Assassin's Creed II Cheats and Tips

The quickest way to do this when you only have a few feathers left to find is to pause gameplay and go to the DNA strand. At the DNA strand there is a section at the end of the strand that shows you where the feathers are located. If you now go to the feather section it will show you in what districts the missing feathers can be found.

Collect the indicated amount of feathers and place them in the box in your villa and then talk to your mother.
Unlock Condottiero War Hammer:
Collect 50 Feathers, talk to your mother and the Condottiero War Hammer will become available in the blacksmith's shop at Villa Monteriggioni.
Unlock Auditore Cape:
Collect 100 Feathers, talk to your mother and then talk to Mario at Villa Monteriggioni to get the cape.

When you kill an enemy with an axe or spear and lose the weapon inside the body you can reuse it by picking up the corpse with it and immediately dropping it to set the weapon free.

When you complete the indicated task you will recieve the corresponding ability.
Disarm:
In Sequence 5 complete Mario's 'Evasive Maneuvers' mission to recieve this ability which allows you to counter incoming attacks from weapons like axes that are normally too heavy to counter.
Climb Leap:
In Sequence 7 complete Rosa's 'Monkey See, Monkey Do' mission and you will recieve this ability which allows you to make longer jumps while climbing and get hand holds that would normally be out of reach.

An easy way to get these useful items for free is to loot bodies or pick-pocket people.

When you link to 'Assassin's Creed: Bloodlines' on PSP you will be able to transfer gold coins and defeated Boss weapons (Fredrick's Hammer, Maria Thorpe's Longsword, Mace Of The Bull, Twin's Rapier, Dark Oracle's Bone Dagger, and Bouchart's Blade) to 'Assassin's Creed II'.

If you are wondering what to do when you have to complete the codex wall on memory sequence 12. You must first turn on Eagle Vision, then rotate the codex pages so that they create the image of the map of the world.

This great walkthrough will give you some hints and tips on stealth.

If you have already beaten the game (after you escape the hideout) you have to collect all 100 feathers from the cities you have visited. The positions of the feathers can be found in your map.

After you beat the game if you go to Venice or Tuscany where your Venician blue cape. If you go to Florence or Romana/Flori where the Medici red cape. If you unlocked the Auditore cape where it any where to have no notaritie. (Do any of this to be incognito)

When you go to the vault (you have to kill the last templar{best with altairs armor} first)then after a looooong and boring talk you will be back as desmond and then you will have to escape and if you after another talk pres X you will be ezio again and you can do whatever you want to do!!!

If you see two gaurds talking in front of each other just jog (R1) toward the middle of the with your hidden blades out and press square if done right it will kill both gaurds. But you have to have to the double blade made by Devenchy.
