Assassin's Creed Origins

Welcome to the walkthrough for Assassin's Creed Origins. This game takes far longer to complete than most, if not all, other games in the series. You'll be spending a ton of time completing every single area in the base game; quests, although not required, help you level up more than locations do, so you should also consider doing them as well.

The Skills, Inventory, and Completion page contains lots of important information about the game, and you should not ignore it before playing. Reading it before you make too much of a start on the game will help with your planning. All miscellaneous achievements (including those in the DLC) are on the final page of the walkthrough; be sure to check it out so you can plan them out as well.

If you plan on getting the DLC, you should install it before you reach Lv40 as it raises the level cap from 40 to 55; more on that is on the Skills, Inventory, and Completion page. The DLC's pricing actually makes sense with the amount of content provided, which is a nice change of pace from earlier titles. Not all of the DLC needs to be completed to such fruition as the base game, but location and quest information on par with the base game has been provided for the DLC areas in case you're interested.

The walkthrough's layout is built with the achievement for completing every location in mind. Each location in a region can be found on that region's page, along with any quests that start in that region. This way, you can check each region's page and your region map to make sure that you've cleared everything you have to. Almost none of the quests are required for completion, but they're a fast way to build up experience.

Trinkets are being mentioned once again so as to avoid anyone missing this achievement. You need to collect at least 100 trinkets, found by looting items and sometimes enemies, then sell them all at the same time. Whatever you do, do not sell anything in the shop until you've manually counted that you have at least 100; it'd be safe to wait until you have 110+ just to have a precautionary overkill. More information is on the Misc Achievements page.

In most tombs, you can find glowing pieces of Silica that are counted along with your crafting materials. These are very important, and you need about 75 in total to complete a lot of the locations. Use the Animus Pulse in these tombs (consult your control schemes in the menus) to create a wave that locates lootable objects, including Silica. At most places requiring Silica, you'll be able to find more than you need to complete the location, which is useful for the one location that requires 50 to complete.

The two DLCs raise the level cap from 40 to 45 and 55, respectively. If you're more interested with earning perks faster instead of becoming stronger, it might be in your interest to avoid having the DLC installed. That way, when you get to Lv40, you'll have a smaller experience requirement towards earning the next skill point. However, if you're interested in having better stats instead of having more perks, you should install the DLC right away; any excess experience you earn past Lv40 won't contribute to your leveling up if you don't have the DLC installed, so you won't want to "waste" your experience gained at Lv40. There is an achievement for reaching Lv55, however, so it's still favorable to install the DLC before you hit Lv40.

Another bonus to installing the DLC sooner than later is that it gives you an optional bonus of shooting your level straight to Lv45 (for Curse of the Pharaohs), upgrades all your equipment to a very high level, and gives your special items (Ubisoft Club/Final Fantasy XV crossover) a boost to lv45 as well. You retain all the skill points you'd earn from shooting up to this level and there does not appear to be any downside whatsoever; it's free XP and it's free upgrades, saving you a lot of time.

This page will cover all of the story missions in the game. You can find information on side quests and locations for each region on their respective pages of the walkthrough, so it's a good idea to take a look at those to clear things up if you're not at a good enough level for the next quest. All quests come with a suggested level, which is what you should try to get to before attempting the quest properly to increase your attack and defense, but you can always try doing these early if you want to give it a shot.

The Oasis

Suggested: Lv01

Reward: 1000XP

Upon starting the game for the first time, you'll get to see a bit into the personality of Bayek as he kills a masked man, The Heron. After that, you're plunged into a fight with a massive enemy, one of The Heron's bodyguards. He's not going to surrender to you, so you'll have to fight him to the death. This fight serves as a tutorial for combat controls and the game will show you what to do, so pay attention. Once you fall the giant soldier, look around the walls for a chunk swarmed with beetles. You can push a piece of the wall there to continue into the temple. Keep pushing ahead until you find a large, collapsed pillar to the left. This will be your way up, but feel free to look for goodies before you climb it. Continue moving ahead after you reach the top of the pillar, and you should find a black statue to climb. At the top, jump down to a slightly lower platform and bust the wall open with a few attacks to get back in the fresh air.

You should notice a fight going on down below. Run over there and fight the soldiers that have come to ambush you, and after fighting them off, you'll be introduced to Hepzefa. Call your camel when prompted and you'll ride with him back into town, stopping at Hepzefa's house to meet Rabiah, a woman from Bayek's childhood, who will patch him up and let him rest.

Once Bayek wakes up, Hepzefa will give you a little training with bows. This too is a pretty straight-forward task, and you'll destroy the two dummies in front of you quickly. After this, however, a woman will run up to Hepzefa to warn him about Egyptian soldiers coming to fight him. The two of you will hide in the grass nearby, and then you'll be asked to take them all out. If you can help it, try to be stealthy about it. It's a good idea to clear out the house first, and then run around the perimeter to knock out the rest.

At the end of this little interruption, reunite with Hepzefa so he can tell you about your next target, The Ibis, and where to find him. You'll also meet Senu, Bayek's eagle, who will be able to detect objectives and enemies very easily. The Ibis is going to be pretty hard to kill given your current level, so you should work on the quests on Hepzefa's table and elsewhere to level up. You can also complete locations (undiscovered ones are marked with ?'s) for more experience. And to make travel more convenient, consider synching with the viewpoints around the Siwa region so you can fast travel to them from just about anywhere. It's also important to learn about your equipment and the skill tree, so you should consult the respective page for information on all of these things, found a few pages down from this one.

The False Oracle

Suggested: Lv05

Reward: 1250XP

The Ibis, Medunamun, will be camped out in the Temple of Amun. There are lots of strong soldiers here, and there are also two side quests related to the temple if you want to get those out of the way first. The best way to kill The Ibis is to wait until nighttime, or by changing the time to night if you have the first perk in the Seer tree, and then looking in the buildings to the east of the main entrance. He should be fast asleep, and will be an incredibly easy target to take down.

After he dies, his last words will mention a vault of some kind, and Bayek will see his son for a brief moment before he recalls a memory of him teaching his son a bit of archery. Khemu's friend will come along and ask for him to come to a hyena cave, but he'll be a bit too scared to go. Bayek will suggest that the three of them go to an ibex pack, since he needs to hunt one for the Oracle anyway. Chenzira won't stay for very long, though. Bayek will tell his son that they need to be quiet, like the god Amun, and Khemu will try his best, calling the two of them the Hidden Ones. Shoot the alpha ibex and take its pelt, then head towards the next destination.

Before you make it, Bayek will instead take Khemu up to Halma Point, where his grandfather once brought him as a child. There, he'll tell Khemu the one word that his grandfather told him: Jump. He will be too scared to do so, however, and they'll hear Chenzira scream. Greek soldiers will come to fight you; you're meant to lose this fight, so you don't have to try if you don't want to. After being captured, Medunamun will express some frustration with not being able to open the vault he's so interested in. Khemu is also here, and is used in an attempt to pry some information out of Bayek, but to no avail. They assume the orb they have is a key in opening the vault, but it seems nobody knows how to use it. And after this, you'll see what became of Khemu that fateful day nearly a year ago.

Hepzefa will congratulate Bayek on his slaying of The Ibis before making his way to Alexandria to see his wife. You'll now have possession of the Oracle's Relic, the strange orb that the masked men once tried to figure out.

May Amun Walk Beside You

Suggested: Lv05

Reward: None

Upon talking with Hepzefa, Bayek will proclaim his next target to be The Snake, and Hepzefa will give him a bit of information to help him find his wife.

• First Steps

  Complete the Prologue.

  
  

You'll take control of Layla Hassan, Abstergo employee, in the present day. She'll be directed by her medical officer to take some medicine to help with her kidneys, but before you do that, enter the pause menu and graze through all of the information available in these many folders. There are some references to the Assassin's Creed movie, and the stuff here even nonchalantly connects Watch_Dogs to the same universe. There's not much else to do by means of looking around, so grab that cyclosporine when you're ready to continue.

Aya (Pt. 1)

Suggested: Lv10

Reward: 1250XP

When you arrive in Alexandria, look for Aya in the Great Library. Take a look at a statue of Serapis, and a man named Phanos will walk up to talk to you and lead you to Aya. It turns out that Phanos is her cousin. He'll lead you to a well for you to jump down into, which has a cave underneath it. Walk far enough in the cave, and Aya will jump out to surprise you.

In a deeper portion of the cave, Aya will help Bayek shave, and she'll talk about her work in hunting the masked men. She's actually managed to kill two herself, but it was these actions that got her into the problem she's in now. Before you leave to clean things up with The Snake, she'll also give you a hidden blade that she got from Cleopatra herself, the true Pharaoh of Egypt. This old thing was once used to kill the mighty Xerxes.

You can leave the underground with a small gate near where you end up after you regain control of yourself. Then look at these two new quests for you to complete, as well as your hidden blade to see if you can upgrade it.

Gennadios the Phylakitai

Suggested: Lv11

Reward: 500XP

Gennadios is a very, very powerful foe assigned to the Akra Garrison to the southeast. When you manage to kill him, confirm his death when it's safe to do so. He'll tell you that the Phylakes will come after you for what you've done, and it looks like he's right. Take a look at your map after this quest and look for big red horned helmets; these are the Phylakes that he spoke of, and they're all extremely powerful enemies. The plus side to hunting them down is that they drop incredibly strong gear when killed, but due to their high level, you probably won't be able to take them on just yet.

End of The Snake

Suggested: Lv12

Reward: 1000XP, Outfit

The first order of business is investigating the Royal Scribe's office in the Royal Palace, which is on the peninsula to the northeast of the city. By finding a key on top of a bookshelf, you can open the chest by his desk and dig up the contents inside. Now that you know who The Snake is, you can find him at the bathhouse. You're better off fast traveling closer to the bathhouse from here.

Bayek will don a towel inside the bathhouse to blend in. This is an incredibly easy assassination to perform; just find Eudoros and the room he's in, which is protected by guards, and then climb up through the opening to the right of these guards. This will put you in a perfect position to jump down on Eudoros for an assassination. As soon as the cutscenes for his death end, climb back up to the top of the wall you came in from, and then look for a high path near you. You should be able to find a ladder that will take you down very close to the front of the bathhouse, finishing the quest.

Aya (Pt. 2)

Suggested: Lv10

Reward: 1250XP

With both men dead, meet Aya at one of the landmarks in Alexandria to finish the quest.

• I'm Just Getting Started

  Complete Main Quest "Aya".

  
  

The high energy of their meeting will convince Deanna to pull Layla out of the Animus. Layla will have a feeling that Aya's been buried in this same cave that Bayek is in; go find her and take a DNA sample before climbing back into the Animus. It'll reject Aya's memories for now, so you'll be sent back to Bayek.

Egypt's Medjay

Suggested: Lv12

Reward: 900XP

You're now to seek out a man named Apollodorus, who will know whether The Snake was the last of the masked ones. His servant will be outside the Hippodrome, so talk to him to arrange a meeting, and wait near the lighthouse nearby at night-time for Apollodorus. The Dawn and Dusk skill works well here. At night, Apollodorus will ask of you to save a man named Damastes to show your worth. Damastes is being held prisoner in a cage at the heavily guarded Menelaite Trireme location.

Bust him out and follow him to a dock, where he'll tell you that the scroll he's supposed to have is now at the bottom of the lake. Bring it to Apollodorus, and he'll finally tell you a bit about what's been going on. Take a boat over to his place, where Cleopatra is waiting, and he'll give you heaps of instructions on how to properly act in front of her. These will be ignored, and Cleopatra and her associates will tell you all of what's actually been at stake. There are four more masked men who make up the actual Snake, and you can go about them in any order. They'll be listed here in the order in which you'll most easily be prepared for them by level.

The Scarab's Sting

Suggested: Lv15

Reward: 1500XP

To start this quest, head to the city of Sais, which is at the northern end of Sapi-Res Nome. Talk to Harkuf by the brewery and follow him to his house so you can talk more openly about The Scarab. Check his informant table and continue talking to the master brewer to learn about a victim of The Scarab, named Ghupa. Free him from his cell in the camp nearby and take him back home so he can tell you in writing of The Scarab's location, which just so happens to be the buried city of Letopolis.

The Scarab's Lies (Pt. 1)

Suggested: Lv18

Reward: 1500XP

Speak to Taharqa in Letopolis, who will only have a few words to say with you before a bunch of bandits come in to attack some nearby ruins. You'll have to fight five groups of enemies across Letopolis with Taharqa. With the reavers defeated, Taharqa will be put in a killing mood and will ask you to join him in wiping them all out. Follow him and his men to their camp in Ineb-Hedjet Nome and clear the place out. Grateful for your work, Taharqa will invite you over to dinner so he can tell you more about The Scarab.

The Scarab's Lies (Pt. 2)

Over dinner, you'll be a bit surprised to find out who The Scarab is. After a quick turn of events, The Scarab will find you and will have you buried in the sand just like many of his victims before him. You might have to call your horse to help you out after a short while.

Devoid of all of your equipment, ride your horse to Camp Achlys to the north so you can get it all back. Kill anyone that gets in your way and take everything out of the chest before hunting down The Scarab. He'll be heavily guarded, so watch out for as many soldiers as you can see.

Pompeius Magnus

Suggested: Lv12

Reward: ---

After Bayek leaves The Scarab, Layla will switch over to Aya's memories, which will take you to her experiences with some Greek mercenaries aboard a ship. After a little dialogue, it appears that she's on her way to General Pompey to bribe him, which somehow has something to do with Cleopatra. On your way there, you'll be taken into a bout of sailing combat, similar to that of Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag. If you haven't played that game, don't worry, as you'll be taught the controls when they become relevant. You'll soon have to fight against more enemy ships alongside Pompey, and afterwards Aya will talk with Pompey, convincing him that Cleopatra is a valuable ally.

• The Sea

  Complete Main Quest "Pompeius Magnus".

  
  

The Hyena

Suggested: Lv20

Reward: 2500XP

For this quest, you'll need to travel to the city/location of Great Sphinx, which is directly east of the large central pyramid in the region of Giza. It's one of three ? locations among three in a group. Talk to Mered in the marketplace, and he'll offer to tell you about The Hyena. And an offer it is, because he's going to ask 100 drachmas of you. The Hyena's name is Khaliset, but that's all he'll tell you before he locks the rest of his knowledge behind his horse. You'll have to take it back to him to learn more about her.

When you the horse back, he'll tell you where The Hyena's den is. Investigate the den to find out that she's been planning something with Khufu's tomb. Travel there and head to the bottom to find out what she's been up to. Her plans seem to be a lot more intriguing than simply taxing people. Investigate these things and open the sarcophagus to find out who she's trying to resurrect.

After you've interrupted the sarcophagus, Khaliset will attack you before fleeing, then calling you a coward. You'll have to then fight The Hyena as she fires arrows at you from afar. Try to avoid any hyenas she summons towards you, because they're about Lv26 and you'll probably be unable to take them on at this stage of the game unless you've purposely over-leveled before this point. Once you kill her, confirm the kill and witness her last words.

• The Hyena

  Complete Main Quest "The Hyena".

  
  

The Lizard's Mask

Suggested: Lv21

Reward: 2700XP

Upon meeting Pasherenptah in Memphis, he'll break down as he explains a curse laid unto the city by The Lizard. Speak with his wife's seer to the southwest and help him with his ceremony. When you arrive in a new place, look for a light in the distance and run towards it to enter a tomb. At the end of it, you'll see a man offer Silica to one of the gods as part of a ritual. After the god accepts it, you'll receive a bow made of light that you'll have to use to fight the beast. Keep firing arrows into it (charging it won't add to your damage output) and drain it of all its health.

After this illusion has faded, swim towards a glowing box so Bayek can pick up what's inside. Then continue through the field of reeds for a brief moment. After you return to the seer's house, he'll somehow figure out that someone has been poisoning the temple's food with body parts. Leave the house to meet up with Aya.

• Wake Up!

  Complete Main Quest Dream Sequence.

  
  1 guide

Ride a canoe to the palace with Aya and investigate the area to figure out what's been poisoning the Apis Bull. Punch a door open to get to one of the more important clues. Once you find out what's been going on, speak with Aya and the priestesses to learn what's really been going on. The priestesses' brother has been taken, and you'll have to get him back to get rid of any leeway the bandits have over the girls. Take him back home and he'll tell you that The Lizard is one of the temple priests.

The Lizard's Face

Suggested: Lv23

Reward: 2250XP

Follow Aya to the horses she's prepared to get to the palace. She'll suggest a race towards Cleopatra's speech, which you can win or lose. After talking with Cleopatra, you'll learn what to look for in the priest you're after. Only attack the correct priest using the hints in the top left corner of your screen, or else the entire soldier population in the temple will come after you as the other priests run away.

When you've successfully killed The Lizard, meet with Pasherenptah in the temple to the north. After reporting the death, the Apis festival will be able to take place, with Cleopatra riding the main carriage.

• The Lizard

  Complete Main Quest "The Lizard's Face".

  
  

The Crocodile's Scales

Suggested: Lv25

Reward: 3000XP

Upon finding Hotephres' house in the Faiyum, investigate what happened to him and find a letter on top of his pigeon coop to find that his servant (who would know where Hotephres is) has been taken prisoner in a nearby military camp. Take the servant out of the camp and learn that Hotephres is aboard one of his ships. The papers detailing The Crocodile's identity are with his wife in Euhemeria, to the south, who will then tell you that the paper is in her villa. Hotephres' daughter will show you where the house is; find the papers and learn what happened to the papers you're looking for.

Surprise surprise, you still don't have the papers, Shadya has them. And to make things even worse, she and her mother have been taken to the top of the lighthouse. Fight your way to Hotephres' wife and find Shadya to end the quest.

The Crocodile's Jaws

Suggested: Lv28

Reward: 3500XP, Rare Light Bow

Investigate the Krokodilopolis Arena to learn that you're after the Gallic Brothers. A fellow Siwan, Kensa, is fighting here too, and she's eager to welcome you to the arena. Go through the arena tour and fight through an entire match to prove yourself to Felix. The next fight includes lions, but it shouldn't be too much of a step up. The third match will not involve Kensa, as she's out doing something else. After the fight, she won't tell you what it is, and will instead suggest you talk to Felix to start the next match against the Gallic Brothers.

The fight against the brothers is, not-jokingly, the Dark Souls fight of the quest. One brother has a massive scythe and the other is a brutal melee fighter, both of which are fighting styles you'll never get to use. When one brother dies, the other will become far more aggressive, similar to a fight in Dark Souls. It'd make sense to take them both to the lowest health possible before making an actual final blow on one of them.

After the fight, the brothers will swear that they didn't kill Shadya, and you'll finally learn who The Crocodile is: a random lady. After this fight, you'll leave the arena in search of her. She'll be within the region; make your way over to where she is and hunt her down the old-fashioned way. Upon killing The Crocodile, you'll finish the quest.

• The Crocodile

  Complete Main Quest "The Crocodile's Jaws".

  
  

Back in the present day, Deanna and Layla will be attacked by Abstergo men with bows. A single shot will kill you, so make sure you're as stealthy as possible. Wait for the first guy to pass and then get behind all four enemies. After that, you'll hear the men on Deanna's side get to her, and Layla will angrily get back into the Animus.

Way of the Gabiniani

Suggested: Lv31

Reward: 7500XP

Time to meet up with Cleopatra to go over the current situation with The Order. She'll inform you of The Jackal and The Scorpion, two more names to add to your list. Her gift to you is a man who will finally tell you who it was exactly that killed Bayek's son. Talk with the owner of a brothel in the area so you can speak with twins that know more about one of The Jackal's men, Venator. You'll have to pay her some money to see them first, though. Investigate Venator's place once you learn its location to figure out what he's up to.

A trio of men are prepared to kill Cleopatra; kill them and return to her palace, where she'll be attacked by archers and other soldiers. After they fall, Venator himself will appear. He's a ridiculously strong enemy compared to his dead allies. Kill him, and then Cleopatra will order you and Aya to meet Pompey. The quest will end when Cleopatra meets up with him.

Aya: Blade of the Goddess

Suggested: Lv31

Reward: ---

After finding Pompey, talk to Aya and sail to Alexandria. You'll be in control of Bayek on the open sea against some of Ptolemy's ships. It's just more ship combat, nothing you haven't seen before. One addition to your set of moves is a catapult that's far too overpowered for what it should be, useful against any ship you toss the flare for it towards. Once you sink the fleet, anyone deemed a main character will get on a small boat and sail towards Alexandria.

Playing as Aya, you, Bayek and Apollodorus will take a hidden Cleopatra into the palace to meet Julius Caesar and Ptolemy, where she will converse with the former about making an alliance. Flavius, one of Caesar's men, will initially be hostile, but Caesar will call him off. Afterwards, she'll ask Aya to help clear a path towards Alexander's Tomb so she can take Caesar. Head into the palace and cut open an unstable part of the wall to get into the underground tunnels. Dive underwater with Bayek to get to the tomb.

At the tomb itself, Bayek will read some writing about the strange sphere he found way at the beginning of the story. Aya will remark that she gave it to Apollorus. Open the door so you can let everyone in. Shortly after the couple start to admire the tomb, Flavius will come in with news that his emissaries have been taken prisoner, likely a result of Ptolemy's anger. Once you find him, he'll tell you what happened to him, which includes talk of another masked man known as The Lion.

Take the surviving emissary back to the palace and leave with Bayek towards the lighthouse of Alexandria. You and Bayek will switch roles; he'll hand you the powder that needs to be placed into the brazier. Make your way up to the top and fight off a terribly strong, hammer-wielding foe, then get the job done. Back in control of Bayek, you'll accompany Caesar on his chariot towards the harbor. Just keep firing your light bow constantly; there's no worry for ammo consumption here.

The Battle of the Nile

Suggested: Lv31

Reward: ---

After a presumably short amount of time, Bayek will set course towards The Scorpion. He won't be too far away, but he'll be riding another elephant. This one isn't as strong as those found around Egypt, but it still may pose a challenge if you're under-leveled. If you've got the DLC and are nearly at Lv55, then the elephant will be a joke, which shows how much a single level matters.

After The Scorpion is laid to rest, run to a nearby village and jump into a closed-off arena to fight The Jackal. He's got a long, whip-like weapon that he probably won't stop swinging until you put a few arrows into his head. To make matters worse, he also immediately dodges just about any standard overpower attack (swords, unarmed, etc) that consists of a powerful lunge. After the fight are some pretty important cutscenes, showing what comes of The Jackal after Bayek beats him down.

The Aftermath

Suggested: Lv31

Reward: 6000XP

Since Cleopatra and her allies were last seen with Alexander's staff, it's come to Bayek and Aya's attention that they should figure why exactly they took it. Kill the men attacking Apollodorus and listen to what he has to say.

• The Siege

  Complete Main Quest "The Aftermath".

  
  

The Final Weighing

Suggested: Lv32

Reward: 3000XP

Ride with Aya to the vault, where Bayek first met The Order. If you recall, they were unable to open the vault with just the orb alone. But what did they take from Alexander's tomb? If you've played Assassin's Creed II, you might understand how exactly this vault is meant to be opened. Reach the vault underneath the Temple of Amun and take a look at what's inside. Carry out the one thing you can. Afterwards, you'll receive a sword that used to belong to someone else.

Aya will tell you what a captured soldier told her. Flavius should be somewhere around Kyrenaika, so stop by a farm he must've gone past. Meet with a survivor in a nearby building after meeting a woman named Praxilla, who will describe Flavius' attack on the farm. Take her and Praxilla to safety, then head to Cyrene, where a man named Diocles will be willing to help you out. He'll tell you that Flavius is in the Roman Akropolis, which is on the west side of the city.

Upon climbing through a window to the building Flavius is inside of, he'll use the Apple of Eden in his possession to fight you off. He can use it to slow you down if you're caught in its blast, create masked illusions, and turn himself invisible. It'll take a long time, but he'll eventually fall to you given enough time against him.

• Almost There

  Complete Main Quest "The Final Weighing".

  
  

Last of the Medjay

Suggested: Lv35

Reward: 3000XP

With Flavius dead, meet with Aya in Alexandria, who's met with other Romans plotting against Caesar. You'll probably recognize them. Once the conspirators set out, Bayek will put the Apple in a chest, and then will say that it should remain well-hidden. He probably should've put it somewhere else. Catch up with Aya before she sets sail for Rome.

Back in the present day, a familiar face will wake Layla Hassan up to make her a deal, which she accepts.

Fall Of An Empire, Rise Of Another

Suggested: Lv35

Reward: ---

Back on the open waters, you'll have to fend off quite a few normal-sized ships, along with small fireboats designed to cause heavy damage to you. Just a single arrow shot will destroy one, and they should be your first priority when they appear. At the end of this, you'll fight two much larger ships; don't forget about your catapult ability, as it's incredibly useful here.

When Aya gets to Rome, she'll face off with The Jackal for good this time. An important thing to note here is not just The Jackal's shining weaponry, but the fact that he calls Caesar the Father of Understanding. The fight plays out mostly the same as before, but his new equipment will naturally grant him a new move or two.

There are lots of enemies on the way to Caesar and the Senate. It's best to just sneak past as many as you can. After this are a few more cutscenes after you do the deed.

Birth of the Creed

Suggested: ---

Reward: 9600XP

This mission is just the final set of endgame cutscenes.

• The End

  Complete the last Main Quest.

  
  

Travel to the start of the DLC by using the button prompt on the lower left.

The Land of Turquoise

Suggested: Lv38

Reward: ---

When you arrive in Klysma Quarry, look for the Hidden Ones' Bureau. You can find it most easily by getting to the viewpoint, which you should be doing anyway. To get inside, however, you need to find a small entrance just a few meters northeast of the viewpoint on ground level. Meet up with Tahira, who will introduce you to Gamilat, the local rebel leader. Bayek will offer to help the rebel situation by killing the opposition's three lieutenants in Sinai. Upon finishing business here, Gamilat will sound a bit off when he states that he and the people are one in the same.

After this, some side quests will open up in Klysma Nome, and two strong foes will appear on the map: The Shadow of the North and The Shadow of the South. Take them on with caution if you wish to do so. You can start with any of Rufio's three lieutenants in whichever order you please, but they'll be listed here in the order of their suggested level.

Where the Slaves Die

Suggested: Lv39

Reward: 22500XP

Meet up with Tahira and get ready to assassinate Tacito, the man responsible for most of the slaves' troubles in the region. Due to the area's layout, you'll probably have to take out a majority of the other enemies here. There aren't any tricky moves the enemies here will do either, so it should be pretty straight-forward. After Tacito is dead, however, Tahira will suggest killing everyone at the quarry to strengthen the rebellion in the region. After fighting alongside several rebels, talk to the captain to end the quest.

The Walls of the Ruler

Suggested: Lv41

Reward: 15000XP, Legendary Hunter Bow

Maqwat, preparing to take down Ampelius, is at Paratiritirio, an old watchtower northeast of Madiama Nome's northern viewpoint. Scan the entire citadel first; Senu won't be able to directly identify Ampelius, but it's always good to know where every enemy is. You'll only be able to figure out who he is when you're ridiculously close to him. While you're here, you may as well complete the fortress since you have to for an achievement. The quest ends when Ampelius is dead.

The Setting Sun

Suggested: Lv43

Reward: 15000XP

Speak with Gamilat outside a pyramid being deconstructed to learn more about the man taking it down, Ptahmose. Sneak to the south side of the pyramid with him to get inside. Once you reach the interior, Gamilat will become a bit too angry, but he'll find a secret passageway in the process. Gamilat can't climb very well, so you'll have to get to the top of the room and take a white block down to the highest platform. Place it down and continue to stand on it so Gamilat can take your place, then take the block over to the lower platform. Two circular weights lie around the lower platform's new height; put them on there as well to bring Gamilat to the top.

After this is a hall with a few snakes inside, followed by another lift room. This one will be real easy, and doesn't require any heavy thinking. Just move a large object off of the lower platform and move another onto the higher one. After this is a bandit hideout in which you need to kill everyone to allow Gamilat to escape. He'll give you the scroll he found in the pyramid, starting a side quest.

Now that you two have escaped the pyramid that you entered for no great reason, Ptahmose can be found in a camp north of Arsinoe. Kill him to finish the quest.

• Surgical Strikes

  Assasinate Tacito, Ptahmose and Ampelius (The Hidden Ones)

  
  1 guide

No Chains Too Thick

Suggested: Lv43

Reward: 10000XP

After killing all three lieutenants, fast travel back to the bureau to debrief. Romans will smoke the Hidden Ones out during the talk, though, and will kidnap Bayek. Amunet of all people will come to rescue him from his fate so they can rescue the fellow members of the Sinai Bureau from Fort Clostra. Out of the two, Tahira will have suffered great burns across her body. She'll need to be carried out of the fort.

Ride with Amunet, Kashta, and Tahira towards Amunet's camp in the mountains, where Tahira will give her last breath. Amunet and Bayek will set off for Rufio as Kashta gives Tahira a proper burial.

Sic Semper Tyrannis

Suggested: Lv45

Reward: 15000XP

Follow Amunet to Arsinoe and stop the soldiers there from continuing their massacre of the village. Once it's stopped, sail or swim to the farthest ship in his armada and quickly cut him down as fast as you can. Confirm the kill to avoid having to fight the entire fleet.

The Greater Good

Suggested: Lv45

Reward: 15000XP, Legendary Light Bow

Amunet will express her concerns about Gamilat, who's been using his rebels to intentionally bring himself to a high power among the people. Ride with her to the rebel camp and speak to someone at the top of the stairs to learn Gamilat's whereabouts. Have a word with him to provoke a fight after the two of you fail to see eye-to-eye.

He uses a lot of fire-based attacks; even his sword is on fire. When you eventually get knocked off the initial platform, swim to a nearby crossbow and fire at him while he fires at you. After enough time, he'll come after you instead of using the crossbow. Using overpower attacks is incredibly useful against him, so don't be stingy with them.

Once Gamilat falls, you'll be granted some more important cutscenes before getting another achievement.

• The Greater Good

  Complete Main DLC Quest "The Greater Good" (The Hidden Ones)

  
  

Travel to Thebes using the prompt on the lower left corner of your screen when looking at the map.

The Curse of the Pharaohs (Pt. 1)

Suggested: Lv45

Reward: ---

When you arrive in Thebes, you'll hear Amunet tell you about a new artifact found in Egypt. A man named Sutekh will welcome you, but will be interrupted by the resurrection of a long-dead pharaoh. It seems that this artifact must be related to resurrecting the dead. After fighting the shade for some time, it'll disappear. The package Amunet gave you to Merti, who will be near Luxor.

Merti will tell you that the artifact responsible was probably traded around, so the merchants might know about it. The curse is another key factor, which the high priestess in the area might know about.

No Honor Against Thebes

Suggested: Lv44

Reward: 20000XP

After talking with Merti, look around the market for a man named Siamun who will very slowly walk you over to an ambush. After making a threat towards Siamun again, he'll finally spill the beans about a gambling site where you can earn an invitation to an auction. After a woman named Tamehet is attacked at the match, she'll give you her invitation after you save her life. Well, she would give it to you, but it's at her villa.

The villa has a secret apartment that can only be opened by turning statue heads towards the small golden scarabs on the ground. After enough time, the heads will move independent of one another, which makes opening the path easier. Keep looking around for a scroll detailing what the artifact looks like: it's another Apple of Eden.

The Lady of Grace (Pt. 1)

Suggested: Lv46

Reward: ---

Now that you have the invitation, head to the island that the auction is being held on. It'd be held on the island if it wasn't attacked, that is. Kill the attackers and investigate what happened to the auction. The conclusion to the investigation is that all survivors and the Apple have been taken to the Temple of Hatshepsut across the water.

Since you're here, you may as well complete the temple's objectives. When you get around to getting to the exploration area, look for some cells and you'll come across Irsu, who will tell you that his nephew stole it from him. Track him down at the Worker's Necropolis and you'll be able to learn where the tomb is as well as receive the artifact.

Run into the tomb and find Nefertiti's sarcophagus. That's not what you're looking for, though. See that glowing slit in the wall? Pass through there and see what happens. Once you've made it through, some priests will attack you. Fend them off and enter the Aaru, one of four afterlife areas in the DLC. Upon reaching Nefertiti's palace, speak with three priests to learn that you've got some cleaning up to do if you want to return the relic to her.

Cleansing Rite

Suggested: Lv46

Reward: 5000XP

Just use the spring for an easy 5000XP. You should probably clear this location too, since the stelae is right behind the spring.

Something Rotten

Suggested: Lv46

Reward: 5000XP

The impure food you need to burn is on one of the ships moving around Aaru. Just set fire to it however you please to end the quest.

Soured Libations

Suggested: Lv46

Reward: 5000XP

Travel to the House of Libations and simply destroy all the bad wine. You may as well read the stelae here to finish the location too.

The Lady of Grace (Pt. 2)

Suggested: Lv46

Reward: 10000XP

Walk up to Nefertiti's throne and place the relic back in the hole. Upon doing so, Nefertiti will be returned to the afterlife, looking for a fight. She's a real tough fighter too. I only managed to defeat her by using the sword you get from the Final Fantasy XV crossover quest since it has adrenaline-regenerating properties, and that sword was at Lv55 (along with myself, of course). You don't have to follow that exact strategy, of course, but just keep it in mind if you're really having a bad time. Nefertiti's death marks the end of this quest.

Aten Rising

Suggested: Lv47

Reward: 8000XP

After talking with Merti at the start of the DLC, this quest starts. The high priestess claims that the curse is the work of the gods, but Bayek believes differently. Head to a farm just outside of Thebes and investigate a recent attack to learn that bandits have been taking people away from the village. A man named Djehuty has been taken to Bone Picker Camp to the south; talk to him to learn about the pharaoh Akhenaten that the farm has started to worship.

A cursed farm is the next destination. There are three piles of animal carcasses that need to be burned. Once that's done, meet with Djehuty at night and help him with his ritual to the pharaoh. Afterwards, he'll tell you that the only text mentioning Akhenaten is guarded in the archives in Thebes. Upon reaching the scroll, you'll learn that Tychon's men are looking for the pharaoh's sanctuary as well.

Reach the sanctuary and wait for a beam of light to show you the way inside during the daytime. Once you learn that the curse isn't from Amun, return to the high priestess and explain to her that the curse originates from the relic that the pharaoh holds in a statue.

The Heretic

Suggested: Lv48

Reward: 10000XP

Now that you've figured out the connection between the curse and the relic, find Tychon and kill him for his ledger for the location of the statue you're after, which is in the Temple of Hatshepsut. Scrape some dust off of the statue and head to Akhenaten's tomb. Crawl through a shining crevice and you'll reach the afterlife area of Aten. One of the statues near the entrance hold an orb with light shining towards the giant ball in the sky. Four more symbols like this one are spread out across Aten; destroy them all, and then make your way to the Great Temple of the Aten.

Akhenaten uses a large blade with absolutely terrible reach. Because of this, bows are really useful against him. The Favor of Osiris skill is a must-have if you want to go with this strategy. By using bows, you'll also build up your adrenaline, which you can use to send far more powerful attacks into the pharaoh once there's an opening. The quest will end when Akhenaten is dead once more.

The Curse of the Pharaohs (Pt. 2)

Suggested: Lv48

Reward: ---

Once you're done with the above quests, you'll finally be able to move on with this one again. Talk to Isidora about what you've been through for the past few hours and then head to Tychon's house. Look inside a chest to find a paper telling you that someone else is looking for the relic, The Lotus.

Blood in the Water

Suggested: Lv49

Reward: 10000XP

Travel to Swenett to talk to a scribe. He won't be there, but his boss will give you a clue as to where he might be. Bandits have gotten to him first, however, and have taken the ship manifest to the Flooded Farm Hideout. The Lotus' ship will have already been attacked. Look for the people on the shoreline to learn that a red-haired man stole someone's horse. Find Sutekh in the fishing village and he'll tell you about the attack, and that the men who attacked him were after Merti.

Reach Merti's villa near the House of the Blue Lotus and kill all the soldiers who are looking for her before speaking with her. She'll give you a scroll detailing what she knows of the situation thus far, pointing you towards the Necropolis of the Nobles to the north. Outside, one of Anubis' men will attack. He's not as tough as a pharaoh, but he's still a challenging opponent nonetheless. Be sure to confirm the kill to get his loot before heading north.

Isidora will already be at the necropolis arguing with Tahemet. Follow her as she speaks to you, and then investigate the tomb afterwards. You'll get another quest now, which you can start now or later, but make sure to finish this one now since it's almost done. Check out the hieroglyphs inside to learn that Isidora has been lying about the relic this entire time; the priests have it. Up next is another fast quest that you should finish right away.

A Motherless Child

Suggested: Lv51

Reward: 8000XP

Isidora's interested in the relic because her mother was killed protecting the tombs. Investigate the nearby tomb to finish the quest and learn her motives.

The King of Kings (Pt. 1)

Suggested: Lv50

Reward: ---

Talk to Tahemet in her tent once more and she'll show you the scroll she was talking about. She believes that Ramesses is the pharaoh that's come back to life, although at this point it's sure to be more than just one pharaoh at work since you've defeated two so far (it wouldn't hurt to defeat another). She'll give you the scroll and you'll be off to start two more main story quests that are required to finish this one.

A Pharaoh's Shadow

Suggested: Lv50

Reward: 4000XP

A part of the quest The King of Kings. Travel to Thebes and look for Ramesses' shadow, which will appear like many others that have spawned as you've been playing the DLC. Killing it will finish the quest.

A Pharaoh's Heart and Name

Suggested: Lv50

Reward: 5000XP

To assist in putting Ramesses back in his place, you'll want to take song scrolls written about him and get a jar stopper from an old queen. Simply reach both locations shown with markers and find the items you're looking for to end the quest.

The King of Kings (Pt. 2)

Suggested: Lv50

Reward: ---

Now that the two quests below are complete, travel to the camp in the Theban Necropolis with a ridiculously long name, the House of Millions of Years of Usermaatra-Setepenra. A captain here has a treasure map leading to Ramesses' tomb. Reach the tomb when you get there, speak with Ramesses' wife, and crawl through a slit in the wall like you've done before. Talk with her again in Heb Sed and start two more quests.

A Pharaoh's Ka

Suggested: Lv50

Reward: 5000XP

Before you can put Ramesses to rest, you need to take the pharaoh's ka. Look around the middle of Heb Sed for them. One will be at the Scorpion Lair, and another at Maryannu Camp.

A Pharaoh's Hemset

Suggested: Lv50

Reward: 5000XP

For this quest, you need to free the deathless feathers from their imprisonment in the Siege of Dapur.

The King of Kings (Pt. 3)

Suggested: Lv50

Reward: 10000XP, Legendary Heavy Blunt

Now that you have both quests completed, it's time to put Ramesses to rest. Place the eyes on his throne in the Battlefield of Kadesh and get ready for a tough battle. If you've been abusing the Favor of Osiris skill, then it should play out the same way as it has for the other two pharaohs. Ramesses is a much tougher opponent than the pharaohs before him, as he's got several attacks that can crush you like a toothpick. At certain marks in his health, Ramesses will summon sandstorms to greatly reduce your vision. Focus on staying alive when this happens, because that'll be a higher priority than hitting him during these. Killing him finishes the quest.

The Curse of the Pharaohs (Pt. 3)

Suggested: Lv52

Reward: 30000XP

Back with the main-main quest once again. Now that Isidora is held accountable for the curse, return to the Temple of Karnak, which is now overrun with Anubis priests and mummies. There isn't a good way to get to her without alerting the dozen or so soldiers.

When assassinating her doesn't go as planned, run to her quarters to start an investigation. Bypass the locked door with a window near the ceiling to the right and look all over for more clues. With only one final pharaoh's tomb remaining, it would make sense that Isidora has rushed to the tomb of Tutankhamun.

Once you try to assassinate her, Tutankhamen will come forth for a fight. He fights similarly to Akhenaten, preferring a slower attack style, but he has a longer reach and is far more deadly because of it. One of his attacks can send you from full health into having only half a health bar; it goes without saying that you should focus on keeping your distance. Hopefully you have the Favor of Osiris skill by now, because firing arrows into the king is more useful for building adrenaline than it is for inflicting damage. Overpower attacks are key to winning this fight. On the bright side, it's easy to run from Tutankhamun and run circles around the arena to restore health and arrows. The only way you'll ever be able to effectively restore a different health bar is with the Overpower Fury skill, though.

• Lift the Curse
  
  

With the fourth pharaoh dead for good, follow a ball of light to the exit of the Duat. Bayek will come back to life and you'll be shown the final cutscenes for the story.

Properly managing your skills, weapons, and other equipment is very important to maintaining as strong a version of yourself as possible. This page will cover what you'll need to know for these things, as well as provide a general idea of what you need to do in order to fully complete the game.

Skills

When you first take a look at your skill tree at the start of the game, you'll notice a few things. Each skill requires a certain number of skill points to acquire, with the most you'll need for a skill being three. Next up are the Master Skills, of which there are one of each for each branch in the tree. These can be earned multiple times, and stack with each time you earn them. As for progressing through the tree, there's one thing about these skills that's different from most other games. If you want to earn the Master Warrior skill, for example, you'll only need to earn just one of the skills connected to it as opposed to all of them. Because of this, the earliest you can earn one of these skills is at around Lv10, but you'll want to invest in all of these skills anyway; many of them are very useful, and lots of them are tied to achievements. Optimally, you'll want to unlock all of these skills, including the ones that are added with the DLC.

• I'm Done Learning

  Activate a Master ability.

  
  

• You still need 8880...

  Reach level 20.

  
  

• Higher Power

  Reach level 55 (The Curse of the Pharaohs)

  
  

The Warrior

The Warrior branch focuses on combat, as you could have probably guessed. From the perspective of someone who usually tries to sneak around and has finished the game using mostly only their fists when possible, I would consider the Adrenaline 1 and Adrenaline 2 skills to be of most importance. Since you'll likely not want to run around the same way for the entire game, you should take a look at the skills and judge which of the skills are most important to you. The previously mentioned skills are useful for any type of combat style, so you can't go wrong with those.

There are only two achievements that can be considered to The Warrior. The first is for killing three enemies with a single attack. This is a cinch at a high level after returning to Siwa and using a wide swinging weapon when surrounded by enemies. You can alternatively attack three enemies until they lose all their health while you're unarmed; this doesn't technically kill the enemies, so if three are close enough together on the ground you can swing next to them and hope for the best. Downed enemies cannot be picked up unless they're dead, however, so the first method is probably your best bet.

The second achievement is for finishing an arena boss with an Overpower attack. You can find more information on the arena on the Faiyum Oasis page, but the more important part of this is that you should at least make some attempt to upgrade your Overpower skill using other skills found later in the Warrior skill tree.

• Slasher

  Kill 3 enemies with one hit.

  
  

• Fatality!

  Finish an arena boss with an Overpower Attack.

  
  

The Hunter

The Hunter branch is composed mostly of both archery- and assassination-related skills. Investing in this tree early will greatly increase your potential with bows and the various types of arrows, and is the best skill tree for anyone who likes to sneak around as opposed to running through enemies with a giant mace. These skills are also useful for the more combat-oriented as well, so don't hesitate to look into this tree when you have the chance.

For the first achievement, you need to kill ten enemies in a row without entering combat. This is easiest done with sneak attacks and arrows, of course, but if you're going unarmed, you need to shoot an arrow into your fallen enemies to actually count a kill. This shouldn't be too hard if you're paying close attention to the enemies in a populated area.

• Shadow of Egypt

  Kill 10 enemies in a row without being detected.

  
  

Acquire the Enhanced Predator Bow skill perk and use it to kill an enemy that's at least 60m away for another achievement. You can check the distance between you and an enemy by marking him with Senu. It might be a good idea to try this on a sleeping enemy since that'd be the easiest way to make sure your target isn't moving. A good place for this might be the Psenemphaia Hideout, which is next to the northernmost viewpoint in Sapi-Res Nome.

• The Arrow Whisperer

  Kill an enemy with the predator bow from more than 60 meters while controlling the arrow.

  
  

For the next achievement, you need the Elite Ranger perk. This one is a bit less complicated since all you have to do for this one is get a headshot while its slow-motion effects are in play. Alexandria is filled with buildings and enemies, making for a great sniping spot against lower-leveled enemies. I personally got this at Alexandria's Akra Garrison, to the southeast of the city's fast travel point.

• Archer of the Month

  Headshot kill an enemy with the bow while in the air.

  
  

Alongside the DLC is an achievement for having Senu harass someone once you have the Eagle Harass skill. When someone is being harassed, perform a headshot on them to get the achievement.

• Team Play

  Kill an enemy with a headshot while they are being harassed by Senu (The Hidden Ones)

  
  

The Seer

The Seer branch consists of skills related to tools and other weapons, like bombs, sleep darts, and so on, and also has some "miscellaneous" skills to boot. For those not too interested in something like smokescreens, you can always look at the Salesman, Buy Materials, and Backstore perks, which greatly affect your buying and selling prowess. Another very useful skill is the Breath Holding Champion skill, which increases the amount of time you can stay underwater.

For the first two achievements in this set, you'll want to learn the Sleep Darts and Animal Taming skills and go to Camp Pyrrhos in Sapi-Res Nome. Kill the enemies there and tame a lion after shooting a sleep dart at it, then take it to a crocodile in the waters to the north. Once they start fighting, you should get the second of these achievements.

• Roooaaarrrrr!

  Tame a lion.

  
  

• Set-up Date

  Bring a tamed lion to a crocodile.

  
  

For the next achievement, you only have to use the Dawn & Dusk skill 30 times total. You'll be doing this fairly often if you have the perk early on in the game, so you probably won't have to boost this out.

• Namaste

  Use Dawn & Dusk to make time speed forward 30 times.

  
  

For the most complicated Seer achievement, you need to have Poison Darts and preferably the Pyromaniac skill. Find an enemy that's at least Lv35, shoot a poison dart at him, and then kill him with your torch. The higher level you are, the easier it'll be to kill him, so keep that in mind if your level cap is Lv55 with the DLC.

• Overdesign

  Kill a poisoned level 35+ enemy with the torch in less than 30 seconds.

  
  

Inventory

When you look at your gear, you'll see 14 different areas that can be customized. You can hold up to two different bows at once from your selection, as well as two melee weapons, but these extra slots must be unlocked with skills. Next up are the outfits and mounts; outfits don't have any bonuses or anything tied to them, but you can get a few little nods back to earlier Assassin's Creed titles by checking the Ubisoft Club. Mounts, however, vary in performance, with camels being slower than horses and horses being slower than chariots. Shields are important for one-handed weapon builds, and tools are items like the fire bomb and sleep dart, which you can unlock through The Seer skill tree. Below all of this are your six equipment slots, which you can read up on below.

Weapons

By clicking on your melee weapons for the first time, you'll notice that you can sort them by their type, their level, and the last weapon you've looked at. Managing them by type (called categories in the in-game menu) is probably your best bet in the early game, since you won't have too many to look at and you'll be able to learn which weapons are used in which ways. Regular Swords work alongside your Shield slot, Dual Swords obviously take up two hands, and so on. Unarmed combat means that you'll be fighting with your bare hands, and won't actually be killing enemies when their health is taken down. Aside from that, Unarmed doesn't do anything special, but it'll be harder to take down enemies.

There are four types of bows in the game. Hunter bows are your standard bow, nothing special. Light bows allow you to fire very quickly in exchange for damage output. The warrior bow is a similar concept, but you'll be able to fire several arrows at once time like a shotgun as opposed to one at a time rapidly like the light bows do. The last type of bow is the predator bow, which has a sight on it and has a far smaller ammo capacity. All of the capabilities of the bows are best improved upon in the Hunter skill tree.

Shields are what you use to block attacks, of course. They're given differing bonuses unlike the melee weapons and bows, so you need to pay more attention to them. If you don't plan on using shields, however, you'll want to focus on equipping the shield with the highest HP stat anyway; this HP is added to your own regardless of whether or not you use it, so upgrading your favorite or finding a better one can be pretty important.

Tools are items such as poison darts, smokescreens, and sleep darts. These are always useful to have unlocked when you're stuck in a weird situation. When you unlock your first tool, you'll be able to upgrade your new piece of equipment, the tool pouch.

All types of weapons and shields have their own required level that must be reached before you can use them. Each weapon and shield has some bonus effect added to it. The same weapon or shield has the same stats as another with the same name; if you have two Rusty Swords, they'll have the same stats and abilities at the same level. Because of this, there's no need to hold onto two of the same item, so you may as well sell them when you get the chance.

Despite the below achievement's description, you should aim to have two legendary bows, two legendary melee weapons, a legendary shield, outfit, and finally a mount. You need two specific perks to hold two melee weapons and bows at once, so those are prerequisites to the achievement. As for a mount, you should be able to buy one more easily with the Chariot Owner perk and the ones leading up to it. Outfits can be bought from tailors, but you can also get tons of legendary outfits from the Ubisoft Club and will earn others by progressing through the game.

• I'm a Legend

  Be equipped with only Legendary equipment.

  
  1 guide

Equipment

Your equipment is very important, and you should focus on improving it very early on into the game. Doing so will require more and more crafting materials, but you can at least pin your hunt for these materials in the menu. You can even see how much your stats would improve by hovering over each piece of equipment and looking at the bottom of your screen. Some equipment will naturally be more important for you to upgrade based on your playstyle, but having all of it as best as can be is never a bad thing to strive for.

It takes a LOT of materials to fully upgrade all six pieces of equipment to their base game maximum, which isn't even necessary, but you'll want to upgrade them a cumulative total of 20 times. The later upgrades require carbon crystals (diamonds), which are hard to come by, but there are enough in the base game locations for you to avoid purchasing them. When upgrading, go with whatever you actually use as a first priority; the breastplate is always a great pick since you'll always want more health.

The Hidden Ones DLC adds a few more upgrade levels to your equipment. The Curse of the Pharaohs DLC also adds more upgrade levels, but you can only perform these final upgrades by using Star Shards found in the DLC's special areas. There's an achievement for making at least one of these final enhancements.

• Handy Man

  Craft 20 items.

  
  

• Project Comet

  Craft an upgrade using Shards of a Star (The Curse of the Pharaohs)

  
  

Completion

As you travel across Egypt, you'll be given the chance to complete everything the game has to offer. You'll have to do most of it for the achievements below, and to make things a bit easier for you, each region of the country has been given its own page to isolate its quests and locations from another. You can filter out completed locations with to more easily find unfinished locations if you're having trouble finding something in an area.

You don't need to finish all of the side quests to earn the end goal achievement, nor do you have to destroy the Ptolemy statues or finish the Papyrus Puzzles, but if you're enjoying the game, you may as well, right? Quests are given more detail in the first region they appear in -- if a quest starts in one region and has you travel elsewhere, then the info for the quest will be on the page for the starting region. And if you were wondering, Ptolemy statues can be broken with just your fists (or even by throwing torches at them), so if you're trying to go for a fists-only playthrough, you're in luck on that front.

The achievements below are listed here because there's no way of gauging which of the locations you'll be finishing last, as each person playing the game will want to tackle things differently. Stone Circles, for example, are in multiple regions, so those will be given detail on the regions they appear in, but the achievement is listed here since you could go about them at any order you feel like. The Serqet locations for the last achievement here are in the DLC areas of The Curse of the Pharaohs.

• Raider of the Lost Tomb

  Complete a tomb.

• I Know My Land

  Defog the whole map.

  
  

• Stargazer

  Complete all 12 Stone Circles.

  
  

• Master Diver

• Old Habits

  Complete all locations.

  
  

• Sting in the Tale

  Complete the 5 Serqet locations (The Curse of the Pharaohs)

  
  

The Aaru is one of the four Afterlife locations in the DLC, visited in the main story. There's a little over ten locations here, so it compares fairly well with a normal region in the "real world".

Quest: Love or Duty

Suggested: Lv46

Reward: 5000XP, Legendary Hunter Bow

A man named Het is worried about his wife, who still hasn't met him here in the afterlife. Head to the Lodge of Names and find out that the wife's real name wasn't used; you'll have to perform the ritual her husband was doing yourself. Run on over to the Royal Bakery to the north and pick up four pieces of bread by smashing jars, then look around to the east of the area for incense. To perform the ritual, head to the Palace of the Lady of Grace and follow the light that comes out of it. It's going to be a long chase, but it'll eventually flow into an Anubis priest. Kill it to release the light and free his wife.

Location: Brewers' Landing

Location: To the south.

Objectives: Loot Treasure (x2)

Ships occasionally pass by here, so try to raid this place when they're not around. When you attack the priests here, go for the one with a staff first; he can resurrect his fallen allies.

Location: Dock of the Eclipse

Location: To the east, the upper of the two locations there.

Objectives: Loot Treasure (x2)

Ships occasionally pass by here, so try to raid this place when they're not around. This place is also one of the best to get the Pyromaniac achievement. Just set the dock on fire and don't approach it yourself until everyone there dies by fire.

Location: Foundation Offering

Location: To the west.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

Just drop down the hole in the ground and you'll be able to get an essentially free treasure.

Location: Gate of Aaru

Location: At the entrance to Aaru.

Objectives: Read the Stelae

Just read the stelae hidden in a broken-down wooden structure.

Location: House of Libations

Location: To the south.

Objectives: Read the Stelae

You'll be coming here for the main story, so use that opportunity to read the stelae in one of the buildings here.

Location: House of the Threshed Grain

Location: To the east, the lower of the two locations there.

Objectives: Loot Treasure (x2)

This little set of buildings is completely unguarded. You'll be able to get the treasures with ease.

Location: Leaning Statue

Location: To the north, not far from the center.

Objectives: Read the Stelae

Stand at the base of the statue to find a small cave with the stelae inside.

Location: Lodge of Names

Location: To the northeast.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Loot Treasure

You'll come here if you want to do the quest Love or Duty. There are a handful of priests here, so coming here for the quest would save yourself some time if you're planning to do both.

Location: Nefertiti's Spring

Location: To the southeast.

Objectives: Read the Stelae

The stelae is at the spring that you have to visit for the story.

Location: Nut's Gift

Location: In the large crater to the northeast.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

Several Anubis priests are protecting this place. The treasure should be on the ship docked here, but you'll want to pick up the one inside one of the tents as well.

Location: Palace of the Lady of Grace

Location: In the middle of Aaru.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Kill Commander, Loot Treasure (x2)

This large palace isn't too bad to wipe out if you're at a good level. The work is well worth it, as you'll earn more than 2000XP for clearing the place.

Location: Royal Bakery

Location: To the north, at the border.

Objectives: Loot Treasure (x3)

You'll come here if you want to do the quest Love or Duty. There are lots of Anubis priests here. You'd best be ready for a fight, because you probably won't be able to get to all the treasures (and bread) without getting in one.

Location: Serqet's Altar

Location: To the southwest.

Objectives: Kill Animal

This is one of the locations you need to complete for the Sting in the Tale achievement. Two very high-leveled scorpions protect this altar, and you'll probably have a bad time fighting them regardless of your strategy, even at Lv55. You should consider killing the scorpion that isn't considered the alpha so that if/when you die, you'll only have to face the alpha when you respawn.

Location: Tower of the Deathless Feathers

Location: At the viewpoint.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

There's nothing here but the treasure and a scorpion. If you haven't fought one before, it shouldn't be too challenging since it's just a one-on-one fight.

You'll head to Alexandria early on in the story, and the region is fairly small comparatively. There are just three viewpoints, but there's still quite a lot to do regardless of their size.

Quest: A Tithe By Any Other Name

Suggested: Lv10

Reward: 800XP

Once you finish the quest Serapis Unites (see below), the priest in the Temple of Serapis will ask of you another favor. The guards have been taking more food than the tithe requires and as a result have been starving the people of the city. Locate the food cart around the city and sneak up behind it, where you'll first catch up with two men on horseback. You can silently get rid of them with takedowns if you want, isolating the one guy with the hay cart. If you've been stealthy, all you should have to do is hop in the hay and kill him with another takedown.

After you do this, take no time getting in the cart, as enemies seem to endlessly appear to stop you as you take the cart down to where the priest has moved to. But once you get it down to him, just hop out of the cart and talk to him to finish the quest.

Quest: Cat's Cradle

Suggested: Lv32

Reward: 2250XP

The death of a cat, Egypt's sacred animal, has upset some townsfolk. Investigate the area and follow a bloody trail to a rather passionate worshipper of Bastet, the cat god. Escort him towards Bastet's temple, since that's clearly a man of such fervor belongs. You'll have to fight a couple groups of soldiers to get out of the city, but that shouldn't take too long.

Quest: Higher Education

Suggested: Lv21

Reward: 1500XP

It looks like Tefibi is up to no good again (see The Accidental Philosopher). The guards have taken a papyrus very important to his mother in retaliation for Tefibi's consistent stealing habits. Grab a boat by the coast near here and sail out to the boat with the papyrus on it. There are two enemies on this first boat that you're tracking, both of which are around Lv22. If you want to juke this quest (assuming you're around Lv19 or so), you can juke the guys out of their boat by aggravating them and hiding underneath it in the water. They should hop out for a swim; leave them out there for a while and then climb back on the boat so you can pelt them with arrows while they're vulnerable. Confirm the kill on one of the guards, which will give you the papyrus stolen from Tefibi, then come back to his mother to deliver it.

Quest: Phylakes' Prey

Suggested: Lv40

Reward: Legendary Outfit

This quest is started as soon as you kill your first Phylakes, and that'll probably the one walking around Alexandria, since he's at the lower end of the level spectrum. Sneak attacks work wonders on these guys, so make sure you at least make an attempt for a sneak attack if you can before engaging in combat. You can find all of the Phylakes on the map, marked by big red helmets; their level is displayed too, so you can figure out whether or not you'll be able to take one of these monsters on. You may have noticed that this quest doesn't give any XP upon finishing it. This is because that with each Phylakes that you kill, you'll take their most prominent piece of equipment as a souvenir. I'd say it's a fair trade-off, since you'll already need to be at a high level to fight these guys anyway.

After killing all ten targets, talk to Abar in Herakleion Nome, who will refuse to give you her final key unless you prove your worth by killing the crocodiles near the village. After you get the key, get to the chest and claim your prize.

• Defy Authority

  Defeat a Phylakes.

  
  

Quest: Phylakitai in the Eye

Suggested: Lv22

Reward: 1500XP, Mount

Phanos has tracked down the Phylakitai that have been giving him and his fellow poets such trouble throughout the city. All three of them will be around the city, so be careful as you track them down. They're pretty tough to fight.

For the Armory, you need to kill absolutely everyone inside. This is a tough task for someone even at Lv20, so you should probably just come back at a later level. The chariot, fortunately, is a much different story. There are only two enemies riding it, and only one of them has to be killed to satisfy the quest. For the group patrolling the canal, try to get them from behind and use a takedown on the one in the back. There won't be any room for the other soldier to move, so you should be able to freely pound on him until he's dead, too. Talk to Phanos once again, and he'll finally be free to spread his wisdom across the city.

Quest: Serapis Unites

Suggested: Lv10

Reward: 800XP

The temple's drummer has been unrightfully jailed, and the priest in charge will ask you for help. The poor drummer is kept up inside Kibotos Arsenal, which is directly north of the temple. Find him and sneak him out of the arsena, then lay him on the ground and talk to him. He'll say that in order to clear his name, the pelt that he was accused of stealing needs to be returned. This pelt can be found near the temple you started at, so once the quest updates you can just fast travel back there.

A bunch of bandits will be holed out in a house with the pelt, so you'll need to beat it out of them. Once you have it, return to the priest to finish the quest.

Quest: Symposiasts

Suggested: Lv21

Reward: 1500XP

Thanks to the success of Phanos's play, the man wants to invite Bayek to a celebration. Follow him a long ways over to the party. Before you can start celebrating, however, a bunch of guards have come in to attack Phanos. This is a pretty hard fight, even at Lv20, so it's worth noting that you can take cover on the roof of the building where the celebration is taking place and fire arrows at the enemies' heads from there. Talk to Phanos once everything has calmed down and the quest will end.

Quest: The Accidental Philosopher

Suggested: Lv20

Reward: 1500XP

You really shouldn't attempt this quest until you're at least Lv19.

A worried mother wants you to find her son, Tefibi. He's trying to become a philosopher, but he hasn't come back from a cave he was looking through for some time now. Run over to the beach to start your investigation, and follow the trail created by Tefibi. There's a lot of blood all over the place; you shouldn't have much trouble finding it. The trail leads to a door on a side of the lighthouse, so brace yourself and bust the door open.

As you lead him home, he and Bayek will talk about the state of the Medjay of the Old Kingdom before the two are attacked by three or four Lv20 Greek soldiers. If you're not up to their level, you'll need to be extremely careful in dealing with them. Tefibi can lose his health, which will only result in him falling to the sand, so don't worry about that when the message pops up. When they're all dealt with, Tefibi will admit to his thieving actions that caused the attack in the first place, and he'll go home on his own, finishing the quest.

Quest: The Last Bodyguard

Suggested: Lv15

Reward: 800XP, Miscellaneous

A man named Phidias wants you to protect some precious cargo of his: his daughter Kara. She won't want to go home, of course, and will have you run a few errands around town first. However, on your way to pick up some linens at the market, someone will steal her horse. Kill the man who took it and bring it back to her to finish the quest.

Quest: The Odyssey

Suggested: Lv10

Reward: 800XP

After a while, the priest of Serapis from a few of the other quests in Alexandria will be in trouble once more. After his little stunt with returning the food back to the people, there's now a bounty on his head, and he needs to leave the city. All you'll have to do is take him to the temple on the northern island, which will take short work with use of your mount.

Quest: The Shifty Scribe

Suggested: Lv11

Reward: 750XP

A troubled woman is concerned about her imprisoned husband, and she will ask of you to free him. Go on over to the general area he's being kept in, locate him, and free him from the cage he's in. Then wipe out the guards that come in to stop you and take him to the docks with your mount. Place him on the boat and talk to him to finish the quest.

Quest: Wrath of the Poets

Suggested: Lv20

Reward: 1500XP

After talking with Aya underneath the Great Library, Phanos will be giving a speech near the northern coast. The guards don't like his new play all too much, and are threatening him with death if he tries to put it on. Bayek will promise to find the actors that work for Phanos as long as he promises to stay low. The actors are coincidentally being held in the same area that you're headed to for one of the new story quests you got recently, the Akra Garrison, so that'll be pretty convenient for you.

After rescuing one of the actors, take him out of the restricted area and set him down so you can talk to him. He'll tell you that there a couple more actors to save, and that the script needs to be recovered as well. Head back into the garrison and look for a very strong soldier with the script, then kill him and take it. If you happen to die trying to get the script, you'll be happy to know that the guard with it will appear outside of the garrison when you're back on your feet. This will make things a lot easier for you.

The first actor you come across will be hiding in his house; that is, until a horde of Lv20 guards swarm the place looking for him. Defeat them all and take the actor to a main street so he can get back to the theater, then meet Phanos back there yourself. It's faster to fast travel closer to his position than to run there. After talking to him, he'll express his gratitude, but he won't be troubled for long. He'll have another quest for you after the end of this one.

Location: Akra Garrison

Location: In the southeastern corner of the city.

Objectives: Kill Captain (x2), Kill Commander, Loot Treasure (x4)

This is a very, very big military base, and it's probably the biggest one that you've seen up to this point in the game unless you went your own way exploring. Track down all the important objectives, tag soldiers, and be sneaky, and you should do okay. If not, don't forget that you can always just run away in a pinch if necessary. If you don't want reinforcements coming in, be sure to sabotage the brazier at the northern entrance.

Location: Armory

Location: Northeast of the fast travel point for the city of Alexandria.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

There are some real high level enemies in this armory, usually around Lv21, so if you want to get to this treasure before hitting that level, you'll want to be very careful about it.

Location: Aya's Home

Location: South of the fast travel point for the city of Alexandria.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

Aya's house is swarming with enemies, waiting for her to come back. If you'd prefer to do as little as possible, climb nearby rooftops and drop down into the walled-off garden, which will let you into the house's interior and grab the treasure.

Location: East Mediterranean Trireme

Location: Sailing around a small island in the seas north of the city of Alexandria. It can also appear in the northern seas of Kanopos Nome.

Objectives: Kill Captain

If you're around Lv9, you might have some trouble with killing the captain here, as the trireme has five men on it. If you have the patience, it's a good idea to wait until you're a higher level, OR you can try setting the ship on fire. It's up to you.

Location: Emporion Berthed Trireme

Location: On the northern coast of Alexandria proper.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

You can get to the treasure in the tent most easily by climbing up the northern side of the ship, but the trireme is so loosely guarded that it might not be worth the effort.

Location: Great Library

Location: A bit northwest of the fast travel point for the city of Alexandria.

Objectives: Find the nearby hidden Papyrus

Take a left after entering the library, and you'll find the scroll on a small table. This puzzle is called Divided Valley.

Location: Great Synagogue

Location: Northeast, on the border between Alexandria and Kanopos Nome.

Objectives: Find the nearby hidden Papyrus

This papyrus is in the garden behind the synagogue, on a small table. The riddle is called Nature's Way.

Location: Iseon

Location: On the large northern island of Alexandria.

Objectives: Find the nearby hidden Papyrus

This scroll is inside the temple of Iseon. The "problem" with finding this one is merely that the entrance to the temple is on the southern side of the building. This puzzle is called Deafening Silence.

Location: Kibotos Arsenal

Location: On the northern coast of Alexandria proper.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Kill Commander, Loot Treasure (x2)

It's a good idea to look for the brazier here and set a trap on it, because there's a soldier right next to it. You'll want to take him out too, of course, but setting that brazier up is pretty important here. There's a good chance that you'll be in combat enough for someone to try to set the fire. One of the treasures is going to be fairly close to one of the leading enemies, and the other treasure is right above the first, so you shouldn't have to do too much exploring.

Location: Mareia Military Storage

Location: Near the coast, within the territory of the farmland.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

This place is pretty small, but you'll have to contend with a few guards to get the treasure. But, if you'd like to, you can try whistling in front of the northern doorway to lure guards out so you can use takedowns on them, one by one, until the rest spot you or the place is cleared out.

Location: Mareia Trireme

Location: Parked at the southern docks of Alexandria.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

This ship is guarded by about five enemies, so if you can handle them, feel free to run in blades blazing. Or, if you wait long enough, the enemies should eventually walk away to give you an opening to grab the loot and leave.

Location: Narrow Crevice

Location: Off the coast, almost at the border of Lake Mareotis.

Objectives: Loot Treasure (x2)

As you would expect, this location is simply a narrow crevice in the lake floor, and you can find two treasures down there at the bottom. Things will go more smoothly if you have the Breath Holding Champion skill, but it isn't necessary.

Location: Pharos Garrison

Location: At the viewpoint to the north.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Kill Commander, Loot Treasure (x2)

If you've already hit the viewpoint up before going for this, then you'll be able to teleport straight to the top and grab the first chest up there. The second one is about halfway up the building. The captain and the commander are at around ground level, so at least you won't have any trouble getting to them.

Location: Pharos Military Storage

Location: At the southern end of the large island to the north.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

As you'd expect with a military outpost, there are a few enemies here protecting the treasure inside. This might not be the case for everyone, but there's a good chance that a guard that parries your attacks will be in here, and he'll be the worst of your worries. Try to sneak around him to attack after he does to score some damage on him.

Location: Royal Palace

Location: On a peninsula to the northeast.

Objectives: Loot Treasure (x3)

The palace is another highly guarded area, swarming with soldiers to fight. Scan the area before heading in, and be sure to figure out where the treasures are so you're not doing anything you don't have to. All three treasures are inside buildings.

Location: Sarapeion

Location: At the southwest viewpoint.

Objectives: Find the nearby hidden Papyrus

This place is very open. You'll be able to find the scroll here really easily. This puzzle is called The Stone Gaze.

Location: South Wall Guard Post

Location: South of Aya's Home, which is in turn south of the fast travel point for the city of Alexandria.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

This should be a simple completion. The treasure is high up on the wall, and there shouldn't be more than five guards up there to sneak past or fight to get to it.

Location: Tomb of Alexander the Great

Location: Northeast of the fast travel point for the city of Alexandria.

Objectives: Find the nearby hidden Papyrus

To find this scroll, walk into the tomb/temple and climb up the pillars to the closed-off place above it. The scroll, called Ray of Hope, will be at the foot of a statue here.

Arsinoe Nome is kind of small, but it's still got just about as many locations as Klysma Nome.

Quest: Shards from a Star

Suggested: Lv43

Reward: 8000XP

After receiving a scroll from Gamilat during the main story, you'll be given this quest to solve the riddle inside the scroll. First, travel to the Temple of Thoth in Arsinoe and jump down to the massive tree in the middle of the temple. Look for some weak-looking roots and smash them apart so you can find a crystal that belongs at the top of the viewpoint.

Once it's in place it'll send beams of light into the temple towards two mirrors. Redirect the mirrors towards the two statues closest to the middle of the temple so that they shine on the door you got the crystal from. Inside are dual blades that will finish the quest when picked up.

Location: Amenmesse Pyramid Camp

Location: South of Arsinoe.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Loot Treasure

During the story, you enter the interior of the pyramid. The captain and treasure, on the other hand, are on top of the structure. There are fewer enemies here than there appear to be, so it should actually be pretty easy to wipe this place clean.

Location: Arsinoe Sundial

Location: Northeast of Arsinoe's marker on the map. Easily identifiable as a rectangle with lines in it, with the pillar at the center.

Objectives: ---

The sundial isn't technically a location, but you'll want to jump off of it between 10AM and 12PM to get an achievement. Once at the top, take note of the one line in the middle that has an opening in the wall at the end of it instead of a torch. That's 12PM, and each line represents one hour. Count two torches to the left of that center line and wait for the shadow of the sundial to fall between them.

A safe jump would be done at 11AM or so, just to prevent the shadow from "technically" not being past 10AM or being after 12PM. The Dawn & Dusk skill is a big help for this achievement. When you use it, it might seem that the sky just happens to be foggy that day; that isn't actually the case, you just have to wait on top of the sundial's obelisk for the sun to come out.

This achievement does take a while if you're not lucky enough to have the shadow be at the proper time when you arrive to set this up. You should find something to do while periodically checking the time to make this less of a hassle for yourself.

• What Time is It?

  Perform a leap of faith from Arsinoe's sundial obelisk between 10 am and noon (The Hidden Ones)

  
  1 guide

Location: Castra Litore

Location: North of Vilicus Castra, on the coast.

This small camp is easy to clear. The captain shouldn't be too far from the treasure here.

Location: Castra Pyramis

Location: Southeast of Arsinoe.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Loot Treasure

Another of many soldier fortifications in Arsinoe. This one shouldn't pose many problems, as there are lots of things to hide behind and quite a lot of grass as well.

Location: In the northeast corner of the region, on the coast.

Objectives: Kill Animal

The standard animal lair. This should be simple by now.

Location: Deconstructed Monument

Location: In the city of Arsinoe.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

The treasure's at the top of the monument. If you're missing zipline kills, this would be a good place to get it if you leave everyone alone and rush to the top.

Location: Faucibus Amenmesse

Location: South of the Deconstructed Monument.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Loot Treasure

This place consists of a bunch of tents inside a walled-off area. If you think it's worth your time, set a trap on the brazier up top to prevent any backup from coming in later.

Location: Forgotten Ruin

Location: West of Fort Clostra.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

There's just one treasure here, and it's real easy to get to. This place isn't that complicated.

Location: Fort Clostra

Location: At the southern border of the region.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Kill Commander, Loot Treasure (x2)

This fort is kind of out-of-the-way, but the story fortunately brings you here about halfway through. Take this opportunity to get everything done so you don't have to make a return trip.

Location: Madiama

Location: In the northeast corner of the region, in the mountains.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Loot Treasure

A large bandit camp. Try to be as stealthy as possible if you can help it, because it's easy for everyone here to overwhelm you.

Location: Temple of Ba'al

Location: In the city of Arsinoe.

Objectives: Find the nearby hidden Papyrus

The puzzle is high up on a wooden scaffold. The puzzle is called Tool of Apis.

Location: Temple of Thoth

Location: Next to the viewpoint.

Objectives: Find the nearby hidden Papyrus

The scroll for the puzzle Good Things Come... is on a bookshelf in the back room of the temple.

Location: Vilicus Castra

Location: North of Arsinoe.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Kill Commander, Loot Treasure (x2)

This is a pretty big place, but if you're lucky rebels will already be fighting key enemies in here when you arrive. Take advantage of the situation by fighting alongside them to get the most out of their lives.

Atef-Pehu Nome is a very small region with not much to do within. Thank goodness for that, because there's already so much else to do.

Quest: Lights Among the Dunes

Suggested: Lv40

Reward: 3000XP, Legendary Light Bow

This quest probably won't show up on your map until later in the story, and can be started in either Atef-Pehu Nome, Haueris Nome, or Faiyum Oasis. Some speakers in each of these locations talk of a strange light in the Desheret Desert. If you've been here before, then you'll understand their confusion. If not, then head down to the quest marker and towards the only two locations in the entire Desheret region.

As you approach the area, undead bodies will rise up to fight you before returning to the dust of the earth. To get to the objective, you'll need to realign mirror pillars all throughout the walls of the tomb to open a door. A man named Parh will sit injured past the marker, demanding that you find his camel that holds the artifact that he found within this tomb. Upon finding it, you'll see some pretty strange stuff, after which you'll resolve to putting the artifact back where it belongs to prevent any more of this craziness happening anymore.

Another strange thing happens when you put the object back into place. Lots of enemies will appear out of nowhere, and after collapsing, you'll wake up in a house. A woman here will explain that she found you in the desert and will then send you on your way fit as a fiddle.

Quest: The Matriarch

Suggested: Lv31

Reward: 3750XP

The village leader is worried about a young woman taken by one of Ptolemy's men. Head to Kerke Wharf and rescue her, then drop her outside the camp so she can tell you about the camp commander. Return to the village leader to learn of where you can learn more about the commander, who you can find all the way in Memphis. Kill him and find the village leader's daughter, then break the news to her.

Location: Aneb-Hetch Anchorage

There are only three soldiers aboard this ship. You could easily get to the treasure without touching any of them.

Location: Desecrated Tomb

Objectives: Loot Treasure (x2)

There should only be a few soldiers here. Assuming you're at the right level, you shouldn't have any problems with them.

The Aten is similar to the other underworld areas, but almost half of it consists of water.

The stelae is underwater. You don't need to bother with the enemies on the bridge.

Location: Chambers of Reflection

Location: East of the Great Temple of Aten.

Objectives: Loot Treasure (x2)

This place is actually fairly small. The treasures are close together, so you won't be here long. Don't forget to destroy the symbol here.

Location: Crocodile Lair

Location: To the far west, past the West Gate.

Objectives: Kill Animal

If you don't want to land on an island filled with crocodiles, consider firing arrows at them from a boat in the water instead.

Objectives: Read the Stelae

The stelae is in a small building to the east. You'll have to climb behind a purple flag to get inside.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

The treasure here is underwater.

Location: Great Temple of the Aten

Location: North of the viewpoint.

Objectives: Loot Treasure (x2)

Although the temple may seem large and confusing at first glance, it's basically just a straight line. The two treasures are in this straight line, so they're easy to find.

Location: Guardians of the Aten

Location: At the entrance.

Objectives: Read the Stelae

The stelae here is at a statue. This won't take long.

Location: House of the Sacred Crocodile

The Royal Barracks is a very large location, making up the entire island that it's on. The treasures are easy to find, but one of the leading soldiers might be way off to the east.

Location: Royal Palace

Location: South of the viewpoint.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Loot Treasure

The palace is split into two halves. There's the scorpion half (with a symbol you need to destroy for the story) and there's a guard half, which is where you'll find the captain. It's really easy to jump down onto the captain from above, eliminating the toughest enemy from the guard half. The treasure is underneath the palace; look for a tunnel with Senu and you'll be led to a snake-ridden room with the treasure inside.

Location: Serqet's Garden

Location: To the northeast, fairly unique on the map.

Objectives: Kill Animal

This is one of the locations you need to complete for the Sting in the Tale achievement. Very high-leveled scorpions protect this altar, and you'll probably have a bad time fighting them regardless of your strategy, even at Lv55. You should consider firing arrows at the scorpions from the base of one of the black statues high up on the wall. They'll only be able to spit poison at you from the ground, and the Favor of Osiris skill makes this even easier.

Location: Shrine of Akhenaten

Location: West of the viewpoint.

Objectives: Loot Treasure (x2)

The treasures here are easy to find. The temple one requires you to climb through a window inside of it.

Location: Tomb of the Warrior

Location: To the far east.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Loot Treasure

There are only about five or so enemies here, so you shouldn't find killing the captain too tedious, especially since there's lots of grass here.

Location: Vault of the Aten

Location: On an island east of the bridge; southeast of the viewpoint.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

Dive underwater to the west to get inside the vault. The treasure will be very close to a symbol you need to destroy for the story.

Location: West Gate

Location: West of the viewpoint and the Shrine of Akhenaten.

Objectives: Read the Stelae

The stelae is in a room filled with vases. Just bust open the door and break them so you can read the stelae.

Location: Wharf of the Aten

Location: To the northwest.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Kill Commander, Loot Treasure (x2)

One of the two important soldiers will be guarding one of the treasures, and the other should be with the symbol you need to destroy for the story.

The massive region that is the Black Desert only has three locations, and fortunately none of them are combat-oriented.

Location: Nomarch's Tomb

Location: West of Faiyum's western viewpoint.

Objectives: Find the Ancient Tablet

There's a notable amount of Silica in this tomb, so keep an eye out for it. Early on into the tomb is a weight "puzzle", which just requires you to push a large object underneath a lever so you can run up it towards a ledge. Bust open a door on the balcony above and you'll have already found the ancient tablet. Bust the wall in this room to get to Seshem.eff Er Aat.

Location: Ra-Horakhty Mountain Top

Location: The top of the mountain in the region.

Objectives: Find a place to rest

Best to come here from the closest viewpoint in the Isolated Desert. It's going to be quite a climb regardless of the direction you come from. By discovering this place, you'll earn an achievement.

• I Can See My House From Here!

  Reach the "Top of the World" in the Black Desert territory.

  
  

Location: Seshem.eff Er Aat

Location: At the end of Nomarch's Tomb.

Objectives: Activate the Ancient Mechanism

Dive into the water to get to the ancient mechanism. Several pieces of Silica lie at the bottom of the water as well. After activating the mechanism, you won't have to worry about air supply, which is nice.

The Desheret Desert only has two locations right next to each other. Since you don't need to fight anyone here, you can technically come here whenever you want.

Location: Qeneb too Kah'Aiye

Location: At the end of Seth-Anat Tomb.

Objectives: Activate the Ancient Mechanism

The mechanism will be straight ahead. Some more Silica pieces lay nearby.

Location: Seth-Anat Tomb

Location: The only building in the region, visible from the map.

Objectives: Find the Ancient Tablet

This tomb starts out with some light beams and mirrors. You'll have to move a mirror into place up on the high walls at the start of the area to continue the beam further into the tomb, and will have to keep doing this until the light reaches the end. Don't forget that you can throw torches; you'll have to get rid of some spiderwebs along the way. Drop down below the last light beam and you'll find a newly opened door with your tablet inside. Turn west into another doorway to get to the next location.

The Duat is one of four afterlife locations. This one is tied to the Tomb of King Tutankhamen.

Quest: A Necessary Evil

Suggested: Lv53

Reward: 7500XP

This is a subquest for Shield or Blade. At the Alter of Apep, you'll find four samples of the essence of darkness. They're fairly spread out, so be sure to look around for them. They give off a strange aura which helps in finding them.

Quest: A Sister's Vow

Suggested: Lv52

Reward: 6000XP

After finishing Burnt Offerings, another side quest, you'll get this one upon first entering the Duat. Just find Ranofer and give him the amulet to finish the quest.

Quest: Khepri's Amulet

Suggested: Lv53

Reward: 7500XP

This is a subquest for Shield or Blade. It's a long way up to the amulet.

Quest: Shield or Blade

Suggested: Lv53

Reward: 8500XP, Legendary Outfit

Thoth has spoken to a woman that tells you to take a tablet from the Hall of Knowing and give it to her. With this spell in hand, Bayek needs to collect the three ingredients required for it to work. When you have them all, start the ritual and fend off Anubis' men. When they stop, watch the ritual cease to take place.

Quest: The God's Spark

Suggested: Lv53

Reward: 7500XP

This is a subquest for Shield or Blade. Just loot an essence of a god from the Funeral Parlor to end the quest.

Location: Altar of Apep

Location: Next to Apep Khat.

Objectives: Read the Stelae

There shouldn't be anything here but the stelae.

Location: Altar of the Guardians

Location: North of the Temple of Tutankhamun.

Objectives: Loot Treasure (x2)

The altar consists of a small building outside of a cave, both of which hold their own treasures. There aren't many options for sneaking here, so you may as well take the enemies on for the experience. Well, there's some grass outside the cave, but that only helps with some of the enemies outside.

Location: Apep Khat

Location: Southwest of the viewpoint.

Objectives: Loot Treasure (x3)

Drop down to the water at ground level. All three treasures are in separate, unguarded caves down here.

Location: Canyon Treasury

Location: Northeast of the viewpoint.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

For this place, you need to climb up to another building and drop down there to reach the treasure.

Location: Cavern of Anubis

Location: At the southern end of the Duat.

Objectives: Loot Treasure (x3)

Barely anyone, three soldiers tops, will stop you from collecting all three treasures in this cave. You'd think that they'd be more protective of a place named after Anubis.

Location: Central Gate

Location: South of the viewpoint.

Objectives: Loot Treasure (x2)

The treasures here are protected by only a few soldiers that are easy to sneak up on.

Location: Funeral Parlor

Location: Next to the Funeral Parlor Store.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Kill Commander, Loot Treasure (x2)

You'll be coming here for the quest Shield or Blade. The place isn't very big and mostly consists of two large rooms. Each treasure is protected by one of the key soldiers.

Location: Funeral Parlor Store

Location: South of the viewpoint.

Objectives: Read the Stelae

The stelae is found in an underground room, accessed by burning a set of straw above a stairway.

Location: Guardian of Apep

Location: Next to the Altar of Apep.

Objectives: Loot Treasure (x3)

This place is very small and only has four guards posted nearby. Getting the treasures is very easy.

Location: Hall of Knowing

Location: At the viewpoint.

Objectives: Read the Stelae

There are no enemies here. To get to the stelae, you need to enter the front doorway and climb into a high window.

Location: Halls of Serqet

Location: At the far northeast corner of the Duat.

Objectives: Kill Animal

This is one of the locations you need to complete for the Sting in the Tale achievement. Unlike the three other scorpion-based Serqet locations, you don't have much room to shoot at the scorpions from a safe distance here. Once you pass through a slit in the wall, immediately run left and climb up to one of the blue glowing flowers; you'll be using this for cover. From here, take down the lesser scorpion so that you're only dealing with one, then get rid of the alpha to complete the location.

Location: Lotus Cavern

Location: East of the viewpoint.

Objectives: Loot Treasure (x3)

The entrance to the cavern is hidden behind a big blue flower. Senu won't be able to locate anything when you're inside the cavern, so be sure to figure out where the treasures are before you enter the cavern.

Location: Natron Workshop

Location: South of the Funeral Parlor.

Objectives: Loot Treasure (x2)

There's nothing of note here but the two treasures that take little effort to reach.

Location: Sanctuary of Anubis

Location: North of the Cavern of Anubis.

Objectives: Read the Stelae

Once you enter the sanctuary, look on the west walls for a very well hidden crack taking you to the stelae.

Location: Scorpion Lair

Location: North of the viewpoint.

Objectives: Kill Animal

You should know how to fight scorpions by now. Fight them with your best strategies (mine is to fire at them from afar) until the alpha scorpion lays dead.

Location: Temple of Tutankhamun

Location: In the middle of the Duat.

Objectives: Loot Treasure (x2)

One treasure is at Tut's throne, and the other isn't even in the temple; it's outside the entrance. Senu can't really locate the one by Tut's throne very well.

Faiyum is a pretty big place. It'll take you a while to clear this place out, but the waters should take travel a bit easier.

Quest: Curse of Wadjet

Suggested: Lv25

Reward: 3750XP, Legendary Light Bow

Constant snake attacks are being blamed on a curse. Investigate the nearby area and speak to the people here to learn about a shrine to Wadjet, then head inside and look around. The whole burrow (its own location) is filled with snakes, but you should be able to ignite them all by tossing a torch just about anywhere in the room. A letter at the back of the room confirms that some people have been using the snakes to specifically attack Greeks in order to get them to leave the Faiyum. The caretaker and two other enemies will be waiting for you right outside the burrow. Kill him and make your way to the northwest to rescue the hostage being held there to put an end to all of this. Finding the hostage and taking him outside will finish the quest.

Quest: Demons in the Desert

Suggested: Lv39

Reward: 3000XP

After talking with a scared farmer about a boy fighting demons, look for the boy in a tower, who will explain the situation. Follow him into the White Desert Oasis region and get to the camp his father was taken to. Rescue the men inside and follow them out of the camp to learn that the man you're looking for isn't around. With Rahotep's father unconfirmed to be alive or dead, the group will set course to another camp, where the others you've rescued assume he's being held.

Kill the men at this second camp and take Rahotep's father to the docks to the north. Upon rendezvousing with the rest of the men, you'll finish the quest.

Quest: Feeding Faiyum

Suggested: Lv24

Reward: 3125XP

After finishing the Murder in the Temple quest, a woman nearby will ask you to help her husband. He witnesses soldiers taking a man, screaming, beneath the temple. But since the perpetrators were soldiers, he's not sure if he can trust the Phylakitai to deal with the problem, and fears his own safety as a witness. Speak to him and investigate the area underneath the temple to get a lead on a payment the soldiers are expecting from performing the deed they've done.

Upon reaching the payment, you'll find inscriptions leading you towards the city of Soknopaiou Nesos, which you can easily fast travel to if you've been there before. Four soldiers are protecting the storehouse with the payment. Past a weak door is a room containing all of the grain, and two soldiers speaking openly about The Butcher. When you find out where his office is, take the ladder to the east so you can knock out the Vault of Splendors location at the same time.

When you get closer to The Butcher's office, you'll automatically walk in and speak with him. It won't be long before things get violent. The quest ends when you confirm his death.

Quest: Fires of Dionysias

Suggested: Lv37

Reward: 4500XP, Rare Shield

Speak to the farmers who used to own the burnt-out farm. Follow her as she warns her neighbor about the attacks, as she fears he might be next. Turns out she's right. Rescue him from the fire-wielding bandits and talk to him to learn where the bandits must be hiding out. Travel to the White Desert Oasis and take out the bandit leader at the White Desert Sobek Ruins, only to find out that the actual leader was in Faiyum the whole time. Find him in the Caravanserai and assassinate him, then speak to Zahra outside the fort to finish the quest.

Quest: Forging Siwa

Suggested: Lv25

Reward: 2500XP, Legendary Sickle Sword

A man claims that a market in town is selling real Siwan goods. Find the market stall and speak to the girl running the stand, who will offer to show you to her campsite and her more expensive goods. On the way there, she'll spot her mother taken prisoner at the site. Simply cut down the bandits and free her to end the quest.

Quest: Murder in the Temple

Suggested: Lv24

Reward: 2500XP

Speak to a protector standing next to a dead body outside of the Sarapeion of Karanis, who will admit that this kind of thing is a bit out of his expertise. Investigate the scene, which will eventually lead up to the top of the room. Speak to the Phylakitai with your findings and rush over to what you believe to be the next victim and save him from an attack. After talking with him and the Phylakitai once more, you'll have ended this threat.

Quest: Rebel Strike

Suggested: Lv25

Reward: 2250XP

After helping Theodoros and his men in Saqqara Nome, this quest will appear. Join the men in an attack on the Beached Trireme Camp to the southwest until everyone there is dead. That's about it for this quest.

Quest: Sobek's Gold

Suggested: Lv27

Reward:

A priest is smacking a boy for stealing Sobek statues, even though they just sunk into the ocean as he was sailing with them. One is in the water, and the other is on one of the three ships in the water to the north. Take them back to the priest, who will threaten the boy with more punishments. Fend off the nearby soldiers protecting the priest and bring the boy back up on his feet to end the quest.

Quest: The Sickness

Suggested: Lv26

Reward:

Upon reaching a pile of burning corpses, speak to the healer as to why this has been happening. Investigate the food here and speak with the healer about it to learn about the merchant who makes it. Upon reaching his house, you'll find out that he's been intentionally making absolutely filthy food in order to take the land from the dead. Defeat him and his men to finish the quest.

Location: Abandoned Fishing Village

Location: West of the Beached Trireme Camp and south of the Vulture Lair. It's on the coast between the western viewpoint and Soknapaiou Nesos.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

This place may not appear on your map as a ? after synching with the viewpoints.

The fishing village might consist of only one enemy and a treasure chest. I never ran into anyone but one guy sitting by a fire.

Location: Bakchias

Location: Near the border of Faiyum and Saqqara Nome.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

You visit this place in a quest from Saqqara Nome called A Rebel Alliance, giving you the perfect time to kill two birds with one stone. Don't bother coming here until you start that quest.

Location: Beached Trireme Camp

Location: Southwest of Soknopaiou Nesos, on the coast.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Loot Treasure

If you start the quest Rebel Strike, you'll have several allies fight everyone here alongside you to make things a bit easier on yourself.

Location: Cleon's Wharf

Location: At the very border between Faiyum and Haueris Nome.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Loot Treasure

This is your usual enemy harbor. If you're trying to save discovering Haueris Nome for later, don't come here just yet. Trying to get to it will defog the region on your map.

Location: Covert Grain Store

Location: In the city of Soknopaiou Nesos.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

This place is basically just one building with three soldiers guarding a treasure. The roof can be burnt or shot open so you can get inside more easily, but you should wait for the distracted soldiers to realign themselves before dropping in.

Location: Dionysias Caravanserai

Location: West of Dionysias.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Kill Commander, Loot Treasure (x2)

Everyone here is in the high Lv30's. Take your time sneaking around when you get to this place, because getting caught is going to suck. If you're lucky like I was, the captain or commander might set himself on fire and die; that's probably not going to be a common occurrence, though.

Location: Dionysias Wharf

Location: At the northern tip of the land between the cities of Euhemeria and Dionysas.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Loot Treasure

This place may not appear on your map as a ? after synching with the viewpoints.

The captain in the daytime might be sitting at a table next to the treasure. If you're really high-leveled, you might be able to sneak behind him and knock him out in one hit, but if not, then he'll still be isolated enough for you to fight him without much trouble aside from himself.

Location: East Moeris Trireme

Location: Sailing in the western waters, occasionally entering the region of Faiyum Oasis.

Objectives: Kill Captain

The trireme is outfitted with soldiers around Lv30, since it's meant to be more of a Faiyum Oasis location instead of one from Faiyum. There's a cover above the ship that will should allow you to drop down on the captain if you manage to remain unseen.

Location: Eremites Hideout

Location: Near the border between Faiyum and the White Desert Oasis, to the south.

Objectives: Find a place to rest

Climb up the ruins and sit on a red cloth to get a free skill point.

Location: Euhemeria Lighthouse Camp

Location: On the coast of the city of Euhemeria.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Loot Treasure

There are about six or so enemies here, including the captain. You should be able to sneak up on at least a few of them before you have to go all-in. Waiting until nighttime might make things easier as well.

Location: Euhemeria Royal Granary

Location: In the city of Euhemeria, to the east.

Objectives: Loot Treasure (x2)

Despite its title as a royal granary, this place is very loosely guarded. You should only come across three or four soldiers here. The two treasures are in the same building.

Location: Golden Horn Island

Location: A large island in the water, clearly visible from the map.

Objectives: Loot Treasure (x3)

Two of the three chests here are actually underwater, which sounds like it'll be easy to complete the place. Hippos in the water can make things more difficult, though.

Location: Hippopotamus Lair

Location: East of the western viewpoint.

Objectives: Kill Animal

Just a standard animal lair. Hippos, as you probably already know, are pretty violent, so you might want to take on one at a time if you can. There's a treasure chest here as well.

Location: Hyena Lair

Location: South of the western viewpoint.

Objectives: Kill Animal

This lair is an abandoned dig site or some similar structure, which allows you to shoot at your prey from a higher ledge to make for easy hunting.

Location: Ketket Cove Hideout

Location: On the eastern coast.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Loot Treasure

There aren't many enemies here, so the captain might be one of two men positioned near oil jars and a fire pit during the daytime. Shooting it should make for an easy way to at least damage him a fair amount.

Location: Leopard Lair

Location: On the eastern coast.

Objectives: Kill Animal

A standard animal lair. Kill the alpha to finish the location.

Location: Okteres Blockade

Location: In the water, north of the city of Euhemeria.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Kill Commander, Loot Treasure (x2)

The blockade consists of three large ships. The two on the sides are smaller, so you should wipe those out first to make raiding the middle ship easier. You should be able to kill just about everyone on the main ship using your bow from one of the smaller ships.

Location: Pannouki Hideout

Location: Northwest of Soknopaiou Nesos.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Loot Treasure

This is a very small place that should have less than five enemies or so inside of it, but there might be an ambush directly in front of it which can be avoided by simply walking around it. If you started the quest Curse of Wadjet, you'll come here to rescue someone anyways, so you may as well start it for the XP if you're not usually doing quests.

Location: Philoteris

Location: Between the cities of Euhemeria and Dionysias.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

This is an incredibly easy treasure to take. There should only be two guards protecting the house this treasure lies in. Just run at one and do a takedown to get access to it.

Location: Pisces Stone Circle

Location: On the eastern coast.

Objectives: Align the Stars

A stone circle, easy to complete.

Location: Requisitioned Dionysias House

Location: At the city of Dionysias.

Objectives: Loot Treasure (x2)

This is just a simple house with about three or four soldiers guarding it. Kill however many it takes to gain access to it and take the loot.

Location: Sarapeion of Karanis

Location: At the eastern viewpoint.

Objectives: Find the nearby hidden Papyrus

This scroll is on the second floor of the temple; climbing a statue inside is the fastest way up to it. The puzzle is called The Leaning Tower.

Location: Sea of Sobek Anchorage

Location: In the water, east of the western viewpoint.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

The ship with the treasure can be wiped out without alerting any of the guards on the other ship, so long as you're silent about it. There are lions on the other ship, though, so if you need pelts then you'll be glad to find them here.

Location: Seized Oikos

Location: In the city of Euhemeria.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

This is an easy location. There should only be one enemy at the front door, who you can run up to and use a takedown on for easy access to the treasure.

Location: Senwosret Temple

Location: West of the city of Karanis.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

This is a standard bandit camp, aside from one thing: You might be ambushed as you approach the front of the temple. You can counter-ambush them by going around and shooting them from behind, or you can just run in and fight them like usual. There should barely be any enemies at the temple itself, however.

Location: Shi-wer Anchorage

Location: In the water, southeast of Soknopaiou Nesos and southwest of Karanis.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

A stationary ship. The crew is fairly light, but you won't be able to use captured animals to your advantage here. Being spotted from the water is dangerous due to the twin crossbows at the front of the ship.

Location: Sunken Temple of Pnepheros

Location: On the coast, east of the city of Soknopaiou Nesos.

Objectives: Loot Treasure (x3)

You should probably start the Feeding Faiyum quest before coming here to kill two birds with one stone. Aside from finding enemies here as a part of that quest, the place is a normal underwater location and can be completed within a minute or less.

Location: Sunken Trireme

Location: In the water, north of the city of Euhemeria.

Objectives: Loot Treasure (x2)

An underwater location. Easy.

Location: Taweret Stone Circle

Location: Northeast of the western viewpoint, on the coast. East of the Hippopotamus Lair.

Objectives: Align the Stars

A stone circle, easy to complete.

Location: Underground Stash

Location: West of the Sarapeion of Karanis.

Objectives: Loot Treasure (x2)

This place is real small, and you won't have to do much to complete it. There should only be about four enemies inside, and you can find the treasures behind a weak straw doorway.

Location: Valley Market

Location: In the city of Euhemeria.

Objectives: Find the nearby hidden Papyrus

This scroll is on a table. The puzzle is called The Blasphemer.

Location: Vault of Splendors

Location: In the city of Soknopaiou Nesos.

Objectives: Loot Treasure (x2)

A single room contains both treasures, and they're not very well-guarded. Should be easy to clear out.

Location: Vulture Lair

Location: On the border between Faiyum and the Black Desert.

Objectives: Kill Animal

The easiest type of animal lairs, since vultures are really stupid. If it doesn't see you when you're shooting at it, it might fly away; just wait a little bit and it'll fly back.

Location: Wadjet's Burrow

Location: In the city of Soknopaiou Nesos.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

This place is, at least during the quest Curse of Wadjet, filled with snakes. I learned that the whole place can be burnt up with a single drop of a torch.

Location: West Moeris Trieme

Location: Sailing in the western waters.

Objectives: Kill Captain

This might not always be the case, but I came here in the daytime and was able to climb up the back of the ship to reach the front from above, where I was able to pounce on the captain in his sleep.

Location: Wrecked Felucca

Location: In the water, on the border between Faiyum and Faiyum Oasis, to the south.

Objectives: Loot Treasure (x2)

An underwater location. Easy as pie.

Faiyum Oasis is a bit big, but it should be easier to complete than Faiyum.

Quest: Bad Faith

Suggested: Lv29

Reward: 3000XP, Legendary Scepter

After finishing Sobek's Tears and The Jaws of Sobek, return to Padiaset so you can start removing the problem behind Krokodilopolis' Temple of Sobek, otherwise known as Sehetep. Since this quest can be started at the end of either of the previously mentioned quests, this one is marked on both this page and the page for Uab Nome.

Padiaset will have survived an attack caused by Sehetep, and will tell you where the man is probably in hiding. Travel to the Temple of Sobek and kill him, then report it to Padiaset to finish the quest.

Quest: Fighting for Faiyum

Suggested: Lv30

Reward: 4500XP

After finishing the quest Shadya's Rest, talk to Hotephres again and head towards the farmer that was being harassed earlier. Help him with his work so he's got time to talk to you. As you return to Hotephres' villa once again, a group of soldiers will arrive. Kill them and travel with Khenut all the way into Haueris Nome so you can speak with some rebels, whose captain you need to rescue.

Now all that's left to do is kill the commander in Fort Boubastos. You'll get some help from the people of Faiyum, which you can use as a distraction as you hone down the commander. You can alternatively wait until the fighting stops and the enemy soldiers have had their health dwindled. Speak with Hotephres outside the fort when the commander is dead to end the quest.

Quest: Lights Among the Dunes

Suggested: Lv40

Reward: 3000XP, Legendary Light Bow

This quest probably won't show up on your map until later in the story, and can be started in either Atef-Pehu Nome, Haueris Nome, or Faiyum Oasis. Some speakers in each of these locations talk of a strange light in the Desheret Desert. If you've been here before, then you'll understand their confusion. If not, then head down to the quest marker and towards the only two locations in the entire Desheret region.

As you approach the area, undead bodies will rise up to fight you before returning to the dust of the earth. To get to the objective, you'll need to realign mirror pillars all throughout the walls of the tomb to open a door. A man named Parh will sit injured past the marker, demanding that you find his camel that holds the artifact that he found within this tomb. Upon finding it, you'll see some pretty strange stuff, after which you'll resolve to putting the artifact back where it belongs to prevent any more of this craziness happening anymore.

Another strange thing happens when you put the object back into place. Lots of enemies will appear out of nowhere, and after collapsing, you'll wake up in a house. A woman here will explain that she found you in the desert and will then send you on your way fit as a fiddle.

Quest: Shadya's Rest

Suggested: Lv30

Reward: 3000XP

After killing the Crocodile, you'll get this quest. Meet up with Hotephres in Philadelphia and follow him to the water to meet with is wife. Bayek will offer to perform a ritual for her, as long as you have a heron feather. Take one to her or, if you already have one, just stand still. When you come back, a Greek soldier will threaten a poor man before Khenut fends him off. Kill him after he leaves, and then speak to Hotephres about an insignia on the soldier's equipment. It turns out that the symbol is from a fort to the east; you'll finish this quest and get another shortly after.

Quest: Sobek's Tears

Suggested: Lv29

Reward: 3000XP

Upon getting close to this quest's start location, you'll see a man give a sacred crocodile an offering. Investigate the sick crocodile's enclosure (go around the wall to get to the last clue) and find a dead soldier out near the water. It seems he's been given orders to poison the crocodile. Find the person behind the plans and kill her to learn that one of the priests has been poisoning it in an attempt to get more offerings. Upon telling this to the man you talked to at the start of the quest, he won't believe you, but that won't matter because the quest will end anyway.

Quest: The Champion

Suggested: Lv28

Reward: 3000XP, Rare Shield

Two men will be fighting at a dock, with one being far superior. Help the old fighter out after the previous winner challenges you to a fight, then follow the older one to another fighter. Beat him up as well, and then meet up with the fighter at the lighthouse at sundown so you can head to the next fight for your training. During this third fight, however, the man you're up against will call for backup. After Hilarus gets carried away with a woman, the quest will end. The best thing you could take away from this quest is that youth is a state of mind.

Quest: The Jaws of Sobek

Suggested: Lv29

Reward: 3750XP

Upon finding an illegal tannery of sacred crocodiles, investigate the area to figure out what's going on. Head to the docks to the north and speak to the man taken prisoner by some soldiers. He'll tell you about the ship owned by the men doing this. Take to the water and find the manifest aboard the ship to figure out where these crocodiles are going, which is a harbor in Uab Nome. Just read the papers on the captain's desk and the quest will finish.

Quest: The Lure of Glory

Suggested: Lv35

Reward: 2500XP

After killing The Crocodile, the arena owner of Krokodilopolis will send you in the direction of Cyrene's arena for a tougher challenge. All you have to do is talk to the owner to finish the quest.

Quest: The Man Beast

Suggested: Lv28

Reward: 3000XP

A man on the island here claims that an old man is killing people in this village. Investigate the area and find a nearby cave to the east, where you'll find a crocodile and a caged man. He will tell you that a man named The Embalmer has been feeding live people to crocodiles for fun. Simply kill The Embalmer to finish the quest.

Location: Confiscated Stathmos

Location: Southeast of Krokodilopolis.

Objectives: Loot Treasure (x2)

This place is a loosely guarded house. There aren't many enemies here, and it's real easy to sneak up behind all of them.

Location: Crocodile Lair

Location: Directly south of the northern viewpoint.

Objectives: Kill Animal

The typical crocodile lair. Just kill the alpha and you'll be ready to leave.

Location: Docked Naukleros Ship

Location: West of the city of Krokodilopolis.

Objectives: Loot Treasure (x2)

A loosely guarded ship. Both treasures are on the ship, of course.

Location: East Moeris Trireme

Location: Sailing in the eastern waters, occasionally entering the region of Faiyum.

Objectives: Kill Captain

The trireme is outfitted with soldiers around Lv30, since it's meant to be more of a Faiyum Oasis location instead of one from Faiyum. There's a cover above the ship that will should allow you to drop down on the captain if you manage to remain unseen.

Location: Faiyum Nomarch Villa

Location: In the city of Krokodilopolis.

Objectives: Loot Treasure (x2)

These two treasures are in the courtyard of the villa. You'll have to climb up the walls to get down there.

Location: Gladiator Arena

Location: It's its own fast travel point.

Objectives: ---

After killing The Crocodile, you'll finally be able to partake in arena fights by yourself here for various rewards. You will have to replay all four events in The Brothers category and finish the four events in The Slaver category for the first time. You should try to be as high a level as possible to make things easier for you. There's an achievement related to this specific arena for finishing all eight events, as well as finishing off one of the arena bosses with an overpower attack. You can increase your overpower attack's potential with specific skills.

• Fatality!

  Finish an arena boss with an Overpower Attack.

  
  

• For Those About to Die…

  Complete all arena events in the Krokodilopolis Arena.

  
  

Location: Hephaistias Wharf

Location: At the northern tip of the region, north of Philadelphia.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

Not many men are watching over the ship that the treasure is being stored on. It should be a quick completion.

Location: House of Iwn

Location: Directly south of the northern viewpoint.

Objectives: Find the nearby hidden Papyrus

Drop down into the house and you'll find the Just Laws puzzle on the table.

Location: Immersed Reed Pakton

Location: Directly south of the northern viewpoint, in the water.

Objectives: Loot Treasure (x2)

An underwater location, easy to complete.

Location: Kerkesoucha Granary

Location: In the middle of the large island making up most of the region.

Objectives: Kill Captain (x2), Kill Commander, Loot Treasure (x4)

As long as you scan everyone you can, make a proper plan, and attack at night, you shouldn't have too much of an issue with completing this fortress.

Location: Neorion Naval Arsenal

Location: Southwest of the city of Krokodilopolis.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Kill Commander, Loot Treasure (x2)

There are lots of different buildings and structures here to hide behind, as well as several patches of grass and lots of water. It goes without saying that you should have a pretty fair chance at clearing this place out if you're underleveled.

Location: Philadelphia Royal Granary

Location: Next to the northern viewpoint.

Objectives: Loot Treasure (x2)

Both treasures here should be at the same building, one on the roof and one inside.

Location: Piamouei Colossi

Location: At the southern tip of the large island north of Krokodilopolis.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

A treasure on the land lies next to a snake. Either kill the snake or slowly walk up to the treasure to get it.

Location: Psenhyris Trireme Wharf

Location: At the northern tip of the region, to the west.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Loot Treasure

If you wait until nighttime, it should be really easy to complete this location since you can slide underneath tents to get to the captain and his treasure.

Location: Rubbayat Necropolis

Location: South of the city of Philadelphia.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

Fight off the guards protecting a cave here and make your way to the treasure. It's as simple as that.

Location: Schena Wab

Location: In the city of Krokodilopolis.

Objectives: Loot Treasure (x2)

This is a very loosely guarded villa. There should only be one enemy you really have to deal with here.

Location: Sesen Grotto

Location: West of Philadelphia.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

The treasure is underwater. There's not much else to this place as far as I can tell.

Location: South Moeris Trireme

Location: Sailing around the southern end of the region.

Objectives: Kill Captain

An easy ship to take over. If you're having a hard time, see if you can get smoke bombs or fire to work in your favor. Poison darts work very well too.

Location: Temple of Sobek

Location: In the city of Krokodilopolis.

Objectives: Find the nearby hidden Papyrus

Climb a pillar in the temple all the way up to this scroll, or drop through a large rectangular hole in the roof, to find this puzzle. It's called Sobek's Rage.

Giza is a fairly sized region, being nearly the same size as Kanopos Nome, but there's far less to do here than there is there. Climbing the viewpoint will be a major pain, because if you mess up, you'll be sliding a long way down.

Quest: Precious Bonds

Suggested: Lv18

Reward: 2000XP

Find a man named Oba in the Khufu Temple Hideout and carry him to safety. Talk to him once he's back on his feet, and he'll tell you about a ring he's found. A fellow thief named Rashidi has been taken prisoner by the Sphinx, and he just so happens to have the ring. You'll be tasked with getting Rashidi out of the camp to the south.

When you rescue Rashidi, he'll tell you another man named Turo has taken it for himself. Travel to the west of the viewpoint to find him dead in a cave. It seems a hyena has eaten the ring along with his hand. Hunt down the hyena, and you'll finally be able to get the ring back to the thieves. You can give it to any of them you choose; it won't matter in the end.

Location: Adorer of Thoth Tomb

Location: West of Heron Mastaba.

Objectives: Find the Ancient Tablet

There are a few enemies here, but that's not as important as the weight puzzle inside the cave. The place starts off with one weight on top of the platform that you need to raise up; take it and walk up the stairs to where the other platform (on the left) will have risen to, then put this weight on there. This will lift initial platform up, but you'll want to have three weights total on the other platform so you can jump to it from the top of the stairs without having it sink to the ground again. Just past this is a treasure room, where you'll find two pieces of Silica (one is on a ledge), the tablet, and other things to loot. At least two more pieces of Silica are placed around the area as well.

Location: Camp Kataskinono

Location: At the southwestern corner of the region.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Loot Treasure

This place is small and has enemies scouring just about every inch of the camp, but there are bushes nearby that you can use to sneak up on enemies.

Location: Depleted Quarry Hideout

Location: In the southeastern corner of the region.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Kill Commander, Loot Treasure (x2)

This hideout is much larger than most others in the region and enemies seem to be just about everywhere, so you'll have to take a lot of thought into your moves if you want to remain stealthy. One of the treasures is hidden deep inside the mines here.

Location: Eastern Cemetery Mastaba

Location: East of the viewpoint pyramid.

Objectives: Find the nearby hidden Papyrus

This papyrus is easy to get to; one of the structures here has a hole in the roof, and all you've gotta do is fall through to get to the paper. This one is called Stone Fungus.

Location: Eesfet Oon-m'Aa Poo

Location: Underneath the Great Sphinx.

Objectives: Activate the Ancient Mechanism

After finishing the quest Bayek's Promise, interact with the large map underneath the Great Sphinx to open up a secret passageway. Be aware that you'll need 50 Silica to finish the location, so don't bother coming here until you have that much.

Location: Hemon Mastaba

Location: West of the viewpoint.

Objectives: Loot Treasure (x2)

There are only about three or four enemies camping out here, so you shouldn't find this place too difficult. There's a small hole in the wall that you can slide under to reach the treasures here.

Location: Hyena Lair

Location: South of the Adorer of Thoth Tomb, and southwest of the viewpoint.

Objectives: Kill Animal

The typical animal lair. There are a lot of hyenas here, so you might want to just take them all out from afar.

Location: Khentkawes Hideout

Location: Southeast of the large pyramid in the middle of the region.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Kill Commander, Loot Treasure

There are maybe ten or so enemies at this hideout. None of them are hard to sneak up on, especially since there are several patches of grass and many chunks of ruins to hide around.

Location: Khufu Temple Hideout

Location: East of the viewpoint pyramid.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Loot Treasure

Enemy density here is fairly light given the hideout's size. Patches of grass make things even easier for you.

Location: Lost Village

Location: To the south of the body of water on the eastern side of the region.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

A small village. There should be only about five or so enemies here, all of which you can easily sneak behind for an easy incapacitation.

Location: Mausoleion of Crow

Location: In the body of water on the eastern side of the region.

Objectives: Loot Treasure (x2)

Another easy underwater location. This should be pretty straight-forward by the time you get here.

Location: Per-Wsir Hideout

Location: At the southern border of the region.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Loot Treasure

A small camp having about six or seven enemies in it. This should be an easy place to complete.

Location: Sphinx Passageway

Location: West of the city of Great Sphinx. You need to use a hidden entrance at the butt of the sphinx to get inside.

Objectives: Loot Treasure (x3)

After you get to a fairly sized room with a sarcophagus in the middle of it, keep going and jump across the gap to reach the first two chests. Then drop down the gap and make your way around several dark areas (light unlit torches to make your way around) to get to a rather large temple with a map in the middle of it. The treasure is at the back end of this temple in a small room.

Location: Tomb of Menkaure

Location: The small pyramid to the southwest.

Objectives: Find the Ancient Tablet

This tomb is a bit tricky. Climb into the entrance and lurk around the small area you can move around in, then look above one of the hallways near an unlit light source for a square hole that you can crawl through, which takes you straight to the tablet.

Location: Tomb of Khafre

Location: The large pyramid in the middle of the region.

Objectives: Find the Ancient Tablet

There are quite a few pieces of Silica in here, which is nice considering you need so many of them. The "puzzle" in this tomb is merely a lever, which is resolved by pushing a heavy object underneath it so you can run across.

Location: Tomb of Khufu

Location: In the pyramid that the viewpoint is located at.

Objectives: Find the Ancient Tablet

The entrance to this tomb is near the base of the northern side of the viewpoint pyramid. It's not hard to get through, but make sure you pick up any Silica in here that you find.

This region has nothing of note but for one ship location, which is nice because you won't have to lose a lot of time sailing.

Location: Ahment Anchorage

Location: Northeast of Kanopos Nome's highest viewpoint.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

Despite the region's high level, the soldiers aboard this ship are only around Lv11, so you can complete it whenever you get around that level if you feel like it.

There are no locations or quests here, but the occasional event quest will appear where you have to face off against a god for a special item. These are usually high level quests, which fits the level range for this region.

There are four viewpoints in the Green Mountains. They seem to be well-placed, as opposed to some of the other viewpoints in Egypt.

Quest: Carpe Diem

Suggested: Lv35

Reward: 2250XP

A man named Ibi has moved to the Green Mountains from Siwa, who tells him about a Siwan who was captured while fighting the Romans. Rescue her and she'll tell you about a fierce Roman who tortures Egyptians, found in the camp to the north. Kill him to finish the quest.

Quest: Halo of the Huntress

Suggested: Lv34

Reward: 2250XP

Speak with the oracle of the shrine underneath the Green Mountains' highest viewpoint to start this quest. It seems Apollo wants you to get the Halo of the Huntress from a lake by another viewpoint. Use the hidden passageway in the Collis Roman Hunting Camp to get to the halo, finishing this quick quest.

Quest: Here Comes a New Challenger

Suggested: Lv36

Reward: 3000XP, Mystery Item

This quest might not show up until later in the story. An upset man here is talking down upon his employee who was meant to keep watch over his two best gladiators. The bandits that took them are hiding in the hills to the north. Only one will be here, though; talk to him to learn that the other gladiator has faked his abduction. In place of a gladiator is a small girl, all by herself. Speak to her and figure out where Kosey is, then confront him. After you've spoken with him, talk with his ex-manager at the arena in Cyrene to tell him off.

The manager will come up with a deal; if Bayek wins five rounds of the horde mode in the arena, he'll pay him and officially free Kosey. Once you've made it through five rounds, just die to end the run and leave the arena so you can speak to him again. Outside the arena, though, is the manager's servant, who will tell you that he's gone to find Kosey. Kill the manager and his soldiers to ensure Kosey's safety, then take your reward.

Quest: One Bad Apple

Suggested: Lv35

Reward: 3000XP, Legendary Spear

Very late into the game's story, you'll get this quest after rescuing an old woman from a farm. Talk with Praxilla at the healer's place in Balagrae to learn about a strange rumor that the temple won't allow people to see the sick resting inside. Talk with a man named Crios, who will be too unwell to answer you; best to take him to Praxilla. His ramblings mention a Shrine of Whispers, which is coincidentally where Praxilla went to go speak with the temple's main priestess. If you couldn't tell, the priestess is behind all of this craziness. Assassinate her and save Praxilla and the other prisoners, then talk with her outside the shrine to end the quest.

Quest: Playing with Fire

Suggested: Lv33

Reward: 2250XP

Very late into the game's story, you'll get this quest after rescuing an old woman from a farm. Her son Kade was taken away to work on a strong weapon. Fortunately, he's not deep into the fortress, but outside it instead. Free him and his fellow prisoners, then talk to him once you're both far enough from the prison area to learn that he was taken to help with a war weapon developed by Vitruvius.

If you finished his other quest, Vitruvius will tell you that that weapon was a scrapped idea of his. Bayek will take the general using this plan as the main threat, and will insist on killing him as well as bring the weapon plans to Vitruvius so he can destroy them. If you have them, you can kill the general very easily by using a berserk poison on him; the poison will eventually kill him if you wait long enough. Once you take the plans, destroy the oil reserves at the citadel and return the plans to Vitruvius to finish the quest.

Quest: Shadows of Apollo

Suggested: Lv38

Reward: 3000XP

In the Balagrae Roman Barracks, you can find a man named Gupta held in a cell. Free him and run far from the barracks, then talk to him to learn that he's one of Apollodorus' men. One of the soldiers has a list of spies that belongs to Apollodorus, so you'll tell Gupta that you'll retrieve the list to save them from torture and other harm. The list is in Marmarica to the northeast.

When you get to the Hydrax Roman Camp, the soldier with the list will likely set off north to the Livius Roman Tower. He should remain there for quite some time, though, so that's okay. You may as well clear the Hydrax camp and the other locations leading up to the Livius Roman Tower as you meet him there. After taking the list, you'll learn that another spy has been left alive.

Quest: Taking Liberty

Suggested: Lv33

Reward: 2250XP

In the Necropolis Hideout, Bayek will find a letter from a man to his wife. Find him dead in the quarry to the south and take his bracelet to his wife to let her know what happened.

Quest: The Good Roman

Suggested: Lv33

Reward: 3750XP

Vitruvius, the man in charge of construction on the aqueduct, is in need of his tool called the dioptra. After you talk to the last guy who had it, you'll discover that it's been shattered into three pieces. Use Senu to find these pieces and take them all back to Vitruvius to finish the quest.

Quest: Unseeing Eyes

Suggested: Lv35

Reward: 3000XP

A man's eyes have been taken out by what he believes was a manticore, and he lies on the road in wait of assistance. Take him to the clinic in Balagrae and then speak to the healer. He needs three doses of snake venom to treat the man, so head to the next location and get ready to kill some snakes. If you don't want to use ammo, you can toss torches at the snakes to burn them or just bonk them until they die.

The last ingredient the healer needs is a special weed in the barracks. Waiting til nighttime will allow you to get to the plant without having to engage in combat. When you bring this back to the healer, he will thank you for your help and send you on your way.

Location: Akabis Roman Tower

LocationL Southwest of the city of Balagrae.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Loot Treasure

If you sneak around the eastern side of this fort in the daytime, you should be able to knock out a few guys and climb up to the treasure before dealing with the captain. This will also put you in the perfect position to booby trap the brazier, which the captain can light, making killing him that much easier.

Location: Asklepieion

Location: To the east of Balagrae.

Objectives: Find the nearby hidden Papyrus

The scroll is on a table fairly deep into the area, guarded by a relatively high-level enemy. I say relatively because he was a skull for me when I came here first, so it's safe to say that you should not be here at Lv29. This puzzle is called Forsaken City.

Location: Aqueductus Kyrenaike

Location: At the third highest viewpoint of the region.

Objectives: Loot Treasure (x3)

One of the treasures here is right near the top of the viewpoint, which is easy to get to. Another is in a tent on the ground, and the last is guarded by two enemies. This shouldn't be too tough of a location to complete.

Location: Auritina Roman Tower

Location: Southwest of the viewpoint next to Balagrae.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Loot Treasure

Similar to the Akabis Roman Tower, you can climb straight to the top and make your way downwards to make this place a lot easier than it normally would be. The treasure is at the top near the brazier, and the two enemies next to the brazier shouldn't move, so it'll be easy to sneak up on them.

Location: Balagrae Roman Barracks

Location: North of the city of Balagrae.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Loot Treasure

The barracks' structure makes it easy to sneak up on the enemies walking around, but for the treasure you'll want to take the stairs leading underground, which you can find in the main building. By the treasure is a man named Gupta, who is related to the Shadows of Apollo Quest.

Location: Bandit Hideout

Location: South of the city of Balagrae.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Loot Treasure

There's a high ledge overlooking the entire hideout that makes for a fantastic sniping spot. Just make sure you take care of the enemy up there and you'll pretty much have this place in the bag.

Location: Collis Roman Hunting Camp

Location: Next to the second highest viewpoint.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Loot Treasure

This camp has way more enemies in it than it should have. Try to use the caged lions here to your advantage.

Location: Desperate Gully Hideout

Location: Southeast of the second highest viewpoint.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Loot Treasure

Wait until nighttime so that some of the enemies go to sleep, making things easier for you. If you're lucky, the captain will sleep fairly close to where the treasure is.

Location: Forsaken Sanctuary

Location: Northeast of the second highest viewpoint of the region.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

There shouldn't be anything here, save for the treasure, but watch out for snakes sitting right next to it. To kill snakes easily, you can throw torches at them until they catch fire.

Location: Kastor High Hideout

Location: Southeast of the second highest viewpoint and Desperate Gully Hideout.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Loot Treasure

There aren't many enemies here, but there are a handful of caged lions. Break them out if you want to distract the enemies, but if not, waiting til nighttime works too. Some of the enemies should be asleep in a cave.

Location: Kyrenaika Roman Citadel

Location: East of the third highest viewpoint.

Objectives: Kill Captain (x2), Kill Commander, Loot Treasure (x4)

With such a massive fortress as this one, you need to try and scan the area as much as possible before entering. Try to wipe out entire portions of the citadel before moving on to the next.

Location: Lake of the Clouds Ruins

Location: North of the second highest viewpoint.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

There are lots of lions sitting around here. If you don't want to fight them, ride a horse right next to the treasure, loot it, and then ride away.

Location: Leopard Lair

Location: Southwest of the second highest viewpoint.

Objectives: Kill Animal

Since there are so many leopards here, you might want to try killing the beta leopards before taking on the alpha. Sleep darts work pretty well too.

Location: Lumber Depots

Location: North of the region's central lake.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

In daytime, there are two guards protecting this treasure by standing to the left and right of it. The problem they're overlooking is that nobody is actually looking directly at the chest. I managed to loot it by hopping over the wood next to the treasure and simply picking it up from there, then leaving before anyone suspected anything.

Location: Necropolis Hideout

Location: At the western end of the aqueduct.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Kill Commander, Loot Treasure (x2)

This is a very large cave system and courtyard filled with bandits. It'd be wise to be as stealthy as possible while attacking the enemies, and it might be a good idea to wait until nighttime so you can sneak up on sleeping foes. One of the treasures is in a room hidden by a vase.

Location: Oracle of Apollo

Location: By the highest viewpoint of the region.

Objectives: Find the nearby hidden Papyrus

The scroll is inside the temple. It should be pretty easy to find.

Location: Poimen Relay

Location: Northwest of the city of Balagrae.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

There are only two enemies by this treasure. They shouldn't pose any problems.

Location: Poludeukes Hideout

Location: East of the second highest viewpoint.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Loot Treasure

A small hideout. You'd have a good advantage over the enemies here if you decide to shoot at them from above.

Location: Prasinos Outpost

Location: Southeast of the highest viewpoint.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Kill Commander, Loot Treasure (x2)

A fairly large outpost. I had an unusually easy time getting the objectives done, so you should too.

Location: Refugee Haven

Location: West of the Auritina Roman Tower.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

This place should be easy to complete. I was able to do a takedown on a soldier right next to the treasure, which naturally made getting to it a lot faster.

Location: Roman Camp of Surus

Location: Southwest of the viewpoint in the middle of the region.

Objectives: Kill Elephant

This is a real tough fight. Surus has a bowman positioned atop him, who will always fire arrows at you. He drops arrows occasionally, which is how you'll be restocking your bow. The fight is, I assume, meant to be fought by shooting at Surus's unarmored body parts until he eventually dies. When the elephant is at three squares of health, fire bombs will rain from above, agitating him even further and making him more chaotic. I cannot recommend a light bow enough for this part of the fight, since light arrows should do just barely less damage than a hunter bow would.

Location: Roman Quarry Camp

Location: Next to the Roman Camp of Surus.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Loot Treasure

This camp is really large, and is filled with enemies on several levels. If you want to remain in stealth, you should consider going around the back side and working your way down towards the bottom.

Location: Roman Watchtower

Location: At the top of a mountain directly south of the viewpoint in the middle of the region.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Loot Treasure

You should be able to sneak up on the captain here fairly easily. If not, you can try waiting until nighttime to check if things are more in your favor.

Location: Shrine to Hygieia

Location: North of the Balagrae Roman Barracks

Objectives: Loot Treasure

The treasure here is at the base of the shrine, but watch out for the many snakes protecting it.

Location: Theras Ampelos

Location: West of the city of Balagrae.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

The treasure here is in a cave, and is guarded by a few enemies. You probably won't be able to get to it if you're underleveled.

Location: Vulture Lair

Location: South of the second highest viewpoint.

Objectives: Kill Animal

A standard animal lair. With vultures being the easiest thing to hunt aside from snakes, this lair shouldn't be much of a challenge.

This region is a bit small in regards to locations, so you shouldn't be spending too much time in here. The lack of a northern viewpoint does make travel a bit challenging sometimes, though.

Quest: Lights Among the Dunes

Suggested: Lv40

Reward: 3000XP, Legendary Light Bow

This quest probably won't show up on your map until later in the story, and can be started in either Atef-Pehu Nome, Haueris Nome, or Faiyum Oasis. Some speakers in each of these locations talk of a strange light in the Desheret Desert. If you've been here before, then you'll understand their confusion. If not, then head down to the quest marker and towards the only two locations in the entire Desheret region.

As you approach the area, undead bodies will rise up to fight you before returning to the dust of the earth. To get to the objective, you'll need to realign mirror pillars all throughout the walls of the tomb to open a door. A man named Parh will sit injured past the marker, demanding that you find his camel that holds the artifact that he found within this tomb. Upon finding it, you'll see some pretty strange stuff, after which you'll resolve to putting the artifact back where it belongs to prevent any more of this craziness happening anymore.

Another strange thing happens when you put the object back into place. Lots of enemies will appear out of nowhere, and after collapsing, you'll wake up in a house. A woman here will explain that she found you in the desert and will then send you on your way fit as a fiddle.

Location: Cleon's Dam

Location: Near the border between Haueris Nome and Atef-Pehu Nome.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Loot Treasure

You should definitely come here at night, when the captain has a good chance of being asleep in the middle of the dam. The treasure is in the middle as well, just in a different structure.

Location: Eedoo Sekedoo Aat

Location: At the end of the Tomb of Smenkhkare.

Objectives: Activate the Ancient Mechanism

There's not much to this place. Just do a leap of faith and you'll be in the main room of the location, which is filled with Silica pieces. Take as many as you can and use five to activate the pillar at the end of the room.

Location: Etesias' Olive Grove

Location: To the southwest of the eastern viewpoint.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

The treasure is in the enemy encampment watching over the grove. You might not be able to get to it undetected, but there aren't a lot of enemies here to fight anyway.

Location: Fort Boubastos

Location: South of Cleon's Dam.

Objectives: Kill Captain (x2), Kill Commander, Loot Treasure (x4)

This place is huge, and there are lots of enemies inside. I personally didn't have much issue with sneaking up on most soldiers here, so hopefully things go just as well when you get here.

Location: Iw Forgotten Cache

Location: In the middle of a tiny, tiny island at the southern border of the region.

Objectives: Loot Treasure (x2)

This island is actually an underwater location. I'm not sure if it technically is (and therefore counting for the achievement), but it acts similar to one in that the treasures here are both underwater.

Location: Kleithra Dam

Location: On the west coast, southwest of the eastern viewpoint.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

A simple place to finish. The treasure is in a tent, and there are only about three enemies here. Waiting until nighttime ensures that you'll only have to put up with at most two of them.

Location: Limestone Quarry

Location: South of Fort Boubastos.

Objectives: Kill Captain (x2), Kill Commander, Loot Treasure (x4)

The quarry is a very large area, filled with enemies and things to do. Attacking at nighttime should make things far easier for you.

Location: Lion Lair

Location: Next to the eastern viewpoint.

Objectives: Kill Animal

A simple animal lair. The lions are grouped together inside, so fire bombs would work nicely as an opening attack.

Location: Metallon Docks

Location: On the coast, directly north of the eastern viewpoint.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

One of the buildings at the docks has a second floor, where about three enemies or so will be protecting this treasure. You can sneak by all of them very easily.

Location: Temple Archives

Location: Part of the Temple of Thoth.

Objectives: Loot Treasure (x2)

Both treasures are very loosely guarded by only a handful of enemies. They should be easier to take down at night since one of them should be asleep.

Location: Temple of Thoth

Location: West of the city of Hermopolis, which is near the southern tip of the region.

Objectives: Find the nearby hidden Papyrus

The papyrus is all the way in the back, past the Temple Archives location. The puzzle is called Toth's Secret.

Location: Tomb of Amenemhat III

Location: Near the western viewpoint.

Objectives: Find the Ancient Tablet

This tomb is real simple. Just burn out two stick barricades on the ground and drop down to a destructible seal in the wall, then destroy them to make a wall fall down. This will take you to a large room with a few crocodiles in it around a pool of water. Diving into the water will take you to the tablet and the end of the tomb.

Location: Tomb of Smenkhkare

Location: At the southern base of the mountain to the south.

Objectives: Find the Ancient Tablet

At the start of this tomb, you'll be going for a swim until you reach the tomb's puzzle room. This seems complicated, but is actually pretty simple once you understand how it works. Rocks on two of the platforms are too heavy to pick up, so the way to move ahead is instead to weigh down the counter-platform until the rock's platform is at its peak, then run up to the rock platform and jump ahead to the next part of the room. You should only have to do this twice to get to the tablet. The next location, Eeyoo Sekedoo Aat, is found through a crack in the wall.

Heb Sed's aesthetic is sand, which shouldn't be unfamiliar to you at this point. This place is frequented with sandstorms, so you should use Senu as soon as you get to a new location.

Quest: Follower or Leader

Suggested: Lv51

Reward: 7000XP, Legendary Shield

A warrior's son, Setna, doesn't want to follow in his father's footsteps. Perform the trials his father is pinning on him yourself. You can start off by collecting golden scorpion blood nearby. You should consider sniping at the scorpions from the rocks to the south, since this location's treasure is up there as well. The next trial is to take an ankh from the Caverns of the Valiant. The last trial is to get a postiche from a caravan moving around. Take all three items to Setna to finish the quest.

Location: Battlefield of Kadesh

Location: Next to the viewpoint.

Objectives: Loot Treasure (x3)

Just scour the battlefield for treasures. One of them is in a hyena-ridden tent to the west.

Location: Caverns of the Valiant

Location: To the far east.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Kill Commander, Loot Treasure (x2)

A large cavern that you visit for the quest Follower or Leader. You can shoot everyone from up top to avoid getting into any real fights.

Location: Gate of Heb Sed

Location: At the entrance.

Objectives: Loot Treasure (x3)

This location is very large, but there aren't any enemies here that will attack you unless you attack them. Completing this place is just time-consuming.

Location: Maryannu Camp

Location: Southeast of the viewpoint.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Kill Commander, Loot Treasure (x2)

You'll be coming here for the main story. The camp is big, but there's lots of grass for you to hide in. The treasures aren't in any conspicuous places.

Location: Nomad's Rest

Location: North of the entrance.

Objectives: Read the Stelae

There are no enemies here. Just climb up the framework and the statue to get to the stelae.

Location: Orion's Crater

Location: East of the viewpoint.

Objectives: Read the Stelae

The stelae is above ground. You don't need to go in the crater at all.

Location: Pavilion of Judgement

Location: South of the viewpoint.

Objectives: Read the Stelae

Kill off the Anubis priests and read the stelae in the cave, simple as that.

Location: Royal Guards Rest

Location: To the west.

Objectives: Read the Stelae

You'll be coming here for the quest Follower or Leader. The stelae is in the back of the cave, so you'll likely have to kill the guards to get to it.

Location: Scorpion Lair

Location: Near the viewpoint.

Objectives: Kill Animal

You'll be coming here for the main story. You should know how to fight scorpions by now; do whatever strategy you find best to kill them.

Location: Serqet's Chamber

Location: To the northwest.

Objectives: Kill Animal

This is one of the locations you need to complete for the Sting in the Tale achievement. You can kill all the scorpions here by shooting at them from the rocks outside the cave, which is highly recommended since these things are so deadly at such a high level.

Location: Siege of Dapur

Location: Northeast of the viewpoint.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Kill Commander, Loot Treasure (x2)

You'll be coming here for the main story. The entire area is somewhat lenient when it comes to enemy density, which is great news for you. It might be a good idea to attack the higher-ups first since they're likely to carry staffs that can revive their allies.

Location: Valley of the Scorpions

Location: To the far south.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

Start the nearby quest first before coming here to save yourself some time. The treasure is at the giant stone head to the south.

Herakleion Nome is a set of small islands to the northeast, but despite the small amount of land to travel on, there are tons of locations here to explore.

Quest: Incoming Threat

Suggested: Lv35

Reward: 3000XP, Mystery Item

This is a new quest introduced with an update, and you might find it in Sapi-Res Nome for some reason. It seems that Siwa might be suspect to an attack once more, and your first step is to travel to the Saragina Camp in the region above Siwa, Libue.

Once you're there, you need to kill the highly-leveled commander here and loot him for his orders, as well as kill the invaders in the camp. When all men in the camp are dead, you'll now be after three bribe carts and the man named Jibade, who is your new assassination target. When destroying the carts, you only need to break the objects on top of it. Fire bombs work very well for this and are great if you're at a low level and still want to progress past these carts. Jibade is surrounded by accompanying enemies, which are inside a massive citadel. Jibade himself barely has as much health as his allies, so if you want to get things done you should focus only on him.

With the bribes destroyed and Jibade dead, head to Otis's house in Alexandria. Clear his house and inspect his body, then his house for clues. A jar in his house has a note in it; shoot it open and read it to finish the quest.

Quest: Loose Cargo

Suggested: Lv31

Reward: 2500XP

After reaching the location of Zoiontegoi Shipwreck, you'll hear a soldier cry for help and this quest will start. Kill the lions and free the soldier, ending this very quick quest.

Quest: Predator to Prey

Suggested: Lv31

Reward: 3000XP, Rare Hunter Bow

After you finish the Reunion quest, Tahira will ask you to help her attack the Romans so they stop hunting down the animals in the area. You'll first have to kill a group of soldiers hunting flamingos, and after them you'll take on the men hunting crocodiles at the nearby viewpoint. The third and final group will be hunting hippos. When they too have fallen, speak with Tahira before parting ways once again.

Quest: Recon Work

Suggested: Lv31

Reward: 2000XP

Apollodorus sent one of his men to a camp, but he still hasn't come back. Travel to the northeast to get to the camp, free some tied up prisoners, and speak with Iuseneb to finish the quest.

Quest: Reunion

Suggested: Lv31

Reward: 2500XP

Upon getting close to this quest, Senu will land by one of Bayek's old friends, Tahira. Follow her to the top of the viewpoint and watch a crocodile eat a flamingo, then meet her by a camp west of the city of Natho. Rescue the massive crocodile from the Cancer Roman Compound and escort it to the shrine to end this strange quest.

Location: Camp Nisi

Location: Near the viewpoint to the northwest.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Loot Treasure

Thanks to the abundance of grass here, it's very easy to sneak up on everyone in the camp. The treasure is in a tent.

Location: Carcer Roman Compound

Location: North of the city of Natho, which is east of the lowest viewpoint.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Loot Treasure

The treasure is in the middle of the compound. As for the enemies, you should definitely wait until nighttime for this, because four of them (including the captain) should be sleeping in a connecting building.

Location: Chata Pond

Location: West of the city of Herakleion.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

There should be a few enemies here, but they should be easy to sneak up on. The treasure is in the pond among a few other lootable items.

Location: Crocodile Lair

Location: West of the city of Yw Huts, which is southwest of the northeastern viewpoint.

Objectives: Kill Animal

The usual animal lair. You might get lucky and the alpha crocodile might have been killed by other enemies when you get here.

Location: Crocodile Lair

Location: At the southwestern edge of the region.

Objectives: Kill Animal

This alpha crocodile should be around Lv33, making him a hard opponent for those who are underleveled. It might be a good idea to tackle this place once you're around Lv32 or so.

Location: Crocodile Lair

Location: At the southeastern edge of the region.

Objectives: Kill Animal

The usual animal lair. There are quite a few crocodiles here, but it shouldn't take you too long to kill them all.

Location: Demesne of Sekhem

Location: East of the city of Herakleion.

Objectives: Find a place to rest

Simply sit down by the little camp here and you'll get a free skill point.

Location: Desher Bluff

Location: Southeast of the viewpoint to the southwest, which is also southwest of the city of Natho.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

There's not much to this place. The treasure will be by the coast, next to the man who used to live here.

Location: Dismal Tree

Location: West of the city of Yw Huts.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

There's nothing here except for the tree, and the treasure is right next to it.

Location: Elephas Remains

Location: On the western border, in the water.

Objectives: Loot Treasure (x2)

An underwater location. This one is a bit different because there are a few crocodiles swimming over the cave that the treasures are held inside of.

Location: Galenos' House

Location: Near the city of Natho, which is east of the lowest viewpoint.

Objectives: Find the nearby hidden Papyrus

This scroll is on a table in the second floor, and is for the puzzle called Royal Flora.

Location: Hippopotamus Lair

Location: Northeast of the viewpoint in the southwest.

Objectives: Kill Animal

The king hippo here is around Lv33, so you'd best be ready for a fight. Don't forget that there are other hippos here too.

Location: Home of Nehi

Location: West of the city of Herakleion.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

This is just a small house with a treasure up a set of stairs. There are some enemies here, however, so be on your toes.

Location: Huntress Cave

Location: South of the viewpoint to the southwest.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

This is just a small cave. There shouldn't be anything here to stop you from getting the treasure, except for the occasional drachma caravan.

Location: Irsu's Huts

Location: In the northwest corner of the region.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

There are a few enemies here, but that's about all there is to this place. The treasure will be in a hut that you need to climb up to.

Location: Lah Hideout

Location: In the northwest corner of the region.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Loot Treasure

This place is a piece of cake. There are loads of oil jars here, and accompanying them are lots of grass patches. There are also two caged lions here as well, so you may as well fight them if you're looking for pelts.

Location: Liontari Debacle

Location: In the water directly north of the city of Herakleion.

Objectives: Loot Treasure (x2)

A simple underwater location.

Location: Meketre's Cache

Location: East of the city of Yw Huts, which is south of the northeastern viewpoint.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

Location: Mithidrates Roman Camp

Location: Northeast of the northeastern viewpoint.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Loot Treasure

The treasure here is on the ship in the port. The captain, however, will most likely be surrounded by other enemies in the daytime. You might want to consider waiting until nighttime and trying your luck then.

Location: Neith Cradle Hideout

Location: Directly east of the city of Natho.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Loot Treasure

The ruinous design of this hideout makes it very easy to sneak up on just about everyone. An underwater cave system holds the treasure and other lootable objects.

Location: Outskirts of Herakleion

Location: South of the city of Herakleion's viewpoint.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

The treasure here is by a scaffold, but there's a crocodile watching over it.

Location: Roman Camp of Jumbe

Location: In the northeast corner of the region.

Objectives: Kill Elephant

This elephant has a rider on it that won't really do anything until about halfway through the fight. Arrow bags will occasionally drop around the arena that you can use to restock, and about halfway through the fight the rider will toss smoke bombs to disorient you. I highly recommend using a light bow for this fight.

Location: Sap-Meh Anchorage

Location: In the water, northeast of the city of Herakleion.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

There should only be one enemy near the treasure here, which is at the back of the ship. Two lions and two soldiers should be at the front.

Location: Temple of Khonsou

Location: North of the city of Herakleion.

Objectives: Find the nearby hidden Papyrus

This scroll, titled Twin Despair, is on a table only a few feet into the temple.

Location: Thenessos Hideout

Location: Northwest of the northeastern viewpoint.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Loot Treasure

If you're not at a comfortable level before taking this place on, consider knocking out the one man aboard the ship docked here and then using the crossbow to kill the captain and anyone else that sees you. That seems to be the best way to go about it if you're around Lv30 or so.

Location: Wdj-ur Wreck

Location: North of the northeastern viewpoint.

Objectives: Loot Treasure (x2)

Another easy underwater location. This wont take very long.

Location: Zoiontegoi Shipwreck

Location: Southwest of the city of Herakleion.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

There are a few wild animals running about here, and a soldier will cry for help, starting the Loose Cargo quest. The treasure is on the wrecked ship.

Iment Nome has only one viewpoint inside its boundaries, and has overall very little to do.

Quest: Ambush in the Temple

Suggested: Lv06

Reward: 900XP

Bayek's friend Menehet is located in the Yamu Temple, in the Lake Mareotis region to the north. Meet him there when you get the chance, and the two will catch up for lost time. After a little while, Menehet's children will come out to play with Bayek, and you'll then have to find them all. One will have accidentally broken loose a hyena's cage, so get ready to take it down; another has gotten stuck in a well, and you can help him out of it by destroying the thin wall at the base, revealing a tunnel to the outside. Talk to Menehet once you've found all the kids, and he'll express some discomfort over another problem.

Quest: Secrets of the First Pyramids

Suggested: Lv23

Reward: 4000XP

This quest is available only if you have it as DLC. Although you have to have to travel to Saqqara Nome to properly start the quest, you get it here after finishing the prologue. Rescue a man named Merkes from his pursuers, and he'll tell you of three artifacts. In order to get all three of them, you need to first collect the initial two. Go for the one to the far east first, because Merkes will be right outside the tomb of the pyramid to the north. The artifacts you've gathered will fit into the top of the shining pyramid, revealing the location of the final artifact.

Ride with Merkes to the site and dig up the entrance, fight off a few snakes, and you'll find the golden head of a pyramid. All you get for this quest is the 4000XP, so if you're fortunate enough to have this quest without paying for it directly, then congratulations.

Location: Divine Lion Stone Circle

Location: A bit north and to the east of the viewpoint.

Objectives: Align the Stars

Assuming everyone has the same initial placement when starting this location, you should most easily find the constellation for the Divine Lion by moving to the right. You might have to change the angle of the constellation to make it fit properly.

Location: Eremos Hideout

Location: A bit north and to the west of the viewpoint. East of the Necropolis Bandit Hideout.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Loot Treasure

This place is tied to a quest given in the region of Lake Mareotis. Given the high amount of tall grass at this camp, you should be able to whistle to grab the attention of any enemy and knock them out with ease, including the captain. You could also try destroying an oil jar and setting the grass on fire. The treasure is inside one of the tents.

Location: House of Sand Hideout

Location: Way up at the northwest point of the region.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Loot Treasure

If you come into the hideout at night, you can sneak around through a cave entrance to the south and find the captain sleeping right next to the treasure, amongst two other enemies. One will be sleeping next to the captain, and another will be facing away from you, making for a quick completion.

Location: Necropolis Bandit Hideout

Location: Northwest of Iment Nome's only viewpoint.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Loot Treasure

This place is related to a quest started in the Lake Mareotis region. If you wait until nighttime, the captain of this camp should be out in the open and can easily taken down from above. The treasure is inside the cave, and you'll have to kill a few bandits to get to it. Again, if you infiltrate the hideout at night, this is made a lot easier due to the bandits having fallen asleep.

Location: Serqet Stone Circle

Location: Far towards the northwestern edge of the region.

Objectives: Align the Stars

The constellation you're given this time is a scorpion, and its corresponding stars are located further to the right than Amun's constellation from Siwa's stone circle.

Despite its size, this region is very small in terms of locations. As you move around, you'll want to avoid the high-leveled Phylakes riding on his chariot.

Location: Leirion Apiary

Location: At the northern border.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

There aren't many enemies here, so you should be able to sneak up to the treasure fairly easily. There's a lot of grass around here for you to use too.

Location: Nile Delta Ship

Location: Sailing the waters, generally to the south and east.

Objectives: Kill Captain

If you're at a lower level, say Lv28 for example, you'll find it easiest to kill the captain by doing a sneak attack from the ropes above him. You can get to these ropes by climbing up the back end of the ship. Alternatively, if you're fortunate enough to have the Phylakes' Smoke and Mirrors predator bow, you can use that to ignite the several oil jars on the ship.

Location: Ranos Hamlet

Location: At the southern end of the region.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

There aren't a lot of enemies here, so getting the treasure inside one of the buildings shouldn't be hard to pull off, even at a lower level.

Location: Saphthis Outpost

Location: In the middle of the region, southeast of the viewpoint.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Kill Commander, Loot Treasure (x2)

The treasures here are fairly easy to get to once you know where they are, but killing the higher-up enemies can be a bit of a challenge. There are lots of enemies all over the place here, so sneaking up on any single enemy will take some proper planning. You should also heavily consider setting a trap on the outpost's brazier as a precaution.

Ineb-Hedjet Nome might look like a pain to travel around, but there are actually three city locations that help make things easier. Alongside these is one single Phylakes; make sure you're either incredibly stealthy or have laid traps on any braziers you come across if you don't want to fight him amongst other enemies.

Location: Abandoned Temple of Kherty

Location: Slightly north of the northern viewpoint.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

You should only find about four enemies here, and the treasure is in the middle of the temple.

Location: Akhet's Crown

Location: South of Pr-Hapi-n-Iwnw, which is southeast of the southern viewpoint.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

This treasure is located in a submerged building under the water.

Location: Akronisos Camp

Location: At the northern end of the southern half of the region.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Loot Treasure

Best to attack this place at nighttime. You don't have to, though, because there are lots of patches of grass you can use to sneak up on just about everyone. You can also make use of some oil jars.

Location: Altar to Hapi

Location: In the water east of Kerkasoros.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

Another underwater location. Easy to finish like always.

Location: Anchorage

Location: Two ships on the east coast to the south.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

Despite their constant position, these two ships are still a hassle to complete. There are several enemies across both ships and one of them has a crossbow, so it might be in your best interest to either seize it or break it before dealing with the enemies properly.

Location: Camp Agrophylake

Location: Near the southern end of the region.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Loot Treasure

This camp is small, but there are enough enemies to keep you on your toes. If you want to distract them, free the rebels stuck in the cage nearby, but make sure the brazier is booby-trapped first. That is, if you're lucky enough for them to be rebels and not civilians.

Location: Castoff Temple of Hapi

Location: At the southern end of the island that Kerkasoros is on.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

The treasure is on the east side of the temple, surrounded by three snakes.

Location: Crocodile Lair

Location: In the southeastern corner of the region.

Objectives: Kill Animal

The usual animal lair. Remember that alpha crocodiles are far larger than the normal ones, which only seems to be the case for this species.

Location: Hugros Crossing Watchover

Location: Near the top of the region, next to a Ptolemy statue.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

There are only a few soldiers here. The treasure you're looking for is at the top of the tower.

Location: Kerkasoros Outpost

Location: East of the city of Kerkasoros, which is east of the northern viewpoint.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Kill Commander, Loot Treasure (x2)

There are lots of enemies here, and it's easy to get overwhelmed if you're found out, even at higher levels.

Location: Plesionhodur Hideout

Location: At the northern border of the region.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Loot Treasure

This location is wiped out in one of the story quests, so you may as well ignore this place until you get to it. The treasure is near the end of the cave.

Location: Pyramides Wharf

Location: Southeast of Kerkasoros.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

There are quite a few enemies patrolling the docks here. Try to sneak around or maybe even wait until nighttime to see if you can sneak around more easily.

Location: Upper Nile Trireme

Location: Sailing around the large island to the east.

Objectives: Kill Captain

There aren't a lot of enemies on this ship, and it's very easy to get a sneak attack in on the captain if you climb the back of the ship. Assuming you're at the proper level, you won't find any problems with taking the crew out.

Location: Winbe

Location: At the southern end of the island to the east.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

Not much is here. Only four soldiers protect the one treasure here.

The Isolated Desert has a fair amount of locations for its size. There are two high-leveled Phylakes running around here, which makes things a bit more interesting than the northwestern corner of the map.

Quest: Plight of the Rebels

Suggested: Lv40

Reward: 7500XP

A rebel woman here says that two of the children she's watching over have been taken by soldiers as they were looking for treasure. Travel to Camp Hetoimazo to the east and you'll rescue two rebels, who will tell you that they might be at Alexander's Temple to the northwest. Head over there with Khamet and look for an underwater tunnel with Senu to get to one of the children. Once you've freed him from the snakes and talk to Khamet.

Fast travel back to the rebel camp and save them from their attackers, then speak with the other rebel you saved from earlier, since he investigated the place that the girl once was. He will tell you that she's been taken to Pissa Bros Citadel, and since you're out there, you may as well kill the enemies' captain at Camp Khoikos. Istellah is hiding in a hay bale cart, so all you'll have to do for her is drive her out of there towards a camp south of the citadel.

Medon, on the other hand, has LOTS of bodyguards at high levels. You might want to wait until they're all alone before attacking them. Damage-inducing smoke bombs work wonders against them. Confirm the kill to get the shield back. If you do this after you rescue Istellah, then the quest will end here.

Location: Alexander's Temple

Location: West of the northeast viewpoint.

Objectives: Loot Treasure (x2)

One treasure is protected by some snakes in a less resilient portion of the temple. As for the other, you'll have to swim underwater to find a hidden tunnel to get to it. This one is also surrounded by snakes.

Location: Apis Stone Circle

Location: South of the lower east viewpoint.

Objectives: Align the Stars

A stone circle location. Easy and simple.

Location: Bathoslythos Ridge

Location: At the northeast corner of the region.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

There might be some animals and enemies fighting each other here. The enemies should be able to overtake the animals, so just wait things out until your opposition becomes as weak as possible.

Location: Burial Delving

Location: South of the lower east viewpoint.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

This place is just a hole in the ground with some hyenas sitting around it. The treasure you're looking for is in a tent, but you probably won't be able to sneak up to it without getting in a fight.

Location: Camp Dory

Location: Northeast of the northwest viewpoint.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Loot Treasure

The rebels here tend to get carried away and might kill the captain when you're way off somewhere else. This won't count for you, though, so if you come across this place and it's empty, use a hay bale to die by tossing a torch into it and jumping in. Everyone should respawn when you come back.

Location: Camp Hetoimazo

Location: South of the northeast viewpoint.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Loot Treasure

This is a pretty small camp. You can sneak behind everyone in broad daylight if you wanted to, or you can snipe at them from the cliffside.

Location: Camp Khoikos

Location: East of the northwest viewpoint.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Loot Treasure

Rebels will probably attack this place when you get to it, so make sure you tag the captain quickly and try to take him out first. It might be a good idea to trap the brazier too, since one soldier will certainly try to light it.

Location: Camp Tamaris

Location: Southwest of the northeast viewpoint.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Loot Treasure

This is a small camp that might be attacked by rebels on occasion. If this is the case, the rebels may have led the captain way off into the desert several hundred meters away.

Location: Camp Xeros

Location: Southwest of the lower east viewpoint, and west of the Apis Stone Circle.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Loot Treasure

Some rebels might be fighting the enemies when you arrive here. If that's the case, help them out and make sure nobody lights the brazier.

Location: Demiourgos Altar

Location: South of the lower east viewpoint.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

There's just a statue here with a treasure at the bottom. There are snakes lying around it, though.

Location: Goat Fish Stone Circle

Location: At the northwest tip of the region.

Objectives: Align the Stars

A stone circle, easy to complete.

Location: Golden Tomb

Location: South of the fast travel point for These Elpis Rift, or north of the lower east viewpoint.

Objectives: Find the Ancient Tablet

The puzzle for this tomb is different than most others. Early on into the area, you'll have to push a mirror into place to continue the beam of light deeper into the tomb. After this, be on the lookout for side paths and hidden tunnels leading to Silica and other treasures. Past this is one more mirror to push before you find the ancient tablet. To the side is another location, Out-mAa Niye Ressoot.

Location: Heat Oasis

Location: East of the northwest viewpoint.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

This is just an oasis. There might be some leopards sitting around it, but you should be able to avoid them as you get to the treasure.

Location: Hyena Lair

Location: West of the northeast viewpoint.

Objectives: Kill Animal

If you approach the lair from above, you should be able to perform a headshot on the alpha hyena and leave without having to fight the rest. The downside to this is that you won't be able to loot its soft leather, though.

Location: Kaminada Stairwell

Location: South of the southwest viewpoint.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

There's nothing here but some snakes. It won't take long for you to be done with this place.

Location: Ouahe

Location: Southeast of the northeast viewpoint.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

This place is just a little pool of water in a ridge. There shouldn't be anything here to stop you from getting the treasure tucked away near the rock wall.

Location: Oun-mAa Niye Ressoot

Location: Connected to the ancient tablet room in the Golden Tomb.

Objectives: Activate the Ancient Mechanism

Once you complete the Golden Tomb, walk into the next room and keep going until you reach a large space with strange architecture. You'll want to search the entire area for perhaps ten pieces of Silica, because you'll need to use up five of them to activate the mechanism at the back of the area. Watch the show that starts when you do so.

Location: Pissa Oros Citadel

Location: South of the northwest viewpoint.

Objectives: Kill Captain (x2), Kill Commander, Loot Treasure (x4)

A quest that's usually started in Herakleion Nome will bring you here, so start that and get far enough in the quest so you don't have to backtrack into this fort. If you can manage to sneak up on the commander, try to use a berserk poison on him to make him go nuts. Even if there aren't enemies around, the poison will eventually kill him if you wait long enough.

Location: Tomb of the Nomads

Location: In the far northwest tip of the region.

Objectives: Find the Ancient Tablet

The tablet here is underwater, and it's really easy to get to. First, take the piece of Silica in front of the man praying in the first room, then take a right to get to a pool of water. There are lots of pieces of Silica in the water, and the tablet is hidden behind a frail wooden barrier that you can break apart.

Location: Vulture Lair

Location: West of the lower east viewpoint.

Objectives: Kill Animal

An easy animal lair, since vultures are among the easiest violent animals to kill.

Location: Vulture Lair

Location: South of the northwest viewpoint.

Objectives: Kill Animal

Another easy vulture lair. There's a Ptolemy statue next to it to grant you some more XP.

This region is a very quick one to complete, especially since there are no cities and only one viewpoint throughout the whole thing. There aren't any quests, either.

Location: Abandoned Trireme

Location: East of Dasos Hideout, which is north of the viewpoint.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

The trireme here is obviously void of enemies, so there won't be much to do other than swim down and grab the treasure that fell off the ship.

Location: Dasos Hideout

Location: North of the viewpoint.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Loot Treasure

The treasure is very close to an objective for the quest The Old Library from Sapi-Res Nome. You might want to start that quest first before coming here. The captain is pretty tough, too, so try to sneak up on him if you can help it.

Location: Hathor Stone Circle

Location: Southeast of the viewpoint.

Objectives: Align the Stars

Another stone circle. These aren't exactly the hardest things to do.

Location: Khem Trireme

Location: At the port of Letopolis, but technically in this region.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

I'm fairly certain there are supposed to be guards on this trireme, but there weren't any when I went to it. It doesn't matter anyway, because the treasure is underwater.

Location: Khensu Anchorage

Location: In the water between Letopolis and the main island of Ka-Khem Nome.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

For this ship, you might want to try shooting at the enemies on board from afar. Hopefully you're at a high enough level that headshots will be able to kill the soldiers instantly, making your trip on-deck a lot easier.

Location: Lion Lair

Location: At the southern tip of the main island.

Objectives: Kill Animal

Lions aren't really that hard to kill for some reason, even when unarmed. But it's always a good idea to try and land a headshot with an arrow before you engage them.

Location: Sebennytos Shipwreck

Location: West of Dasos Hideout, which is north of the viewpoint.

Objectives: Loot Treasure (x2)

This is an easy underwater location to complete. The water is pretty shallow, so you won't spend much time here.

Kanopos Nome is just a bit bigger than Alexandria, which makes things harder to get to due to being spread out, especially spanning multiple islands.

Quest: Blue Hooligans

Suggested: Lv12

Reward: 1000XP

A big fan of the late Icarus, hero of the Hippodrome, has had her son killed by members of the opposing faction of the arena. They've also stolen a bust of Icarus to make things even more painful. She's very worried about her remaining son, who's been captured by the blue attackers and desperately asks you to find him and return him home. Kill them, and he'll ask you to retrieve the bust, which will be lying in the water to the north. Bringing the bust back to the grieving mother will end the quest.

Quest: Old Times

Suggested: Lv12

Reward: 1000XP

One of Bayek's old friends is out in front of the Hippodrome, and after talking to him, he'll ask you to meet up with him in the tavern in the city of Kanopos. Once you talk to him there, though, Bayek won't take his light talk very well. He'll drink quite a bit before Claridas decides to show him something. Claridas seems to have abandoned everything that made the two friends in the first place. After a little more arguing, you'll have to engage in a fistfight against him. The two will wake up and talk more smack before the quest ends.

Quest: The Hungry River

Suggested: Lv14

Reward: 1500XP

Some bandits have annoyed a group of hippos, which have in turn killed a farmer's friends and have settled in his fields. Just take all of the four bodies in the fields, and as you do so, you'll hear the farmer and his one surviving family member ask where Meketre is. Bayek ask who he is, and it turns out that Meketre was the farm's bodyguard. If he's not among the dead, then he must have been captured by the bandits that disrupted in the hippos, the Hungry Great Ones. They're hiding in the Potamus Hideout (hopefully you see where this is going) in Sap-Meh Nome, to the south.

Free Meketre and help him out of the camp so you can talk to him freely. He'll then ask for your help in defeating all the bandits in his village to stop this madness once and for all.

Quest: The Weasel

Suggested: Lv14

Reward: 1000XP

The steward of Apollodorus's estate has a bit of a problem. His servant is taking too long to get a simple letter from a pigeon tower, so he'll ask Bayek to get it instead. But, when you get to the tower, there'll be a bit of investigating to do. After finding out what happened, take what you've found back to the steward, who will then direct you towards the master of arms for the estate. After confessing for the situation, he'll attack you. It'll be a fight to the death with a Lv14 opponent, so be ready for it. Talk to the steward when the fight is over to finish the quest.

Quest: Wild Ride

Suggested: Lv12

Reward: 1000XP, Mount

Nikias, a young man who suggested Bayek join his team for the Hippodrome, will introduce him to his father at the start of this quest. To show what he's made of, Bayek will have to use the chariot here around a small course. When you get back, some bandits will have taken off with the team's favorite horse. Track them down with fellow green members and bring it back from the bandit camp to the north to finish the quest.

Location: Als Hideout

Location: On the island to the northeast.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Loot Treasure

This is a fairly guarded camp. If you can help it, try to shoot some of these enemies out with arrows, or even sleep darts if you have them, before trying to fight everyone at once.

Location: Aristoteles Shrine

Location: On the coast, to the northwest.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

The treasure here is located at the top of the intact archway in the pillar ruins. Just climb up and it's yours for the taking.

Location: Camp Menouthis

Location: On the east coast of the region, directly east of the southernmost viewpoint.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Loot Treasure

This camp isn't as well-protected as it could be, making a sneak attack on the captain an easy feat. The treasure is around the center of the camp, and is easy to get to once the captain has been taken care of.

Location: Crocodile Lair

Location: At the southeast corner of the region.

Objectives: Kill Animal

The alpha crocodile here will be somewhere around Lv14, so get yourself ready for a fight when you want to hunt it down.

Location: East Mediterranean Trireme

Location: Sailing around a small island in the seas north of the city of Alexandria. It can also appear in the northern seas of Kanopos Nome.

Objectives: Kill Captain

If you're around Lv9, you might have some trouble with killing the captain here, as the trireme has five men on it. If you have the patience, it's a good idea to wait until you're a higher level, OR you can try setting the ship on fire. It's up to you.

Location: Hamew Hut

Location: On the coast of the lake to the southwest.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

This treasure isn't actually on the docks; it's underwater, being guarded by some crocodiles.

Location: Heket Beer Cache

Location: In the lake to the southwest.

Objectives: Loot Treasure (x2)

Another simple underwater location. Just dive down and get the treasures.

Location: Hippodrome

Location: It's its own fast travel point.

This place isn't a normal location, but Hippodrome races do have achievements tied to them. The first one is easy, which is for winning your first tournament, the Nike's Winged Victory tournament. There are three races in a tournament that increase in difficulty, so naturally you'll want to do as well as you can in the first two races. There's no shame in trying the tutorial race either, just to learn how things work. For winning all four tournaments, you'll get a special mount for use around Egypt, but you don't have to get it if you don't want to.

• Ben-Hur

  Win the first Hippodrome tournament.

  
  

There's another achievement for destroying an opponent's chariot, which is done by charging when behind an opponent or by pressing it when next to them. You need to land the final blow for the achievement to pop. You can also destroy a chariot by drifting into them around a corner, but this only happens sometimes.

• Road Rage

  Destroy an opponent in a Hippodrome race.

  
  2 guides

Location: Kheruef's Shelter

Location: Directly east of the city of Kanopos.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

You might come across a bandit/hippo fight when you get here for the first time, making it a three-for-all in terms of teams. Either ignore them or fight them all, and enter the small hut on the coast to find the treasure.

Location: Menelaite Trireme

Location: On the shoreline north of the city of Kanopos.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

This treasure is in a ship to the east. You'll have to come here during a story quest, so you might want to just hold this location off until then.

Location: Requisitioned Tavern

Location: At the city of Kanopos.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

This location is easy to complete. Just head up the stairs of the building that the treasure is in, fight off a few guards, and take the loot.

Location: On the island to the northeast.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

There's a small cave south of the shrine that you can use to get to the treasure.

Location: Sunken Temple of Sarapeion

Location: In the lake east of the city of Kanopos.

Objectives: Loot Treasure (x3)

These treasures pose no challenge to find. It's even easier to get them due to the lake being very shallow.

Location: Zephyros Stables

Location: East of the Hippodrome.

Objectives: Find the nearby hidden Papyrus

This scroll is unusually far from where the marker is on the map. Check south of it to find the scroll in a small building. The puzzle is called Dead End.

This is a very small region with very little to it.

Location: Hathor of Mefkat

Location: This tiny region is defined by two roads. The one leading north is more important, and this location is west of that road.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

At even Lv15, you'll probably have some trouble fighting the few enemies here. Focus instead on finding the treasure or taking the enemies out stealthily. The treasure is underground, and you can find an entrance into the ruins around the center of the area.

Location: Kleptes End

Location: West of Hathor of Mefkat, and northeast from the Divine Lion Stone Circle of Iment Nome.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

There's nothing here, save for a few snakes. Toss torches at them 'til they catch fire or shoot arrows at them to clear the area, then go in for the loot.

Klysma Nome is the first area in Sinai that you arrive in for the Hidden Ones DLC. It's small, but there's a fair amount of stuff to do here if you're interested.

Quest: Howls of the Dead

Suggested: Lv40

Reward: 12000XP

A man playing an instrument says that a necropolis is haunted by those who can't pass into the afterlife properly. As you approach the necropolis, you'll come across an old man too scared to take his wife's body there. Place the body down inside the necropolis when you get there, then find the two treasures to save yourself the trouble later and continue further into the caves. Fight the man responsible for desecrating the tomb to end the quest.

Quest: Rise of Shaqilat

Suggested: Lv39

Reward: 12000XP

Talk to the fellow Hidden One Paanchi to learn about a missing man. Investigate the merchant ships in the harbor to find that he's in a cave in Klysma Quarry. Rescue him and talk to him to learn about a woman who freed the children on the ships in the harbor. Meet her and help her fend off attacking Romans, then convince her to join the Hidden Ones to finish the quest.

Quest: Shadows of the Scarab

Suggested: Lv44

Reward: 20000XP

Shadows of the Scarab, similar to Egypt's Phylakitai bosses, have appeared in Sinai. Kill the two that appear and you'll find a letter among one of them. Their leader, with motives for killing you unknown, is camped out in the desert to the south. Look for an extremely bloody horse that trails to a set of bandits buried in the sand. Just past this to the south is a cave entrance marked with two smoking fires.

Snoop around and look for a slit in the cave leading to a shrine to The Scarab. Pick up the object at the shrine, and you'll be attacked by the man who set it all up. Fight him in unarmed combat and reason with him afterwards to get him to change his ways.

If you finished both this quest and Rise of Shaqilat, you'll get an achievement.

Quest: The Ballad of Si-Mut and Gertha

Suggested: Lv41

Reward: 12000XP

Upon finding a man named Si-Mut digging on the side of the road, he'll ask for you to help him find his treasure. The treasure is hidden in riddles amongst scrolls that he's left around in his journeys. You fortunately don't have to solve these riddles, as the next general location should show up on your map. The Cave of Ur'in is fortunately very small, so it shouldn't take you long to find a tiger skin with the scroll in its mouth.

Next up is the hyena lair east of the eastern viewpoint in Madiama Nome. By a mural of the goddess Nut, you'll find the next scroll in the sand. The fourth is at Reaver's Canyon in Klysma Nome; look for some flammable hay stacked up near a wall at ground level, then burn it and walk inside to find the fourth scroll, which finally tells you the location of the treasure.

Head to the flooded quarry on the road north of Klysma Quarry and you'll find Si-Mut here, who will tell you that he's sunken several jars, one of which has the treasure. Once you find it, give it back to Si-Met and he'll show you to your prize.

Quest: The Killer Shadow

Suggested: Lv42

Reward: 8000XP, Legendary Mount

After convincing Shaqilat to join the Hidden Ones, a piece of paper will detail some information on the plans for slaves brought into the area. Travel deeper into the cave here and fight off two soldiers so you can burn the hay behind them, then talk to one of the child slaves to learn more about the slave master. Kill him and free a child he's moving to finish the quest.

Location: Duat Island

Location: A small island in the water at the southern border.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

The treasure here isn't on the island itself, but instead underwater.

Location: Hyena Lair

Location: Southwest of Operum Tuorum Gemmam Castra

Objectives: Kill Animal

The standard animal den. The challenge is more getting to this place than it is killing the hyenas here.

Location: Klysma Oil Cache

Location: North of Klysma Quarry.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

There are just about three soldiers protecting the oil here. Since the place is full of oil, you could try setting them on fire with it. You probably don't have to, though, because there aren't many enemies to deal with anyways.

Location: Klysma Trireme

Location: Docked north of the Klysma Oil Cache.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

This trireme is guarded by about five soldiers. There's not much else to know about the ship before storming it.

Location: Leopard Lair

Location: North of the viewpoint.

Objectives: Kill Animal

The typical animal lair.

Location: Necropolis

Location: East of the viewpoint.

Objectives: Loot Treasure (x2)

Start the quest Howls of the Dead, which will take you here anyway. One chest is hidden behind a wall of hay, which is in turn hidden behind a rug hanging on the wall. The other is found through a small hole that you'll have to pass under for the quest.

Location: Operum Tuorum Gemmam Castra

Location: South of the viewpoint.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Kill Commander, Loot Treasure (x2)

You'll be coming here as part of the main story. Due to the wide and open space you have to move around in here, you'll probably have to get in a few fights before you can get everything done.

Location: Paratiritirio

Location: Southeast of Operum Tuorum Gemmam Castra

Objectives: Find the nearby hidden Papyrus

To get this scroll, burn down a wooden plank in one of the buildings to find a hidden basement. The puzzle is called Stealthy Shrub.

Location: Reaver's Canyon

Location: Northeast of the viewpoint.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Loot Treasure

A standard bandit hideout. There are lots of cliffsides that you can use to pick the enemies off if you feel like it. Waiting til nighttime should be a big help as well.

Location: Seshat's Grotto

Location: The grotto entrance is west of the two blacksmiths in town.

Objectives: Loot Treasure (x2)

Look on the walls of the cave a small pile of hay you can burn, which leads to a smaller cave with both treasures right next to each other.

Location: Underground Outpost

Location: Northwest of the viewpoint, within Klysma Quarry.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

This a small cave in Klysma Quarry that's guarded by a few enemies in the high Lv30's. Just defeat the enemies inside for an easy treasure chest.

Location: Underwater Quarry

Location: North of Klysma Quarry.

Objectives: Loot Treasure (x2)

There are two simple treasures here. You should be able to get to them without fighting any crocodiles, but the one on land is protected by two snakes.

Kyrenaika is a dense region, like Alexandria and Memphis. There are a fair amount of quests to keep you busy alongside the decent amount of locations scattered about.

Quest: Absolute Power

Suggested: Lv36

Reward: 4500XP

After talking with Diocles as a part of the main story, talk to him again so you can help him with his problem. The corrupt Leander is wreaking havoc, and Bayek is willing to help put Leander in the light of the law. Your first course of action is to find a rather drunk man who's an important piece in this puzzle. Take him to Diocles' house to learn that the proof they need to reveal the corruption is in Leander's villa. All you've got to do is take it.

Fortunately for you, the villa is right next to a fast travel point. If you've not been there before, then you'll get to find a fast travel spot on your way, and if you have been to it before, then you get to reach the villa in about a minute. It's win-win either way. Just blast through the villa and take the papers, which will alert you of a coup against Dicoles and his friend. Make haste towards the meeting spot to warn him of it. Of course, as you arrive, the men will attack. Save them to finish the quest.

Quest: Cat and Mouse

Suggested: Lv36

Reward: 3000XP

After finishing the quest The Mousetrap, this quest will appear after a little while. The Mouse has been accused of murder and is being taken away in a cage; free him and talk to him, then go to the baths to investigate the crime scene. You'll have to get up to an open window to get inside the building.

After investigating the crime scene and taking a look at the body, you'll find a clue as to this murderer's next victim. Make a quick trip over there and learn from this man that the last victim is planned to be a man running a brothel. Find the murderer near this man and deal with them, then return to The Mouse and let him know how it all went down.

Quest: Dead in the Water

Suggested: Lv38

Reward: 3000XP

A woman named Agatha is worried about her captured son, who is held up in the Apollonia Barracks to the east. Take Titus out of the barracks and speak to him to learn what he's been trying to do. The Navarch he's interested in is on a ship in the waters; find it and kill him to finish the quest.

Quest: Are You Not Entertained?

Suggested: Lv37

Reward: 3000XP

A gladiator has left Cyrene with his master's sword, so naturally the Lanista wants at least the sword returned to him. Talk to him south of Cyrene and prove your worth by beating up some of his men, then investigate the nearby farm to find out where he is. Talk to him and ask about the sword, which has been tossed into the sea. Bring it back to Polymestor, then save him from the Lanista's men. Grateful for your help, he will allow you to keep the sword.

Quest: Founding Father

Suggested: Lv35

Reward: 3000XP

The Tomb of Battos is closed, which is upsetting many people. Climb up to the top and drop inside to find out why that is. It seems the Romans have taken two of the most important relics related to the tomb and have taken them to the Acropolis in the city. Take your time getting to the two artifacts and bring them back to the priest to finish the quest.

Quest: My Brother for a Horse

Suggested: Lv38

Reward: 4000XP, Rare Mount

A horse breeder named Darius has had his horse stolen, and he wants you to bring him back. The papers you need to find first are way over in Marmarica; use a viewpoint to get to it faster. You'll have to fight a few guys to retrieve the paper revealing the horse's present location in the massive fort to the east. Simply steal him and take him back to Darius, who will reward you with a new horse.

Quest: Pax Romana

Suggested: Lv35

Reward: 5250XP, Rare Hunter Bow

After finishing the quest Absolute Power (among others) and getting far enough into the main story, Diocles will ask you to find the deed to the fallen Leander's villa so that the property can return to the people. Return to the Roman Akropolis and find the deed, then bring it back to Diocles. After you bring it to him, Diocles will mention Vitruvius being in trouble, or so he says. Check on Vitruvius in the Green Mountains, who will tell you that bandits have taken his life's work. Head up into the nearby mountains and get it back to Vitruvius, who will now be back by the aqueduct.

After telling Vitruvius to go to the Oracle of Apollo, go to Balagrae to tell Praxilla the same thing. Crios, the man you saved earlier, is being attacked in the mountains, though. Kill his attackers and you'll be all set to meet up with everyone. The quest ends when you talk with everyone.

Quest: The Flea of Cyrene

Suggested: Lv34

Reward: 2250XP

This quest is doable at basically any level. I found it on accident by wandering all over the map after the prologue instead of going to Alexandria and benefitted greatly from the early amount of high experience for doing little to no work.

After being fairly impressive around the Temple of Zeus, Bayek is tasked with jumping from its viewpoint to show off even further to a small kid named Esiocles. All his friends call him Esio. He'll show you to the bathhouse, and then ask you to jump off the top of it. He'll then take you to the temple of Apollo for you to do the same. And after that, he'll take you to the base of the Acropolis for another jump. There are lots of enemies here, but you should be able to get to the top undetected.

Quest: The Mousetrap

Suggested: Lv35

Reward: 3000XP, Miscellaneous

Meet a shopkeeper in Cyrene who calls himself The Mouse and start following him to his shop. On the way there, some soldiers will attack you after having moved his belongings to the Cyrene Barracks. Take the stash and carry it all the way over to The Mouse and he'll thank you with money for now.

Quest: The Smugglers of Cyrene

Suggested: Lv37

Reward:

4000XP, Rare Heavy Blade

The Mouse needs some help getting the funds to start a new life after the events of the quest Cat and Mouse. Follow him to the docks and steal a shipping manifest, detailing the general location of the treasures you need to help him out. Once you have it all, head to the ruins and rescue him from bandits, then talk to him about the loot and go your separate ways.

Location: Apollonia Fields

Location: Southwest of the city of Apollonia.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

A pair of guards are protecting the treasure. They shouldn't be hard to overtake.

Location: Apollonia Roman Barracks

Location: East of the city of Apollonia.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Loot Treasure

Start the Dead in the Water quest before coming here, because you'll need to come here as part of that quest. It can be kind of tricky to sneak up on enemies here, so you should trap the brazier just in case someone goes to light it at some point during your visit here.

Location: Apollonion of Cyrene

Location: In Cyrene, to the northwest.

Objectives: Find the nearby hidden Papyrus

This puzzle, called Dead or Alive, is just sitting on a table.

Location: Cyrene Barracks

Location: In the city of Cyrene, to the northwest.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Kill Commander, Loot Treasure (x2)

This place is a part of the quest titled The Mousetrap. Start it before coming here to save time. The entire fort is easy to sneak through thanks to the grass and walls all around the place.

Location: Gladiator Arena

Location: It's its own fast travel point, opened after you kill The Crocodile.

Objectives: ---

This arena is a big step up from the one in Krokodilopolis. There are five arena events here, as well as a horde mode where you get to use your own equipment. You don't have to finish any of the events, but if you plan on doing so, I suggest being at a very high level before you try. If you're wondering, all of the fights here provide the same amount of XP as the events in Krokodilopolis do. The elite events, unlocked after completing the five standard events, involve tougher enemies with the only other notable difference being a higher gold payout.

Location: Roman Akropolis

Location: Part of Cyrene, to the west.

Objectives: Kill Captain (x2), Kill Commander, Loot Treasure (x4)

This fort is related to the Founding Fathers quest. Start it first and come here when you have to. This place is huge, and there are soldiers everywhere, so if you're patient enough you should try climbing up the backside to get to the brazier.

Location: Silphion Farm

Location: East of Cyrene's viewpoint.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

There are some guards protecting the treasure here, but you should be able to just sneak behind them and take them down.

Location: Sunken Shrine of Aristoteles

Location: On the coast, near the border of Marmarica.

Objectives: Loot Treasure (x2)

A simple underwater location. You'll be done here in no time.

Location: Temple of Zeus

Location: Northeast of the fast travel point for Cyrene.

Objectives: Find the nearby hidden Papyrus

The scroll is in the main temple, which just so happens to be the building you have to climb for a viewpoint.

Location: Thibron Expedition Shipwreck

Location: East of Apollonia.

Objectives; Loot Treasure (x2)

An underwater location. Easy money.

Location: Tomb of Battos

Location: In the city of Cyrene, to the west.

Objectives: Find the nearby hidden Papyrus

Climb up to the rooftop and you'll be able to get inside the tomb, where you'll find the scroll on a table. The puzzle is called Underground Currents.

There are four viewpoints around Lake Mareotis, and there are a few quests, too. Doing most of the stuff here on your first time through towards Alexandria would be a good way to level up in the early game.

Quest: Birthright

Suggested: Lv09

Reward: 600XP

There are some dead bodies just lying out in the open in the temple. The woman who brought them in, Iras, is back at her family's farm, which is being searched through by soldiers. Take them all down and find Iras in the well so she can fill you in on what happened. Next, run over to the villa located on the road towards Alexandria for information on the "sale" that took place that led to her family's death.

Upon finding a letter at the villa, you'll find out who's responsible: Sophronios. Find him and kill him in Alexandria to finish the quest.

Quest: The Book of the Dead

Suggested: Lv08

Reward: 600XP

A man named Beka has been mourning over a lost book that has been stolen by bandits. The bandits have camped out at the Necropolis Bandit Hideout of Iment Nome, which is directly south of where you've started this quest. Find the camp and retrieve the book, then return to Beka.

Upon coming to his house, it seems that his daughter will be mourning over her death. It won't be too late for Bayek to bring the book to Beka's dead body. Rush over there before the temple starts working on him to finish the quest.

Quest: Hidden Tax

Suggested: Lv06

Reward: 600XP

A woman near the coast will be asking for some help. It seems her husband has travelled across the water to see the ruins, but he hasn't come back yet. Travel to the island to the east, and you'll find Klaudios stranded on a rock in the water, surrounded by crocodiles. He'll be a bit disoriented when you talk to him, but there should be a boat nearby that you can use to take him back to his wife. But it seems that this is not her wife at all, and she was just trying to make a quick buck. Klaudios will be very grateful for your help after you get him out of this sticky situation.

Quest: Lady of Slaughter

Suggested: Lv08

Reward: 800XP, Legendary Outfit

There's one more thing Menehet needs help with. The temple is missing one of their key actors in a ceremony that's about to take place, and he can be found in the marketplace. He'll be really drunk, so you'll have to carry him back to the temple yourself. This guy is obviously not ready for a fight of the century, so Bayek will offer to fill his place.

The fight is pretty interesting thanks to the gear you're given. An effect tied to the scepter creates a multiplier that increases your damage and adrenaline with each successful hit. After you win the fight, you'll get to keep the outfit and scepter as a departing thank-you gift.

• The Festival

  Complete Side Quest "Lady of Slaughter".

  
  

Quest: Taste of Her Sting

Suggested: Lv17

Reward: 3750XP

Upon reaching the Lost Crypt, you'll find a death scene. Look around for several clues as to what occurred here. After looking at the clues, Bayek decides that he can't really make too much out of it, and that he'll keep an eye out for anything else. You can find another clue in the temple at the only viewpoint in Ka-Khem Nome. After you investigate, call on Senu to locate a cave, then head inside to find a few very volatile worshippers of Serket. If you're not at a good level to fight these guys, try leaving the cave and launching arrows into their heads through the crack you came in from. This will skip the rest of the quest, so you won't have to go anywhere else to find this place. Confirm the kill of the cult leader, and you'll finish the quest.

Quest: Ulterior Motive

Suggested: Lv07

Reward: 600XP

It seems someone's been selling false religious icons in the marketplace, and who else to put a stop to it other than the Medjay of Siwa? Ask the merchants about the fake goods, and one will promise to meet you at night. Travel to the meeting place and wait until nighttime, where the merchant in question will try to solve the problem his own way. After you defeat his bandit friends, talk to him once again, and he'll tell you the location at which the false relics are being made: a bandit camp in Iment Nome. Travel there, defeat the bandits, and then talk to Menehet to finish the quest.

Location: Abandoned Temple Hideout

Location: Northwest of the highest viewpoint.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Loot Treasure

There are lots of enemies here, and some of them will use smokescreens. Try to finish off most of the guards as stealthily as you can before you might be discovered. To get to the treasure, you'll need to find a small underground room at the northeastern edge of the hideout.

Location: Adexios Naftis Shipwreck

Location: South of the second highest viewpoint and east from the vulture lair.

Objectives: Loot Treasure (x2)

The two treasures here have sunken alongside the ship. They're not hard to find.

Location: Anoia Cave

Location: South of the northernmost viewpoint.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

This cave is really, really small, and the entrance can be found right underneath the location marker. There's nothing special about it save for its size.

Location: Crocodile Lair

Location: Southeast of the Temple of Sekhmet in Yamu.

Objectives: Kill Animal

Unlike most other alpha variants of animals, the alpha crocodile is far bigger and stronger than its relatives. Be very careful when you hunt these beasts.

Location: Dead Men Tell No Tales

Location: Next to the second highest viewpoint.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

There's just a chest under the water by the coast. You might run into a few crocodiles here, though.

Location: Hippopotamus Lair

Location: Directly west of the second highest viewpoint on the map.

Objectives: Kill Animal

Hippos are heavy hitters, and they've got tank-y health too. Going in with only your bare hands is probably a bad idea.

Location: Hypostyle Hall

Location: North of the viewpoint by the coastal city.

Objectives: Locate the nearby hidden Papyrus

The scroll here is a bit high up in the main building of this location. Senu and the Animus Pulse can help you find it.

Location: Lakeside Villa Outpost

Location: South of the highest viewpoint in the region.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Loot Treasure

This place is related to two or so quests, so you might not want to come here until you have to. Lots of enemies patrol this outpost, and only a few of them will be asleep at night, so waiting until then doesn't prove much of an advantage. A good starting move would be to booby trap the brazier to the northeast, and then releasing the lion in the cage on the west side.

Location: Lost Crypt

Location: Southern island of Lake Mareotis.

Objectives: Loot Treasure (x2)

There are two chests here. One of them is in a small room hidden underneath a wooden frame, which is easily destroyed with a couple of arrows. The other is by the coast, near a bunch of crocodiles, so you might want to think of a plan to kill them all before you go for it.

Location: Mareia Anchorage

Location: To the far northeast of the region, in the water.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

This ship has a few enemies on it that will be a bit higher level than you if you're attempting to finish the location off on your first visit to the region. There are two lions that might be able to help you a little bit, but that's about it. If you really want to get the location done early, focus on using stealth attacks from above over and over on the enemies.

Location: North Mareotis Trireme

Location: Sailing around the northern half of Lake Mareotis.

Objectives: Kill Captain

This ship is a bit hard to catch up to, but the soldiers on board shouldn't be too much of a problem if you're at a level around theirs. Sneak attacks from above will help a lot here.

Location: South Mareotis Trireme

Location: Sailing around the southern end of Lake Mareotis.

Objectives: Kill Captain

Take a sailboat to more easily get to the trireme, then use Senu to identify the captain. It's a good idea to climb up the back of the ship and use its high vantage point to get the drop on him. You could also try simply setting the ship on fire and seeing what happens. If you catch fire in the process of doing this, quickly jump in the water to minimize damage to yourself.

Location: Sunken Desmoterion Ship

Location: In the middle of the lake.

Objectives: Loot Treasure (x2)

As with any underwater location, it's a good idea to use Senu to find what you're looking for before diving in. The Animus Pulse helps as well.

Location: Vulture Lair

Location: On the main road from the northernmost viewpoint to the small town by the lakeside.

Objectives: Kill Animal

The only vulture to ever be aggressive to you on site is the alpha, so you can run straight into the lair if you'd like to rush things.

Libue is a small region with no viewpoints, meaning you'll have to find all these locations on your own instead of having some kind of guidance from synching.

Location: Bewail Mountain Cave

Location: West of the Leopard Lair.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

There are a few enemies in this cave, and a few outside of it. They should all be pretty easy to sneak up on if that's what you're trying to do.

Location: Leopard Lair

Location: Almost directly north of Siwa's northernmost viewpoint.

Objectives: Kill Animal

The alpha leopard here is about Lv34, so be sure you're at a high enough level for fighting a few leopards.

Lion Lair

Location: Northeast of Saragina Camp.

Objectives: Kill Animal

A lion lair. The alpha lion should be around Lv34, so make sure you're prepared to fight it and its allies.

Location: Saragina Camp

Location: West of the Leopard Lair.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Kill Commander, Loot Treasure (x2)

This place is tough at Lv31 due to the captain and commander being at Lv34 and higher. I suggest only coming here once you're around Lv34 or Lv35 to make things a fair fight.

Madiama Nome is the largest of the four regions in Sinai. Although not as dense with locations, it does contain the Walls-of-the-Ruler Citadel, which has an achievement linked to clearing it.

Quest: Respect Thy Brother

Suggested: Lv40

Reward: 8000XP

During the main story quest The Walls of the Ruler, you'll likely come across the dead body of a fellow Hidden One. Take his body out of the fortress and reach the location marked in-game to properly put him to rest.

Location: Ankh Stone Circle

Location: West of the northern Leopard Lair, on a mountain.

Objectives: Align the Stars

The stone circles in Sinai correspond to a completely different set of constellations. This one should be in the lower half of the sky.

Location: Cave of Ur'in

Location: Southwest of the northern viewpoint, a little ways off from the coast.

Objectives: Loot Treasure (x2)

If you come here for the quest The Ballad of Si-Mut and Gertha, then you'll enter this small cave looking for a clue. There should only be a handful of soldiers waiting outside the cave in tents.

Location: Hyena Lair

Location: East of the eastern viewpoint.

Objectives: Kill Animal

If you come here for the quest The Ballad of Si-Mut and Gertha, then you'll come here looking for another scroll. As for the objective, that should be as straight-forward as all animal lairs are.

Location: Ibex Lair

Location: East of Walls-of-the-Ruler.

Objectives: Kill Animal

There are barely any ibex lairs in the entire game, with the only other one being in Siwa. This will be an easy hunt; enjoy this quick completion.

Location: Lake Anubis

Location: The lake next to the eastern viewpoint.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

The treasure here is in the water behind the small island in the lake.

Location: Leopard Lair

Location: Near the Sobek Stone Circle at the bottom of the map.

Objectives: Kill Animal

The typical animal lair, something you should be used to after you've gone through enough of the base game.

Location: Leopard Lair

Location: West of Shur Quarry, east of the Ankh Stone Circle.

Objectives: Kill Animal

The typical animal lair, something you should be used to after you've gone through enough of the base game.

Location: Point Mafkat

Location: On a mountain in the northwest corner of the region.

Objectives: Find a place to rest

Once you've made the climb up to Point Mafkat, look around for a red towel to sit on to earn a free skill point.

Location: Seshat's Sunken Temple

Location: North of the Ankh Stone Circle

Objectives: Loot Treasure (x3)

A sunken temple has sunken treasures. Each treasure is separated from the other two, however, which makes things somewhat more tedious. Two are found with holes on the Nile floor, and the third is found by swimming through a hole on the side of the temple above ground.

Location: Shur Quarry

Location: West of the eastern viewpoint.

Objectives: Find the nearby hidden Papyrus

The scroll is high up in a tent to the north, and the puzzle is called Lost Cause. There shouldn't be any enemies here to give you any trouble.

Location: Sobek Stone Circle

Location: A golden ? at the bottom of the map.

Objectives: Align the Stars

The stone circles in Sinai correspond to a completely different set of constellations. This one should be in the lower half of the sky.

Location: The Scarab's Trireme

Location: In the water, near the southern end of the map.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

An underwater location. Easy to complete, as usual.

Location: Vulture Lair

Location: Southwest of the northern viewpoint.

Objectives: Kill Animal

One of the easiest animal lairs in the game. You'll have more trouble getting here than you will killing the alpha vulture.

Location: Walls-of-the-Ruler

Location: East of the northern viewpoint.

Objectives: Kill Captain (x2), Kill Commander, Loot Treasure (x6)

You'll be coming here through the DLC's story, so don't come here before then to save yourself the time. As you find your target in the citadel, take down the captains and commander as well. The treasures are easy to find, save for one in an underground area and one in a tower far from the main fortress, to the south. You get an achievement for completing this place.

• Walls of the Ruler

  Complete the Walls-of-the-Ruler citadel (The Hidden Ones)

  
  

Marmarica is mountainous and therefore hard to travel across, but there's not too much here compared to its size anyway.

Quest: His Secret Service

Suggested: Lv38

Reward: 3000XP

Assuming you've already done the related quest in the Green Mountains, Shadows of Apollo, you only need to take the man here out of the fortress to finish the quest.

Location: Archile Pandocheion

Location: North of the higher viewpoint.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

The only enemies here are in the building near the back of the area, which of course has the treasure in it. There are only four soldiers, so this shouldn't be too hard.

Location: Bemulos Roman Tower

Location: On a tall mountain to the east of the viewpoints.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Loot Treasure

Try to wait until nighttime before attacking here. Things should be a lot easier when two of the enemies are asleep.

Location: Cape Chersonesos Settlement

Location: East of Chersonesos Roman Fort, on the coast.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

The building that this treasure is held in can easily be snuck into, just make sure the guards are looking away first. You could complete this place at a low level since you don't have to fight anyone to get to the treasure.

Location: Chersonesos Roman Fort

Location: East of the Lego XXXVII Roman Docks, on the coast.

Objectives: Kill Captain (x2), Kill Commander, Loot Treasure (x4)

With a place so big as this, I heavily suggest trapping the brazier as soon as you can. The penalty for being caught is great here already, and you won't want to make it worse by having reinforcements show up. The commander is an incredibly dangerous foe at any level, so you should go for him last.

Location: Desolated Lookout

Location: Northwest of the lower viewpoint.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Loot Treasure

The treasure here is only accessible by means of a passage underground. When you find it, toss a torch on the barrier above it so you can get inside.

Location: Endumion's Nemein

Location: North of the Hydrax Roman Camp.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

There are only a few enemies here. If you wait until nighttime you should be able to sneak up on everyone without being seen, making quick work of this place.

Location: Erythron Dye Workshops

Location: On the coast, north of the higher viewpoint.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

There should only be three guards protecting the treasure, which is near the coast. Sneaking up on them is easy.

Location: Hudor Fountain

Location: Northwest of the higher viewpoint, near the border to Kyrenaika.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

There's not really much to this place, but lots of snakes are guarding the treasure. A smoke bomb would take care of all of them at once.

Location: Hydrax Roman Camp

Location: Southeast of the lower viewpoint and east of Kelida Hideout.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Loot Treasure

This place is related to the Green Mountains' Shadows of Apollo quest; you'll want to start it before coming here to save time. The backside of the camp is very easy to climb, leading you straight to the treasure at the top and giving you a good position to trap the brazier. If you have fire bombs, that'd be a good way to get a first strike in on a group of enemies if they end up being close together.

Location: Kelida Hideout

Location: South of the lower viewpoint and east of the Shrine to Hygieia in the Green Mountains.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Loot Treasure

This hideout is fairly populated. You should be able to shoot out a few enemies and whistle them over to you using the bushes near the front.

Location: Legio XXXVII Roman Docks

Location: On the coast, northeast of the higher viewpoint.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Loot Treasure

The soldiers here are at very high levels. Be careful sneaking around if you do. There should be a caged crocodile that you can free by continuously throwing torches at his cage until the door breaks.

Location: Lion Lair

Location: Southeast of the lower viewpoint and next to the Livius Roman Tower.

Objectives: Kill Animal

The alpha lion here will be around Lv40, so when you come here, make sure you're at least that level or higher if you have the DLC installed.

Location: Livius Roman Tower

Location: North of Endumion's Nemein.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Loot Treasure

A well-made fort, best infiltrated by climbing the main building first. Doing this should get you in the perfect position to sneak up on everyone, especially at night when two enemies should be asleep.

Location: Theodoros Roadside Camp

Location: Northeast of the lower viewpoint.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

If you're unlucky, you'll not only have to face off with the soldiers here but a horde of leopards as well. At least they'll be fighting with each other too.

Location: Thintis Roman Tower

Location: East of the city of Balagrae in the Green Mountains region.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Loot Treasure

Like most Roman fortifications, you're easily going to take over the place if you climb the backside all the way to the top and work your way down. The brazier is at the top and the treasure is in the second highest room, making the backside climb well worth it.

Memphis is one of the more important regions of Egypt, despite its small size. There's quite a lot to do here.

Quest: A Dream of Ashes

Suggested: Lv21

Reward: 3300XP

Returning to the seer after one of the story quests so you can talk about the dream you had. Before the seer will talk about it, he has a more pressing matter for you to help with. He believes three people are in danger, and wants you to deliver scarab amulets to them in order to keep them safe. Simply get to each of the people and give them their amulet, then meet the seer by the docks.

After speaking with the seer about your dream, he tells you that you can get rid of this nightmare by the use of a statue in the water. Take the statue to the seer and use the Dawn & Dusk skill to meditate with him. This will finish the ritual, but the seer will have vanished as the quest ends.

Quest: Blood in the Water

Suggested: Lv20

Reward: 1500XP

A crocodile hunter is being hired to make sure the crocodiles don't overpopulate, but things are getting a bit too intense for him. Sit on his boat and he'll tell you about his problem; someone's been pouring blood into the water to agitate the crocodiles even further. Kill some crocodiles outside the palace and then meet the hunter in the caves underneath the palace at nighttime.

The hunter will tell you the locations of the two people who have been dumping human body parts into the river to attract the crocodiles. Kill them and the quest will end.

Quest: Children of the Streets

Suggested: Lv23

Reward: 3300XP

When you arrive near this place, a child will run by and you'll have to chase him down. He'll land between three bandits that you need to fight off before you can talk to them. The child's sister has been taken away, so you'll tell him you'll look for her. There's an oil seller that will be too stubborn to help you out, so break his jars to the left of him to loosen him up. From the information he's gathered, Bayek will deduce that the ship owners must have stolen the girl.

Travel to the hideout and talk to the child hiding here to find out that the girl you're looking for is being held in the house of a woman named Gaia. Travel to the house and take the key from one of the bandits guarding it, then look for a staircase around the building to get to her. Angry about what has happened to her family, she'll plan on killing those responsible before the three of them leave.

Quest: Mortem Romanum

Suggested: Lv30

Reward: 3000XP

Gaia, the woman who's been ruining the children's family, is leaving to Alexandria by ship. Track her down and kill all of her men first, since they'll actually be attacking you. Once they're down, walk up to her and be as dramatic as you wish about killing her to finish the quest.

Quest: Odor Most Foul

Suggested: Lv20

Reward: 1500XP

It seems some demons are being a bit too smelly underground. Use Senu to look for the entrance and you'll find some bandits, go figure. Keep exploring and you'll enter an investigation, which will result in you finding out that the mummification process has been completely disregarded. This alone is the cause of the smell, so travel to Wabet and inspect the temple. After talking to a man working on a corpse, you'll learn that natron is used to prepare the bodies, but it's been a bit weird lately.

Talk to the man out back, who will tell you that the natron has been mixed with sand recently. Travel to the warehouse and you'll find the head embalmer, who will explain that he's being forced to do this to protect his daughter. Find the men responsible in a nearby cave and kill them to end the quest.

Quest: Taimhotep's Song

Suggested: Lv22

Reward: 3000XP

Taimhotep is still mourning after the seer's help. Bayek will offer to collect ingredients for a ritual to protect her pregnancy. Speak to a woman running a shop underground and push a hidden cabinet behind a white curtain to find a fertility doll, then bring bird parts to Taimhotep once you have them. By fast traveling out of here, you'll skip a fight with a few enemies. After taking the pieces to her, she'll ask you to ride with her and her maid to a pyramid in Saqqara Nome so she can perform her ritual there at night. Once she makes it to the top of the structure the quest should end.

Quest: The Baker's Dilemma

Suggested: Lv23

Reward: 1500XP

A baker seems to have lost her taster and can't work as hard as she used to. On top of that, she's all out of cinnamon. Track down the taster and bring him back to his partner. When you get there, he'll explain that there's been a plot to poison the cakes these bakers have made; set out to the nearby garrison and destroy the cakes before they poison somebody. The quest will end once all the cakes have been destroyed.

Location: Apagogeas Hideout

Location: At the southern border, to the southeast.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Loot Treasure

The patches of grass here make it incredibly easy to sneak up on everyone here. Oil jars are by a fire pit as well.

Location: Corrupted Soldiers Cache

Location: Southeast of the viewpoint to the northeast.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

You would imagine that a place with a name like this would have many enemies around it, but there are only about three or so. It goes without saying that this is an easy completion.

Location: Fai-Jon Lamentu Crypt

Location: Southwest of the middle viewpoint.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

To get to this crypt, you'll need to use a passageway in the Temple of Ptah. After getting through a snake fight, you should find the treasure among them.

Location: Hathor Cistern

Location: Underneath the Temple of Hathor, which is west of the lowest viewpoint.

Objectives: Loot Treasure (x2)

Jump down from the Temple of Hathor to get to the cistern, where you should easily find a treasure protected by a snake. Dive under the water here and you'll find a hidden cave leading to the other treasure, which has three snakes surrounding it.

Location: Memphis Barracks

Location: Right next to the city of Memphis.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Kill Commander, Loot Treasure (x2)

This place is pretty big, and despite your level you might find yourself in a pinch if you end up getting surrounded. I would suggest investing time to booby trap the brazier just in case someone decides to light it.

Location: Omorfi Villa

Location: Southwest of the middle viewpoint.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

There should only be two enemies here, so getting to the treasure is easy, especially since it's on the ground floor of the villa.

Location: Palace of Apries

Location: North of the viewpoint west of the city of Memphis.

Objectives: Find the nearby hidden Papyrus

The scroll here is on top of a bookshelf inside this large palace. The puzzle for this one is called In Plain Sight.

Location: Sunken Crypt

Location: North of the city of Memphis.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

The treasure in here is hidden deep underneath the surface. Take the entrance on the ground into the water and dive as deep as you can do in the ruins to get to it.

Location: Sunken Temple of Ramses

Location: In the water to the southeast.

Objectives: Loot Treasure (x2)

An underwater location, easy to complete.

Location: Temple of Hathor

Location: To the west of the lowest viewpoint.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Loot Treasure

The temple here has been taken over by enemies. There aren't a whole lot of them here, though, so you should be able to get through here just fine. The Hathor Cistern is underneath the temple.

Location: Temple of Ptah

Location: West of the middle viewpoint.

Objectives: Find the nearby hidden Papyrus

This scroll's on a table, and the puzzle is called Fallen Friend.

Location: Wabet

Location: Near the northern border of the region.

Objectives: Find the nearby hidden Papyrus

This scroll is at the back end of the temple, and is for a puzzle called Burning Bush.

Location: Yuny's Beset Villa

Location: To the far west of the highest viewpoint, by the side of a lake.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

There are a few enemies here, but you won't have to face many of them since the treasure you're looking for is on the second floor of this small villa.

There's only one location tied to this vast chunk of sea. Unlike the Great Green Sea, you'll have to come here at a later level to complete it.

Location: West Mediterranean Trireme

Location: Sailing the Mesogeios Sea. Occasionally ends up near Kyrenaika.

Objectives: Kill Captain

The enemies and captain aboard this ship should be around Lv35. Like all ship locations, this one will stop moving after everyone on it is dead, so if you want it to keep going after the captain is killed, leave someone alive.

Paraitonion is a large region with only four locations and one viewpoint, so it's a bit hard to get around. The whole region should be completable at early levels, although you'll naturally have an easier time doing so when you're around Lv35 or so.

Location: Kalliergeia

Location: Near the border of Lake Mareotis.

Objectives: Loot Treasure (x2)

This is a small house-like structure guarded by enemies at around Lv07. This should be easy to do as soon as you get to Lake Mareotis's highest viewpoint, since that's the easiest way to get to this place.

Location: Keno

Location: South of the viewpoint.

Objectives: Loot Treasure (x2)

Keno is overrun with leopards, but it's real easy to get to the treasures without alerting them. They are cats, after all.

Location: Keno Hideout

Location: Near the viewpoint.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

This is a small little place with three enemies at very high levels around it. You can definitely sneak by all three to get to the treasure without a fight.

Location: Ogdamos

Location: In the middle of the region.

Objectives: Find a place to rest

Rest in a house here to earn a free skill point.

The Qattara Depression is a desolate wasteland with not much else to do other than what can be found below. It does, however, serve as a nice place to hunt for soft leather and other things. There are no viewpoints here, so you'll have to find the three locations here yourself. They shouldn't be hard to find, though. If you're really persistent about it, you could complete this region at a very, very low level as opposed to coming here in the late game.

Location: Aquifer Oasis

Location: A small pool of water on the western half of the region.

Objectives: Find a place to rest

There are lots of hyenas around here that will give you a really hard time if you're at a low level. But, if you're coming here after finishing the prologue, you still stand a chance at finishing the location. Rest in the middle of three torches in the water to get yourself a free skill point.

Location: Hotep Cavern

Location: A bit to the east of the border between the Qatarra Depression and Siwa.

Objectives: Loot Treasure (x2)

There are a bunch of hyenas protecting this cave, and the two treasures are at the very back. I'm not entirely sure where their level lies, because I managed to complete this cave at Lv23. If you want to do the same, just climb along the walls until you get to the treasure. Hyenas obviously can't climb walls, which is great for low-level characters.

Location: Osiris Stone Circle

Location: Northeast from the Aquifer Oasis.

Objectives: Align the Stars

The constellation of Osiris fits with the stars below the constellations of the Lion and the Scorpion, both of which are much earlier-game stone circle constellations.

The Red Sea of Sinai contains only three locations.

Location: Red Sea Trireme

Location: Sailing all across the Red Sea, occasionally stopping at harbors.

Objectives: Kill Captain

Climb up the back of the trireme and wait for the captain to come into view so you can assassinate him, then just leave or take care of the rest of the enemies to return to safety.

Location: The Bowels of the Sinai

Location: In the water east of Arsinoe. It's got a lighter blue tint.

Objectives: Loot Treasure (x3)

Three treasures are spread out throughout a shipwreck and an underwater crevice. Even with the Breath Holding Champion skill, you'll very likely have to come up for air at least once.

Location: The Turquoise Island

Location: The small island at the top of the region.

Objectives: Find a place to rest

Climb to the top of the island for a skill point. The game won't let you come here until the story is complete.

A fairly sized region, Sap-Meh Nome is home to many animals and bandits.

Quest: Fair Trade

Suggested: Lv13

Reward: 1000XP

Some stupid soldier stole a marvelously crafted spear from a blacksmith in the Sau village. He's now sailing on a ship on Lake Mareotis, so travel there and seek him out. All you've gotta do is kill him and confirm the kill to finish the quest. It's real simple.

Quest: In Protest

Suggested: Lv13

Reward: 1000XP

A woman named Europa believes her friend Eryx to have been murdered. A soldier asked him to build a chariot, but he killed Eryx afterwards and took the finished chariot for himself. Europa wants you to kill the man responsible and destroy the chariot. Fortunately for you, the soldier is very close, within Anthylla Outpost to the northwest. Get on your mount, because when you get too close, the soldier will take off with the chariot. Once you have control of the chariot, drive it into deep water to destroy it. Let Europa know to finish the quest.

Quest: Thick Skin

Suggested: Lv13

Reward: 1000XP, Miscellaneous

The wife of a tanner in Sau says that her husband could really use some help. Look for him to the northwest and save him from a vicious crocodile, then talk to him about his issues. He'll give you a list of a few animal goods to collect, and if you don't have them, you'll have to go out and hunt them down real quick. All you have to do is talk to him once you have them, and the quest will end.

Location: Anthylla Outpost

Location: In the middle of the eastern island.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Kill Commander, Loot Treasure (x2)

The captain and commander here are pretty brutal to fight if you're going against both at the same time. Try to be stealthy with at least one of them to make things go a lot smoother. The chests aren't hard to find, either.

Location: Crocodile Lair

Location: Southwest of the viewpoint to the northeast.

Objectives: Kill Animal

This is really easy to do with a good bow, since there are lots of ledges surrounding the water the crocodiles are in. The solution to a papyrus puzzle is here too; if you have Divided Valley, you'll find its solution by a tree.

Location: Hyena Lair

Location: Very far to the northwest on the coast.

Objectives: Kill Animal

I just happened to find the alpha hyena sitting on the ground, and shot it in the face in the arrow.

Location: Hydroporos Hamlet

Location: On the eastern island, on the northern coast.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

There are some guards walking around the hamlet here, but you can sneak past them, walk into the cave, and take the treasure unopposed.

Location: Mareia Port

Location: By the little lake near the center of the eastern island.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

This treasure is by the coast. There's not really much else to say about this place.

Location: Peristerion Town

Location: On the eastern side of the east island, past the river trailing through.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

There are a few enemies walking around this small "town", and they're going to be a bit of a pain, especially if a chariot just so happens to pass by as you approach the treasure.

Location: Potamos Hideout

Location: On the western island of the region.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Loot Treasure

This location is related to The Hungry River quest in Kanopos Nome. If you'd like to kill two birds with one stone, start that quest first and wait until you're directed to come here. The captain is a bit tough to kill, as always, but the treasure will be right next to the man you have to rescue, assuming you have started the quest as suggested.

Location: Smuggler's Dock

Location: On the northwestern coast.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

The treasure here is on a semi-sunken boat in the water, so you won't really have to engage in combat to finish this location.

Location: Taua

Location: Near the southern tip of the eastern island.

Objectives: Loot Treasure (x2)

This burnt-out town is guarded by several soldiers, but thanks to the layout of the place, it should be pretty easy to sneak up on most of them. The treasures' locations aren't interesting enough to warrant any kind of advice.

Sapi-Res Nome is a small, skinny region wedged between Lake Mareotis and the beginning of the islands to the northeast. There's a fair amount to do here; there's a bit less to do than Sap-Meh Nome, but a bit more than Ka-Khem Nome.

Quest: Abuse of Power

Suggested: Lv17

Reward: 1500XP

A man near Sais needs his crop yield loaded onto his cart before the dastardly tax man comes along. After you load the cart up, things take a very high spike. Now you have to kill the tax collector. Fortunately, at least this was the case for me, the tax collector is just in Sais and it's very easy to drop down on him for a kill. The quest ends as soon as he's dead, but there'll be some other enemies nearby to contend with.

Quest: All Eyes on Us

Suggested: Lv16

Reward: 1250XP

For this quest you'll be tasked only with killing the six archers watching over Sais. You might've even already killed some before you get this quest. The quest will end once all six are dead.

Quest: Conflicts of Interest

Suggested: Lv15

Reward: 1250XP

The harbor master Zervos is missing. Talk to the merchants in the daytime about him to find out that Zervos has gone to Letopolis, then wait until nighttime and tail all three of them. They'll actually end up talking to Zervos, who's hiding out in a house nearby. Confront the four, and you'll learn why Zervos is in hiding; he's been hiding everyone's goods so The Scarab doesn't tax them to hell. Destroy or steal Zervos's ship containing all of his records and return to him to finish the quest.

Quest: Lost Happiness

Suggested: Lv16

Reward: 1250XP

One of the brewery's men never arrived to his destination. You can find him held prisoner in a nearby bandit camp. He'll explain that he was overwhelmed as he took a nap, and all the beer has already been consumed by the bandits. Luckily for you, that's not your problem, as the quest will end after you're done talking to him.

Quest: New Kid in Town

Suggested: Lv18

Reward: 1500XP

Talk to a man preaching about the city he's in, Letopolis, and you'll be directed towards a man named Nehi. His cart got stuck in a ditch, and he fled the scene leaving everything he owned behind when he heard some roaring in the distance. Locate the cart, and use Senu to find some bandits AND lions working together to ambush you. Try to kill some of them from afar before you approach the cart. When things have calmed down, take the cart back to Nehi.

After he gets his things back, he'll ask you to check out some strange writing he found on his wall; talk to the man that started this quest again, and he'll tell you three other people have found more writing on their walls. Locate these people with Senu, talk to them, and check out the writing in their houses. The four houses tell the approximate location of an ancient temple in the dunes to the west of Letopolis.

Despite your directions, travel southwest to find the temple, guarded by more bandits and lions. Investigate the temple through a small crack in the wall, then return to Letopolis to reveal your findings. If you try to talk to Nehi and it doesn't let you, you might want to try closing fully out of the game and then coming back in. By letting him know about the city, he'll thank you for telling him and try to leave with a woman that's taken a liking to him.

Quest: Smoke Over Water

Suggested: Lv15

Reward: 2000XP

A woman named Jeska was once smuggling people out of Sais before she was found out by The Scarab. Now that she's dead, talk to her friend Amosis by the docks to ask him if he'll take her place. Actually, she's not dead; she escaped her death sentence and took supplies along with her. Take a quick sailing trip to the island Jeska is stranded on and kill the hippos that are trying to attack her. She'll sail you to Mefkat, where it seems The Scarab's men has already visited here. Kill all of The Scarab's men and talk to Jeska, which is when you'll find a sole survivor. Take him to the farm nearby to ensure his safety and finish the quest.

Quest: The Old Library

Suggested: Lv18

Reward: 1500XP

During the quest Workers' Lament, you'll find a hidden library under the Temple of Horus. In here is a scroll detailing the location of a high quality sword, and Bayek will immediately be interested. Fast travel (if you can) to the only viewpoint in the region of Ka-Khem Nome, where the investigation for the sword takes place. On the ground is a very anxious man with a knife. After Bayek talks to him, he'll tell him that the bandits to the north have probably taken the sword by now.

Run on over to Dasos Hideout and locate the sword with Senu. If you want to avoid any human combat, you can get to the sword by dropping down a hole. There's a pack of hyenas down here, though, so be ready to fight them instead. The quest ends when you have the sword in your possession.

Quest: The Ostrich

Suggested: Lv17

Reward: 1500XP

A man hiding in a building is terrified of Sefetu's soldiers, but if he doesn't get to work, he'll be hit with Sefetu's tax collector. Instead of having the man go back to work like he's supposed to, the plan is to kill the tax collector instead. The tax collector should be at Camp Shemu, which is at the southwest corner of the region at the coast of Lake Mareotis. When you kill him, the quest should end right there.

Quest: The Tax Master

Suggested: Lv17

Reward: 1250XP

After progressing through other quests, return to Sais to learn that Harkuf has been taken prisoner. He's being held captive in Fort Nikiou and will be killed if he isn't rescued. Get to the fort and talk to Harkuf, who will tell you that you'll need the key Sefutu has on his person. Kill him and take it to free Harkuf, then escort him out of the fort. He'll go on his way back to Sais once you're done talking with him.

Quest: Workers' Lament

Suggested: Lv18

Reward: 1500XP

A pregnant woman named Nito is overworking herself, so Bayek will step in to help her out. Talk to her workers, or at least the one out in the open, and you'll find out that the other two workers have been trapped in a collapsed tunnel. Bust the first door in the tunnel open and carry the man here out to his brother, then break another door open and reach the last worker. Watch out for snakes, though. Return to Nito to finish the quest.

Location: Camp Achlys

Location: South of the middle viewpoint of the region.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Loot Treasure

The typical camp. It should be easier to sneak up on just about everyone at nighttime. The treasure is in a tent.

Location: Camp Pyrrhos

Location: North of the western viewpoint.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Loot Treasure

There's a lot of grass here for you to use, but there are also a lot of oil jars you can light on fire. There's not much else to say about this place.

Location: Camp Shemu

Location: Down to the south, on the southern coast of Lake Mareotis.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Loot Treasure

Despite being right on the coast of Lake Mareotis, the map displays this location as being here in Sapi-Res Nome. There might even be a few lower-leveled enemies walking around here.

Location: Hippopotamus Lair

Location: On the west coast of the region.

Objectives: Kill Animal

This lair is surprisingly barren. There might only be two hippos here, one being the alpha of course.

Location: Mefkat

Location: To the southwest, in the sand.

Objectives: Loot Treasure (x2)

This place is burnt out and swarming with enemy soldiers, and there's a Ptolemy statue sitting around here for more experience too. One of the treasures is uniquely placed up in a tree, so you'll have to climb it to get to it.

Location: Nikiou Fort

Location: Between the left and middle viewpoints; a large fort that you should easily be able to see on the map.

Objectives: Loot Treasure (x4), Kill Captain (x2), Kill Commander

This fort is massive. You'll very likely have to get into a fight at some point, so the best thing to do is disable braziers and sneak up on as many enemies as possible. One of the tougher enemies is a massive pain to deal with, even when you're ten levels ahead of him. It'd be a good idea to take care of nearly everyone else before dealing with him.

Location: Nikiou Outpost

Location: West of the middle viewpoint.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Loot Treasure

There's a lot of grass at this outpost, so you should be able to whistle everyone over to you for a takedown, including the captain. The treasure is in a tent.

Location: Psenemphaia Hideout

Location: West of the western viewpoint.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Loot Treasure

Just like the location above, there are lots of oil pots and grass patches for you to use. It'll be easy to clear this place out.

Location: Sapi-Res Ruins

Location: North of the middle viewpoint.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

Run into the middle of the ruins, and you should find a large hole in the water that you can dive into. The treasure is down there with a few smaller objects you can loot.

Location: Sap-Meh Warehouse

Location: On the coast, west of Sais.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

There's not much to say about this location other than that the treasure is inside a building at ground level. This place's layout doesn't help with sneaking up on enemies, so you'll probably have to get in a scuffle to grab the treasure.

Location: Temple of Horus

Location: East of Letopolis.

Objectives: Find the nearby hidden Papyrus

As with all papyrus scroll locations, this place is an easy completion. You can find the scroll by some offerings near a statue. The puzzle is called Sea of Sand.

This region is fairly large, giving you a good amount of stuff to do before moving on to somewhere else.

Quest: A Gift from the Gods

Suggested: Lv23

Reward: 1500XP

Upon reaching the starting point for this quest, a meteorite will crash in the distance. Reach the crash site and investigate the tomb, then leave and look for a sundial to the north just outside. Wait until the shadow of the sundial hits the middle pillar just like the ruin shows, and three of the pillars will reveal blue crystals. In order to solver the puzzle, you need to shoot the center pillar first (the one that the shadow just passed over), then the one to the left of it (with the crystal facing south), then the pillar to the left of the tall one that casts the shadow. After hitting this one, hit the center crystal once more, followed by the left pillar for the final shot. When the puzzle is solved, re-enter the tomb.

Inside the tomb, interact with the shrine past the doorway, and you'll see some rather interesting things as part of a crossover with Final Fantasy XV, as if the XV from the sundial puzzle didn't give it away already. The items you get from this quest are scaled to your level, so you can use them immediately.

Quest: A Rebel Alliance

Suggested: Lv24

Reward: 2250XP

A man named Theodoros wants to kill a very dangerous military commander, Derratos. Rescue him from his cage and escort his men to Bakchias in Faiyum. Defeat the soldiers here and talk to Theodoros to go over the next course of action. You'll want to get Derratos's scribe and bring him to the rebels, and you can find him at the Sarapeion just a half kilometer west from here. Simply taking him back to Theodoros will end the quest, but will create another one in Faiyum.

Quest: First Blood

Suggested: Lv23

Reward: 1500XP

Inside the pyramid, Bayek notices a shrine to Rudjek, the man he killed at the very start of the game. Investigate the area and you'll finish this fast quest.

Quest: Rites of Anubis

Suggested: Lv23

Reward:

2250XP

For this quest, you'll be meeting up with an acquaintance of Bayek's, named Nefertari. As you follow her, she'll tell you that Anubis has been upset since Bayek left this place. He'll agree to lighting the flames at each of the three shrines to appease him. Just travel to the three torch locations and light them, then return to Nefetari to start the next quest, When Night Falls.

Quest: When Night Falls

Suggested: Lv23

Reward: 3000XP, Mount

After lighting the torches in Rites of Anubis, Bayek will agree to escort a healer to a hideout filled with injured rebels. Meet up with the healer and ride to the outpost, where you'll be asked to carry some rebels to the back of the place. The healer will have lit the brazier for some reason, alerting the nearby soldiers. Defeat them all and confront the healer to end the quest.

Location: Bent Pyramid of Sneferu

Location: The southern of two pyramids in the middle of the region.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

This place is tied to the Rites of Anubis quest, so you'll want to start that first before coming here. When you get here, enter the pyramid through the north side, defeat some snakes, and climb up to a destructible wall. Smash it and drop a torch on the ground so you can light an arrow on fire and shoot it at the black vase. Once it's destroyed, leave the pyramid and scale the west side. With the vase out of the way, you can move the object here and continue into the pyramid. The treasure for this place will be just past it, as well as the torch for the Rites of Anubis quest. You can also start the First Blood quest in this same room.

Location: Cobra Lair

Location: Next to the second highest viewpoint.

Objectives: Kill Animal

This is a pretty interesting animal lair just because of the fact that cobras can be killed with torches. Slide under a slit in the walls next to the alpha cobra and kill the three inside this lair.

Location: Ekdikesis Outpost

Location: Southwest of the highest viewpoint, past Psammos Hideout.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

This place appears to have been long-abandoned. Nothing will get in your way as you reach the treasure here.

Location: Hugros Hideout

Location: At the eastern border, almost within Memphis.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Loot Treasure

This hideout is a cave with a river running through it. Ledges and grass make it easy to sneak up on everyone, including the captain.

Location: Hyena Lair

Location: South of the city of Nitria.

Objectives: Kill Animal

The typical animal lair. There's a torch here that you need to light for the Rites of Anubis quest, so you should start that before coming here.

Location: Leopard Lair

Location: To the east, on the border of Saqqara Nome and Ineb-Hedjet Nome.

Objectives: Kill Animal

The alpha leopard here is only Lv20, so you should already be ready for it when you get here.

Location: Mryitmw High

Location: West of the lowest viewpoint.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

There's nothing here but the treasure. You might run into some hyenas if you linger around for too long, but that's about it.

Location: Per Our Hideout

Location: South of the second highest viewpoint.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

There are a lot of tough enemies here. It'd be a good idea to try and go in stealthily to take care of as many enemies as possible so you can get to the treasure unharmed.

Location: Psammos Hideout

Location: Southwest of the highest viewpoint.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Loot Treasure

There's some grass here that will let you shoot arrows into almost everyone's heads here, which will leave the cave to the right open for you to run into. The treasure is in there.

Location: Ruined Temple of Mafdet

Location: In the northwest corner of the region.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

Some leopards will give you some trouble here. If you can handle about four of them around Lv22, you should be fine.

Location: Stranded Natron Caravan

Location: Northeast of the city of Nitria.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

This broken-down caravan seems peaceful at first, but you'll be ambushed when you get close. See if you can sneak behind the ambush and ambush them before they do the same to you.

Location: Tomb of Djoser

Location: By the second highest viewpoint.

Objectives: Find the Ancient Tablet

This place is a bit of a maze, but it shouldn't take you more than ten minutes to get through everything this tomb has to offer. There are about four pieces of silica in here as well.

Location: Tomb of Sneferu

Location: The northern of two pyramids in the middle of the region.

Objectives: Find the Ancient Tablet

There are some weight puzzles in this tomb. The first one requires you to put two weights on the first platform you get to, which will allow you to jump from a tall object to the higher platform. From here, you can make your way up the wall to the next puzzle. Just get to the platform with a big vase on it and break it, then put more weights on the opposing lift until you can jump from an unbreakable vase to the original platform. The only thing up here is a piece of Silica, but you need every bit you can get. The real puzzle is in the room to the right. The term "puzzle" is used very loosely here, as you just need to make sure three weights are on the platform just to the right of you when you enter the room. The tablet will be at the top of this last puzzle.

Location: Unfortunate Stash

Location: By the city of Nitria, which is to the west of the northern pyramid in the middle of the region.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

There are some snakes next to this treasure. You can slip past them if you want.

Location: Vulture Lair

Location: Northeast of the city of Nitria.

Objectives: Kill Animal

A standard animal lair. I was fortunate enough to only have the alpha vulture show up here. If that's always supposed to happen, then you should have no trouble killing this thing.

You'll be able to start working on Siwa's quests and locations as soon as you finish the first story quest. There's one Ptolemy statue in the middle of the city, and there are three viewpoints to synchronize with.

Quest: Bayek's Promise

Suggested: Lv05

Reward: 3000XP

This quest starts when you first approach the Amun Stone Circle for the first time. To finish the quest, you need to locate all 12 Stone Circle locations. Each time you get to a Stone Circle, you'll see a flashback of Bayek and his son, providing more backstory on his family life. The Stone Circles are given more detail on every page they're located on, and you'll have to find them all anyway for two related achievements, so you don't need to worry about finding them as fast as possible or anything.

After finding all the stone circles, take the twelve pieces Bayek picked up at each one back to the circle in Siwa. Now that this quest is complete, you'll finally be able to properly find the place underneath the Great Sphinx in Giza.

Quest: Family Reunion

Suggested: Lv02

Reward: 600XP

This quest is started from Hepzefa's informant table, which will be right in front of you after the first story quest. You can also find it on your map if you forgot where it is. Some farmers and a man named Teremun have been taken prisoner here for protesting, and as the medjay of Siwa, it's your job to look after your citizens and take them back.

Upon finding the farmers, you'll find Teremun dead in the cell. His family will want to give him a proper burial, so take him back to his family's farm. To make matters worse, Teremun's family has been killed by soldiers in retaliation to his rebellious actions. Lay him down next to his family to finish the quest.

Quest: Gear Up

Suggested: Lv02

Reward: 500XP

You'll start out with Gear Up after finishing the first story mission. For this simple quest, you need to craft your first breastplate, which you can do by collecting five pieces of soft leather. Call upon Senu and she'll be able to more easily locate this resource nearby. Tag it and run over there, then collect it by whichever means you'd like. The quest ends when you've made the breastplate in your Gear menu.

Quest: The Healer

Suggested: Lv03

Reward: 600XP, Legendary Trinket

Rabiah needs your help by the lakeside. It seems she was the one to found the House of Life to the west, and she's been trying to perform medicinal services on the injured villagers, but soldiers have been constantly preventing her from getting her the medicine she needs. A shipment of the stuff has been sunken, and now lies at the bottom of the lake. Use Senu to locate these three medicines near the base of a pillar in the water, then collect them and bring them back to Rabiah at the House of Life.

The problem doesn't end there, though; it seems the soldiers have had the audacity to throw the sick out of the temple and take the stuff inside for themselves. Take care of all of them and let Rabiah know the temple is safe once again to finish the quest.

Quest: Hideaway

Suggested: Lv03

Reward: 500XP

Fenuku, one of Khemu's old friends, will be calling for his older brother Chenzira outside of a new hyena's den. It'll be up to you to find him inside. Look for a room with two pushable statues and break the pots blocking the area in which they can be pushed. Then just push these things out of the way to get to Chenzira. When you find him, there will be an ancient tablet in the room he's in that will grant you a skill point upon interacting with it. This will also finish the location, so don't forget to read it.

Outside of the cave, you'll find those hyenas that Fenuku was talking about earlier. Kill them so Chenzira can get home safely.

Quest: Prisoners in the Temple

Suggested: Lv04

Reward: 500XP

There are five imprisoned priests dotted around the Temple of Amun. Rescue them all and save them from the clutches of The Heron's men to finish the quest. To start the quest, talk with one of the five men, who will be screaming for help. Since these guys are all over the place, you'll have to take out most of the enemies here in order to get to everyone. The quest will end after all of the priests have been freed.

Quest: Striking the Anvil

Suggested: Lv03

Reward: 500XP

Benipe the blacksmith has had some trouble with the guards around Siwa. After simply seeing him make a sword, they've confiscated his tools and taken them to Camp Shetjeh. Find them and take them back to him, and he'll offer you one of four items. Check them out and pick whichever one suits your fancy.

Quest: Water Rats

Suggested: Lv03

Reward: 600XP

This quest is started from Hepzefa's informant table, which will be right in front of you after the first story quest. You can also find it on your map if you forgot where it is. Some bandits have taken over a very important water resources for farmers, and to bring the water back to the people, you need to kill the bandits. There are a lot of tough enemies in this cave, so be as prepared as possible before taking them on. The quest will end as soon as you defeat the last of the enemies.

Location: Amanai Cave

Location: Directly west of the uppermost viewpoint.

Objectives: Loot Treasure (x3)

This location is tied to the quest Water Rats, so you should try to complete it as you fulfill the quest. You can drop in from above if you're not able to find a normal entrance. It's best to use Senu to locate the treasures before entering the cave so you know where to go.

Location: Amun Stone Circle

Location: Southwest of the city of Siwa, near the border of Siwa and the Great Sand Sea.

Objectives: Align the Stars

This will most likely be the first Stone Circle you interact with. The stars made of the stones in the ground align with a constellation just to the left when you're looking up at the stars.

Location: Camp Shetjeh

Location: Directly west of Siwa's fast travel location, and right next to another viewpoint.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Loot Treasure

Since you'll probably be attempting to complete this location at a very early level, it's a good idea to synch the viewpoint here undetected, and then use Senu to locate the camp's captain, whose level will be outlined in gold. It's also smart to tag as many enemies as you can, so as to prevent yourself from being detected by an enemy you didn't know was around you. The treasure in this camp is inside what can only be assumed to be the captain's tent; look for a very large red tent with banners out front, and you'll know that you've found the right place. As for actually fighting the captain, you might want to try simply sneaking up on him for a takedown, since that should knock him out immediately and satisfy the objective.

Location: Coral Escarpment Camp

Location: Directly north of the city of Siwa.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Loot Treasure

This camp is made of a lot more buildings than Camp Shetjeh, which gives you a few more opportunities to sneak around. The captain here will occasionally stop and sit at his desk, and that's your best opportunity to sneak up on him. The treasure is on the top of a building, next to the warning beacon that the soldiers may use if they want to sound an alarm.

Location: Halma Point

Location: At the northern end of the large lake in the middle of the region.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

There are some ridiculously overpowered enemies here in the early game, and are in fact so overpowered that you don't even get to see what level they're at. If you want to go for the treasure here as soon as you can, it's imperative that you do so very sneakily, or even at night, when the enemies here are asleep.

Location: Home

Location: Northwest of the city of Siwa and north of Camp Shetjeh.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

Bayek's house. You'll have to punch or strike the thin doors open to get inside and reach the treasure.

Location: House of Life

Location: A bit southeast of the city of Siwa.

Objectives: Find the nearby hidden Papyrus

There isn't much of interest here save for a few bundles of arrows and the Papyrus scroll you're after. It'll be on a table in a reddish tent.

Location: Hyena Lair

Location: On the northeast end of the large lake in the middle of the region.

Objectives: Kill Animal

Once a soldier's fort, this area is now infested with hyenas. The alpha hyena here should be around Lv03, and taking it down should be a bit easier if you manage to shoot an arrow or two in it before it comes after you.

Location: Ibex Lair

Location: A bit high up on the map, north of the lake and the hyena lair, and east of the higher of the three viewpoints.

Objectives: Kill Animal

The ibex lair is a large pond, populated with many birds, but more importantly, the alpha ibex. Unlike most other animals with lairs, the ibex are not normally hostile to you, so it's best to shoot an arrow into the alpha's head from afar.

Location: Lysandros' Oracle Offerings

Location: At the southern edge of the large lake in the middle of the region.

Objectives: Loot Treasure (x3)

The three treasures here are all stored in a cave of sorts, made with submerged ruins. They're all fairly close to each other, so use your Animus Pulse to find them more easily.

Location: Mountain of the Dead Tomb

Location: Northwest of the city of Siwa, east of the smaller of two lakes of the region.

Objectives: Find the Ancient Tablet

This location is related to the Hideaway quest, so you'll likely finish this location as you complete said quest. The tablet in here will give you a skill point upon reading it.

Location: Temple of Amun

Location: Northeast of the city of Siwa.

Objectives: Loot Treasure (x3)

The temple is related to the Family Reunion quest, so you should go about finding the treasures after you've started the quest. As usual, Send is really useful at finding these treasures, so make sure to use her before heading inside. The Heron is inside temple too, so if you're around Lv05, you should be able to take him on, but if not, you should come back here when you are.

Location: Vulture Lair

Location: South of the lake in the middle of the region, on the road from where you first started the game.

Objectives: Kill Animal

This place is infested with vultures, but there's one in particular that you need to kill. You can always try using an arrow from a distance to make it an easy victory, but you have not truly lived until you've decked a vulture straight in the beak with your bare hands.

The Theban Necropolis is a large place spanning almost a quarter of the standard DLC map.

Quest: Burnt Offerings

Suggested: Lv46

Reward: 5000XP

A mourning woman named Raia is upset that the tomb here was desecrated by thieves. Investigate the tomb to find a hammer that belongs to the blacksmith, who coincidentally just got arrested. Travel to the Desecraters' Camp to free him, who will tell you that the rest of his equipment (and Ranofer's body) is up in the hands of the thieves in the mountains near here, at the Pillagers' Hideout. The mummy won't be able to make it back, but at least his amulet can be returned. Bring it back to Raia to finish the quest.

Quest: Drowned Tools

Suggested: Lv51

Reward: 8000XP

At the southern tip of the region, you'll find a farmer who cannot pay his taxes due to the loss of his tools asks for your help in finding them. Just find them nearby and you'll be done with this quest.

Quest: Idol Hands

Suggested: Lv46

Reward: 7000XP

A scared priest of Amun has climbed all the way up to the top of a statue. Kill the nearby crocodiles and talk to him to learn more about his friend that was taken by bandits. Talk to him and convince him to join his friend, then look for the statue in a cave and bring it all the way up to the top of the mountain. The priests have one more problem, though: some lions have infested the shrine. Kill them to end the quest.

Location: Colossi of Memnon

Location: North of the two southern viewpoints, on the coast.

Objectives: Kill Animal

This is just a crocodile lair using a different name as a disguise. You should start the quest near here first, since you'll be tasked with clearing the place out anyway.

Location: House of Millions of Years of Usermaatra-Setepenra

Location: East of Set-Ma'at.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Kill Commander, Loot Treasure (x2)

What a name. This set of ruins has been taken over by lots of bandits. Thanks to the abundance of walls and grass, killing anyone here is easy.

Location: Lost Quarry Hideout

Location: At the southern border with the Waset Desert.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

There are barely any enemies here. Getting the treasure is easy as heck.

Location: Nile Outpost

Location: Next to the southern viewpoint.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Loot Treasure

A fairly large place for an outpost classified as small. Despite this, you won't find it hard to sneak around here. Jumping from the viewpoint gives you the perfect position to set a trap on the brazier, so you may as well take advantage of that.

Location: Nile Wharf

Location: Next to the southeast viewpoint.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Loot Treasure

Wait at the viewpoint for someone on the docks to be vulnerable so you can sneak up on them. If you're lucky, it'll be the captain, leaving his tent with the treasure freely exposed. If not, then the captain will probably be in his tent, still making things easy by only having to go to one place.

Location: Pilgrims' Road

Location: Northwest of the southern viewpoint.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

A cart taken over by hyenas is here. Hyenas aren't hard to fight, though, so that shouldn't be a problem for you.

Location: Set-Ma'at

Location: Near the northern viewpoint.

Objectives: ---

This place is a village that you can fast travel to. It's important because once you've finished the quest The Lady of Grace for the main story, you'll be able to buy a horse here called Eternal Maw for 5000 gold. Doing so will unlock an achievement.

• Dark Horse

  Acquire Eternal Maw for use outside the Afterlifes (The Curse of the Pharaohs)

  
  1 guide

Location: Shrine of Amun

Location: At the top of the mountain.

Objectives: Find a place to rest

Start the quest Idol Hands before you come here to save yourself the trouble of coming here again. The resting spot is near the shrine itself, a bit to the south.

Location: Temple of Hatshepsut

Location: North of the northern viewpoint.

Objectives: Kill Captain (x2), Kill Commander, Loot Treasure (x4)

You'll be coming here fairly early into the DLC's story, and this would be the perfect time to clear this place out. You should definitely consider setting a trap on the brazier at the top of the temple. This place isn't too bad assuming you've tagged most of the enemies.

Location: Temple of Hatshepsut Wharf

Location: At the northeast corner of the region.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

A few soldiers here are protecting a single treasure in a tent near the water. This place shouldn't take you long to complete.

Location: Valley of the Nobles

Location: West of the southern viewpoint.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

This is a small pitstop on the way up the mountain that was taken over by bandits. There are only about four of them here.

Location: Vulture Lair

Location: North of the northern viewpoint.

Objectives: Kill Animal

One of the easiest types of animal lairs. You shouldn't find much trouble in this.

Location: West Nile Guard Post

Location: North of the southern viewpoint.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

There are only a few soldiers here. It's easy to take them all down.

Location: Workers' Necropolis

Location: Northwest of Set-Ma'at.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

You'll be coming here during the story, so that'd be a good time to get this place cleared. The treasure is at a shrine above ground.

Thebes is pretty small, so if you're planning on doing everything in the region you'll be done fairly quickly.

Quest: Master of the Secret Things

Suggested: Lv47

Reward: 5000XP

A woman who's meant to understand dreams cannot understand one of her own. The interpreter above her has been taken to Luxor, a large stronghold nearby. Rescue him from his imprisonment and talk to him. He'll express his worries about Miane, as her brother stole his scrolls. Investigate the farm Miane and her brother were raised on to learn that her brother was killed, and the dream texts were taken by bandits. Hunt down said bandits, take the scrolls back, and return them to the dream interpreters to end the quest.

Quest: The Theban Triad

Suggested: Lv44

Reward: 7500XP

A priestess at the Temple of Karnak says that some have stolen from the temple. Investigate the scene and you'll find the injured thief, who will mention a robed man at the market. Track down the robed man and kill him to learn the general locations of three stolen statues. Retrieve all of them and bring them back to the priestess to end the quest.

Location: Eastern Gate Guard Post

Location: East of the northern viewpoint.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

This outpost is so loosely guarded that you can grab the treasure without being seen by anyone if you're given the right opportunity.

Location: Luxor

Location: West of the southern viewpoint.

Objectives: Kill Captain (x2), Kill Commander, Loot Treasure (x4)

Save yourself the trouble of coming here twice and start the quest Master of the Secret Things before coming here. One of the treasures is underground in a treasure room to the south. Coming here at night makes things a lot easier, as many enemies will go to sleep and will become vulnerable to assassination.

Location: Seized Warehouse

Location: In the middle of Thebes.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

This small building is guarded by only three soldiers. Take out whichever ones get in your way of getting the treasure in the corner.

Location: Ship Graveyard

Location: In the water, west of the Temple of Karnak.

Objectives: Loot Treasure (x2)

An underwater location, easy to complete.

Location: Southern Guard Post

Location: Near the southern border.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

A guard post with about four soldiers inside. Pretty easy to complete.

Location: Temple of Karnak

Location: At the northern border of the region.

Objectives: Loot Treasure (x3)

Two of the treasures here are easy to get, but one is underground. To get to this one, you need to go down the stairs past where the high priestess will be during the early story.

Location: Theban Archive

Location: At the northern viewpoint.

Objectives: Loot Treasure (x2)

You'll come here during the story. The treasures aren't too out of the way.

Location: Theban Dock Guard Post

Location: On the coast.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

The treasure is in a loosely-guarded building. It won't take long to get it.

Location: Thebes Garrison

Location: West of the northern viewpoint, on the coast.

Objectives; Kill Captain, Loot Treasure

If the captain is at his desk, you should be able to whistle and get him over to the grass.

Location: Tychon's Villa

Location: Near the southern viewpoint.

Objectives: Loot Treasure (x2)

You'll be coming here during the story. Both treasures are inside the villa.

Thebes Nome may appear much larger than Thebes itself, but there's actually very little of note in the region.

Quest: Losers Weepers

Suggested: Lv50

Reward:

A performer has lost his lyre in the water. Find it in the Sunken Merchant Ships in Yebu Nome and return it to him, ending this really quick quest.

Location: Bandit Hut

Location: North of the southern viewpoint.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

The treasure is in the hut, of course. You might be able to get to it without being seen if you come here at night.

Location: Bone Picker Hideout

Location: North of the southern viewpoint.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Loot Treasure

You'll be coming here for the main story. There might be a fair amount of enemies here, but the grass at the hideout makes killing them super easy.

Location: Broken Dock

Location: Next to the Cursed Farm.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

The treasure is in the water. Watch out for hippos.

Location: Crocodile Lair

Location: Northwest of the Broken Dock.

Objectives: Kill Animal

The standard animal lair. This should be pretty straight-forward by now.

Location: Cursed Farm

Location: Northwest of the southern viewpoint.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

You'll be coming here for the main story. The treasure is unguarded in an abandoned house.

Location: Hippopotamus Lair

Location: On the island west of the southern viewpoint.

Objectives: Kill Animal

The standard animal lair. Kill the alpha hippo as per usual.

Location: Theban Guard Post

Location: West of the southern viewpoint.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

There are only a few soldiers here. Getting to the treasure is even easier since you can slide under the tent.

Location: Vultures' Camp

Location: On the island near the border shared with Theban Necropolis

Objectives: Loot Treasure

This place isn't a vulture lair, but instead the lair of a few bandits that call themselves after the birds. The treasure is sitting on a table.

Location: Wrecked Felucca

Location: Next to the Hippopotamus Lair.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

The treasure here is underwater with the rest of the sunken ship.

Uab Nome is a fairly large region, but most of its locations are located on the coast. There's only one viewpoint, so getting around can be a bit of a hassle.

Quest: Bad Faith

Suggested: Lv29

Reward: 3000XP, Legendary Scepter

After finishing Sobek's Tears and The Jaws of Sobek, return to Padiaset so you can start removing the problem behind Krokodilopolis' Temple of Sobek, otherwise known as Sehetep. Since this quest can be started at the end of either of the previously mentioned quests, this one is marked on both this page and the page for Faiyum Oasis.

Padiaset will have survived an attack caused by Sehetep, and will tell you where the man is probably in hiding. Travel to the Temple of Sobek and kill him, then report it to Padiaset to finish the quest.

Quest: Seven Farmers

Suggested: Lv30

Reward: 3750XP, Rare Predator Bow

A small group of farmers is being attacked by bandits constantly. Bayek will offer his assistance in the matter. Follow the girl named Rai towards the viewpoint, then jump back down to her fellow farmers. Bayek will suggest using traps; set them up if you want, but you don't have to. You might want to look into it if you're underleveled though.

Kill them when they attack, and then get some information about their leader to the southeast. Once you find some paper on him, track him down to the Tomb of Smenkhkare in Haueris Nome. If you've already been here, then it should be easy to backtrack towards the ancient tablet. If not, then you should know that the lift puzzle requires you to stand on them until they sink; when they do, quickly climb further into the room using the other lift, which will start to sink since you're not not on the opposing one anymore. You'll have to be quick about it. When you kill the leader, you'll get the pieces necessary to fix Rai's bow and will earn an achievement for finishing this specific quest.

• Seven Farmers

  Complete Side Quest "Seven Farmers".

  
  

Location: Arsinoites Quarry Hideout

Location: East of the Tomb of the Cynic and directly south of Krokodilopolis, which is in Faiyum Oasis.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Kill Commander, Loot Treasure (x2)

Take your time to scope out the area before heading in. It might be a good idea to take care of the lower half of the quarry first, since most of your objectives are down there anyway and whoever is above you probably won't be disturbed by whatever you do.

Location: Camp of Qetesh & Resheph

Location: At the southern border of the region.

Objectives: Kill Elephant

There are actually two elephants here. That's the catch this time. Although it seems pretty daunting, the elephants tend to stay away from each other since they're so big. Focus on one of them and keep going until it's dead, then hone in on the other until it dies. You'll only get one skill point for killing two elephants, which I think is a slimy tradeoff for your efforts. On the bright side, you do get an achievement for finishing this specific location.

• The Harder They Fall

  Defeat the war elephants Qetesh & Resheph.

  
  

Location: Dioryx Megale Wharf

Location: Northwest of the viewpoint, on the coast.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Loot Treasure

For an easy completion, sneak underneath the backside of the captain's tent and you'll be done with the wharf in no time.

Location: Hippopotamus Lair

Location: At the northwest tip of the region.

Objectives: Kill Animal

The usual animal lair. Firing at the hippos from above seems to work pretty well here.

Location: Hippopotamus Lair

Location: North of the viewpoint.

Objectives: Kill Animal

Another hippo lair. If you don't need any more hard leather, just kill it and call your mount to get out of there before the other hippos chase you down.

Location: Horus Stone Circle

Location: Next to the viewpoint.

Objectives: Align the Stars

A stone circle, easy to complete.

Location: Hyena Lair

Location: West of the viewpoint.

Objectives: Kill Animal

Your typical animal lair. You should know how these work by now.

Location: Leopard Lair

Location: East of The Scales Stone Circle and south of the tip of Haueris Nome.

Objectives: Kill Animal

Your typical animal lair. You should know how these work by now.

Location: Overwatch Tower

Location: At the northwest tip of the region.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

A single watchtower, protected by only two enemies. Can't be too hard to kill just two guys, right?

Location: Ravaged Outpost

Location: To the west, just a few hundred meters off the coast. It'd be the southwest corner of the region if it weren't for all the useless desert to the south.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

The only foes here are some hyenas that, if you're fortunate enough, you haven't had to fight for a long time. They're sitting with the treasure at the top of the outpost.

Location: Senehem Depths

Location: Southeast of the viewpoint.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

This place is related to the Seven Farmers quest, which is directly related to an achievement. You may as well get up to the point where you have to come here first.

Location: The Scales Stone Circle

Location: East of Senehem Depths

Objectives: Align the Stars

A stone circle, easy to complete.

Location: Tomb of the Cynic

Location: East of the Ravaged Outpost.

Objectives: Find the Ancient Tablet

I wouldn't call this much of a tomb, more of a lion's den with an ancient tablet at the end. But maybe that's why the tomb has its name.

Location: Trireme Stranding Camp

Location: On the west coast of the region.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Loot Treasure

This place is related to The Jaws of Sobek quest, from Faiyum Oasis. It's not too bad, just slide under the captain's tent and kill him when he finally stands up.

The Valley of the Kings is small and many of its locations coincide with other quests, so clearing the entire region will be easy. The four golden ? are tombs that lead to various underworlds, so there aren't technically any objectives for them.

Location: Desecraters' Camp

Location: The middle ? in a cluster of golden ones.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Loot Treasure

You visit this place as a part of the quest Burnt Offerings. The treasure is in an underground cave leading to another tomb.

Location: Pillagers' Hideout

Location: South of the Desecraters' Camp.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Loot Treasure

After visiting the Desecraters' Camp as part of the Burnt Offerings quest, you'll come here to take back what belongs to the villagers. It'll play out just the same as that place did, meaning that it'll be a quick completion.

Location: Tomb Robbers' Hideout

Location: To the northeast of the viewpoint.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

There are a handful of bandits here, as you'd expect. They're not too hard to fight all at once.

Location: Unknown Tomb

Location: Southwest of the viewpoint.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

The only enemies you'll find here are outside the tomb, so this won't take long either.

The Waset Desert is small, thankfully, because there's so much more to do in the rest of the DLC.

Location: Buried Temple Hideout

Location: West of the viewpoint.

Objectives: Loot Treasure (x2)

This hideout is under the sand. The enemies here are easy to sneak up on due to the abundance of walls inside.

Location: Cobra Oasis

Location: Southwest of the viewpoint.

Objectives: Kill Animal

One of the easiest animal lairs in the game. Just shoot snakes.

Location: Disputed Well

Location: West of the viewpoint.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

There are only four bandits at this camp. Sneaking up on them is not only easy, but very effective due to their low numbers.

Location: Leopard Lair

Location: Near the viewpoint.

Objectives: Kill Animal

Just kill the alpha leopard, like you do with any other animal lair.

Location: Spring of Serqet

Location: Northwest of the viewpoint, close to the Lost Quarry Hideout in the Theban Necropolis.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Loot Treasure

This is one of the locations you need to complete for the Sting in the Tale achievement. Everyone here is at a higher level than that you could ever reach, so it's important to stay as stealthy as possible at all levels. The captain should be at Lv58, so you'll really want to get a sneak attack on him. A berserk poison would work very well too.

Location: Whispering Hollows Camp

Location: South of the viewpoint.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Loot Treasure

Try to sneak up to the trapped civilians here. Freeing them will create a big enough distraction to leave the entire upper half of the camp free. If the captain remains up top, then killing him becomes incredibly easy.

There's nothing here, but you can still use this place for grinding for the raining bugs illusion. You can do that in any other desert region, though, so there's not really any drive to do it here.

The White Desert Oasis has nothing of note except for eight locations and a single viewpoint.

Location: Desert Waterfalls Hideout

Location: In the middle of the two oases in the region.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Kill Commander, Loot Treasure (x2)

You'll have to come here during a quest started in Faiyum called Demons in the Desert. At night, it's incredibly easy to sneak up on most enemies here. Five of them at most will be asleep, making for very quick takedowns.

Location: Desheret Dewu

Location: At the northwest corner of the region.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

Just climb the rocks to get to the treasure at the top of the structure.

Location: Djbt Jm Hideout

Location: At the southwest corner of the region.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Loot Treasure

This hideout is a very wide area that occasionally gets hit by sandstorms. Although there are lots of watchtowers, that won't stop you from coming around the back side of the hideout undetected if you wish to do so.

Location: Hideout of Herwennefer

Location: West of the viewpoint.

Objectives: Kill Elephant

If you've fought other elephants, this one is going to be pretty similar to them. The difference here is that the rider atop this elephant shoots poison gas instead of fire bombs or other projectiles. You can't shake off poison like you can fire, so you'll just have to wait the poison out. Because of this, it is even more vital that you don't lose any health bars during the fight, or else they won't regenerate back.

Location: Larder Station Hideout

Location: On the coast of the southern oasis.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Loot Treasure

You'll come here after you visit Desert Waterfalls Hideout during Faiyum's Demons in the Desert quest. There are quite a few enemies here, so you might want to just come here as a part of that quest for more firepower on your side. It's not overly complicated, though.

Location: The Great Twins Stone Circle

Location: In the northern oasis.

Objectives: Align the Stars

A stone circle. An easy completion.

Location: White Desert Sobek Ruins

Location: East of the viewpoint.

Objectives: Loot Treasure (x3)

You visit this place as part of the quest Fires of Dionysias in Faiyum; if you want to do both at once, you should start that quest first. This is a very loosely-guarded area anyways, so it shouldn't pose too much trouble.

Location: Whymhty Vault

Location: On the western border of the region.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

To get to the treasure, you'll need to climb the main structure here and drop down a hole to get to the treasure room. There are three snakes inside, so watch out for them.

Yebu Nome is the largest region, so it is naturally going to be one of the most time-consuming to complete.

Quest: Crocodile Tears

Suggested: Lv48

Reward: 6000XP

Some worshippers claim that Sobek himself is fighting anyone who kills his crocodiles. Upon finding the site Sobek was last seen at, you'll see that the man here is not Sobek at all. He was just trying to fight off some poachers at the Hunter's Dock to the south. After killing the captain, talk to the hunter to learn that there's somehow a second captain, or the original has cheated death. Kill him at the Swenett Outpost to truly end the quest and learn how this trick was performed.

Quest: Fish Out Of Water

Suggested: Lv51

Reward: 7000XP

A merchant at the Moon Curser Village was robbed by soldiers after having been accused of ripping a fisherman's nets. When you arrive at the spot he was robbed, you'll be accused of the same thing. Kill his soldiers and he'll tell you that his cat was kidnapped, and that's why he's working with them. The merchant was on his way to talk to the steward about it, who was the one behind this entire scheme. Run over to the Papyrus Estate and find the merchant dead, who was killed as a warning to Bayek. Kill the steward at the Ship Construction Yard to end the quest.

Quest: Laid to Rest

Suggested: Lv51

Reward: 5000XP

After finishing Fish Out Of Water, simply travel to Aaru and give the merchant his ring back.

Quest: National Treasures

Suggested: Lv49

Reward: 6000XP, Legendary Dual Sword

Free a man from the Swenett Outpost and help him find a papyrus scroll necessary for finding the treasure he's after. After finding a bandit's horse, you'll get the papyrus back. Bring it back to the man southeast of Swenett and travel with him through the Old Kingdom Excavation Site to finish the quest.

Quest: Unfair Trade

Suggested: Lv52

Reward: 7000XP, Legendary Scepter

A desecrated mummy of a child has been found, and Bayek wants to kill the man responsible. He's holed up in the massive fortress Yebu, the giant one on its own island in the water. Killing him finishes the quest.

Location: Aladjata Hideout

Location: Southeast of the viewpoint in the Waset Desert.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Loot Treasure

There's barely anyone here. Getting things done is really easy.

Location: Crocodile Lair

Location: At the southern end of the region, in the cluster of islands. East of Moon Curser Village.

Objectives: Kill Animal

A basic animal lair, easy to complete.

Location: Fishing Village

Location: At the southern end of the region, in the cluster of islands. Near a main road.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

The treasure here is hidden underneath the docks.

Location: South of Swenett.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Loot Treasure

This farm has tall grass all over the place thanks to the abundance of water. You should be able to kill most people from a safe distance or by using the grass.

Location: House of the Blue Lotus

Location: Northwest of the western viewpoint.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

This treasure is in a straw house with a straw door that you need to break apart.

Location: Hunter's Dock

Location: Near the northern viewpoint.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

This treasure is guarded by about four or so enemies. It's not hard to get to.

Location: Hyena Lair

Location: East of the southern viewpoint.

Objectives: Kill Animal

A standard animal lair, easy to complete.

Location: Marshlands Hideout

Location: At the southern end of the region, in the cluster of islands. South of the Fishing Village.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

There are only about four bandits here. Getting behind them all is incredibly easy, since they're often not looking at one another.

Location: Moon Curser Village

Location: Southeast of the western viewpoint.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

The treasure is in a tent with a straw door that you have to smash.

Location: Necropolis of the Nobles

Location: West of the northern viewpoint, across the water.

Objectives: Loot Treasure (x3)

This burial tomb sprawls out a bit, but it's not too hard to move around in. It won't take too long to get all three treasures.

Location: Necropolis of the Nobles Hideout

Location: North of the Necropolis of the Nobles.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

Despite being smaller, this hideout has just about as many bandits as the necropolis does itself.

Location: Nut's Cavern Hideout

Location: Northeast of the southern viewpoint.

Objectives: Loot Treasure (x2)

This small hideout has only about four bandits in it. You don't have a lot of options for sneaking here.

Location: Old Kingdom Excavation Site

Location: Southeast of Swenett.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Loot Treasure

You'll be coming here for the National Treasures quest. It's pretty small and has several piles of grass, so you shouldn't find this place difficult to clear.

Location: Papyrus Estate

Location: East of the western viewpoint.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

You'll come here for the quest Fish Out Of Water. The treasure is in a small house protected by soldiers.

Location: Ship Construction Yard

Location: Northeast of the southern viewpoint.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Loot Treasure

You'll be coming here for the quest Fish Out Of Water. This place has lots of grass, making killing enemies a breeze.

Location: Sunken Merchant Ships

Location: West of the northeastern viewpoint.

Objectives: Loot Treasure (x2)

You'll be coming here for the quest Losers Weepers. All you have to do here is find two underwater treasures.

Location: Swenett Barracks

Location: At the village of Swenett.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Loot Treasure

The barracks have lots of upper walls. Using these to hide will make your trip here a quick one.

Location: Swenett Guard Post

Location: North of the southern viewpoint.

Objectives: Loot Treasure

There aren't many enemies here. The grass nearby will help you sneak up on the soldiers without being detected.

Location: Swenett Outpost

Location: East of the northern viewpoint.

Objectives: Kill Captain, Kill Commander, Loot Treasure (x2)

A large place with lots of grass; use it to lure unsuspecting soldiers to their deaths.

Location: Yebu

Location: The massive fortress on its very own island in the middle of the water.

Objectives: Kill Captain (x2), Kill Commander, Loot Treasure (x4)

Scope the place out thoroughly with Senu and go about killing everyone however you like. There's lots of grass here, and the walls only make things even better for you.

There are 25 Papyrus Puzzles located all throughout Egypt. You need to first find the scroll the puzzle is written on, and then find its location to complete it. You only need to complete one puzzle for an achievement, but with a proper guide on how to finish all of them, it shouldn't be too out of your way to try and finish them all. The locations of Bayek on the map pictures are where you'll want to go, not where the cursor is.

A Long Drink

The scroll for this puzzle is located at the House of Life in Siwa. The solution is the big circle of water just east of the city of Siwa, and just west of the large lake in the middle of the region. Simply dive in the water and loot the item at the bottom to finish the puzzle.

Burning Bush

This scroll is in Wabet, near Memphis' northern border. The solution is at the southern end of the sand bank on the other side of the Nile, near the border between Ineb-Hedjet Nome and Memphis. Look for a big palm tree. Stick around to watch the bush after you collect your prize.

Dead End

Kanopos Nome's Zephyros Stables has this puzzle. The answer is in the outskirts of Letopolis, which is in Sapi-Res Nome. Look for an irrigation ditch to find it.

Dead or Alive

The Apollonion of Cyrene in Kyrenaika holds this scroll. The treasure is at the small body of water inside the Roman Camp of Surus (an elephant camp) in the Green Mountains. You'll have to either grab the treasure once the elephant is dead, or rush the treasure at a low level before coming back to kill the beast later.

Deafening Silence

This scroll is at Iseion, north of the city of Alexandria. The solution is close by, and is on the otherwise fruitless island in the water south of Alexandria's northernmost viewpoint.

Divided Valley

This puzzle is in the Great Library of Alexandria on a small table. Down to the southeast in Sap-Meh Nome, there's a crocodile lair to the southwest of the northeast viewpoint, and you'll find the solution by a tree here.

Fallen Friend

Get this scroll in the Temple of Ptah in Memphis, then dive into the water to the east and look for a sunken ship. The treasure is with a broken statue.

Fertile Lands

This scroll is inside Hypostyle Hall, in the Lake Mareotis region. You can find the solution at a date farm directly west of the region's vulture lair. As the puzzle states, look near a completely closed-off stone wall, shaped like a rectangle. Senu can help you find it very easily. The prize is inside a seed bag.

Forsaken City

This scroll is in Asklepieion, near Balagrae in the Green Mountains. Fast travel to Paraitonion's only viewpoint and head southwest to Keno, then look to the western hills for a lone structure.

In Plain Sight

This scroll is in the Palace of Apries, in Memphis. The solution is in Faiyum Oasis, on the island as far southeast from Krokodilopolis as possible, in a pool of white dye.

Just Laws

This scroll is in the House of Iwn in Faiyum Oasis. As the puzzle dictates, the solution is in Atef-Pehu Nome. Look near a camp near a small river for a smoking chimney; the treasure is at the top of it.

Nature's Way

After finding the scroll in Alexandria's Great Synagogue, head to the large island north of Kanopos Nome's southern viewpoint. The treasure is at the base of a palm tree next to a big pile of hay.

Ray of Hope

Alexandria's Tomb of Alexander the Great has this scroll. The treasure is in the Qatar Depression, which has no easy method of getting around since there are no viewpoints nearby. It'll be at the base of a small tree leading up to the Aquifer Oasis.

Royal Flora

Galenos' House in Nathos, which is in southern Herakleion Nome, holds this scroll. East of there is Neith Cradle Bandit Camp, and south of the camp is a very large tree. Look around the base of that tree for the treasure.

Sea of Sand

This scroll is in the Temple of Horus in Sapi-Res Nome. The solution is in Iment Nome, but it's fortunately pretty close to the viewpoint. You can still get the treasure without having to wait for the shadows to line up correctly, but it might take a while if you're not sure in what general area to look for.

Sobek's Rage

A puzzle with a name like this is naturally found at the Temple of Sobek in Krokodilopolis. Fast travel to the top of the pyramid in Haueris Nome, then go south to find the remains of a similar temple.

Stone Fungus

This scroll is at the Eastern Cemetery Mastaba, east of Giza's viewpoint. West of the pyramid in the middle of the region are two stone structures that look kind of like mushrooms, hence the name of the puzzle. Climb the thin mushroom to find the treasure. You should be able to climb straight up the side of it.

The Blasphemer

You can find this scroll at the Valley Market in southern Faiyum. In Haueris Nome, northeast of the pyramid viewpoint, there are lots of small pyramid-like burial tombs scattered about. One of them is all by itself on its own ledge, and this is where you'll find this treasure.

The Leaning Tower

The Sarapeion of Karanis in the city of Karanis in Faiyum holds this scroll. Fast travel to Dionysias in the southern end of the region and travel up the road towards the western viewpoint until you find a leaning tower (of course) and look around the base of it.

The Stone Gaze

This scroll is in Sarapeion in Alexandria. The solution is on the large island at the southern end of Lake Mareotis, by a short broken pillar.

Thoth's Secret

This puzzle has a typo when you check it in your menu. You can tell because you find it in the Temple of Thoth in Haueris Nome. In Uab Nome, get to the Leopard Lair at the east side of the region and look for a hole in the ground on the area shown in the map. It should be directly underneath a tree branch sticking out of the top of the cliffs.

Twin Despair

This scroll is at the Temple of Khonsou, in the city of Herakleion. The treasure is by a tree north of Yw Huts, by a destroyed brick building.

Underground Currents

Look for the Tomb of Battos in Cyrene for this puzzle. Fast travel to the northern viewpoint in the Green Mountains once you have it, then dive into the water below and swim to the west side. Climb a waterfall a ways west of here to get to the treasure.

Undue Haste

Return to Cyrenaika to ge the scroll from the Temple of Zeus, then fast travel to the top of the lighthouse viewpoint at the northern end of the region. The loot is on the shoreline of the lighthouse.

Wet Work

Look for the Oracle of Apollo in the Green Mountains for this scroll, then follow the aqueduct in the region west into a cave of water. Dive into the water and look for some pots in a small cave to find the goods.

• Elementary, My Dear Bayek

  Solve a papyrus mystery.

  
  

The Hidden Ones DLC adds four new papyrus puzzles to the game, none of which are mandatory, of course. The puzzles and their solutions are all found in the DLC areas. The locations of Bayek on the map pictures are where you'll want to go, not where the cursor is.

Good Things Come...

This scroll is in the Temple of Thoth at Arsinoe Nome's viewpoint. The solution is past the sundial at the top of the region and in shallow water. Look for colorful rocks on the beach.

Lost Cause

You can find this scroll at Shur Quarry, west of the eastern viewpoint in Madiama Nome. The solution isn't far from there, in the water very close to the viewpoint.

Stealthy Shrub

This puzzle is in Paratiritirio, at Klysma Nome's southern border. The solution is at the end of an unnecessary wall of the Walls-of-the-Ruler Citadel, on a high ledge by two shrubs.

Tool of Apis

The unfinished Temple of Ba'al's large wooden scaffold has this scroll up near the top. The solution is at the small harbor directly southwest of Arsinoe on the map, between four wooden poles sticking out of the water.

Myths of the Pharaohs are unlocked by reading all four stelae of an afterlife region. Finding the treasures is often very easy, and is made easier with maps on where the treasures are. There's no need for a map on the stelae since you'll want to look around the entirety of those regions anyways.

Treasure of Akhenaten

The Aten's treasure is at the Chambers of Reflection, in the northern building of the three that make up the location. In the northeast corner of this building is a small slit that you can crawl through to get to the treasure.

Treasure of Nefertiti

The treasure in Aaru is the easiest to reach. Just head to the viewpoint and follow the tower's shadow west to find the treasure at the end of it.

Treasure of Ramesses

Travel to the viewpoint in Heb Sed and run to the east side of the structure it's on. You'll want to follow footprints in the sand that lead to the treasure. Watch out for snakes, though, because there are a few of them past the slit in the wall here.

Treasure of Tutankhamun

Look for the area in the Duat noted in the map picture below and head to the slit in the walls leading to a cave. This cave leads to an easy-to-navigate tunnel that ends with the treasure you're looking for.

There are several miscellaneous achievements that aren't exactly tied to skills. They're all pretty straight-forward in terms of how to unlock them, and you shouldn't be spending too much time on them if you know what you're doing.

When you have 100 trinkets (animal goods are completely different), go to any vendor and sell everything at once using the button prompt near the bottom of your screen. If you'd like to be safe, go and sell all your animal goods first and count up all your trinkets in your inventory after you back out of the selling menu. If you do miss this or it doesn't pop for whatever reason, you can do this in New Game Plus. When you start NGP, you'll not only retain your level and perks, but you'll also keep any trinkets you have on you before you start it, so it won't be too bad of a grind if you're not as fortunate your first time around.

• Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

  Sell 100 trinkets at once.

  
  1 guide

One of the easier miscellaneous achievements is obtained by riding each type of rideable vehicle at least once. These include the camel, the horse, the horse cart, the ox cart, the chariot, the canoe, and the sailboat. You start off with a camel, and horses are easy to find. Chariots can be earned and ridden in the Hippodrome, or you can purchase one with the Chariot Owner perk in the Seer skill tree. Horse carts are easy to find as well, since most caravans drive them, but ox carts are a bit more rare. There's always one for you to drive in the New Kid in Town quest in Letopolis, which is at the southern end of Sapi-Res Nome.

Canoes are generally in the rivers of Egypt, and are common in Kanopos Nome. Sailboats are just about everywhere else, and you'll first come across them in Lake Mareotis.

• Rider's Licence

  Use all types of vehicle at least once.

  
  

Another easy achievement is for destroying 100 destructible objects, like pots and other things. Since you're probably not going to hit many of these you might actually have to boost this out.

• Smash!

  Destroy 100 breakable objects.

  
  

One achievement is based purely on luck, and is awarded for seeing bugs rain from the sky during a hallucination in the desert. For this, people usually run around in the more desert-y regions until it happens. It'll look like this.

• Overheating

  Witness raining bugs in the desert.

  
  

Two more achievements are related to using Senu and your own movement. By using Senu for at least half an hour, you'll get Free as a Bird (a half hour passes by quickly), and for swimming, running and riding for specific distances you'll earn Triathlete. The latter should come naturally as you complete the game. Unfortunately, war chariots won't count towards your distance, so you'll have to use a camel or horse. On the bright side, the riding requirement is the easiest to grind since you can set a destination and have your mount go there automatically.

• Free as a Bird

  Use the eagle for a total of 30 minutes.

  
  

• Triathlete

  Swim for 1500m, ride for 40km and run for 10km.

  
  

The next pair is fairly related. One requires you to feed a corpse to a predator; just take any dead body and bring it to a predator den, preferably on horseback. One such predator is the hippo, which you need to run from combat three times. Hippos are surprisingly fast, but this achievement should come naturally anyway. You can run from the same hippo three times if you want, but you'll honestly get this one without trying.

• Circle of Life

  Feed a predator with a corpse.

  
  1 guide

• Run For Your Life!

The rarest miscellaneous achievement is for killing 30 enemies using oil jars shot with fire arrows. The best way to get this done, if you're not finding any soldiers conveniently standing next to oil jars, is to simply take small oil jars over to knocked out enemies. Enemies defeated with unarmed combat are merely downed and not dead, so you can move oil jars next to them and send a flaming arrow into it to set them ablaze. Achievements have no tracker for this game at all, which you've probably already deduced, so just keep trucking until the achievement pops.

• BOOM!

  Kill 30 enemies by shooting a fire arrow at oil jars.

The rest of the achievements from this point on are a bit more peaceful in nature. The first is for defogging the entire map, which you'll naturally get while completing all the locations. The other is for taking at least one picture in five different regions. People claim that the achievement didn't pop for them unless Bayek is in the picture, so you may as well put him in the frame as you work on this.

• I Know My Land

  Defog the whole map.

On the game's main menu, select Discovery Tour and start the first tour that will be provided for you. You don't have to listen to every station in its entirety if you don't want to, so if you just want to speed things up, head to each station and exit out of it so you can run to the next one. Every final station must be listened to in full, however, but that won't ever take long.

• First Visit

  Complete one tour

  
  

Upon finishing your first tour, you'll be able to use the pause menu to change the character you're running around with. You'll need to complete tours with five different characters for one achievement, and complete all of the 20 Daily Life tours for another. You can select each Daily Life tour easily with the Passport portion of the pause menu. You can also select tours using the map.

There are two more achievements that aren't tied to skills that you can unlock in the base game area as long as the DLC is installed. For these, you need to simply free 20 rebels in camps (enemies and rebels will respawn over time) and perform three assassinations from ziplines. There are tons of caged rebels all throughout Egypt; the zipline achievement, however, is more easily performed in the DLC areas anyway.

  Perform 3 Assassinations from a zipline (The Hidden Ones)

  
  

The last miscellaneous achievement is from The Curse of the Pharaohs. In the afterlife areas, there are three types of enemies: scorpions, priests of Anubis, and mummies. Scorpions are easy to identify, of course, but the difference between the priests and the mummies is that mummies lack the trademark Anubis-shapred head in favor of a more rounded one. Killing one of these enemies with fire gives you this last miscellaneous achievement.
