Reach the Beach

Tjepu, an Egyptian mother (1), is in south Alexandria, near Lake Mareotis. She asks you to find her son Tefibi. He went to the beach and has not returned in quite some time.

Investigate the Beach

Run west to the marker on the beach to investigate the shoreline (2). Torn clothing here is the first clue. Inspect it. Enter the water and swim to the middle of the blood cloud; investigate it.

Use Animus Pulse in the water to find the next clue on the lighthouse island shore. Investigate the blood on the rocks. The blood leads around the lighthouse. Investigate the small hut beside the lighthouse.

Speak to Tefibi

Smash in the hut’s door and you’ll find Tefibi inside. Speak to him.

Escort Tefibi to Safety

Follow Tefibi out of the hut and back to the beach, where his clothes are. He heads farther north up the beach, where a few Level 9 soldiers and a couple bandits are out for blood. Finish them off.

Escort Tefibi to Safety

Defeat all the enemies and then speak to Tefibi to complete the quest. Loot the fallen.
