Prerequisite: Discovered during Side Quest: Workers’ Lament

Suggested Level: 18

Reward: 1,000 XP & Rare Sword

Explore the East Bank of the Nile

Be careful around the ruins; they’re guarded by bandits.

Synchronize with the Viewpoint (2). To do this, climb the adjacent pillar (1) and then leap over to the Viewpoint to reach the top.

Enter the north entrance (3). Put an arrow in the head of the bandit (4) near the descending stairs just to clear the way and not start a fight with everyone.

Head down the stairs to the subterranean chamber, and use Animus Pulse to mark all the loot. Take the treasure and you’ll discover the sword is not here. The objective updates.

Reach the Bandit Camps

Check your world map to find the bandit camp marker to the north. Be cautious on your approach. Stop and dismount in some tall grass and send Senu up to investigate.

Find and Steal the Sword of Ptah

Dasos Hideout

Prerequisite: Approach the hideout

Suggested Level: 18

Location Reward: 400 XP

Location Objectives: Kill two captains, loot one treasure

Have Senu search and mark enemies and the sword’s location. This hideout is divided in two sections—the exterior camp and the cave interior hideout. The treasure you seek is inside the cave. The exterior camp is occupied by around eight Level 18 bandits with a Level 19 captain. The interior cave section is occupied by a pack of hyenas.

To reach the captain, get on the cave’s rooftop (6). Drop down the ledges, using the tall grass for cover, and keep moving down to the ground behind the main tent.

From behind the tent (7), move left (9) or right (8) and remain in tall grass. If enemies are in groups together, then shoot vases in the distance to force them to patrol. Once they are moving about, you can divide and conquer. Travel through tall grass along the camp’s edge (10) and get more headshots or lure victims to tall grass ambushes.

Lure the captain into the bushes and execute him. You could leave everyone else alive and then return to the rock top (6) and enter the hole to the cave. Shoot the hyenas with arrows before you drop in and gab the treasure and the quest item from the second chest. Once you have the Sword of Ptah, you complete the quest.
