The Hookblade

The Hookblade is a memory in Assassin's Creed: Revelations.

Description

After Ezio Auditore upgraded his arsenal, he returned to the Assassins headquarters. Yusuf Tazim noticed Ezio's second hidden blade and introduced him a modified version of the blade which the Assassins called a Hookblade.

Equipped with the new blade, Yusuf displayed the use of this blade to Ezio.

Dialogue

Yusuf display's his Hookblade.

• Yusuf: Praise the heavens! We feared we had lost our Mentor to the vices of the big city!
• Ezio: I am content with my own vices, grazie (thank you).
• Yusuf: So, what's on your mind, Ezio?
• Ezio: Tell me more about the Templars. You call them Byzantines, yet the Byzantine Empire was overthrown sixty years ago.
• Yusuf: These men are remnants of a line loyal to the cause of the last Emperor, Constantine XI. Who leads them now, however, I cannot say.
• Ezio: Capisco. (I see.) I suppose it is up to me to find out.

Yusuf noticed Ezio's second blade.

• Yusuf: Ezio, where is your hookblade?
• Ezio: My hookblade?
• Yusuf: You've never seen one? I grew up using these.

One of the Assassins nearby handed Yusuf a hookblade. Ezio armed himself with the new blade.

• Ezio: Hmm, show me how it works.
• Yusuf: Follow my lead!

Yusuf demonstrated the use of a hookblade and Ezio followed him performing every maneuver displayed.

• Yusuf: Think of the hookblade as an extension of yourself, Ezio.
  You think I can't make this one?

  (Laughs) Didn't break a sweat!

After sometime they returned to the Galata tower where Yusuf displayed a new move.

• Yusuf: Watch and learn, Ezio. We call this a hook-and-run.
  Sprint at your opponent, and just as you reach him, use the hookblade to slip by.

Outcome

Ezio Auditore gained a replacement for his broken blade and learned the maneuvers that are done with it.

Trivia

• To achieve full synchronization, Ezio must perform every hookblade move successfully at least once.
