Stealth into the camp

The stealth in this mission is rather unusual, as it abides by the LARP's rules. Your character drank an invisibility potion in-game, which means you will only alert enemies in very specific situations.

  1. You can let the enemies see you freely - what they can't see is you attacking someone.
  2. Sneak up on enemies from behind and execute non-lethal takedowns. Before using a takedown make sure no one's looking at the enemy you're eliminating.
