The '''Golden Mask''' is used to grant access to Marco Barbarigo's exclusive party during [[Carnevale]]. It is a storyline item that must be acquired in order to progress to the target assassination.

==How to Obtain==
Once Ezio completes the four Carnivale challenges in one of which he defeats the Templar Soldiers and [[Dante Moro]] in a rigged fight, he was supposed to receive the Golden Mask as the reward, but [[Silvio Barbarigo Il Rosso|Silvio Barbarigo]] bribed the Carnivale announcer to give the mask to Dante instead.

[[Ezio]], [[Antonio]] and [[Sister Teodora]] plan on how to take the mask back. Ezio suggests killing Dante, but Antonio says to steal the mask from him using Sister Teodora's girls to distract him as killing Dante will surely cancel the party altogether. Sister Teodora also warns that before he even thinks of forging a replica, each mask is numbered to prevent unauthorized access with copies.

Once you steal the mask, it goes into effect once you enter [[Marco Barbarigo]]'s party, he must become hidden from the Templar guards under Dante while they look for Ezio and the mask.

==Trivia==
*The Golden Mask is only used during this mission.
*Several Pedestrians around the Dorsoduro district of Venice can be seen wearing the Golden Mask, but they will not drop it if killed or [[Pickpocket|pickpocketed]].
*The Golden Mask is the second and last mask Ezio wears in Assassin's Creed II, the first one being a plain silver one given to him by Leonardo to help disguise him during the Venice [[Carnevale]].

67.212.253.16:

The ''"Assassin's Creed"'' series has some '''easter eggs''' inside it's games, and many other games had Easter Eggs related to ''Assassin's Creed'' such as ''Metal Gear Solid 4'', ''Grand Theft Auto IV'' and the 2008 version of ''Prince of Persia''. This page lists them.

=Assassin's Creed=
*Transformers: the face of Optimus Prime in truck mode on walls (more info needed)
*When you're leaving [[Masyaf]] for the first time, one of the Assassins in Kingdom is glowing red while using Eagle Vision on him. But when you attack him, other Assassins will attack you.
**This assassin is actually [[Jamal]], the traitor inside the order that along with [[Masun]] opened the gates for the [[Knights Templar|Templar]] [[Siege of Masyaf|attack at Masyaf]]. It was to be originally a mission target, but the mission was cut and the character remained as a minor [[easter egg]].

=Assassin's Creed II=
''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'' has some few '''Easter Eggs'''.

===Mario===
[[Video:Assassin's Creed 2: It's a-me, Mario!|300px|left]]
At the beginning of the third sequence, [[Mario Auditore da Firenze|Ezio's Uncle]] says "It's-a-me! Mario!" which is a reference to Super Mario Bros. To further support this is Mario Auditore's Italian nationality, like Mario of Super Mario Bros.

Another reference to Nintendo's Mario is that both Mario's wear red, while the Mario's mercenaries wear green, much like Nintendo's Mario's brother, Luigi.

===Giant Octopus===
[[File:Zw-easteregg.png|thumb|300px|left|The Giant Octopus]]
A [[Giant Octopus|giant octopus]] can be found in the Assassin's Tomb of [[Santa Maria Della Visitazione]]. The octopus appears before and after activating the lever that brings out the bars used to traverse the final chamber.

[[File:Zw-easteregg-2.png|thumb|300px|left|Ezio about to dodge its tentacle]]
To find the giant octopus, you must look down into the water near the lever for a minute. Once a minute or so has passed, a cut-scene plays, showing a large octopus swimming by. A second cutscene can be activated if the player pulls the lever and looks down again. The cut-scene shows Ezio narrowly dodging the octopus's tentacle, before it swims away.

===[[Altaïr's Robes|Altaïr's Outfit]]===
[[Video:Assassin's creed 2- Altaïr's outfit (not to be confused with his armor.)|left|300px]]
Altaïr's outfit from ''Assassin's Creed'' can be unlocked via [[Uplay]] by purchasing it for 30 points. It does not add/change any stat points for Ezio. It can also be worn in conjunction with any cape, allowing the player to wear the Altaïr outfit and still maintain 0% notoriety with the Medici or Venetian Capes.

===Ghosts of the Past===
After downloading The Bonfire of the Vanities DLC, you are briefly able to see a vision of your whole family. After you meet up with Niccolo Machiavelli, return to Palazzo Auditore and step into the center of the courtyard. Ezio will enter a mode similar to his [[Eagle Vision]] and be able to see the figures of his parents and all of his siblings around the palazzo. Once you leave, the vision will disappear and you will not be able to see it again. (The vision cannot be viewed if you have completed Bonfire of the Vanities, so make sure to do this beforehand.)

==Carnevale Preformer Spits Fire==
When a Preformer is about to blow the fire upwards, and he is close to a merchant stand, grab anyone nearby and throw them into it.Everyone near it will die, including the Preformer, but fire keeps coming from his mouth though.

===Tools===
Some NPC's tools can be used as [[Improper Weapons]]:
*[[Carnevale]]'s violins
*Brooms
*Fishing Poles
*Rakes
*Pitchforks

=Assassin's Creed in Other Media=
The stories and characters of ''[[Assassin's Creed]]'' are featured not only in the official video games, but in other medias as well.

===Metal Gear Solid 4 cameo===
On April Fools' Day 2008, it was revealed that an [[Altaïr]] costume for Snake could be unlocked in the game Metal Gear Solid 4. [[Wikipedia:Hideo Kojima|Hideo Kojima]] (from Konami, the creators of [[File:Metal-gear-solid-4-guns-of-the-patriots.jpg|thumb|Metal Gear Solid Altair custom]]Metal Gear Solid 4) later announced that this was no joke, the costume would really be unlocked if the player did "something special". In order to unlock the costume, the player must either acquire the "Assassin Emblem" (a nod to the game's title), or input a password in the Extras section.

The password has been revealed to be ''aottrykmyn ''<ref>[http://twobrothersandasister.com/?p=2365 Two Brothers and a Sister]</ref>
