Wrath of the Poets - Failure Part.

(Edited)

I was a fool to take up on a mission that requires level 20 when I'm at level 8 and now I'm titling this post as a failure. I completed the first part of the mission with multiple tries but the second part was a no to go as the guards that I had to kill next couldn't be taken down by me, not when I'm at this low level.

On my way, I came across more hostages. I knew I had to set them free. I proceeded cautiously, making sure to avoid alerting any guards in the area. My goal was to complete the task silently and efficiently.

One of the hostages was severely injured and could barely walk, so I carried him and ran to safety. After rescuing him and completing the task, he thanked me and warned me about two more captives. He also revealed that Gennadios Phylakitai were hunting them down.

Additionally, they had taken the play and were heading toward the palace. If it fell into the wrong hands, it would cause great trouble. With that, my mission was complete.

Flying as Senu, I surveyed the premises to locate the actors who needed rescuing. After gathering all the necessary information, I moved in to free them. However, before I could proceed, a guard on horseback, along with several others, attacked me. I was caught off guard and was quickly defeated. I realized I needed to be more careful.

I attempted a stealth attack, sneaking up on a guard and driving my knife around his neck for a silent kill. Unfortunately, there were three of them, and they immediately started attacking me and ended it with killing me. It was a bold but reckless move to attack three guards simultaneously as they were strong and well-equipped.

Changing my tactics, I hid in a bush and picked off enemies with my bow and arrow. This approach worked well; I managed to take out a guard without alerting others in the area. I successfully executed my plan and escaped unnoticed.

I then used my fire bow to eliminate another guard. Then, I used my falcon to scan the area, mark enemy locations, and launched another arrow at my next target.

As enemies were looking for me from cover, I used my falcon to distract and irritate them. When they were off-guard, I launched my attack. My plan was to lure them closer to my hiding spot, allowing me to take them out in stealth mode.

Once they fell into my trap, I ambushed them from behind. Unfortunately, my attempt wasn't entirely successful, and my hiding spot was exposed. With my cover blown, I had to flee, but the guards pursued and eventually killed me.

At the restart, I confronted the guards once more. This time, I showcased my sword-fighting skills, taking on two enemies at once. It was another bold move, but they were too strong and fast, ultimately defeating me again.

I tried escaping without being noticed, but no matter how much parkour I did, the guards spotted me. Just as I was about to rescue a hostage, a guard sounded the alarm, summoning reinforcements. I quickly realized I was in serious trouble. Despite my best efforts, I couldn't evade them, and they overwhelmed me. This mission was proving to be one of the toughest challenges I had faced yet.

I gave it up planning to take up on it when I'll get to higher levels and in the meantime, I'll try other missions that'll require low levels.


I'll show more of my photographic journey of the games soon, so stay tuned to my blog if you liked them.

The screenshots are taken by me personally from my gameplay and I borrowed the game's logo from DevianArt.

I faced the same problem when I was playing. I chose to complete a level 15 mission while my level was only 6. So every time I was being defeated by the guards.
And I like the way you change your strategy, hiding in the bush and killing those guards.

hiding in the bush didn't work as I really didn't kill the guards as they were beyond killing for my low level.

This game never ceases to amaze me with its moments in stealth mode, thanks for sharing.

This type of mission looks difficult, I'm not good at stealth, but if your level is lower the difficulty increases, I find it super fun to be able to hide in bushes haha, surely with a level closer to that of the mission you can achieve it

Hi, thanks for stopping by. Yes, I'll try that mission again after I get my level close to what's required.
