PREREQUISITE: Complete Main Quest: May Amun Walk Beside You (find Aya)
Suggested Level: 11
Reward: 500 XP
Unlocks: One of two prerequisites for continuing Main Quest: Aya
Details: Aya must stay hidden until Gennadios is dealt with.
Find and Assassinate Gennadios
The Phylakitai of Alexandria, Gennadios, has expended every effort to track down the killer of Acteon. Aya has eluded him by remaining hidden. Gennadios is known to roam the Akra Garrison. From time to time, he takes several men to search for Aya in the district outside the garrison. For Aya to walk freely, you must kill Gennadios.
You receive this quest in Aya’s hideout (1) in Main Quest: May Amun Walk Beside You, but you may want to beat Main Quest: End of the Snake first, as it has a lower-level prerequisite. The first objective is approaching Akra Garrison (2).
AKRA GARRISON
Prerequisite: Approach the Garrison
SUGGESTED LEVEL: 10 or higher
LOCATION REWARD: 900 XP
LOCATION OBJECTIVES: Kill two captains and one commander; loot four treasures
Akra Garrison: Approach
Use Senu to mark all the soldiers in the garrison, including the captain and the commander. They range in level from 8 to 11. Mark the treasures using our map as a guide to their locations. There is one unguarded entrance into the garrison and that’s through the lower west doorway (3), found below the main west entrance.
Although it’s always best to begin your infiltration from above, we wanted to mention this entrance because there are a couple rooms and a floor above full of loot. Grab all the good stuff and then get to the top of the garrison’s wall walk.
We suggest going up the west wall and shimmying along the top until you are above the main entrance (4) and looking at the brazier (trap) and a ballista. Look for nearby patrolling guards before pulling up onto the wall walk. Set the trap and man the ballista. Look through the sights and see if you can take down any patrolling soldiers from this position.
Move south or north along the wall walk that encompasses the garrison. Assassinate every target that comes into view using arrows or ballistae. Use our map to find arrow supplies and hiding places, keeping in mind some callouts are inside buildings (like the treasures).
Discover the easternmost treasure by entering the large guardhouse through the wall walk entrance and heading down the ladder inside to the second floor (where a hiding booth is located). Use the stairs to reach the first floor. Be careful, as one of the captains patrols this house; if you have not dealt with him already, expect to see him around here. Use Animus Pulse to locate the treasure (5) along the west wall.
Head back up the stairs to the room with the hiding booth. Notice there is a second room on the second floor. Investigate this room to find the other treasure (6) in this guardhouse.
Head to the rooftop of the same guardhouse and use the ballista (7) to take out patrolling guards on the garrison’s northwest side. You may be able to get the second captain (8) under the tent from this position as well.
Use connecting ropes to cross rooftops, heading west to the central guardhouse (9). Use arrows to stealthily remove guards from the area. Enter this house through the top doorway. Drop down to the next level through the ladder hole Find the third treasure on a table in a small box (10).
You can often find a couple soldiers on the first floor. Head down the stairs and kill them. Use the booth near the exit to hide from any guards that may hear the commotion and come in to investigate. This is often a good way to kill the commander who patrols this area.
Head north across the rooftops and drop down on the north side of the central guardhouse complex. Enter the first-floor entryway and find the last treasure (11) on the ground in a narrow side room.
Assassinating Gennadios
You may want to save this guy for last. If Gennadios travels outside the garrison he will be out of the Restricted Area and will be easier to assassinate. When most of the soldiers in the fort are dead, locate Gennadios, get on a nearby rooftop, and put an arrow through his bodyguards and then through his skull. Confirm your kill and you’ll meet Gennadios in the land of the dead, place a feather on him, and send him off to where he belongs.
