Suggested Level: 28

REWARDS: 2,250 XP

Speak to the Healer in Euhemeria Slums

Euhemeria Slums

Talk to the young woman healer (1) in the Euhemeria slums.

Investigate the Strange Sickness in Euhemeria Harbor

Follow the healer west down the road to the shell of a building. Activate Animus Pulse to locate the clues. Interact with the filthy bowls on the ground and the dead body on the gurney.

Enter the storage room behind the wall and investigate the seasoning urns and the rancid food in large vases.

Speak to the Healer

You ask the healer where the food comes from and she tells you a merchant makes it for the poor. He’s in the south section of town. She shows you the way.

Follow the Healer to the Merchant’s Home

Follow the fast healer as she runs west and then crosses the wooden bridge into town. Continue to follow her east to the estate (2).

Investigate the Food Merchant’s Home

Pass through the merchant’s home to the backyard, hop the fence, and select a powerful warrior bow. Enter the small building in the back (5) and you’ll meet the merchant responsible for the rancid food that’s making people sick. He has two soldiers with him.

Assassinate the Food Merchant

Draw your warrior bow and shoot the Level 28 soldiers directly in the face as soon as the cinematic ends. One shot apiece should do them in. The merchant is the lesser of the three evils, so save him for last. Confirm the merchant’s death to complete the quest.
