I whistled to lure the perfume trader near explosive pots, detonating them with a throwing knife to finish the contract. Instead of leaving immediately, I stayed to clear out the remaining guards using chain assassinations, air strikes, and blade attacks..
I waited for the perfume trader to walk toward my position near a stack of explosive pots, but I worried the blast radius might miss him if he stayed on his path.
To bring him closer, I whistled from my hiding spot along the canal edge. The sound caught his attention, and he walked right over to investigate. As soon as he moved into position, I slipped into the water.
While he scanned the area looking for me, I threw a knife into the explosive pots, blowing him up and completed the environmental kill contract just as planned.
A nearby guard ran over to inspect the sound of the explosion. I waited for him to finish checking the site, then leaped out of the roof to drop him with an air assassination.
With the main target dead, I could have left the area immediately, but I decided to stay behind and clear out every remaining soldier in the district who had made the mission difficult. I started tracking the remaining patrols moving through the streets.
I dropped from a rooftop to take out one soldier with an air assassination, then triggered a chain assassination to kill a second guard nearby with a throwing knife.
Realizing the bodies would soon alert other patrols, I quickly threw another knife to drop a third guard before he could raise an alarm.
Moving across the high beams, I set up above a two-man patrol walking together below. I dropped down on the first guard, then immediately chained into a finisher on the second. I took out a heavy brute in one clean sequence there.
As I prepared to track the last few guards, an elite soldier discovered the pile of bodies and went on high alert. I dropped down on him from above, but he survived the initial strike and forced me into open combat.
He landed a heavy hit on me early in the fight, but I parried his attacks, broke his stance, and finished him off before claiming some valuable loot from his body.
Spotting one of two last guards standing directly beneath me, I dropped down silently and executed an air assassination to clear the district completely. Now there was only one more guard remained to take care of at the entrance of the district.
Until next time, happy gaming.
