How to unlock the The Vault achievement in Assassin's Creed II - Definitive Guide
This is the final sequence. You will have to climb the outside of the Vatican and make your way across the rooftops. You can kill the guards or run past them, your choice. When you get to the area with the monks you can blend past a couple of guards.
Once inside the Vatican, you can creep your way so you are above Rodrigo. Pounce on him and begin your fight. It takes a long time to defeat him as he apparently has a lot to say. When you wound him enough he will severely wound you and disappear.
Follow him to the vault and fight him again using only your fists. Again this fight will take a little time because Rodrigo can never shut up. Beat him a second time and enter the secret room for a butt-load of cutscenes. Your trophy will pop after a few of them.
The name of this sequence is “Veni, Vidi, Vici”. This is story related and cannot be missed. Just complete each of the following memories highlighted by the icon on the map.
- X Marks the Spot
- In Bocca Al Lupo
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 DNA sequence will start off making you find the remaining Codex pages that you've not found. Don't worry though as they've all been marked on your map so you simply must travel to each city and look at your map to find the locations of them. Once you have all 30 codex pages return to your stronghold and put them on the wall with the rest of the pages. After a cutscene with your fellow assassins you must put the Codex pages in the correct order. Use your Eagle Vision and you will see blood on the Codex pages. Rotate the pages so that it makes a map of the world. Once the pages are rotated you will discover the location of the Staff of Eden. You will also learn that Rodrigo has become the Pope and you must kill him.
You will travel to Rome and infiltrate the Vatican. The Vatican is filled with guards so just continue to take them out and move on. You will eventually reach Rodrigo. Attempt to assassinate him. He will stop you from assassinating him and you must fight him. Just continue to hit him with your sword as all he really does is block. Once he has no health left watch the small cutscene. Once the cutscene is over chase down Rodrigo and you will have to fist fight him. Just continue to grab him and punch him and when you knock him down stand him back up and repeat. Do this until he is dead. Once you kill him you will go over to the Staff of Eden and watch as the tomb opens. Once it opens you will get the trophy.
