How to unlock the Tip of the Iceberg achievement in Assassin's Creed II - Definitive Guide

There are a few selected buildings that are home to the special Glyphs that you can decode. Not that it is not a requirement to do them all, but if you want to Plat this game then you will be.

To scan a Glyph, all you do is hold the cn_T button to activate Eagle Vision and then you approach a Glyph. Then you will have to figure out the code by solving a mini-puzzle/rhyme/riddle (whatever you would like to call it).

The easiest location of a Glyph is when you make it the Villa Auditore. Stand and face the front of the mansion. Hold cn_T and look up and to the left. You will see the Glyph plastered on the outside wall. Simply climb up to it and then solve the puzzle.

I can't for sure say what puzzle you will get because none of the puzzle are specifically tied to a Glyph. The first few are fairly easy but they can be crazy difficult between your 15th and 20th Glyph.

You can unlock this as early as DNA Sequence 2. Glyphs are markings located on the walls of landmark buildings. As locations are added to your database, some entries will have a icon in the top left corner, signifying that this location has a glyph somewhere on it. There are 20 in all located in the five cities. They glow white so are visible to the naked eye. When you find one, stand (or hang) in front of it and hold to activate your Eagle Vision, thus unlocking this achievement.

The first glyph available is at the top of La Rosa Colta, the building where you agree to meet Annetta at (to start the memory ‘Fitting In’ in DNA Sequence 2). Refer to “A Piece of the Puzzle” for more information.

Refer to “Vitruvian Man” for a video showing the locations and puzzle solutions for all 20 glyphs.

In every city there is glyphs that are on some walls. They are symbols and they are bright white. If you see one you will certainly notice it. Once you see one use your eagle vision and you will get an encrypted message from Subject 16. See Vitruvian Man for the locations of the glyphs and how to beat them.
