Road Trip

Follow our expert guide to complete the Road Trip mission in Assassin's Creed II, including finding Codex Pages, Glyphs, and solving puzzles.

Alright, so Lorenzo's gonna hook you up with a Medici Cape. This thing is super handy because it stops people from noticing you causing trouble in Florence and Tuscany. Pretty sweet deal!

Your next stop is Leonardo's place. Just head to the blue marker on your map and give his door a knock. Turns out, he's conveniently skipped town for Venice, which is exactly where Ezio needs to go anyway. Easy peasy!

• Medici Cape acquired

Okay, new marker pops up to the east. Before we head out of Florence, let's grab another Codex Page and a GLYPH. Make your way to the northeast corner of the city. If you haven't already synced a viewpoint nearby, you might not see the marker, but it's close to the Ospedale Degli Innocenti. That's where the glyph is hiding.

To find this glyph, look for the building with a courtyard surrounded by a square roof. On the east side of that roof, near a chimney, you'll find the glyph on a small wall. Scan it to kick off the puzzle.

-[The Inventors]-

This puzzle is called "The Inventors." You'll see an electricity marker. Your job is to drag it over each of the lightbulbs. Hit [X] to move on. There are no beeps or visual cues to help you out here, so you'll have to do some good old-fashioned searching. The Piece of Eden you're looking for should be just a bit above the door.

For the second part of this puzzle, you get infrared vision, but honestly, it doesn't help at all. You can scan the picture all you want, but you won't see anything, forcing you to click around blindly. It's got something to do with the guy sitting down. Pick the book he's holding, and scanning that will solve this puzzle.

-----[11/20]------------------------------------------------------------------

The Codex Page you need is just south of this area. Again, if you haven't synced the viewpoints, the marker won't show up on your map. You'll need to defeat the guards hanging out outside before you can snag it. For a little extra help finding it, it's just west of a Tailor shop, which itself is directly west of the eastern gate of Florence.

With the glyph and Codex Page secured, head to the east gate and make your exit from the city. Grab a horse and ride for the Mountains. Once you reach the marker in front of you, step into it to trigger a cutscene.
