Assassin's Creed II: The Bonfire of the Vanities

Bonfire of the Vanities

Sequence 13 begins in 1497, two years prior to Sequence 14 and nine years after Sequence 12.

Ezio has tracked Savonarola to Florence, where the player can now explore the southern province of the city.

After meeting with Machiavelli, Ezio devises that bringing unrest to the city will force Savonarola to come out and settle the unrest.

In order to bring about this unrest, Ezio assassinates nine of Savonarola’s lieutenants who preach before the city’s limits.

The people become angry and a mob forms outside the church where Savonarola preaches to the mob to disperse.

He exposes the Apple to bewitch the mob, but Ezio quickly throws a knife at the Piece of Eden and Savonarola drops it.

The mob proceeds to take the priest away, but a guard quickly rushes in to retrieve the Apple. Ezio rushes after the guard and reclaims it.

Afterward, the mob takes Savonarola to the southern province to burn him at the stake, but Ezio, believing no one deserves such a fate, assassinates the priest to spare him the pain.

Ezio stands before the confused crowd and declares all should follow their own path.
