Complete walkthrough:
This is by far the most difficult part of this entire chapter. You will have to avoid a lot of bandits, especially when you reach the main camp area. Start off by moving forward. You will have to reach the exit of this small cavern (#1). Keep going straight (#2). I should warn you that this road is quite narrow, so it's easy to make a huge mistake.
You are getting close to a small group of enemies. Wait for a short cut-scene to pop up on your screen (#1). You will have to be crouching from now on. Thankfully, you are far away from the main area of the map, so you won't have be worried too much. Just make sure that no one sees you. Start moving forward. You are getting closer to a small camp fire (#2). The game will display a new hint for you. Read it.
You will have to sneak closer to the camp fire. Lean out carefully. You must wait for one of the bandits to turn around. He will start walking towards the cave (#1). Now's your chance to make a move, especially since the other bandit (he is sitting by the fire) is looking the other way. The game should display a new hint window. This time the information will be connected to the storm. First of all, you should know that you will have an opportunity to take advantage of this. Once you hear the thunder, you will be able to use your whip, without having to worry about the bandits. Sadly, you won't be using the whip too often. The second important thing is that the lightning strike will reveal your position for a short period of time. As a result, you will be moving very carefully. It's also very important that you take cover before the lightning strikes.
You will encounter your first opponent very shortly. Be careful, though. He is standing by the bushes, so you may not notice him at first glance. Wait for the bandit to turn around and start following him. You should also choose the whip from your inventory, as you're going to need it here. Use the whip the moment you hear the thunder (#1). Make sure that you're aiming at the neck. Thanks to that, you should be able to kill the bandit. Also, take his revolver and some ammunition (#2).
As you've probably suspected, you will have to reach the ground. There are a lot of different paths that would allow you to get there. I would recommend that you stay here and continue moving forward. Thanks to that, you won't have any problems (#1). Once you're there, make a few steps forward and listen to what the other bandits are talking about (#2). You will have to wait here. The conversation will end in just a few seconds.
Lean out carefully. I would recommend that you take your time and observe your surroundings. There are three bandits standing by the cliff. Additionally, one of the enemies is currently sleeping (#1). You could try and get closer to him, however you CAN'T KILL HIM. Taking him out would result in a mission failure, as his body would be discovered very soon. Instead, take a look at the small chest. You'll find some interesting objects inside (#2), including the health bottle.
Start moving towards the other bandits. I would recommend that you stick close to some of the rocks that are located on your right. There are also some bushes here (#1). This will allow you to sneak past unnoticed. You can't stay here for too long. Wait for the lightning strike to appear. After that, start moving towards a large tunnel (#2). Make sure that no one sees you!!
You will get closer to the main part of the camp. Don't be too excited, as there are some new enemies in this area (#1). The guards are currently talking, however you can't stay in the open for too long. One of the bandits will decide to check this area very soon. As a result, you will have to hide by a large rock. It's located on your left (#2). You should be safe here.
There are some very challenging stealth segments ahead of you. First of all, you will have to wait for one of the guards to turn around. Exit the cover and start moving forward (#1). Make sure that you're hiding in the bushes. Turn left. You should be able to get past the second guard. Eventually you will have to reach the end of this platform (#2). Slide down, however you should also make sure that a nearby opponent is looking the other way.
Start moving towards the left side of the screen. You can't stay here for too long. The objective is to walk round the camp from the left side. Make sure that you're close enough to a large boulder (#1). A lightning will strike any second now and you can't be in the open when that happens. Keep moving forward. You should be able to reach one of the nearby trees (#2). It's not a perfect cover, but you won't find anything better here.
This is the most difficult moment of this entire mission. First of all, you will have to reach a small camp fire. Make sure that you're using the bushes to cover your position. There are two bandits here (#1). Wait for one of them to turn right. Now you will have to start moving (#2). Use your compass if you don't know where to go. Also, watch out for the lightning strikes. Remember that you can't be seen by anyone. Get closer to the second camp fire. You will also have to make sure that you're standing too close to it.
You will have to reach one of the small tents (#1). Enter it as soon as possible. Otherwise some of the enemy soldiers would have located you. Proceed to the second tent that's located nearby. Make sure that you're not spotted! Now you will have to wait for one of the guards to show up. He should start walking towards the left side of the screen (#2).
Once the guard has left this area, try to get closer to the horses (#1). You will be able to scare the animal by pressing the correct key. As you've probably noticed, this will create a little panic in the main camp. Make sure that you remain hidden. Wait for a few seconds. After that, start running towards a small entrance (#2). Enter the cavern.
You will have to reach the opposite end of this tunnel. It shouldn't be too hard (#1), however you will have to be crouching at all times. There are a few enemies in the area. Your first task will be to get out of their way, because they will decide to enter the cavern. Turn right. You can hide by a large boulder. Alternatively, head on to some of the lower platforms without any other delays (#2).
Once you're on the ground, turn around and start moving forward. Remember that there are still two enemies here, so you will have to remain quiet. Additionally, it would be best to wait for the lightning strike before moving any further. Keep going straight (#1). Use your compass if you don't where do you have to go. You should get closer to a small bridge (#2). Before you decide to move any further, MAKE SURE that you have saved your game! This is very important!
The bridge will collapse the moment you decide to use it. As a result, you'll end up in the water (#1). Your character won't die here, however you will have to be very careful. Make sure that you're using the S key, so you won't be swimming too fast. You will have to avoid some rocks along the way. There are more boulders in this area. Try "aiming" at one of them (#2). Again, this is important. You can't get past these boulders. This would be equal to a quick death.
You should find yourself on top of a large boulder (#1). Now you will have to perform several jumps in order to reach the shore safely. Be careful, though. These rocks are very slippery, so it's easy to make a mistake and end up in the water. The last jump will allow you to continue your journey (#2). Make sure that you have saved your game here.
Turn left and start running forward (#1). You won't have be quiet here, as there are no enemies in the vicinity. Make sure that you don't get too close to the water. It's very easy to make a mistake here and you should remember about that all the time. There are a few gaps for you to avoid (#2). You will have to be very careful from now on. Keep a crouching position. You will also have to watch out for occasional lightning strikes.
I would recommend that you take a closer look at your surroundings. There's a small cavern on your right (#1). You will have to climb up there. Make sure that you're moving forward. There are a few additional jumps ahead of you, although you probably won't have any problems with them. There's a single bandit on an opposite ledge (#2). Ignore him, as you won't have to go there. Just make sure he doesn't see you.
Try getting closer to your destination. There is one more opponent here. He is standing on an upper ledge. Wait for the bandits to finish their conversation (#1). One of them is standing nearby, so you will have to be very quiet. Once they're finished, lean out carefully and wait for the bandit (#2) to turn around.
As you've probably suspected, you will have to climb up to the upper platform. Start off by following your enemy (#1). You should also get your whip ready. Wait for him to stop. Just as before, make sure you're aiming at his head (#2). Thankfully, you won't have to wait for the thunder to perform this action. There aren't any other bandits in this area (no alarm would be raised).
This is almost the end. The only thing left to do is to proceed forward. Head on to the lower platform (#1). The game should load a new map.
