Assassin's Creed Origins eGuide Side Quests Faiyum Oasis Side Quests

The Man Beast

Prerequisite: Discover Faiyum Oasis

Suggested Level: 28

Reward: 3,000 XP

Talk to the Fisherman

Krokodilopolis

Talk to the fisherman (1) on the small northwest island in Krokodilopolis.

Investigate the Area around the Man Beast

Follow the nearby objective marker to the investigation area (2) on the same island. Use Animus Pulse to locate the three clues: baskets of fish bait meat (possibly human); broken vases on the shore; and rotting, waterlogged, bloody flesh in the water next to the vases.

Find the Source of the Body Parts

Head to the end of the pier and talk to the little boy. Take a boat and follow the trail of blood floating on the water’s surface. Send Senu up to locate the cave entrance (3) across the river to the southeast. Exit the boat and enter the watery cave.

Explore the Cave

Once in the cave, dive deep underwater and swim through the many floating body parts in the tunnel below to reach a dry, subterranean chamber. Beware of the crocodile when you surface. Wipe it out and then use Animus Pulse to locate clues. You find half-eaten bodies near the crocodile you just killed, and on the other side of the short wall is a seating area.

Head to the right nook to free the prisoner. He tells you that the embalmer is throwing people to the crocodiles while spectators watch. The prisoner says he was kidnapped from the market.

Find and Assassinate the Embalmer

Follow the bright light in a nearby corner to find a ladder that leads to an exit above. This opens into the embalmer’s work area (4).

Use Senu to locate the embalmer (5) in Greek Square. Get to the rooftops just before reaching your target. Take out the embalmer and then his large brute bodyguard to complete the quest. If you have the chain assassination ability, use it.
