![]() I crouched and snuck underneath, winding along the edge of the building as I made my way back around, keeping an eye out for anyone I’d missed. There I noticed a crawl space below the building, right under the porch. I didn’t see a single person along the way, so I dropped down at the end of the makeshift path, landing behind a tree. Once more, I took to the rooftops, carefully sneaking around to the other end. I didn’t see anyone obvious ahead, but with my reduced health bar, I would have to be careful. ![]() This area was safe for now, but the path was long and narrow, bordered by the building and the pond. However, it seemed he'd gotten used to my erratic movements, and I took a couple of arrows in the chest for my trouble. With one soldier remaining, I dashed to the archer, doing my best to continue dodging. But in a duel between the two of us, there was no question as to who was superior, even with the incendiary arrows coming my way. I zig-zagged across the ground, dodging this way and that out of the arrows' way and dancing over to my fellow swordsman. Then there were two: one firing from his bow and the other slashing towards me with a blade of his own. ![]() I waited for someone to pursue me, but once the remaining soldiers calmed down and went back to patrolling the area, I moved around the building once more, rushing the archer and felling him with my blade before he could get a chance to retaliate. Unwilling to get hit, I landed on the group, getting a few hits in on the soldier that spotted me before high-tailing it back behind the bend where I'd fought my first archer in the area. But before I could even make my way across the next few roofs, one of the archers caught sight of me and prepared to fire an arrow. A moment later, I was back on the roof, crouching as I inched forward. As they grew nearer, I took my chance and leapt down, skewering one and making quick work of the other. Even with my brand new healing ability that would activate upon each successful Deathblow, I wasn't confident that I could make it through them unscathed.īefore making my move, however, I spied two soldiers approaching my side of the clearing and decided that I might as well thin the herd before exploring. Noting that a fair few members of the group had the same flaming arrows as the archer I'd ran into, I decided to attempt sneaking across the top level. Thankfully, the water itself wasn't lit ablaze. Even so, I couldn't avoid the heat entirely the fire left me only two ways forward: run around the front edges of the buildings on the right or jump down to the roughly five soldiers milling about next to a large pond. Sticking the landing, I was surprised to find that there was still so much space to run up there without finding myself engulfed in flames. Up ahead, there seemed to be more soldiers, but there was also a roof I could grapple to. I was able to get over my surprise first and send blow after blow his way until I could snuff him out. Thankfully, he didn't seem to expect to see me any more than I had expected to find him. I wasn't sure, but I thought I was starting to sense a theme. Around one corner, I came face-to-face with an archer holding flaming arrows. With the rest of the area behind me, I was only a few steps away from getting to the ending of this memory…įrom the Sculptor's Idol, I made my way between the burning buildings, searching for a way forward. Last time, I had finally made my way into the heart of the Hirata Estate, only to find that it was just as on fire as the rest of the place, if not more.
