Follow this Assassin's Creed Origins walkthrough to complete the 'Fighting for Faiyum' quest, including rescuing the rebel leader and infiltrating Fort Boubastos.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    After completing "Shadya's Rest," talk to Hotephres and Khenut to learn about their plan to liberate Faiyum.
  2. 2
    Go east and speak with a farmer. To gain his trust, light three bundles of straw on fire using an "On Fire" bow or your torch.
  3. 3
    Talk to the farmer again, mentioning you killed the captain who was bothering him.
  4. 4
    Return to Hotephres's villa. Soldiers will attack; defeat the two brutes and the elite soldier.
  5. 5
    Follow Khenut out of the villa and ride southeast to the rebel base.
  6. 6
    Travel northeast to Cleon's Dam to rescue the rebel leader from the enemy camp. Clear the guards, free the leader, and escort him to safety.
  7. 7
    Infiltrate Fort Boubastos to kill the commander. The fort has two captains (level 32), a commander (level 33), and four treasures.
  8. 8
    Consider a strategy where you leave the fort, circle around to the southeastern edge, and let a small group of rebels attack the fort first. Wait for the guards to calm down after their assault.
  9. 9
    Scout remaining enemies with Senu. Scale a wall in an advantageous position and eliminate enemies, prioritizing those with your hidden blade. Be aware of archers using fire arrows and enemies with fire bombs and smoke bombs.
Tips
  • At Cleon's Dam, the captain is level 32. The camp has towers and heavy brutes. Chain Assassination can be useful.
  • Fort Boubastos is a large fort with a lower section near water and an elevated main part. A cave in the cliffs leads into the interior but scaling the walls is often more advantageous.
  • The scepter-armed super captain in Fort Boubastos is a significant threat.
  • Be mindful of fire arrows and bombs, which are becoming more common.
  • 600 XP for completing Cleon's Dam.
