Assassin's Creed 2

[SethMode]

Workin' on the feathers. Ugh.

Couldn't bring myself to do it. Got everything but that, and the achievement that you can't get unless you do that first.

[Prodigal Son]

used a map to find all the feathers. Took about 2 hours. It's not so bad. Just have to remember, not all the feathers are on roofs. I think a few in Florence are in windows, a couple in venice are on the poles sticking out of the water.

Is there a way to set a marker on the map for the courtesan locations?

There are a couple of buildings I need to get in and I'm having trouble finding them nearby.

The courtesans are usually right around the corner. If it's one of the buildings that has the chests, or a codex, just use whoever is closest to you, thieves are usually the best because the guards will go chase after them.

I like to just go apeshit with the dual wrist blades. Killing two guards at once while standing between them never gets old.

[Twigg4075]

Ok, so does dyying your clothes do anything? Bring down your notoriety maybe? I can get a pimp dye for $1200 but fuck that if it's cosmetic only.

Also, I could've sworn I had a sword ealry on and now it's gone? I just have the hidden blade and my fists.

Sometimes powerful enemies will hit your weapon out of your hand, so you have to pick them back up. If you don't you can go to the manor and re-equip them (assuming you're that far in the game)

Damn. I guess that's what happened. I'm pretty sure it was called a 'broken sword' for some reason. Maybe it became useless?

Also, are thieves always located on rooftops?

Thats what I'd do. You could walk up to four guards and kill them with the dual blades easily without them knowing wtf is going on.

Purely cosmetic. at some point, it doesn't even matter because you have so much money you won't spend it. When I finished the game, I had over 500,000 florins.

But, i also had the special armor and the suit you wear for it can't be changed to any other color.

If you're on the 360, there is an achievement when in Flori and buy two colors.

So far I've found that it is much easier to pull of assassinations in this one compared to the first.

Damn, 500K?

I'm on PS3 but I would imagine there's an equal trophy?

Sorry about all the dumb questions but I always feel like I'm missing something with these type of games. I just finished the first mission in Tuscany. I'm guessing I'll definitely be going back to Florence at some point? The reason I ask is that I don't remember doing a single side mission there, except for one. And that was a beat up mission where I realized I forgot to do just before I did the Tuscany mission. But I could've sworn when I did my first race mission with the first thief you meet that a box popped up saying "Race Missions Unlocked".

Am I remembering incorrectly? Did I fuck something up by starting the Tuscany missions?

[j.hen]

Twigg you can travel city to city by hitting up the fast travel locations in each map.

[Twigg4075]

I know. I'm more concerned that I may have somehow missed a bunch of side missions.

[Prodigal Son]

you didn't. You can hit those side missions up at any point.
