In Memory of Petruccio Achievement in Assassin's Creed II

  • In Memory of Petruccio

     

    30

    Collect all the Feathers.

     
  • How to unlock In Memory of Petruccio

    You can unlock this as early as DNA Sequence 11. Following the memory ‘Petruccio’s Secret’ in DNA Sequence 1, you are able to start gathering feathers, one of the collectibles in this game.

    There are 100 feathers dispersed throughout the five cities. Some are in plain sight and some are hidden, but they are really not difficult to obtain. Using your Eagle Vision (hold ) allows you to see the feathers better as they glow white like treasure chests and glyphs. Once you’ve collected your 100th feather, the achievement will unlock.

    Number of feathers in each city:
    - Florence – 27
    - Monteriggioni – 4
    - Tuscany/San Gimignano – 11
    - Romagna/Forli – 12
    - Venice – 46

    To see how many feathers you’ve gathered in each city, pause the game and select ‘DNA’. From there, use to move down the strand until you reach ‘Feathers’. Press to further open that strand. Move through the different cities to see how many feathers you’ve collected in each. For Florence and Venice, press again and it will break down how many feathers you have collected in each district. Unfortunately, there is no in-game map of the feather locations.

  • This one was a douche to get
  • yeah
  • lol ive got loads to go yet :(
  • Hey, does anyone know a link to a feathers map, this one is doing my head in!!!
  • Go to www.nextgenwalkthroughs.com and select the feathers and glyph guide under AC2.
  • You'll notice that the Romagna-Forli section is incomplete but you can try this vid instead: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7N9PIYTBTY
  • is this even possible ?
  • damn...I've currently got about 30 hours of game play with ACII and I've got 30 feathers :'(
  • 26, this one is a load of bull frikin horse shit
  • This achievement personifies all that is wrong with collectible achievements. I prefer ones like "Guns Guns Guns" in BC2 where it's only half the total in the game, and spread all around at random. Collectible achievements are the absolute worst kind of achievement.
  • Go to: http://www.thehiddenblade.com/feathers It has all the maps showing locations for all Statuette's, Feathers, and glyphs.Very detailed map with pictures included. Basically the equivalent to the first Assassin's Creed flag/templar site: http://assassinscreed-maps.com/Maps.htm MAJOR TIP If you have found all but one feather, you can look up where the last feather is, look up where it is in the pause menu. If I remember correctly, it's in the DNA section but don't quote me on that one.
  • I got through the game having 92% of the feathers found by myself. Well chuft, but got abit lost on the few stragglers so moved on to a guide, naturally =] Still a beast of an effort.
  • So it seems im not the only one having trouble with this one...
  • http://guides.ign.com/guides/14302493/page_59.html
  • The best way to get this achievement is not trying to get the feathers before you beat the game
  • I wanna get the achievement before i beat the game so i dont have to worry about it ever again!
  • this one is pretty hard but if u just follow some guides and dodnt get distracted it shouldent be a problem
  • Not that hard if you have a guide just time consuming and very boring.
  • I don't understand why everyone thinks this one is so hard to get. It's really easy if you use a map online. It's just time consuming.
  • totally agree ^ ^ ^
  • this was my hardest achivement 2 get
  • ive had this game beat for a few weeks now and i only have like 23 feathers i think. but i found this website that some anonyomous person left on this. http://www.thehiddenblade.com/feathers use it. i went to it and it goes into massive detail. it tells you every city and even zooms in on the location of the feather to see whats around it. its pretty kick ass if you ask me. just saying, good luck. BTW, the bird is the word, just thought youd like to know lol Ga'dueces
  • effort!
  • Took awhile but worth all them 30 points =D
  • I hate collectables
  • It is impossible to get them without cheating, they don't think about that, I think this spoil the game
  • Well it is impossible to get them all with out searching some sort of Feather map online
  • I've got to re-start the game since I have one left but I looked in all locations twice and still didn't find it. :(
  • The collecting on this game is a breeze compared to the disgusting amount of flags you had to get on AC1.
  • yeah very very true
  • Venice Takes FOREVER... I'm about 45% through this last city.. So shoot me, I used a map and checklist.
  • got 5 more to find and have no idea where they are. Have to go through all the feather locations again -.-
  • In the DNA section of the pause menu there is a section containing info on the feathers location. It is not specific it is just the town or city; How many feathers you've collected in that area and how many feathers are actually in that town/city. It's incredibly helpful if you only have a few left to find & don't know where they are.
  • @Zander Soulwind dont restart. Use the DNA section to view were you are missing feathers, than use a guide to find the areas you need to look
  • you guys re wusses. i havnt used a walkthrough and i have only 18 left
  • Damnit i only need 1 more. i cant find it
  • At 63 and calling it a night
  • it was hell when i was getting this, but Assassins creed 1 is even harder on the hidden stuff.
  • ty for help
  • this one was by far the hardest to get. it took me forever but i have 100% this game. the only game lol. look on ign to see feather guides. thats what i did. hope this helps:)
  • 3 days and i got it!
  • This is a big improvement on the flag achievements from the first game, but without maps showing me where they were I don't think I would of bothered going for this cheevo.
  • Easy, but boring
  • I'm using http://www.mlwgames.com/assassinscreed2/ There's checklist, video for every flag/glyph and it's accessible from mobile devices.
  • I found the last feather by luck but at least i got this crap out of the way now
  • This achievement is long as hell but use a map and get i in less than 1 hour
  • i need map
  • takes some time but i think in other games are more annoying achievements maps : http://www.thehiddenblade.com/feathers
  • shoot me now
  • I have 91 feathers collected. And I can't remember where last ones are. So map with feathers located wont help :(
  • #52 use the map to locate all, you will find the remaining ones! that was my very last achv, got it in 1 hour!
  • I enjoyed that achievement
  • so annoying to find all of the feathers
  • I have 96% feathers and I can't stand that F#$^ game anymore! I'm so over it...next
  • I just used eagle vision, it makes them far easier to spot since they stay white. I never used a online source and got it in 1 day! :D
  • just been using a map and checking off as i naturally go through the game and pass certain places. About 50% of the way through this one, but still only 45% through the game, it can be enjoyable when mixed in with normal gameplay
  • urgh this one is sooo annoying fml. still doing it cos im bored.... and ac2 is awesome :D
  • Thankfully in the DNA menu, it'll tell you where the last feather is...even which district. The worst part about that is, the strategy guide doesn't show the last feather location.
  • this is gay, its just like the "flying rats" in gta IV
  • This is haed and only a little reward of 30g
  • Great game, rubbish achievement. What a grind!
  • As much as I loved this game and got o 98% there is no way Im going after the feathers I have 57 and thats enough for me,48 out of 50 achievments is good enough!!!!
  • 1.5 years later.. I found the courage to do it, but all thanks to : http://www.thehiddenblade.com/feathers
  • I hate these kinds of achievements. Such a pain!
  • In Memory of Petruccio: Video - ( http://youtu.be/0_5Ac83u19Y )
  • This is a huge breath of fresh air compared to the insane amount of flags in AC1! This is just 2 or so days work and then done :)It's not nearly as boring as the flags as there aren't as many, plus the environment in my opinion is a lot more nicer to look at in the process. Just this and the cape achievement and I'm to go onto Brotherhood! ^__^
  • free ms points - http://www.mspointscodes.com/?i=626256
  • I'm so getting this game again just for this achievement xD..... just kidding. Looking forward to play this game again :) and hopefully i will get 1000g in it but this achievement seems very time confusing...
  • I simply hate this achievement
  • they should have them posted on the map like the treasure chest lol =P
  • I love the game, but this achievement is the worst :(
  • Finally, finished. Stupid bloody achievement.
  • GREAT 99/100 this is bad, where is the last one, if they want us to find them they should help us out
  • Nothing Compares to AC1 those hunting Achievments sucked
  • this one was a pain in the butt it was fun getting all 100 feathers tho
  • This is a pain in the arse.
  • dudes, i really don't understand you...this one is very easy...like 100 collectibles compared to 420 in AC1...and plus not collecting any feathers and using a guide every time u unlock a new area makes this easy to track and complete.
  • i spent about 20 hours for this achivement :S
  • I find it easier to do it city by city, as when you go into the menu you can see how many feathers you have left in each district. Easier to organise. Also marked maps are easy to find, just google search it! SO all in all, you just need to have some patience and commitment :)
  • damn that took ages i used this guide http://www.gamesradar.com/assassins-creed-ii-feathers-and-treasure-chests-guide/?page=1
  • This achievements soul purpose is to delay people from 100% the game in the first week they have it. This achievement isn't hard, it just takes a LONG time. This game is probably the easiest game to 100% the achievements for it.
  • Im just gonna progress through the game and wait til im near the end to see how many I have left then get the rest like that.
  • i'm at 79/100 feathers right now will have the rest in a day or to or next time i play
  • If you wanna cheat, just look up maps. If you don't wanna cheat, I say go to lots of high places and use Eagle Vision. Also, look around the edges of a city near water.
  • this one was a bitch of achievement to get
  • is there a map u can buy at the art shops? if so how many feathers do u have to collect b4 unlockin it(like in acr with the data fragments for the desmond missions)
  • was so glad to see only 100 collectibles after recently completing the first assassin's creed!!
  • Definitely not as hard as AC1 with all the flags which was a real drag. These aren't too tricky to spot and it's not that difficult really.
  • This was deff a lot easier than the collectibles from the first Assassin's, but still fairly annoying. Best advice is to just stick to a guide and be very careful as to which you have and still need, the last thing you want to do is have to backtrack for a feather.
  • This is a lot harder than finding the Data Fragments in Revelations, I only have 62 feathers due to there being no in-game map showing where they are. I suppose I'll have to use an online guide...
  • Thumbs up if you were one of the people having 99/100 Flags in The Kingdom. :) These Feathers are nothing compared to that.
  • @#93 your right this was like taaking candy from a baby compared to the flags
  • HELP: Go to DNA in pause menu, then to feathers, it will tell you where the remaining feathers lie.
  • haha i got a total of 99 feathers and i can't find the last one
  • Until you're ready to track them all down, refrain from collecting any prior. You'll need a guide and it's easiest to go step-by-step.

  • How the heck am I meant to get feather 1 on florence (ign numbering)?!?!? I can see it right in front of me, but it's about 50 feet up, and I can't find ANYTHING to help me climb up!
  • AHA! ...Never thought of wall jumping... Never mind! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uuwU8-DzLOI
  • Failed doing this like 2 months ago, but I finally did it when I decided to beat the story a third time the next month.
  • @100 thanks for that link- that's exactly what I came here looking for
  • Just 2 more to complete and i can't find them!
  • love this game but seriously this is to much
  • It boggles my mind that folks struggle with this when there are awesome guides all over the place to follow. Also, if you use your "DNA" info in the pause menu, you can see how many feathers you have found in each city, which helps you track down the ones you are missing. It's SUPER easy to do. Not easy without a guide though. That would be rough.
  • @Bgrngod Agree!! :) @all Guys this achievement is not that tough if you follow good guides. Finally completed this one and it's 50/50 achievements for me too! Awesome game!
  • yea its not tough but it is time consuming
  • Oh lovely. My favorite type of achievement. OTL
  • such a tedious and annoying achievement =(
  • WTF... I've missed one feather in a district... And I can't find him anywhere... 9 locations, 0 feathers... Weared...
  • I found these without a map,because i didnt have a computer until now!!!! >.
  • It pains me to have 960 on this game..truly. one day I'll get it.
  • I was stuck on my last feather. Finally got it. Now I have all the achievements. :D
  • I recommend going through the entire game and avoiding feathers, until all viewpoints and locations are unlocked. Then use a guide and follow verbatim and it's simple.
  • this is way too much effort
  • #114 has it right. (Personally, I did collect any feathers I happened to come across on my way to missions, viewpoints, etc). The guide listed below got me through this achievement, as well as the Myth Maker achievement. It can also be used to find glyphs for the Vitruvian Man achievement. You can mark off any collectibles you find, and you can even click the icons on the maps for videos showing where each one is, if you can't find it yourself after searching the area or (in the case of the feathers) if you want to confirm whether or not you already got it. There are even links to answers for the glyphs (in the videos showing their locations) if you need them! http://achievementhunter.com/games/guides/ac2/
  • I hate these kind of achievements, it's just a waste of time
  • I got AC2 like 3 years ago and I just came back to 100% it. I had to collect over 45 of those stupid feathers using the Achievement Hunter maps. They are really your best bet on finding all of those feathers. Also use the DNA thing to see how many feathers you have left in an area.
  • I got AC2 about 3 years ago and I just came back to complete it. I had to collect those feathers to get a cape that alerts guards immediately. Use the Achievement Hunter Feather Maps if you are having trouble. Thats how I completed AC2.
  • This was the 2nd or 3rd to last achievement i had to get and was really annoying to get, I just wanted to 100% the game.
  • I have no problem with collectible achievements. It was some poor schlup's job to create the grass, rocks, and trees in this game while others were programming fight mechanics. If they create an achievement which forces us to experience every corner of this game...I figure looking at how well this guy did his work is the least I could do.
  • This achievement and 2 others glitched on me. Collected all 100 feathers and no achievement. Any advice?
  • I've already beat the game so won't some areas be inaccessible to me or am I being stupid?
  • If oyu just keep looking around when you are on rooftops etc you will find loads as you play through. I got about 60 doing this.
  • Working on it as I go through the game. Much better than the 420 total flags the first game made you find.
  • Very annoying achievement to get
  • OMG Very annoying achievement to get agree with you Ben...
  • Just when you have a guide and it looks like you have found them all..... but ones missing and you don't know where you missed xD Thats the worse I wished this achievement was worth more than it is
  • Missing a one bloody feather...now I have to go back and comb through all the locations...
  • You don't have to go through all the locations if you have a look it tells you how many you have in each district
  • Come on only TWO more
  • I might never get any of the flag achievements, but I'll do this one for the picture... and Petruccio.
  • http://maps.achievementhunter.com/guides/overview/assassinscreed2 Have fun!
  • So hard to get but I'm so proud of it
  • One of the easier ways to do this is to get on top of the viewpoints or higher buildings and turn on eagle vision.
  • This achievement pissed me off so much it took me about 15 hours to collect them all and when i was done the achievement didn't pop
  • Finally after leaving it for 3 years now I got the lot.
  • this was so damn hard, i remember starting like 3 years ago and collecting at least 30 feathers. then when i was looking to get the achievement i was so lost
  • My old Xbox broke, close to getting all feathers... Now to play the game again. Have to admit I am amped
  • i went and got all but literally two now i have to go back and somehow find them
  • The feathers aren't worth it as they didn't give an in-game map (but maps for non-achievement treasure!). If you try you'll have collected some but not know if you've got them or not and be left clueless like old GTA packages! The game doesn't deserve 100% completion as I've never said, "f-ing clunky f-ing sh-t!" during gameplay this much since Saints Row 3! Great story - TERRIBLE clunky controls!
  • Not worth it
  • Hate this achievement.
  • Not as hard as it sounds.
  • Not as bad as the thousands of flags the first one had, also developers really need to add in-game counters when having a shit-load of collectibles. Seriously, if they broke down the map in areas and having each area say "X of Y collectibles found in this area" then i'd bother looking for them without a guide because missing a single one and not knowing where is annoying
  • *more developers Didn't proof-read that post last night, second paragraph was meant for other games.
  • This was a pain to get, took me a while. Annoyed the living daylights out of me aswell >.
  • Recomendo não pegar nenhuma durante as missões do modo História, depois que concluir o jogo pegue o mapa e pegue uma a uma, é muito mais fácil!
  • And as for the in-game reward for collecting said feathers, what a kick in the teeth.
  • Obnoxious but still better than the flags in AC1, especially the King Richard ones.
