Ubisoft has brought back one of the most iconic looks in the Assassin’s Creed franchise: Ezio Auditore’s robes. Assassin’s Creed Shadows players now have the chance to unlock the legendary outfit, but it doesn’t come easy. Instead of simply buying it in the store, you’ll need to invest time in a new Animus Hub project. Here’s everything you need to know to earn Ezio’s outfit.
How to Get Ezio’s Robes in Assassin’s Creed Shadows
Ezio’s robes are tied to the Sanctuary Project, introduced with Title Update 1.1.1. This project is part of the Animus Hub, a feature that acts like a rotating set of mini battle passes. Each project provides rewards for completing weekly objectives, and Sanctuary is the first to include gear based on Assassin’s Creed II.
To get Ezio’s outfit, you must:
- Open the Animus Hub – Found in the main menu, this is where you can view and activate projects.
- Select the Sanctuary Project – Only one project can be active at a time, so make sure Sanctuary is selected before completing any objectives.
- Complete Anomalies – These are weekly missions that require tasks like eliminating specific targets, sabotaging supplies, or looting chests. Finishing them grants Data Fragments, the currency needed to progress through the project.
- Reach Required Levels –
- Level 13 unlocks Ezio’s Renaissance Hood.
- Level 21 unlocks the full Renaissance Robes.
Since each level requires 600 Data Fragments, you’ll need 7,800 fragments for the hood and 12,600 fragments for the robes.
Ezio Gear Stats and Perks
Once unlocked, the outfit isn’t just cosmetic — it offers solid stats and perks, making it worthwhile even outside of nostalgia value.
- Renaissance Hood (Level 47 gear)
- Health: 1121
- Critical Chance: 6.5%
- Adrenaline Gain: 32.5%
- Renaissance Robes (Level 47 gear)
- Health: 1466
- Critical Damage: 29.6%
- Vulnerable Damage: 24.6%
- Damage with Tools: 12.5%
- Perk: Hidden Hand activates after a kill with posture attacks.
- Extra Perk Slot: You can engrave an additional perk at the blacksmith.
These stats make the robes competitive with high-level armor sets, giving players both style and substance.
How the Project System Works
The Project system in Assassin’s Creed Shadows is designed to keep players engaged with weekly challenges. Each Project has a track of rewards, ranging from trinkets to pets, with Ezio’s robes being the highlight of Sanctuary.
Importantly, Projects don’t expire once introduced. You can take your time grinding Anomalies and gathering fragments, ensuring you don’t miss out on Ezio’s outfit even if you start late.
Other Rewards in the Sanctuary Project
While Ezio’s robes are the star, completing the Sanctuary Project also grants other Assassin’s Creed II-themed items, such as:
- A Firenze trinket for your hideout.
- A rooftop cat pet dressed in Assassin robes (yes, an Assassin cat).
- Additional cosmetics tied to Ezio’s legacy.
Quick Tips: Ezio outfit Assassin’s Creed Shadows
- Prioritize Sanctuary – Make sure it’s the active project before you run Anomalies.
- Plan the Grind – With thousands of Data Fragments needed, spread out your runs across weeks to avoid burnout.
- Use New Game Plus – Once unlocked, Ezio’s outfit is tied to your Ubisoft account and will carry across saves and DLC runs.
Unlocking Ezio’s robes in Assassin’s Creed Shadows is a grind, but it’s worth it for fans of the series. Ubisoft has managed to tie nostalgia to meaningful gameplay progression, letting you relive Ezio’s legacy while still engaging with Shadows’ systems. Whether you’re after the stats or the style, completing the Sanctuary Project should be on your to-do list. Play Now!
