Last update: 10 November 2017
In this page you can find all side quests that you can start in Saqqara Nome. You should go to this province after reaching, at least, level 25. Thanks to that the quests, that you can start here, won't be that difficult for you. Each description contains an information about how to unlock a given side quest, its walkthrough and rewards for completing it.
A Rebel Alliance
Suggested level: 24
How to unlock: Free Theodoros from a cage.
Rewards: 2250 XP.
The quest marker points you towards a convoy that isn't moving. It transports a prisoner called Theodoros (the picture above). You should use the fact that, in default, the guards aren't hostile towards Bayek and kill 1 or 2 of them with stealth attacks. Eliminate all soldiers from the convoy. After that you can free Theodoros and speak with him. You must now go to a rebels' camp in Bakchias (on your way you can find a few weaker soldiers).
Speak with Theodoros again. You get a quest in which you must kidnap a scribe located in Karanis. Use Senu to locate the target and his two bodyguards. During a day, your target walks around the city - this isn't a good moment for you to strike. You should do that during a night (you can use Dusk & Dawn ability) because the scribe goes to rest. Take out the guards, the scribe won't even try to escape (the picture). Take him to the rebels' camp (avoid any contact with guards while you are still in the city).
Rise of Anubis
Suggested level: 23
How to unlock: Speak with Nefertari.
Rewards: 2250 XP.
After unlocking the quest, you must follow Nefertari and go through Nitria village. She asks you to ignite three ceremonial torches near shrines. You can visit them in any order.
The northern ceremonial torch stands on a wooden construction that was built on rocks. You discover that it is damaged. You must run a small investigation. Perform a leap of faith and land in water. You can examine all tracks first or go straight to the object presented in the picture above (Broken Ceremonial Lamp Piece). Go back to the vantage point and fix the shrine. Equip Bayek with a torch and get closer to the shrine to complete the first part of the mission.
The ceremonial torch located in south-west is near a hyena lair (levels 22-25). You can't sneak past them so plan your attack (you can, e.g. climb rocks and use your bow). Be very careful while facing the strongest hyena (killing the animal completes this location). The ceremonial torch is in a small cave near the lair (the picture).
The south-east ceremonial torch is inside of the Bent Pyramid of Sneferu. You must reach the main room inside of the pyramid. This is more troublesome than you may think. Examine the north wall of the pyramid and search for the small entrance presented in the picture 1. Watch out for cobras (you can, e.g. set them on fire). Keep walking and climbing up.
Reach a weakened wall and destroy it with your weapon. Your task is to destroy a kettle presented in the picture 2, the one that blocks the movable object.
Leave the pyramid by following the same path and examine its western wall (you can also send Senu). Find the entrance from the picture 1 and enter the pyramid. Reach the place in which you must push a big object. Since the obstacle (the kettle) is destroyed, you can push it and unlock an entrance to the main chamber. Find the last ceremonial torch (the picture 2).
Ignite all three torches and go back to Nefertari. You receive a new quest called When Night Falls.
First Blood
Suggested level: 23
How to unlock: Examine the altar in the Bent Pyramid of Sneferu.
Rewards: 1500 XP.
You can start this quest after you enter the main chamber in the Bent Pyramid of Sneferu. The description from which you can learn how get there can be found in the walkthrough for Rites of Anubis side quest. Find and examine the altar presented in the picture above.
Bayek must find and examine other tracks that are connected to Rudjek's murder. Find an arrow and the destroy a wall next to it. Inside, search for a mummified heron, Rudjek's mask (destroying the jugs unleashes a new cobra!) and a sarcophagus. Watch the reconstruction. After that this short side quest will end.
When Night Falls
Suggested level: 23
How to unlock: Automatically after completing Rites of Anubis side quest.
Rewards: 3000 XP, a mount (Inspiration camel).
Take this quest from Nefertari and wait until night (you can also use Dawn & Dusk ability). After that you can meet with Suphia in the village. Accompany her to Ekdikesis Outpost. Be prepared to face some enemies while you are on your way there (the best way to kill them is to stay on your mount). Inside the fort you must first move 3 injured to a save place.
Soon, the enemy forces will attack. Try to protect your allies that are in the lower part of the camp. When the fights are over you must climb the tower, the one on which Suphia started fire. The quest ends after the cut-scene.
