A datura bomb is an explosive that disperses toxic gas upon detonation, slowly poisoning any passersby who breathes the fumes within the blast radius.
History[edit | edit source]
In the early 1500s, the Master Assassin Piri Reis taught the Italian Assassins' Mentor Ezio Auditore how to craft and use datura bombs, as they could be made with any shell or gunpowder type combined with powdered samples from the datura genus of flower.[1] The Ottoman Assassins had found them to be highly effective in eliminating clusters of guards from their posts. However, due to its indiscriminate nature, civilian casualties were a very real possibility when they were present. The Byzantine Empire's heavily-armored Almogavars seemed particularly vulnerable to the toxins, though the same could not be said of their Ottoman counterpart, the Janissaries.[2]
Behind the scenes[edit | edit source]
The achievement "Mosh Pit" could be unlocked by poisoning ten or more guards with one datura bomb.
