Quest Tips#

1. Prepare before setting out: check gear durability, potions, and arrow counts before you leave

2. Make the most of Senu: when you reach a new quest area, scout with Senu first

3. Mind the level gap: if a quest shows a red skull marker, the enemies are far above your level

4. Side quests first: if your level falls short, clear the local side quests first

5. Save your progress: save manually before large outpost missions

6. Quest chains: some side quests trigger follow-up quest chains

7. Timed quests: some quests have a time limit — complete them early

8. Dialogue options: they don’t affect the main story’s ending, but they do influence some side quest outcomes

Side Quest Walkthroughs#

“Seven Farmers” Walkthrough#

Region: Siwa | Level: 2 | Rewards: 500 coins + 300 XP

This is a tutorial quest that showcases the style of the game’s side quests.

Steps:

1. Talk to the injured farmer in the Siwa village
2. Head to the fields to the west to investigate
3. Discover Roman soldiers forcibly requisitioning grain
4. You can choose stealth assassination or open combat
5. Stealth assassination is recommended (your early combat power is limited)
6. Report back to complete the quest

Aftermath: completing it unlocks more side quests in the Siwa region

“The Cat Goddess” Walkthrough#

Region: Alexandria | Level: 13 | Rewards: Epic accessory

One of the most famous fun side quests in the game.

Steps:

1. Meet a lady in Alexandria who is looking for her cats
2. The task is to find her 5 missing cats
3. The cats are scattered across the city of Alexandria:
   • Under a market stall (1)
   • On the temple steps (1)
   • In the Library garden (1)
   • In a harbor warehouse (1)
   • On the rooftop of a certain house (1)
4. No combat required — just find all the cats
5. Using Senu makes them much easier to spot
6. Bring the cats back to the lady to complete the quest

Tip: after you find the first cat, the lady gives you a bell — ring it and nearby cats will answer with their calls.

“Arena Champion” Walkthrough#

Region: Cyrenaica | Level: 35 | Rewards: the Steed of Glory + Legendary gear

This is one of the most important late-game side quests.

Schedule:

1. Preliminaries: 3 rounds of ordinary opponents — use them to get used to the arena’s rhythm
2. Semifinals: 5 rounds, elite enemies appear

Arena strategy: Opponent setups are random each round, but you can pre-equip for many situations:

• Heavy weapon (against shield-bearers)

• Bow (against ranged enemies)

• Smoke bombs (against groups)

• Adrenaline skills (for critical moments)

• Fights with a sword-and-shield combination

• Has multiple bodyguards

Dialogue Choices and Their Effects#

Dialogue choices exist, but their impact on the main story’s ending is limited:

What they affect:

1. The reward types of some side quests
2. The order in which certain information is obtained
3. There is no romance or companion system

Recommended approach:

• First playthrough: choose by your own instinct
• NG+: try different dialogue options
• The quest log cannot replay completed conversations

Fixing Bugged Quests#

When a quest refuses to progress, try:

1. Reload the checkpoint: reload from the pause menu
2. Fast travel away and back: triggers a region refresh
3. Restart the game: clears the cache
4. Check the quest conditions: confirm no step was missed

Known issues:

• “The Battle of the Nile”: some ships don’t spawn → reload the checkpoint
• “Cyrenaica arena”: opponents don’t appear → fast travel away and return
