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

The Weasel

Prerequisite: Discover Kanopos Nome

Suggested Level: 14

Reward: 1,000 XP

Reach the Pigeon Tower

At Apollodorus’s farm, the Steward Pelias (1) sends Bayek to fetch the letter from the Pigeon Tower for him.

Investigate the Disturbance

From the south end of Apollodorus’s estate, follow the nearby marker to the north to find the Pigeon Tower (2). Activate Animus Pulse to mark the investigation points. The single investigation point on the tower’s south side is a pile of spilled charcoal.

Climb the side of the wall above the charcoal to see where it spilled from. Use Animus Pulse again to mark the clues. On the balcony, you find an overturned grill (3), a pool of blood (4), and blood on broken boards (5). Drop to the ground and inspect the blood there (6). Follow the cart tracks down the hill to the hay cart. Inspect the cart to find Ruia’s dead body hidden inside.

Carry Ruia Back to Pelias

Carry Ruia out of the hay and call for your mount. Place her body on the horse and ride back to her father Pelias (1) to break the bad news. You explain she was thrown to her death from the Pigeon Tower. You retrieve the letter from her body as well as a badge worn by Dymnos, the master of arms.

Speak to Dymnos, the Master of Arms

Head to the armory (7), which is the next large structure to the west. Select a long weapon such as a spear. You find Dymnos sitting inside. You confront him about Ruia and he has no remorse whatsoever. A fight to the death breaks out.

Kill Dymnos

Dymnos is a Level 14 enemy with a very large mace. Fight smart. Dodge and roll away from his attacks. He wields a large weapon, so he has slow but strong swinging attacks. Roll out of the way and come up behind him just as he swings and misses. Hit him with a hard attack and follow it with a few light, fast attacks to build up adrenaline until you can release a special attack to finish him off.

Speak to Pelias

After killing Dymnos, you retrieve a letter from his body that Alcandros wrote. Head back to Pelias (1) to tell him you have avenged his daughter’s death.
