I initially thought that assasins creed brotherhood will have a final conclusion to the assasins creed saga, and after seeing the end, i was totally thrown off the chair, seeing Lucy dead. Looks to me that there will be one more assasins creed game coming out in one or two years. Is the assasins creed saga heading for Dec 21, 2012 dooms day disaster.
If you are totally bemused by the twists and turns happened in assasins creed, lets analyse certain tricky statements in the assasins creed brotherhood ending….
Juno: A hundred years I might speak and still you would not know us. You with five senses. Us with six. The one we kept from you. To be safe. Now, you can never know. Only try. Grasp. You can SEE. SMELL. TASTE. TOUCH. HEAR. Knowledge has been blocked away
Your DNA communes with the Apple. You have activated it. On the 72nd day before the moment of awakening. You, birthed from our loins and the loins of our enemies. The end and the beginning, who we abhor and honor. The final journey commences. There is one who would accompany you through the gate. She lies not within our sight. The cross darkens the horizon.
The Path must be opened. You cannot escape your part in this. The scales shall be balanced. It is done. The way lies all before you. Only she remains to be found. Awaken the sixth. Go. ALONE!
What actually happened:
(i)Desmond stabs Lucy
On Oct 10, 2012, Desmond activates the apple of eden in colosseum with lucy, shaun and Rebeca. Juno (holographic god) takes control of Desmond through apple of Eden and he is forced to stab Lucy. Does that mean Lucy is a templar?
Juno says the ” cross darkens the horizon, the path must be opened”
(ii) Afer the game has ended:
and during the Credits running (incase you have missed), you hear 2 voices speaking….
“xxxx, he’s gone into shock.”
“Put him back in the machine, its the only way to fix this.”
“But the animus did this to him.”
“Am I the expert or not? Do it.”
The two voices seem to be masculine, but who are they? william or subject 16? Is there an animus within an animus, where possibly Desmonds son gone to a shock inside another animus or is this bleeding effect experienced by desmond (ie couldnt differentiate between the real world and in animus)!
(iii) The Truth:
The truth once decrypted shows this conversation where subject 16 (initially thought gone to insanity) left a message for Desmond who is subject 17.
Desmond: Subject 16?
Subject 16: Yes, Subject 17.
Desmond: You are dead. I saw your blood.
Subject 16: No time. It is far later than you know. Too late to save them.
Desmond: Who?
Subject 16: She is not who you think she is. Everything you hope to become, everything you hold dear, it’s already gone.
Desmond: Explain. Please.
Subject 16: Eden. She… in Eden. Find Eve. The Key. Her DNA.
Desmond: Tell me!
Subject 16: I cannot… The sun… Your son… Too weak… Must replenish energy…
Desmond: Don’t go.
Subject 16: I am with you till the end. Find me in the darkness.
Note that he explicitly mentions that:
She is not who you think she is. Everything you hope to become, everything you hold dear, it’s already gone.
By “She” he refers to Lucy or Juno, which iam not sure and is subject 16 indirectly referring to future with whats going to happen will happen and desmond cant control it. hmm! Just my thought.
and this line:
I cannot… The sun… Your son… Too weak… Must replenish energy…
The sun….must replenish energy —> means dooms day (world coming to an end) on Dec 21, 2012 when the sun will die.
Your son…too weak –> means Desmonds son is in animus?
(iv)In AC2 Minnerva speaks to Desmond through Ezio
In AC2 conclusion Minnerva (not Juno) addressed Ezio as Desmond ……which made Shaun shell shocked..
Minnerva said “the rest is up to you… Desmond,”
Notes:
1. Adam and Eve were known to show resistance to Apple of Eden mind control ability
2. Desmond is subject 17.
3. Subject 16 is not dead…atleast we dont know for sure
oh! keep in mind that at the end of the day its just a game with a interesting storyline.
