The Golden Mask is an item that features in a mission in sequence 9 of Assassin's Creed II. The mask grants any civilian exclusive access to Marco Babarigo's carnevale party. In the final mission of sequence 9 of AC2, Ezio must pickpocket the mask off of Dante Moro (Marco's bodyaguard) in order to enter the party and assassinate Marco.  
The '''Golden Mask''' was an item that granted any [[civilian]] access to [[Marco Barbarigo]]'s 1486 [[Carnevale]] party as an honorary guest.


==How to Obtain==
During that year's Carnevale, [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]] had to [[Pickpocketing|pickpocket]] the mask from Marco's bodyguard, [[Dante Moro]], in order to enter the party and assassinate Marco.
Once Ezio completes the four Carnivale challenges, (in the challenge that he defeats the Templar Soldiers and [[Dante Moro]] in a rigged fight,) he was supposed to receive the Golden Mask as the reward, but [[Silvio Barbarigo]] bribed the Carnivale announcer to give the mask to Dante instead.


[[Ezio]], [[Antonio]] and [[Sister Teodora]] plan on how to take the mask back. Ezio suggests killing Dante, but Antonio says to steal the mask from him using Sister Teodora's girls to distract him as killing Dante will surely cancel the party altogether. Sister Teodora also warns that before he even thinks of forging a replica, each mask is numbered to prevent unauthorized access with copies.

This is given to Ezio on the first mission of sequence 9. It is given to Ezio as a spare from Leonardo Da Vinci, the same mission in which Leonardo gives Ezio his pistol augmentation for his blade. Once given the mask, Ezio cannot take it off for the rest of sequence 9. The purpose of the mask is that it turns Ezio incognito after the assassination of the late doge of Venice.
Although Sister Teodora cautioned Ezio that each mask was numbered, the guards at the entrance to the Doge's party do not make any effort to verify its authenticity, nor is any number visible on the mask.


The golden mask:

The golden mask grants any civilian special access to Marco Babarigo's canevale party. Marco is the new doge of Venice and is one of Ezio's assassination targets. Ezio therefore needs to obtain the golden mask. Ezio obtains the mask originally by completeing a series of four canrevale games, but in the end Ezio simply needs to pickpocket the mask from Dante Moro.
The Golden Mask is the second and last mask Ezio wears in ''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'', the first one being a plain one given to him by [[Leonardo da Vinci]] during the Carnevale.

Dante Moro displaying the mask

The Golden Mask was an item that granted any civilian access to Marco Barbarigo's 1486 Carnevale party as an honorary guest.

During that year's Carnevale, Ezio Auditore da Firenze had to pickpocket the mask from Marco's bodyguard, Dante Moro, in order to enter the party and assassinate Marco.

History[edit | edit source]

There were four Carnevale challenges and winning them all was rewarded with the golden mask. These challenges were a running race,[1] capture the flag,[2] charming ladies[3] and a fistfight.[4] When Ezio won the first three challenges and seemed to be winning the last one as well, Silvio Barbarigo bribed the Carnevale organizer to allow guards with knives to enter the fight. Ezio then defeated the guards and won the challenge. Barbarigo, however, bribed the organizer to award the mask to Dante Moro instead.[4]

Ezio, Antonio de Magianis and Teodora Contanto planned to take the mask back. Sister Teodora warned them that each mask was numbered to prevent unauthorized access with copies, therefore discounting the possibility of forging a replica. Ezio then suggested killing Dante, but Antonio told him to steal the mask from him instead using the courtesans to distract him, as killing Dante would surely cancel the party altogether.[5]

After successfully stealing the mask, Ezio wore it to enter Marco Barbarigo's party. There, Ezio hid from the Templar guards and Dante, while they searched for Ezio and the stolen mask. Under the cover of the fireworks, Ezio then assassinated Marco with his hidden gun.[5]

Behind the scenes[edit | edit source]

The mask is the type known as Bauta because it is a full mask that obscures the entire face.

Although Sister Teodora cautioned Ezio that each mask was numbered, the guards at the entrance to the Doge's party do not make any effort to verify its authenticity, nor is any number visible on the mask.

Several pedestrians around the Dorsoduro District of Venice can be seen wearing golden masks, but they do not drop it if killed or pickpocketed.

The Golden Mask is the second and last mask Ezio wears in Assassin's Creed II, the first one being a plain one given to him by Leonardo da Vinci during the Carnevale.

The golden mask does not affect notoriety.
