I surveyed the area using Enkidu to tag dozens of guards blocking my path toward the Order member. Wanting to prolong my gameplay, I cleared the enemy presence through careful stealth, employing throwing knives, whistling lures, aerial assassinations, and focus abilities while hiding bodies along the way.
I started by calling upon Enkidu to survey the harbor area from high above, using his keen sight to tag every guard posted across the docks. Although I had a direct line toward my main target, the Order member, I preferred to extend my gameplay experience by clearing out every single hostile force in the area.
There were easily two dozen guards scattered around the harbor, and I intended to eliminate them quietly one by one using pure stealth.
Looking down, I spotted my first target standing obliviously right beneath me. I executed a swift aerial assassination, dropping down quietly to take him out before he could utter a sound.
I realized the enemy density was high, which meant I could not afford any reckless actions. I spotted a pair of guards standing relatively close together. Knowing a close range approach might alert them, I readied my throwing knives.
I waited for the third nearby patroller to turn his back, giving me a clean window. In rapid succession, I launched two throwing knives, instantly dropping both guards.
When the third guard moved in to investigate the unexpected silence, I dispatched him with another well-placed throwing knife.
A fourth guard appeared nearby, and though my initial knife throw did not immediately down him, a second strike finished the job.
With another guard approaching, I used my final throwing knife to take him down. Out of thrown weapons, I searched the immediate area and located a supply chest, completely refilling my stock of knives.
Before going for more guards, I hid the bodies around first so other guards that I decided to lure next won't start looking for me immediately.
With my arsenal replenished, I focused on clearing the remaining positions. I moved toward a small booth, stepped inside, and whistled to draw a patroller off his route.
As he stepped in to investigate, I assassinated him, and concealed his body safely out of sight.
I focused on this guard and even went close to him but then I noticed there was another guard nearby and taking this one down even in stealth would alert the other one so I ignored this side for the time being.
Continuing along the outer perimeter, I found a group of guards positioned tightly together. Recognizing that a standard stealth approach would alert the surrounding enemies, I activated my focus ability.'
In a single fluid motion, I marked and eliminated two guards before stepping out of the vision cone of the last one.
I closed the distance quietly and used my hidden blade to finish him off without triggering an alarm.
I moved deeper into the harbor compound where another group of four guards covered each other's lines of sight. Lacking sufficient focus charge to take them all down simultaneously, I decided to pull back and leave them for later.
Moving to a different section, I found a guard standing in an open alley. I approached from his blind spot, took him down quickly, and immediately picked up his body to hide it, ensuring no passing patrols would spot the remains.
Until next time, happy gaming.
