Serapis Unites
Suggested level: 10
How to unlock: Pray in Serapis Temple.
Rewards: 800 XP.
Press the interaction button when you are standing near the statue to pray and receive a quest from a priest. You must save a captured drummer. Reach Kibotos Arsenal fort and use Senu to locate the prisoner (the picture). You should infiltrate the fort during a night because you should try to (stealth) kill as much enemies as possible before you rescue the drummer. Clearing the path that leads to the fort's exit is especially important because you must go through it while carrying the rescued person.
Listen to the conversation and head south. Use Senu to locate a person that carries a lion's skin. You can kill the enemy by, e.g. preforming a leap attack from a rooftop. You must also kill his bodyguard. Retrieve the lion's skin and take it back to the priest.
A Tithe By Any Other Name
Suggested level: 10
How to unlock: Complete Serapis Unites side quest.
Rewards: 800 XP.
Speak with the priest in Serapis Temple again. Your task is to steal a cart that rides through the city (the picture). Approach it with your own mount and attack the carter by using a melee weapon or a bow (you can also throw him off the cart by using Hijack ability). You don't have to kill the convoy's guards because you can escape them (this is easy to do because they don't have horses). Ride the cart with food to an appointed place in the harbor. Try to avoid hitting anything and going through narrow passages because you can destroy or wedge the cart which, in result, will fail the mission.
The Odyssey
Suggested level: 10
How to unlock: Complete A Tithe By Any Other Name side quest.
Rewards: 800 XP.
Speak with the priest once again (he walks around the docks). You must help the man escape from the city and avoid being killed by Hunters. You must take him to a temple in the north part of the city. Choose side streets and scout an area beforehand so you won't come across too many enemies. If a fight breaks out you should focus on enemies that are a threat to the priest (mounted enemies should be attacked with bows, you can also use melee weapons to attack mounts and throw the riders on the ground). Reach the northern temple (the picture) and complete the quest.
The Shifty Scribe
Suggested level: 11
How to unlock: Speak with a woman.
Rewards: 750 XP.
Bayek must save Aristo, a Greek philosopher. Use Senu and scout the south-east part of the city. The prisoner will be transported in a cage attached to a cart (the picture). Eliminate the carter (e.g. use a melee weapon or a bow) and, optionally, the guards. Open the cage and pick up Aristo. Start moving south (try to avoid guards if you don't want to fight with them). You must take Aristo to the docks.
The Last Bodyguard
Suggested level: 15
How to unlock: Speak with a merchant.
Rewards: 800 XP, 500 Drachma.
A merchant asks Bayek for help. After a short walk you learn that Bayek must protect his daughter, Kara. Take her to south-west part of the docks. You can get there by going through canals or by using side streets. If you come across problems, you should first eliminate those enemies that are a threat to the girl.
Reach the appointed place, get on the horse and head east. Follow the girl again. You must also pick up linens. After the robbery you must quickly call your own mount and chase the thief. Throw him off the horse by, e.g. attacking him with a melee weapon (the picture). Get on Kara's horse and go back to the girl. Speak with her and her father to complete the quest.
Wrath of the Poets
Suggested level: 20
How to unlock: Speak with Phanos.
Rewards: 1500 XP.
Phanos is in the amphitheater. He asks you to rescue kidnapped actors and to recover a script. The actors are held in Akra Garrison located on Alexandria's outskirts. Go near the garrison and scout the area with Senu to find the cages. You should infiltrate this place during a night and stealth kill your enemies. Approach a cage with an actor, open it (you should also open all other cages) and carry an actor outside the fort.
Put the rescued actor on the ground and speak with him. You learn about his friend that is hiding and about the current owner of the play's scenario. These mission objectives are nearby so send Senu to scout the area:
- The Politics of the Gods scenario is in possession of one of the stronger enemies (the picture). These enemies are at levels 19-20 so be prepared to have a challenging fight.
- One of the actors hides inside of a building near the water. Approach him and start escorting the actor towards one of the main city's streets. It is highly probable that you will come across a patrol. If that happens, you should defeat enemies before they become a threat to the escorted person.
Complete all objectives and go back to Phanos.
Symposiasts
Suggested level: 21
How to unlock: Complete Wrath of the Poets side quest.
Rewards: 1500 XP.
Go to the Alexandria's amphitheater and meet with Phanos again. Follow and protect him (call your own mount or use the mission's "default" horse). You can be attacked. When that happens, you should eliminate enemies without getting off your mount. Reach the destination and speak with Phanos. You learn about an attack of Gennadios' people. This time, you must face more difficult soldiers (levels 20-21). Attack those enemies that are a threat to Phanos, then you can eliminate the rest of them. Speak with Phanos again. He needs more time to prepare a plan for an attack on a greater scale (the description of that mission can be found below; its quest marker will appear after some time).
Phylakitai in the Eye
Suggested level: 22
How to unlock: Complete Symposiasts side quest.
Rewards: 1500 XP, a mount (Basus camel).
Complete Symposiasts quest and wait some time - you will soon notice a new quest marker near one of the vantage points in Alexandria. This is the last quest from those in which you help Phanos and his actors. The mission has three main objectives:
- Kill a carter that rides a chariot through the city - Use Senu to locate the chariot. Chase him on your mount and attack the carter (with a melee weapon or a bow). You can escape from the rest of the enemies.
- Kill a group of soldiers - The enemies use a boat to travel through the canals (the picture). You can wait for them wherever you want (e.g. near one of the big entrances to the canals or in the canals itself) and start eliminating them with a bow.
- Attack the armory - This building is near the docks. Bayek must kill all enemies (level 22). You can perform stealth attacks (preferably during a night) or kill them in regular fights.
Complete all objectives and go back to Phanos.
The Accidental Philosopher
Suggested level: 20
How to unlock: Speak with Tjepu.
Rewards: 1500 XP.
Tjepu asks you to find her son, Tefibi. Go to a small beach located south-west from the quest's starting point. You must examine this place and find new interactive areas near a lighthouse. You will find ripped cloths and a lot of blood. They will lead Bayek to the door located at the back of the lighthouse (presented in the picture). Destroy the door with a melee weapon. Go inside and speak with Tefibi. You must now both head towards the docks. You will also be attacked by bandits (level 19). Defeat them all and speak with Tefibi. This completes the quest, however, Tjepu and Tefibi will appear in another side quest.
Higher Education
Suggested level: 21
How to unlock: Complete The Accidental Philosopher side quest.
Rewards: 1500 XP.
Meet with Tjepu and Tefibi again and receive a quest in which you must retrieve a papyrus. The item is carried by one of the soldiers that are on ship that floats on Lake Mareotis. Steal a boat and reach the marker. There are only two enemies on the boat, you can defeat them easily (the picture). Kill them (you can board their ship or use a bow) and examine the corpses. One of the bodies contains Tefibi's Notes. Go back to the quest givers.
