Sequence 13
Eagle Strike: Climbing the Ranks
Thu, 05/20/2010 - 03:16 — stabguy
Recall that an eagle strike assassination is a jump followed by a catch ledge and air assassination. We have yet to find a target in AC2 that can be eagle struck where he stands (like William de Montferrat in AC1). However, there are some targets who will follow Ezio and allow themselves to be set up for a sweet eagle strike. Savonarola's lieutenant in Climbing the Ranks is one example and he happens to be near the highest view point in the game, Giotto's Campanile in Florence.

Each of these stunts requires a lot planning in order to execute. They all feature leaps from tremendous heights - just shy of what will kill Ezio.

Still Life - Dynamic Stunt
The target circles around the yard untill he sees something suspicious, at which time he flees to a waypoint on the south side of Palazzo Pitti. This gives a brief opportunity to perform my favorite type of stunt - where both you and the target are running full speed toward the stunt location.

Hyperblending is closely related to superblending. If you are not already familiar with superblending, please read this article first:

The Superblend Exploit

"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."

Easy and Robust
Port Authority may be the most difficult mission in all of AC2. This is a nice easy way to complete the mission for those having difficulty.

The goal in this video is to kill the targets of Sequence 13 as quickly as possible, while remaining Anonymous, if possible, up through the start of the kill animation. The missions in this video are loosely ordered from easiest to hardest to design.
