A Change of Plans
A Change of Plans is a memory in Assassin's Creed II.
Description
While celebrating the Assassins' victory over Vieri de' Pazzi, Mario shows Ezio the Codex Wall. He tells him that the Codex is a journal written by a legendary Assassin named Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad, and that the Codex states the ways of their Creed. He explains that his brother attempted to obtain all of the pages, but with little success. Ezio, feeling that he needs to complete his father's work, decides to search for them during his quest for revenge. Ezio then goes to the only view point in Monteriggioni and synchronizes the map. He finds three codex pages within the town, and one out in the nearby countryside. Before showing his success to Mario, he meets up with his sister, who complains that she now has to deal with the Villa Auditore's banking accounts. She explains the banking and renovation system to Ezio, and mentions that the more he invests in Monteriggioni, the greater his income shall be. Ezio meets with the town architect, who explains how to renovate and says that his contributions will bring Monteriggioni back to its former glory. Ezio finally goes back to Mario, who hangs the four new Codex pages on the Wall before they go into the secret Sanctuary. There, Mario explains to Ezio that the sanctuary contains a very powerful set of armor that can only be unlocked by going through six secret Assassin's Tombs and obtaining six Assassin's Seals to unlock the gate mechanism. Ezio prepares himself for the journey for the Codex and the Armor and heads back to Florence.
Outcome
Ezio learns more about his father's goals as an Assassin. He is introduced to the renovation system, finds four more Codex pages and learns of the existence of the Sanctuary and the Armor of Altaïr.
