Overview

The Hand of a Daughter is a stealth mission for Geremio and Simone. Both Spies must survive, and each guard must be removed quickly before nearby troops raise the alarm.

Plan and execution

Move through the stream and use the Spies’ short sight range carefully, approaching one guard at a time. When a threat appears, focus it immediately and leave before the alarm spreads. Rescue the allied Man-at-Arms and other Spy if possible, then use the safe openings to disrupt the camp and send the false report. Keep the pair close enough to support one another without exposing both to the same patrol.

Risks and adaptation

If a guard survives for too long, nearby soldiers converge and can overwhelm the Spies. Their high attack does not compensate for poor visibility, so avoid blind movement and do not sacrifice one Spy to test a patrol.
