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 Secret Locations are memories which must be completed through a combination of free-running and puzzle solving. Many of these locations were scattered throughout Italy and Consiantinople, and were explored by the Assassin Ezio Auditore da Firenze during the Renaissance. In gameplay terms, most of these were optional, with the exception of the Assassin's Tomb inside the Santa Maria Novella, the Lair of Romulus inside the Terme di Traiano, and the four locations traversed in order to collect the Seals of Altaïr.[1][2][3]
Renaissance Italy
Assassin Tombs
The Assassin Tombs were seven landmarks around Italy, each containing the tomb of an Assassin, each of whom were said to have protected the freedom of mankind when it was most threatened. Each tomb also contained (with the exception of Domenico Auditore's tomb in the Auditore Crypt) an Assassin seal, which were used to obtain the Armor of Altaïr in the Sanctuary.
* Santa Maria Novella - contained the tomb of Darius [1]
* Il Duomo - contained the tomb of Iltani [1]
* Auditore Family Crypt - contained the tomb of Domenico Auditore [1]
* Torre Grossa - contained the tomb of Wei Yu [1]
* Rocca di Ravaldino - contained the tomb of Qulan Gal [1]
* Basilica di San Marco - contained the tomb of Amunet [1]
* Santa Maria della Visitazione - contained the tomb of Leonius [1]
Templar Lairs
The Templar Lairs (with the exception of the Palazzo Medici) hide treasure that presumably belonged to and funded the activities of the Templar Order. All of these can be accessed through a wooden door, marked with a large red cross.[1]
*
Palazzo Medici in Florence[1]
* Santa Maria Dei Frari in Venice[1]
* Arsenal Shipyard in Venice[1]
Rome
Secret locations were also found in Rome, in the form of Lairs of Romulus. There were six of them, spread throughout the vast city. Additionally, there are two Templar Lairs, which were also found in Rome[2]
Completing all of the Lairs of the Followers of Romulus would allow Ezio to obtain two of the treasures they guarded, the Armor of Brutus and the Dagger of Brutus. Through traversing these locations, Ezio also obtained some special documents that gave background details on the cult.[2]

Trivia
* In the tomb hidden in Santa Maria della Visitazione, if the player activates the lever, stand on the edge of the floor and stare into the water, he/she will see a large figure move through the water after a minute, swimming past and staring at the player with what appears to be a yellow eye. After the cutscene, the lever will reset, allowing the player to activate it again. And if the player the same spot and wait, a giant tentacle will shoot out of the water, though Ezio dodges before it manages to hit him.
* Solomon's Temple in Assassin's Creed is considered to be similar to a secret location; or more precisely, a Templar Lair, due to its linear mission and underground setting.
* In the tomb in the Basilica di San Marco, the banners clearly show the poison symbol, despite the Seal bearing the snake symbol.
