Was in that town near Pephka, trying to find Ardos’ surrogate dad/mom and get the key for the minotaur (still ain’t found the fukker yet
).
Some little old lady asks me to kill a camp of Athenians (am I the only one who accepts all missions, regardless of affiliation?).
I’m down for a quick side quest!
Get about 100 clicks from the camp, call Ikiaros, and notice something I’ve never seen in all my years of playing Assassin’s Creed: about 30-35 Lynx cats, swarming 50 clicks away from the camp.
No special weapons near them, no Athenian storage huts. No leveling-up incentive whatsoever to fukk with these ornery ass animals. Just teeth and claws and teeth and claws and fur.
Saw that shyt and immediately recalled my eagle to make sure I was hiding in a bush instead of riding horseback out in the open.
What do I do next?
Ride horseback right into the middle of the Lynx horde. Hop off my horse, and walk/dodge towards the Athenian camp.
By the time I get to the camp, the entire hord has abandoned trying to eat me and run into the camp. fukkery overload. Soldiers stabbing cats. Cats trying to claw soldiers. Cats ignoring soldiers to sit/eat near the bodies they’ve already killed.
The three prisoners at the camp are begging someone to save them before they get eaten.
And I’m just chilling on a perch at the camp, watching nature take its course.
Lynx cats killed all the soldiers. I jumped off my perch, jumped back on Phobos, equipped my Legendary spear, and Bravehearted every cat still breathing. Then told that little old lady I killed all those Athenians.
The sheer volume of organic interactions this game allows for is so ill brehs.
