Quest Group: Hunted (Legacy of the First Blade)
Category: Legacy Quest
Prerequisites: To play this quest, you must first complete the quest Hunting the Huntsman.
With Neema's help, Alexios discovered the Huntsman's lair was located in an ominous Makedonian glade. He moved in for the kill, not knowing what terrible truths he was about to uncover...
Go to the place marked on the map. When you get there, Huntsman will start talking to you. You will not see him but only hear him.
At some point his guards will appear and you will have to deal with them.
Once you have dealt with all the guards, you will stand face to face with the Huntsman and after a short conversation the fight against him will begin.
Move a lot and avoid area attacks (large red circles on the ground) at all costs. The Huntsman will use a smokescreen from time to time to make him disappear and then very poorly visible (semi-transparent). Try to locate and hit him as quickly as possible, for example, by observing from which side the arrows are coming. An additional difficulty may be a mercenary.
When you take off 50% of his life he will disappear and the next phase will begin.
The Huntsman escaped to a cave. You can get inside through a narrow gap.
When you jump down, the fight against Huntsman will continue.
As before, the Huntsman will use a smoke screen. There won't be "big red circles" anymore, but you will be disturbed by extra wolves.
When the fight is over, Darius will appear and you will learn a little about his real name and past.
Return to the hideout and speak with Darius and Neema about the future.
Rewards: Epic XP, Legendary Drachmae, Edge of Time (Legendary Dagger), Persian Elite Band (Legendary Head).
After completing this quest, you will be able to play the quest Stranger Tides.
