Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Immediately after regaining control, backtrack through the door to the previous combat encounter. Enter the next door on the right to find a Survival Cache [03/03] against the back wall.
  2. 2
    Return to the Base Camp and approach it to unlock the 'Tower Courtyard' Base Camp. Use this to apply upgrades and spend skill points.
  3. 3
    In the tent to the left of the Base Camp, find a pile of Byzantine Coins, a Document [07/10 – Greek] on the tables, and a hanging Walkie-talkie [Cut Short 06/06] to destroy. To the right of the exit, down a short ramp, find a body with an Archivist’s Map.
  4. 4
    Fight your way down the narrow corridor to the west. Take cover and prioritize the enemies charging with knives. Use bottles to craft Molotovs if desired. In the far-left corner by the exit, find a Document [08/10 - Greek].
  5. 5
    Enter the room at the end of the corridor. A shield-carrying enemy will enter from the opposing entrance. Use a Grenade Arrow to defeat them quickly. Loot another Grenade Arrow from the room after the fight. Stock up on Ammo and Arrows.
  6. 6
    Proceed up the hallway the shield enemy came from and crawl under the door at the end.
  7. 7
    As soon as you are on the far side, shoot the group of three enemies ahead with a Poison Arrow. This will trigger a large number of enemies (10-12) to drop from the arches opposite the entrance.
  8. 8
    If you have Mushrooms, use Poison Arrows in each archway to create poison clouds that instantly kill enemies as they enter. Craft additional Poison Arrows while the effects are active.
  9. 9
    If your Mushroom supply is low, use Grenade Arrows and explosive barrels found in the room.
  10. 10
    After defeating the initial waves, an armored commando and a shield bearer will enter. Use Grenade Arrows or other weapons to quickly defeat them.
  11. 11
    Killing these two enemies will trigger a cut-scene, completing the mission.
Tips
  • The game becomes very shooty from this point on; always take cover and loot Ammo and Arrows after every encounter.
  • Don't be afraid to use Grenade Arrows, especially on groups of enemies or those with shields.
  • If you have enough Mushrooms, Poison Arrows are highly effective against the large waves of enemies in the final room.
  • Looting Grenade Arrows and utilizing explosive barrels are good alternatives if Mushrooms are scarce.
