Unlocks: Birth of the Creed
Details: Aya heads to Rome to finish her task.
Sail to Rome
Aya, edgy from her recent breakup, nearly kills a teasing crewmember. Phoxidas tries to comfort her and get her mind off Bayek. She tosses the golden Medjay badge into the sea.
Brutus and Cassius have met with Aya to discuss the removal of Julius Caesar, who has declared himself dictator in perpetuity. The seas are aflame with change and battle as Aya attempts to find solace in dealing with the Romans.
You sail west with three ally warships. Your first destination is marked some 1,700 meters away. At around 800 meters from the destination, you see a flare in the sky. You’ve been spotted. An enemy fleet will confront you shortly.
Sink the Roman Fleet
To the east is a fleet of six ships. Begin with catapults and then steer to the side of a ship on the outside of their line so you don’t get caught in the middle.
Sink the Fire Ships
After destroying the last ship in the first wave, Phoxidas spots small ships set on fire. Do not let the small fire ships hit yours. Keep moving and destroy the little ships as soon as possible. Consider using your catapults on the fire ships from a safe distance.
After destroying the fleet of fire ships, more fire ships and two enemy ships appear to the north. Sail east to keep the enemy battleships between you and the small fire ships. Use catapults on the large ships. You can stop the fire ships by taking out their sails if hitting their low-profile hulls proves difficult.
Sink the Twin Roman Octaremes
The next wave of the battle is with two large octaremes. Sail west to find them before they find you. Use catapults on the nearest one as soon as it’s in range. With your ally ships chipping in with catapults, a direct hit can shave off a quarter of an octareme’s health. So let those loose each time they charge up. Ram the ships to get quicker weapon charges. Circle the ships, keep your speed up, and use your allies as cover (sounds awful doesn’t it). Destroy the two octaremes and you find shore in Rome on the Ides of March.
