The '''Secret Locations''' in ''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'' are [[wikipedia:Prince of Persia|Prince of Persia]]-like [[wikipedia:Platform game|platform]] levels which must be completed through [[Free Running|free running]] and some puzzle solving. These missions are optional. However, the first one must be done to discover a [[wikipedia:Pazzi#The Conspiracy|Templar conspiracy]] against the Medicis.

Each location has several stages and each one has a different platforming objective, from climbing high towers from the inside to timed free running trials meant to test a player's abilities. 6 secret locations are also [[Assassin Tombs]] containing [[seals]] necessary to unlock [[Altaïr's Armor]], which is the most powerful armor in the game and is necessary for [[Desmond]] to achieve full synchronization with Ezio. The first Assassin Tomb (the secret location mentioned in the first paragraph) does not count as a "secret" location, but does contain one of the 6 seals necessary to unlock [[Altaïr's Armor]]. In addition, the last [[Auditore Family Crypt|secret location]] in the secret locations tab of the DNA menu is also an Assassin Tomb, but does not hold one of the seals necessary to unlock [[Altaïr's Armor]].

== Trivia ==
*In the tomb hidden at Santa Maria Delle Visitazione, if you activate the lever, stand on the edge of the floor and stare into the water, you'll see a large figure in the water appearing after a minute, to swim across while staring at you with what appears to be a yellow eye. After the lever's time limit runs out, when you re-activate it and stand on the same spot and wait, a giant tentacle will shoot out of the water that Ezio dodges, before it manages to hit him.
