The Metal Cestus was a weapon that Ezio Auditore wore to improve the damage he could cause in fistfights. It consisted of a leather glove lined with metal plates.
Description
The Metal Cestus originated from the ancient Roman Empire, where gladiators used weapons similar to the Cestus in arena fights.[1]
After being purchased from any of the city Blacksmiths for 2,000 florins, the Cestus granted Ezio a slight advantage in Beat Up events, as well as any other instance that involved unarmed fighting.[1]
Climb Leap Glove
- "Now nothing will be out of my reach."
- ―Ezio getting the Climb Leap Glove from Leonardo da Vinci.[src]
A further upgrade to the Cestus called the Climb Leap Glove could be bought from Leonardo da Vinci upon Ezio's arrival in Rome.[2]
Aside from granting the same advantages to damage and speed, it also returned the Climb Leap ability previously taught to Ezio by Rosa, which he became unable to perform unassisted after being injured during the Fall of Monteriggioni.[2]
