I decided to infiltrate the Okteres Blockade after scouting with Senu. The mission was full of surprises, including a commander who died in an accidental fire. I used stealth to clear lookouts and a mounted crossbow to wipe out a nearby boat before finishing more guards with fire arrows and blades.

I'm getting a lot more comfortable fighting enemies on the water. I noticed the Okteres Blockade and decided to infiltrate it, so I sent Senu up first to survey the three boats and tag every threat.

After tagging the enemies, I jumped from my vantage point and rowed a small boat quietly toward the blockade. My objectives were clear: take down the captain and commander and loot the two treasures.

While I was planning my move, the commander actually died in a freak accident. He caught on fire while I was just staring at him from a distance, which made my job a lot easier.

I was looking for a window to assassinate a guard on the main boat, but a lookout from a higher position spotted me. I had to quickly jump off the boat and dive into the water to avoid being fully detected.

I climbed back up and went straight for that annoying guard. I managed to assassinate him quietly this time, ensuring he wouldn't disturb my mission again.

His body fell onto the deck, so I picked it up and threw it into the lake. I didn't want any of his comrades to find him and start a careful search for me.

I found a mounted crossbow on the deck and used it to rain bolts down on another boat in the blockade. I killed the captain easily from across the water without ever having to get close.

A guard tried to climb up to my position to stop me. I hit him with fire arrows, but he kept coming, so the moment he reached the top, I slit his throat to finish the job.

I targeted one last enemy guarding the side of the big boat. My first fire arrow didn't kill him, and he started hunting for me, but a few more well-placed shots finally took him down.

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