			*After finishing Sequence 7, Derinkuyu has no Byzantine guards, shops are empty, the depot is destroyed, a strange wooden beam hangs in midair near the center of the map, and citizens can be heard choking on smoke. However, after the main story is completed, Derinkuyu returns to how it was before Ezio started the explosions.

	By the same year, Tarik had [[Ottoman Empire\|Ottoman]] spies active within Derinkuyu, who were meant to observe the Templar activity in the city, and report it back to the Janissaries.
