Ezio, my friend! How may I be of service? This article is in desperate need of a revamp. Please improve it in any way necessary in order for it to achieve a higher standard of quality in accordance with our Manual of Style. |
The Unlock the Animus Challenge was a competition that Ubisoft released in October for everyone to play on the internet, although only players from the United Kingdom can win the prize. It consists of five puzzles (strands) where the player must work out the problem and solve it.
NOTE: The following articles contain the answers to the Puzzles!
Strand 1
The first puzzle to be released was a video showing moments in the Assassin's Creed series. After the video ended, the player was told to make a list of the clips in order of their appearance. For example, the first scene is an arch in Rome, so the first answer is 'Arch'. The order in their appearance is as follows:
1. Arch
2.Arrow
3.Toll
4.Inferno
5.Shadow
6.Links
7.Fortress
8.Pray
9.Gallows
10. Peaks
11.Portcullis
12.Tempest
Strand 2
The next puzzle consisted of seemingly random symbols in rows, and the player must work out the five top- most symbols. This is infact the Templar cypher, and reads a phrase. The answer is:
1: The 'X' like symbol
2: The up- right pyramid with a dot in the centre
3: An up-right pyramid without a dot, with a smaller triangle underneath it.
4: The same as 3
5. The 'V' like symbol.
When done, the words read "Nulla e reale. Tutto e lecito." This is "Nothing is true. Everything is permitted." in Italian. At the end, Ezio says a rather eerie 'Requiescat in Pace,' and the screen reveals in red writing "Rest in Peace."
Strand 3
The third puzzle is a mix of two small puzzles.
The first is "artifact identification", which shows a Portuguese coin with the words 'In hoc signo vinces' on it. This means 'In this sign you will conquer,' which is a phrase used Constantine I, and it refers to thetemplar cross. The player must then enter the phrase into a cryptex, and when it opens the player must find the correct coordinates. They mostly consist of Roman landmarks, but the correct one is 'N4100518E2858795,' which are the coordinates for the Hagia Sofia in Istanbul. The second and last puzzle tells the player to align the circles in the correct pattern, and the answer is simply to arrange tham in the shape of the Hagia Sofia. The answer is to have the Largest Circle in the very centre, then have the Second Largest Circles on the top-left, top-right, bottom-left and bottom-right directions of the Circle. Finally, have the Smallest Circles in between the Second Smallest Circles. Once you get it correctly, they should snap back into shape and on the bottom-left of the screen, it will say "> Recognition 100%". Once this finishes, the Strand will be complete.
