Saydhi's Estate is a location in Infinity Blade II, and in the book Infinity Blade: Awakening. It acts as both the tutorial, and the set for the final encounter's and final boss of Infinity Blade II. As the name suggests this location is the residence of the Deathless Saydhi. The location is characterized by its Asian style architecture, Asian plant life such as cherry blossoms and bamboo, and a koi pond. Inside resides Saydhi and several of her champions that cannot be battled elsewhere.
Story[]
Infinity Blade: Awakening[]
Raidriar mentioned that, with the structure of the estate, it is nearly impossible to set up a proper defense. He also noticed a lift in the area that leads to the "undercomplex of the estates", making it possible that the location is much larger than it appears on the outside.
Infinity Blade II[]
The end of Infinity Blade: Awakening overlaps the beginning of Infinity Blade II, with the game simplifying the events that took place to the benefit of gameplay.
Siris sought to learn of the whereabouts of the Worker of Secrets, arriving at the outskirts of Saydhi's Estate alongside Isa. After a brief conversation, Isa provided an outline of the Deathless Saydhi, an information dealer who was known to answer any question one asked should they be able to defeat her champion in battle. Isa also insisted to watch over Siris as he entered her estate, leaving him to scout the area herself. Siris went on and defeated two of Saydhi's titans who guarded the outskirts. He defeated another titan after entering, while Saydhi watched from atop an elevated structure. She then directed her champion to engage Siris in battle, yet he too was defeated. Siris then approached Saydhi, requesting his prize, "a question answered". Saydhi attempted to redirect him towards alternatives, but Siris remained steadfast. Acquiescing, Saydhi allowed him his question, with Siris asking "Where can I find the Worker of Secrets?". She reacted perturbed, taken aback by the mention of the Worker. Siris demanding his question answered, Saydhi replied "The Vault of Tears. The place once known as Saranthia - due west, past the sea, in the mountains to the north", going on to say "You could find him there. But you won't", herself now engaging Siris in battle. She loses to him, and has her neck slashed by the Infinity Blade which Siris wielded. Noticing an obelisk with an inset mold of the Infinity Blade, Siris inserted it, only for it to descend into the floor, with Raidriar appearing behind him with his bodyguard The Dark Knight. With Siris left unarmed, Raidriar intended to kill him using the Infinity Blade which the Dark Knight then returned to him. Raidriar further rejected Siris's request to be given a sword so that they might battle honorably, Raidriar noting his realIsation that Siris is in fact Ausar the Vile. Before Raidriar could attack him, Isa from the rooftop of another building in the estate fired a crossbow bolt at Siris, striking him in the head and killing him before Raidriar could permanently kill him using the Infinity Blade. Isa then fled the rooftop, with Raidriar surprised and frustrated, gesturing his bodyguard to investigate the source of the attack.
Siris returned to Saydhi's Estate at the instruction of the Worker of Secrets to seek out Raidriar, and upon defeating him, Siris could deliver him into the Vault of Secrets to switch his place with the Worker within the soul cell that he was entrapped. Siris rung the large bell and waited atop the elevated structure where he last encountered Raidriar. Eventually, Raidriar appeared along with several minions, who he commanded to fight Siris ahead of battling him himself. Siris defeated each of his minions, and Raidriar approached him to do battle. Bested again by Siris, Raidriar expected to be killed, but Siris instead violently stunned him using the pommel of the blade to bludgeon him on the head, leaving him concussed where Siris would then bring him from Saydhi's Estate to the Vault of Tears.
