Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood Walkthrough Video Guide (Xbox 360, PS3, PC)

Sequence 5: The Banker

Escape From Debt

Try to make sure you have six senior recruits. (Three full assassin signals) available before you start memory 1.

You should also make sure that you have at least 3,000 florins before you begin memory 2.

Speak to Claudia at the Rosa in Fiore, and head to Capitol Hill to locate Egidio Troche. Watch the cut-scene and rush forward to save him. Press the head button to order Troche to stand still, press the head button again to order Troche to Ezio’s current location.

The distance that desynchronization occurs is relatively wide, which means you are able to have a wide range away from him to keep him away from danger.

For full synchronisation in this level you must employ Guild Assassinations to neutralise the groups of guards you come across. To shorten some of the battles use your throwing knives or crossbows from a safe undetected distance. (Or if you prefer go take Ezio into battle) Your main objective is to keep Troche safe and not let him get killed.

Follow The Money

Follow the money if the first of 3 interconnected memories, stock up on supplies if you want to complete all 3 interconnected memories at once. (Crossbows and Throwing knives) This is also an opportunity to send your assassins on lengthy and profitable contracts.

For full synchronisation Ezio needs to stay above ground undetected whilst following the Senator. This is a fairly straightforward task. Approach the rooftops carefully using walls and chimneys to stay undercover. Used your ranged weapons to kill them whilst their backs are turned. Do not feel obligated to stay close to Troche and his entourage. As long as you stay focused and in site by using your camera on them before the 25 second timer is up there is no need for concern.

As you approach the final way point, be careful as the number of rooftop sentries increase.

After the cut-scene it is safe enough to jump down to the lower levels. Once you are on top of the Dome, you can find away in via the handholds. Using your air assassination to eliminate the targets as you move within range.

When In Rome

In this memory Ezio is disguised. He must find his way to an invisible way point marker, using the comments given to him by Borgia.

This can also been known as “hotter” and “colder”. The more Ezio deviates from their anticipated route, the more bewildered and suspicious their responses will become.

If Ezio moves to far off route the suspicion meter level will begin to fill. You must be careful as desynchronisation will occur. By using your eagle eye vision you can use it to detect the wrong route. Ezio will turn red when he faces the incorrect route.

In And Out

Ezio is at Notoriety in this memory. If Ezio is detected it will lead to immediate de-synchronization At the start Ezio needs to hire the nearest group of courtesans. The objective in the memory is to follow the box full of money through the party until Ezio can make a safe attempted on the Bankers life. There are two very important rules to achieve this.

1. Remember that the two courtesans will automatically distract groups of guards for you. Try your best to avoid making any encounters with potential threats.

2. Move with Caution. Do not run or do anything quickly that might attract someone attention. Be careful of citizens carrying boxes as a careless bump may lead you to be detected.

When you reach the party near the foot of the steps send your courtesans out to distract the guards that are blocking your entrance. Enter the restricted area, following your targets from a safe distance . Further on in you journey a cinematic interlude will commence introducing the Banker. After it ends wait for the Borgia soldier to leave (the solider in the amour) and send your courtesans in to distract before you continue on with your journey.

Follow the Banker until you reach the area where the guards are located, you will see a ladder, take the unguarded ally to the left of the sentries to reach the main area of the party.
After Cesare Borgia addresses the crowd , assassinate the nearby leader by hiding in the cart full of hay. Jump onto the wall to avoid the guard. Reaching the group of courtesans in the north east corner and hire them.

For full synchronisation Ezio must assassinate him from a bench. The bench is located in the south-east corner. Locate it and sit down. When the banker walks in front of Ezio perform a stealth assassination. Your final objective will be to escape the area your located in. The easiest way to achieve this is to drop over the south east wall. Ezio will sustain some damage in the fall, he can now proceed to the marked zone to end this memory.
