Follow our Assassin's Creed Origins walkthrough for the Serapis Unites quest, guiding you through the Sarapeion, Kibotos Arsenal, and the hunt for bandits.
Walkthrough
- 1Begin the quest by going to the Sarapeion, located southwest of the Great Library. While there, enter a building on the southwestern end to find and collect the Papyrus Puzzle scroll "The Stone Gaze".
- 2Proceed to the large temple structure to the east within the Sarapeion. Interact with the statue inside to trigger a cutscene where a priest asks for your help.
- 3The priest explains that a drummer was unjustly jailed by the Phylakitai for theft. Your objective is to rescue the drummer.
- 4Leave the Sarapeion and head north to find a search area. Use Senu to locate the drummer, who is being held in the Kibotos Arsenal outpost.
- 5Infiltrate the Kibotos Arsenal. You can gain a vantage point by climbing the southern wall. The alarm beacon is located over the eastern gate.
- 6The outpost is guarded by level 8-9 guards, a level 10 captain, and overseen by a level 11 commander. Guards are also present on the walls.
- 7Your objectives within the Kibotos Arsenal are to loot two treasure chests, kill the captain, and kill the commander.
- 8Disable the alarm brazier. You can eliminate guards by sniping, using stealth takedowns, or by exploiting environmental hazards like oil pots.
- 9To use oil pots for an explosive effect, light an arrow by holding it near a brazier and then shoot the oil urns when enemies are nearby.
- 10A ballista is located on the roof of the barracks on the southern end of the camp.
- 11Loot the two treasure chests: one large red chest west of the ballista, and a small white chest inside the barracks, accessible via a trap door east of the ballista.
- 12After eliminating all guards and looting the chests, free the drummer from his cage.
- 13Carry the injured drummer out of the fort to safety.
- 14Talk to the drummer, who will ask you to find and kill the bandits responsible for the theft to clear his name.
- 15Head south to the search area, west of the Sarapeion. Use Senu to locate the bandits, who are usually found near the blacksmith and weaver.
- 16Eliminate the bandit leader (level 10) and any accompanying bandits (levels 9-10).
- 17Retrieve the stolen hide from the bandits.
- 18Return to the Sarapeion and intervene when the tanner is accusing the priest and the drummer. This will conclude the quest.
Tips
- The Papyrus Puzzle solution can be found later.
- Pay attention to the regular patrols on the walls and within the fort.
- Commanders are essentially higher-level captains and can be dealt with similarly.
- Upgrading your hidden blade can make eliminating commanders easier.
- There is a chance for legendary gear to drop from commanders.
- The ballista can be useful but be aware of enemies dropping from higher ground.
- The BOOM! trophy/achievement can be worked towards by using oil pots.
- Be cautious when carrying the drummer out of the fort, as you may still encounter enemies.
