I was done assassinating the harbor master, but I decided to take down all the remaining soldiers before leaving. I used uncaged cougars to thin the enemy ranks and finished the survivors with air assassinations and melee. Finally, I dived underwater to retrieve a key for a locked gear chest.
I was done assassinating the harbor master, but I was not done having fun around the restricted area. So I decided to take down all the soldiers around before leaving the place.
I noticed there were two soldiers at the bank of the river, so I went for them while they were distracted. I noticed there was a third one nearby, but fortunately he was turned away, so I could assassinate all three of them without any noise.
Then I noticed there were two cougars caged near the center of the camp, likely kept as trophies by the guards. I uncaged them to see if I could use them to attack the remaining soldiers around the area and create a distraction.
But when I tried to lure them towards the enemies, the cougars tried to attack me instead of the soldiers. I hardly dodged its attack, noticing how its claws narrowly missed my shoulder.
Then I noticed my trick actually worked when an enemy soldier got attacked by the cougars and got killed as well during the confusion. The cats attacked with incredible speed, took the guard down real fast.
I lured the cougars to another site where a soldier started blowing his horn to alert the others. The sound echoed through the harbor. Then I climbed on a roof to watch the show.
I was not looking for a fight with the cats myself, so I climbed up on a roof from where I could see the cougars clearly. I watched them taking them down one by one, with the soldiers struggling to defend themselves against the wild fury. The rooftops provided the perfect vantage point to stay safe.
But there was one soldier who survived the animal attack, whom I took down with an air assassination later. And then I found there was one more whom I also assassinated with my hidden blade.
Then I went to another site of the harbor where I found more soldiers patrolling the lower docks. One by one they came to fight me and I took them all down in melee attacks.
There was a chest that required a key to open and I realized the key was underwater, stuck among the shipwrecks. So I dived underwater and found the key. Then I opened the chest to get the hidden gears. The new equipment felt heavy and well-crafted in my hands.
Then I noticed there was another cage with two wild cougars at the far end of the pier. I opened up the cage door and I ran away, leaving them into open air to cause whatever trouble they wished.
Until next time, happy gaming.

That harbor cleanup was so satisfying to read. It is funny how the cougars tried to go for you first. It was great that you dodged those claws just in time to let them do your dirty work.
I honestly enjoyed how this mission shifted from a clean assassination into complete chaos inside the harbor. Instead of simply escaping after killing the harbormaster, you turned the entire restricted area into your BATTLEGROUND.
Watching the soldiers struggle against the wild cats from the roof looked like the perfect way to finish a mission. I just loved the tactical approach.
The rooftop part was my favorite part because it made you like a true predator watching over the harbor. Staying above the chaos while soldiers panicked below and cougars hunted through the camp created a really cinematic assassin atmosphere.
