The Smugglers of Cyrene

Prerequisite: Complete Side Quest: Cat and Mouse

Suggested Level: 37

REWARDS: 3,000 XP, Rare Heavy Blade

Speak to the Mouse

Talk to the Mouse, Smithnos (1), near the north coast of Cyrene. He is standing under a large shelter.

Follow the Mouse

Follow the Mouse as he heads north to the docks (2). He tells you to steal the dock manifest so you can get the Black Crow’s scheduled route into the harbor.

Find and Retrieve the Black Crow’s Manifest

Apollonia

Send Senu up and to the northeast over the pier to locate the soldier carrying the manifest. While scanning, mark the soldiers around the pier. You face Level 37 to 38 enemies here.

There’s very few guards who stand between where you last talked to the Mouse on the docks and the shelter where the manifest carrier (3) is located. Just run in and catch the patrols off guard. Eliminate them quickly so as not to start a big battle with guards farther beyond the manifest location.

Shoot an arrow into the manifest holder’s head, and take out the next nearest soldier so he won’t see you looting the dead soldier for the schedule.

Confirm the kill to acquire the Apollonia Dock Manifest.

Speak to the Mouse

Now run to the Mouse to the southeast. He is standing on the end of a small dock (4).

Find and Collect the Smuggler’s Loot

Four markers appear onscreen, all about 300 to 370 meters away to the east. The booty was dropped near the Thibron Expedition Shipwreck (5). Take the boat from the dock and sail toward the shipwreck and the markers. Shoot any nearby enemies on other smaller boats in the area.

Send Senu up to pinpoint the submerged booty. Then go swimming and retrieve the four objects from the shipwreck area. Collect the two treasures while you’re down there to complete the Thibron Expedition Shipwreck location objective.

Bring the Loot to the Mouse at the Ruins

Now take a boat to the shore and find the Mouse (6) at the Sunken Shrine of Aristoteles. When you arrive, you find soldiers attacking him.

Defend the Mouse

The Mouse’s health bar appears onscreen. If you do not defend him and his health drains completely, then you fail and must retry the objective again. Fend off the five enemies to save Smithnos, who is bound and kneeling in the middle of the ruins. Use chain attacks to make quick work of them. Approach the Mouse to free him and to complete the quest.
