I replayed the sequence after dying, successfully assassinating Zahra before guards could interfere. After a second failed attempt where reinforcements overwhelmed me, I finally perfected the mission by killing Zahra early and I finished by clearing the area.
I had to play the sequence from the beginning after I died, so I skipped the initial part. I did not mistake my target this time; I jumped on her right before the guard came close.
Now that my initial target was taken care of, I could have escaped, but I stopped there to take down the guards who killed me last time. I wanted to ensure they paid for my previous failure.
Some guards started closing in on me, so I started butchering them down. One of them began blowing a horn to attract reinforcements, making the situation much more dangerous than I anticipated.
I understood I was getting overwhelmed as a special soldier arrived. I tried to get away while a heavy soldier attacked me, but unfortunately, I was killed again and had to restart once more.
This time I did not wait for her to get to the fountain. I assassinated my target right before she could leave her relaxing zone, catching her completely off guard before her security could react.
Fortunately, I was able to assassinate the heavy guard right behind her who would have blown the horn. By removing him first, I prevented the special soldiers from being summoned to the courtyard.
Then I had to take care of the regular guards around the area. This time it was like I was a professional assassin, moving with speed and precision unlike my previous clumsy attempts.
My work there was done and I could leave the place safely. However, I noticed there was a leftover guard at the entrance, so I assassinated him as well to ensure no witnesses remained.
I came out and noticed a man checking a bounty poster with my picture on it. After he left, I tore down the poster to decrease my notoriety and move through the city more freely.
Until next time, happy gaming.
