Assassin's Creed 2 Walkthrough

Start leading Claudia and Maria through the canyon and you'll soon be interrupted with a cut scene. After the scene plays out, turn around and fight off the baddies that are attacking your female family members. The other enemies standing by your nemesis won't attack you, and you can't attack them anyway.

When you've defeated the baddies picking on your sister and mother, another cut scene takes over and leaves you with yet more enemies to cut down. Again, focus on defending your ladies as they're basically defenseless. Fight off the enemies and the mission ends.

Follow Mario into the villa and up the stairs that lead to the doorstop of his considerably-sized home. Here Mario stops and talks for a bit before sending you off to do some errands.

Run back into town and follow the map marker to the blacksmith. Open up the shop and use your money to buy a pair of greaves (armor) and a dagger (weapon). Just a bit further down the street is the doctor from whom you need to buy five medicine items. When all items are bought, the mission is ended.
