Hey Fellow Gamres.
I showed how I completed the mission in the prison camp to steal the list of the prisoners and their locations. I went directly to the bureau with that, and there I met Roshan and Fulad with this ledger. We searched for it and found out that Ali was in Damascus Gate Prison. And a new mission begins.
Fulad told me it is one of the biggest and heavily guarded prisons ever, and it's nearly impossible to get inside. These all happened in cinematic, and thus, I'm not sharing any images of these moments. Fulad left before me, saying he would scout the prison, and told me to meet him outside the prison gate.
Before I went there, I needed to upgrade my weapons, and for that, I met with this man in the picture below. He's a blacksmith. But, sadly, I did not have enough resources to upgrade, not even my dagger. I was so busy wandering around the map and completing missions that I completely skipped the looting and pickpocketing part, and now I'm too poor to upgrade my weapons.
So, I moved forward with what weapons I already had. When I reached the fish market, I found this lovely stray cat, and he was trying to get some attention. So, I took him and pet him, and it looked like he really enjoyed the love.
This was the first time I visited this part of the city, and it was well guarded, for sure. There were watchtowers for soldiers everywhere, and all those towers had archers standing on them.
Even the normal market road was not safe enough for me. It was filled with soldiers, as you can see in the picture below.
After a while, I finally reached the prison. And man, it is gigantic. Just look at the size of it. I better get back to Fulad and see what he found out about the prison.
I finally found Fulad on top of a roof, scouting the area. The view was much better from there. To get a better view, I used Enkidu (my pet eagle) to fly over the prison, but the archers shot it down as soon as I entered the prison parameter.
Then, Fulad came to help. He grew up in this part of the city, and his father was held captive inside the prison. So, as a child, he would fly his kite in the hope that his father would see it and know that his son was waiting for him outside. The structure was slightly different then, and the walls were lower too. So, Fulad has a little idea about the structure inside, and he can help me.
Now, the main task is crossing all these guards standing in front of the gate and getting inside. I showed Fulad one of the Khidmah tokens, and it was the "All Favor" one. Fulad told me that I could use it to bribe the guards to look the other way or get the help of some mercenaries, and I had to be wise about what way I chose.
But there was another issue. I actually used the token earlier just to see how it works, and now I have none, and I had to stop the mission here. I'll need to see some gameplay on YouTube and search for some articles that can give me idea about how to earn these tokens back.
I hope you liked it and will come back soon with the intense mission that is waiting for me in the prison. Let's see what happens.
