Prerequisite: Discover Memphis
Suggested Level: 23
Reward: 1,000 XP
Find and Rescue the Baker’s Taster
Talk to the cursing baker (1) in northeast Memphis.
Send Senu up to track down the prison cart that is on a short route around a city block; this includes going very close to the Memphites Barracks (2). The prison cart is driven by an archer and is followed closely by a couple soldiers. No matter what part of town you choose to ambush the prison cart, additional soldiers in the area respond. However, we still suggest ambushing it as far away from the barracks as possible to minimize reinforcements.
Once you deal with the threat, get into the back of the cage and pick up the taster. Put him on a horse and take him to the baker (1). Drop him in the marked location at the bakery. He tells you that he uncovered a plot to poison the lady Taimhotep. He thinks the cakes will be at the garrison.
Find and Destroy the Jars of Poisoned Cakes
Memphites Barracks
Prerequisite: Approach the camp
Suggested Level: 23
Location Reward: 600 XP
Location Objectives: Kill one captain, kill one commander, loot two treasures
Send Senu up over Memphites Barracks to locate the poison cakes and to mark enemies, the captain, and the brazier. Reach the rooftop of the house (2) to the north. You can leap from the house’s rooftop to two Y-branched trees, and then latch on to the top of the barrack’s wall walk. From there, stealthily shoot any soldiers in sight and any near the brazier (3).
Set the brazier (3) trap. This helps you avoid the Phylake in Memphis if the alarm is set. Pivot west from the brazier and enter the second level of the main barracks building. Walk to the edge inside and look down to your right. You can spot the commander (4) in the room with the treasure.
Sometimes the commander is next to the treasure and sometimes he’s on the room’s other side (5). Either way, get into a position above him, quickly shoot his guard in the head, and then drop assassinate him before he spots you. Duck into the hiding booth in his room to avoid detection from any other guards who may have heard commotion.
Sneak around the barracks using the tops of walls, the haystack, or the hiding booth. Eliminate anyone within earshot of you smashing the six cake vases, which are indicated with objective markers. They are in the rooms (6) across the hall from the commander’s. Destroy them with arrows or a blunt weapon.
Return to the wall walk and head to the barracks’ east side to reach the last two vases of poisoned cakes. They’re under the overhang of a small building, where you also find the second treasure and the captain. Stand on the wall walk (7) and shoot the remaining vases (8) with arrows. To complete the location objective, begin your assault on the captain, loot the treasure inside, and escape.
