Follow our Assassin's Creed Origins guide to complete the Striking the Anvil quest. Reclaim Benipe's tools, eliminate the captain, and choose your reward.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Return to Hepzefa’s house and travel southwest to find Benipe the blacksmith.
  2. 2
    Speak with Benipe and accept his request to retrieve his tools and eliminate the captain causing him trouble.
  3. 3
    Travel southwest to Camp Shetjeh.
  4. 4
    Summon Senu to scout the camp and locate the captain and Benipe's tools.
  5. 5
    Infiltrate Camp Shetjeh, preferably from the southeastern edge by climbing the cliffs and eliminating the archer on the watchtower, or via the irrigation ditch or open doorway on the northern end.
  6. 6
    Locate and eliminate the captain.
  7. 7
    Enter the red tent and loot the red chest to retrieve Benipe's tools. This is an area objective.
  8. 8
    Return to Benipe with the tools and news of the captain's demise.
  9. 9
    Choose one of four weapons as your reward: a Light Bow, a Shield, a Mace, or a Spear.
Tips
  • When scouting with Senu, scan the area to locate enemies.
  • The southeastern infiltration point offers a watchtower with a single archer and grass below for cover.
  • The northern infiltration points via an irrigation ditch or an open doorway offer good cover with grass.
  • Avoid fighting multiple enemies at once.
  • Do not let the enemies light the beacon, which is a standard of failure. The beacon is on the western end of the camp.
  • You can optionally disable the beacon by leaving a trap there, making it harder for enemies to call reinforcements. This can be done by climbing the cliffs west of the northern gate, heading south through high grass, and leaping across wooden structures.
  • After looting the captain and the chest, you will have completed the area objectives.
  • Consider visiting the blacksmith after the quest to upgrade weapons or refill ammo.
  • The blacksmith sells four weapons at a time, and his stock changes as you level up.

For completing Camp Shetjeh: 200 XP.

For completing the quest “Striking the Anvil”: 500 XP and your choice of a rare (purple) quality Light Bow, Shield, Mace, or Spear.
