Hidden Tax

Prerequisite: Discover Lake Mareotis

Suggested Level: 6

Find Klaudios, the Missing Husband

A woman (1) by the lakeside is begging passersby to help search for her husband, Klaudios, who was last seen taking a boat toward the ruins (4) on Lake Mareotis.

Synchronize with the Temple of Sekhmet’s Viewpoint (2). Head east and find a small boat (3) near the shore. Use the boat to reach Klaudios (4) at the island ruins. Use Senu to locate the missing husband on a broken column in the water surrounded by snapping crocs.

Kill the Crocodiles Threatening Klaudios

Shoot the crocodiles using a bow. If you are out of arrows, try a long weapon while swimming next to them. Collect their loot (crocodile eggs) and speak to Klaudios.

Speak to Klaudios to Make Sure He’s Safe

Talk to Klaudios and with a drunken sway, he’ll explain how he got there. He’s seems confused about having a wife when you explain that you’ll be escorting him back to her.

Bring Klaudios Back to His Wife

Commandeer a boat and head back to the mainland (1) with Klaudios aboard. Dock it near a pier and follow the marker back to Klaudios’s wife.

Defend Klaudios from the Bandits

When you finally reunite Klaudios and his wife, he suddenly remembers that this woman is the reason he escaped to the island. Her two brothers walk up and begin a brawl. Start by filling them with arrows and if that doesn’t kill them move in with your favorite weapon.

Speak to Klaudios to Make Sure He’s Safe

In the background you can hear Klaudios’s wife screaming that you killed her brothers. Speak to Klaudios after the fight to complete the quest.
