All Locations: Assassins Creed Brotherhood Guide

Locations in Assassins Creed Brotherhood encompass every significant structure, landmark, and point of interest scattered across Renaissance Rome. These markers guide players through the city’s most important sites, from towering Borgia strongholds to hidden underground passages that shape Ezio’s journey through the Eternal City.
The Assassins Creed Brotherhood Interactive Map filters all location types into one comprehensive view, letting you plan efficient routes between viewpoints, faction headquarters, and secret lairs. Whether you’re liberating districts or hunting down Templar treasures, having every location marked eliminates guesswork and reduces backtracking across Rome’s sprawling districts.
What Locations Are Used For
Locations serve as Rome’s structural backbone, providing navigation points, story progression hubs, and access to Brotherhood’s core systems. Each location type unlocks different aspects of Ezio’s campaign to restore Assassin influence.
- Reveal map areas and provide fast-travel points through Viewpoints
- Access faction missions and recruitment opportunities
- Liberate districts by destroying Borgia Towers and influence
- Discover hidden treasures and equipment through secret passages
- Complete Romulus Lairs for powerful Armor of Brutus pieces
Locations Types
Rome’s locations span eight distinct categories, each serving specific gameplay functions from navigation to combat progression. Understanding these marker types helps prioritize your exploration route through the city’s districts.
Viewpoint
Tall structures that Ezio climbs to survey surrounding areas and unlock map sections. These synchronization points also serve as fast-travel destinations once activated. Viewpoints typically sit atop churches, towers, and prominent buildings throughout Rome’s districts.
Landmark
Notable historical buildings and monuments that provide context to Renaissance Rome’s layout. While not interactive, landmarks help with navigation and add historical depth to your exploration. These include famous structures like the Colosseum and Pantheon.
Templar Lair
Hidden underground locations containing Templar agents and valuable loot chests. These lairs often require solving platforming puzzles or combat encounters to reach treasure rooms. Each lair typically rewards substantial florins and rare items.
Borgia Tower
Fortified Templar strongholds that must be destroyed to liberate Rome’s districts. Each tower requires eliminating the captain before burning the structure down. Destroying Borgia Towers opens new shops and reduces Templar influence in the area.
Aqueduct
Ancient Roman water systems that provide elevated pathways across the city. These structures offer alternative routes for stealth approaches and often connect to other important locations. Some aqueducts hide treasure chests along their spans.
Tunnel
Underground passages connecting different areas of Rome, often bypassing heavily guarded surface routes. Tunnels frequently contain treasure chests and provide strategic positioning for missions. These passages become crucial for stealthy movement through hostile districts.
Lair of Romulus
Six specialized underground complexes containing elaborate platforming challenges and combat trials. Completing each lair rewards one piece of the legendary Armor of Brutus. These locations represent Brotherhood’s most challenging optional content.
Faction
Headquarters for Rome’s criminal organizations including thieves, courtesans, and mercenaries. These locations provide faction-specific missions and recruitment opportunities. Faction buildings also serve as safe houses and shops for specialized equipment.
How to Use the Map Efficiently
Rome’s size demands strategic location prioritization to avoid excessive travel time between distant districts. Planning routes around fast-travel points and district boundaries maximizes exploration efficiency.
- Prioritize Viewpoints first to unlock fast-travel and reveal nearby locations
- Clear Borgia Towers early to open shops and reduce guard presence
- Group location types by district to minimize travel between areas
- Use aqueducts and tunnels for faster movement between surface locations
- Save Romulus Lairs for mid-game when you have better equipment
- Visit faction headquarters regularly to check for new missions and recruits
