- Piri: "Ah! Turkish smoke bombs. Are you curious to try a few?"
- Ezio: "Should I? I have used smoke bombs before, with varying results."
- Piri: "But not like ours. We have a special recipe for deep, dark clouds. Throw one of these and your eyes are useless. You must rely on your hearing, and... any other senses you may have cultivated."
- —Piri Reis, describing a smoke screen bomb to Ezio.[src]
The Smoke Screen Bomb blinded its victims, thereby breaking their line of sight. It could be crafted using any shell or gunpowder type combined with the phosphorus effect. It could also be obtained by looting Varangian corpses.
Description
When used, the bomb released a thick, dark cloud of smoke, obscuring the vision of those trapped in its radius. Its effect was so great that those inside the smoke screen had to rely completely on their hearing whilst the smoke covered them.
It was a highly effective bomb, both at breaking pursuit and disabling any guards within its radius, without risking civilian casualties. It did not, however, last for very long, allowing the guards outside its radius (while still unable to pass through) to be capable of attacking. It also obscured the Assassin Ezio Auditore's vision, which forced him to activate Eagle Sense in order to "see" inside the cloud.
Certain Assassin apprentices could also equip themselves with the bombs, after advancing enough through the ranks of the Assassin Order.
Trivia
- The achievement "I can see you" can be achieved by killing 5 guards, while they are caught under the cover of the smoke screen bomb.
