Description
Ezio travels to Rome to assassinate Rodrigo Borgia and retrieve the Staff of Eden. When Ezio arrives at the base of the Castel Sant'Angelo, he promptly climbs it on the Pasetto di Borga, where he is confronted by many guards. After Ezio dispatches them, he continues to make his way towards the Vatican on horseback. Once Ezio reaches the Capella Sistina, he enters, using the groups of monks to his advantage, by blending with them. With skillful stealthiness, Ezio enters the Capella Sistina as Rodrigo is performing a prayer. Ezio uses the rooftop constructions to make his way towards Rodrigo, then promptly assassinates him. As Ezio begins to speak to Rodrigo, as he had done with all his other targets, Rodrigo opens his eyes, and uses the Staff to push Ezio away, and subdue everyone else in the Hall. Ezio however is immune to the effects of the Staff because of his possession of the Apple. Ezio then creates clones of himself (just as Al Mualim did to Altaïr) to assist him against Rodrigo. After the fight, Rodrigo is able to get the Apple out of Ezio's grasp, and rises him into the air with the Staff. Rodrigo then stabs Ezio in the stomach, though he is not seriously wounded. Once Ezio gets back up, he uses his Eagle Vision to find the secret entrance to the Vatican Vault. Entering the Vault, he sees Rodrigo desperately trying to open the Vault. Ezio then challenges Rodrigo to a fist fight, one without trickery, weapons, or ancient artifacts, to which Rodrigo agrees. After Ezio defeats Rodrigo in this duel, he spares him, as killing him would not bring his family back. He then opens the Vault, declaring that Rodrigo was never the Prophet, and that he himself was. He then enters the Vault and receives the message from Minerva.
Outcome
- Rodrigo Borgia is spared.
- Ezio learns of a great tragedy that will befall mankind.
