Save Game Report — Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood — Sequence 2
Step 1: Locate Your Save Game Folder
The location depends on your game launcher. Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood uses a combination of the Ubisoft Launcher and your platform's save directory.
-
For Steam Users:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher\savegames\[Your Uplay ID]\40\Note: The "40" folder corresponds to Brotherhood. If you don't see "40," look for a folder with a long string of numbers. -
For Ubisoft Connect (formerly Uplay) Users:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher\savegames\[Your Uplay ID]\ -
For Epic Games Store Users:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Epic Games\AssassinsCreedBrotherhood\save\or within the Ubisoft folder above (Epic still launches Ubisoft Connect). -
Non-DRM / Cracked Versions (Not Endorsed): Usually located in
Documents\Assassin's Creed Brotherhood\SaveGames\or%APPDATA%\The Creative Assembly\— Wait, that’s Total War. No. For ACB, stick to Ubisoft folders. assassin 39-s creed brotherhood save game sequence 2
Gameplay Shift: Wounded and On the Run
From a mechanical perspective, Sequence 2 is a masterclass in tutorial design disguised as high-stakes drama. When the player gains control of Ezio during the siege, he is wounded. The "Sync Bar" (health) is critically low and cannot regenerate fully. This forces the player to adopt a playstyle that contrasts sharply with the god-like power fantasy of the late game of Assassin’s Creed II.
The sequence forces the player to navigate the burning streets of Monteriggioni. It is a linear, high-tension segment that serves as an introduction to the improved combat system. The "Kill Streak" mechanic, which was the flagship combat addition in Brotherhood, is introduced here. The player is surrounded by Borgia soldiers, low on health, and must learn the rhythm of execution streaks—chaining one kill into another instantly—to survive.
This segment teaches the player that this is not the same Ezio from Florence. He is older, harsher, and efficiency is no longer an option; it is a survival requirement.
Step 2: Backup Your Original Saves
Before replacing anything, back up your existing folder. Right-click the savegames folder, select "Copy," and paste it to your desktop. This is crucial. If the downloaded save doesn't work, you can revert. Save Game Report — Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood —
Step-by-Step: Installing the Sequence 2 Save Game
Assuming you have downloaded a valid save file labeled "Sequence 2 Start" or "ACB_S2.sav," follow these steps:
- Close the Game: Ensure Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood is not running in the background.
- Navigate to the Directory: Use the paths above to find your save folder.
- Identify the Files: You will typically see two files:
1.save(Slot 1)1.save.metadata(A small header file)
- Replace the Files: Delete or move the existing
1.saveand1.save.metadata. Drop your downloaded Sequence 2 files into the folder. Rename them if necessary (e.g., if your downloaded file is calledsave.dat, rename it to1.save). - Disable Cloud Saves: This is critical. Go to either Steam or Ubisoft Connect settings and disable cloud synchronization for Brotherhood. Otherwise, the cloud will see a mismatch and redownload your old empty save over your new one.
- Launch the Game: Start Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood. Load "Slot 1."
Manual Alternative: Reaching Sequence 2 Fast (No Download)
If you are wary of downloading external files, you can rush to Sequence 2 in under 45 minutes. Here is the speedrun route:
- Skip all cutscenes (Hold
EorB). - Monteriggioni defense: Use the cannon immediately. Don't repair walls.
- Escape the villa: Hold high profile + legs; do not fight the guards. Run straight for the horse.
- Ride to Rome: The horse section is linear. Just follow the light.
- Sequence 2, Memory 1: Once you wake up in the Roman hideout, the game saves. You have officially reached Sequence 2.
Step 4: Paste the New Save
Copy the downloaded save file (usually named 1.save or 2.save) into the 40 folder. Overwrite the existing file if prompted.
Option 3: Can't find the exact save? Use Cheat Engine / Save Editor
If you’re on PC and have a save at any later sequence, you can edit the sequence flag: For Ubisoft Connect (formerly Uplay) Users: C:\Program Files
- Download ACB Save Editor (available on Nexus or GitHub).
- Open your save file → Set Sequence = 2, Memory = 0 or 1.
- Save and overwrite.
⚠️ This may reset some collectibles or side progress.
Manual method – reaching Sequence 2 without a downloaded save
If you prefer not to use external files:
- Start a new game.
- Complete Sequence 1 (approx. 6 memories, ending with the horseback escape from the Vatican).
- Complete the siege of Monteriggioni (this is the first memory of Sequence 2).
- Once you reach Rome and free the first Assassin recruit (Memory 2 of Sequence 2), you can save manually and keep that as your “Sequence 2 start” point.
