Assassin's Creed Origins eGuide Side Quests Alexandria Side Quests

Phylakitai in the Eye

Prerequisite: Complete Phanos’s Side Quest: Symposiasts

Suggested Level: 11

Reward: 500 XP, Rare Mount

Talk to Phanos

You can now find Phanos (1) standing or wandering around his home. Phanos sends Bayek to deal with those who dared attack him.

Three objectives become active at once: Find and kill the charioteer; find and kill the soldiers; find and attack the armory. We like to start with the Armory.

Find and Attack the Armory

Armory

Prerequisite: Approach the Armory

SUGGESTED LEVEL: 9

LOCATION REWARD: 150 XP

LOCATION OBJECTIVE: Loot one treasure

The armory activity objective is only to steal its one treasure; however, for this quest you must kill all the soldiers occupying the armory. To do this, we suggest stopping on the lawn (2) of the Tomb of Alexander the Great (see the Activities section for acquiring the Papyrus Puzzle inside) and sending Senu over the wall to mark all the soldiers in the armory. Scale the wall and use the rooftops to shoot arrows down at the soldiers.

You can use the flagpole on the roof (3) to leap into the haystack below. When aiming to shoot arrows from a haystack, you automatically pop up and enter aim view but then hide back in the hay when you exit from aiming mode. This is a very effective way to defeat the soldiers in this area. You can also whistle to lure one to the hay (or to the nearby hiding booth) and pull him in and kill him. Find the treasure along the south wall under the covered area.

When only a few soldiers remain, they appear with yellow markers above their heads, so you know where they are and how many are left. After defeating them all, loot the armory, refill your arrow supply, and head to the next closest target.

Find and Kill the Soldiers

The soldiers are in the channel tunnel under the Royal Palace next to the armory (5). Dive into the water in front of the armory and swim to the tunnel. Dive underwater. Swim as close to the nearest marker without coming up for air (to remain stealthy).

Exit the water behind the soldier as he stands at the edge of the platform facing the channel. He may be accompanied by another soldier; if so, forget stealth and just finish them off quickly before more soldiers in the tunnel join the fight. Kill the marked soldier, dive back in the water to enter stealth, and swim back out the way you came.

Find and Kill Charioteer

The Charioteer (6) by now has made his way to the western side of Alexandria on the main (northern) two-lane road. Ride up to 25 meters away then shoot the marked soldier in the chariot before you scare him off. There is a second soldier in the chariot; you don’t have to kill him, so don’t accidentally target him first, as this will waste arrows and possibly give the marked soldier a chance to escape.

Return to Phanos

Ride back to Phanos’s to find him walking around his home. Speak to him to complete the quest. You receive a Rare Mount upon completion of the quest.
