Well Begun Is Half Done was a virtual representation of one of Ezio Auditore's genetic memories, relived by Desmond Miles in 2012 through the Animus.
Description[]
After planning with Antonio de Magianis to eliminate a few groups of guards so the thieves could construct bonfires for the Flying Machine, Ezio Auditore went off to four different locations in Venice. The first was near a bridge with two Brutes. Another pair of Brutes were stationed on a ship. After he killed two more brutes near the Palazzo Ducale itself, he then finished off a small group of guards on rooftops. With the guards eliminated, Ezio returned to the Venice Thieve's Guild to finish preparations.
Dialogue[]
Ezio began to clear out the areas designated for bonfires. While clearing out an area on a ship, he overheard two brutes talking.
- Brute 1: This is ridiculous! Vincenzo was supposed to take my shift an hour ago. My wife is going to murder me if I miss dinner again.
- Brute 2: E che ti frega? (Why should you give a shit?) Just go. It's not like we're guarding the Doge.
- Brute 1: What the hell are we guarding anyway?
- Brute 2: A shipment from China. Some kind of colored powder they brought over for a big party - really expensive! You ask me, the way these nobles spend their money...
Ezio assassinated the two guards and proceeded to clear out the other areas.
Outcome[]
Ezio killed several groups of guards around Venice that were preventing the thieves from setting up bonfires for the Flying Machine.
