Walkthrough for Assassin's Creed Origins' The Shifty Scribe quest. Rescue Aristo from Eudoros, defeat guards, and escort him to the southern docks for 750 XP.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Find the quest giver southwest of the Great Library in a house where a woman is shouting about Aristo.
  2. 2
    Talk to the woman to learn about the plagiarism by Eudoros and the need to rescue her husband, Aristo.
  3. 3
    Travel southeast to the search area.
  4. 4
    Use Senu to scan for Aristo, who is in a cage on a chariot.
  5. 5
    Deal with any guards. If there is one guard (level 11) on the chariot, shoot them with a Light Bow while mounted. If there are more guards, focus on the chariot guard first to stop the chariot, then deal with the others.
  6. 6
    Once the area is clear, dismount, get in the cage, and talk to Aristo.
  7. 7
    Pick up Aristo, place him on your mount, and ride to the southern docks.
  8. 8
    Carry Aristo onto the get-away ship and set him down.
  9. 9
    Talk to Aristo to complete the quest.
Tips
  • The difficulty of dealing with guards can vary, similar to the quest “A Tithe By Another Name.”
  • Focus on the guard on the chariot first to stop its movement.
