I utilized Senu to locate a hippo for necessary leather, leading to an intense boat chase where I exhausted my arrows. After a melee finish on the shore, I traveled to Faiyum to hunt for bronze. I engaged a resilient soldier but was forced to flee toward the river when reinforcements arrived.
Before going for bronze, I decided to collect more hard leather as I needed more for my upgrades. I started flying as Senu again and I noticed a hippo swimming in the water who had exactly what I needed.
I rowed to a bank of the river and I took a boat to get to the hippo as fast as I could. I wanted to close the distance before he could leave my sight or dive deeper into the water.
After getting close, I started shooting the hippo with arrows, but instead of attacking back, the hippo was just trying to escape. I kept following him across the water and realized I had lost all my arrows.
After getting sure I could melee attack him, I jumped off the boat and followed him to the shore. Right beside the dangerous enemy territory where I died recently, I took down the hippo and grabbed the leather.
I then decided to look for some bronze and fast-travelled to Faiyum to find more materials. After checking around for a point of interest, I jumped off the high point to begin my search on the ground.
My target was a lonely soldier riding a horse, so I took this opportunity to attack him. I quickly understood he was not an easy kill, so I kept using my shield to block his arrows while attacking back.
At a point, my enemy got some of his people to attack me, so I decided to escape their wrath. They kept chasing me relentlessly, so I was running towards the river to escape the growing numbers of soldiers.
When I noticed there was only one enemy left around and he was not so mighty, I went back. I assassinated him using only my hidden blade and finished my hunt in Faiyum for the time being.
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.

The hippo chase across the river was very exciting and different. Running out of arrows made the hunt more dangerous, and finishing it with melee near enemy territory was real courage.
It definitely turned into a bigger challenge than I expected.
When the reinforcements arrived, escaping to the river was a smart move. Coming back to assassinate the last enemy with the hidden blade was very satisfying.
Sometimes retreating for a second makes all the difference.
I can't believe that hippo led you on such a long chase! It's always a bit stressful when you realize you've run out of arrows in the middle of a hunt.
I definitely should have checked my arrows earlier.

Taking down that soldier after he called for backup must have been satisfying. It's always fun to turn the tables on them once the numbers thin out.
That part was fun to play through, not going to lie.
I love how you're prioritizing your gear upgrades. It should make such a huge difference in combat once you get your gears upgraded.
Thanks, I think it will make a solid difference soon.
