Through bonus content from the Black, White and Master Assassin's editions, or possibly the ''[[Bonfire of the Vanities (DLC)|Bonfire of the Vanities]]'' [[DLC]], the Frari can then be explored within. To redeem this map there is a code that comes with the Black, White and Master Assassin's Editions. Each code is unique and can only be used once. This, and both other Templar Secret Locations, are bundled with the Pre-Order of the Steam and Impulse Software editions of the game.


To access the Frari, walk to the side of the Frari where the Tower is facing the wall. There will be a door with the Knights Templar cross on it, similar to the [[L'Arsenale di Venezia|L' Arsenale di Venezia]]. The Frari proved to be quite a challenge for Ezio. When he finally entered the Templar treasure Chamber, he left with the Templar Treasure through a secret door, leaving the Frari behind. The Frari is a [[Templar Lairs|Templar Lair]], and is inhabited by [[Archers]], Militia, Elites, Leaders, [[Agiles]] and [[Brutes]].
