wind noise effect here. =================================================== --------------------------------------------------- Ravaldinos Secret (rvsc) --------------------------------------------------- =================================================== This one is available as soon as you reach Forli. The location of the Tomb is actually a bit annoying to get to. The best way to find it is to climb up onto the wall of Forli and follow it around until you reach the area where it is. You can either drop down straight onto the platform or dive into the water and swim to it. Either way works. There are guards in here as well. Lots of them. WALKTHROUGH --------------------------------------------------- When you first start off jump into the water and swim to the left, climb up the wooden bit and jump across to the main platform. Run up the bricks in the corner and up the wall, grabbing on to a ledge. Push R1 + X to jump backwards. Jump to the left onto the next ledge and swing across. Jump to the right and onto where the lever is. Pull the lever. This is a timed one so as soon as you pull it run towards the door. Run down the hallway and swing onto the lower level. Jump onto the wooden ledge and then onto the lower one. Jump into the water and hold X while swimming forward to swim under the gate. Run up the two barrels and do a backwards jump off the ledge Ezio grabs. Climb up and do another backwards jump, repeat until he is at the top where a cut scene will initiate. Ledge assassinate the guard at the top of the well and kill the others in any way that you want. The throwing knives come in handy here. And its just a waste to use your smoke bombs. Save them for later in the game. Target and kill the guard across the other platform with TWO throwing knives and then by taking your time go across and climb up onto the boxes and air assassinate the other guard. If you do raise an alert you will also draw out a third guard. Go left (when facing where you came from) and climb up the wooden wall. There are two guards there, they cant see you yet, but as soon as you swing over they will. You also cant target them. Kill them in any way you want. Go around to the back of that section afterwards and use the barrels to climb up to the top of the bookcase. Jump into the higher level. Run up the barrels again to grab onto the top of the shield, jump backwards. As you land near the lever (or walk over to it) a cut scene will trigger showing you what to do. Pay attention, it helps. Pull the lever and jump across the bars to the other side before the gate comes back up. Once again pull the lever and jump across. When you land go through the small arch and jump across the bars so that you can run up the wall next to the shields. Ezio will hold on, shimmy left to the doorway. Drop down onto the pole and then drop down into the lower level. A cut scene will trigger showing you again where to go and what lies ahead. Three guards and hole in the wall, run down the stairs and up the wall at the end of it. The guard wont approach the ledge so you have to wait until he is walking away from you and get rid of him that way. So that you arent caught, dump the body over the ledge you came up from. There is another guard not far away at the same level as you across the other side. Two throwing knives will take care of him as he is looking through the window. Go down the stairs and wait at the bottom just out of sight, have your hidden blade equipped. Stab the guy as he comes around the corner. Wait for the other guy to come investigating and kill him as well. Now for the brute. He wont see the other bodies so as he is walking away take cover in the hay bale or behind one of the screens. Hanging from the screen behind the hay bale is good as when he gets close you can climb up and air assassinate him. Remember to loot their corpses. Near where the horses are there is a three sides wooden screen. Climb up it. Turn to the right (when facing the horses) and jump onto the wooden pole. Climb up it and jump across the two others. Climb up and jump onto the platform. Run up the barrels and Ezio will grab onto a shield. Shimmy left to get through the hole in the wall. Heres a question, how do the guards get up here They arent that good at climbing. There isnt any more though so dont stress. You might want to take the time to practice this bit. You path is this. Where the lever is, pull it and jump over the wall and onto the broken archway, the camera angle will change and jump onto the higher ledge. Climb up and run along the wooden beams, jumping onto the small wooden post. Run up the Wall onto the ledge and then jump backwards. Climb up, onto the wooden post and then swing across to the doorway. This is all TIMED by the way so practice is good. You only JUST have enough time to do it. You are now in the burial chamber. There is a chest to your right with 300f in it And two more on either side of the sarcophagus. Exit through the secret door. You now have the Seal of QULAN GAL, the Mongolian assassin who shot down Ghangis Khans horse will a bow and arrow. Place it in the sanctuary to have completed a sixth of the puzzle to receive Altairs armour. You also again get a special bonus gift of 1250f. =================================================== --------------------------------------------------- San Marcos Secret (smsc) --------------------------------------------------- =================================================== This Tomb is available after sequence 7 in Venice. This is also possibly the most FRUSTRATING puzzle sequence in the whole game. There are no guards here, just lots of time trials. Four in total. This Tomb can also be quite difficult to reach as the area that it is in is a restricted area. To get to it, go right from the front of the Basilica and follow the path go left as soon as you can and then left again to cross over the two bridges. Climb the wall that is curved around to the river and go up to the roof tops. Go right and all the way to the front again and then go left. Drop down into the little alcove behind the archers to find the glowing skull. As far as i know there is no secret area in this location WALKTHROUGH --------------------------------------------------- Firstly, go forwards and jump over the balcony railing (swinging on the pole if you wish) to get down to the lower level. Run up to the sarcophagus and activate the puzzle. Tips: First thing though with NONE of these puzzles, if you make a mistake or rush, do you have the time to correct it without pushing the button again. If you die on the last puzzle, you have to do all of them again. If you rush you will make mistakes, and if you make mistakes then you will have to start the puzzle over. Miscalculating a jump at the end of it will result in Ezios death. Second, Go slow, dont Free Run everywhere. The faster you go the easier it is to lose control of Ezio and completely stuff everything up. Third, PRACTICE. PLEASE practice. I couldnt tell you the amount of my friends that have come up to me asking me how to do one of the puzzles in this area and hadnt practiced at all. Even if you have done these before practice them a couple of times again. I would recommend at least twice for people new to this tomb. And fourth, get savvy with the camera controls, having the camera in the right position makes a lot of difference, especially with the top and right puzzles. Know how to use your camera while you are moving and know how to use it to its best advantage. TOP PUZZLE (when standing in the centre facing the coffin) Run back up the steps and go to the right hand side of the coffin. Run past it and up the three large steps that lead to a circular indent in the wall. The camera angle will change. Jump back across from you onto the platform and then to your left, across the ledge and onto the roof of the coffins shelter. Go right and jump across onto the lower platform. Jump over the balcony railing and go left again around the pole. Jump back onto the balcony railing and across the heads of the statues (which would give them a massive headache) and onto the cross. Keep going across to the other side and run up the wall when you get there. Shimmy right and climb up onto the roof of the organ pipes by running up them. Jump backwards at the right angle to hang from the lever. When the cut scene is over swing forwards to land on the lower platform and jump off it to get down. 30 points for guessing what the symbol is that the moving segments make on the floor LEFT PUZZLE (when standing in the centre facing the coffin) This one is a bit harder. When standing near the button facing the wall its closest to, go right immediately and climb up the stand that almost looks like a cage. Run along the edge of it and jump onto the taller platform at the north. The camera angle will change. Jump to the left onto the higher platform where the camera angle will change back. Go right and jump into the nearest wooden post. Run along the posts on the right and onto the platform above the door. Go right again and run and hang from the grip on the wall. Shimmy all the way right until the camera angle changes again. Climb up onto the top of the hand hold and then go right. Climb up one to the top of the next hand hold and jump onto the one on your right again. Climb up to the top of the balcony. Go forwards and left onto the balcony and run up the small stack of boxes against the wall. Run up the wall to grab onto the handholds and keep climbing up, the camera angle will change again. Once you reach the top of the handholds jump backwards (R1 + X) onto the pole and from there forwards onto the lever. Swing forwards onto the chandelier and the drop from that to get down. Come on, 20 points if you can guess what it is now. RIGHT PUZZLE (when standing in the centre facing the coffin) The same as the left puzzle, this one also starts off climbing the cage like stand. Run to the left and climb up it (there are boxes here to run up as well this time). Swing across the bar on the right (when on the ledge looking at the coffin) and onto the builders stuff. Run up the box and jump across to hang from the ledge. Climb up on top and run around it. Jump across to the platform under the lower roof and run up the bar on the right. Use the two handholds to get onto the balcony. Go forwards and right, Those two big crosses hanging from the ceiling Jump onto the first one. If you know how jump onto the right hand arm of it (yes you can reach it). Jump across to the second cross by using small jumps to navigate the arms of the crosses. Jump across to the second balcony. Using the poles hanging out from the wall run across them to get to the other side. Run and run up the boxes in the centre near the window. Get to the ledge the middle of the rose looking thing. Use the contextual camera (L2) to align yourself and jump backwards (R1 + X) Watch the cut scene and jump onto the swinging pole and the chandelier to get down. 10 points if you guess now. You have to know what the symbol is by now. And dont feel bad if you it you a couple of times to do this one puzzle. The first time i did this tomb i stuffed it up three times in a row. This is the most difficult challenge in my opinion and everyone will probably stuff it up at some stage. BOTTOM PUZZLE (behind you when in the centre and facing the coffin) Run forwards past the rows of seats until you see that some seats have been tossed out of place by a screen with paintings on it. Climb up the screen and go left to jump onto a platform. Jump onto the next platform and then onto the ledge on the wall. Shimmy to the right and the camera angle will change. Jump backwards (R1 + X) and shimmy to the left, jumping backwards again when you get around the corner. Drop down and run along the bars. At the third bar Ezio will hang from it, climb up and jump across the next one and onto the platform. The camera angle will shift again showing you to climb up the handholds. You can also just run up the wall as well. Go forwards and left and run up the boxes and candles in the centre. Climb up the centre of the cross on the window and jump backwards again onto the swinging bar. Swing onto the next bar and then onto the lever. To get down swing forwards and onto the next bar and hang from the cross. Drop down. Pretty cool huh, the secret assassins symbol hidden in the floor. Get down and drop into the room. Run down the stairs. There are two chests to the left of the sarcophagus and one on right containing 500f each. Open the chests and the sarcophagus. Have to say the skeletons on the wall are a bit much though. And they must smell bad. Exit through the secret door Seal of AMUET collected, that has a snake on the front, the female Egyptian assassin who used a snake to kill Cleopatra, congratulations. Another sixth of the puzzles completed. And again, a special payment of 1250f. =================================================== --------------------------------------------------- Visitaziones Secret (vzsc) --------------------------------------------------- =================================================== I do not like this one. Once again, more time trials (seems to be the thing in Venice) and a guard chase. And an Easter Egg. A giant squid. We will get to that. WALKTHROUGH --------------------------------------------------- Okay first things first, sprint down the corridor and do a leap of faith into the pile of hay. The stupid brute will do his whole I know i saw something this time and a VERY convenient rat will run out. Too convenient. After the cut scene jump out of the hay and kill the brute with your hidden blade. Run forwards but dont go after the templar because he will shut the gate. Run down the left path and Free Run over the blocks and stuff. Go right. Run over the bridged floor and go left to swing down to the lower level, Free Running all the way to take care of the blocks in your path. When you catch up to him, immediately go through the gap because once again he will close the gate on you. Keep running and at the next gate go right. Jump over the beams and swing on the poles to get to the next section. Run up the stairs go right twice and then right again after the hallway. Go left across the broken walkway and use free running to get over the blocks next to the gate on your right. Stay on the bookcases and use the swinging pole to get across to the other side. Run down the stairs on your left and go left again to jump over the blocks to allow you to bypass the gate. Another gate will close, run up the blocks to teh right of it and use the pole to swing over to the next section. Keep running, use the first set of blocks to get slightly more ahead and keep following the templar. When he starts yelling Guards to Arms use the blocks and poles on your right to run up onto the higher ledge and air assassinate him so that he doesnt stir the other guards. Of course you could let him stir them if you want. If you kill him through and loot the body i got four throwing knives. Its worth it. Either way go up the blocks on the right to avoid detection and swing onto the blocks. Open the door and run down the stairs. EASTER EGG: Okay, easy enough. Pull the lever, watch the cut scene but dont do anything. Approach the waters edge in front of you and walk forwards until Ezio looks down into the water. Wait for about a minute or so. When it does a massive dark shape will swim past with a big yellow eye. Pull the lever again and approach the water a massive tentacle will shoot out and Ezio will only just be able to dodge it in time. I like this thing. Moving on. Pull the switch for the first time and the cut scene will activate showing you where to go, its not very informative though and this is definitely the where do i go now puzzle of the game. It also takes ALOT of skill with jumping around. And you dont even really have time to practice as you can only get past bits with the lever activated. Anyway pull the lever and run along the narrow strip of ground and Free Run across the poles swinging towards the small platform. This is the real challenge. Run up the wall and at the height of your jump CAREFULLY move the stick all the way to the right and push X to jump across to the first lever. Cut scene. This comes as a very handy tool for later on in the game if you are not doing this as an after game thing. Swing forwards and run up the steps, running up the wall again and this time jumping left onto the platform. This one is a bit harder as you have to think very quickly. Run across the bar to your right and swing down onto the lower piece of ground. Once again run up the wall and jump off to teh right to get onto the lever. Cut scene. Swing forwards and run forwards and to your left to jump up the broken off pieces of rock Just jump onto this lever. Cut scene again. You have to know what the symbol is by now. This next one is harder to get to. Most people will stuff it up here, but if you do dont worry. You only have to pull this last lever. Swim forwards and climb up onto the small piece of rock and make your way forwards over the wall to the start if you stuff up. If you fall in the water you dont have the time to fix it, you have to To get to this lever, from where you were swing forward onto the pole and from there onto the platform, line yourself up and run across the pole to the higher platform and from there go left. Run up the wall and jump left to get to the higher spot of the crumbled stairs and run across and onto the next piece of rock and then jump onto the two poles so you can swing across to the lower ground. Run up it and jump onto the lever which will complete the door puzzle and raise some steps for you to get to it. Swim forwards and into the water. Swim towards the piece of rock in the ground and run up the stairs and around the wall into the burial chamber. There is one chest behind and two chests of either side of the sarcophagus, all containing 500f. Open them and the sarcophagus. Congratulations. Now that you have the seal of LEONIUS (it has a sword on the front), the assassin who stabbed Caligula with a dagger in Roma, you have all of the seals to complete the puzzle. And another 1500f for completing it. =================================================== --------------------------------------------------- After the Tombs (aftb) --------------------------------------------------- =================================================== Once you have all six of the assassins seals, or even as you collect them one by one, return to the sanctuary in Marios office to place them, going around one by one and pressing O near the statues to place the seal. Once placed the grate will open and the statue of Altair will drop down, allowing Ezio to bless his ancestor and collect the armour. The armour of Altair is the strongest armour in the game. It also comes with its own color and robe set, black with white trimmings. It does look a bit renascence for the crusades doesnt it And what are the chances that Altair and Ezio are the same size huh Anyway, you can still chance your cloaks with this armour, but you will be dealt less damage and i am yet to have to repair it, even after being involved in several fights while playing it through after the game. Having this armour also allows you to buy the Sword of Altair from any blacksmith which is also the best sword in the game, at a good 45000 if you only have the second upgrade for your blacksmith in the Villa, having no weaknesses and a full five points on Speed, Damage and Deflection. If you would like to examine the statue of Altair you cant, but you can run up the wall inside the alcove next to it and jump backwards to land on the armour holder which allows you to look at it closely with the camera. =================================================== --------------------------------------------------- Paying Respects (pyrt) --------------------------------------------------- =================================================== This is the Assassins Tomb that can only be unlocked for those that have access to the UPlay function from Ubisoft. To get it you have to complete enough actions to get the points and then buy it. It is located inside the Villa to the west near those massive decorated doors that will be glowing. Walkthrough to come. =================================================== --------------------------------------------------- Frequently Asked Questions (faqs) --------------------------------------------------- =================================================== Q. In San Marcos, in the right hand puzzle, i cant jump onto the lever Why is that Is this a glitch A. No. Make sure that you are only a small bit above the middle of the window, if you are too high Ezio will miss and too low he will jump under it. -------------- Q. Okay, I know about the Squid Easter egg. Is there any others in the other Assassins Tombs A. As far as the gaming community knows, no. No one is yet to find any other bonus things like the giant squid/octopus on any of the other assassins Tombs. -------------- Q. The giant squid isnt appearing for me. Why A. A few people have had this problems. If the squid doesnt appear simply do the puzzle and reply it later on. Yes, the squid can appear in replays. Make sure that you are actually staring down INTO the water as well, like Ezio does when standing on the edge of the ground to look down. Also it does take about a minute and if you move around it wont work. Just keep trying. Watch a video about it if it helps, you may be standing in the wrong place.
