Need help rescuing Bartolomeo in Assassin's Creed II? Follow this guide to defeat guards, protect him, and escort him home safely. Plus, tips for collectibles!
Alright, let's get Bartolomeo out of a jam! First things first, head to the marker on your map. This will kick off a search area, and Bartolomeo is usually chilling pretty close to the center. Keep an eye out for guards posted in front of a cell – that's your cue you're in the right spot.
Walkthrough
- 1Defeat the initial guards: Take down the guards blocking the cell.
- 2Rescue Bartolomeo: Once they're down, free Bartolomeo. Be ready, because more guards are coming!
- 3Protect Bartolomeo: Your priority now is keeping him safe. Focus on any enemies attacking him directly.
- 4Proceed to the yellow marker: Escort Bartolomeo towards his home, which is marked by a yellow objective. Stick to the streets, and try to avoid unnecessary fights with any guards you encounter along the way, as this could lead to more trouble.
- 5Reach his home: Get Bartolomeo to the final yellow marker. A couple of guards will be waiting for a confrontation, but they should be no trouble at this stage.
- 6Mission End: After the brief fight, a cutscene will play, and the mission will conclude.
Tips
- The game opens up a lot after this mission, with more of Venice becoming accessible.
- Don't forget to check out the viewpoints in the east part of the city if you're feeling patient – it's a great way to uncover more of the map.
- Keep an eye out for the GLYPH on the east side of the dark grey building in the southeast, the San Pietro Di Castello. You can find it on the lower roof.
- For the "The Fourth Day" clue, think about what's "once worshipped" – the sun! The answers for that section are: Nazca Textile, Aztec Calendar Stone, The Eastern Gate, Sistine Chapel Ceiling Fresco, and Book of the Dead. For the final part, use the clicking sound to help you find the object related to the sun.
- There's a Codex Page almost directly north of the Nazca Textile location, near a tailor shop. It's worth uncovering from a viewpoint.
- The last GLYPH is on a building adjacent to a viewpoint in the north-east area of Venice. It's on the top, behind an arch-shaped mural.
- The slider puzzle in "The Origin of the Species" is tricky because many rings move together. Try to align the picture so the globe in the center is held by a hand underneath it. Then, experiment by moving pairs of rings, trying to fix one at a time. It might take some trial and error and improvisation.
- For the second part of "The Origin of the Species," you can literally play with the Creed catchphrase. Change the " - - - " to anything you like and hit enter.
- The final part of "The Origin of the Species" is simple: just hover the marker over all the skeleton's bones to complete it.
- After completing these, watch the unlocked video. It's normal to feel a bit confused afterward!
