Mission Text:
“Meet Fuladh in the Sharqiyah Bureau.”
There are two Bureaus in Karkh. Make sure you go to the one in the northeast corner, with Fuladh as the Bureau administrator. When you arrive, Ali and Beshi are in a heated discussion about the rebels taken from Jarjaraya.
The investigation starts with the Jarjaraya case. Three more cases are revealed as you go, and they all lead to the Order member behind the missing rebels.
1 – Jarjaraya – Investigate the Teahouse
Case Text:
“The executed rebels were taken from Jarjaraya, Ali’s village.”
Follow Ali to Jarjaraya
The marker takes you to Ali at the gate, just outside Baghdad’s city walls and southeast of the Bureau. There are two horses nearby. Follow Ali on your mount to the village of Jarjaraya, outside Baghdad.
In the village, Ali dismounts and leads you up to the roof of a house. Talk to him there for the mission briefing.
Jarjaraya is also your starting point for the treasure of the Solve This Problem Quickly For Me Enigma, which is in Palm Grove, northwest of the village.
After the cutscene, the case updates: patrons at the Teahouse might know something. The objective marker points to the south of the village. There are 3 clues to find at the Teahouse, and with Assassin Focus they glow in bright orange.
The most obvious one is the Teahouse Elder, the old man standing in front of the house. Talk to him first. He asks for a gift: you can give him one Merchant Favor Token or leave. You don’t need to pay the token, because the gift is on the roof.
Teahouse Clue 1 – Sober Up the Drunk Man
Exit the Teahouse through the back door. With Assassin Focus, you see a body lying on the floor in bright orange. Listen to the conversation nearby and you get the option to Sober up the drunk man. A cutscene takes care of the rest.
The drunk man tells you that a lot of slaves are missing in Jarjaraya and more people have gone missing.
Teahouse Clue 2 – Teahouse Elder Gift
Climb to the top roof of the Teahouse and interact with the orange glowing box. You pick up some precious tea, the perfect gift for the Teahouse Elder.
Climb back down and give the tea to the Teahouse Elder at the front of the Teahouse. This is the second clue.
Teahouse Clue 3 – The Teahouse Owner
Right after this conversation, the Teahouse owner wants to talk to you. He is standing in front of the house. Follow him to the back of the Teahouse and talk to him for the last clue: the son of a Zanj widow is missing.
You now have two map locations: the Widow’s Farm and Ali’s village. Before you start the widow’s case, return to Ali and Beshi. They are interrogating someone inside a nearby house, so just follow the marker. The cutscene closes the Jarjaraya case. Then open the investigation tab and select Widow’s Farm.
2 – Widow’s Farm – Like Father, Like Son
Case Text:
“Find and speak to the Widow.”
This case starts the quest Like Father, Like Son. The widow’s house is in the west of Jarjaraya. When you get close to the marker, use Eagle Vision to find her. The map screenshot below shows the exact spot.
Wait for the widow to finish her conversation with another woman, then speak to her.
Pick the White Flowers for the Widow
The widow wants you to pick flowers for her husband at a spot northwest of her house. When you see a farm destroyed by fire, you are in the right place. Behind a ruined building is a field of white flowers with snakes in it.
The easiest way is to activate Assassin Focus and kill the snakes with a throwing knife or a blowdart before you pick the flowers.
Follow the Tracks to the Widow’s Son
Return to the widow with the flowers. She tells you what happened to her husband and that she now fears for her son. After the conversation, activate Assassin Focus and look for tracks on the path near her house. Follow them, they also give off a red glow.
The tracks lead to a building just south of the widow. With Assassin Focus, you can see that the front door is barred and there is a movable shelf at the back in bright orange. Go around the back and move the shelf to the right to get inside. On a table is a letter from the widow’s son.
Return to the widow and talk to her about the letter. This closes the Widow’s Farm case and reveals Dogan’s Farm, which you can’t select yet.
3 – Informant – Tail the Informant at the Harbor
Case Text:
“Someone at the harbor in Jarjaraya is informing on the rebels.”
Wait for Daytime at the Harbor
Head to the harbor of Jarjaraya as shown by the quest marker. When you are close enough, the marker disappears, so use Eagle Vision to focus on the location.
The informant is only there in the daytime and runs away when he sees you. If it’s dark or you haven’t been careful enough, sit on a nearby bench to blend in and pass the time until morning. There is a bench near the water where the informant sits at first. If you can’t find one, benches are highlighted with Assassin Focus.
Tail the Informant to the Pier
Tail the informant stealthily using the roofs, tall grass and straw. He meets a soldier by a pier in a restricted area. You can stay hidden and pickpocket the soldier, or attack and kill him to get the information.
This reveals the name of the Order member at the center of the investigation, Dogan bin Arslan, and closes the Informant case.
4 – Where Is Dogan’s Farm – Rescue the Captured Rebels
Case Text:
“Rebel hunter Dogan bin Arslan takes captured slaves here.”
Return to Ali at his house, east of the pier where the informant met the soldier. Ali gives you the location of Dogan’s Farm, where you have to rescue the captured rebels.
Dogan’s Farm is in the east of Jarjaraya, across the river. It is a big restricted area with a lot of tall grass to hide in. There is only one marksman, at the top of the main farm building. Sneak close enough to take him out with a throwing knife or a blowdart, and Enkidu is safe for Eagle Vision.
Free the Rebels in the Cage
A group of rebels is kept in a cage a bit further away from the main building. You can free them while staying hidden: throw a knife at the destructible cage door.
Free the Widow’s Son in the House
Next, head to the main building. The widow’s son is kept on the second floor, guarded by a soldier. Climb up the house from the back, take care of the guard on the balcony, and use a corner assassination on the soldier guarding the son. Then free him.
Kill Dogan bin Arslan
Meet Ali just south of Dogan’s Farm. He leads the assault on Dogan bin Arslan and his guards. Follow Ali and fight alongside the rebels. Dogan is the soldier who looks like a captain.
Loot his body after the fight. He carries a letter called Dogan’s Orders, which reveals new targets for the next investigation: the Officers’ Club, Al-Rukh and Al-A’eshma.
With the death of Dogan bin Arslan, The Hunter investigation is concluded. Continue with the Officers’ Club in The Raptor and the Demon.
