To rescue a rich kid named Gennaro, I infiltrated a large bandit camp. Relying on stealth, I choked out patrolling guards, threw dinari to lure a confused bandit into an ambush, and hid bodies in crates and off cliffs to clear a silent path to Gennaro.
I had to find the rich kid Gennaro and rescue him from a group of bandits. It always seemed to be the wealthy kids who needed saving by the less fortunate.
I looked over the camp and saw bandit guards posted all around the area. I decided to approach the situation quietly, or at least eliminate a few targets silently before making any loud moves.
I targeted one specific bandit and climbed down slightly to get closer to him, but he immediately moved off to another spot. I waited patiently for him to return, but it soon became clear that he was not coming back toward me.
I decided to stalk him directly instead, eventually finding him busy working on something. As I crept closer to my target, I noticed several more bandits on guard nearby, including one positioned on high ground who was actively scanning the area on high alert.
I went after my original target anyway, sneaking up behind him and choking him to death. Knowing other bandits were patrolling nearby, I hid his body safely out of sight and then opened a crate using my knife, looted a few dinarii from inside that I would likely need later.
Next, I turned my attention to a guard who was enjoying a smoke while taking in the beautiful scenery ahead. I decided to ruin the view for him, creeping up silently and choking him down as well. Instead of looking for another crate, I simply dumped his body off the edge of the high ground, letting it drop out of sight.
With those guards cleared, it was time to move deeper into the massive camp. I spotted a target who I initially thought was an elite bandit, perhaps the one I had seen talking to the bandit leader during an earlier cinematic.
After getting a better look at his face, I realized his hat had confused me and he was just a regular guard. Since he was standing on the far side of a crate, I could not pull off a swift, direct stealth attack.
I threw a few dinarii over to a nearby spot to create a noise distraction. When he walked over to investigate the sound, I grabbed him from behind and choked him out.
I was getting much closer to Gennaro's location, but two more bandits were blocking the path. One guard was relaxing while the other walked away right after they finished a brief conversation. I choked out the resting bandit as soon as his partner turned his back.
Before the other guard could return, I dragged the body over to a nearby box and hid it inside. I slipped back into cover just as the second bandit walked back toward his post.
I waited quietly to see his movement pattern, refusing to blow my perfect setup. As he turned around to circle back, I crouched, crept up behind him without making a sound, and choked him to death.
To be continued.
