One Final Counsel	The Last Journey

1. Infiltrate The Palace

Step 1: Enter Through The Crack In The Walls

After speaking to Roshan, head towards the western side of the palace walls and enter the palace grounds through a large crack in the walls.

Step 2: Pay The Musician and The Eunuch

Once inside, continue north a short distance to spot a Musician. Bribe her with 1 Scholar's Favor Token and she will lure 3 of the 4 guards away from the servant's quarters entrance.

Dispatch the lone guard at the entrance and head inside to speak to a Eunuch. Offer the Eunuch a total of 4 Merchant's Favor Tokens to gain entry to the palace as well as the Caliphal Palace Master Key.

2. Find Qabiha

Step 1: Eavesdrop On The Guards

Walk into the palace and turn left to see a hiding spot near some guards that you can eavesdrop.

Hide in the wooden box and listen to the conversation which will reveal the location of Qabiha's son.

Step 2: Pickpocket The Caliphal Palace Baths Key

Wait for the two chatty guards to walk away and cross the hallway to find a locked door to the palace baths and the guard holding the key.

Wait for the guard to walk a short distance and sit down on a stool. Basim can easily pickpocket him once he's taken his seat.

Step 3: Enter The Palace Baths

Unlock the door to the palace baths and climb through the opening above to play a cutscene.

Step 4: Enter The Palace Library

The palace library is located on the upper levels of the palace, behind a locked door. The Caliphal Palace Master Key obtained from the Eunuch can unlock the doors.

Alternatively Basim can look around the upper levels and locate Makira to play a cutscene. Once the cutscene is over, Basim can follow Makira to the library, and she will unlock the doors herself.

3. Find Qabiha's Hidden Chamber

After entering the library, collect the pile of books from the table on the right side of the room.

From there, head up the stairs to locate the colored book puzzle.

Place the books on the pedestals from right to left, starting with the blue book, then yellow, black, and white in that order.

4. Assassinate Qabiha

Once the entrance to the hidden chambers open, take the ladder going down and open the door marked by the objective marker.

Opening the door will trigger a chasing sequence, so prepare to run.

5. Pursue Qabiha

Pursue Qabiha as she attempts to run away from Basim. The chase will end shortly after it begins, once Basim enters the palace baths that Abu 'Abdallah is found in.

6. Escape The Palace

Once the cutscene ends, guards will swarm into the room, so get ready to run past them.

Run out of the palace, avoiding any guards that attempt to block your path.

Once Basim is out of the palace, become anonymous to complete the mission.
