The Damaged Wall.

I looked for a way into the heavily fortified garrison after Enkidu was spooked by an archer. By eavesdropping on civilians and using eagle vision, I found a weak spot along the northern wall. Inside, a steward loyal to Ali guided me through the shadows as I silently eliminated the guarding threats.

I needed to find a way to enter the garrison, but the outer walls appeared far too steep and unclimbed. The entire place was heavily fortified, making a direct approach nearly impossible.

I called upon Enkidu to scout the perimeter from above, hoping to spot a viable entrance. A marksman on the wall shot at her with an arrow, spooking her immediately. Since I could not use her aerial vision around the area, I had to rely strictly on my own eagle vision to find a path inside.

I activated my eagle vision and surveyed the surrounding streets for any useful leads. Ahead, I noticed a group of civilians standing near the main gate. It seemed like a good opportunity to eavesdrop on their conversation and gather some valuable information about the stronghold.

I carefully blended in by sitting on a nearby bench. The civilians were talking about the heavy construction and mentioned that there were holes damaged into the garrison walls. They noted that despite the high security and guards everywhere, the structure had clear weaknesses.

Their conversation revealed that a breach might exist somewhere along the northern section of the wall. With a clear direction in mind, I left the bench and started running toward the northern side of the garrison.

I made my way around the outer perimeter of the city wall, searching carefully for the gap mentioned by the civilians. At first glance, I did not see any obvious opening in the thick stone wall.

Continuing along the wall, I spotted a lift that provided access up toward the upper defenses. I used the lift to reach the higher ground. Fortunately, none of the patrolling guards noticed my rapid ascent onto the upper level.

Being in cover, I waited for a single guard to approach my position. As soon as he stepped within reach, I seized the opportunity and assassinated him quietly to clear the path ahead.

Eliminating him allowed me to slip past the heavy defenses and secure an alternative way straight into the garrison. Once inside, I knew I had to locate a steward who remained loyal to Ali. He was supposed to be stationed somewhere near the cookhouse, so I stayed low to avoid detection.

While hiding inside a haystack, I overheard a guard talking about a key, confirming that certain inner gates were locked. I then moved forward and successfully made contact with the steward. He informed me that he had seen the rebel stash and offered to lead me through a side entrance.

I followed him closely, sticking strictly to the shadows as he guided me through the compound. Along the way, I encountered a guard who threatened to spot us. I quietly executed a stealth takedown and carried his body into a hidden spot.

Further along, I heard soldiers discussing the return of the warlord. When another guard blocked our direct path, I used a soft whistle to draw him closer. When he came to investigate the noise, I assassinated him quickly and moved his body out of sight to keep our route completely clear.

Until next time, happy gaming.
