Eavesdropping was a form of Investigation used by Assassins.
History
High Middle Ages
To begin an Eavesdropping Investigation, Altaïr located an Eavesdropping target and a nearby bench, neither too close nor too far from the target. The target could have been located using Eagle Vision, which made them glow white and stand out of a crowd.
Once at the objective, Altaïr found a bench near the target and sat down. Then, he locked on to the target and eavesdropped. The camera will then zoom in on the target and anyone they are speaking with, and a short conversation (usually regarding information on an assassination target) will be heard.
Renaissance
During the Renaissance in Italy, Assassins like Ezio Auditore would tail Templars, or his targets to listen to their conversations to gather more information about his enemies before striking.
Trivia
- If Altaïr is being chased by guards, they may disrupt the Eavesdropping Investigation.
- Once Altaïr began an eavesdropping mission, regardless of how far he was from the target, he could hear the conversation with equal clarity, as though he was standing right next to the target.
