After clearing remaining guards and collecting missed loot, Basim broke through a ceiling to claim the Zanj Uprising Sword. Leaving the district completed the contract. After taking down a shouting civilian and ignoring desynchronization warnings, I defeated another elite soldier, and collected a Power Favor Token before wrapping up.
A single soldier remained stationed near the entrance, completely unaware of my presence. I closed the distance quietly and executed him from behind, that brought a satisfying end to the long sweep of the compound.
With the area clear, I took time to check the surroundings for supplies, realizing I had nearly walked away from a significant amount of valuable loot.
While gathering items, another guard wandered into the courtyard and discovered the bodies left behind. Rather than engaging in open combat, I flicked a throwing knife into his chest to drop him instantly.
Nearby, I spotted environmental traps that could have been used against the perfume trader earlier, realizing I had taken the harder route.
I turned toward the main building containing the Soap Boilers district's primary treasure, but the front entrance was barred from the far side.
After searching the perimeter without finding an open window, I looked up and spotted a weak false ceiling above. I broke through the wooden panels, climbed up, and opened the massive chest to claim the Zanj Uprising Sword.
Next to the chest, I found a letter regarding soap shipments
With the treasure secured, I exited the area to officially complete the contract and receive my rewards. As I walked down the street, a citizen spotted me and began shouting that I was a wanted criminal from the posters.
Knowing that harming civilians risks desynchronization, I chased down the fleeing man and eliminated him before he could alert the town guard.
The commotion drew an elite soldier into the alleyway. Before he could close the distance, I attacked him with throwing knives to wear down his armor.
He lunged forward to force a melee duel, but I parried his heavy swings and brought him down. Searching his body yielded a Power Favor Token along with health elixirs and my spent throwing knives. And this brought a successful end to the run.
Until next time, happy gaming.
