Assassin's Creed II: Silent Worship and Using the Papal Staff

[T3Roblox]

2:16 monks oblation run

[reido66]

THERE IS NO CROWD

[jose2090]

what the....why there no one there ??? O_o

[ianxofour]

@jose2090 keep watching the video to see how i set this up

[ViktorMADDKirov]

(apuire for good)

[ViktorMADDKirov]

how do you get/aquire the papal staff???????????

[ianxofour]

@MrJJimbo no, the papal staff does not break.

[thegreathero92]

Ezio: Requiescat in Pace you bastard.

Rodrigo: I don't think so. *Reaches for staff* Oh...... shit.

[dude018219293]

I would have looted his body haha and I woulda thrown money at the cardinals and see if they go MONEY MONEY MONEY!

[jererulz]

because you wouldn't notice a white robbed man killing your guards while the cardinals run in circles......

NRGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH fucking plane eat a dick

[rprx]

I thought I was the first to come up with this. Too bad you beat me it, still kudos to you bro.

[lotsoffunification1]

he saw you, but didn't attack you

[ianxofour]

@lotsoffunification1 in terms of game mechanics, he can only see out to 15 meters. the brutes are all farther away than that.

[lotsoffunification1]

wow, you killed all the guards, and the pope doesn't still see you

?

[BloodStainedPeach]

I guess the cardinals got bored of Borgia's speech so they ran

[Varyalover]

Damn statanist cults!

[spinnigold]

Bleghh, the Papal Staffs makes the most disgusting crunchy noise when you kill people with it XD

[RTR9]

Yo is this Sistine Chapel in assasians Creed? If so where is it located?

Yo è questa Cappella Sistina in assasians Creed? Se sì dove si trova?

[Legendthehedgehog]

What happens when you loot him?

[ianxofour]

@Legendthehedgehog you get a few florins. search for "non-story assassination borgia" to see a clip.

[shadowcoaster]

isn't that piece of eden 25?

[4321Hayate]

i guess it was break time for the monks because they have been standing for hours

[PurpleHayezzz420]

lol look at your health n ur on that level nube

[ianxofour]

@PurpleHayezzz420 on the contrary... i made specific efforts to minimize my health in effort to make the game slightly more challenging. you cant take off armor in ac2, so i never buy any or repair it.

[Ariakas333]

@ianxofour I do that too, it gives more challenge to the game and I much prefer Ezio WITHOUT any armor...

[ComicMan9]

@ianxofour You can equip really bad armor

[ianxofour]

@ComicMan9 but you cant equip no armor. 

[ComicMan9]

@ianxofour oh ya

[spindleneedle]

@PurpleHayezzz420 haha whos the nub now

[shaddowgame]

Loot the pope!

[MrComano]

can u keep the papal staff?

[ianxofour]

@MrComano nope. the game story cant progress this way. you can have to desync and then redo the assassination the normal way.

[1wacked]

@MrComano no

[culto14]

Can you counter the Brutes using the Papal Staff?

[ianxofour]

@culto14 not really. if you are detected, the mission ends. you might be able to pull off a counter if the brute attacks immediately after detecting you, but the mission would still end.

[Bertelis5]

Why isn't Borgia noticing you killing them? is he that stupid?

[hallowedXreaper]

you do realise that you didn't have to spend half an hour killing the guards right?

[hallowedXreaper]

you do realise that you didn't have to spend half an hour killing the guards right?

[ThatOneGuyYouSaw15]

i reached the dude from the cieling: interesting enough, i could have shot him instead of useing the hidden blade

[hello3281]

lol i got the staff an easier way. i just killed him as normal and stuff then when he goes and u have to find the secret passage i just saw it lying in the corner

[ianxofour]

was there anyone left in the room to use the staff on?

[hello3281]

nope :(

[InikaDude105]

Hey, Ian, can you PLZ make a vid on how to record game vids? Cuz everytime I try it turns out crappy.

[ianxofour]

hi. what setup do you have for recording?

[Sk8ordieknarlysk8er]

Hey Ian, how'd you like the ending of this game? And what is your guess of what the next game will bring?

[ianxofour]

just like ac1, i though the ending was abrupt and left a lot of loose ends. some ppl call this "suspenseful" but i would rather have closure along with a teaser about the next in the series.

ive got no idea what ac3 will be like. i just hope they fix more than they break next time. (lack of replay is wearing me out)

[Sk8ordieknarlysk8er]

Ah I feel your pain on the lack of replay Ian. Yeah, but the next game will be the end of the sequel, so HOPEFULLY it'll be longer then this game. It'll most likely be released in 2012 seeing how it lines up nice with the "story."

[Sk8ordieknarlysk8er]

Hey after all, play the game in November right before the world ends in December! Lol

[joeyfogey55]

i got the staff my second try today and also signed up at thehiddenblade. :)

[ianxofour]

awesome! you should introduce urself on the forums. theres one even called "introduce yourself" :)

[joeyfogey55]

haha, makes sense.

so i've been looking up dvd recorders. most of them seem to range from $120 to $300. i just want one that works well enough for youtube. :P

[ianxofour]

try ebay. my guess is that u can get a decent one for less than $80

[joeyfogey55]

ah, ebay. always a loophole of cheap prices. ok, i'll take a look sometime this week.

[fIvndy]

@ianxofour dang, you got him to repeat the creed. The creed isn't short, so this must have taken a long time lol

[joeyfogey55]

i always get to the last couple of guards and some slight mistake always seems to get me spotted. i'm so close!!! lol

[ianxofour]

im glad to hear that you are trying! good luck!

[fogdog90]

well hey, that's my goal right now: being able to qualify to be in the hidden blade crew. i need a capture card anyway. any suggestions on the best type?

[joeyfogey55]

ok, that "fogdog90" comment just posted was my brother's. he was still logged in. haha. anyway, just reply to THIS comment, not that one.

[ianxofour]

whats ur budget?  you can get a basic dazzle for pretty cheap. dvd recorders cost around $60. if you want rly nice hd capture you can get a hauppaugge pvr, which is about $200.

are you a member on thehiddenblade?

[joeyfogey55]

it's a pretty tight budget, but i can do anything under $200 if i have to.

i've heard dazzle is pretty good. some of my friends use that.

i might look up a dvd recorder, because i didn't know you could use one of those for a gaming platform.

no, i haven't become a member of hiddenblade yet, but i will when i know i'm up to par with guys like u, stabguy, etc. i'm actually excellent when i'm free roaming in or out of a mission.

[ianxofour]

i use a dvd recorder... mainly so that i dont have to keep a computer next to the tv.

well dont be shy about signing up at thehiddenblade. we enjoy the company of enthusiastic players like urself. cant wait to see ur vids!

[joeyfogey55]

yeah i guess that makes sense using the dvd recorder.

ok, if u insist. haha. i'm curremtly unemployed, but will get a job soon, so i'll start investing money into a recorder.

[orestesdd]

how do you start with an empty chapel? I just did this part and the chapel was so crowded that I can barely got to kill the pope.

[ianxofour]

pls watch more of the video.

[ianxofour]

i forgot to mention that you should also read the article. pls find the link in the video description.  if you have any problems, pls feel free to shoot me a pm. thx for watching!

[ElreniaGreenleaf]

You are an actual genius, you know that?

[DarkAlphabetZoup]

Holy shit... you really did it. You are the man. If I could give you money for this, I would. Jesus Christ...

[lucusdaman]

hey man all your videos are amazing and i just cant find words to explain it. wow.

and what armor did you have broken?it didnt look like you had any armor on.

[T041993]

@lucusdaman the game forces you to buy leather boots

[ianxofour]

thx! thats right. i just have leather greaves, which are required by the game. you can see that i rty try to play with minimal health, so i didnt repair them.

[lebltherebel226]

Ian, you're a beast. 'Nuff said. 5/5 and wouldn't that be sweet if the Papal Staff did something cooler when you used it?

[ianxofour]

oh definitely. but im just glad it does something!

[0096luke]

You never stop amazing me. 5/5

[sbredflag]

5:14 was close, lol.

[Tighearnan2468]

In the Killing with the Papal Staff part...

How were you not Notorious?

:o

And you had 5 poisons aswell I think...

You are incredible

[ianxofour]

sharp eye! thx for the comment.

on my first series of attempts, i wanted to be prepared in case of a tough challenge. i upgraded my poison pouches, got some better weapons, etc. i then played thru rome trying not to kill anyone that i didnt have to - just in case a lower notoriety would help. it turns out none of it mattered :)

[ABlindMessiah]

Where is Jacopo!

[JakeBakesSnakeCakes]

Haha silly game developers! Never thinking that someone would poison the guy!
