A Friend in Need Starting Location
Objective: Find and Acquire Heitor’s Sword
Your old friend Heitor wants your help for a semi-legitimate venture. Seems someone has his favorite sword Harpe, and he wants your help to get it back. Who has it? Just the Polemarch of Fort Phyle. No sweat for the mighty misthios. Hear over to Fort Phyle and call Ikaros to tag all of the enemies inside and locate the sword’s position. Just inside the front gate is a commander’s tent with a chest inside that contains the sword. If you’re stealthy, you can make it in and out by eliminating a few of the key guards in the area, but you don’t want to cause a full scale alarm. Loot the chest and leave quietly.
Objective: Return the Sword to Heitor
Head back to Heitor and give him the sword to complete the mission.

Actually u cant do it quietly as soon u get the sword the guards notice, maybe they had a trigger alarm in the chest..
I shot an arrow to break the entrance to the cage and the guards went there to fight the boar I released. I then snuck in, grabbed the sword and left without being seen.
I also lied to him and kept the sword
Did you get the trophy? My trophy won’t come up and no further advancment with Heitor will come up either.
You can also use pots to distract them. Just be strategic! You pick them up with Y and then use LB and RB to throw them.
