Below you will find Assassin's Creed 2 cheats. Cheats typically create an advantage beyond normal gameplay, usually to make the game easier.
Assassin’s Creed 2 Unlockables/Cheats
Easy kills
Once you unlock the smoke bomb, you can use it to kill guards quicker and easier. Equip the smoke bomb, then throw it. As the soldiers are coughing, you can kill them quickly and easily with your hidden blade.
Defeating Archers
Normally, Archers do not present a big threat, but you will find them concentrated in some areas. If you are in a fight and there are also archers shooting at you, try to get away from the fight and run towards the archer(s). This will make them drop their bow and draw their sword. You can also position the soldiers in the archer's line of fire so that they get hit and wounded instead of you.
Defeating Brutes
Brutes are the large armored soldiers with two-handed weapons, like axes and claymores. To kill Brutes, first disarm them. Once you take their weapons away from them, it is easy to kill them. Trying to reverse their moves will just result in you getting hurt if you have a weapon ready.
Defeating Seekers
Seekers are soldiers with spears. To kill Seekers quickly, grab them first, then grapple them.
Defeating groups of enemies
When fighting a large group of enemies, constantly move around so that they do not surround you and attack from more than one side at a go. Keep your guard up, and wait for one of them to attack, then counter it. If there are Brutes or Seekers in the group, try avoiding them at first and focus on the other enemies.
Defeating harder enemies
Note: You can only do this after learning the Disarm move. There are times when you will encounter the big "Golden Knights" or men who fight better than normal soldiers, and usually have unique weapons such as lances or big axes. They are also able to deflect attacks and counter more often. To defeat them easily, press Down to disarm yourself and put your weapon away. When they attack, press X to counter and disarm them. Then, quickly press X again to kill the unarmed man.
Auditore Cape
Collect 100 feathers in the box in your villa, then talk to your mother to get the Auditore Cape.
Condottiero War Hammer
Collect 50 feathers in the box in your villa to unlock the Condottiero War Hammer, which can be purchased for 30,600 Florins at the blacksmith's shop at Villa Monteriggioni.
Finding feathers
Feathers are located along the main quest areas of the game, unlike the flags in the original Assassin's Creed, which were randomly located throughout the world. To find the hidden feathers easily, run across rooftops, where birds spend the most time losing them. Use Eagle Vision to see feathers in a white glitch type of graphic.
Easy medicines and throwing knives
Pick-pocket people and loot bodies to get free medicines and throwing knives.
Reusing axes and spears
If you lose an axe or spear inside an enemy as you counter him, just pick up his corpse, and drop it to be able to collect that weapon again and reuse it.
Using horses
The horses in the game can be very useful for other things apart from travel. Ride them into a potential fight and dismount. Lure an enemy to the rear of the horse, and it will kick them, causing a good amount of damage. After you dismount them, it will be easy to relocate them since they will follow you until you enter a city.
Extra abilities
Successfully complete the tasks indicated below to unlock the corresponding ability:
Climb Leap: Successfully complete Rosa's "Monkey See, Monkey Do" mission in Sequence 7. With this ability, you will be able to make longer jumps as you climb, and reach much higher hand holds.
Disarm: Successfully complete Mario's "Evasive Maneuvers" mission in Sequence 5. With this ability, you will be able to counter incoming attacks from weapons that are normally too heavy to counter, for example, an axe.
Shop renovations
Renovate any of the five shops located in the Villa to increase the Villa's value and get special discounts. There are three renovation levels for each shop. Below are listed how much it costs for the three renovation levels for each shop (the doctor and blacksmith are available at the start of the game):
Ant Merchant - 1,000; 5,000; 8,000 Florins
Bank - 1,500; 5,000; 9,000 Florins
Blacksmith - First renovation already available, 7,000; 12,000 Florins
Doctor - First renovation already available, 3,000; 5,000 Florins
Tailor - 1,000; 2,500; 5,000 Florins
Mario series reference
At the beginning of Sequence 3, while you are escorting Maria and Claudia to the Villa, you will get ambushed by Pazzi and his men, and your Uncle Mario will rescue you. When you first talk to him, he will say "Don't you recognize me? Its-a me, Mario!"
Easy "Fly Swatter" achievement
Hold LT to lock on to a target and press X while in front of them to kick them. Note: You must perform this during the Flying Machine mission to get the "Fly Swatter" achievement.
Easy "Kleptomaniac" achievement
Find a herald to reduce your notoriety, and bribe him at a cost 500 Florins. Then, immediately pickpocket him to get the 500 Florins back, plus 3 to 5 extra Florins. Repeat this one more time with the same or different herald to get the "Kleptomaniac" achievement.
Go to Florence, and find a large group of people that are walking towards you. Hold A while walking through the group of oncoming people, and you should pickpocket most of them within a few seconds. Since A also serves as the "fast-walk" command, you can get Florins quickly from people if you hold it continuously. Repeat this trick as many times as necessary to get the "Kleptomaniac" achievement.
Easy "No-hitter" achievement
Unlock the Smoke Bomb, then buy three more of the same. Go and start a fight with some guards, and lure additional guards if necessary so that they number at least ten. Throw a Smoke Bomb, and kill as many guards as possible with your hidden blade. Once the Smoke Bomb's effect wears off, throw another one. Repeat this until you get the "No-hitter" achievement.
