Tips
  • The Kerke Wharf camp is small but dense. Be wary of the western gate where convoys travel and the eastern edge dock where triremes can dock.
  • An alarm brazier is located on a docked trireme on the northern edge of the camp.
  • High ground in the camp is limited and offers little cover.
  • Bushes near tents on the southern end of the camp can be used for cover. Whistle foes, use tents for cover, then hide in bushes to strike.
  • To deal with guards at the Memphis canal, dive into the canal, cling to the ship's edge, whistle them over, and kill them. If spotted, drop into the water to evade.
  • For completing Kerke Wharf: 600 XP
  • For completing the quest “The Matriarch”: 3,750 XP
