Player workbench
Reach the northwest Kingston outpost leader without confusing the required assassination with a possible 500 R stealth bonus.
The west face is a more exposed way onto the rock, and completing the kill may not satisfy the separate condition that earns an extra payout.
Why this entry is useful
A north-climb and bush staging route paired with a target-versus-bonus result check; it identifies the classic approach while keeping current marker and live bonus text authoritative.
Treat the north-side rock climb and bush as classic-route hints, not confirmed Resynced positions; confirm the active marker, patrol layout, and bonus wording in your save.
From cover, mark the leader and nearby patrols, then use the north-side climb to reach the upper rock and its bush staging point without crossing the exposed west approach.
The named target and base contract are complete; if the current brief offers a bonus, its separate result is visible in the save.
What are you trying to do with this entry?
Choose one decision and follow 3 checks in order.
- Read briefCheck the current bonus wording; classic listings report 500 R but do not establish the live condition.
- Stage northUse the northwest target marker, then compare the north rock climb and bush staging point with the current patrols.
- Prove resultAfter the strike, inspect the bonus result separately from target completion and base payout.
Start with the first check above and keep the confirmed area, marker, or objective beside the next move.
The west face is a more exposed way onto the rock, and completing the kill may not satisfy the separate condition that earns an extra payout.
The named target and base contract are complete; if the current brief offers a bonus, its separate result is visible in the save.
Keep the target and payout on separate proof lines
The north-side approach is a classic route lead. Use the live brief to decide whether an optional bonus changes the strike, then verify the target, base payout, and any bonus independently.
When the patrol sees the approach
Break line of sight behind the rock and return to a covered staging point. If the contract has closed, trust the displayed result and do not assume that replaying the same route restores an unawarded bonus.
Kingston board → north rock climb → result check
- At the board, confirm The Guard Post, the target marker, and the exact bonus wording. If the board or marker differs, follow the current save rather than searching the northwest rock from memory.
- Approach the raised platform from its north side, not the west path. The classic route uses the bush behind two guards as a staging point; use it only if the current marker and patrol layout still match.
- Wait for a safe strike window that satisfies the active brief, then leave by the covered line. Check contract closure, base payout, and any bonus result as separate states.
Route Plan
How to use The Guard Post
Open The Guard Post from Kingston's current Assassin Contracts board, confirm its target marker and bonus wording, then use the north-side rock climb only if the outpost still matches. The target kill, base payout, and possible stealth bonus are separate save checks.
- Select The Guard Post at the current Kingston contract board and confirm the target marker plus any bonus condition before leaving.
- Use the northwest rock and north-side climb as classic route leads; compare the bush staging point with the live patrol instead of crossing the exposed west path by habit.
- After the strike, check contract closure, base payout, and any separately listed bonus before opening another marker.

Open the named brief
Open the named brief
The contract board starts the job; the target marker, not the old map route, decides where this save sends Edward.
- Open Kingston's current Assassin Contracts board and select The Guard Post. Confirm the contract name and live target marker before leaving; the northwest outpost is a classic route lead, not a substitute for the marker.
- Eliminate the named outpost leader; preserve a separate bonus only if the current contract brief lists one.
- At the board, confirm The Guard Post, the target marker, and the exact bonus wording. If the board or marker differs, follow the current save rather than searching the northwest rock from memory.
Choose the target approach
Choose the target approach
Use the local landmark and patrol state to decide how to enter Northwest Kingston rock outpost.
- From cover, mark the leader and nearby patrols, then use the north-side climb to reach the upper rock and its bush staging point without crossing the exposed west approach.
- Approach the raised platform from its north side, not the west path. The classic route uses the bush behind two guards as a staging point; use it only if the current marker and patrol layout still match.
Keep the bonus separate
Keep the bonus separate
A target kill can close the contract while its extra payout remains unearned. Check the active condition and final result independently.
- Classic contract listings report a 500 R stealth bonus, but the exact current condition is not confirmed here. Read whether the live brief says no combat, undetected, or another rule before striking; a quiet approach alone is not proof.
- Wait for a safe strike window that satisfies the active brief, then leave by the covered line. Check contract closure, base payout, and any bonus result as separate states.
- The target is marked complete and the contract closes in the save. Check the base payout and any separate bonus result independently.
Recover the route
Recover the route
If a guard detects Edward or the target route changes, break sight behind the rock and return to a covered staging point before moving again. If a bonus matters, check whether the live brief still allows recovery before attacking. If the target is already down, record the result shown; do not assume a closed contract can be replayed for a missed payout.
- If the marker or target position changes, reopen the current contract and map before approaching again.
- After a closed contract, read the actual target and payout states before assuming a replay can restore a missed result.
