PDF download Download Article

Assassin’s Creed II is often regarded as one of the best entries in the series—and with good reason! With a rich story and plenty to do, there’s a lot to enjoy about the game. Still, not every side-quest is easy; Ezio’s mission to track down 100 feathers is commendable (it’s for his brother, after all) but can get confusing and tiring quickly! Luckily, we have all the info you’ll need to complete it. Read on for an overview of each feather location so you can nab them fast and get back to enjoying your game!

  1. Technically, there are 103 feathers to find in Assassin’s Creed 2 —because the first 3 are part of a quest in Memory 07, Sequence 01. As Ezio, you’ll be tasked with finding feathers for his little brother, Petruccio. Simply find them on your in-game map (since they’ll all be marked) and retrieve each feather. [1]
    • They’ll all be on rooftops, so start climbing as soon as you see a feather on your map!
    • All other feathers must be found yourself—so look below to see where they are.
