Scenario:
Percy is transported back to Ezio’s era in venice by the gods, Eizo knows he is being folowed but not by who.
Percy has the clothes to match the times, and neither, knows the other by face, only clothes and name.
Can he track and kill him, or will Ezio take him down first?
I never saw the movie, so im gonna have to say Ezio, even though i totally hated the games. Percy Jackson won’t even see him coming. He’ll be walking, then a knife plunges deep into his spine. Ezio pulls it away and the blade rips through his lungs on the way out.
Percy is the superior combatant so I’d give him the win. Ezio(or Altair for that matter) aren’t what I would call stealth experts. They’re simply very good at blending with the crowd but by themselves they stick out like sore thumbs. Besides that fact he doesn’t stand a chance against the son of Poseiden who has control over water, superior strength and speed, and a plethora of magic tools.
@Eric:
You hated the games? Why? They’re excellent, and the second didn’t have all those repetitiveness issues that many hated about the first. What is bad enough about AC2 to deserve being downright hated?
As for the match, my money is on Ezio. I never looked into any media concerning Jackson, but I’ve come to understand that he has both magic, water manipulation and superhuman physical attributes, but I never heard of him being particulary good at finding people. So if Ezio knows he’s hunted, and he knows the outfit Percy uses, he should be able to use his superior knowledge of the surroundings to at least stay hidden. I don’t know if he is capable of actually getting rid of the pursuer, though, unless his weapons can actually kill this guy who is a superhuman of sorts.
@Wakomanchan
They are SO repetitive. It is the same stuff over and over again. Yeah, the stories are good, but the gameplay is boring. You stab some guy in the back with a hidden blade. Next kill, hidden blade in the back. You assassinate someone else with, let me guess, hidden blade in the back? Correct!
Percy Jackson is an odd character on FactPile because his weapons can’t harm most combatants, but he is almost invulnerable. I’ll give a short recap for those who don’t know who he is.
Perseus Jackson is the demi-god Son of Poseidon in the book series “Percy Jackson and the Olympians”. Most people only know him from the recent movie adaption of the first book. I really didn’t like the movie adaption, it butchered the books and wasn’t nearly as entertaining as them. Kind of like the Eragon movie, just not as bad.
Anyway, Percy has a variety of water related powers, such as, being able to breathe underwater, come out of the water without getting wet, getting a huge boost in strength and reflexes when in water (ocean water works best, but fresh water will work), communication with aquatic animals and horses (Poseidon created them out of sea foam), and can manipulate water in various ways. Some notable feats would be raising an entire creek out of it’s bed, and in the last book, Percy summoned an actual hurricane to aid him in his battle with Hyperion, the Titan of Light.
Percy is also a master swordsman, killing numerous greek monsters such as hellhounds, hydras, giants, the minotaur (twice), Medusa, and besting the Hyperion, Atlas, Ares, and stalemating Kronos.
His sword, Anuklos, is his largest weakness in this match. It is a 3-foot celestial bronze sword that transforms as a pen when not in use. If ever Percy is disarmed, then the sword will return to his pocket in pen form after a minute or two. Unfortunately, Riptide cannot harm mortals. It can slice through objects (ropes, bricks, bridges) but cannot harm mortals, meaning Ezio is safe from Riptide.
Percy has superhuman strength (he was able to brake off the minotaurs horn) and is nearly invulnerable. In the last book, Percy took a swim in the River Styx just like Achilles, and became invulnerable except for a small point in the small of his back, just like Achilles. He literally has an Achilles heel, which is stabbed in any manner will make him die instantly.
All in all, I give the advantage to Perseus, since the city of Venice is covered in canals filled with water. Unless Ezio stabs him right in his weak point on his first try, Percy can hunt him down.
No brainer Percy wins.
@Eric Gigliotti
they aren’t that repetitive yes stabbing the back is the most common kill however you don’t expect Ezio to start giving people hugs. he can slice their neck beat them up with their own weapons,their are so many other things you can do.
Percy’s ONLY weakpoint is a point the size of his bellybuton on his back, I dont think ezio can hit it on the first try which would leave him to a beating of godly proportions. Most likely ending in the drowning of ezio.
Ezio does have other tactics then just sneaking up, and stabbing. If it didn’t work the first time he still has three smoke bombss to do it again, and another fifteen bottles of poison. Which he can purchase mor of each item. This fight could take awhile, but in the end, i believe Ezio would have it do to more knowledge of the area, more stealth, and combat skill, etc…. It would maybe even take a couple of days, but he could pull it offj.
one main factor is,are their crowds of people in the battlefield? or is it empty.because Percy would not harm innocent civilians.
@Cjrodarte
you have a really good point there. It could prove greatly to Ezio’s advantage if there were people in the crowd.
Admin are there people in the crowd of the battlefield, or is it empty?
Normal venice has people dosent it?
There is no way percy just couldnt beat ezio or drown him using the vast amounts of water there.
give proof of how percy would find ezio, before ezio found him? My proof that ezio would find first would be he knows the area well, and is an assassin so he has to know how to locate somebody.
“give proof of how percy would find ezio, before ezio found him?”
DOnt need to, Ezio will come running, oh look, you just said that.
Dosent change the fact that thanks to the curse of the styx percey has indistructable skin, and weapons “magically” avoid him, AND his already high reflexes have been boosted to let him deflect bullets. Plus, he can make and ride water spouts to folow Ezio.
“They are SO repetitive. It is the same stuff over and over again. Yeah, the stories are good, but the gameplay is boring. You stab some guy in the back with a hidden blade. Next kill, hidden blade in the back. You assassinate someone else with, let me guess, hidden blade in the back? Correct!”
Really? You didn’t notice the rest of the game? Too bad. Fighting, free-running, side missions epic main assassination missions, weapon stores, poison, pick-pocketing, nifty climbing and Assassin Tombs make for a great experience. And don’t even try the repetitive argument. AC2 is no more repetitive than any shooter, action game or 3rd person free-roamer out there. You can choose to assassinate your way through, but in that case you’ll flee a lot and will be unable to complete several missions. It would also mean that you would actively try to do only one trick, seldom fun in any game.
The info on Jackson has now made it official, Ezio stand no chance in a fight with him, at all. I still think he could hide just about forever, though, but I guess that doesn’t count?
who thought of this one sided ordeal…Ezio vs a Demi-god? why not go all out and pit him against zeus or hades or the Kraken.
I though ezio, like altiar had some mystical apple…..
no I think the pope had one.
Yeah, the Apple of Eden. Used to think of it as a standard thingy after the game, but I eventually dropped the idea. Anyway, that Apple allows mind control to some degree, but didn’t work on the creators, who were a race humanity saw as the Greek gods. Somehow, I think Jackson could resist that pretty handily.
Oh, and the Pope didn’t have the Apple, he had the Papal Staff, another Piece of Eden with a lot of the same effects. Speaking of which, Ezio retrieved it after the game.
How does said staff work?
Well, I don’t remember, you should consult the Assassin’s Creed wiki. Anyway, since a normal race different from humanity, believed to be gods, stayed immune, I say it’s a safe bet that the real gods of Greece would be down. As far as I remember, the Pieces were made to be used exclusively on humans anyway.
Demigods are half human as wel las half God, it might work, however if it does, a splash of water remideis the situation.
Ezio would find him with his Eagle eyes ability but I dont know anythig about Percy
@Hitman
(off-Topic)
I dared myself to join the Forum…………So I did are you and others still Continuing the Admin Vs Factpile Zombies “Thread”??
(on-Topic)
Ezio because i can definitly see a knife in percys back before Percy uses his L33t Water skills
Then the blade would shatter on Percy’s back and Percy would backhand Ezio’s head off.
Well, let’s assume this is AC3, giving Ezio plot armor.
There, Jackson is chanceless.
That was a joke right?
“Then the blade would shatter on Percy’s back and Percy would backhand Ezio’s head off.”
Ok i retract my Statement and Arguement You win
lol Percy has invulnerable skin from taking a dip in the River Styx. Except for a spot the size of a belly button on his back.
This match was honestly really stupid. Make a match more even than this. It’s just like putting….. mario vs dante or something.
lol, Ezio got beat by a guy named Percy.
Actually Mario would have a decent chance in defeating Dante. He has some pretty powerful items at his finger tips.
Yeah I was thinking that was a bad example.
Way back OriginalA brought up a bunch of crap Mario has, like some pants or something that make him pretty much invincible and some time watch as well.
Admin, do Mario vs. Dante.
Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, Percy for the Fp award?
Nnnnnnnn being that he is the son of Poseidon I do have to give Percy the advantage. Ezio on the other hand will have to put up a good fight though.
Ezio does now control two items that basically give him god-like powers, i think he deserves some credit. However, given that this is Venice, the whole water-control thing leads me to give it to Percy. Move it to Rome and its a different story.
Okay before I say anything will someone explain to me who the HECK is Ezio?! And how to say his name. I’m a Percy expert so no need on explaining him. And people LAY OFF on his name. Seriously! Thanks
Hello, i have just noticed this,
And i know a few months late but hey i wanna have my say
First of all For those that no about The AC universe, will know that Percy cannot be an all powerful immortal, why? well because the Gods are just another mortal race that came before us also mortal humans.
Ok so down to to the winner…… Ezio Auditore de Firenze
Why? Ok lets assuem there is a way that Percy keeps his God like powers, Instead of dieing like all the other came before people. Ezio has two objects, these two objects the Staff and teh apple. First of teh apple, this not only is a mind control to the humans(for when the ones who cam ebefore were in charge) it would allow Ezio to create clones of himself, Thus alredy giving Percy a problem. Teh apple can also teleport a person, AC fans remember Al Mualin?. The staff did some Kinetic push force thing. Ok so both Percy and Ezio now have God liek abilities, making them near enough equal footing. Next AC fans i am dissappointed, do the assassin’s no longer research their target? Of course they do!! so Ezio can now lear about this area teh size of a belly button that is teh only way to kill Percy but also knows where it is. So now we ARE equal footing.
Next Ezio, is a stealth expert (do not say different, this is his proffession, to blend with the crowd, to be seen but unseen) And added to this he has 9( the most number of clones used by an AC character so far) clones lookign for Percy so including the orignial, that is 10 Ezio’s( Oh how could i forget Ezio can even recall the ‘Gods’ and others, killed by Percy, Again AC fans think Al Mualim) So I am sorry Percy but Your God like use of water is not a match to Ezio’s use of the staff and apple.
So…Ezio now knows the weak spot, has the powers, has 9 clones out as well as himself, plus any number of the persons killed by Percy, Plus Ezio has his stealth, A blade hidden on his wrist.
So 10 Ezio’s look to locate their target, knowing there is a weak spot popping the Blade into it, and EZIO WINS, flawless victory
@Vespasian
You are wrong on so many levels it hurts to describe it. My advice is to back out while you can and leave this match in peace.
“First of all For those that no about The AC universe, will know that Percy cannot be an all powerful immortal, why?”
Let me stop you right there….First of all, nowhere does it say that Percy is in the animus…He is literally in Ezio’s time and has access to all his powers.
I will paste something I posted on another thread:
“Also here are some reasons why Percy takes this:
Children of the “big three” (Zeus, Poseidon, or Hades) are more powerful than demigods of the other Greek gods and goddesses. Hence, Percy has a wide range of abilities.
* Percy is a naturally talented swordsman, often able to hold his own against larger, stronger, and more experienced opponents.
* Percy possesses incredible physical strength. He tore a horn off the head of the Minotaur (because of the rain making him stronger, see hydrokinetic abilities point one), and was able to bear the weight of the sky, the curse of Atlas, and was able to strangle a snake with his bare hands.This is rather strange, because Hercules, the son of Zeus did the latter two of these deeds, however, Percy is the son of Poseidon.
* In The Last Olympian, Percy bathes in the River Styx (like Achilles), making him nearly invulnerable except in one weak point (the small of his back) and also granting him increased skill, strength, and puts him into a frenzy in battle.
*Percy can summon localized hurricanes and other storms, complete with lightning and wind, as his father is the god of storms. It is unclear if Percy can manipulate the wind and lightning into offensive attacks”
And one more thing, Vespasian. Think before you spout nonsense
I’m sorry Vespisain but that was stupid. Not only is Perceus a demigod(read: not human) but mind control and the like have been shatered with but a splash of water. Not to mention glowing people stand out in the crowd, I don’t see how glowing Ezio’s are going to play stealth, regardless of the fact that Ezio has only made around 4 clones. Furthermore, we have never seen Ezio use the apple in such a way, you need to prove that he can.
Random NPC’s will just know that Percy has a weak point, or even know his name for that matter.
/Facepalm’d
I’ve still yet to see how Percy can’t drown Ezio.
people who put emoticons in their posts when they debate are usually wrong.
It seems people have well and truely beat me, My personal view is that Ezio will win due to the (and ok i didnt think it through properly) ‘Possible’ uses that he can do with the apple, it is true he hasn’t doen them himself, but those things have been done, just by other apple holders and staff holders, (the scene didnt not say that he hadn’t learnt these powers.
but fair enough, it has not been proven he can utillies these powers it offers
By the God thing i didnt suggest he is not a god, demi god etc, i merely suggested he might becoem bound to the ‘Gods of the AC world, as the Scene doesnt say he does keep his powers, so open to debate i guess.
For the Chap who spoke about the animus, that has nothign to do with it teh animus is just a window basically to view the past lives, and so has no effect on eagle vision and what not. Oh and Exio wouldnt glow, his target will glow red, with only Ezio able to see it.
But out voted so you know just clearing up the few things you guys obv didn’t research.
p.s. the drowning thing IF Ezio HAD taken the full strength of the apple, then he could use its kinesis to stop Percy in his tracks. But hey not putting up an argument just putting up some stuff I didn’t clarify and a few mistakes by you guys.
NOT ARGUEING SO PLEASE DON’T start all the ass kicking again thanks
@Vespasian
“For the Chap who spoke about the animus, that has nothign to do with it teh animus is just a window basically to view the past lives”
I wa under the impression that you meant Percy had used the animus in some way. Still, I think it would be unfair to gimp Percy and yet give Ezio the supposed full powers of the apple.
Aye very true,
I wounder though what would happen if all powers, apple and Demi-God
And invunerable powers, stealth kills, Eagle vision etc was put in a box and thrown away, just Ezio and Percy in a one sword (no other weapon) all action sword fighting battle,
No super strength and all that no weak spot, hmm, that would be interesting, so everything basically nulled, and two master swordsman head to head…
” (the scene didnt not say that he hadn’t learnt these powers. ”
If he had the apple’s knowledge he wouldnt have been so suprised to find the staff to be a piece of eden, and would have known of its abilities and the like.
“By the God thing i didnt suggest he is not a god, demi god etc, i merely suggested he might becoem bound to the ‘Gods of the AC world, as the Scene doesnt say he does keep his powers, so open to debate i guess.”
Factpile Rules, you might wanna check them out.
“But out voted so you know just clearing up the few things you guys obv didn’t research. ”
That doesn’t matter, if you can prove it, then you’re right.
“No super strength and all that no weak spot, hmm, that would be interesting, so everything basically nulled, and two master swordsman head to head…”
Depends, percy beat the god of war in a duel.
“p.s. the drowning thing IF Ezio HAD taken the full strength of the apple, then he could use its kinesis to stop Percy in his tracks. But hey not putting up an argument just putting up some stuff I didn’t clarify and a few mistakes by you guys.”
Still need to prove that he can overpower the son of the sea god.
“Still need to prove that he can overpower the son of the sea god.”
Or something equivalent from AC-universe
Hey how de we propose matches? I’d like to try something like ezio vs artemis entreri before his soulstealing sword charon
It seems like one big stalemate until further notice.
In any case, i may as well go and request a match-up for Lloyd Irving from Tales of Symphonia against Perseus Jackson, the latter-day son of Poseidon.
Good thing i know where the battle request page is, now i have to guess out the circumstances for such a face-off to occur.
Given that Ezio no longer is in possession of the “apple” I’d say he no longer has any viable means of causing harm to Percy. Unless Percy is vulnerable to poison. But judging from the comments above, even using his poison dart gun Ezio has no way of delivering it….. I’m necro-posting aren’t I?
Percy no longer has the curse of Achilles, ( as of the son of neptune) so no more invulnerability, that considered, I think its an even match, in Venice though Percy could use water to his advantage. But if you thing about it ezio has godly lineage too because he is related to those who came before and they were the Greek and roman gods
“Percy no longer has the curse of Achilles, ( as of the son of neptune) so no more invulnerability,”
So would a bullet to the back of the skull work?
“they were the Greek and roman gods”
Being known as and being the thing are two completely different things. I recall the one supposed to be Athene saying that they went by many names. Like I said, It’s different
“But if you thing about it ezio has godly lineage too because he is related to those who came before and they were the Greek and roman gods”
The only thing he got from them was Eagle vision. It’d be useful for finding percy before percy spot him but thats it. Also being in Venice doesn’t that mean Ezio can go to tailors and change his outfit?
Regarding Post 55. I was correct in my assessment. They were KNOWN to the people as Gods but they were not so. Matter fact the Novel uses the same word Athena/Minerva utters to Ezio
Percy being the better fighter would win if it came to a actual fight but if ezio managed to notice PJ then percy dies NOOOOOO!
do you know how much it pained me to say thet, I am sorry rick so, so sorry
P.S After SoN (Son of Neptune) came out, the latest incarnation is without curse of achilles but this is a moot point as when this was posted he did have achilles’ curse
“Ok lets assuem there is a way that Percy keeps his God like powers, Instead of dieing like all the other came before people” The percy jackson books are set in modern times and the scenario is that the gods were all powerful IMMORTALS!!! that had kids and P.J is one of them so percy is MODERN and didn;’t come before us, also his powers do not run out, he has them because of his father POSEIDON, not because of anything else. also, if the gods were not gods and they all died then percy jackson could not even exist so therefore for this match the apple of eden could not exist as they did not rule the earth, you just got pwnd biotch coz U suk
“Percy Jackson is an odd character on FactPile because his weapons can’t harm most combatants,”
But Ezio doesn’t know that, Percy takes a fake hostage and threatens them with Riptide unless Ezio throws him all of his weapons, now Percy has a sword that can do some damage to mortals, Ezio is owned and I am awesome. ;D
tigeronyx@ *But Ezio doesn’t know that, Percy takes a fake hostage and threatens them with Riptide unless Ezio throws him all of his weapons, now Percy has a sword that can do some damage to mortals, Ezio is owned and I am awesome.*
–
first off no you are not
–
second off percy jackson would not do anything of the sort like what you just said. he is a good kid.
–
third off ezio is technically not all mortal. he is in his own universe a demigod. that is why he is able to use the apple without it harming himself and is able to use eagle vision. meaning that riptide will cut through him. ( this is just so its fair)
–
Darth destro@ Percy has a variety of water related powers, such as, being able to breathe underwater, come out of the water without getting wet, getting a huge boost in strength and reflexes when in water (ocean water works best, but fresh water will work), communication with aquatic animals and horses (Poseidon created them out of sea foam), and can manipulate water in various ways. Some notable feats would be raising an entire creek out of it’s bed, and in the last book, Percy summoned an actual hurricane to aid him in his battle with Hyperion, the Titan of Light.
–
you forgot that he could also call upon his father’s most powerful ability (in my opinion) which is to create earthquakes, which was seen in the battle of the labriynth.
–
percy also has his watch sheild from his brother ( in the book the son of neptune it says he has a watch on (i think it was when he was getting chased))
–
darth destro@ I really didn’t like the movie adaption, it butchered the books and wasn’t nearly as entertaining as them. Kind of like the Eragon movie, just not as bad.
–
i agree with you on this remark. so god damn terrible and off from the book that at first i thought i had gone to the wrong movie. the movie stayed with the book up till percy was attacked by the fury
@Housecracker
You mean Ezio’s not a normal Vanilla Humanoid, either?
That’s new. o.0′
Are you ready to get the SoN-stage quotes from the novel for examples?
Percy may or may not have better odds against Drizzt than Eragon does, but whether or not the field of combat in question is raining will no doubt be a factor for whether or not Percy’s odds are better, that’s for sure.
I disagree, Ezio can see where Percy’s weak spot is with his eagle sight, the demigod wont even see Ezio coming.
Yea I don’t think Percy could do it (but im not sure,since I havne’t read the book) so im not 100%
Percy Is not to be underestimated, He defeated Ares in single combat(While augmented by the sea). But he did hold his own until he got the boost.
-
I’ll look into the books for some feats for Percy to add something a bit more soon, but He Did also hold up the world in place of Atlas For a short time as well, so near Hercules strength isn’t a bad estimate of sheer power.
But ezio doesn’t have to fight him he could assassasinate him or shoot him or poison him
-
And Ezio has the home field advantage
with eagle sight, Percy is exposed. All the cool things he can do cant help a blade in his back.
second Ezio activates Eagle Sense Percy sticks out like a Christmas Tree light. Without the curse of Achilles anymore bullets work just fine. So do crossbow bolts. Percy’s cool but sniper crossbow or wrist gun for the win.
if Percy is to much for Ezio to take, he would get the brotherhood to finish Percy off. but this wont be necessary.
Brotherhood would be outside help.
Wouldn’t eagle eye be a game mechanic? I always figured it was the guy in the chairs ability for “mission marks”
It’s there ability to tell important things apart,not just a game mechanic.
“Wouldn’t eagle eye be a game mechanic? I always figured it was the guy in the chairs ability for “mission marks””
-
Desmond developed the ability to do it outside of the animus. So I think it’s actually something the assassins in his bloodline eventually are able to do.
Yeah throughout Ezio’s saga it’s explained that it was a sixth sense passed from Those Who Came Before to some human descendents after the interbreeding. At the End of Brotherhood Minerva awakens Ezio’s Eagle vision further into a new Eagle Sense that does even more.
So I think Ezio holds most of the winning cards in this. He doesn’t have to fight him straight on. Home field Advantage. Experience in things like this more or less (he stalks people so he knows what to look for).
Even without home field advantage Ezio is trained to quickly learn about a new area by climbing to the highest point and observing. That’s why you climb to the top of high buildings and scan the area, canonically they didn’t know the area until they did that. However for gameplays sake it doesn’t matter. Even if it was Manhattan Ezio would just scale the Empire State Building look around and know exactly where the best parkour spots are. He’s just that good.
“Even if it was Manhattan Ezio would just scale the Empire State Building look around and know exactly where the best parkour spots are. He’s just that good.”
-
Or take an elevator.
Yea elevator seems the better route lol
Same point. However you cut it enviornment isn’t a detriment for Ezio
Yea I think Ezio takes this,Should he get an award for it?
Okay well yeah with that Ezio can assassinate Percy with impunity. Percy belongs in a combat situation thread. I can’t remember any scene in the books where am unseen opponent gets the drop on him or he reacts to
“Home field Advantage.”
+
There’s water everywhere,and Ezio knows this place already. The battlefield seems even enough to me.
=
“Without the curse of Achilles anymore bullets work just fine. So do crossbow bolts.”
+
If he really needs to heal, there’s tons of water to dive into.
Would Percy’s ADHD factor into reacting to ezios sneak attack? It causes him to not focus on any one thing too long
It is obvious Ezio will find Percy first and even with the curse of Achilles Ezio will see where his weakness is. but Ezio will probably interrogate Percy before killing him.
“It is obvious Ezio will find Percy first and even with the curse of Achilles Ezio will see where his weakness is.”

I could understand seeing someone different, or noticing something out of place, but I’ve never seen him notice something normal. Percy’s weak point is the same as the rest of his body, only it hurts when you poke it.

Of course, that makes sense.
/sarcasm
“Percy’s weak point is the same as the rest of his body, only it hurts when you poke it.”
I thought he lost the curse?
Yes, Percy no longer has the curse. But barring a lucky strike Ezio can’t match Percy. The OP also states that Ezio is being followed by percy, Ezio will have a hell of a time losing the demigod
OP also states the two don’t know each other, just their clothes, and Ezio knows he’s being followed. The games don’t show it much but Ezio changes his clothes when the need arises, the assassin robes are probably just for a batman effect upon the Templars.
–
My real point in that is, Percy isn’t actively following Ezio as in stalking him, at least not off the bat. He’s tracking him, trying to catch up to him by following his tracks, seeing where he has been and guessing where he will be.
–
So losing the demigod isn’t the problem, here. The demigod has to find the blade in the needlestack without being shanked.
“The demigod has to find the blade in the needlestack without being shanked.”

As long as the stab isn’t in a place that will kill him within seconds, he can just jump in the water and heal.

Looking at this, I would think blocking darts wouldn’t be too hard. It also seems Ezio needs to be close or it misses.
=
“Shouldn’t it’s effect keep him from water till it’s to late and the poison kills him?”
+
I can’t quite recall him working out poison with only water, but he has mentioned the stuff in passing before, I’ll check later.
+
He does carry ambrosia with him, which has taken on magical poisons before, so between that and water healing he should be able to survive.
=
He should be able to destroy bridges and the like using water, limiting Ezio’s movement, and he should be able to keep up using boats and his power over them.
right destroying bridges is going to slow down the guy who doesn’t need bridges or boats to traverse any city. Plus isn’t Percy following Ezio?
“Looking at this, I would think blocking darts wouldn’t be too hard. It also seems Ezio needs to be close or it misses.”

Range wise your able to hit people from the top of buildings. Though Ezio would likely be able to miss if Percy is moving too fast or eradically for either ezio’s aim or the projectile.

Well the problem is that it doesn’t seem to be felt much when it hit and the effects are pretty much instant. Meaning by the time feels the effects he should be to drugged up to think rationally… Unless you do manage to find some sort of poison resistance feat.

Because every building is right next to each other, and in perfect jumping distance. Guards love roof assassins right?

My coat and shirt were pinned to the wall by some kind of spike—a black dagger-like projectile about a foot long. It had grazed the skin of my shoulder as it passed through my clothes, and the cut burned. I’d felt something like this before. Poison.
I forced myself to concentrate. I would not pass out.
Chapter 1, The Titan’s Curse.
+
I’ll try and find more, but theres one in Percy Vs Kratos that has him doing a higher level hydrokinesis feat while poisoned, he took some ambrosia but it hadn’t fully healed him yet. If anything, this one just has him keeping his head while poisoned.

I’ve got three other books but I’m busy now.

“My coat and shirt were pinned to the wall by some kind of spike—a black dagger-like projectile about a foot long. It had grazed the skin of my shoulder as it passed through my clothes, and the cut burned. I’d felt something like this before. Poison.
I forced myself to concentrate. I would not pass out.

So that means he might be able to resist the side effect. Anything against something more lethal? Also there’s still stealthyness of it, in that those that get hit don’t deem to realize they’ve been hit. Does he have anything like a sixth sense that would alert him to him being hit or maybe an already enhanced one that would let him feel it?
@Envoy
didn’t say they were but he usually can reach a grasp or find his way or just flat out swim if worst comes to worst.

and the OP says “Percy is transported back to Ezio’s era in venice by the gods, Eizo knows he is being folowed but not by who.”
so if I understand right yes Percy is tracking Ezio.
Percy breathes in some noxious gas from Kampê’s blade.
“She blocked Annabeth’s sword, and Annabeth had to jump back to avoid the cloud of poison. Just being near the thing was like standing in acid fog. My eyes burned. My lungs couldn’t get enough get enough air. I knew we couldn’t stand our ground for more than a few seconds.”

More on Kampê’s scimitars.
“She was holding two swords-long bronze scimitars that glowed with a weird greenish aura, boiling wisps of vapor that smelled across the yard.”

They were in Alkatraz for the second quote.

He doesn’t have anything to predict/anticipate/detect the dart other than actually seing it. But just going by the quote in post 95 he should just be able to “feel” the poison, recognize the problem, and take precautions

At lower elevations water, and Percy would reach him easier than normal. Don’t go in the water.

Percy uses currents to leave the seafloor, also durability.

“Then I turned away. I willed the ocean currents to aid me. Water swirled around me, and I shot toward the surface at speeds that would’ve caused any normal human to pop like a balloon.”

“‘Die in pain, mortal!’ Before I could raise my sword in defence, another daemon’s claws raked my shoulder. If I’d been wearing armour, no problem, but I was still in my school uniform. The thing’s talons sliced my shirt open and tore into my skin. My whole left side seemed to explode in pain.
Nico kicked the monster away and stabbed it. All I could do was collapse and curl into a ball, trying to endure the horrible burning.
…
He uncorked a bottle of the godly drink and trickled it across my shoulder. This was dangerous – just a sip of the stuff is all most
demigods can stand – but immediately the pain eased. Together, Nico and Thalia dressed the wound and I only passed out a few times.
…
‘The Keres will be back,’ he warned. He looked at my shoulder with concern. ‘That wound… the Keres are spirits of disease and
pestilence as well as violence. We can slow down the infection, but eventually you’ll need serious healing. I mean a god’s power. Otherwise…’
He didn’t finish the thought.”
