Treasure chest
In Assassin's Creed II
The Treasure Chests appear as shiny boxes.The chests are existent in all Assassin's Creed II cities (usually hidden on balconies
or on rooftops) If the player can find them he or she will receive some florins.
Chests in cities are protected by either a single guard, or a team of four guards.
The Codex Pages and Chest 'buildings' are referred to as banks in the Animus Database.
Rebecca states that although all Families own banks, most of these banks are owned by the Pazzi family and that breaking into them (By silencing the guards) will be worth your time.
Banks will always contain 2 chests or one codex page. Also, the money you get from the chest vary greatly, reaching rewards of 100, to over 1000 florins.
Trivia
- It is possible, In Florence and Tuscany, to create a small civil war via Banks. To do this you need to come across a Pazzi owned bank (The soldiers are dressed in Pazzi Red, Not Medici Yellow) and either attract Medici guards to the Pazzi ones or attract the Pazzi guards to a Medici Patrol (By angering the guards and getting them to follow you.) Just lead the idiots to each other and watch them brawl. On a rare occurence, a guard may still target you rather than his other enemies, just silence him and keep your distance. If you want to have even more fun; Invite a few Mercs or Thieves into the brawl.
- If you decide to invest in a well for your villa, you will notice that you can actually go down the well and survive, unlike others in Florence and their cities, beneath the well there will be 2 chests, and if you invest in a mine just north of the city wall, you can go into the mine, there will be 2 chests of florins waiting for you to collect. There will also be 2 chests in Ezio's room, the top floor of the villa.
