Ezio Auditore's robes

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.

Template:Assassify Ezio Auditore has worn four sets of robes in the Next-Gen console games he is featured in, in each game Ezio has had a customizable set of robes (customizable through adding armor, changing dye colors and equipping different capes) and a special set of robes that come with a set of unbreakable armor, which cannot be customized.

Assassin's Creed II

In Assassin's Creed II, Ezio inherited his robes that look nearly exactly like his father Giovanni's Assassin Robes (which the only difference was size and Ezio's Assassin emblem on his red sash) which are short in comparison to those Altaïr wore in Assassin's Creed, with the lower part only coming part of the way down Ezio's thigh at the front, and to behind his knees at the back.

Ezio Auditore da Firenze's robes in Assassin's Creed II

The standard Assassin robes used in Assassin's Creed II are worn over the top of Ezio's normal clothes (Florentine Noble Attire), and so the boots, trousers and sleeves are the same. The upper body features a hood with the center shaped to resemble an eagle's head, a feature kept from Assassin's Creed, the hood is part of the main robes, with a shirt like look to the torso (with an open collar), and the lower part layered, with the upper layers being shorter, and the front of the lower part being shorter than the back. The robes also feature Ezio's wide belt that is used to store throwing knives and show the Assassin's insignia, the robes also have a cape over and around Ezio's left arm and shoulder.

Customization

The standard Assassin's robes can be dyed with any color a tailor can offer you, (colors do not affect the gameplay, so it's all personal preference). Armour can also be added to make your robes more personal again, and any combination of Leather, Helmschmied, Metal and Missaglias armor pieces may be used to create your own personal look, although of these four, the Missaglias is the most highly recommended, because of it's statistics. However, if the number of health blocks don't bother you, any combination may be used. Finally you may choose to wear one of four capes with the Assassin's Robes; the Plain Cape, the Medici Cape, the Venetian Cape and the Auditore Cape, although the primary color of the Medici, Venetian, and Auditore capes can't be changed, it is easy to choose a cape to match a dye, although capes can change gameplay dramatically, depending on your location and playing style.

Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood

After the siege of Monteriggioni, Ezio is given a new set of robes by Machiavelli that are a cross between the Ezio's robes in Assassin's Creed II and Altaïr's Robes in Assassin's Creed.

Ezio's new robes are a cross between Giovanni and Altaïr's robes, as they have a long, layered lower section, although they maintain the shirt like torso of Giovanni's robes, with the open collar only on the outside, and what appears to be a closed collar on the inside. The hood shape from the previous two games has been kept, as has the wide belt displaying the Assassin's insignia and carrying Ezio's throwing knives, and the robes still feature the cape over Ezio's left arm and shoulder.

Customization

Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood improves the customization system from Assassin's Creed II, with the added ability to dye the cape separately to the main body of the robe, allowing for many color combinations. Most of the dye colors have returned from the previous game, although some of them have been tweaked, renamed or both. Again, the armor system allows for further customization, with four new armor types to replace those of Assassin's Creed II: the Roman, Rondelle, Plate and Seusenhofer armor parts, which can all be used in any combination. The Auditore, Medici and Venetian capes also return, with the addition of the Borgia Cape. The plain cape is the only one which can be dyed.

Special Robes

Trivia

• In Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood there is a hidden method in which Ezio's armor can be removed. If he has the Armor of Brutus worn and the player returns to sequence 2 and goes to the blacksmith and equip Roman Spaulders, then exit replay, Ezio has only the Roman Spaulders, however the player goes back to the hide-out on Tiber Island the player can re-equip any armor set.
• When playing the third Cristina Memory Ezio is wearing the Medici cape, despite not possessing the cape at the time.
• On the front cover art for Assassin's Creed 2, Ezio is shown wearing a variation of the Metal Pauldrons/Spaulders. On the back cover art, he isn't wearing any pauldrons/spaulders other than the one that came with Giovanni's robe.
• After the da vinci war machine missions are unlocked, if the player replays sequence 2 memory 3, the player can access the missions if they choose not to interact with machiavelli. This has been proven but does require patience since the game will desynchronize at certain points. By travelling to Tiber Island, the player must then change outfits and the game will bug enough to cause the player to reappear at different areas of the map, such as the colloseum. In order to reach the missions the player is advised to travel via horse, but to remain at slow speeds, in order to avoid desynchronization.
