'''On The Attack''' is a memory in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations]]''.
==Description==
With the [[Galata District|Galata]] [[Assassin Dens|den]] protected from the [[Byzantine Empire|Byzantine]] [[Templars|Templar]] attack, [[Ezio Auditore]] headed out in search of [[Yusuf Tazim]] who had planned to defend the [[Grand Bazaar]] den.

As advised by a fellow [[Assassins|Assassin]], Ezio travelled by a boat across the [[Golden Horn]], towards the [[Imperial District]]. Ezio was welcomed by Yusuf who was surrounded by a group of Byzantines. After dealing with the Templars, Yusuf informed that he was too late to defend the den but proposed to take it back by assassinating the den's captain.
==Dialogue==
[[File:On_the_attack_2.png|thumb|right|250px|Yusuf informing Ezio about the captured den.]]
Ezio crossed the Golden Horn and arrived at the port, north of the Imperial district. Upon noticing Ezio, Yusuf called out to him while being surrounded by Byzantines.
*'''Yusuf:''' ''Ezio! Come meet my new friends!''
:Ezio and Yusuf deal with the attackers together.
*'''Yusuf:''' ''You fight like a man late for his own wedding.''
*'''Ezio:''' ''Sì'' (Yes), ''by twenty-five years.''
*'''Yusuf:''' ''I was too late to save the Bazaar den, unfortunately. But now that my army has doubled in size, we'll take it back together. This way''
Ezio and Yusuf moved towards the Templar controlled den.
*'''Yusuf:''' ''When the Templars take control of a district, they flaunt their presence, hanging banners, extorting the merchants. It's a constant battle to keep them at bay, and they rub our noses in every victory.''
*'''Ezio:''' ''They are quite bold. Why does the Sultan tolerate this?''
*'''Yusuf:''' ''Sultan [[Bayezid II|Bayezid]] is far away, Ezio. Warring with his son [[Selim I|Selim]] many fersah'' (leagues) ''northwest of the city.'' ''He has been away for years, at least since the earthquake, and maybe even before. He is blind to all this turmoil.''
*'''Ezio:''' ''Ah, but your eyes are open, sì''(yes)?
*'''Yusuf:''' ''Hem de fal lashi gibi.'' (Like two full moons.) ''Believe it.''
On their way Yusuf and Ezio encountered a group of Byzantine guards.
[[File:On_the_attack_4.png|thumb|right|250px|Yusuf preparing to distract the Byzantine guards.]]
*'''Yusuf:''' ''Too many to engage directly.''
*'''Ezio:''' ''Hmm, I am not confident a [[Bombs|smoke bomb]] will help us here.''
*'''Yusuf:''' ''Smoke bomb? Ezio, it's time you [[Italy|Italians]] joined the sixteenth century. These do not obscure, they distract.''
Yusuf hurled a bomb at the opposite direction. The Byzantine guards moved from their posts to investigate the noise.
*'''Yusuf:''' ''You see? They can't resist. Let's move.''
*'''Ezio:''' ''You are full of surprises today.''
*'''Yusuf:''' ''Crafting explosives is a new hobby, one we borrowed from the [[China|Chinese]] and have taken to with great passion.''
*'''Ezio:''' ''You will have to teach me.''
*'''Yusuf:''' ''Who is the Mentor here, Ezio? I'm beginning to wonder.''
Ezio and Yusuf encountered more Byzantine guards.
*'''Yusuf:''' ''Your turn. Make me proud.''
Yusuf handed a bomb to Ezio suggesting to distract the guards.
*'''Yusuf:''' ''There they go.'' ''Hurry. We're nearly there.''
They arrived at a rooftop opposite to the Templar occupied den.
[[File:On_the_attack_14.png|thumb|right|250px|Ezio igniting the signal fire.]]
*'''Yusuf:''' ''This is another of our many dens. Taken by Templars, as you can see.'' ''Somewhere among this rabble is the Templar captain. Kill him, then climb the tower and light our signal fire. This warns the Templars that it is time to pack up and go.''
*'''Ezio:''' ''Bene.'' (Good.) ''You can create a distraction. I will send them home.''
Yusuf and his men cleared the rooftops along with Ezio. With the guards dead, Yusuf and Ezio tried to locate the den's captain.
*'''Yusuf:''' ''Whenever the Templars commandeer one of our dens, they leave a Captain in charge. Search the area carefully and you might see him strutting about like a peacock.'' ''Use those legendary senses of yours, Ezio, and scan the streets. You'll find our target.''
Ezio used his [[Eagle Vision#Eagle Sense|Eagle Sense]] to identify the Captain. With the target in sight Ezio assassinated him, freeing the den from Templar control.

==Outcome==
With Ezio's assistance, Yusuf Tazim and the Assassins took back a den controlled by the Byzantine Templars.

==Trivia==

*To achieve full [[synchronization]], Ezio must not create any conflict in the Imperial District.

'''A Warm Welcome''' is a memory in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations]]''.

==Description==
Arriving at [[Constantinople]], [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]] met the leader of the local [[Assassins Guild]], [[Yusuf Tazim]]. On their way to the Guild's headquarters, they were attacked by [[Byzantines]]. The two Assassins eventually managed to fight the Byzantines off and arrived safely at the [[Galata headquarters]].

==Dialogue==
[[File:ACR_Welcome_3.png|thumb|right|250px|Ezio and Suleiman on the ship.]]
Arriving on a ship, Ezio unknowingly introduced himself to [[Suleiman I]]:
* '''Ezio''': ''A magnificent sight.''
* '''Suleiman''': ''It is a work in progress.''
* '''Ezio''': ''No city in Europa has a skyline quite like this.''
* '''Suleiman''': ''Well, to be precise, that is Europa... that is Asia.''
* '''Ezio''': ''Ah... some borders even the Ottomans cannot move.''
* '''Suleiman''': ''Very few. You are Italian by the sound of it, but your outfit is not. Have you been traveling long?''
* '''Ezio''': ''Sì, da molto tempo.'' (Yes, a very long time.) ''I left Roma twelve months ago, looking for... inspiration. And that search brought me here. When I was a child, my father told me stories about the fall of Costantinopoli.''
* '''Suleiman''': ''You must mean the conquest of Konstantiniyee. I suppose the moral of any story matches the temper of the man telling it.''
* '''Ezio''': ''That we can agree on.''
* '''Suleiman''': ''Guzel!'' (I am glad.) ''Konstantiniyee is a city for all kinds and creeds. Students like me or... travelers such as yourself.''

The ship docked.
*'''Suleiman''': ''I have so much work to return to, but it is good to be home.''
*'''Ezio''': ''Work?!'' ''When I was your age, my interests were... [Sees [[Sofia Sartor]]] were mainly... Salve. (Hello.)''
*'''Suleiman''': ''Incredible. I am surprised you got anything done.''
*'''Ezio''': ''As was my [[Maria Auditore da Firenze|mother]].''
*'''Suleiman''': ''It was a pleasure speaking with you. Beyefendi.'' (Sir.) ''I hope you find something to hold your interest here.''
*'''Ezio''': ''I have faith I will.''

Sofia dropped a package.
*'''Suleiman''': ''Yardim edebiir miyim Effindim?'' (May I, my lady?)
*'''Sofia''': ''Grazie'' (Thank you), ''dear boy.''
*'''Ezio''': ''A scholar and a gentleman, you are full of surprises.''
*'''Suleiman''': ''Very few, my friend. Eksik Olmayin!'' (May God bless you!)

The Master Assassin Yusuf Tazim greeted him.
[[File:ACR_Welcome_6.png|thumb|right|250px|Yusuf introducing himself.]]
* '''Yusuf''': ''Hoshgeldin Kardeshim!'' (Welcome brother!) ''Unless the legend is a lie, you are the man I long to meet. Renowned Master and [[Mentor]], Ezio Auditore de la la la!''
* '''Ezio''': ''Prego?'' (Excuse me?)
* '''Yusuf''': ''Forgive me. I have a hard time remembering that Italian gibberish.''
* '''Ezio''': ''Da Firenze. The city where I was born.''
* '''Yusuf''': ''Ah yes! So by your custom, I would be... Yusuf Tazim da Istanbul! I like that.''
* '''Ezio''': ''Istanbul? Yet another name for this city?''
* '''Yusuf''': ''Evet'' (Yes), ''it's a local favorite. Come, Mentor da Firenze. I will show you around.''
Ezio and Yusuf proceeded towards the city.
*'''Yusuf:''' ''Welcome to [[Galata District|Galata district]]. For centuries it has been a home to orphans from [[Wikipedia:Europe|Europa]] and [[Wikipedia:Asia|Asia]] alike.'' ''You won't find more diversity anywhere else in the city. And for that reason, [[Assassins]] make it their home.''
*'''Ezio:''' ''I would like to see where.''
*'''Yusuf:''' ''Kesinlikle.'' (Absolutely.) ''The Brotherhood is always eager to meet the man who put the [[House of Borgia|Borgias]] out of pasture.''
*'''Ezio:''' ''Oh. Does everyone in the city know I'm here already?''
*'''Yusuf:''' ''Well, your holy land tussle with the [[Templars]] did not go unnoticed.''
*'''Ezio:''' ''When I first set out, violence was so far from my mind. I sought wisdom. The contents of [[Altaïr's library]].''
[[File:ACR_Welcome_8.png|thumb|right|250px|A Byzantine arquebusier aiming at Ezio and Yusuf.]]
*'''Yusuf:''' ''Not realizing it has been sealed for three centuries?''
*'''Ezio:''' ''No, I assumed as much. But I never expected to find Templars guarding it.''
*'''Yusuf:''' ''Very troubling, no? Five years ago, Templar influence here was minimal. A small faction with dreams of restoring the Byzantine throne. But they're growing in number, day by day. And with Sultan [[Bayezid II|Bayezid]] on his way out, they may try something dramatic.''
*'''Ezio:''' ''Is there no heir to the Ottoman throne?''
*'''Yusuf:''' ''Not just one - two angry sons. It's a familiar pattern with these royals. When the Sultan coughs - ahem! - the Princes draw their swords.''
*'''Ezio:''' ''Between the Templars and the Ottomans, you must stay busy.''
*'''Yusuf:''' ''Ezio, I barely have time to polish my blade!''
As they walked into an alley, a Byzantine [[Arquebusiers|guard]] with a rifle fired in their direction. Yusuf eliminated the guard with a knife, but they were confronted by more guards.
*'''Yusuf:''' ''Inanilmaz.'' (Incredible.) ''A master at work!'' ''I must remember that.'' ''More Templars. Look sharp!''
[[File:ACR_Welcome_10.png|thumb|right|250px|Byzantine soldiers cornered by Ottoman soldiers.]]
Upon proceeding to kill the first wave, Ezio prepared for another attack, although Yusuf held him back.
*'''Yusuf:''' ''No, no. Watch.''
A group of [[Ottoman Empire|Ottoman guards]] formed and started to attack the incoming Byzantines.
*'''Ottoman Guard:''' ''Byzantium is dead, as are you!''
*'''Yusuf:''' ''The whole city wakens to welcome you, Ezio! First the regents, now the rats!'' ''Ottoman soldiers have a special loathing for these Byzantine thugs. That gives us some breathing room.''
*'''Ezio:''' ''How much?''
*'''Yusuf:''' ''Eh, just a little. They'll still kill you if you look at them wrong, but they will feel bad about it later.''
*'''Ezio:''' ''Touching.''
*'''Yusuf:''' ''It's not so bad really. For the first time in many decades, the Assassins have a strong presence here. It wasn't always that way. Under the Byzantine Emperor, the Assassins were hunted down and killed on the spot.'' ''We are almost there.''

==Outcome==
Ezio befriended the Constantinople Assassins Guild.

==Trivia ==

* To achieve full [[synchronization]], Ezio must not wander far from Yusuf.
*Just before leaving with Yusuf, the player may interact with and speak to two NPCs on the docks; a civilian to the left of the ship, and an Ottoman guard to the right.
*While Yusuf introduced himself as 'da Istanbul', which according to Ezio's custom indicated that he was born in Istanbul, Yusuf was actually born in Bursa. Also, even if Yusuf had been born in Istanbul, the correct Italian would have been "d'Istanbul".
