Determined to clear the fortified garrison, I eliminated surrounding soldiers and boarded an enemy vessel to claim its silver. Returning to shore, I activated my Overkill ability to crush heavy brutes and commanders. Then I looted a legendary bow alongside Carbon Crystals, freed caged civilians, and completely cleared the restricted zone.
Refusing to leave any surviving soldiers behind, I advanced through the stronghold to eliminate the remaining forces one by one. One guard attempted to slip away under the cover of a smoke bomb, but I cut him off before he could escape into the haze.
Settling an old score with the garrison after past struggles, I pressed the advantage without giving the local troops a chance to regroup. As I prepared to take down two heavy brutes, an enemy vessel pulled up alongside the waterfront.
I paused to avoid drawing additional reinforcements into the fray, but grew impatient when the ship remained anchored.
Opening the assault on the vessel, I fired a series of fire arrows into the captain just as the ship began to drift into open water.
Spotting valuable silver on the fallen commander's corpse, I leaped off the garrison wall onto the deck to claim the loot.
An archer stationed near the helm tried to block my path, but I dropped him immediately, following up with a stylish finisher on the final sailor on board.
Before the ship drifted out of range, I dived back into the water to return to the garrison shore and finish securing the location.
Dead bodies floated around the docks as I hauled myself back onto land. A heavy brute rushed out to intercept me at the shoreline, prompting me to unleash my Overkill ability to crush his defense in seconds.
A secondary commander disembarked from a nearby transport boat to reinforce the defense, but my empowered strikes dispatched him instantly, allowing me to collect his bronze loot before cutting down another soldier charging from the keep.
With the defense shattered, I tracked down the final high-priority target, assassinating him quietly to recover a Deathstorm Hunter Bow from his body.
Before hunting the final remaining soldier, I stepped inside a nearby building to collect the treasure chest containing rare Carbon Crystals, and earned 900 experience points for clearing all location objectives.
I then tracked the final soldier to the waterfront who went near the water probably to drink some or maybe to clean him up. I stepped into his line of sight so he could see his attacker before I delivered the final strike.
Scanning the perimeter before departing, I located a group of caged civilians. I broke the locks to set them free and earned extra experience points and then marked the total conquest of the restricted zone.
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.
