Staves of Eden

The Staff.

The Staff of Eden was a Piece of Eden, shaped like a staff. The Staff of Eden was used most notably by various pharaohs, popes and Russian tsars.

Status

After leaving the Vault in Assassins Creed: Brotherhood, Ezio tries to remove the Staff from the center of the room. Upon doing so the floor opens up and the Staff descends, though Ezio was able to retrieve the Apple from it before the floor closed up over the staff. It was somehow recovered at some point in the future, confirmed by the fact it had come into the possession of the Russian Tsars during the 1800's. It was lost (and presumed destroyed) after the Tunguska Explosion, and no one person has since appeared to have taken possession of it.

Trivia

• It is possible to kill Rodrigo Borgia without triggering the cinematic cutscene while in the Sistine Chapel if you poison him. After this, you can wield the Staff of Eden; though unfortunately, you cannot use any of its powers. ^{[citation needed]}
• In Assassin's Creed: The Fall, the shape of the Staff differs from the Assassin's Creed II rendition of the Staff, for unknown reasons.
