A Venomous Encounter

After meeting with Perikles, you will be assigned three new quests. Start with the nearest one by finding Metiochos at his estate. You cannot enter through any door, so climb the building and jump down into the courtyard. Approach Metiochos by entering the only accessible room to the south-east.

Upon entering the room, kill the snakes surrounding Metiochos using basic light attacks.

Once the snakes are dead, untie Metiochos and speak with him. He will give you clues to find the thugs who attempted to kill him.

Go to the attackers' home, marked on your map. Kill three more snakes and interact with their corpses.

Climb up the house to inspect correspondence between the thugs and a beneficiary.

Go behind the house to inspect a dead body.

After investigating all three features, the thugs will arrive. You can question them to learn about a snake seller you must confront. The dialogue options will depend on your approach; you can choose a non-violent path to persuade them to repent and do good in their community.

Make your way to the snake seller located to the west of the city, outside the city walls.

As you approach the tent, be cautious of snakes hidden in the grass.

When fighting The Poisoner, avoid his attacks as he deals significant poison damage over time. Evade his incoming attacks and exploit openings in his attack pattern.
