Divine Lion Stone Circle¶

First up, a simple bit of experience that’ll also advance the quest “Bayek’s Promise” . From the fast travel site in the Iment Nome area head northeast to reach the Divine Lion Stone Circle. You know how this works, do some star-gazing and align the stars to score some easy experience.

Approach the Point of Interest to trigger the quest (left). Align the stars like so (right).

Eremos Hideout¶

North and ever-so-slightly west of the fast travel point in the Iment Nome area (northwest of the Divine Lion Stone Circle) you’ll find Eremos Hideout. A normal “extermination zone” area, this is a small bandit camp where you’ll find about a half dozen enemies, whose levels range from level six to eight. There’s not a great deal of cover, but there’s enough foliage around the camp that you can, with a bit of patience and good aim, thin the herd with a bow from afar. Use Senu to spot the enemies, and when their numbers are reduced, you can safely move in and take out any survivors with close-ranged takedowns or outright melee.

This area’s objectives are twofold: kill the captain, and loot a chest. Senu should make the location of the captain fairly obvious, and from stealth he’s not any more dangerous than the other foes. The chest can be found in a tent along the southeastern end of the camp.

Necropolis Bandit Hideout¶

If you’re playing online, you may find quests to avenge friends (left). At the Necropolis Hideout, the loot chest is inside the cave (right).

If you enjoyed the last event, and have an appetite for more bandit-slaying, then good news! - there’s another, nearly identical event to the west of the Eremos Hideout (northwest of the fast travel spot in the Iment Nome area).

Built into a cliff you’ll find a tomb, which is now being used by some bandits as a base. Like in the Eremos Hideout area, there are around half a dozen bandits between levels six and eight, led by one captain (level 8). The grass you can hide in is a big thicker here, but on the down side, you’ve only got around 180 degrees to maneuver, making the enemy density somewhat higher. Defeat the bandits (killing the captain is again an objective), then enter the tomb and search the northeastern-most end of the tomb complex to find the red chest you have to loot to satisfy the second objective and complete the area.

With that, you’re done in the Iment Nome area, and you’ve obtained a bit of experience as a result of the endeavor. That was but a mere appetizer for the next area, Lake Mareotis, which has three times as many points of interest and fast travel locations to explore… it even has some proper sidequests! All in all, it’s a fine middle ground between Siwa and Alexandria, as far as challenge goes. There’s no proper road from the Iment Nome area to the Lake Mareotis area (the only roads lead east and northeast to the Khensu Nome area, which is probably too much for you right now) so just head northeast from the Necropolis Bandit Hideout area until you cross the border to Lake Mareotis.
