The Hookblade

The Hookblade is a memory in Assassin's Creed: Revelations.

Description

After Ezio Auditore upgrades his arsenal, he returns to the Assassins headquarters. Yusuf Tazim notices Ezio's second hidden blade and introduces him a modified version of the blade which the Assassins called as a Hookblade.

Equipped with the new blade, Yusuf displays the use of this blade to Ezio.

Dialogue

• Yusuf: Praise the heavens! We feared we had lost our Mentor to the vices of the big city!
• Ezio: I am content with my own vices, grazie (thank you).
• Yusuf: So, what's on your mind, Ezio?
• Ezio: Tell me more about the Templars. You call them Byzantines, yet the Byzantine Empire was overthrown sixty years ago.
• Yusuf: These men are remnants of a line loyal to the cause of the last Emperor, Constantine XI. Who leads them now, however, I cannot say.
• Ezio: Capisco. (I see.) I suppose it is up to me to find out.

Yusuf notices Ezio's second blade.

• Yusuf: Ezio, where is your hookblade?
• Ezio: My hookblade?
• Yusuf: You've never seen one? I grew up using these.

One the Assassin nearby hands Yusuf a hookblade. Ezio arms himself with the new blade.

• Ezio: Hmm, show me how it works.
• Yusuf: Follow my lead!

Yusuf demonstrates the use of a hookblade and Ezio follows him performing every maneuver displayed. After sometime they return to the Galata tower where Yusuf displays a new move.

• Yusuf: Watch and learn, Ezio. We call this a hook-and-run.
  Sprint at your opponent, and just as you reach him, use the hookblade to slip by.

Outcome

Ezio Auditore gains a replacement for his broken blade.
