Assassin's Creed II - a sequence break and glitches in Visitazione's Secret
You can mostly skip the chase sequence in this assassin tomb. First, after the second collapsing gate, coax the Templar runner to run ahead of you into the stairwell. Backtrack a bit under the bridge that will collapse and leap jump up to it. Then do another jump "through the bridge" at a slight angle and grasp to your right - Ezio should catch the edge of the bridge and thus he can get to the higher floor early, way before the Templar runner finds his way there. Now you can easily kill the Templar at this early stretch of the chase, and then savewarp to the door that leads to the second part of the tomb. I'm not sure how much time it saves.
Other things you can do by getting to the higher floor early? Well, you can go examine the door to the next area, which of course isn't active yet. You can go check out the other guards in the area who at this point lack A.I. and respond very poorly to your presence. They are immune to attacks at first, but you can air tackle them off their chairs and then assassinate them. I wanted to see what would happen if I killed off the Templar runner's allies, then let the runner reach them and alarm them to Ezio's presence, but this plan failed because the collapsing bridge collapsed too early and prevented the runner's passage, so he got stuck in the level.
In the second part of the tomb, I tried to break into the inner chamber, with no success. But I found some interesting invisible ledges around the place, allowing Ezio to get stuck on the "roof" of the tomb or get to the chamber's door early. I also attempted to activate the first hanging switch early, but nothing happened.
