I realized my gear was too weak for combat, so I set out to hunt for upgrade materials. An attempt to hunt high-level crocodiles left my boat destroyed and me fighting for survival in the water. I changed my target to a well-guarded bandit, utilizing hit-and-run assassination attempts.
Last time I realized I should look into my gears as I am not strong enough against a lot of enemies in this game. I opened the menu to calculate exactly which materials I would need to collect to upgrade my bracers and breastplate for better protection.
After tagging an animal's skin on the other side of the river by flying Senu, I started rowing a boat towards there. The water was calm, and I kept a close eye on the marker Senu provided, unaware of the predators lurking just beneath the surface.
After getting there, I noticed it was a high-level crocodile that I knew would be hard to take down. I still tried to take it down with fire arrows, aiming for its soft underbelly as it lunged toward the side of my small wooden boat.
But the crocodile had friends, and all of them started bumping on my boat with immense force. As a result, my boat collapsed into splinters and I was attacked in middle water. I struggled to stay afloat while the snapping jaws closed in from every direction.
I somehow survived the initial situation, and before they could hold on to me, I came out of the water to escape the beasts.
Upon reaching the shore, I noticed that one of the crocodiles still followed me even on the ground level. I had to climb up to a high board to escape its attack, from where I tried to shoot it down. I just understood it would take hundreds of arrows.
I changed that location and I started looking for another material which a bandit was holding. I tracked the group of three people.
I noticed my target had two bodyguards with him and all three of them were high level and a lot stronger. I decided to damage their health little by little and escape their reach at the same time.
With that plan, I kept trying to assassinate one of the bodyguards to damage his health significantly. After landing a strike, I was escaping with my horse right away before they could recover and surround me with their heavy weapons.
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.
