Assassin's Creed Origins Guide › Side Quests › Herakleion Nome Side Quests

Recon Work

Prerequisite: Discover Herakleion Nome

Suggested Level: 26

Reward: 1,500 XP

Interact with the Informant Table

Head to the Herakleion in Herakleion Nome and interact with the informant table (1) at the bulkhead. Accept the only available job, “Recon Work.”

Find the Military Camp

Mithidrates Roman Camp

Prerequisite: Approach the camp

Suggested Level: 31

Location Reward: 600 XP

Location Objectives: Kill one captain, loot one treasure

Take a boat northeast to the northeasternmost island in Herakleion Nome to find the Mithidrates Roman Camp (2). Fly Senu over to mark all the soldiers and the treasure. The ship that is docked at the camp holds the treasure.

Climb the southwest watchtower (2) and grab some arrows (set them on fire). Shoot one of the three soldiers—one being the captain—sitting under the nearby tent (3).

As soon as you fire, hang off the back of the watchtower so if they climb up, they won’t see you. Then attack again and perform a drop assassination on the remaining one.

Now you can move more freely around the camp using the tall grass and building interiors for cover. You could enter the closest building (4) to your watchtower, shoot three soldiers across the yard (5) and (6), and duck behind the doorway if an arrow doesn’t kill one of them.

Don’t free the prisoners yet; wait until you’ve eliminated all the soldiers in the camp. Use the tall grass (7) near the building just beyond the prisoners for cover as you shoot the soldiers on the ship (8).

Investigate the Military Camp

This objective simply means “free the prisoners” (6).

Speak to the Prisoners

Once free, talk to the guy with the marker over his head. Complete the location objective by looting the treasure on the ship (8).
