==Achievements and trophies guide==
The achievements and trophies covered here are for ones requiring action outside of playing the game normally. Many achievements and trophies will be unlocked for completing a DNA Sequence or something else that is covered in the main [[../Walkthrough|walkthrough]]. Also not covered here are the self-explanatory ones like Art Connoisseur, which says to but a painting in Florence and Venice in the description. For the achievements and trophies received for completing and assassin's tomb, see the individual collection pages for guides on how to do so.
 
*'''<span id="A Piece of the Puzzle">A Piece of the Puzzle</span>''': This requires finding a glyph ''and'' deciphering it. See one of the city collection pages for where to find a glyph and how to solve its puzzle.
*'''<span id="Assassin For Hire">Assassin For Hire</span>''': Once you've saved Lorenzo di Medici, you'll unlock assassination contracts in the cities. These will be marked on your map and can be accessed at any of the pigeon coops in a city.
*'''<span id="Doctor">Doctor</span>''': You'll have to acquire the poisoned blade through playing the game, then select it with the weapon selector wheel. The easiest soldiers to perform this on are the ones standing around in pairs by the sides of buildings. Find one next to some crates or below a scaffolding, poison him, then climb the structure, select your hidden blades and press the attack button when your {{abbr|HUD|heads up display}} shows "Assassinate". An alternative is to poison a rooftop archer, then air assassinate him from a nearby chimney or higher roof.
*'''<span id="Fly Swatter">Fly Swatter</span>''': This achievement/trophy can only be completed during the sequence where you get to fly Leonardo's contraption through Venice. If you successfully land the glider at your destination without kicking a guard, you'll have to start a new game and get back to that mission to get the achievement or trophy. It's better to ditch the glider if you miss a guard on your way. To kick one of the rooftop archers, fly toward him, then lock on when you get within range and press the attack button as you fly into him.
*'''<span id="Handy Man">Handy Man</span>''': See the [[../Collection#Monteriggioni renovation|Monteriggioni renovation]] section for how to make an upgrade.
*'''<span id="High Dive">High Dive</span>''': The Campanile is located right next to the Santa Maria del Firoe, and you'll need to climb that structure to jump over to the Campanile. There's a viewpoint up there, so if you're synchronizing at all of them, you'll easily find it. Simply do a normal leap of faith from the top.
*'''<span id="In Memory of Petruccio">In Memory of Petruccio</span>''': The feathers are spread throughout the game in all the territories except the Mountains. For individual locations, see the city collection pages.
*'''<span id="Kleptomaniac">Kleptomaniac</span>''': Just walk around bumping into people while holding down the legs button. Beware that picking peoples' pockets will increase your notoriety, so you may want to wait until you've earned one of the capes.
*'''<span id="Macho Man">Macho Man</span>''': You earn this achievement/trophy for doing one of the beat up missions. After defending your sister's honor early in the game, these side-missions will be unlocked and you can find them on your map.
*'''<span id="Mailman">Mailman</span>''': Occasionally you'll see guys in berets and burgundy capes running around the city with a white target marker over their heads. Not to be confused with the pickpockets, who are marked with the red pickpocket icon on the map, these are couriers who will run from you, usually taking to the nearest rooftops. Chase them down and tackle them by pressing the unarmed button while running and you'll receive around 1,500 florins. Make sure you tackle them and don't assassinate them.
*'''<span id="Messer Sandman">Messer Sandman</span>''': First you have to unlock the sand throw by training with the weapons master in front of your villa. To perform the sand throw, hold the armed hand button down while unarmed and Ezio will scoop up some sand and throw it at his attackers. To get four at once, either sprint away from the enemies then quickly turn around and start scooping sand to throw when they get there, or use a smoke bomb to buy you time to scoop. Make sure if you're using the smoke bomb that you keep the button held until the enemies are no longer or stunned, or you won't be able to stun them again.
*'''<span id="Myth Maker">Myth Maker</span>''': See the [[../Monteriggioni#Statuettes|Monteriggioni]] collection page for details on finding the statuettes.
*'''<span id="No-hitter">No-hitter</span>''': This achievement/trophy needs to be performed either in a fight where no one will run away, or where you have all three smoke bombs. Normally when you have 10+ soldiers on you, they start running away after you kill four or five, and you can't earn the No-hitter unless you remain in combat the entire time. When using the smoke bombs, simply equip them through the weapon selector and use them one at a time, switching back to your hidden blades in between to take out the stunned guards. The smoke from one bomb will last long enough for you to kill three or four soldiers, or perhaps five if you get a double assassination.
