72.139.9.240: /* Connor's Eagle Vision/Sense? */ new section

There are also the whisper noise, "showing" player the direction of his current target.
Very nice, if you do not use GPS for realism...

-Yeah but it's not really a gift. Is it really notable, after all it's just to make the game more realistic and it's not unique in Assassin's Creed.

== why is the hidden messages glowing red ? ==

i thought red was enemy wouldn't that mean subject 16 is your enemy ? [[User:Twomey1993|Twomey1993]] 19:56, November 16, 2009 (UTC)

I think its so it can be easily seen against the dark walls. Not sure though....

because it is written in blood

*Also, the glyphs arn't really there, they are just part of a computer program Subject 16 wrote for the Animus, so it is likely he programmed the glyphs to glow.--[[User:Joecool280|joecool280]] 19:08, January 7, 2010 (UTC)

== How? ==

How is it that you see memory starts in your eagle vision if you are veiwing it from ezio/altair's memory. I dont think thats what they saw.
:What??? -- [[User:D. Cello|D. Cello]] 04:00, June 20, 2010 (UTC)
:
:Its put there so YOU can see it while in Eagle Vision.

== Artistic Speculation ==

I haven't had the chance, myself, since selling the 360, but I wanted to ask; what visual effect does activating Eagle Vision take on the current role's eyes? I've heard, and seen it drawn as the assassin having a faintly golden iris, or completely blue shine. But again, I'm only wondering and would maybe like to see a few screens as reference.

Thought you can't see in game how it looks, La Volpe is another major Assassin, credited with strange purple eyes. Seeing as life of a theif means its important to know your friends and foes, he may use it almost all the time. Plus the landscape from AC2 and AC:Brotherhood is a mix of blues and purples, in Eagle Vision mode.

[[User:Vegna Gunner|Vegna Gunner]] 21:45, December 1, 2010 (UTC)

I dont think la volpe used his eagle vison at all times otherwise he would have been able to tell that niccolo was an ally

: Plus, Eagle vision is defined as an ability only present in Assassins that are direct descendants of Adam and Eve. I doubt that Volpe is one.--[[User:Black Artist|Black Artist]] 20:22, May 8, 2011 (UTC)

== Project Legacy ==

To all of you project legacy players: I have a minor speculation.

Eagle Vision is inherited by those of the lineage of Adam and Eve, and in Sequence 2 about Giovanni Borgia, Giovanni is using Eagle Vision. So could it be that Giovanni, and therefore his father, are related to Desmond, or perhaps Subject 16, since they are ,probably, the only modern-day assassins with Eagle Vision ??

Well, possibly, but Adam and Eve weren't the only 1st generation hybrids, as Juno speaks a bit more generally about the hybrids, not that there were only those two. It's only confirmed that 16 and Desmond are both decended from Ezio, who has an illigetimite child before the codex is completed, Giovanni's father could've been from a completely
different line of hybrids.

:Not every Assassin is Desmond's ancestor :P [[User:Alpheta|Alpheta]] 01:55, January 6, 2011 (UTC)

== "Super Power" ==

Is it actually a "superpower" does Ezio, Altair, Desmond etc actually have the ability to make things glow to their eyes? When I played the games, I got the impression that that "eagle vision" as the player sees it is just an interface. I thought "eagle vision" was just that the assassins were trained to notice things with greater acutity; ike a Sherlock Holms or Robet Langdon style ability rather than an actual "super power". The "eagle vision" as the player sees it is just for the sake of the player and is not supposed to reflect how Altair/Ezio/Desmond actually see.

This goes futher because I had to edit a page about La Vope, as one of the rumours that he could "see through walls" was seemingly taken as fact and refered to as another super-power akin to eagle vision. [[Special:Contributions/94.7.253.227|94.7.253.227]] 13:56, January 3, 2011 (UTC)

:To end this discussion once and for all, I give you something already explained on forums:

*Actually, Eagle's vision is Altaïr's (or his ancestors) instinct about someone. It is a gut feeling, a hintch. It is a visual way to show us what Altaïr perceives aroudn him, the intentions of other people, and all of that CAN NOT be understood if you thin krationally. It is intuition. So, Maria was red cause she intented to kill him, as do all guards when they find an assassin. If they dont' mean harm and may actually help, Altaïr perceives them as friendly, hence the blue color. Gold is jsut a way of saying "s/he's going somewhere/doing something, and I must follow/kill/interrogate or whatever is necessary now". -- D. Cello 02:29, December 11, 2010 (UTC)
*Personally, I have to agree with D. Cello, because it seems to be one of the sixth sense abilities that Juno was talking about in Brotherhood. It's a genetic ability to sense others' dispositions towards yourself, and then display those intuitions to the individual as an occular distortion. I'm assuming that it can be influenced and overridden by certain emotional and mental factors, like all senses can, or that people can hide things from it, and appear to be what they're not. Dereisenherz 17:53, December 16, 2010 (UTC)
:Hope this settles. -- [http://assassinscreed.wikia.com/wiki/User:D._Cello D. Cello] 22:03, January 5, 2011 (UTC)
::True, but what about all the hidden symbols/messages and Subject 16's blood that Desmond could see (with Eagle Vision) in Abstergo, etc..? (The ones that were invisible to the naked eye) --[[User:ThiefAC|'''THIEF ''']]23:17, January 5, 2011 (UTC)
:Same thing with Abstergo's Animi lab keypad: I have no idea. XD -- [http://assassinscreed.wikia.com/wiki/User:D._Cello D. Cello] 23:19, January 5, 2011 (UTC)
:Eagle vision is caused by their ancestry EG: Those Who Came Before.

::I think it is because how you play the AC games is in the style as if you are in an animus and reveling desmonds memorys as he dose ezio and altir so that is why desmonds eagle vision as it is [[User:Cl1ntz|Cl1ntz]] 16:29, December 1, 2011 (UTC)

I think eagle vision is like a sixth sense that heightens other senses. So it allowed them to see things that others couldnt like the fingerprints and cryptic messages, and to perceive who is a frien or enemy. [[User:IlMualim|IlMualim]] 17:16, January 3, 2012 (UTC)

== A couple things to remember ==
A lot of people say Desmond inherited his eagle vision but it is revealed that he only got it through the bleeding effect not being born with it. Why did he not have it originally even though he is a descendant of TWCB? Also in AC1 the animus tells you that it is creating eagle vision based off Altair's intuition but it is later stated that assassins had eagle vision, the makers probably decided to change it but at the end of AC1 Desmond has eagle vision. Did they forget to change what the animus says? Oversight?[[User:Ryukoshu|Ryukoshu]] 23:28, January 5, 2011 (UTC)
:Perhaps Desmond had eagle vision all along, but he only just learned how to use it through the Animus and the bleeding effect. — [[User:M.C.Tales|M.C.Tales]] 04:00, May 1, 2011 (UTC)
::Perhaps the ability evolved. Remember that not ALL assassins have it, only Altaïr's bloodline. Maybe the gene that controls it evolved from simple emotion sensing to actually perceiving hidden things, almsot like a sixth sense. -- [http://assassinscreed.wikia.com/wiki/User:D._Cello D. Cello] 04:08, May 1, 2011 (UTC)
::It's also important to remember that a lot of genes are only activiated by external stimuli. An example of such genes can be found in asthma and schizophrenia. Which are usually only activated by a harsh environment (in the case of asthma) and prolonged stress (schizophrenia). Now, i'm not sure what effect the animus would have on a person's active and inactive genes.... considering that what i'm talking about has empirical evidence, and genetic memory is something i learned about from play assassin's creed 1 when they were explaining how the animus functions. I suppose it is not impossible that when reliving the memories of Altair, Desmond's gene from eagle vision was activated due to the fact that Altair's eagle vision was already active. This might have left a sort of "residue" in Desmonds DNA which accounts for the activation of Eagle Vision though the bleeding effect. Hope this was helpful, anybody who thinks differently or has a contributino to my theory is more than welcome to join me in friendly debate/conversation. [[User:Mrbear420|Mrbear420]] 05:32, May 17, 2011 (UTC)

Just a suggestion but maybe after years of interbreeding between hybrids and normal people the ability became dormant? [[Special:Contributions/46.186.192.104|46.186.192.104]] 13:19, October 18, 2011 (UTC)

== Eagle Vision in Real Life? ==

Auras do exist, and they often convey emotion. Not everyone is able to do it though. I personally believe that there is such a thing as what some would refer to as Eagle Vision.

It is rather difficult to achieve, and usually requires a bit of concentration and refocusing your eyes. I have achieved it several times, and you'll be suprised at how much it resembles Eagle Vision in the game.

I do believe not everyone can do it. Most of my friends cannot achieve it and there is only one person that I know has been able to achieve this; my father.

I have noted that the coloring of the objects/people I see really do change according to my intintions and relationship with. So, could a small group of people really have "Second Eyes"?

Obviously, Ubisoft must not have created this on their own...

:You're getting superstitious here. Your mind believes what you want it to believe. Eagle vision is Altaïr's intuition conveyed through graphical means identifiable to the subject playing the memory, nothing more. -- [http://assassinscreed.wikia.com/wiki/User:D._Cello D. Cello] 04:07, May 1, 2011 (UTC)
:
:Hey, should the line
"Assassin's Creed states that the eagle vision ability is actually just the Animus' visualization of the Assassin's observational skills. However, as later refers to Assassins seeing "the blue shimmer," the backstory for Eagle Vision was likely changed to be a real-world ability."
be changed? it seems like in the first game warren V. was keeping all of the inner story (pieces of eden and those who came before, the bleeding effect, the truth of eagle vision, etc...) is it possible that the story of it being a feature of the animus was just a lie to Desmond, or that Lucy would have hidden the truth of eagle vision and called it a program in the animus to hide it from templars? just seems like that is too big of a mistake to make, especially since it was not during a convorsation with a character, where changing audio lines would be a lot of work, if they changed the idea halfway through, what is stopping them from just removing that particular line as opposed to leaving it there and causing a contradiction in the plot? [[Special:Contributions/97.126.53.217|97.126.53.217]] 19:35, May 8, 2011 (UTC)
:Cause the eagle vision the way WE see it IS a Animus render. Specifically, they state that "the Eagle Vision is a visual render of your ancestor's (Altaïr) ability to perceive other's intentions." Now, Ezio's one is a more full-fledged thing, so my guess is that it somehow evolved between generations. -- [http://assassinscreed.wikia.com/wiki/User:D._Cello D. Cello] 19:54, May 8, 2011 (UTC)
:
:so you are saying that Altair's form of the sixth sense may have been slightly different, and that ezio's would have evolved to become what we see in the game, and then desmond's sixth sense could have just manifested itself in the real life eagle vision from the first game, and evolved from there to become more like ezios, and start to become the fuller sixth sense? I actually never thought about it that way, if it is supposed to be like that I think it just makes the plot that much better. [[User:Harleyzone|Harleyzone]] 20:08, May 8, 2011 (UTC)
:I think i know what you mean at school once they had a gray and black disk and said that if some peopple consintrate that when it spins they can see the hiden colurs so i did as did everyone else the disk started to spin and to my suprise it truned into dul colurs but i was the only one in my class to see it. its also odd how i persive peopple in general i just seam to notice how peopple feel e.g. if there angry or sad i dont know if the two are conected but it whould be cool to think i have some form of eagle vision [[User:Cl1ntz|Cl1ntz]] 16:48, December 1, 2011 (UTC)

== Connor's Eagle Vision/Sense? ==

Does anyone know if Connor, the new protagonist in Assassin's Creed: III, will possess a form of Eagle Vision/Sense?

'''A Little Errand''' is a memory in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations]]''.

==Description==
[[Ezio Auditore da Firenze|Ezio Auditore]] converses with [[Sofia Sartor]] at her bookshop. Sofia mentions that she has to go to Adrianopoli to see the new printing press there, and wants Ezio to come with her. Ezio, incapable of accompanying her to the city, rejects the offer. She then supposes a trade; a bouquet of fresh white tulips for more information.
==Dialogue==
[[File:Little errand 1.png|250px|thumb|Ezio at talking to Sofia.]]
Ezio reads a book in Sofia's shop.
*'''Sofia:''' ''Enjoying the poem?''
*'''Ezio:''' ''Who were these men he condemned to hell?''
*'''Sofia:''' ''Political opponents, men who wronged him. [[Dante Alighieri|Alighieri]]'s quill cuts deeply, no?''
*'''Ezio:''' ''Sì.'' (Yes.) ''It is a subtle way to seek revenge.''
*'''Sofia:''' ''Ezio. I plan to make a trip to Adrianopoli in a few weeks to visit a new printing press there.''
*'''Ezio:''' ''That should be fun.''
*'''Sofia:''' ''It is a five or six day ride from here, and I will need an escort...''
*'''Ezio:''' ''Prego? ''(Pardon?)
*'''Sofia:''' ''I'm sorry. You are a busy man.''
*'''Ezio:''' ''Sofia, I would love to accompany you, but my time is running short.''
*'''Sofia:''' ''That is true for all of us.'' ''Well, I can try to solve this last code now, but I need to run an errand before sundown. Can you wait a day?''
*'''Ezio:''' ''What do you need?''
*'''Sofia:''' ''It is silly but... a bouquet of fresh flowers. White tulips, specifically.''
*'''Ezio:''' ''I can get you the flowers. Nessun problema.'' (No problem.)
*'''Sofia:''' ''Are you sure?''
*'''Ezio:''' ''It will be a nice change of pace.''
*'''Sofia:''' ''Bene. (Okay.) Meet me in the park east of Ayasofya'' (Hagia Sophia) ''and we will trade. Flowers for information.''
Ezio makes his way to a merchant.
*'''Merchant:''' ''You look like a man with money to spend. What do you need, dostum'' (my friend)?
[[File:Little errand 3.png|250px|thumb|The Merchant assuring to get the flowers.]]
*'''Ezio:''' ''Tulips. White, if you have them.''
*'''Merchant:''' ''Ah, tulips! Forgive me, but I am fresh out. Something else, perhaps?''
*'''Ezio:''' ''It is not my call, unfortunately.''
*'''Merchant:''' ''All right, listen. I may know where to get fresh tulips. You wait here and I will return. One hour. Two at most...''
*'''Ezio (to himself):''' ''I am not waiting an hour.''
Ezio tails the merchant and finds white tulips. He picks a bouquet and returns to Sofia.
*'''Ezio:''' ''What is this?''
*'''Sofia:''' ''A gift. Sit.''
Ezio hands Sofia the flowers and sits down next to her.
[[File:Little errand 6.png|250px|thumb|Ezio along with Sofia.]]
*'''Sofia:''' ''Che belli, grazie.'' (These are nice, thank you.) ''I wanted to thank you for letting me play a small role in your adventure.''
*'''Ezio:''' ''A small role is enough for this adventure, believe me.''
*'''Sofia:''' ''You are a mystery, Ezio Auditore.''
*'''Ezio:''' ''Mi dispiace.'' (I'm sorry.) ''I do not mean to be.''
*'''Sofia:''' ''It is fine. È affascinante.'' (It's attractive.)
*'''Ezio:''' ''Sembra squisito. (Looks delicious.)''
*'''Sofia:''' ''Why, thank you.''
*'''Ezio:''' ''Any luck with the final code?''
*'''Sofia:''' ''Ah, the code. Sì. ''(Yes.) ''I solved it many hours ago. You will get it soon enough.''

==Outcome==
Ezio obtains the flowers and gains more information regarding another book location.

==Trivia==
*When Ezio gets tulips, he only picks up three, but when he meets up with Sofia, he is shown giving her five tulips instead.
*If the player replays this memory, but declines, Ezio's hood will remain down.
**After doing this, Ezio's hood will raise back up if the player replays the memory and plays it all the way through.
