==Exception==
 
Whilst reliving memories in the Abstergo 1.28 Animus, the memory corridor was displayed during one particular confrontation, even though Altaïr did not kill his intended target. This occured when [[Altaïr]] attempted to strike down [[Robert de Sable]], only to discover that it was a decoy, [[Maria Ibn-La'Ahad|Maria Thorpe]]. After the conversation, he let her go, at which [[Desmond]] resumed reliving memories, with Maria still alive despite the fatal strike. The same happened when Ezio spared Micheletto Corella and Rodrigo Borgia.

The Animus 2.0's memory corridor.

The Memory Corridor, also known as the White Room in the Animus 2.0, appeared to be an empty virtual space, which had several uses.

Usage

File:Goodbye-william-assassins-creed.png
Altaïr killing William of Montferrat in the memory corridor.

The corridor was mainly used as a loading screen between memories, where the user had the possibility to run around as the memory started up.[1][2]

Additionally, in it, a dying assassination target shared their last words with the Assassin who had killed them; most likely to place an emphasis on their final moments.[1][2]

It was also used as a location for a tutorial for Desmond Miles' first use of the Animus,[1] and later, as an interface for Rebecca Crane's Animus Virtual Training Program.[3]

Appearance

The corridor had different backgrounds according to the version of Animus being used. The Abstergo Industries Animus 1.28 had an icy-blue background with fog and various computer code,[1] while the Animus 2.0's background was light gray with white lines.[2]

Trivia

File:AnimusAM.jpg
Confrontation with Maria inside the corridor.
  • No matter what position or method the assassination target is killed in, or how far away the Assassin is from the target, upon entering the corridor, the Assassin will always be right next to the target, who is always lying down on their back.
  • The corridor is also used in a "final" conversation with three people, despite the fact that they are left alive afterwards. These include Maria Thorpe, Rodrigo Borgia and Micheletto Corella.
  • In Assassin's Creed, during a sufficiently long loading period, it is possible for the player to run far enough that glitches and other symbols surrounding the player are left behind.
  • In Assassin's Creed, glitches appear frequently in the corridor, prompting the player to change the angle of the scene, and allow the target to walk around as they speak, appearing uninjured.
  • In Assassin's Creed II, Dante Moro and Silvio Barbarigo appear in the memory corridor together, even if they are killed separately.
  • In Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, when the Templar agents are killed and enter the Memory Corridor, they do not speak. Ezio Auditore simply says "Requiescat in pace," before closing their eyes and walking away.
Cesare Borgia being thrown off a wall in the memory corridor.
  • Another variation of the corridor is present in the Cristina Memories in Assassins Creed: Brotherhood, where a ghost-like Ezio chases another ghost-like figure – Cristina Vespucci – through a dark, red-hued corridor. The Cristina memories are labeled as repressed memories, which may be why the corridor takes on a different appearance.
  • The third variation of the corridor in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood is orange - which occurs after the death of Cesare Borgia, when Ezio throws him off the castle wall.
  • In Assassin's Creed and Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, Altaïr and Ezio can use their sword, short blade, throwing knives and hidden blade in the memory corridor. However, in Assassin's Creed II, Ezio can use only his fists.
