Family Heirloom

First things first, head back to the Auditore home. Once you're inside, it's time to get familiar with Eagle Vision. Hold down the Triangle button to activate it. This is super useful – it'll highlight allies in blue and enemies in red, but more importantly for this mission, it'll reveal hidden things. Keep an eye out for a secret entrance within the house.

Interact with that secret entrance to find the hidden room. Inside, you'll find a chest. Open it up, and you'll trigger a scene where you get some new gear: the Assassin Robes, a sword, and a broken hidden blade. You also grab the documents Giovanni wanted you to deliver to Uberto.

As you try to leave the secret room, two guards will show up. They're not too happy about you getting Ezio's new threads. Don't worry, you've got a sword now! Draw it and lock onto one of them. You'll notice combat is a bit different from the first game. To counter, press the Square button just as an enemy's attack is about to land. It might take a little practice, but it's a great way to take them down. If you're struggling with the timing, you can always just attack normally. Keep an eye on those red squares above their heads – that's their health, and it'll deplete with each hit, even if they block. You can even chain attacks together for a combo if you time your strikes right.

Once those two guards are dealt with, it's time to head over to Uberto's house. You might run into some more guards on the way. Feel free to engage them if you want some extra practice, and remember to loot their bodies if you're looking for a few extra florins. You might even encounter some unarmed enemies; if you do, a single swing will take them out instantly. You can also grab them and perform a kill by pressing Square.

Finally, make your way to Uberto's house and interact with the entrance to trigger a short scene. That's it for this part! Hopefully, everything goes smoothly from here.
