Need help with Assassin's Creed II's Glyph Puzzles? This guide breaks down the Origin of the Species puzzle and other glyph challenges.

Alright, let's tackle these tricky Glyph Puzzles in Assassin's Creed II. The first one we'll look at is called "The Origin of the Species." Don't let the name scare you; it's more of a logic puzzle than anything else.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Start with the outermost rings of the puzzle. Move the fifth outer ring twice counterclockwise.
  2. 2
    Next, take the fourth ring and turn it counterclockwise twice.
  3. 3
    Now, focus on the third ring and turn it clockwise twice.
  4. 4
    Move to the second ring and turn it clockwise five times.
  5. 5
    Finally, the first ring, which is right in the center, needs to be turned counterclockwise three times.
  6. 6
    Once that's done, look for the eye in the sun. You'll need to identify it to move on to the next part of the puzzle.
  7. 7
    The third part is another combination puzzle. It might seem daunting, but remember the Creed's motto: "Nothing is true. Everything is permitted." Use that! If you see a "-" symbol, you can replace it with anything you like to form your code.

    For the last part, you'll see a skeleton. Move your cursor over all of its joints. Doing this will make it transform and complete this puzzle, as well as all the other glyph puzzles you'll encounter.
Tips
  • The ring puzzles can be a bit fiddly, so take your time and double-check each movement.
  • Don't overthink the third part; the Creed's motto is the key!
  • Make sure you hover over every single joint on the skeleton in the final step.
