The Staff of Eden was a Piece of Eden, shaped like a staff. The Staff of Eden was used most notably by various pharaohs,[1] Popes[1][2] and Russian tsars.[1][3]
Use
Designed to control men's minds and bodies, it has a cradle in the headpiece where an Apple of Eden can be placed, in order to enhance its mind control effects. This conjunction of two Pieces of Eden can also be used to open The Vatican Vault door. Its bottom end is sharpened, and can be wielded as a spear in combat. It also grants the possessor the ability to conceal his presence entirely, and the ability of levitation; though whether these are physical effects, or simply manipulations of the viewers' perceptions, remains unknown.[1]
When Nikolai Orelov approached the Staff in 1908, he heard several voices emenating from it, speaking things such as "Always the fighter", “Adam, I have it”, “Just like your father”, and “Eve.” [3]
Status
After leaving the Vault, Ezio Auditore tried to remove the Staff from the center of the room. Upon doing so, the floor opened up and the Staff descended despite Ezio's efforts to retrieve it.
It was somehow recovered at some point in the future, confirmed by the fact it had come into the possession of the Russian Tsars during the 1800s. It was lost (and presumed destroyed) after the Tunguska Explosion, and no person has since appeared to have taken possession of it.

Trivia
- It is possible to kill Rodrigo Borgia without triggering the cinematic cutscene while in the Sistine Chapel. After this, you can wield the Staff of Eden; though unfortunately, you cannot use any of its powers. [citation needed]
- In Assassin's Creed: The Fall, the shape of the Staff differs from the Assassin's Creed II rendition for unknown reasons.
