Your friendly guide to the 'Forging Siwa' memory in Assassin's Creed Origins. Learn about Bayek's investigation into stolen Siwan treasures and his encounter with Kenthap.

Hey there! So, you've landed on the 'Forging Siwa' memory in Assassin's Creed Origins. Think of this as Bayek diving into a bit of his past, reliving a memory through Layla Hassan and the Animus HR-8. It's all about some stolen Siwan treasures. ## Description Basically, Bayek hears about someone named Kenthap selling stolen Siwan treasures in Euhemeria's Black Market. Naturally, he's intrigued and goes to check it out. ## Dialogue When Bayek's in Euhemeria, he'll hear a merchant shouting about unique treasures from Siwa, claiming they're straight from the gods. This merchant spots Bayek and, noticing his Medjay badge, asks if he'd sell it. Bayek, of course, says Siwa isn't for sale. The merchant then points Bayek towards the Valley Market to the east, mentioning they have real Siwan treasures. Bayek heads over and overhears folks talking about a new stall with treasures from the Temple in Siwa. He finds Kenthap's stall under some bird nests. Kenthap, a young girl, greets him and offers treasures. Bayek, being the sharp one he is, points out a figurine is a fake. Kenthap insists they're real, but then admits she has more expensive ones at her camp and offers to take Bayek there. As they walk, Kenthap keeps trying to sell Bayek a better Medjay badge, but he's more interested in her other treasures. She eventually admits her treasures aren't *really* real, but her mother has some genuine ones. Bayek, playing along, says he used to be a Medjay and knows the real deal. They head towards a canal, and suddenly, they hear a woman scream. It's Kenthap's mother! Bandits have her tied up, demanding money and threatening her over counterfeit treasures. They call themselves the 'Fake Bandits'. Bayek, being Bayek, steps in. He fights off the bandits, saving Kenthap's mother. She's super grateful and, since she can't pay with money, she gives Bayek a rare, genuine Imitation Siwan Khopesh as a thank you. Kenthap is relieved and apologizes for calling Bayek fake earlier. If you visit Kenthap's mother later, she's moved on from Siwan treasures and is now selling Giza items. Kenthap jokingly tells Bayek they don't sell Siwan stuff anymore because it's too much trouble! ## Outcome So, the main takeaway is that Bayek rescues Kenthap's mother from the Fake Bandits and gets a cool Imitation Siwan Khopesh for his trouble. Pretty neat, right?
