A Cougar of the Isolated Desert || AC Origins

I traveled to the isolated desert to hunt a cougar for essential supplies. After an initial fire arrow strike from a tree, the beast retaliated with overwhelming speed. Despite a horseback chase and activating an overkill ability, the cougar overpowered me before I could finish the fight.

I noticed there were some supplies I was looking for at the isolated deserts, so I fast-traveled there. I started flying as Senu to check around the dunes, and I noticed there was this strong cougar who had what I was looking for.

I rode close to the cougar and positioned myself right above him on a tree branch. From there, I shot him with a fire arrow, but the beast started running away as soon as it felt the searing heat of the flames.

I chased the cougar and I started attacking it, hoping it would be easier to take down a beast instead of trained soldiers. But the predator was much stronger than I anticipated.

Suddenly, the cougar was overwhelming me with its attacks. You can see how Bayek was losing health rapidly as the animal's claws tore through his armor..

I decided to climb on a hill to survive from its wrath, and that worked well for the time being. From the elevated rocks, I had a moment to breathe and nock another arrow while the cougar circled below me.

I shot the cougar with my fire arrows again, and it started running away into the open desert. I called my mount and started chasing it on the desert way, determined not to let my valuable prize escape.

After getting ahead of the cougar, I started shooting it from my horseback to stay out of reach. I followed this strategy till the cougar decided to attack me back, leaping at the horse's legs to bring us both down.

After getting off the horse, I activated this overkill ability as I had it ready for a finishing move. I started attacking the cougar, hoping the overkill would overpower him for sure and end this long, exhausting hunt.

But I was so wrong, as the beast took me down where I did not even finish the overkill effect. The cougar's raw strength was too much, and I collapsed onto the sand as the predator claimed its victory over me.

I'll show more of my photographic journey of the games soon, so stay tuned to my blog if you liked them.
