Question about the last assassination SPOILERS

I finished the game 4 days ago and I can't stop thinking about a little detail. While you're fighting for a while and then the video starts, Borgia manages to get the apple from Ezio and controls his movements. He rises him and stubs him, right??? I was shocked at that point, thinking that Ezio can't die before he had a child. But anyway, when the pope runs away, Ezio gets back on his feet and goes to fight him once again. So my question is, (unless my eyes fooled me) did Borgia stub Ezio? If that's the case, why was he still alright, and able to fight? It kinda seemed to me like a killing blow.

He did stab him. But he didn't kill him.

Yeah, Ezio's a whole lotta man.

Tell that to Billy Batts.

Well, I don't know about you, but by the time Borgia stabbed Ezio, he still had a good 10 or 12 doses of medicine, so it would've been surprising to me if he had died. I mean, he'd taken axe hits to the face and just used that medicine and it was all better. So a dagger to the gut wouldn't have been anything.

heh, but still. I remember Altair took a similar blow at the begining of the first game and was supposedly dead, before al'mualim told him that it was a "trick". I know that he takes axes and polearms in the face but you'd expect that the videos would be more "realistic". Anyway, thanks for clearing that up.

He was stabbed and didn't die. That's pretty realistic. You don't always did from that.

funny he was stabbed just like some other religious person...

Like strawberries and cream
It's the only way to be =P

He has Altair's Armor on. Dummy.

Or at least, he should have if you played it right.

Actually he doesn't. Altair's armor is not in the main story, so you can skip that part. I did 4 of the "dungeons" but I was too close in beating the game so I decided to leave the other 2 after I killed the last boss. A lot of people didn't get the armor until the end, so it doesn't go without saying.

That's not true. You're flat out told, when introduced to the area with his armor and the locks, that Desmond will not reach true sync with Ezio unless he gets the armor.

He doesn't die when he gets stabbed because of the apple.

Well, I finished it without getting the armor.

He doesn't die when he gets stabbed because of the apple.

No. Borgia takes the apple from him, uses the staff to float him over the ground and then stabs him. He didn't have the apple at that time.
