Coins and Daggers

The next stop on our journey is to speak to Rebekah over at the Karkh Bureau. This is a fair distance away so head on over and once more, proceed to the rooftop to find the Bureau entrance.

Head inside and speak to Rebekah. She’ll encourage you to head into the Auction, but we also need to join Roshan outside to proceed further.

After the cutscene, go outside and follow Roshan. There’s a fair amount of walking so listen to Basim reminisce about the past before arriving at your destination.

 

Coin, Corruption, and Tea

We now have multiple cases to tackle, so let’s crack right on. From The Bazaar’s location, head out the back and you’ll find Kong in the courtyard talking loudly. Follow him over to his stall. In order to get anything from Kong, we need to retrieve his tea leaves from the guards.

These leaves are held up in a fortified building with guards swarming all over just down the road from this location. Head to the back and lure the guards out by whistling and assassinating them round the corner, being careful not to alert anyone.

Alternatively, you can just go in completely gung-ho and kill all the guards too, it’s your choice. If you’ve chosen Smoke Bombs as your tool of choice, this is also an excellent option, as you can spray the area with smoke, head up the ladder unseen and take off with the gear.

Either way, head up the stairs and pull the shelf out the way. Unbar the door and you’ll find a crate of Kong’s tea leaves. Take them back to the merchant and head inside to the back.

This little mission is simply a taster of what’s to come. Kong wants his items back from the warehouse nearby in exchange for gaining entry to the auction.

When you leave, speak to Luca by the pillar, as he happens to know where the warehouse is. If you give him a Merchant Token, he’ll show you the exact location. Failing that, use your Eagle to hone in on the location of the warehouse, which is located east, near the water.

When you arrive at the Confiscation Warehouse, you’ll find guards all around. You need to gain 3 pieces of information on the Harbormaster in order to learn of his location too.

Toward the north, crouch behind a crate and you’ll find a lift taking you up to the rooftop. From here, jump down and take out the guard on the level below patrolling. Spin the camera around and head inside the open doorway.

In here is another guard so assassinate him and investigate the table, where you’ll find a letter about Stolen Goods. Opposite this, at the back and outside, you’ll find a red tent and numerous guards sitting around. The second clue is on the table.

The third clue is on the far side of the camp, where you’ll find another desk on the ground floor with instructions from the Harbormaster.

There’s nothing else for it; we now need to kill the Harbormaster. You’ll find him in the Harbor Camp, with guards all around.

You can pick these guys off one by one, and be sure to use a throwing knife to drop the crate down to kill the two huddled together. The actual harbormaster can be located up on the balcony surrounded by spice, overlooking the water. Try to approach from the opposite side so you don’t attract attention.

Jump down and assassinate the harbormaster, or alternatively take out the two goons either side with throwing knives first, it’s your choice.

With the Harbormaster defeated, head inside the room behind them (south in the picture above) and unbar the door, being sure to check out the note about the auction on the way.

Return to Kong at the Bazaar and feed back what’s happened. In exchange, he’ll hand over a scroll for entry into the auction.

 

Of Toil and Taxes

With half of our lead now completed, it’s time to turn our attention to the other. We need to investigate threats in the Bazaar. You’ll overhear that some stalls have been ransacked by guards. The location to learn more is actually where the guards are congregated around.

Head up to higher ground, via the stairwell near the entrance to the indoor Bazaar area, and you’ll overhear someone shouting for help.

Hang on the scaffolding overhead and jump down, being sure to assassinate the captain first. The other guards you’ll need to fight in general combat but given they don’t have shields, this is the easiest way to do it.

After, speak to the Perfume Merchant. She’ll discuss stranded merchants and ask for help in tracking them down. They’re on the road south of Baghdad so head out the city and mount up.

Follow the marker down to see the Lead Merchant. After talking to him, investigate the local area. First, investigate the severed horse’s head. There’s also a Merchant in grey next to the head, and also a Merchant in blue that you need to speak to.

Across the shallow river, approach the cart full of carpets and just to the left, you’ll find a note with guard instructions.

Be sure to loot the chest just behind this though, which happens to hold 33x Steel Ingot, 2x Components and 8x Leather. 

After all of this, return to the Lead Merchant. Mount up and follow the merchants back to the city gates. On the way, attackers will show and ambush you. Take these guys out, mount back up with the merchants and continue on. 

Once you arrive, speak to the Lead Merchant again. He’ll give you instructions to take out the Tax Collector, Al-Anqa. 

 

Assassinate Al-Anqa (The Toll Of Greed)

Our mission now turns to taking this Tax Collector out. You’ll find him at his mansion, surrounded by guards. You don’t need to kill every guard here, but a good idea is to start from the rooftop and work your way down.

You’ll find an armoured archer up here so take this guy out and cross over the rafters to take a man out by the walls. There’s also a chest out in the courtyard holding 17x Leather, 24x Steel Ingot and 3x Components.

However, our real target is the door on the right hand side to the front of the mansion (pictured below)

Head inside and assassinate Al-Anqa. When you do, open the chest just next to him to collect the Abbasid Knight Outfit. There’s also a letter on the table, along with another on the ground level. Finally, our third clue is outside back in the courtyard next to the chest we looted earlier (pictured below).

Once we’ve collected all of this, it’s time to return to Roshan for a debrief.
