'''The Hookblade''' is an extension of yourself, Ezio.

==Description==
After Ezio Auditore had upgraded his arsenal, he returned to [[Constantinople]]'s [[Galata headquarters|Assassin headquarters]].

==Dialogue==
[[File:Hookblade_3.png|thumb|right|250px|Yusuf displaying his Hookblade]]
*'''Yusuf:''' ''Praise the heavens! We feared we had lost our [[Mentor]] to the vices of the big city!''
*'''Ezio:''' ''I am content with my own vices, grazie'' (thank you).
*'''Yusuf:''' ''So, what's on your mind, Ezio?''
*'''Ezio:''' ''Tell me more about the [[Templars]]. You call them [[Byzantine Empire|Byzantines]], yet the Byzantine Empire was overthrown sixty years ago.''
*'''Yusuf:''' ''These men are remnants of a line loyal to the cause of the last Emperor, [[Constantine XI Palaiologos|Constantine XI]]. Who leads them now, however, I cannot say.''
*'''Ezio:''' ''Capisco.'' (I see.) ''I suppose it is up to me to find out.''
Yusuf noticed Ezio's second [[Hidden Blade]], which was broken.
*'''Yusuf:''' ''Ezio, where is your hookblade?''
*'''Ezio:''' ''My hookblade?''
*'''Yusuf:''' ''You've never seen one? I grew up using these.''
One of the Assassins nearby handed Yusuf a Hookblade, who passed it to Ezio. Following this, Ezio armed himself with the new blade.
*'''Ezio:''' ''Hmm, show me how it works.''
*'''Yusuf:''' ''Follow my lead!''
Yusuf [[Freerunning|free-ran]] up two walls, with Ezio close behind, before they arrived at a rooftop. At this point, Yusuf began to demonstrate the Hookblade's ability to extend an Assassin's reach while jumping.

*'''Yusuf:''' ''Think of the hookblade as an extension of yourself, Ezio.''
Shortly after, Yusuf reached a corner-mounted lamp.
*'''Yusuf:''' ''You think I can't make this one?''
Yusuf performed a long jump on the lamp with the Hookblade, and then laughed.
*'''Yusuf:''' ''Didn't break a sweat!''
After some time, the pair returned to the [[Galata Tower]], where Yusuf displayed the last of the Hookblade's moves.
*'''Yusuf:''' ''Watch and learn, Ezio. We call this a hook-and-run. Sprint at your opponent, and just as you reach him, use the Hookblade to slip by.''
Ezio practiced the hook-and-run maneuver.
*'''Yusuf:''' ''Shahane!'' (Good!)<br />''Harika!'' (Excellent!)

==Outcome==
Ezio gained a replacement for his broken Hidden Blade, and learned the maneuvers that could be performed with the Hookblade.
