"Superblending" refers to the unintended ability for Ezio to remain hidden (blended) while performing actions that would ordinarily attract attention. Superblending is an incredibly useful exploit that can be used widely throughout the game. Before discussing superblend, let's establish the concepts of "blending grace period" and "standing/non-standing surfaces."

The Mysterious Death of Marco Barbarigo
The goal of this mission is to steal the Golden Mask from Dante Moro, sneak into Marco's party, sneak onto Marco's guarded ship, poison him, and escape - all without killing anyone other than Marco, and without being seen at all (no yellow bars over the guards). For added challenge, I don't hire anyone, such as courtesans. This video was recorded in one continuous take.

The goal is to shoot Dante Moro and Silvio Barbarigo from as far away as possible. This mission relies on the unusual mechanics of the hidden gun. You need to be within 15 m to lock onto a target. Once locked on, you can maintain that lock if you remain within 30 m. If you start to aim the gun at your target while you are locked on, you will be able to maintain your aim. The shot will hit its mark as long as nothing obstructs the path of the bullet, regardless of how far the target travels from you.
Silent Landing at Doge's Palace

The goal of this mission is to kill every guard in the Doge's Palace and Carlo Grimaldi without being seen at all. That means no yellow bars over your opponents.
Most of my videos start at the checkpoint immediately before the assassination mission. This missions starts earlier - at the checkpoint when you land on the roof.

The goal is to kill every opponent you that can reach in the "Having a Blast" (Marco Barbarigo) mission without being seen. That means no yellow bars whatsoever. To keep it challenging, I don't use anything other than the hidden blade. This mission is basically the same as the Silent Crash of Carnivale, but on steroids:

Silient Night at Emilio's Palazzo

Silent Night at Emilio's Palazzo
The goal is to kill every opponent in Emilio's Palazzo without being detected. Just for fun, I also stay entirely unseen in this mission. That means no yellow alert bars over the opponents. Also, no smoke bombs and a minimal throwing knives, just to keep it challenging.
You may need to get the first patch for AC2, which was released December 2009.

Silent Crash of Carnivale
The goal is to kill every opponent you that can reach in the "Having a Blast" (Marco Barbarigo) mission without being detected. There are lots of ways to accomplish this task - this video shows just one way. This video is not optimal, but it demonstrates some of the techniques that can be used.
