The '''Destruction of the Great Chain''' was an event during the [[Renaissance]] that occurred in the year 1511, of which the [[Assassins|Assassin]] [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]] destroyed the [[Great Chain]] across [[Constantinople]]'s [[Golden Horn]].


The '''destruction of the Great Chain''' was an event during the [[Renaissance]] that occurred in the year 1511 in which the [[Assassins|Assassin]], [[Ezio Auditore]], decimated the [[Great Chain]] extending across [[Constantinople]]'s [[Golden Horn]].
This allowed Ezio to depart from the city, and journey to the [[Byzantine Rite of the Templar Order|Byzantine Templars]]' headquarters of [[Derinkuyu]].


The Great Chain was an infamous defensive measure anchored to two large towers and strung across the mouth of the Golden Horn. It functioned as a way to prevent enemy vessels from sailing up the waterway and assaulting the poorly defended city ports.

In 1453, Sultan [[Wikipedia:Mehmed II|Mehmet II]] lugged his warships over the hills of [[Galata District|Galata]] and slid them on greased tracks into the Golden Horn, far upriver from the chain. Utilizing this strategy, the Sultan was able to circumvent the [[Byzantines|Byzantine]] fortifications.

Once the Assassin Ezio Auditore learned of [[Cappadocia]]'s utilization as the garrison for the remaining Byzantine [[Templars]], he headed for the primary waterway of the city, the Golden Horn. Arriving there, he was received by [[Yusuf Tazim]], the [[Master Assassin]] of the [[Turkish Assassins]].

Hearing of Ezio's departure, Yusuf informed Ezio of the Great Chain being raised due to the recent murder of the [[Janissaries|Janissary]] Captain, [[Tarik Barleti]]. Yusuf went on to say that the Janissaries had ordered a full blockade, vowing not to lift the chain until Ezio was apprehended.


Providing Ezio with a potent [[Bombs|bomb]] with fifty times the effect of an ordinary explosive, Ezio replied by telling Yusuf he understood how to utilize it. Before concluding their meeting, however, Ezio asked Yusuf to look after a close-friend and owner of a local [[Book Shops|book shop]], [[Sofia Sartor]].

Ezio quickly arrived at one of the Chain's ends, and placed the bomb handed to him by Yusuf there. With his [[Hidden Gun|pistol]], Ezio shot the bomb, which destroyed the tower holding the Chain in place, thus releasing the Chain into the water. With tower in ruins and the Chain released, Ezio utilized a [[Ziplines|zipline]] to get on board a warship. As he did, several of the Ottoman [[guards]] tried to detain him. Though before the Ottomans had the chance to apprehend Ezio, Yusuf and several of the Assassin [[apprentices]] arrived to stop them.

As the Assassins prevented the soldiers from capturing Ezio, Yusuf informed him of armed boats trying to stop his departure, and that he should deal with them. Arriving at the foot of the warship, Ezio found a mounted [[Greek Fire]] and used it to set the ships on fire, destroying them.


As the Assassins left the ship, Ezio made his way through the burning ships. After traversing through the remains of several ships, Ezio encountered several Ottomans trying to sate the fire, who then noticed Ezio.

Upon arriving at Cappadocia, Ezio made his way inside the city, meeting up with one of Tarik's [[Ottomans|Ottoman]] spies, [[Dilara]]. Following his meeting with Dilara, Ezio pursued [[Manuel Palaiologos]], the primary Templar figure in the city. During his hunt for Manuel, Ezio assassinated [[Shahkulu]], Manuel's personal guard. Ezio's pursuit of Manuel then culminated in a duel on Cappadocia's docks, with Ezio proving victorious, acquiring the fifth and final [[Masyaf Keys|Masyaf Key]] in the process.

"The Janissaries have raised the chain across the mouth of the Haliç (Golden Horn) and ordered a full blockade until you are caught."
―Yusuf Tazim to Ezio Auditore.[src]-[m]

The Destruction of the Great Chain was an event during the Renaissance that occurred in the year 1511, of which the Assassin Ezio Auditore da Firenze destroyed the Great Chain across Constantinople's Golden Horn.

This allowed Ezio to depart from the city, and journey to the Byzantine Templars' headquarters of Derinkuyu.

Destruction and escape[edit | edit source]

"Those ships are armed. They're waiting to stop your boat. You take care of them. We will clear the docks."
―Yusuf informing Ezio of the fleet obstructing the Golden Horn, 1511.[src]-[m]

Following his meeting with Yusuf, Ezio made his way to one of the towers that the Great Chain was anchored to. Surreptitiously maneuvering past the alert Janissaries, Ezio placed the bomb on one of the tower's windows. Triggering the explosive by shooting it with his Hidden Gun, Ezio cautiously observed as the tower gave way, pulling the Great Chain along with it.[1]

With the Great Chain sunk, Ezio scrambled across a zipline, reaching a ship stationed at the Golden Horn. Meanwhile, Yusuf and his Assassins aided Ezio by eliminating the guards on the docks.[1]

Once at the vessel, Ezio eliminated several guards and made his way to a Greek Fire spray nozzle situated on the bow of the ship. Utilizing the Greek Fire, Ezio destroyed the fleet and the riflemen obstructing his departure from the Golden Horn. With the entire waterway engulfed in flames, Ezio left the weapon, and carefully navigated across the ignited ships.[1]

After an arduous venture through the incinerated vessels on the waterway, Ezio ultimately arrived at his own ship. Greeted sardonically by fellow Assassin and captain of the ship, Piri Reis, Ezio apologized for the impediment. With their route to Cappadocia unobstructed, the vessel began navigating the waters of the Golden Horn.[1]

Aftermath[edit | edit source]

Subsequent to the Great Chain's destruction, the Ottoman navy was crippled from the destruction and incineration. Upon arriving at Derinkuyu, Ezio made his way inside the city, and met with one of Tarik Barleti's Ottoman spies, Dilara.

Another Assassin, Murat Bin Husn, who's also a Janissary.[2] Fearing for their lives, Murat and his family fled from the city.[3]
