Wanted poster

A wanted poster of Ezio by the Pazzi.

Wanted posters are featured in Assassin's Creed II, Assassin's Creed II: Discovery, and in Assassins Creed: Brotherhood. They appear as part of the notoriety system, a new upgrade to the Social Stealth system. Each poster clearly states that the Pazzi will award 50,000 florins to anyone who kills or captures Ezio Auditore.

Once Ezio reaches a minimum of 1% notoriety, wanted posters are featured on the map as locations of importance. Wanted posters can be torn down by simply interacting with them, and each torn down reduces Ezio's notoriety by 25%. One must be careful when tearing down each poster, however, since if guards are nearby and see Ezio removing one, the notoriety meter will increase by a small amount.

Wanted posters appear in determined locations in each game; however, strangely, many of them are in unlikely and not easily viewable locations, such as on balconies or across the walls of a tower, essentially defeating the purpose of publicly displaying Ezio. However, this has been rectified in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, wherein many more posters appear at street level, and in crowded areas.

In Assassin's Creed II: Discovery wanted posters appear only once per place, and once torn down, never reappear in that spot. Tearing down a certain number of posters will cause the Synchronization bar to increase in size.

Trivia

• In Assassin's Creed II: Discovery, the player can use their own photo in place of Ezio's own wanted posters, using the DSi's camera feature.
• "Morti di vivo" is an incorrect Italian translation of the phrase "dead or alive." It should instead be "vivo o morto."
• The posters state that the Pazzi family will offer a reward, even after they have been defeated by Ezio.
• The posters in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, the poster remains the same from the last game.
