Poison Darts

Edit Page    Last Edit: 3 years ago

Poison Darts were long-range weapons used by the Assassin Ezio Auditore during his stay in Rome and Constantinople.


The darts had the same effect as the poison blade, but were fired from distance in the same way as the Hidden Gun, what made them extremely useful for stealth missions. Firing a dart was silent and aiming was almost flawless, similar to the crossbow.[1] The effects of a poison dart occurred immediately after the target was shot:

  • First stage: The target stands at their post or walks alongside their group of guards, though they begin to clutch at his chest and struggles to remain standing as the poison seeps in. None of his fellow guards seem to notice that something is wrong with him. ('Fast Poison' skips this stage)
  • Second Stage:The poison begins to have serious effects on the target. They begins to flail helplessly in a circle, striking anyone who comes in reach of them. If they have a weapon, they may draw it and flail it around as well. Civilians and guards alike are drawn to this spectacle, making it a perfect distraction.
  • Third Stage: The target is overcome completely by the poison and falls on the ground, still having spasms caused by the poison. After a short time, the target dies.


From a long enough distance, Ezio would not be noticed by guards even if he shot their comrades. However, they would attack him if he were close enough and they noticed him firing the dart. Poisoning guards (especially Seekers) was a good distraction that could hold any nearby guards' attention long enough for sneaking in and assassinating. Firing a dart at your target from a crowd of civilians would not draw attention, easing up a kill of the target while blending.
