The Hidden Blade Assassin's Creed in Depth

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).

After you leave the area, the gate to the compound is no longer modeled in the game. The developers forgot to put it back in place when you return. This mission is loosely related to "There is no spoon"-type missions:

Still Life - Dynamic Stunt
The target circles around the yard untill he sees something suspicious, at which time he flees to a waypoint on the south side of Palazzo Pitti. This gives a brief opportunity to perform my favorite type of stunt - where both you and the target are running full speed toward the stunt location.

The Art of Assassin's Creed 2

Firstly, Let me explain why I decide to make videos. I love gaming, it has been my passion since I was 8 years old. To me, gaming is an art form, just like movies and music, so in my videos I try to show that side of gaming. I decided to make my first video for Oblivion because I thought that user created mods made the game even better, so I decided to showcase them. I recieved great feedback so since then I have made a further 15 videos highlighting the best parts of games but with a twist. I will only do a video if I get an idea, instead of just putting out gameplay videos. I generally take the same approach to all my videos, so I'll describe how my video for Assassin's Creed 2 came about.

Differential Notoriety

The five targets in the Meeting Adjourned mission are dispersed in a small room with many guards, which makes this mission seem like an unlikely candidate for anonymous poisoning. Fortunately, the developers made an unusual choice in the design of this mission: The room is not a high alert area. Instead, they elevated the awareness levels of the targets so that they behave as if you were Notorious, which is functionally similar to making the room a high alert area - except that the developers did not change the guards in the room correspondingly. As a result, the targets and guards behave differently in this mission, which is what I exploit in this mission design to poison all of the targets while remaining unseen (no yellow bars) to all of the guards.

This contract is slightly harder than the others when going for stealth. If you get anywhere near the guard, he will run. Also, if you kill any guards behind him without him seeing them, he will still run.

10 Brutes in 60 seconds. The usual advice for this contract mission is to use smoke bombs and/or poison. Smoke bombs disable your opponents for easy killing, and the poison delays the start of the timer. (The countdown starts when the first Brute dies.) This video uses other strategies that let you kill everyone using only hidden blades.
