The Poison Blade

==

The Poison Blade is one of the upgrades invented by Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad for the Hidden Blade, essentially a hollow needle equipped with poison. Whoever Ezio injects with the poison will go berserk, swinging their weapon wildly and attacking all those in range before dying. Ezio can replenish this weapon by buying poison vials from Doctors.

This weapon is one of the best the player will get in the game; this is because Ezio can kill someone without attracting much attention to himself and instead making people look at the person going berserk. If the people looking at the person who is berserk are the targets, Ezio can assassinate them quickly and silently without them noticing a thing. Additionally, the player can make someone go berserk as a distraction to draw guards away from the target and assassinate him. This is especially helpful during Assassination Contract missions, as most of the time the targets have at least 1 Guard with them.

Poison vials cost 175 florins each and Ezio can carry up to five vials, but poison pouch upgrades bought from a local Tailor raise the amount of vials Ezio can carry at once (by up to 15).

In Assassin's Creed Renaissance, the blade doesn't cause guards to go berserk, but rather, kills them instantly, also, it is commonly used by Ezio during combat. ==

Ways to use the Poison Blade Efficiently:==

1. Silent Kill. Guards will never notice the poisoning process even if it is right in front them!
2. Attention. Distraction is important during the game in missions. If you can not find thiefs to lure the guards away or mercenaries to fight the guards or even cortisones to literally distact them, then the Poison Blade helps out alot. Poison a peasent or any one else in front of the guard(5-10 meters away). when the victim goes crazy and get the attentionof the guards you have two choices assassinate the guards(you won't be noticed if the victim is still alive) or head on to your objective.
3. Clean Kill. When doing a Assassination Contract missions a single target has a least one body guard. One way to easily finish the job is to poison the guard, he will later go crazy and "accidentally" hit the target with his weapon and kill the target instantly. Fast and funny.

1. Make a Scene. Poisoning a person is funny to watch. Especially when you poison a Brute, and throw money at his place. People then start running toward the insane guard and get kill in the process. Also a guard that is poisonedwill be killed withone hit unlike other guards.
2. More coming soon!
