A complete walkthrough for the Shipwrecked Templar Lair in Assassin's Creed II, detailing every step, including combat, platforming, and a shortcut to assassinate your target.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Dive under the gate and swim forward. Climb out, then climb the wall above the bars. Perform a ledge assassination on the guard and climb up.
  2. 2
    Turn left (north) and climb the wall. Drop down to the guards below and disarm them.
  3. 3
    On the north wall, use the stack of crates to climb up. Shimmy to Ezio's right and jump to the platform at the end.
  4. 4
    Jump to the framework of the boat in the center. Follow it north, around the front, and along the other side. Jump to the hanging platform, then to another part of the boat's shell. Use Climb Leap to grasp the higher ledge, then jump left to another platform.
  5. 5
    Jump across the platforms to the north. Defeat the two attacking guards.
  6. 6
    Go to the west end of the platform and jump towards the group of beams to your left. Jump from beam to beam. Drop down the side and shimmy south. Continue shimmying around the side until you can swing across a pole to another ledge.
  7. 7
    After a short scene, assassinate the Brute from the ledge. Chase the Agile guard. Climb over, run to the far end, and go left after him. Jump down to the small platform, turn left, and jump to another to enter the boat's interior.
  8. 8
    Turn right and climb the platform to the top. Turn right again and follow the framework to the middle section. Cross to the east side of the room. Turn right, go through the gap in the bars, and continue chasing the Agile.
  9. 9
    Continue hopping gaps between beams and swinging across poles to keep up with the Agile.
  10. 10
    When you enter the brick-laden corridor, take the shortcut: As soon as you enter and turn right, climb the large stones shaped like stairs on the left. Jump for the flower pot to swing into the adjacent corridor. Wait for the Agile to run underneath you and perform the assassination.
  11. 11
    If you miss the shortcut, you will have to fight guards hand-to-hand. Open the door to the treasure room. Swim across the moat to find four chests and a strong box. Leave through the secret door to the left.
  12. 12
    Return to Bartolomeo.
Tips
  • The camera can be difficult to manage during some platforming sections; pay close attention to Ezio's movements and the environment.
  • The shortcut in the brick-laden corridor is highly recommended for an easy assassination.
  • If you miss the assassination opportunity, the subsequent hand-to-hand combat is manageable.
