Assassin’s Creed 2 was quietly one of the games of the year, so it’s impressive that Ubisoft has managed to raise the stakes even higher for Brotherhood. The game features a revamped combat system, a bigger gameworld, and a whole panoply of new gameplay avenues, including the ability to recruit assassins to the Brotherhood and a Fable-like feature that sees whole neighborhoods changing as a result of your shadowy influence.
Coupled with these singleplayer changes is a robust multiplayer system that turns the game’s core assassination mechanic into a pulse-pounding competitive experience. Four different modes will enable you to parkour your way through the streets of Renaissance Italy, pursuing your quarry with deadly intent.
Below, we’ve got a detailed step-by-step walkthrough for the singleplayer campaign. If you’re looking for hard data, try our Cheats, Achievements, and Trophies pages.

Sequence 1: Peace At Last
- ACHIEVEMENT: You’ll notice that right after you are thrown in midst of one of Desmond’s memories, you’ll automatically receive the Technical Difficulties Achievement.
- Following that cryptic message from that mysterious woman, head down the hallway. Hold Y to use your Eagle Vision. Look for the highlighted sections of the wall and climb up to your uncle.
Sequence 2: A Wilderness of Tigers
- Your first objective will be to find a doctor. Head for the blue scope on your map. The doc won’t be too hard to find––he’ll be the dude in that frightening mask.
- After he heals you, sprint toward for the church tower and climb to the apex to test out your abilities. Walk to the edge of the plank to expand your map, then perform a Leap of Faith
- Follow the guards down the path to the right. Make sure to maintain your distance so you don’t get spotted. After a lengthy pursuit, kill the six guards when the screen prompts you to do so before they kill the husband.
- In order to avenge the husband’s wife, you need to go hunt down Il Carnefice. Climb up the building in front of the large wall to get to his house on top of the hill. Once you reach his house, climb up on top of the roof. Lock onto Carnefice and kill him with a lethal strike from the roof.
- Take out the surrounding guards in this area to complete the objective. You can pick-pocket the fallen enemies in order to get some extra money, bullets and throwing knives. Head for the exclamation point on your map to get your next objective.
- Simply accompany Machiavelli as you walk through the streets of Rome. When you reach the Blacksmith, purchase the Stiletto and Roman Spaulders (they will be found under the Small Weapons and Armor categories).
- After you purchase the items, continue to follow Machiavelli. When you reach the next checkpoint, you will have to kill the Borgia Captain. He will have two guards guarding the entryway to where he is located––get on a roof from the opposite side and take them out using some throwing knives.
- If the Captain has not already been lured out, hop down, head through the entry way and kill him. He will take a few more hits than the average guard, but he shouldn’t be too difficult. Once he is dead, make a quick escape and meet back up with Machiavelli.
- You will learn that your killing of the Captain won’t be enough and now you have to burn down the tower. Climb up to the top to watch it ignite. After it burns, walk toward the stable near where Machiavelli is standing to renovate the horse stable.
- Hop on the nearby horse and follow Machiavelli. Following the cutscene, hop off your horse and hunt down the thief. When you get close enough, press RT + B to tackle him.
- Look on your map and head for the exclamation point to meet back up with Machiavelli.
- Begin by following Machiavelli to the Colosseum. When you arrive, save Machiavelli’s contact by hopping off your horse and killing the three guards. Follow the courier down the tunnel and tackle him when you get close enough.
- Head for the exclamation point on your map to obtain your next objective.
- ACHIEVEMENT: You’ll be ambushed by a group of crazy attackers in bear outfits. If you can perform a Speed Kill Streak of 10 you’ll receive the Serial Killer Achievement.
- In order to complete a full synchronization of this memory you’ll need to not lose any health. Pick the pockets of you attackers, then head down the stairs and head through the tiny opening.
- For this objective you’ll have to pull the four levers located in the four corners of the room in order to find a way into the underground ruins. Jumping across the pillars can be frustrating, so aim carefully or you’ll miss them. Once you get the first lever, the other three should be easy as long as you don’t fall.
- Once all four levers have been pulled, jump down into the newly formed hole in the center of the room. Get out of the water and head through the opening with the white statue inside. Turn right, then right again where you will see another statue.
- Climb up the statue and jump over to the left wall. Climb across to the right and around to the outside. As you turn inside the next entryway, jump across to the ledge on the other side.
- Continue around to the right and pull yourself up on the plank. Jump out to the hanging chandelier and use your momentum to propel yourself over the gate to the left. Walk around the pathway and climb up the statue at the end. Face the gate and jump out to the beam.
- Jump to the plank on the left wall. Jump out towards the hanging chandelier and use your momentum to swing yourself out onto the plank on the outside of the wall. Jump across to the next plank, then swing yourself from another chandelier and over the gate. Head up the stairs and pull the lever to the right of the door.
- In order to get past the burning coals you’ll have to climb up the broken pillar on the right. Jump out to the statue, then across to the pillar on the other side. Climb all the way up and across the wall.
- When you get as far as you can go, jump to the middle toward another broken statue. Climb up and jump over to the wall on the other side. Jump from the plank to the pole and swing down to ground level.
- Just like before, get to the top of the statue and jump across to the left wall. Climb to the top. Jump across the steps, then move around the ledge to your right. Move all the way around and jump across to the ledge on the other side.
- Move up to the ledge and around to the left so that you are inside the room. Move all the way around and jump out toward the pole. Swing down and jump across the steps and up onto the ledge over the gate.
Sequence 3: The Fighter, The Lover and The Thief
- Turn left, climb up the wall and get to the top of the building. Find the plank and press Y to synchronize your map before jumping off. Swim out of the water and head for the next lookout point on your map (the center icon in the middle of the three exclamation points).
- Once you get to the top, walk onto the plank and synchronize your map. After you jump from the plank, get up and head for the exclamation point in the Northeast corner of your map. After you head through the castle gate, approach and open the door just ahead.
Between A Rock And A Hard Place
- As soon as you start this objective, run past the fighting guards and chase after the Captain. After you kill him with a single lethal strike, run back down the path and jump down into the water on your left.
- Climb up and around the nearby tower and once you get to the top, before igniting it, climb out onto the plank and synchronize your map. Get back inside the tower and press B to ignite it.
- Follow the blue scope on your map and head back to Bartolomeo. After you talk with him, talk to the architect nearby to renovate Bartolomeo’s Barracks and complete the objective.
- Head to the Rosa in Fiore in the middle of town for the next objective.
- After you talk to the mistress, begin the long jaunt to meet the slave traders. Along your journey, pick-pocket unsuspecting civilians to steal their money.
- After you arrive at the boat and the traders kill the girl, take them all out. Pick-pocket your victims, then head back to the Rosa in Fiore. Keep in mind that once you leave you’ll have to deal with a group of Borgia guards.
- When you arrive at the Rosa, move around to the back and make your way up onto the balcony. After you talk to your mother and sister, head down to the other side of the building and talk to the architect about renovating the Rosa.
- Exit the newly renovated Rosa and head for the final exclamation point on your map.
- Head for the yellow scope on your map to meet with La Volpe. Once you reach the building of the location, climb to the top and drop down into the partial balcony to find him.
- Switch to your throwing knives to help you quickly kill the six guards down below before the thief dies. Do your best to blend in with the crowd as you escort the thief to meet back up with La Volpe. Keep in mind that the guards will be looking for you, so stay close to large groups of people.
- After you find La Volple, you will have to lose your notoriety by killing officials, bribing heralds and ripping down posters. You look on your map for the icons to perform these actions. After you perform at least two of them, meet La Volpe by following the blue scope on your map.
- After you talk with him, go and talk to the nearby architect. Exit the Thieves Guild and head for the next exclamation point.
- ACHIEVEMENT: Once you arrive and talk with your inner circle, head for the blue scope on your map to talk with the guard and complete the sequence.
Sequence 4: Den of Thieves
- Head for the broken heart icon on your map. Approach the women wrapped in light and you will suddenly be teleported into a Matrix-like world. Chase down the lighted figure that is fleeing from you.
- Simplest objective of the game: Simply follow Cristina without being detected.
- Once you revert back to the present time, head for the exclamation point on your map.
- Head for the yellow scope on your map. The best way to infiltrate the castle is to jump in the water and swim across from the south. Climb up the poles to the left, jump across to the ledge and climb over to the bridge to reach the checkpoint.
- Since this is a restricted area, stealth is the best method. If you hide in the hay pile to the right, you can wait for the three guards in this area to walk by, then pull them in and perform a stealth kill.
- Use your throwing knives to take out any remaining guards in the area, then head up the ladder located diagonally from the hay pile. Turn right and use the two barrels as steps to grab onto the ledge of the tower.
- Climb up the tower and perform a stealth kill on the unsuspecting guard standing near the ledge. Climb up and move across to the left, keeping in mind that the red dots on your map are guards.
- Jump into the corner to reach the checkpoint. Lock onto the passing guard down below and jump down to perform a stealth attack. Climb up the stack of crates and swing across the poles.
- Make your way onto the beam, then take out the guard across the way on the roof by using one of your throwing knives. Swing across the poles and make your way over to the next checkpoint.
- Turn right and kill the guard down below on the lower level roof. Turn left and jump onto the inlay in the wall, then hop over to the roof to the right. Jump across to the plank, then turn so that you are facing the tower and leap across to the ledge.
- Climb over to the right to reach the next checkpoint. Jump up here to grab onto the ledge above you. Continue to make your way up and across to the right. Jump across the planks, but keep in mind that you will have to jump back in order to scale the tower, so don’t just swing across.
- After you reach the next checkpoint, swing across the series of poles. One you are hanging on the final plank and have nowhere to jump, press and hold B to drop yourself and catch the ledge underneath you.
- Drop down to the plank directly below you, then jump over to the right to grab onto the ledge. Go as far as you can to the right, then go up to reach the checkpoint.
- After you see where Caterina is being held, jump across to the ledge of the window and climb up to the top of the tower. Before you pull yourself up, continue to climb around to the left and take out the guard from behind when he isn’t looking.
- Pull yourself up onto the roof and take out the guard up ahead. Turn right so that you are facing the ledge and take out the guard down below. Head through the castle doors.
- When you see the stairs that lead up, turn back and head down the stairs on your right. Be careful because there will be a guard passing by. Once you take him out, turn left and then right up the stairs.
- When you hear Caterina’s voice, take out the two guards that are attending to her in front of her cell.
- Make you way back out into the courtyard. Take out the lone guard on the other side, then climb up the door on the right wall. Make your way up the wall and take out the lone guard over on the area to the left.
- Turn right and climb up to the top of the shorter roof. Walk to the edge and drop down onto the winding roof below. Once Lucrezia has been left alone, walk to the part of the roof so that you are standing directly over her. Drop down onto the canopy, then drop down next to her.
- After you kill the guards, walk through the gate and take ahold of Lucrezia. Walk back through the gate and head for Caterina’s cell. Unfortunately, you will have to fight off guards along the way. Each time you do this, Lucrezia will flee. So make your kills quick so that she doesn’t run too far off.
- Take Caterina and set her off to the side before you head downstairs. Take out the two guards guarding the stairs, then go back and pick her up.
- After you head down the two flights of stairs, you will see three guards run down the hallway. Set Caterina down again and take out the one guard standing guard at the bottom of the stairs.
- Turn left down the winding staircase and kill the guard down the stairs. When you head back up, take cover behind the wall next to the doorway and kill the third guard as he walks by.
- Go get Caterina, head down the stairs and turn into the doorway on your right. Turn right again and drop her down the chute. After you jump into the pile of hay, stay hidden and wait for a guard to pass by before pressing X to take him out.
- Before you pick Caterina up, peek out into the hallway and take out any lurking guards. With Caterina, turn left down the hallway. Set her down again and take out the guard standing in front of the doorway to the right. Pick Caterina up and head through that same doorway.
- Now outside, turn right and head up the stairs. Set Caterina down and take out the approaching guard before cranking the wheel on the wall to the left. Pick her up and head up the stairs on the other side.
- Set Caterina down and crank the second wheel. Pick her back up and head for the gate to exit the castle.
- Follow Caterina on horse to exit the castle. After she rides away, get off your horse and fight off the guards for a minute and a half in order to give her enough time to escape. You’ll be totally surrounded, but Ezio’s combos are awesome so it shouldn’t be too difficult a task.
- Following the explosion, it will be up to you to flee the guards and become anonymous. When you are in the clear, head for the Assassin’s Guild (the exclamation point on your map) to meet back up with Caterina.
- Head for the two cross-shaped icons and help the citizens fight off the surrounding guards. After you help the two citizens in both areas, go and talk to them in order to recruit them.
- After you have complete the objective, head for the next exclamation point on your map.
- With the aid of the courtesans, follow the blue scope on your map to find Malfatto. When you spot him, sprint after him and take him down.
- Head for
