Wandering the desert brought me visions of riders, ghosts, and shifting illusions that blurred reality. From chasing voices and phantom fires, to battling enemies mistaken for mirages, the journey grew stranger with every step. It ended at sunset, leaving me eager to return and uncover more desert mysteries.
When I was flying as Senu, I saw some peoples riding on the desert and this view reminded me of desert movie scenes. They were riding in clean environment.
But when I decided to follow them, I noticed there was sand storm ahead and thousands of flying insects were flying around me. I shot the man on the horse at the back.
More interesting thing happened when I noticed the leader on the camel changed its appearance to a ghost. But he was just a normal man that I found after he died. I understood it was the desert mirage that made me see like that.
I heard some voice in Arabic and when I followed the voice, I noticed a fire in the desert. When I rode to the fire, it was changed into this tiny plant.
Then I noticed this entire area with an enemy camp and some date trees around. I went closer and found the entire place got banished its a real place this time. I didn't wish to fight them so I ignored them.
Suddenly I noticed something was flying in the air. I looked more and realized its a scarf.
I was riding towards the scarf to get it but it was going away from me and suddenly the figure of Bayek's son appeared behind him again. This time I stopped and got off the camel and the figure was still there for a moment.
I was riding around to see more strange thins and suddenly my attractions went towards some riders again and this time I was sure its a mirage and I thought they'd disappear if I get close to them and shoot them.
Instead of getting disappeared, all of them became ghost and fought me back. I took them all down and then I realized they were real peoples, and they were from the enemy camp nearby.
I was not ready to quit the desert yet so I was wandering around more and I suddenly noticed a boy/man in a white dress was pointing to somewhere from a distance. He disappeared when I went close and then I was riding to where he pointed at.
That took me to this place where I noticed a dead body (body of that boy/man who pointed this place to me) and there were some snakes guarding both the body and some treasures around.
After shooting down the snakes, I looted the treasures.
And at last I decided to get back to civilization, after my hectic experience that I gathered from the isolated desert. I look forward to go there and try finding more mirage in the near future.
The sun was going down when I reached the burned village where I reached last before getting to the desert. It was a beautiful sunset scene as you can see.
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.
