Glyph 13 puzzle 2 - the clicking noise that you hear as the cursor approaches the number is far closer to the sound of a Geiger counter than sonar, which would fit in better with the association to Trinity and Oppenheimer. Have amended it as such. |

Glyphs were data entry points scattered around the virtual representation of Renaissance Italy rendered by the Animus.
Desmond Miles was able to locate several of them while reliving the memories of his ancestor, Ezio Auditore da Firenze. Each Glyph revealed historical details about the conflict between the Assassins and the Templars, humanity, and Pieces of Eden.
The Glyphs were created by Clay Kaczmarek, Desmond's predecessor in the Animus Project. Clay had discovered 'The Truth' during the prolonged Animus sessions, but he could not share this information during his captivity. Instead, he hacked the Animus and hid a video file in a number of encrypted data fragments, in form of Glyphs on certain structures.
In an effort to inform the next Animus subject of the hack, Clay left a number of cryptic images drawn in his own blood scattered across the Animus Project laboratory, as a clue to look for such symbols in the environments rendered by the Animus.[1]
Before Desmond Miles was placed in the Animus, Abstergo had cleaned away Clay's blood messages.[2]
These messages were impossible to see with the naked eye. However, through the Bleeding Effect, Desmond eventually gained the ability of Eagle Vision, which allowed him to perceive Clay's blood writing. Although he was able to see it, Desmond could not comprehend its meaning at the time of his captivity.[3]
During the escape from Abstergo facility, Lucy Stillman took the Animus memory core, unaware that it contained the data which Clay tampered with. When the core was transferred to the Animus 2.0, the Glyph data was transferred along with it.[1]
While reliving the memories of Ezio Auditore da Firenze, Desmond and his fellow Assassins discovered the existence of the Glyphs and guessed how they appeared in the Animus 2.0, eventually concluding the data was tampered with by Clay, and came with the Abstergo memory core.[1]
Desmond found numerous symbols scattered across various landmarks, which contained the encrypted file fragments. Clay placed a safeguard the files however, as each Glyph had to be scanned with Eagle Vision to access it, and the files were only compatible with the Animus itself.
Desmond solved the puzzles contained within each Glyph, allowing him to access a short clip of The Truth video. Once all the Glyphs were solved, these short clips combined to form a complete footage from one of Clay's classified session at Abstergo, depicting Adam and Eve running through Eden with a stolen Apple of Eden.
The puzzles revealed some of the activities of the Assassins and Templars and instances where Pieces of Eden had emerged across the human history.[1]
When Shaun Hastings analyzed the results of the Glyph puzzles, he discovered the puzzles also contained coordinates to additional certain locations within the Animus. These led Desmond to a series of Cluster puzzles, accessible through the Rifts in programming in the city of Rome.
These Rifts were also safeguarded, as they did not physically appear on the landmarks at all, unless seen with the Eagle Vision. Another notable difference was that Ezio had to physically enter a Rift, rather than just scan it.
After solving all ten of the Rift puzzles, a video message "The miracle is in the execution" appeared, though the Assassins figured it was not a video at all, but rather an encrypted file. Rebecca managed to make it accessible to Desmond. The file contained a course similar to the Animus Virtual Training Program. At the end, Desmond was presented with a digital image of Clay Kaczmarek, which spoke to him about Eve, the Sun, Eden and the darkness, before disappearing.[4]
Each Glyph was located on a historical landmark within the Animus. After approaching a landmark with a Glyph on it, the landmark's Database entry was marked with an eye icon.
Proximity to a Glyph was also noticeable by a shimmering sound effect, identical to the one heard near feathers and treasure chests, as well as the decipher fragments in The Lost Archive.
The puzzles were solved in numerical order, regardless of which Glyph they were accessed through. Whenever stuck on a puzzle, a help option appeared and Shaun Hastings offered a hint upon activating it.
