Points of Interest: Of Giza

Discover the secrets of the Giza region in Assassin's Creed Origins. This guide helps you find Silica, Ancient Tablets, and hidden treasures within the Tomb of Khafre.

Alright, let's dive into the Giza region and uncover some cool stuff. We're heading into the Tomb of Khafre first – it's one of those iconic pyramids you can't miss, located west of the Sphinx and southwest of Khufu's tomb.

To get started, just climb up the northern side of the pyramid. You'll find an opening that leads inside. Once you're in, follow the ramp heading south. You'll need to do a bit of jumping down some ledges, but keep pushing forward through a doorway. This leads to a dead-end chamber where you'll find your first piece of Silica. Grab it!

Now, head back north out of that room. You'll see another passage going deeper into the pyramid, running underneath that ramp you just came down. Follow it north. The ground will level out, and keep an eye out for a little cubby on your right. Stop there to snag another piece of Silica and light a torch.

Keep going straight for a bit, then hang a left (west). You'll reach what looks like another dead end. Light another torch here, and check out some containers for loot. Then, look along the southern wall at the western end of this room. You're looking for a hidden passage – the tell-tale sign is usually a swarm of beetles flitting around it.

Head into the room beyond, continue south, and light another torch. Now, take the passage heading east. This will lead you to the tomb's first puzzle room.

In the middle of this room, you'll see a gilded boat. Right now, it acts like a lever, but eventually, you'll use it as a ramp to reach some higher ledges. Be careful though – Bayek's weight will make the boat tip if you just walk on it. So, instead of stepping on it, go behind the boat. You'll need to push a rack of decorative shields behind the boat to keep it from tipping over. Once that's secure, you can run up the boat and leap to those higher ledges.

On the high ground you just reached, light some torches. You'll notice a passage to the east, but first, turn around and leap across some platforms to the west. This will take you to a pharaoh statue. Search the ground near its feet; you're looking for a small white chest. Loot it, then leap back east. Now, head down that passage to the east you spotted earlier. This is the tomb's treasure room.

Inside, check out the side passages for some bags of coin and another chunk of Silica. Then, make your way to the sarcophagus in the center of the chamber. Here you'll find a white chest, a red chest, another piece of Silica, and the main prize: the Ancient Tablet.

Once you've got everything, you're done in this tomb. Just follow the web-filled tunnel to the east. You'll jump over some debris, slide down a ramp, and then turn south to find daylight. You'll pop out in the ruins just east of the pyramid.
