The Halls of Nero

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

Description

After his encounter with the Followers of Romulus, Ezio Auditore entered Nero's Golden Palace which was situated beneath the Baths of Trajan.

Dialogue

Ezio activated four water sprouts, filling an old bath. A pillar for one of the sprouts collapsed, breaking the floor of the bath. Diving through the opening, Ezio landed in a basin and navigated the halls, reaching a large room, where he witnessed a Follower of Romulus kill a fellow cult member. While climbing a wall, Ezio caused some old rubble to fall down, creating a shortcut.

• Ezio: Now I can get back up here.

While jumping across the room to reach the balcony, Ezio caused the top of a fragile pillar to fall off, creating a new shortcut.

• Ezio: That could help if I fall.

While jumping onto a fragile pillar, Ezio caused it to collapse, creating another shortcut.

• Ezio: Perfect! A route up if I fall.

Ezio reached the balcony, behind which was a shrine. Ezio then took a scroll, before climbing a ladder to the surface.

Outcome

Ezio retrieved a scroll of Romulus and escaped the underground palace to rendezvous with Niccolò Machiavelli.

Trivia

• The key taken with the scroll was one of six that were required to unlock the armor and dagger of Brutus.
• Three Borgia flags were scattered across the Lair.
