The Ezio Auditore Affair
Template:WPmemories
The Ezio Auditore Affair is a memory in The Da Vinci Disappearance downloadable content pack for Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood.
Description
Ezio uses his newly acquired invitation and a few courtesans to enter the Castel Sant'Angelo, which was showcasing several works of art, including two da Vinci paintings. Ezio moves among the crowd and marks the paintings for the courtesans to steal.
Dialogue
Ezio meets with a group of courtesans on the bridge to the Vatican. He instructs them on what to do once inside the Castel Sant'Angelo.
- Ezio: Come with me. Once we get inside, I will mark the paintings for you to steal. Bring them to Leonardo's workshop. Capito? (Understand?)
The courtesans, led by Ezio, make their way to the art viewing but are stopped by a guard at the entrance to the castello.
- Guard #1: Invitation?
- Ezio: Here.
Ezio hands the guard the invitation and the group of courtesans flirt with him as they pass.
- Guard #1: Oh my. Come back soon... I hope.
Ezio makes his way around the viewing, in the outer yard of the castello, in search of the first painting.
- Cardinal #1: How daring! I have not seen an annunciation from this angel before.
- Cardinal #2: The composition suffers I feel. The light of God is not properly expressed. It does not move me.
- Cardinal #1: You are truly stuck in your ways, my friend.
Ezio identifies the first painting and marks it for theft. Soon after, a guard emerges from the Castello, inviting the cardinals inside.
- Guard #2: The upper floors are now open to the cardinals who wish to see additional expressions of devotion.
Ezio sneaks into the Castello to locate the final da Vinci painting. Once the painting has been identified and marked for theft, Ezio begins his escape. His actions do not go unnoticed.
- Guard #3: Two of the paintings are missing! Be on the lookout for a thief!
Outcome
Ezio locates the final two paintings and vacates the castello.
Trivia
- To achieve full synchronization, Ezio must not use any type of ranged weaponry, including throwing any heavy weapons.
- The first target painting is located randomly, thus Ezio needs to use Eagle Vision to find it.
- To mark the paintings, Ezio scratches a line onto the edge of the frame.
- The memory title is a reference to The Thomas Crown Affair, a heist film based on a 1962 novel, in which a wealthy banker plans to steal an expensive Monet painting.
- The memory is one of the few where the Castel Sant'Angelo and the Ponte Sant'Angelo are not restricted areas.
