Secret locations were locations which required a combination of freerunning and puzzle solving to be navigated, and which were visited by several notable individual Assassins throughout the ages.
Renaissance Italy
Assassin Tombs
The Assassin Tombs were landmarks around Italy, six of which housed the tomb of an Assassin who was said to have "protected the freedom of mankind when it was most threatened". These shrines also contained seals which were collectively used to obtain the Armor of Altaïr within the sanctuary beneath the Villa Auditore in Monteriggioni.
In addition to these, the Auditore Family Crypt in Monteriggioni was also considered an Assassin Tomb.
- Florence
- Santa Maria Novella - contained the tomb of Darius.[1]
- Santa Maria del Fiore - contained the tomb of Iltani.[2]
- Torre Grossa in San Gimignano, Tuscany - contained the tomb of Wei Yu.[3]
- Rocca di Ravaldino in Forlì, Romagna - contained the tomb of Qulan Gal.[4]
- Venice
- Basilica di San Marco - contained the shrine of Amunet.[5]
- Santa Maria della Visitazione - contained the tomb of Leonius.[6]
- Auditore Family Crypt in Monteriggioni - contained the tomb of Domenico Auditore and his son.[7]
Templar Lairs
The Templar Lairs hid treasure that presumably belonged to and funded the activities of the Templar Order, with the exception of the Palazzo Medici, which was the abode of the Assassin-allied Medici family being attacked by soldiers of the Templar-allied Pazzi family in 1479. All of these could be accessed through a wooden door marked with a large red cross.
- Palazzo Medici in Florence[8]
- Santa Maria Dei Frari in Venice[9]
- Arsenal Shipyard in Venice[10]
Rome
Secret locations were also found in Rome, in the form of Lairs of Romulus. There were six of them in total, located throughout the city at various landmarks. Additionally, there were also two Templar Lairs that could be accessed in Rome.
Completing all of the Lairs of the Followers of Romulus would allow Ezio to obtain two of the treasures they guarded, namely the armor and dagger of Brutus. Through traversing these locations, Ezio also obtained documents that gave background details on the cult, as well as the Assassin Marcus Junius Brutus, a Roman senator during the time of Gaius Julius Caesar.
Lairs of Romulus
- Terme di Traiano[11]
- Catacombe di Roma[12]
- Colosseo[13]
- Cloaca Maxima[14]
- Palazzo Laterano[15]
- Basilica di San Pietro[16]
Templar Lairs
Constantinople
In Constantinople, there were severalsecret locations that could be explored.
Masyaf Keys
As the main focus for Ezio Auditore's search for knowledge, he sought out the locations of the keys to the library of Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad. A map to each location could be found in rare books, which were hidden within the city of Constantinople.
Others
As well as locations that hid the Keys, two other secret locations resided in the city.
- Hagia Sophia - required Ishak Pasha's memoir pages to be found.[23]
- Vlad the Impaler's Prison - unlocked in sequence 3, available from a tome in Sofia Sartor's book shop. The entrance is located on the Western wall, South of the Romani HQ.[24]
Golden Age of Piracy
Islands
Others
- Temple of Tulum
Seven Years' War
Forts
Colonial America
Peg Leg trinkets
Collecting trinkets for a man nicknamed "Peg Leg" allowed Ratonhnhaké:ton to explore secret locations in the search of William Kidd's hidden treasure. These locations were unlocked after giving the trinkets to Peg Leg, after which the Assassin could access these locations by interacting with Robert Faulkner.
Others
Trivia
- Ezio could encounter a large figure in Santa Maria della Visitazione.
- In Amunet's tomb at the Basilica di San Marco, the banners clearly showed the poison seal, despite her Assassin seal bearing the symbol of a snake. This can be explained by the fact that the snake she used was a venomous one.
- Alexandre Amancio explained that the Secret Locations' design came about as at the time they were unable to allow players to enter such elaborate locations seamlessly.[31]
