Airwalk to Air Assassinate

Airwalk to air assassinate is made possible by the throwing knife glitch (it has been patched, so you would have to delete the update to still use it). Basically start airwalking and when an enemy is in range (locking on isn't required) switch to your hidden blade(s) using the weapon wheel and mash the attack button to air assassinate when getting out of the weapon wheel.

This is demonstrated on some targets. First the Pazzi conspirators, excluding Stephano da Bagnone who was a challenge to air assassinate since he walked under a building roof throughout his entire travel route.

Bernardo Baroncelli is simple enough. Airwalk from a nearby roof into his path.

The setup for Francesco Salviati is about the same as for the stunt IanXO4 did a while back.

For Antonio Maffei I use the airwalk glitch as a shortcut reaching the tower the target's on. At the start of the mission climb up the nearby tower and airwalk in the direction of the target. Now this causes an inconsistency in the game because the mercenary tells Ezio that Antonio Maffei is on the city's tallest structure, and yet the tower you airwalk from is a little higher. The actual assassination doesn't end in an air assassination because you get seen before reaching the target, causing him to jump to the railing where he can't be assassinated while in a crouching position.

Francesco de' Pazzi is used as an example of air tackling since he can't be air assassinated. And speaking of which I had some stuff recorded I put in this video since that was the only way it would see the light of day. I had investigated a possible Early Death on Francesco right before the assassination, but it failed.

Bernardo and Stefano: There is No Stairs

The method of assassination in this video is "There is No Spoon". I use it on the targets Bernardo Baroncelli and Stefano da Bagnone by placing them on a flight of stairs and getting far enough away that the stairs are no longer modeled in the game, causing the targets to fall through the floor and drown.

The goal of this mission is to move Bernardo Baroncelli to Piazza del Duomo, then make an eagle strike on him from "Torre Grossa"

Here's a description of the different stunts I do:

Hey guys! I put a video on youtube that shows me doing eagle strike on Bernardo Baroncelli. The video is called Assassin's creed 2 eagle strike on Bernardo Baroncelli. So that's another target you can do eagle strike on. The best part is you kill him where he walks (sort of, it looks like he's trying to flee while you are assassinating him) which is awesome because if I recall correctly Stabguy said in a post "We have yet to find a target in AC2 that can be eagle struck where he stands (like William de Montferrat in AC1)." What I think he means by that is do eagle strike without interrupting the normal travel pattern of the target. So watch the video and put comments here if you think it is front page material. Cool

Each of these stunts requires a lot planning in order to execute. They all feature leaps from tremendous heights - just shy of what will kill Ezio.

The goal is to poison the Pazzi conspirators of Sequence 5 and escape, without being seen at any time (no yellow bars).

Anonymous Blitz
Bernardo is very cautious. He'll start running if he sees you at all. The leap of faith makes it easy to rapidly enter the courtyard stealthily. Approach from behind to avoid detection.

A place to sleep
All of the wells in AC1 were just props. This one isn't.
