X Marks the Spot was a virtual representation of one of Ezio Auditore da Firenze's genetic memories, relived by Desmond Miles in 2012 through the Animus 2.0.[1]
Description[edit | edit source]
After collecting all of the Codex pages in Italy and having them decoded by Leonardo da Vinci, Ezio met with his uncle Mario Auditore and the other Assassins at the Villa Auditore to find the vault.
Memory Animus Feedback System[edit | edit source]
- Put the Codex pages in their proper place in the wall
Dialogue[edit | edit source]
Ezio, Mario, Niccolò Machiavelli, Teodora, Antonio de Magianis, Bartolomeo d'Alviano and Paola reunited at the Villa's study in front of the Codex Wall.
- Mario: Ezio!
- Ezio: It is time, uncle. Let us finish what you and my father started all those years ago...
- Mario: Indeed. Perhaps now we can finally make sense of this prophecy – and put a stop to whatever it is the Spaniard is plotting.
- Ezio: We should start by locating the Vault. The Codex pages will lead us to it. Let's take a look.
Ezio stared at the wall and used his Eagle Vision to place the pages in the correct order, assembling a world map made of curious red markings. He then placed the Apple of Eden on the pedestal in front of the wall, causing the artifact to activate and project several golden light beems, which pointed to five locations of the globe. Ezio used his special gift again to examine the locations pointed in the invisible drawings.
- Ezio: It... It is a map of the entire world... But... there are lands shown here that do not exist...
- Machiavelli: Apparently they do exist. I imagine they've yet to be discovered. Or rediscovered...
- Ezio: How is this possible?
- Machiavelli: Perhaps the Vault will hold the answer.
- Paola: Do you see where it is then?
Ezio slowly approached the map and noticed that two of the beems converged right in the middle of the Italian Peninsula.
- Ezio: No! It can't be! The Vault... It looks like the Vault is in Roma. Then the Spaniard... This is why he became Pope!
- Mario: Now I understand! It's not the Vault alone he's gained access to – but the staff as well!
The Assassins gathered in a circle.
- Teodora: What staff?
- Mario: The Codex always spoke of two keys... two Pieces of Eden needed to open the Vault. One is the Apple...
- Ezio: And the other is the staff... The Papal Staff is the second Piece of Eden.
- Mario: For years... No, decades... We have sought these answers.
- Paola: And now, at last, we have them...
- Antonio: But so too could the Spaniard... And if he does... if he finds a way into the Vault... Its contents will make the Apple seem a trifling thing.
- Ezio: I must go to Roma and find the Vault. What of the rest of you?
- Bartolomeo: We'll do what we do best, cause some trouble in the city, giving you the freedom to conduct your search.
- Mario: Just let me know when you are ready, nipote (nephew).
The group was dismissed.
Outcome[edit | edit source]
The Assassins discovered the location of the Vatican Vault, prompting Ezio to go to Rome in order to assassinate Rodrigo Borgia.
Trivia[edit | edit source]
- The "undiscovered lands" that Ezio and Machiavelli discussed were the Americas, which had unknowingly been rediscovered in 1492 through Christoffa Corombo's voyage, whom Ezio had met years earlier.

Notes[edit | edit source]
- ↑ According to Ezio Auditore da Firenze's database entry, "In Bocca al Lupo", the memory in which Ezio goes to assassinate Rodrigo Borgia, takes place on 28 December 1499. Given this memory's proximity in time to the following one, and that the latter is placed at the end of December, this one must take place in the same month.
