The local phylakitai (1) at the Sarapeion asks Bayek to help his murder investigation.
Investigate the Temple
Karanis
Enter the Sarapeion of Karanis (2) and begin the murder investigation. Inspect the overturned and bloody chair, then the green paint on the statue’s left foot. Climb up the statue and jump from the left arm to the right. Inspect the Wadjet mask on its right shoulder.
Follow the painted green wood platform from the right arm to the second-level room. Inspect the Killer’s Letter on the bloody lounge chair.
In the next section of the second-floor room, find the papyrus puzzle (3) for the temple on a table behind the screen.
Speak to the Phylakitai
Return to the first floor and talk to the phylakitai about what the letter said.
Kill the Bandits Holding the High Priest
Follow the phylakitai as he runs out of the temple, turns left, and heads up a ladder on a tall city wall (4). Killers are harassing the priest in the nearby courtyard (5).
Three bandits are about to kill the high priest. Take one out with an arrow to the head before they start scrambling. Either remain on the wall flinging arrows or leap down there and get your hands dirty. Just finish them off. There are two archers and one with a full-body shield. Save the priest.
Afterward, both the high priest and the phylakitai thank you. Stick around in the courtyard after completing the quest; a lady runs up to you, asking for your help. This unlocks Side Quest: Feeding Faiyum.
