I climbed up the garrison, silently eliminating several archers and guards while hiding their bodies in the water.

After exploring the rooftops, I was spotted by patrolling soldiers. Forced into open combat, I dragged a fresh corpse into the bushes to hide before ambushing a pursuing enemy.

I climbed up the garrison walls to search for more guards stationed along the perimeter. Spotting an archer holding a position ahead, I drew my bow and brought him down with a single fire arrow.

To avoid detection, I carried his corpse into a secluded spot before moving on.

Next, I targeted a guard who had nearly spotted me moments earlier as he stood watch over a doorway. I leaped from above, executing a silent air assassination, and dumped his body into the water.

Shifting my attention across the walkway, I picked out another archer. I closed the distance quickly and took him down with a swift stealth kill, and I left the body where it fell to avoid wasting time.

As I moved toward yet another archer, I noticed him walking directly toward my position. I ducked into cover and waited, but he abruptly turned, climbed down to a lower ground, and began patrolling the area.

Realizing his route led straight toward the corpse I had left exposed, I shadowed his movements to intercept him if necessary. Instead of discovering the body, he walked down to the shore and began washing himself with the lake water.

Leaving him behind, I pushed deeper into enemy territory to map out the patrol routes of the remaining garrison guards.

As I navigated the high rooftops, I noticed massive statues mounted across the buildings, giving the impression that the local inhabitants held a deep reverence for them.

While exploring the area, a group of guards suddenly spotted me, forcing me to make a quick retreat. Enemy soldiers seemed to swarm every corner of the compound regardless of where I turned

I was left with no choice but to stand my ground and fight a few off to prevent them from raising a full base alarm.

After eliminating one of my pursuers, I grabbed the corpse to hide it. Seeing more guards approaching the courtyard, I hauled the body straight into a dense patch of bushes to break line of sight.

Just as I settled into the greenery, a relentless soldier spotted my hiding spot and lunged forward to attack, but I quickly parried his blow and took him down right there, when another one ran back to lit the brazier.


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

The screenshots are taken by me personally from my gameplay and I borrowed the game's logo from DevianArt.
