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 glowing.
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.
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.
Eagle Vision
- Red = Enemies
- Blue = Allies
- White = Sources of information/hiding places
- Gold = Targets
Assassin's Creed II
Ezio, like Altair, was able to use Eagle Vision. His father and uncle also possessed this ability, and it is thought that La Volpe also possessed an advanced form of this skill. It is used to detect and scan Glyphs from Desmond's perspective.
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. This theory can be supported by the fact that both Subject 16's blood and light patterns in The Vault glow when seeing with Eagle vision.
Trivia
- An Assassin guard in the Kingdom can be seen as glowing red, but reacts as all other guards do. This guard was originally supposed to have aided Masun in betraying the Brotherhood, but the sequence where Altaïr assassinates him was cut from the final game, leaving him as a minor easter-egg.
- A mini-game in the Assassin's Creed room of Playstation Home features an Eagle Vision puzzle, which when completed opens up the Hideout.
- In the original Assassin's Creed game, movement was prohibited while using Eagle Vision, and the player was required to be at maximum synchronization.
