The Forum of the Ox

This article is about the memory. You may be looking for the location.

The Forum of the Ox was a virtual representation of one of Ezio Auditore da Firenze's genetic memories, relived by Desmond Miles in 2012 through the Animus.

Description

After having recovered another one of Niccolò Polo's books, Ezio found a hidden entrance to the Forum of the Ox' interior. He entered it to investigate and found another key to Altaïr's library

Dialogue

Ezio entered the cave.

• Guard 1: What did you find? Another key?
• Guard 2: A door of some kind. Bricked up with hard stone.
• Guard 1: Ah, promising! The first key was found behind a similar door.
• Guard 2: Ti mou les? (Is that so?) And how did they open that door?
• Guard 1: They didn't. The earthquake did.
• Guard 2: Ypérocha. (Wonderful.) All we have are a few barrels of gunpowder.
• Guard 1: This should do. And if it does not, we get more.

Ezio shot a barrel of gunpowder, hoping for an explosion, but only managed to kill a guard.

• Ezio: Diavolo! (Damn!)
• Guard 1: The Assassin! Go! Go!

The Byzantines fleeing from Ezio

The guards set off in a boat and Ezio gave chase.

• Guard: You will not leave here alive!
  Show yourself!
  He's there!
  Dilé! (Coward!)
  Edó íne! (He is here!)
  Ton petichame! (We got him!)
  No, no. He is here somewhere.
  Assassin!
  He's behind us.
  Rixte tou! (Shoot him!)
  Steady!
  Assassin!
  Show yourself!
  Skotóste ton bástardo! (Kill that bastard!)
  Show yourself!
  We have gunpowder, we should use it!
  Stand back! Give me some room!
  Never underestimate this madman.
  Na pári! (Dammit!)

Ezio and the guards fell down a waterfall.

Outcome

Ezio retrieved another one of the Masyaf Keys.
