Find the Book of the Dead
An old man (1) sits in the midst of the Yamu market, mourning for his lost Book of the Dead. He asks Bayek to help him find it while directing him toward the Necropolis, where the thieves were last seen.
Necropolis Bandit Hideout
Enemy Levels: 6-8
LOCATION REWARD: 200 XP
LOCATION OBJECTIVES: One captain, one treasure
Head to the Necropolis Bandit Hideout (2). Use Senu to locate the book inside the cave. There are five bandits and a captain patrolling the area. Use either the bushes on the ledges beside (A) or above (B) the cave to hide and set up for a bow-and-arrow attack on the enemies below or using the tall grass (C) around the area to sneak up behind the enemies for stealthy takedowns. There’s a haystack hiding place (D) you can use as well.
After you kill everyone, move into the cave entrance (E). Use Animus Pulse to find loot and the Book of the Dead on a broken barrel of grain. Loot the treasure chest as well.
Bring the Book to the Old Man
A bandit on a horse is quickly closing in on your position. It’s easier to defeat him using arrows before getting on a horse. Otherwise you’ll meet this guy on your journey home and must deal with him while riding.
Follow the marker back to Yamu. You find his sobbing daughter on the balcony of the old man’s house. The old man died while you were retrieving his book.
Head northwest to the mummification temple (4) and enter the gated area. Follow the marker to old man’s body, lying on a table. Interact with him to return the book to him.
