So You Want a Shrunken Head, Eh? A Guide for the Discerning Assassin in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood
Let's face it, Ezio's life is glamorous. Leaping between buildings, charming the ladies (and occasionally the fellas), and generally swashbuckling his way through Renaissance Italy. But even the life of an Assassin gets a little dull sometimes. Maybe you're looking to spice up your trophy room, or perhaps you need a particularly unique conversation starter. Whatever the reason, you've set your sights on a shrunken head. But where on earth (or should we say, beneath it?) do you get one in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood?
Fear not, fellow collector of the macabre! This guide will have you swimming in shrunken heads faster than you can say "Requiescat in pace."

The Romulus Lairs: Shrunken Head Hunting Grounds
The first stop on your shrunken head safari is the Romulus Lairs. These underground labyrinths are crawling with enemies and puzzles, but they also hold the key to your gruesome goodies. Specifically, you'll want to conquer the Cloaca Maxima Lair.

Now, here's the tricky part: In this particular lair, you'll need to navigate your way to a large open area with a, well, let's just say a very impressive chandelier. (Don't get any ideas, Ezio). Head to the right of the staircase leading to the gate, and you should find a hidden tunnel. Bingo! A chest awaits you at the end, hopefully containing the shrunken head of your dreams (or nightmares).
Just a heads up (pun intended): The contents of these chests are randomized, so you might need to conquer the lair a few times before you snag your shrunken souvenir.

The Investment Gamble: Turning Money into Mini-Mummified Heads (Not Recommended by Financial Advisors)
Feeling lucky? You can also try your hand at investments. Head to any shop in the game and delve into the murky world of Renaissance finance (hopefully, your economics skills are sharper than your throwing knives). Be warned: This method involves a healthy dose of risk. While successful investments might net you a shrunken head, a bad call could leave you poorer and head-less (figuratively speaking).
Remember: High risk, high reward. Just don't come crying to me if you end up hawking your hidden blades to buy bread.
Tip: Focus on clarity, not speed.![]()
Beyond the Basics: Alternative Shrunken Head Acquisition Techniques (Unreliable and Possibly Dangerous)
Exhausted all other options? Well, there are a few other, shall we say, less conventional methods for acquiring shrunken heads. However, these come with a big ol' disclaimer: reader discretion is advised.
- Looting Bandits: These ruffians might have all sorts of unpleasant things on them, including the occasional shrunken head. Just make sure the risk of getting shanked outweighs the potential reward of a mini-skull.
- Assassin Recruit Missions: Send your recruits on special contracts. Who knows, maybe they'll stumble upon a secret shrunken head market in the back alleys of Rome? (Although, if they do, you might want to re-evaluate your training methods).
Remember, these methods are far from guaranteed, and could lead to more trouble than they're worth.

So there you have it! With a little patience, perseverance, and maybe a dash of recklessness, you'll be well on your way to becoming the proud owner of a shrunken head collection that would make even the Borgias jealous. Now go forth, Ezio, and decorate your Assassin HQ with the finest in... well, let's just say unique, conversation starters.
