Basim left Baghdad when he was not strong, and he had to leave the city where he spent his entire life for something he wasn't aware of. Now that he got a chance to get back to Baghdad again after being an Assassin, it'll be excited for sure.
After the long journey to Baghdad, Basim was happy to see his birthplace when Roshan and Fuladh were waiting for him to get to the Bureau. But Basim said he'd explore around the place before going for the Bureau so Roshan and Fuladh left him there on the desert.
My objective was to locate the Bureau but I decided to explore around as Basim wanted that also, so I got on my mount and I started riding it around till I found these guards messing up with the poor man there.
I had to keep running from them before but now I'm a well trained Assassin so I should've shown them what I can do and besides, I tried to check out my fighting skill also.
I was riding towards the city now and suddenly I noticed these Flamingos flying above me when I was riding there and its definitely an awesome moment.
Then I found those dead bodies hanged where their families were crying. Basim was mentioning he knows this pain and he shall remedy it. I could understand the revenge fire Basim was holding in his heart.
Through Qutrabbul Gate, I reached Harbiyah territory when Basim was noticing the familiar sights again and after greeting Baghdad, he was asking Baghdad to show him what he missed.
There was this lady shopkeeper whom I met and viewed shop items. She only had skins for my ride and eagle that I didn't want to buy and I didn't have the required money also.
Then I noticed this bounty poster there which is about looking for me/Basim. I had an option to tear it apart and its a feature of Assassin's Creed game from the second installment, I guess. There were more of these posters and every time I was fighting the guards around the city, I got more.
Its like I can erase police cases by tearing these posters down.
I got confused at a point so I called this eagle named Enkidu and I started flying as the bird to locate objectives and mark them so I can reach the spots easily as Basim. I'm not sure but I guess this eagle feature has been added to the game from Origins.
I was looking around and suddenly went inside this metal factory without knowing where I was going and the guards there came to fight me just because I entered there.
I taught them a great lesson so they know who they were dealing with.
I met this shopkeeper on my way to the Bureau and she was a tailor. I had the option to buy or upgrade my outfits from her but I didn't have the money for it so I just left the place.
And at last I found the Bureau after looking for it for quite some times and I got surprised seeing this entrance that's an exact match of the Bureau of Assassin's Creed 1 where the protagonist was Altair.
So this is Harbiyah Bureau where I joined Roshan and Fuladh. Basim was mentioning he was expecting some sort of hovel as the Hidden Ones Bureau. Fuladh said some Bureaus are as Basim expected when others can be fitted with gold trim.
Roshan talked about her findings and said Nur was in contact with someone named Beshi, a name that Roshan recognize as one of Ali's closest allies withing the rebel collective, a dock worker at the upper harbor.
Roshan suggested me to check on him as he may have something to tell us about Ali's disappearance.
I had to meet Nur's contact Beshi at the dyeing factory following the lead but before that, I noticed that viewpoint so I started climbing the tower to synchronize with it.
Synchronizing with the viewpoints unlocks fast travel and unveil part of the map but that's not what I'm attracted to with these features, I like the views that I get from the viewpoints. And look I did a perfect leap of faith jump there.
