Walkthrough for Assassin's Creed II's In Bocca Al Lupo mission, including tips for defeating Rodrigo and navigating stealth sections.
Walkthrough
- 1Start by climbing the fixed route near the water. You can jump to the beam even if it looks impossible.
- 2Climb up and defeat the guards, prioritizing the Brute spearman. Operate the lever.
- 3In the next area, perform a double Hidden Blade kill on the two unsuspecting guards.
- 4Climb crates and barrels, then use an Advanced Wall Jump to reach the right balcony.
- 5Counter the attacking guard and kill him, then throw the lever. Drop down and proceed through the doorway.
- 6Use Hidden Blade attacks on some guards and normal combat with counters for others. You can only disarm weakened guards.
- 7Climb the tower to reach the marker and trigger a cutscene (a non-interactive cinematic the game plays automatically).
- 8You will start on horseback but will likely be knocked down. You cannot cross the gap on horseback.
- 9Defeat necessary enemies, then cross the gap. The next gate will be lowered.
- 10Do not attempt to go through the lowered gate. Instead, climb the tower. You will need to defeat most or all pursuing enemies first.
- 11Sneak attack one guard on the tower and rush the other with Hidden Blade kills.
- 12Take a Leap of Faith (a jump into a haystack or other soft landing) to reach the next section.
- 13Defeat the remaining guards, disarming the Brute spearman first. Remember to use medicine (healing items) when needed.
- 14Climb down the tower without a haystack below. Use the two haystacks further down for Ledge Assassinations (assassinations from a wall's edge) or Hiding Assassinations (assassinations from a haystack). Alternatively, charge in.
- 15Climb the next tower and Ledge Assassinate the lone guard.
- 16Run up to the other two guards for a Double Hidden Blade Kill.
- 17Perform an Air Assassination (an assassination from above) from the tower on the guard below.
- 18Climb the next wall and quickly kill the guard there.
- 19Climb to the top of the wall and perform a Double Air Assassination on the two guards below. A large fight will erupt upon landing with four Brutes and lower guards.
- 20Steal a Brute's weapon to easily kill him and at least one other enemy. Continue this strategy until all enemies are dead.
- 21Climb the wall in the corner and operate the lever to open a door below.
- 22Enter the next area and remain undetected. Assassinate the two guards from behind. Throw the lever.
- 23In the next corridor, use crowds of monks (NPCs, non-player characters) to blend in (hide among them) and avoid suspicious guards. Do not assassinate guards here, as it will cause the monks to run away, removing your hiding spots.
- 24Wait for patrolling guards to pass and move between groups of monks to reach the back of the large guard group and the lever.
- 25Cross the chapel to reach Rodrigo on a hanging platform. Perform an Air Assassination.
- 26After a cutscene, a fight with Rodrigo begins. He uses a staff like a spear and is very durable. You cannot counter or disarm him. Use your copies of yourself to attack when they engage. Dodge and attack, focusing on combos and sustained pressure.
- 27Alternatively, use a dagger for more frequent hits or throwing knives to deplete his health.
- 28After another scene, use Eagle Vision (a special vision mode) to see two buttons on the wall beside Rodrigo's secret passage. Press them to descend into a pit.
- 29Approach Rodrigo for a fist fight. Countering his attacks is the best strategy. Grabbing him and repeatedly headbutting/kicking him is also effective.
Tips
- When fighting guards, prioritize disarming Brute spearmen.
- Use the environment for stealth kills, such as Ledge Assassinations or Hiding Assassinations.
- During the large fight with Brutes, stealing a Brute's weapon is a key strategy.
- In stealth sections, avoid assassinating guards to maintain hiding spots among monks.
- For the fight against Rodrigo with the staff, use dodging and attacking, focusing on combos.
- Consider using daggers or throwing knives for the staff fight against Rodrigo for easier damage.
- For the final fist fight against Rodrigo, countering his attacks is the most effective method.
- Grabbing and repeatedly attacking Rodrigo in the fist fight can also be a faster strategy.
