Terme di Diocleziano Romulus Lair: Flags 87-89

Finding this Lair of Romulus for the first time can be a challenge. The icon on your map leads to a tent in a campground. The entrance is actually underground, directly below this tent. This video shows two ways to reach the entrance. The first is based on a procedure outlined by morninglord. At 0:25 I do a regular left jump. If you have the climbing gloves then you can also do a Climb Leap + Catch Ledge Left here.

We believe the game designers intended you to reach the entrance by repairing the aqueducts in two places. This brings water to Cloaca Maxima and allows Ezio to swim right up to the Lair of Romulus. The video shows where to make the two repairs. You may need to topple nearby Borgia towers in order to repair the aqueducts. I haven't determined the earliest time in the game when this approach becomes available.

Once inside Terme di Diocleziano there's plenty of chasing and fighting. The final fight is not shown but here's a tip: there are collapsible structures to Ezio's left and right. Draw the wolf men in by climbing on top of one. Then drop down and Grab/Throw one guy into the scaffold. You can take out a whole wave in one collapse. Repeat on the other side.

At the end of the video is a bonus segment suggested by Asaic. Smile

There are three Borgia Flags inside each Lair. If you are looking for a specific Flag refer to this index:
Flag 87 - 3:49
Flag 88 - 6:01
Flag 89 - 7:15

I'll have to see if they fixed that in the PC version. Might be a long bloody time before I get that far though, as I have been extremely crunched for time lately. Maybe somebody else can check first.

Wow, stabguy is swamping us with his Brotherhood videos again. How many are there now, 60? 70?
Wink !!

LOL J/K!!!!

Great work, though, stab. Your Ezio runs around so elegantly.

Check it out: three videos on the front page! You'd think I own the place or something. Laughing out loud

My favorite scene in this video starts at 3:28. After being ordered to "spill his blood", the four followers of Romulus don't even get ready to fight. They begin strolling over to examine the pile of dead bodies. One looks up at Ezio and says, "That's a funny outfit!" in an incongruous southern accent.

The hardest part for me was the final run from 6:30 to 6:50. In this take I momentarily got hung up on the wall at 6:32. It may have actually confused the wolf men because all their throwing knives missed and they basically cleared a path for Ezio.

Sorry about that magenta colored noise around 5:30. I will try to get that fixed.

You won't even feel the blade.
