![](https://images.ecency.com/DQme1BaFn59cKDCb3P6ZkHahUCdwTrjtY2j6ppVrBfLirQZ/ac_origins.png) I returned to Letopolis to settle things with Taharqa, only to find him revealed as the Scarab. Moving through rooftops and traps, I picked off guards, fought heavy defenders, and confronted Taharqa directly. In the end his betrayal cost him his life and I walked away bloodied. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmbD43jnjgSwPBULPgny95kLYXCfcnbRw96Ukv2NDbqxgf/ac_origins_1_.jpg) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmQWxtsXm8sLgXz47EYnxiLGUBbmZmunxjwJbFKJBuBBiN/ac_origins_2_.jpg) I rode to Letopolis after retrieving my gears as I had an unfinished business with Taharqa, aka the Scarab. And after getting to the location, I had to be careful this time as its not a friendly place for me anymore. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmaxpptLqfy4nHD26CdTPThisHTkpb6qbtCyYgdSiswECi/ac_origins_3_.jpg) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmPM6ZAMkRHiVoiEXj9p7BWmBkiN5WT2coWaw5NWpuRGqb/ac_origins_4_.jpg) I noticed a lot of guards around but I was not gonna fight them all, I decided to get to the Scarab and assassinate him directly. But there were some guards that I had to eliminate on my way towards my target. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmNNBLpeotWe7WPdbABZLkhuRTAFGQercCWxKVN61muCqH/ac_origins_5_.jpg) I noticed there was this brazier above a roof and I set a trap on it first so the mission don't get harder later, with reinforcements. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmcPbBpGT6JmShr5RS55NE6SE3M4sXFPqxMUX3x5GbhqZD/ac_origins_6_.jpg) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmdKTCTRZS2g6JvTA3TgG4ZjcaVD6NdtCniEre9u6ZfiUf/ac_origins_7_.jpg) I shot another guard with an arrow there. Then I noticed one more of them at the other side of the roof, whom I eliminated when a heavy guard went to the other side, near the other dead body. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmZE9ZGRQqkCVTsBSHBvdTc1zHc7Hfyi4oZkXT2fpwqhWS/ac_origins_8_.jpg) I went close to that heavy guard knowing he'd look for me after seeing the dead body and he was doing it. I took cover there first to understand his movements. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmXUfHJb6BV6DhbRScdNF4kcmsJjrKpGoXi2a1PtcZR37v/ac_origins_9_.jpg) I decided to try an silent assassination on him so I went to him quietly and look how Bayek was assassinating a target. Such a lol glitch. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmbdzvoA6L9VLTNNfv92Kgh4f9HpS5EYmdVJeArBD4eyam/ac_origins_10_.jpg) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmdmcNYP24eeHPKjuzkEVCgg7wHvJy9kM1ffbjB9vRgNPy/ac_origins_11_.jpg) Well, the heavy guard didn't die this easily, I had to fight him more and to take down a heavy guard, I changed my weapon and tried a heavy weapon. The guard kept screaming to call for help but he didn't get any, sadly. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmZSWSoEtqSUfkCPRPbykcWFTHWA9hjSai9GEBEvq3zdnD/ac_origins_12_.jpg) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmSUuvAMVdqD939HW1zB7Z5HSxCnz31vP8AzZfyWGoS5YV/ac_origins_13_.jpg) After taking down the heavy guard, I had eyes on my main target, how was like chanting or something below there. I couldn't try an air assassination from there so I was looking for another way. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmWFf4KHhX9NeAu4cPbhsm1c9Sc2NEgHbmbjPYkt6YeeEM/ac_origins_14_.jpg) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmQtn6LM9BtpofVXWJgFnAh2ua96CQHSFucuDKpej2hL3f/ac_origins_15_.jpg) But there were some guards who came to me first and before they could call anyone or warn the Scarab, I took them down and look what I was smashing at the end. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmNfjNkFSCVgAQiFWG7B4tvun1Aq1YWYjtbRg9XRgjFYvD/ac_origins_16_.jpg) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmTexdNoVHjnBHVr8Qe5psUaDvYdqpFkYo98qWBamWTos6/ac_origins_17_.jpg) I had to be careful not to warn the Scarab as he may try to escape. After getting close to him on the above, I jumped on him and tried to air assassinate him when there were guards around. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmZ47ACMEvW3Qodeig3BBYpSCJSrceSYDw2hKvK8vwVjfJ/ac_origins_18_.jpg) Man didn't die from my blade, so he tried to fight me back but I didn't let him much chance in fighting me. I kinda smashed him with the big weapon. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmUqT21P8ushNDf4bR1fQyJjDBjU7u4X1pMYTdQfiW8DPv/ac_origins_19_.jpg) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmZ3wSNZkiBn94g3gkQ3gHp2sQMNtgmfKW1TmqgmKpX3KK/ac_origins_20_.jpg) When the Scarab was laying low, there came the guards to fight me and I took care of them before confirming the death of my primary target. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmPCEyfzJXv9xDn4sQGaGBGcCzSKbd1ZTZupsyxWyTduCp/ac_origins_21_.jpg) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmbSxYQUFpE8oNqjrFWc7ZqiZz3qDkzH1QuKK7r2x1BK1H/ac_origins_22_.jpg) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmfQr7ucHLqDutqpY44Ao3ehkcphqvEiSxNqvRENbEkP3x/ac_origins_23_.jpg) There came a lot more guards, both heavy guards and regular guards and I took them all down. I even tried some overpower kills there. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmZP2DwswfWDcDbC5cfLYbhKDuzpgjg2j9zuKhT2XqCy1U/ac_origins_24_.jpg) Then I went to the Scarab and made sure he died. So the man whom I thought a good companion, became my enemy and I had to make my hands dirty with his blood. --- I'll show more of my photographic journey of the games soon, so stay tuned to my blog if you liked them. ![23tRvMuLRERuPePNhyEjtaKt46FiKwDBgwVqqAberwmEFA36fPkh2ad6wvB1RYNKTVezR.png](https://images.hive.blog/0x0/https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/gamingphoto/23tRvMuLRERuPePNhyEjtaKt46FiKwDBgwVqqAberwmEFA36fPkh2ad6wvB1RYNKTVezR.png) The screenshots are taken by me personally from my gameplay and I borrowed the game's logo from [DevianArt](https://www.deviantart.com/).
