Mission:Tip - The Failed Ransom

The Failed Ransom

Alignment Mission

You come across a briefcase filled with unmarked, foreign currency. Inside you also find a note:

Androleve, I am trusting you will do job smoothly. You give money only when my brother is safely in your hands. If Arachnos has harmed single hair of Dmitrev, then I swear we will bring hammer down on them like bugs! - Gorzky

It seems you've come across a hostage exchange involving a sizeable amount of money. Not only that, it looks like it's involving some foreign agency and Arachnos... and a lot of threats.

What was that saying? The enemy of my enemy is my friend...

Villain: Foil the ransom attempt

Judging by the amount of money being swapped for this Gorzky's brother, it's safe to assume there is similar power backing up his threats regarding his brother's safety. If you were to see this ransom through up to the point where you're in the vicinity of his brother, you could see to it that Gorzky's fears come true.

The the cost of one life, you could get an entire foreign power to give Arachnos a taste of their own medicine.

Besides, it's not like Gorzky's brother probably didn't deserve to be kidnapped in some way or form. You can't associate with criminal forces without becoming one yourself. And it's your job to wipe those lowlifes from the face of this world...

• Turn this unknown foreign power against Arachnos

The rest of the instructions in the briefcase detail the location of the ransom and the details of how the ransom is supposed to happen. All you need to do is walk in there, act as if you're working for whoever these guys are, and get close to Gorzky's brother. One clean hit is all that'll be needed to see to it that Gorzky pursues a blood debt against these tyrants.

Unnecessary Solicitation

The longer you wait to carry out this ransom, the more suspicious Arachnos is going to get. All you need to do is walk in there, act as if you're working for whoever these guys are, and get close to Gorzky's brother. One clean hit is all that'll be needed to see to it that Gorzky pursues a blood debt against these tyrants.

Mission Objective(s)

So far so good. You're going to need to deal with the guard who's on the lookout. If you can - convince- him to give you the all clear, you should be able to find the mediator who's doing the exchange.

• Subdue the Ransom Guard
  • Speak to the Ransom Guard
  • Find the Fortunata Mistress

You have assassinated Gorzky's brother by using Arachnos's own technology. There's no way Gorzky won't believe that Arachnos did it themselves.

Debriefing

Although it's dirty work, you've managed to widen a rift between Arachnos and a foreign power. Yes, you had to assassinate a defenseless person in order to do it. However, sometimes you have to fight fire with fire.

Or in this case, with poison.
