'''Bonfire of the Vanities''' is the latter of two [[Assassin's Creed II downloadable content|downloadable content packs]] developed by [[Ubisoft]], and was released on February 18, 2010. The [[DLC]] is available with all three Templar locations, which were previously exclusive to certain special editions.


== Plot ==
The [[DLC]] included access to the [[Oltrarno District]] of [[Florence]], as well as three [[Secret Locations|Templar Lairs]], which were previously exclusive to special editions of the game.
The DLC will open up the southern quarter of [[Florence]] previously sealed off and revolves around the monk [[Girolamo Savonarola|Savonarola]], who is controlling the city in absence of the [[Medici]]. Using the [[Ezio's Apple|Piece of Eden]]; which he stole from a critically wounded [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze|Ezio Auditore]] after his confrontation with [[Checco Orsi]], Savonarola was able to control the city’s nine most influential citizens, and use them for his own means.


The DLC offers several new additions to the game, including ten new missions, a new maneuver (the Sprint Jump) which allows Ezio to jump twice as far as normal, but only in the southern part of the city of Florence, and access to the three [[Secret Locations|Templar Lairs]] (if the Bonfire of the Vanities and Secret Locations DLC is purchased for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, which were previously Limited Edition exclusives); the [[Palazzo Medici]], [[Santa Maria dei Frari]] and [[Arsenal Shipyard]].
==Plot==
{{Main|Bonfire of the Vanities}}
The Bonfire of the Vanities took place soon after the events of the [[Battle of Forlì]]. Florence had fallen under the rule of the monk [[Girolamo Savonarola]], who controlled the city with nine lieutenants, and with the [[Ezio's Apple of Eden|Apple of Eden]] he had stolen from a critically wounded [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze|Ezio Auditore]].

After traveling to Florence to retrieve the Apple, Ezio met with [[Niccolò Machiavelli]] in the city's Oltrarno District. There, Niccolò tasked him with assassinating Savonarola's lieutenants, who terrorized the people and kept them docile.
The first mission is when Ezio meets [[Niccolò Machiavelli]] in the [[Oltrarno District]] in Florence. Over the next 9 missions, Ezio needs to assassinate Savonarola's lieutenants to free the people. In some of the missions you need to assassinate the target without being seen, and the best way to do this is by using the hidden gun to attract the targets attention. Once Ezio had killed all of his lieutenants, Ezio needed to take the Apple from Savonarola. Using a throwing knife, Ezio was able to knock the Apple from the monk's hands, and retrieve it from one of [[Rodrigo Borgia]]'s guards. In the last mission of the sequence, Ezio sees Savonarola being burned at the stake. Ezio tells the citizens that no-one deserves to die in such a painful way, and he assassinates him before he could suffer. He then gives the people of Florence a speech about how they should follow their own path.

There, they drove him out, and though Savonarola attempted to subdue them with the Apple, Ezio knocked the [[Pieces of Eden|Piece of Eden]] out of his hand with a [[Throwing knives|throwing knife]].

Plot

Main article: Bonfire of the Vanities

The Bonfire of the Vanities took place soon after the events of the Battle of Forlì. Florence had fallen under the rule of the monk Girolamo Savonarola, who controlled the city with nine lieutenants, and with the Apple of Eden he had stolen from a critically wounded Ezio Auditore.

After traveling to Florence to retrieve the Apple, Ezio met with Niccolò Machiavelli in the city's Oltrarno District. There, Niccolò tasked him with assassinating Savonarola's lieutenants, who terrorized the people and kept them docile.

After the nine lieutenants had fallen, the people of Florence rose up, and charged Savonarola's residence at the Palazzo Pitti. There, they drove him out, and though Savonarola attempted to subdue them with the Apple, Ezio knocked the Piece of Eden out of his hand with a throwing knife. The civilians then brought the monk to be burned at the stake in the Piazza della Signoria.

As the Assassins followed the mob to the plaza, Ezio concluded that no one deserved to die in such pain, and killed Savonarola with his Hidden Blade before he could suffer. He then gave the people of Florence a speech about how they should follow their own path, and not that of anyone else.
