Reanimate Leonardo's Dummies
This video demonstrates game mechanics by showing that the dummies in the game are basically inanimate characters. To reanimate a dummy grab a character in the game and you can slowly move the dummy around by moving the character and yourself around the dummy. Move the dummy near at a wall by a corner and it will slide up the wall. If it is high enough the dummy will fall, and this somehow resets the programming. It will walk back to its place and you can interact by stealing, grabbing, and attacking. I record a few attack animations (one outside of Florence to see what would happen, but I get teleported back to that place) and an eagle strike since the dummies are technically tagets. I would have done an eagle strike from the highest places in the game since they are in the same district, but the dummy will walk back if I placed it there, so I found a place far enough away for waypoint separation south of Leonardo's workshop(so I reanimate the dummy only to immobolize it again). 
Haha. That's pretty cool! It looks really odd with him just casually walking around with a sack over/as his head 
Oh, and nice Eagle Strike too 
Yeah, it is. Did you see that guard doing gentle push on it after he shoved me at 58 seconds? And I wish the eagle strike was faster, don't know why it was delayed. 
Yeah its weird how they can be reanimated and manipulated by both you and guards like they're alive. Mind you, I guess they did just use a generic character model to make them.
I must admit, I did notice the slight delay but its still good. I never have the effort or skill to pull off decent Eagle Strikes
Reminds me of Mokujin from the Tekken games...
I still remember when I first picked up the Hidden gun and shot one of the dummies....then swim all the way to loot the one and it says "Keys(1)" I wonder if its still an undiscovered easter egg afterall the octupus was an easter egg must be more....Hmmmm
I wonder if its still an undiscovered easter egg
I wouldn't call it "undiscovered" since it's in our FAQ and this video. I hope to someday make an Eagle's Hunt video on the easter eggs of AC2. Please share your suggestions.
just so you know. the video is blocked by Sony due to copyright
That is.....random. Although it would make eagle strkes much easier.
