It's time to
storm the palazzo and take out Emilio. The thieves have got your back and they
have a plan. Ezio's first task is to take out the archers so the thieves can
replace them. Also stock up on throwing knives if you're low.

Your targets are already marked on the map. Head over there and you'll find all
the archers on the rooftops, obviously. Antonio said quietly, but discretion
isn't important here. If you want to be stealthy though, each archer stands
on a little platform. You can sneak up on them and hang there to do a ledge
assassination on each. Any approach will work, even if you just run up to them
and attack, or grab them and push them for a more hilarious method.

Once they're down, meet with Antonio, Rosa and Ugo. There's a guard across from
them but you can hide in the haystack to take him out.

After that chat, it's off to do the dirty work. Ugo recommends hiring some
thieves to help out so do so on your way to the palazzo. Enter the grounds from
the west or south side. One might be unguarded if you're lucky. Use your
thieves on the guys guarding the entrance and if possible, on the ones near the
front door.

You can't enter that way so once you have cleared the guards, start climbing
the west wall. Make your way up here and use Climb Leap to help you along.

When you get up to the roof, you will see a scene of Emilio. There are plenty
of archers up here and more enemies below. If you have enough throwing knives,
this can enable you to get closer to Emilio for the stealthy assassination.
You have limited time here too; if Emilio leaves on his boat you'll have to
start over.

If you don't have the throwing knives necessary, you will likely be given away
on your way down. Being spotted by the archers isn't bad. Being spotted by
some of the other enemies below will alert everyone, except Emilio. So if this
happens, climb all the way down and run toward him to kill him before he gets
away. If you're quick, he won't get much farther than a step or two.

After that, approach the door with Rosa for another scene. This ends Sequence
7.
