The Polo Symbols: Hippodrome
The Polo Symbols, or Book Quests, were virtual representations of some of Ezio Auditore's genetic memories, relived by Desmond Miles in 2012 through the Animus.
Aqueduct
Perching on the southern end of Valens Aqueduct, Ezio used his Eagle Sense to scan a Polo symbol further south, outside the entrance of a building. He found the Iliad.
Arsenal
Ezio climbed the tallest mast of the ship in the western part of the Harbor of Theodosius. His sixth sense detected the book was on the dock just north of him, and he recovered The Book of Kings.
Church I
On the view point of the Gul Mosque's minaret, Ezio found a book just beneath him on the roof of the main building. The book contained The Canterbury Tales.
Church II
A small, unmarked church due East of the Romani headquarters, and due West of the Myrelaion Church. Ezio sensed a book on the roof, and recovered The Flute Girl.
Forum of the Ox
On the column view point, Ezio scanned a symbol between two columns to the east, and found the Nibelungenlied.
Galata
Ezio climbed to the top of a minaret and detected the book on the wall connected to Galata Tower. Parachuting there, he dug up One Thousand and One Nights.
Hippodrome
Climbing the Obelisk of Theodosius, Ezio scanned a symbol to the Hippodrome's southeast and dug up The Travels of Marco Polo.
Dialogue
After purchasing and finding all available books, once Ezio returned to the Galata headquarters, he was surprised to receive a visit from Sofia Sartor.
- Sofia: Hello!
- Ezio: Eh?
- Sofia: Ezio, you old snake! You walked right past me.
- Ezio: Forgive me, Sofia. I did not notice. What are you doing in Galata?
- Sofia: Making some deliveries. Is this where you stay?
- Ezio: Ah, sì (yes). It is a kind of... school.
- Sofia: What is taught here?
- Ezio: Come this way. I want to show you something. I have been stocking the library here with rare books. A good start, no?
- Sofia: Ah! These are all so beautiful. And such diversity. So, are these men and women YOUR students?
- Ezio: In a way, yes.
- Sofia: Well, if they ever need a literature scholar, give them my name. In a pinch, I am a pretty good teacher.
- Ezio: If they find the time to read, I certainly will.
- Sofia: Oh! Chaucer! Bellissimo. (Very nice.)
Trivia
- The memories were indicated on the map by a book symbol resembling the one for Book Shops, but with a black border.
- If the Armor of Ishak Pasha or Turkish Assassin Armor was equipped during the final cutscene, the mask was not be removed.
