The five artifacts

In 2012, there were five artifacts that could be found by Desmond Miles within Monteriggioni. These items were notable for being seen during Ezio Auditore da Firenze's life, and were all owned by members of the Auditore family.

After retrieving each of the artifacts, Desmond would store them on a set of shelves within the Sanctuary, in which he and his fellow Assassins were hiding, and they could be seen situated to the left of his laptop.[1]

Artifact locations[edit | edit source]

Maria's Feather Chest[edit | edit source]

One of the artifacts was the chest in which Maria Auditore da Firenze kept the feathers collected for her, in memory of her youngest son.[1]

Upon exiting the Sanctuary, Desmond could find the chest by turning around and freerunning up a wall towards a round window. After this, there was a lift nearby that would send him to the top of the roof, with the feather chest being located to the left of the landing spot, inside a cannonball crater.[1]

Ezio's Belt[edit | edit source]

The second artifact was the belt worn by the Master Assassin Ezio Auditore, and could be located at the very front of the city, opposite of the Sanctuary, where the brothel would stand, if you're facing the front gate its in a puddle to the right, on the elevated part.[1]

Medici Cape[edit | edit source]

The cape that Lorenzo de' Medici granted Ezio Auditore after he saved his life, by killing the Pazzi conspirators, could also be collected as an artifact by Desmond.[1]

It could be found in plain sight, located on the altar inside of the church. The church itself was easy to spot from most rooftops, as it was recognizable by its cross and steeple.[1]

Claudia's Record Book[edit | edit source]

The book which Claudia Auditore da Firenze used to chronicle the records of Monteriggioni's wealth was available to be collected.[1]

When Desmond exited the Sanctuary, he could obtain the book by turning around and re-entering Mario's study. The book was to the right side of the doorway, along the wall.[1]

Mario's Sword[edit | edit source]

The sword that Mario Auditore used as his personal blade could be obtained by Desmond.[1]

Upon exiting the Sanctuary, Desmond could find the blade by going to the front of the villa. From there, he would need to head down the stairs towards the training ring and jump over the ledges directly in front of him. After this, he would carry onwards until he reached a street with trashcans to his left and a white car to his right. Following this, Desmond would then head down the alley that the car was in to the right, making his way towards a tree. The sword would be sticking out of a stone directly next to the tree, to which he could then pull the artifact from the ground.[1]
