Suggested level: 35

How to unlock: Reach the place marked on the map.

Rewards: 3,000 XP, Rare dual swords.

Someone waits for you in Memphis. This person is a man, he will give you a letter. After that you have to go to the enemy's camp and defeat all foes. That place is hard to reach because to get there you have to go through tall mountains. Instead, you can decide to go around them. This can take you a little bit more time but if you fall from the mountains, you will have to repeat this process all over again.

You can free a lion (the soldiers keep it in a cage) to clear the camp with greater ease. There is a commander in this camp. Kill him and loot his body to find a letter. Kill all enemies and receive another objective.

You can notice 3 markings on the map. Each one of them is a cart with goods. You have to destroy them all. The best way to do that is to use your bow. Thanks to that you won't have to face their guards and you will be able to go to your next destination without any problems.

Lastly, you have to visit Pissa Oros Citadel. There, you have to destroy goods and kill one person. Your target is guarded well so prepare yourself. A good shot from your bow won't be enough. You have to finish off your target so clear the location beforehand.

Now, head to Alexandria. There, you have to find Otis' corpse. Run an investigation. Search Otis' and his servant's corpses as well as papyruses - they are all located on the ground floor. Then, you have to go upstairs. Examine the body, the blood on the bed and the vase. Bayek informs you that something is inside of it. Break the vase and examine the papyruses that were hidden inside of it. This ends the mission.

How to unlock: Speak with one of the praying people or check the Informant Table in Memphis.

Rewards: 1500 XP.

Bayek must find a source of stink in Memphis. Locate an entrance to a tomb hidden somewhere in the city. Send Senu to scout the area. The entrance is presented in the picture.

Be careful because the first chamber of the tomb is occupied by a group of bandits (level 21). Deal with them and continue exploration. Destroy one of the weakened walls (use a melee weapon). Enter the new room and examine all interactive objects: mummies, a citizens' sacrifice and a pool of blood on the floor. Break another barricade (the one to which the blood trails lead to). You reach a chamber with rotten mummies. Examine the last track (the picture) - body parts.

Leave the tomb and head to the building in which corpses are embalmed. Speak with the marked person and examine the area. You must talk to more people. One of them suggests you to meet with a worker on the back of the building. After that you must head to a warehouse with natron. Bayek must interrogate another person. You receive coordination of a bandits' cave in which they mix natron.

Head to the water tank that is adjacent to the Memphis' palace. There, you should find crocodiles - reach that place and attack the animals. There are a lot of them so be prepared to run away if they deal too much damage to Bayek.

They are on boats that float on small rivers that run through Memphis. Located them with Senu and reach the targets in any order. The best way to kill the criminals is to use a Predator Bow.

Otherwise, you may be attacked by soldiers that are inside of the fort. Free the prisoner from the cage and take him to the quest giver.

You learn that you must destroy jars with poisoned cakes. Head towards the aforementioned Memphites Barracks. This fort is heavily guarded which means that you should infiltrate it during a night, remember to also scan the place with Senu. The jars are located in three different places in the fort - an example is presented in the picture. You can destroy them with a melee weapon or a bow. Use rooftops and walls during your exploration of the fort. You can also encounter strong Commanders (level 24). Destroy the jars and complete the quest.

Reach the dockyard in Memphis and start an investigation. You must examine a sail, ropes inside the half-burned ship and a toy that lies on boards. You must also talk to a man that stands nearby. He doesn't want to speak with you so destroy his goods (the picture). Use a melee weapon to break a few of his jugs with oil and talk to him again. You learn a location of the rest of the children.

Head south where the kidnappers' ship is currently docked - that place is a small camp called Apagogeas Hideout. Scout the area with Senu so you can learn locations of all enemies. You should also clear the area during a night because you will be able to surprise your enemies with ease. Kill all bandits in the camp and then speak with a child that hides behind crates.

The last place that you must visit in this quest is Gaia's villa, west from the bandits' camp. Again, send Senu to scout the area - inside of the villa's terrains you can find guards (this place is off-limits). Kawit is held in the basement (the picture) but her cell is locked.
