Stuck on the Bunker puzzle in Assassin's Creed II? Follow our guide to decipher the symbols, find the Assassin's mark, and complete this challenging combination lock.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    You'll find yourself in The Bunker, facing a tricky combination puzzle. The clues are subtle, with a '<' symbol and a '4' visible in the pictures. Your goal is to line these up on the two wheels.
  2. 2
    Focus on the red wheel. You need to find symbols that correspond to the code on the grey wheel: 791. This is where it gets tricky. Shaun's hint about angles is key. Look at the symbols on the code wheel, moving clockwise. Each symbol has one more angle than the last. For example, 'O' has no angles, and '<' has one.
  3. 3
    To find the symbol for 7 on the grey wheel, you need one with five angles. Flip through the symbols on the combination wheel until you find one with five angles. The bowtie shape is given for 9, so you just need to find the symbols for 7 and 1.
  4. 4
    Continuing the pattern, the symbol for 1 should have eight angles.
  5. 5
    Solution for the wheels:
    • 7 = the upside-down and tilted 'e' shape (5 angles)
  6. 6
    9 = the bowtie shape (provided)
  7. 7
    1 = the small diamond inside a bigger diamond (8 angles)
  8. 8
    Once the wheels are set, you're presented with a picture of a building. You need to scan this picture for the Assassin symbol.
  9. 9
    Solution for the picture: The Assassin's symbol is located in the upper right corner of the 2nd floor area of the building in the picture. It's partially covered, so keep an eye out!
Tips
  • Don't get discouraged by the Bunker puzzle; it's designed to be difficult. Take your time counting the angles on the symbols.
  • The pattern of increasing angles is the most reliable way to solve the wheel combination.
  • Remember the Assassin's symbol is a common motif, but its placement in the picture is specific.
