Decoding Da Vinci was a virtual representation of one of Ezio Auditore's genetic memories, relived by Desmond Miles in 2012 through the Animus 2.01.

Description[edit | edit source]

Ezio Auditore returned to Leonardo's workshop after obtaining the final painting.

Dialogue[edit | edit source]

Ezio entered Leonardo's workshop, where Salaì was examining one of the recovered paintings.

  • Ezio: Have you found anything?
  • Salaì: Nothing is there, no pages, nothing.
  • Ezio: That cannot be. Something must be special about them. Think.
  • Salaì: I am done thinking. These paintings are a blank slate.
  • Ezio: Salaì, doesn't Leonardo conceal his research?
  • Salaì: He frequently writes backwards... Ezio, he also experimented with inks, including an ink that vanishes! But we can't see invisible ink... can we? Ezio, use your gift!
  • Ezio: You know about that too?
Ezio by Annunciation

Ezio spoke to Salaì as he sat by the fireplace.

  • Ezio: I am going to solve this.
  • Salaì: I hope so. I cannot take much more.
  • Salaì: Do you think they would hurt him? Leonardo is terrified of violence.
  • Ezio: Unfortunately, this world is a violent place.
  • Salaì: Don't look at me, I cannot see them.

Ezio began to search the paintings for clues.

  • Ezio: There are drawings on the paintings!
  • Salaì: We were right!

He continued to scan the remaining paintings for more clues.

  • Ezio: Found another!
    This one has been searched entirely.
    I see a drawing.
    Everything found.
    I found one.
    I found two drawings.
    There were two in this one as well.
    Got one!
Ezio with the pieces of the map
  • Salaì: You have finished with that one, I see.
  • Ezio: I've found all the images. They seem to fit together.
  • Salaì: Draw them already!
  • Ezio: Bring me paper and ink.

Ezio drew the images on sheets of paper.

  • Salaì: Is that a map? Show me the entrance.
  • Ezio: I must first position its pieces.
  • Salaì: Wait! What about the burned paintings?
  • Ezio: It is likely the missing parts will not be needed.
  • Salaì: Care to bet on that?
  • Ezio: No.

Ezio put together the recovered pieces of the map.

  • Ezio: Here! The entrance to the catacombs!
  • Salaì: Go. Bring him back to me.
  • Ezio: Hang on, old friend. I am coming.

Outcome[edit | edit source]

Ezio discovered the entrance to the catacombs and departed for them in search of his closest friend.

Trivia[edit | edit source]

  • The title of this memory, "Decoding Da Vinci", is most likely a reference to the famous novel by Dan Brown, The Da Vinci Code.
  • This memory is one of the few instances in the series where Eagle Vision is mentioned, albeit indirectly, by another character in the game.
