Eagle Vision

Ezio, my friend! How may I be of service? This article is in desperate need of a revamp. Please improve it in any way necessary in order for it to achieve a higher standard of quality in accordance with our Manual of Style.

Eagle Vision is an ability that Ezio, Altaïr, Desmond Miles and presumably others of Assassin lineage possess. The user is able to instinctively sense how people and objects relate to him, which manifests as a colored glowin

Assassin's Creed

To use Eagle Vision, the player must press the Head button. Depending on control settings, the Head button will most likely be either File:PlayStationTriangle.svg (for Playstation 3), Y (for Xbox 360), or E (for PC default layout). In addition, the Synchronization bar must be at its current maximum capacity, otherwise pressing the Head button will instead result in a first-person view with no extra benefits.

Desmond viewing Lucy as an ally

At the end of Assassin's Creed, Desmond gains the ability to use Eagle Vision outside of the Animus. He sees Lucy glowing blue and Warren Vidic glowing red. Using Eagle Vision will also reveal Cryptic Messages Subject 16 wrote with his own blood in the Abstergo Laboratory.

Ezio, like Altair, was able to use Eagle Vision. It is used to detect and scan Glyphs from Desmond's perspective.

Ezio finding one of the glyphs

In a glyph narration from Subject 16, he says, "Behold the Assassins, the children of two worlds! Why do we have these gifts? Because it's in our blood!" This implies that because Altaïr, Ezio, Desmond and Subject 16 all have Eagle Vision, their bloodline is connected to Those Who Came Before.

Trivia

• An Assassin guard in the Kingdom can be seen as glowing red, but reacts as all other guards do. It is theorized that this guard is the traitor that aided Masun.
• At Playstation Home, you can use Eagle Vision in the Assassin's creed chamber. It is a minigame to find weird signs. When you complete the minigame, you can go to a secret room. The secret room is the hideout of Assassin's creed II.
