Hi, welcome to Assassin's Creed Wiki! Thanks for your edit to the [[:Maria]] page.

Please leave a message on [[User talk:Hells Angel|my talk page]] if I can help with anything! -- [[User:Hells Angel|Hells Angel]] ([[User_talk:Hells Angel|Talk]]) 02:26, 21 May 2009

Hey. You '''can't''' correct spelling in a file link, that breaks them. Check the Piece of Eden page and see if you can find what you did wrong. -- [[User:D. Cello|D. Cello]] 21:55, February 12, 2010 (UTC)
:The POE page has been completely rewritten, so you wouldn't find it by now. But i is completelly different from ï. They are two different characters. If there's a link to a file called altairpicture.jpg and you change the link to altaïrpicture.jpg, he ''won't'' find the file, '''cause it isn't the right name.''' Got it? -- [[User:D. Cello|D. Cello]] 20:09, February 13, 2010 (UTC)
And sign your posts with 4 tildes. -- [[User:D. Cello|D. Cello]] 20:10, February 13, 2010 (UTC)

Don't worry, I'm not angry. And the edit summary indicated that change of name file under your name, that's why you was contacted. Just be careful with those file names, you have no idea how much categorization and file problems we had with small typos x.x -- [[User:D. Cello|D. Cello]] 15:22, February 14, 2010 (UTC)

:Al, I'm giving you rollback rights. You can find more info [[Assassin's Creed Wiki:Rollback|here]]. Make good use of them. -- [[User:D. Cello|D. Cello]] 03:55, March 6, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks, I'll do my best to do so. -- [[User:Altaïr|Altaïr]] March 6, 2010 (UTC)

Hey, Thanks for reverting that edit to my user page. ;D btw, the guy is banned from wiki XD -- [[User:D. Cello|D. Cello]] 15:53, March 13, 2010 (UTC)

Glad to be of help. He also vandalized my page. Luckily I got an e-mail too about your page being changed by an unknown user, so I checked and reverted it immediately. Well it's in these occasions that the rollback comes in handy. So thanks for that. -- [[User:Altaïr|Altaïr]] 16:57, March 13, 2010 (UTC)

Al, when you up a image make sure to change its name to something that makes sense and describe it, like "altair killing templar.jpg" instead of "avasdbasasbjassak.jpg". It makes the listing of files and organization easier. ;D - [[User:D. Cello|D. Cello]] 21:29, May 9, 2010 (UTC)

Alright, I'll rename them next time I upload them... If I don't forget... My memory aint the best lol -- [[User:Altaïr|Altaïr]] 00:43, May 10, 2010 (UTC)
 
So, Al. How are you liking being a sysop? -- [[User:D. Cello|D. Cello]] 04:48, May 16, 2010 (UTC)

*Lol at this moment I don't feel like I have made a big enough mark yet, to call myself a sysop. - [[Altaïr|Altaïr]] 11:37, May 16, 2010 (UTC)

== Adminship ==

Hi there,

Seeing as we have a shortage of active admins here, I was wondering if you would '''Endorse''' me and another user for admin/crat ship in order to get this wiki rolling again. Thanks, [[User:MacMed|MacMed]] 02:36, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

== Altair / Ezio ==

this is Ezio Aditore da Firenze how are things in the third crusade

Sucks... Maria is giving me a hard time cause she's on her period again!!!!

== OT: Dragonball ==

So you like Gohan, eh? I'm more of a Goku fan, but I practically like any Saiyan and main villain. The reason I like Ezio better is because of his cape and added weapons. As a person, I like Ezio still because he doesn't seem to have as much arrogance as Altair did in the beginning of the first game. I'm actually playing the first game now, and I still have to assassinate Jubair Al-Hakim. {{SUBST:User:SaiyanZ/sig2}} 01:35, February 22, 2010 (UTC)

I was more of a Goku fan in the beginning, but when Gohan turned Super Saiyan two I was sold on him. And I started to really like him when he became a teenager, though not when he was acting goofy like in the Saiyaman saga. Well in case of Ezio and Altaïr, I really don't dig the cape, seriously! I almost hate it! I just think it ruins the outfit. As for personality. I agree, Altaïr was arrogant, but he learned great wisdom and hummility by becoming demoted. Ezio in all these years barely changes until he learns the truth. - [[User:Altaïr|Altaïr]] January 22, 2010 (UTC)

== Paranoid, Hippy parents ==

It still sounds subjective, from Desmond's point of view. It is not mentioned in game, and strategy guides are not canonical. They are written by an outside source. [[User:AgentValentine|AgentValentine]] 14:14, February 22, 2010 (UTC)

I asked D.Cello considered the strategy guide to be canon. He said yes when we were talking about Maria's profile in it. He said they were approved by Ubisoft and considered canon.[[User:Altaïr|Altaïr]]

I disagree, but if DC says so, fine. But it needs to be rephrased, because it is still objective. Try "tired of his parents traditionalist Assassin views." Just because a 16 year old kid thinks his parents are paranoid hippies doesn't mean they are. [[User:AgentValentine|AgentValentine]] 14:22, February 22, 2010 (UTC)

Okay, I don't want to get into an arguement, so I'll change it into something that fits the profile, but still based on what the strategy guide states - [[User:Altaïr|Altaïr]]

That sounds better. :) If you don't mind, I'd like to fix the sentence structure a little bit. [[User:AgentValentine|AgentValentine]] 14:46, February 22, 2010 (UTC)

Sure... Be my guest. [[User:Altaïr|Altaïr]]

==Proposed attribution policy==
Hello there {{PAGENAME}}, I recently took the time to create a Watercooler forum post detailing my proposed attribution policy, which I hope the wiki will be willing to adopt by this time next week. If you could be so kind as to look over the policy and cast your vote (or comment on any changes) you can do so by following this link; [[Forum:Sourcing articles]]. Also, would you kindly pass on this post too as many users as possible, so that the vote might represent the true number of contributors to the wiki. Thank you. '''''[[User:Jasca Ducato]]''''' [[User talk:Jasca Ducato|Council Chamber]] [[Special:Contributions/Jasca_Ducato|Assassination record]] 15:34, February 22, 2010 (UTC)

== Couple of questions ==

Ok, so I beat the first Assassin's Creed and I was wondering if you can clear some stuff up for me:

1) How do I assassinate Robert de Sable at Arsuf in the same manner as it is shown in his picture on this article?

2) How do we know Altair became the Grand Master of the Assassins (if it is cleared up in Assassin's Creed II, try to explain without spoilers)?

3) Is there anything to do after the credits beside revisiting the Animus and looking at the symbols?

{{SUBST:User:SaiyanZ/sig2}} 22:20, February 25, 2010 (UTC)

1) I'm not sure where the problem is. You mean you want to stab him? Doesn't that happen automatically when you win the fight?

2) Well it is revealed, but I'm not even sure if that was in bloodlines or ACII, but there can be no doubt about it.

3) No there's nothing else to do, I think you can enter another room, with a different computer, where you might read more concerning the pieces of eden and their location. Other than that there's nothing left to do I think [[user:Altaïr|Altaïr]] February 25, 2010 (UTC))

:*In the picture it shows Altair stabbing him in a much different fashion then when you stab other assassination targets in the back. Do you have any idea on how to do this? {{SUBST:User:SaiyanZ/sig2}} 02:07, February 26, 2010 (UTC)

Myeah I'm sorry but I don't think I can help you with that. Maybe it depends of where you stand or I think it's possible because he is only fighting with his hidden blade. I'm not sure if that is possible, though I am sure you can fight with the hidden blade in the second one. Cause if you fight only with your sword, then it automatically switches like to a video where he gets stabbed with the hidden blade anyway, so maybe that doesn't happen when you just use the hidden blade, though I can't remember if that is possible. From what I remember if you tried it, when an enemy saw you they would always block your arms and prevent you from stabbing him.[[user:Altaïr|Altaïr]] February 26, 2010 (UTC))
:Hi, I'm the author of that awesome kill. XD It was performed doing a counter-attack ''with'' the hidden blade. My friend took the screen. Pretty cool, huh?? ;D And sign your posts. -- [[User:D. Cello|D. Cello]] 02:14, February 26, 2010 (UTC)
Ok thank you D. Cello. My signature gets all f**ked up if I sign anywhere else besides the Dragon Ball wiki. {{SUBST:User:SaiyanZ/sig2}} 02:40, February 26, 2010 (UTC)

== To help with ==

Hey Cedric since you'rre the main person to correct what I write in the Maria Thorpe page, do you think it's a good idea for me to leave it alone? [[User:PassiveNeoluna|PassiveNeoluna]] 00:35, March 8, 2010 (UTC)

I don't think so. I mean, if I say so myself, we make a good team. You're a very dedicated writer here on this Wikia and you're very good. I'm from time to time just correcting spelling mistakes, but my grammar isn't fantastic, which you are far better in. So that's something I would surely like to have you on board with for. -- [[User:Altaïr|Altaïr]] March 8, 2010 (UTC)

Okay then I'll keep doing whatever I'm doing. I try to be accurate with content, though I'm mainly a grammar editor. By the way, do you know which is the proper tense used for Wikia? Past or present? [[User:PassiveNeoluna|PassiveNeoluna]] 01:19, March 8, 2010 (UTC)

Past imo. I mean we're talking about historical figures or fictional figures from the past. However I'm not sure if we should do the same for the present, which is actually the future. (2012) When we write about Desmond and such, should we write in present? Let's leave it past for now I think. -- [[User:Altaïr|Altaïr]] March 8, 2010 (UTC)

Okay thanks for clarifying. [[User:PassiveNeoluna|PassiveNeoluna]] 01:32, March 8, 2010 (UTC)

2012 is the present. All rest is past. -- [[User:D. Cello|D. Cello]] 23:13, March 10, 2010 (UTC)

So an article like Desmond's, should it be written in present tense? Cause after all we are telling a story that already happened in the games. So it's like it already happened. It depends on the context I guess. If you're talking about the content of the games I would keep it in past tense, but to talk about his personality and such, then we could place it in present tense, just to make it clear that 2012 is the present, as you said. -- [[User:Altaïr|Altaïr]] March 11, 2010 (UTC)

Al, I've got an idea. Talk to [[User:Master_Sima_Yi|Master Sima]] and ask if you can work together on a wiki policy about the proper tense for the wiki, similar to the sourcing policy Jasca proposed a few weeks ago. I remember he corrected a lot of those grammar things moths back, maybe he's up to help it. Say I gave you green light to do it, with no deadline. Just get to it if and when you can and make one, alright? -- [[User:D. Cello|D. Cello]] 00:47, March 11, 2010 (UTC)

Okay, thank you. I left him a message about it on his 'talk' page. -- [[User:Altaïr|Altaïr]] 2:14 March 11, 2010 (UTC)

It's odd when I talk, I happen to bring up an editing issue involving you, your fiance and D Cello *sigh*. I'll help with re-revising the pages if a proper policy takes place. [[User:PassiveNeoluna|PassiveNeoluna]] 06:05, March 11, 2010 (UTC)

:If you want to help with the policy and Al and Sima are okay with it, be my guest. =] -- [[User:D. Cello|D. Cello]] 18:25, March 11, 2010 (UTC)

== Past or Present Tense ==

Ah, you're Belgian. Do you speak Dutch then? Or just French? 'Cause I'm Dutch and I guess it'd be a lot easier to speak Dutch when communicating then. :P

And yes, I totally agree with you. I have been trying to 'update' pages to past format, though it's quite some work if you have to do it alone (though lately I haven't been that active here because of other things). I'd love to help you with putting the pages in the past tense. If there is something else I can help you with, just ask. -- [[User:Master Sima Yi|Master Sima Yi]] 07:52, March 11, 2010 (UTC)

I'm Belgian, from the Flemish side. So yes, I speak Dutch. But I think we should continue in English lol. Otherwise it wouldn't really be fair to other members lol. But thanks for you input. If I see any pages that are still written in present tense then I'll try to update it myself. -- [[User:Altaïr|Altaïr]] 13:25, March 11, 2010 (UTC)

Well, actually talking in English isn't fair to us either, actually. 'Cause now we have to talk in a foreign language, which is hardER than speaking in our original language :P. Though I get what you mean. -- [[User:Master Sima Yi|Master Sima Yi]] 14:04, March 11, 2010 (UTC)

Other than language standards, is there a definite agreement on the policy? [[User:PassiveNeoluna|PassiveNeoluna]] 04:25, March 12, 2010 (UTC)

No, actually, there is *no* policy whatsoever. x.x -- [[User:D. Cello|D. Cello]] 04:51, March 12, 2010 (UTC)

Doesn't mean we can't create one. Only I'm pretty inexperienced with this. It seems Master Sima Yi seems to be quite occupied to make one as the other he created... I don't know. But maybe I could make this policy if I base it on the one he did create. Where could I find it? -- [[User:Altaïr|Altaïr]] 12:20, March 13, 2010 (UTC)

There's no hurry to do the policy. Just think about and when you guys think it's good, post it. Since it's a policy, it will become wiki guidelines, so it's kind of important. Must be well written and formed too. -- [[User:D. Cello|D. Cello]] 15:40, March 13, 2010 (UTC)

==Istruttorium==
Hey, Al. I'm scaling you up to Istruttore, if okay with you. We gonna need another admin soon, and who knows, you might be it. -- [[User:D. Cello|D. Cello]] 04:24, April 1, 2010 (UTC)
*Yeah that's fine with me... If it just isn't an april fool's joke lol. -- [[User:Altaïr|Altaïr]] 20:49, April 1, 2010 (UTC)

Damn, I totally forgot about April 1st x.x

See, Al? I told you it wasn't April's Fools prank XD Since you're very active, maybe you wanna give a hand at the [[The Blood of a Templar|Blood of a Templar]] project? And man, the wiki's getting pretty inactive x.x Lot of main members are going into wikibreak. -- [[User:D. Cello|D. Cello]] 16:32, April 7, 2010 (UTC)
*Okay, I'll take a look at it. -- [[User:Altaïr|Altaïr]] 18:52, April 7, 2010 (UTC)

===Istruttori Guild===
Welcome to the Istruttori. You now have the honor to use a Istruttore Badge on your profile, just insert <nowiki>{{ist}}</nowiki> on top of the page. Information about your duties and a list of fellow companions of the team can be acessed at [[Assassin's Creed Wiki:Istruttori|the Istruttori project page]]. As a Istruttore, you also have acess to the rollback function, which allows you to revert vandalisms or bad-faith edits with one click, on a quickier and pratical way. Safety and peace. -- [[User:D. Cello|D. Cello]] 18:52, April 1, 2010 (UTC)
*It would be a real pity to remove that badge, D. Cello... Just sayin' with being april the 1st lol. Anyway thx for the promotion. I'll see to it that I can make myself useful for the Istruttore. -- [[User:Altaïr|Altaïr]] 21:12, April 1, 2010 (UTC)

No, no. I already added you to the istruttori listings and staff panel. I'm sure wouldn't go through all that trouble just to
change it tomorrow... or would I? ._.
 Anyway, you can add <nowiki>{{UserIst}}</nowiki> to the infoboxes if you want, too. -- [[User:D. Cello|D. Cello]] 19:19, April 1, 2010 (UTC)

Hey, Al. Think you can meet me at the IRC Channel in about 10 minutes? -- [[User:D. Cello|D. Cello]] 14:34, April 12, 2010 (UTC)
*I'm there -- [[Altaïr]] 17:58, April 12, 2010 (UTC)
Hey. I changed the settings and now the IRC bips when someone lefts me a message, so no more 30 minutes delay between messages. =P I am already implemeting things, when you're avaiable to talk log in and I'll fill you in. -- [[User:D. Cello|D. Cello]] 17:51, April 13, 2010 (UTC)

== How you Relate to the AC Characters ==

If find it quite surprising how you bear many similarites with the AC2 character Ezio Auditore da Firenze. And from a 30-year old, I didn't know you had so much time for gaming, despite the fact that adults have to deal with alot of work nowadays. Reason? [[user:FPS Headhunter|FPS Headhunter]] LASER GUNS BEW BEW!!!! :D 20:35, April 2, 2010 (UTC)
*Simple I don't work... I just enjoy life as it is... There is another reason, but that one I'd like to keep private [[Altaïr]] 22:40, April 2, 2010 (UTC)

AC3

Where is it going to be set and when is it coming out?[[User:DORANBROS123|DORANBROS123]] 18:16, April 13, 2010 (UTC)
*There are no actual facts where it is set and when, but there's a lot of speculation. You can read more about it in the [[Assassin's Creed III]] article. [[Altaïr]] 20:32, April 13, 2010 (UTC)

== My DeviantArt Link ==

Here it is Cedric, [http://passiveneoluna.deviantart.com/] and congrats on the promotion :) --[[User:PassiveNeoluna|PassiveNeoluna]] 04:40, April 14, 2010 (UTC)
*Ah so you know about that. Not sure I deserve it, but I am glad I can give an extra hand to the wiki.:) --[[User:Altaïr|Altaïr]] 06:55, April 14, 2010 (UTC)

== Vandalism ==

Cedric a disrespectful user vandalised my user page, could you roll it back to when I last edited it? [[User:PassiveNeoluna|PassiveNeoluna]] 00:32, April 20, 2010 (UTC)

Nevermind I fixed it myself, but the user should locked for awhile. [[User:PassiveNeoluna|PassiveNeoluna]] 00:37, April 20, 2010 (UTC)

*Well I fixed one earlier, who replaced a line with 'I DON'T CARE!' on your page. I don't know what else had been done. Unfortunately unregistered users can't be banned that easily from the wikia --[[User:Altaïr|Altaïr]] 02:40, April 20, 2010 (UTC)
Okay and thanks for fixing my page when you did. [[User:PassiveNeoluna|PassiveNeoluna]] 00:53, April 20, 2010 (UTC)
:Actually they can, and I did it. He shouldn't be a problem anymore, Neoluna. Al, do you need help with banning and blocking users? Call me if you have any doubts. ;D -- [[User:D. Cello|D. Cello]] 01:08, April 20, 2010 (UTC)
*Yeah some education how to ban unregistered users would be welcome in case there's more vandalism. I've already dealt with it a lot, but I've never been able to ban anyone, cause most of them commiting vandalism are unregistered users. --[[User:Altaïr|Altaïr]] 03:17, April 20, 2010 (UTC)
:Sure. 
Under the "Contributions" bar in a user page, you can find the following:
<pre>From the Assassin's Creed Wiki
For "USERorIPhere" (Talk | block | block log | logs | Deleted user contributions)</pre>
Clicking the block button, you are taked to a page with the user's name/IP, the duration you want to block (or ban) them, the reason why and other options. Even if someone isn't registered, you can do exactly the same for the same effect. -- [[User:D. Cello|D. Cello]] 01:25, April 20, 2010 (UTC)
*Okay thx, and how long do you usually ban someone for vandalism? Is it permanently, depending if they are registered or not? -- [[User:Altaïr|Altaïr]] 03:31, April 20, 2010 (UTC)
:I don't follow a policy for it. Usually when it's an offensive or extensive vand, or when there's a removal of content, I block for a year. Only very minor things like title changes to non offensive words are blocked with 3 days or a week by me. But Silver has a different choice of lenght, I usually only enter the action when heavy action is needed. So, yeah, choose how long you think it's worth. Vandals don't add anything to us anyway. -- [[User:D. Cello|D. Cello]] 04:59, April 20, 2010 (UTC)
Al, remember: every time you revert a vandalism, you '''have to block''' the vandal. -- [[User:D. Cello|D. Cello]] 01:41, April 25, 2010 (UTC)

== Thank you ==

Thanks for correcting my mistakes and um if you do have time, could you check on my corrections in the [[Auditore Villa]] page, I tried to revamp it since it changed status. [[User:PassiveNeoluna|PassiveNeoluna]] 21:23, April 25, 2010 (UTC)
*I checked it and the revamp was very good. I only found one spelling error. Except for that I didn't see any mistakes. Good job! - [[User:Altaïr|Altaïr]] 23:45, April 25, 2010 (UTC)
Okay so should I leave a message for D.Cello to reconsider the status change? [[User:PassiveNeoluna|PassiveNeoluna]] 21:55, April 25, 2010 (UTC)
*Yeah I would ask it first. Imo it can be changed, however I don't think I have the final word in this. - [[User:Altaïr|Altaïr]] 00:05, April 26, 2010 (UTC)
I'll do so, excluding the Istruttori votes, do I ask for the approval of a bureaucrat if I think an article needs to change status all the time? --[[User:PassiveNeoluna|PassiveNeoluna]] 22:17, April 25, 2010 (UTC)
*Well D.Cello is the only Bureaucrat. So it is safe to ask him first yes. Btw if you have the time. Could you take a look at this article. It's still in the work, but if you could check the grammar on it, I would appreciate it: [[Rise and Fall of Altaïr]] - [[User:Altaïr|Altaïr]] 00:21, April 26, 2010 (UTC)
*Thanks for the edit of the Article. Looks much better! - [[User:Altaïr|Altaïr]] 01:47, April 26, 2010 (UTC)
No prob, drop a note in my talk page if I can help with anything else okay? [[User:PassiveNeoluna|PassiveNeoluna]] 23:50, April 25, 2010 (UTC)

== The Timeline ==

From what I could tell, there are some run-on sentences and I think I have to revise some content, if I change it too much be sure correct it. [[User:PassiveNeoluna|PassiveNeoluna]] 23:15, April 25, 2010 (UTC)
*Thanks for the edit of the Article. Looks much better! - [[User:Altaïr|Altaïr]] 01:47, April 26, 2010 (UTC)
No prob, drop a note in my talk page if I can help with anything else okay? [[User:PassiveNeoluna|PassiveNeoluna]] 23:50, April 25, 2010 (UTC)

Freerunning

2010-05-15T08:31:38Z

94.226.46.93: free-running is a natural talent and the age of 40 isn't that old, you would have to say that hee has to have a great physicial condition.

{{WP-REAL}}
'''Free Running''' or '''freerunning''' is a form of acrobatics in which participants, known as free runners, use the city and urban landscape to perform movements through its structures. It is one of the core gameplay mechanics of the ''Assassin's Creed'' series. It derived from the French '''[[wikipedia:parkour|parkour]]''', '''l'art du déplacement''' (English: ''the art of moving'') but is now considered as a separate discipline: Parkour emphasizes efficiency, whilst free running embodies complete freedom of movement which allows the inclusion of many acrobatic manoeuvres (often for aesthetics and challenges). In this way, the movements Altaïr and Ezio perform can rather be considered as Parkour while referred as Free running in the game and by the developers. Characters in the game also use many movements of the Parkour discipline such as Passe-muraille, Balancé, Saut de bras, Planche... etc.

==Known practitioners==
[[File:654.jpg|thumb|400px|Freerun chasing between Ezio and an Agile in [[San Gimignano]].]]
*[[Altaïr]]
*[[Malik]] (before the amputation of his arm)
*[[Kadar]]
*[[Giovanni Auditore]]
*[[Ezio Auditore]]
*[[Federico Auditore]]
*[[Antonio]]
*Probably most of the [[Assassins]]
*[[Rosa]]
*[[Thieves]] (including [[Pickpocketing#Pickpockets|Pickpockets]])
*[[Agile]]s
*[[Borgia Messenger]]s
*[[Desmond Miles]] (obtaining Ezio's skill through the [[bleeding effect]] of the [[Animus]])
*[[Adam and Eve]]

==Movements==
===''Assassin's Creed''===
Altaïr can climb up any wall if its surface is not too flat, having anything he can grab to (windows, cracks, ledges...). In addition, he can use many of the parkour movements:

====Balancé====
'''Balancé''' (''Swing'') is a movement where you swing on a bar and let go to grab another object or to drop to the ground.

====Lâché====
'''Lâché''' (''Drop'') is the act of dropping from a hanging position or a bar.

====Passe-muraille====
'''Passe-muraille''' (''Wallpass'') is the climbing of a tall wall by kicking its surface once to propel upward.

====Planche====
'''Planche''' (''Muscle-up'' or ''Climb-up'') is the movement of climbing an obstacle from a hanging position into a position where your upper body is above the obstacle, supported by the arms.

====Roulade====
'''Roulade''' (''Roll'') is a forward roll where the hands, arms and diagonal of the back contact the ground, often called breakfall. Used primarily to transfer the momentum/energy from jumps and to minimize impact, preventing a painful landing.

====Saut de bras====
'''Saut de bras''' (''Arm jump'') is to land on the side of an obstacle in a hanging position, the hands gripping the top edge, holding the body, ready to perform a muscle up.

====Saut de fond====
'''Saut de fond''' is a jump from a high height usually followed by a roll.

====Saut de détente====
'''Saut de détente''' (''Gap jump'', ''running jump'') is similar to a long jump.

====Saut de précision====
'''Saut de précision''' (''Precision jump'') is a static or moving jump from one object to a precise spot on another object of a small surface such as low walls. It is usually done with the feet close together but nobody in the games does it in this way.
==='''Vaulting'''===
'''Vaulting '''is the use of hands to traverse over an object, this is a little-advertised skill in Assassin's creed I and is unconfirmed whether it is in Assassin's Creed II. Shown here:

In addition to all the movements of ''Assassin's Creed'', the second episode has some new ones.

====Fast Climb====
By holding the High Profile trigger, Ezio can climb up the building much faster than his ancestor Altaïr. However, the scheme of the ledges he will grab must be regular.

====Climb Leap====
This movement is first shown by Rosa and allows Ezio to grab an out-of-reach handhold by performing a vertical jump while climbing. Being wounded, she makes a fellow thief teach Ezio how to do the movement:
{{quote|Begin in a hanging position, then jump to the ledge above you. As you reach it grab it with your hand and pull yourself up!|Rosa}}

==Trivia==
*There is a bug in ''Assassin's Creed'' and ''Assassin's Creed II'' when sometimes even citizens or regular guards perform some freerunning movements that only Assassins can do. This bug mostly occurs when the NPC appears on a building or higher platform.
*In-game hints in ''Assassin's Creed II'', also suggest looking for white sheets, as stacked boxes that serve as a starting point for Free Running will always have those hanging over them.

The Truth

94.226.46.93: /* Trivia */

{{quote|Hello. This is...they call me Subject 16. Listen, I don't have much time - there's something I have to show you. We have been lied to this whole time; everything we know, everything we've been brought up to believe - it's wrong.|Subject 16}}

The Truth is a sidequest in ''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'' that can be unlocked by uncovering [[glyphs]] throughout the world, and solving the puzzles that accompany each glyph. There are 20 in all, and successfully unlocking each one will give a bit more insight into the Origins of the Templars, the Assassins, and the [[Piece of Eden]].

In the video, a naked [[Adam and Eve]] are seen running from something. They move through an open area which may be The Garden of Eden. The scenery is a mixture between flora, a shiny blue material that resembles glass, and a white surface which sounds like stone. The garden is decorated in a very futuristic style which is a strong contrast against the biblical setting. Moving through a circular automatic door, Adam and Eve use free-running (similar to that used by the [[Assassins]]) to climb a large, futuristic looking building. While they are climbing the building, a shadow of a huge humanoid and apparently floating being can be seen holding a [[Piece of Eden]] to control several human slaves. These workers appear to be in an environment similar to that of a metal refinery, with one slave in the foreground clearly using a hammer to shape a metal object. The brief appearance of the shadow is visually similar to [[Minerva]], sharing the flowing clothes and glowing emblem on the headwear. [[Adam and Eve]] continue climbing until they reach the roof of the building. The camera zooms outwards, revealing many other futuristic buildings surrounding them. Further in the background, a mountain is clearly visible, while there is little other elevation in land elsewhere. The terrain is lush, and large forest boundaries are visible. Eve can then be seen to be holding a [[Piece of Eden]]. Eve then says "Adam, I have it!", Adam acknowledges Eve, and she then yells: "Look out!" as an unknown, unseen person appears behind them. The memory suddenly ends, and binary code flashes up. The numbers read: "EDEN"

These glyphs are based upon the markings left behind in [[Assassin's Creed]], which were left behind by [[Subject 16]], and written in his blood. Many of these glyphs can be recognized as the [[Cryptic Messages]] from the previous game, and can only be seen with [[Eagle Vision]] .

*It is very interesting to note and speculate how Subject 16 managed to get a hold of this video. It is also very probable (considering 16's strong knowledge on the subject) that he knew a lot more than what the video depicted, considering at one Glyph he says "There, do you see what's going on...? *Sigh* not yet, but you will". Meaning that he might have known a lot about the events that appeared in the video, and beyond.

*[[Altaïr]] himself saw the video at one point in his life. As in one of the codex pages, he says the video is the most troubling thing his eyes have ever witnessed. It is clear that he had watched the video, possibly shown to him by the Apple of Eden, describing all the things that happen in the video. Speaking of screaming that still echoes in his mind, flame and fire, and tall metal towers that are overlooked by a mountain. Oddly enough, he does not actually mention or reference to [[Adam and Eve]] in any way while speaking of it. This may be due to the fact, as explained in other Codex Pages, that Ältair is stubbornly refusing to believe in the Old Testament and it's explanations, including the creational theory, so he denies these two people being the Adam and Eve of the Bible. This may also explain how [[Subject 16]] knows about the video, if 16 is another descendant of [[Altaïr]], then it's possible Abstergo ripped the content of this video through the Animus, as the same glitches show up through the video when Desmond was in the Animus. Subject 16 likely saw the same as Altaïr, and succeeded to obtain the data Abstergo ripped from his memory and hid it for others to find, nevertheless, 16's knowledge on the matter seems to be larger on scale then what the video showed.

*It looks like the mountain in the background is Mount Kilimanjaro, as the mountain is visually identical to the mountain. The image appears to be taken from the one in [http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Mt._Kilimanjaro_12.2006.JPG Wikimedia], except that it's horizontally flipped. This also makes sense because Mount Kilimanjaro is in Africa, and the origins of humans are said to be in Africa, more specifically mid-Africa, which is also roughly the location of Kilimanjaro. Also, one of the dots on the codex map in [[AC2]] is in Africa, at roughly the area of Mount Kilimanjaro. Further adding to this theory is that Lucy herself said that Vidic tagged events in the Middle East and Ancient Africa.

*It's possible that [[Subject 16]] is a descendant of [[Adam and Eve]] and that [[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad|Altair]] ( along with [[Ezio]] and [[Desmond]] since they are both descendants of Altair) could be related to [[Adam and Eve]].

*It is possible that the video is taken from a time period predating the war that Minerva referred to, when humans were enslaved by '[[Those Who Came Before]]'. It is likely then that Adam and Eve escaping Eden (the haven in which 'gods' and humans lived) sparked the human rebellion which led to the cataclysmic event also mentioned by Minerva

*At the end of the video, a block of binary code can be seen briefly. The code is "01000101 01000100 01000101 01001110" which translates as EDEN.
*The viewing angle of the camera might be Subject 16. These events are supposed to have happened in the past, so it is possible that if Subject 16 is really desecended from Adam and Eve, he could use the Animus to go back in time and live these events. It also says that this is Session 12 in the Animus at the start of the video.
*Adam is voiced by Nolan North, the same voice actor who voices Desmond. Likely he was voiced by the same person to show the link between Desmond and Adam, as he seems to be his descendent.
