The View from Galata

The View from Galata is a memory in Assassin's Creed: Revelations.

Description

After learning how to use the Hookblade, Ezio Auditore and Yusuf Tazim race to the top of the Galata Tower.

Dialogue

• Yusuf: The standard Ottoman hookblade has two parts, you see... the hook and the blade. So you can use one or the other. An elegant design.
  How about a bigger challenge?
• Ezio: Va bene. (Okay.) Let's go.

Ezio and Yusuf make their way to the top using their hookblades.

• Yusuf: Having fun?
  That's right. Let the hookblade do the work.
  Iste boyle. (There you go.) Throw yourself into it.

As they reach the top of the tower.

• Yusuf: Welcome to Konstantiniyye, Ezio. The crossroads of the world. Many generations of men have ruled this city, but they have never subdued her. She always bounces back.
• Ezio: It seems a fine place to call home.
• Yusuf: It is. Race you to the bottom?

They perform a leap of faith from the tower.

• Ezio: I am impressed, Yusuf. My brothers in Roma would like this.
• Yusuf: Just credit where it is due.

A fellow Assassin approaches them.

• Assassin: Yusuf, cabuk buraya gel! (Yusuf, come quickly!)
• Yusuf: Eh?
• Assassin: An attack on two fronts! Galata and the Grand Bazaar.
• Yusuf: Every day, the same bad news.
  (To Ezio) How is your appetite for swordplay?
• Ezio: I do what I must.
• Yusuf: Good man.

Outcome

• Ezio masters the new hookblade. He also agrees to help Yusuf Tazim defend two Assassins hideout in the city.

Trivia

• To achieve full synchronization, Ezio must climb the tower within 60 seconds.
