The Ritual of Baphomet was a virtual representation of one of Arno Dorian's genetic memories, relived by a Helix initiate through the Helix Navigator.
Description[edit | edit source]
Having infiltrated the Baphomet Cult, Arno visited an Assassin who knew where to find their place of worship.
Dialogue[edit | edit source]
- Assassin: I've done some research. An ancient cult! Right here! It's all there on the table.
Arno read the research papers.
- Assassin's report
Rumors persist as to the continued existence of a Cult of Baphomet in Paris. I have myself heard references to a secret entry to a shrine located in one of the isle's cemeteries. Some speak, as well, of a member of the cult who proselytizes in a tavern.
Document
A summary of the medieval inquisition into the Templar Order, 1307:
"Yes, in our profound conviction, the Grand Masters of the Order of the Templars worshiped the Baphomet, and caused it to be worshiped by their initiates; yes, there existed in the past, and there may be still in the present, assembles which are presided over by this figure with head of goat, seated on a throne and crowned by a flaming torch between its horns."
Old diary
21/07 - I've questioned some priests who also believe that there still exist followers of Baphomet here on our islet.
31/08 - I seems [sic] to discern odd silhouettes in the cemetery. I dared not approach lest I put my life at risk.
01/09 - I followed what I believed was a member of the cult. He disappeared into a blind alley.
05/10 - Rumors of one who brings initiates into the order. He is said to haunt taverns and unsavory locales.
After reading the research, Arno headed for the cemetery near Notre-Dame and approached the catacomb entrance.
- Cultist 1: Ah! A new initiate! We are using the chalices you stole in tonight's ritual. Enter!
Arno followed the member into the catacombs.
- Cultist 1: Welcome to the Cult of Baphomet.
Whilst searching for the Templars, Arno overheard several members of the cult.
- Cultist 2: Sisters and Brothers of Baphomet! We here dedicate the life our beloved Sister, Jeanne, to the glory and power of the wisdom of Baphomet!
- Cultist 3: We stand together in gratitude to you, Jeanne, for your bravery.
- Jeanne: I yield this, my body, for the good of my Sisters and Brothers in Baphomet.
- Cultist 2: We honor your sacrifice.
Outcome[edit | edit source]
Arno killed the Templar members of the Baphomet Cult.
