Stuck on Assassin's Creed II's glyph puzzles? Get help with photo, slider, marker, and combination puzzles. Find solutions and tips here!

Alright, let's talk about those tricky glyph puzzles in Assassin's Creed II. Don't worry, they seem more complicated than they are, and the game actually guides you through them in a set order. It doesn't matter which glyph you tackle first; the game knows which one is next in line. Plus, you don't have to solve them right away, so you can explore the world and come back to them later if you want.

These puzzles come in a few different flavors. You'll run into ones where you have 10 photos and a clue to find five that share a common theme. Others will show you a photo and ask you to find a secret hidden within it. Then there are the slider puzzles, where you're presented with jumbled pictures on rotating rings that you need to align perfectly. Marker puzzles are usually the easiest, just requiring you to place your cursor over specific objects on screen. Finally, you'll encounter combination puzzles, where you'll need to crack a code.

I'll break down each puzzle below to help you out. My best advice, though? Try to figure them out yourself first! It's way more satisfying when you crack it on your own. But if you're truly stuck, I've got the solutions ready for you.

1) In The Beginning

This first puzzle gives you a clue: "Five of these mythic scenes share a CORE similarity. PICK them out and you'll begin to see."

The key here is to pay attention to those clue words. You'll be shown 10 different paintings, and your job is to find the five that have something in common. Look closely at each picture and think about what the clue might be hinting at.

Solution:

The common thread that links these five pictures is the apple. The specific paintings you need to select are:

• Judgement of Paris
• Atlanta and Hippomenes
• Hercules in the Garden of the Hesperides
• The Fall
