Visitazione's Secret

Getting There[edit]

The entrance to the tomb is on top of the first level of the building's roof. You can pretty easily climb the building on the eastern face and then shimmy around to the north face and continue up. There's a small nook where the building's tower meets the first level of roof, and in there you'll find the entrance.

Getting the Seal[edit]

After taking a leap of faith into a hay stack, a quick cut scene interrupts you. After the scene, hop out of the hay and assassinate the nearest guard. The second guard, across the hall, won't be so easy to nab. As you approach him, the guard runs, initiating a chase scene.

The chase is pretty straight-forward. Whenever the guard drops a gate in your face, look left for an alternate route. Don't worry about actually catching him, because it's not possible. You're just meant to follow him, and if you fall behind the guard will even wait around for you. Near the end of the chase, you'll actually need to look for alternate routes on the right, but it's never complicated.

Eventually you're lead to the end point, where the enemy guard calls for help. Climb up the root-covered wall to the right to break into their room. As you jump down on them, you can land an assassination on one or two of the guards before picking a fight with the rest. Kill 'em all, then open a door to the south.

Pull the lever in the next cavern and you'll get a lengthy camera pan that shows a bunch of switches falling into place. There are four switches that need to be hung on in order to open a door to the sarcophagus. The switches, and even some poles that you need to get there, are on timers, so you'll need to be quick.

Start by jumping off of the first part of the broken walkway in the water, leaping left onto a narrow column. From there you can jump onto a platform attached to the wall, and you should get a notification that tells you how to perform an advanced wall run jump. You need to run straight up the wall of the cavern and then, at the peak of your wall run, jump right to launch Ezio onto the first of the four switches.

Continue cruising around the perimeter of the cavern. You'll have to use the advanced wall run in a number of locations, so look for opportunities.

The route is pretty simple to follow, until you get to just before the fourth and final switch. You've got to move upward by sort of spiraling around a broken wall. As you move higher, you can continue north to swing on a pole and eventually reach the final switch. The door to the tomb will open, letting you move in to grab the Seal of Leonius.
