Edition covered
The original Brotherhood campaign and Rome activities. Ubisoft Steam pictures show the original PC release; The Ezio Collection visual changes and discontinued online services are outside this reference.
Remove the captain before the tower
A Borgia tower cannot be liberated by climbing alone. Identify and defeat its captain, then reach the tower’s ignition point; some captains attempt to escape if alerted.
| Step | What to do | If blocked |
|---|---|---|
| Scout the district | Locate the captain and patrols | Approach from a roof or quieter side |
| Defeat the captain | Stop him before he escapes | Return when another opportunity appears |
| Burn the tower | Climb to its ignition point | Confirm the captain objective is complete |
| Restore local shops | Purchase renovations | Check available florins and story access |
Renovate the newly freed district
Burning the tower unlocks nearby renovation opportunities. Restored shops provide services and contribute to Rome’s economy, so revisit a district after liberation rather than leaving every building closed.
| Location | Useful service | Reason to revisit |
|---|---|---|
| Bank | Withdraw accumulated income | Fund later renovations |
| Blacksmith | Weapons, armor and repairs | Maintain equipment between memories |
| Doctor | Medicine and treatment | Restock before combat-heavy missions |
| Tunnel entrance | Fast travel connection | Shorten travel across the city |
| Art merchant | Maps and paintings | Support collectible searches |
Collect money through the banks
Rome’s income accumulates in the bank system. Withdraw it regularly and reinvest in useful shops; money held by the bank is separate from the florins Ezio carries.
Use transport to shorten routine trips
Renovated tunnel entrances connect travel points around Rome. Combine viewpoint synchronization, tower liberation and nearby shop work in one circuit to avoid repeating long rides.
