Courier Missions

Casanova

Location: A short walk to the south of the Palazzo Auditore entrance in Florence.

Special Conditions: Deliver the two letters before the time expires; both recipients are guarded by individuals who will attack Ezio if their suspicion level is maxed out by standing in their line of sight.

Advice: The recipient to the southeast is standing on a balcony, with two guards gazing balefully at would-be suitors strolling below. Scale the south wall of the building, then speak to her and leave quickly before her guardians can react. The second woman can be found inside a courtyard with a group of men standing guard at its only entrance. Climb onto the roof, then quietly drop down and converse with her to complete the delivery.

Reward: 100f

Wedding Bells Are Ringing

Location: On the main street leading into the center of town when you enter the south gate in San Gimignano in Tuscany.

Special Conditions: Complete the journey before the time expires.

Advice: Two minutes is a highly generous time allocation-your destination, as a quick glance at the map will reveal, is a church in the northeast of the city. As long as Ezio’s Notoriety level isn’t at maximum, you could jog there and still have plenty of seconds to spare.

Reward: 1,000f

Speedy Delivery

Location: Outside a Bank on the main street that leads from San Gimignano’s south gate to the center of town in Tuscany.

Special Conditions: You must complete “Wedding Bells Are Ringing” before you can start this Memory. There is a time limit of 2:30 with three separate destinations.

Advice: Sprint to the south gate and grab a horse; you don’t have a hope of reaching all three drop-off points without one. Dismount to speak to each recipient, then quickly get back on the horse and set off for your next destination. A journey with no hitches should leave you with approximately 25 seconds to spare, so rest assured that minor mistakes won’t be punished harshly.

Reward: 2,500f

The Messenger’s Burden

Location: Near a Bank west of Abbazia di San Mercuriale in the center of Forlì in Romagna.

Special Conditions: Deliver the message within the allotted time limit.

Advice: Run east from the starting position, then take the second street to the left. Climb the wall to the right of a group of Courtesans to reach a rooftop, where you will find a rope “bridge” providing easy access to Forlì’s east wall. Jump from the Leap of Faith position directly ahead, and the recipient is just a short sprint to the south. How you deal with the final twist is entirely up to you-there are no penalties or additional rewards either way.

Reward: 2,500f

The Perfect Marriage

Location: Cannaregio district in Venice.

Special Conditions: You must loot the Thief’s body, so don’t do anything that might cause him to fall into water.

Advice: Ezio is asked to retrieve a letter by killing the man who stole it. Naturally, he’s of the Agile archetype. There is a five minute time limit, but you can remove the need for a chase by approaching the target from behind. From his position on the rooftops, he faces east; sneak up from the west for a fuss-free Hidden Blade kill. Should he spot Ezio, switch to Throwing Knives to cut the pursuit short. Loot the body and return to the final waypoint.

Reward: 3,500f
