I bribed the assistant of Fazil for information on the hidden passage and scouted the rooftop gardener with Enkidu. After overhearing rumors of a lost book that might serve as a key, I infiltrated the library's upper floors. Using lures and stealth, I eliminated several guards but found my progress blocked by a heavy soldier.
After getting the hint about the hidden passage, I went to talk to my target's assistant. He initially claimed to know nothing, but after I offered him some scholar tokens, he spilled the information I needed.
I reached a gatekeeper who demanded a passcode to let me through. Since I didn't have it, he refused to allow me past the gate, forcing me to find another way in.
I called Enkidu to scout the area for the gardener the scholars had mentioned earlier. Enkidu spotted him tending to a garden located on one of the high rooftops.
Without heading for the gardener just yet, I reached the floor directly above the gatekeeper. I managed to eavesdrop on two men discussing a lost book belonging to Fazil, which sounded like it might be the key to opening that gate.
I tried to slip inside to look for the book, but a soldier spotted me almost immediately. I had to make a quick escape and hide until the alert level went back down.
Once the guards gave up their search, I returned to the area. I moved through the shadows and assassinated two soldiers who were blocking my initial path.
I spotted another soldier who was relaxing on duty. I had to wait for the perfect opportunity to strike, as several other guards were patrolling uncomfortably close to his position.
When the moment was right, I took him down silently. I quickly hid the body in a nearby cabin to ensure no passing patrols would stumble upon my work.
I intentionally let one of the guards get a glimpse of me to draw him away from his post. When he came to investigate, I assassinated him from around a corner.
I hid in a wooden box and tried whistling to lure the remaining soldier over. He didn't respond much to the noise, and I couldn't risk a direct approach because there was a heavy soldier standing right next to him.
Until next time, happy gaming.

The bribe for the assistant paid off perfectly. Offering tokens to get him to spill information about the hidden passage was a classic way to bypass his initial silence and move the investigation forward. Well done there.
Yeah it totally paid off. Though I didn't hope for such an option.

It look like eavesdropping on the men discussing the lost book provided the exact clue you needed to handle the passcode issue without a direct confrontation. I'm guessing the lost book might give you the passcode the gatekeeper was looking for.
You're right about the last part.
At the end, you've reached a point where you'll need to rethink your approach to clear that final path. Why don't you try some throwing knives maybe?
Well, throwing knives wasn't enough to take them all down at once.
I liked the stealth gameplay in this video. Whistling and hiding bodies was smart planning. You didn't rush into fights and waited for the perfect moment to strike.
This is what an assassin should do, and you should know it well as you're also living ones life/.
