Rumor: Assassin's Creed 2 Achievements and Trophies surface discreetly

by Griffin McElroy { Oct 25th 2009 at 11:30AM }

Once again, we've bitten the bullet of plotline spoilification for you lot, and measured the believability of two recently released lists of Achievements and Trophies for Assassin's Creed 2. Our initial impression is that they seem legit -- but they also contain references to a number of plot points and gameplay mechanics you may want to remain in the dark about until you get behind the wheel of Ezio Auditore Da Firenze.

Check out the rumored list of Achievements and Trophies after the jump. We'll contact Ubisoft to see if we can confirm their authenticity.

Hmmm....
this one sounds like a lot of fun:
"Stun 4 guards at once by throwing sand in their face"

Autobot @ Oct 25th 2009 12:05PM

The only thing that could make this better is if you could kill guards by stoning.

SpyderTaco (PSN: Ar4chNova89) @ Oct 25th 2009 2:59PM

BATMAN DID IT

carterk88 @ Oct 25th 2009 11:42AM

I know there isn't any online play for this game but looking at the trophy list makes me smile. The more games that don't involve days (or even weeks) of online play to get the platinum the better.

jahd5000 @ Oct 25th 2009 6:14PM

I SOOO AGREE!! and im not even a trophy hunter!

koehler83 @ Oct 25th 2009 11:46AM

Can't wait.

Obie @ Oct 25th 2009 1:22PM

Thank god no more flag collecting!

freaparn @ Oct 25th 2009 2:30PM

@Obie

Well, not exactly. The feathers (100 to collect) are the new flags. Everything else is pretty reasonably designed and achievable over the course of the game.

devilsei @ Oct 26th 2009 5:28PM

frea, its still a hell of a lot better than AC1's several "collect 100+ flags from this zone" achieves :P

Sly @ Oct 25th 2009 11:49AM

buying paintings? whoa.

Platy @ Oct 25th 2009 1:02PM

Interesting .... specialy thinking that he was riend with da vinci ... maybe he can buy a real davinci from a very low price ? xD

nighttime @ Oct 25th 2009 12:00PM

Street Cleaner - Hide 5 dead bodies in a Bale of Hay

"The village horse, Glue Factory, is wanted for the murder of five guards. Any information leading to the arrest/execution of Glue Factory will be met with a handsome reward!"

Autobot (Now with Vitamin D)! @ Oct 25th 2009 2:38PM

Macho Man - Defend a woman's honor. (Bronze, 10G)

Never in my life time would I do this.

Special Agent Steve @ Oct 25th 2009 4:31PM

Are you saying you rape every woman you meet?

Autobot (Now with Vitamin D)! @ Oct 25th 2009 5:16PM

Women are good in one place:

Face up, in bed.

You can see the official achievements list here.

fabian @ Oct 25th 2009 12:03PM

seems like a game that gets you platinum with one playthrough and not too much weaving off the main storyline

chililili @ Oct 25th 2009 12:16PM

And when will we get the damn trophy portal update?

Bubbameister33 (Confused by Fanboyism) @ Oct 25th 2009 12:25PM

I hope there aren't 400 feathers just lying around for that achievement.

Durden @ Oct 25th 2009 12:26PM

I don't really get why achievement leaks are that big of a deal???

2nd Lieutenant Gunther (PSN: helghast102) @ Oct 25th 2009 12:31PM

because they tell you alot about the game?

Tep @ Oct 25th 2009 12:31PM

Just to let you know the ending (or atleast a part of it) is ruined in the achivements, just a warning...

shadowhowl1900 @ Oct 25th 2009 12:33PM

"Hallowed be thy name"
isnt that a WoW hallow's end meta-achievement?

The Dark Wayne [Planeteer: Power of the Batusi] @ Oct 25th 2009 12:47PM

it's also a song by Iron Maiden, but then it's also something people have said for hundreds of years

LegendaryRedass @ Oct 25th 2009 1:11PM

An awesome song by Iron Maiden.

Keith @ Oct 25th 2009 12:33PM

The trophy list is real, I've seen it with my own eyes comparing trophies with someone :)

THIS IS NOT A RUMOR. :D

tmacairjordan87 @ Oct 25th 2009 12:42PM

Pretty good achievement list, doesn't look like it will be too tough to get 1000/1000 and it looks like it will be fun to get it too. Kinda like Borderlands, pretty easy to get 1000/1000 but it's fun as well.

DrunkRaba @ Oct 25th 2009 12:44PM

Handy Man Bronze Trophy
Upgrade a building in the Stronghold.

So we will be doing some building improvements? Crazy.

Sly @ Oct 25th 2009 3:22PM

i guess that's where your paintings go too.

ragetek @ Oct 25th 2009 12:59PM

the gameloft mobile (java) version of ac2 is also out. the game itself isn't anything great, but its a spoilerific way of finding out the story of ezio! :P
MW2 and AC2 in november! Good thing i upgraded to a Core i5 pc!!

Churchy @ Oct 25th 2009 1:28PM

The header image for this post looks A LOT like a less cel shaded PoP.

MaliceMajorE15 @ Oct 25th 2009 1:29PM

one of the first trophies is break out of abstergo. i like this because it means we'll be doing a lot more with desmond. probably stealth levels

kooda @ Oct 25th 2009 1:32PM

some of these achievements make it sound kinda like the brent weeks night angel trilogy. anyway im looking forward to this game

Preston @ Oct 25th 2009 1:49PM

So it looks like there really won't be any stupid flag hunting achievements this time. Yay.

Platy @ Oct 25th 2009 2:09PM

In Memory of Petruccio - Collect all the Feathers. (Bronze, 30G)

I would not be that happy if i were you =P

Preston @ Oct 25th 2009 3:25PM

@Platy: I can ignore one collection achievement far more easily than 20.

Parker @ Oct 25th 2009 1:58PM

I'm a member at source for the PS3 trophy list (PS3Trophies.org), and I know for a fact that the site is very strict about the lists they publish. They will only post the lists if they:A) Are provided with a PlayStation.com link to the trophy listB) Have the admin add someone to PSN with the game (To verify the list)C) Recieve/Request the list from the Developer/Publisher.These are 100% Legit. PS3Trophies.org FTW.

Special Agent Steve @ Oct 25th 2009 4:31PM

Cool?

Jack Tretton @ Oct 25th 2009 6:21PM

"We'll contact Ubisoft to see if we can confirm their authenticity."

Yeah, do that. I'm going to subscribe to your RSS feed so I'm not sitting here pressing F5 every ten minutes.

1251 @ Oct 25th 2009 8:17PM

such a spoiler :(

how the hell if escaping abstergo the first fucking one listed!?

Babel @ Oct 26th 2009 5:52AM

Escaping Abstergo is pretty much the first thing that happens in the game, I think. So it'd be first on the Achievement list.

Ben @ Oct 25th 2009 9:14PM

I dunno... The values seem completely off. Isn't the very first mission when you enter the Animus 2.0? Why would that be worth a silver trophy when collecting all the feathers seems to only give a bronze trophy (which happens to be the same value of trophy given for simply sprinting 100 metres)? It seems a bit off, if you ask me. Of course, people mention that they've seen the lists in person, which seems to suggest that the trophies will be as easy to get as the Prince of Persia ones were...

freaparn @ Oct 25th 2009 9:42PM

The feathers achievement is worth less simply because Patrice Désilets dislikes achievements/trophies for the sake of achievements/trophies. Hence the flags in the first game and the feathers in this game. He's essentially thumbing his nose at people who require inane, lengthy, collection tasks in order to be satisfied with their game purchase.

Akashic @ Oct 25th 2009 9:42PM

Blargh, why is the world so brown in that pic? It feels like i'm in the dry middle east again :(

Also "Victory lies in preparation - Get all Hidden Blades, Item Pouches and Armor upgrades for Ezio. (Bronze, 10G)"

What other assassins are we playing as?

Chairman Hurf [Planeteer | Power of Politically Correct Comedic Relief] @ Oct 25th 2009 11:11PM

DESMOND FIGHTS BACK

Raffi @ Oct 26th 2009 6:18AM

The sequel is looking a lot better than the first game where the gameplay was very repetitive.
