How to unlock the An Unexpected Journey achievement in Assassin's Creed II - Definitive Guide
At one point you will be escorting Leonardo to Venice. You will take over the carriage and have to swerve on the narrow mountainside road to avoid hitting either a wall or somewhat inconveniently placed debris. Soldiers will jump onto the back end of the carriage so you either need to hit the back end of the carriage against a wall to scrape them off or swerve side to side violently when the reach the top.
Try to avoid the fire arrows as best as you can. Eventually you will jump off the carriage to fight some soldiers. I took the easy route and chucked a smoke-bomb at my feet when the got close and killed about 6 of them before they raised a weapon. After killing all soldiers, head to the marker to enter Venice. The trophy will unlock during the ensuing cutscene.
The name of this sequence is “Rocky Road”. This is story related and cannot be missed. Just complete each of the following memories highlighted by the icon on the map.
- Road Trip
- Romagna Holiday
- Tutti A Bordo
- Desmond's Training
This is story related and can't be missed. Below is a spoiler do not read it if you do not want to know about the DNA sequence.
This is probably the easiest and definitely the shortest DNA sequence in the game. You start off by speaking with Lorenzo Medici who gives you his cape as a token of his gratitude for saving him. Then you go to find Leonardo Da Vinci but you find he has left for a trip to Venice. On your way to Venice you see Leonardo and you both travel to Venice. After a chase scene with some guards you enter the docks right outside of Forli. You must save the woman that is trapped on the small island around the docks and get on the boat towards Venice. Once you get on the boat the DNA sequence ends.
After a carriage chase in the mountains, then a short journey on horseback through the Forli location to the ship, and having transported Caterina Sforza by boat, you will receive the achievement.
