While exploring in broad daylight, I stepped in to help an old fighter named Hilarus who was getting beaten up. I took down his opponent in a fistfight without taking a single hit. Impressed by my skills, Hilarus led me to his contact for another match, which I saved for later.
I was just casually walking through the area in broad daylight, looking for a bit of action, when I spotted a side quest nearby. I noticed a guy who looked completely exhausted, almost like he was totally worn out from hard work, and I figured interacting with him would probably start up a new mission.
The moment I walked up to check on him, he got pulled right into a fistfight with another man. This old fighter, named Hilarus, looked way too slow and weak to be out here brawl-testing people.
He could barely throw a proper punch and took a pretty bad beating, even though he actually looked healthier than the guy hitting him. The other man won the fight easily and warned Hilarus that his bones would break if he tried it again, so I knew it was time for me to step in and stop the bully.
I had Bayek interact with the other guy to get him off the old man. The fighter turned around, acting tough, and asked if Bayek wanted a piece of the action too, which immediately started up a fistfight right in front of a huge crowd that gathered around us.
I didn't rush in to attack right away; instead, I focused on dodging his heavy swings so I could get a good read on his attack pattern.
The guy was pretty huge and had a massive health bar, but once I figured out his timing, I started landing my own hits. Honestly, he couldn't land a single hit on me the entire fight.
I completely overpowered him and took him down way easier than I expected, which felt super satisfying. As soon as he hit the ground, the crowd lost interest and started walking away.
After teaching that guy a lesson, I walked over to check on Hilarus. He tried to walk off while I was talking to him, but Bayek told him straight up that he was way too old to be taking street fights like that, though he admitted he actually liked the old man's weird fighting style.
When Bayek asked why he keeps doing this to himself, Hilarus explained he was a champion long before Bayek was even born, and that he makes his living off street fighting for people who can't afford tickets to see top-tier arena acts like the Gallic Brothers.
It was pretty funny hearing him mention the Gallic Brothers, considering I already beat those guys a long time ago.
Impressed by how quickly I dropped his opponent, Hilarus asked why I didn't take the next match myself. He walked me over to another fighter to prove my worth and told me to let him know when I was ready to start the match.
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.
