Arch Nemesis
Arch Nemesis is a memory in the Bonfire of the Vanities DLC pack for Assassin's Creed II.
Description
The Condottiero is another Florentine noble under the influence of Girolamo Savonarola and the Artifact. He has completly closed the Ponte Vecchio by placing his Mercenaries on both sides. He declares that the bridge shall remain closed until the people of Florence accept Savonarola as their new leader.
Dialogue
- Condottiero: "I hear you moaning and complaining. You say you have things to do. Places to go. Obligations to fulfill. Hah! You have but ONE obligation - TO SUBMIT! Why fight us? Why resist us? The city is ours. Your precious Medici have abandoned you! Fled into the wastes to wallow in self pity! Savonarola wants only the best for you. A city free of vice and temptation. A people united by faith. All men are equal in the eyes of the Lord - and so they shall be in Firenze! This is a chance for us to turn over a new leaf! To leave behind our miserable past - and return to simpler times. I am here to help. To lead you into a new future. Only accept our gift. Continue to refuse, and i fear you'll have to contend with more than just a shattered bridge."
Ezio assassinates The Condottiero
- Ezio: You wear a noble's clothes. How is it Savonarola charmed you?
- Condottiero: Wealth and power do not ensure contentment. I wanted even more...
- Ezio: And now, instead, you have nothing. Questo non è che un atto dovuto (This is something that must be done)... Requiescat in pace (Rest in peace).
Outcome
Ezio succeeds in assassinating him. The Medici guards assume control of the area and the bridge is opened.
