Find and Kill the Tax Collector

Ride toward the marker that appears by the shore (2) of Lake Mareotis. Use Senu to discover the tax collector in Camp Shemu.

Camp Shemu

Prerequisite: Approach the camp

Suggested Level: 16 or higher

Location Reward: 400 XP

Location Objectives: Kill one captain, loot one treasure

Climb the south wall (2) of the brazier watchtower. Head to the top of the tower (3) and set the brazier trap. There’s about ten soldiers, Levels 15 to 17, in this small camp. A soldier often stands alone on the pier (5), but don’t take the shot if you can’t kill him with one arrow.

With the trap set, you can hang on the edge of the brazier tower’s south handrail and whistle to draw enemies up the stairs. Lure them to the edge and then grab them and throw them down to their death. We lured the tax collector to his death this way.

Use the weapons on the ballista platform (4) to take out the others to reach the treasure in the tent (7). Use the ballista nearest the main gate to take out the soldiers there (6). This is a good way to eliminate the captain if you have not done so already. Once you kill the tax collector, the quest ends successfully.
