Assassin's Creed Origins Wiki Guide

The Hyena

Below is all the information you'll need to beat The Hyena, one of the Main Quests found in Assassin's Creed: Origins. It's recommended to be level 18.

This quest has you travelling to the Great Pyramids. Near their base is a small city where you will first meet a contact. When you try speaking to him, he demands 100 Drachmas before he’ll hand over any info.

After paying him, he will give you a few tidbits, but then send you to fetch his horse before offering any more. His horse is very well guarded, so take a quiet approach. Start high up in the cliffs and slowly clear out the enemies in the area. Keep in mind you don’t need to kill everyone, Simply clear out the enemies near the horse (which Senu can lock in on) and then just jump on the horse and flee the area. Bring the horse back to the man and he’ll offer up more information.

With this new info in hand, ride West past the pyramids and into the mountains. When you arrive, use Senu to lock in on your target. Your goal now is to clear this area of all the Hyenas. Be cautious, they are no pushovers and since you can’t sneak kill them easily, Ranged or direct Melee combat are the only options. After they are dealt with, ping the area with Up on the Dpad to begin the investigation. We can fast track it though. The object you need is inside one of the cages that also holds a single Hyena. Bust open the cage, deal with the animal then investigate the rock to find a map.

Head back to the Great Pyramids and to the marked location. Your target is inside currently, so make your way into the small tunnel. When you reach the first split, go right through the cracked wall. This path will lead to a room with a hole in the ground. Jump down and continue following the path until you reach a giant chamber with lights inside. Head down to the main floor and ping the area with Up on the Dpad to begin an investigation. Once you’ve checked the nearby items, you’ll be instructed to open the Sarcophagus, so do it.

After the cutscene, run towards the objective and exit this part of the tomb. Light a torch and continue chasing after her. While you do, keep your shield up as she will try lighting you on fire and hitting you with arrows.

Eventually your path leads you out of the tunnels, where you will do battle with Khaliset. She is a ranged only character, so to combat this, always have your shield up while walking around. Your goal is to track the arrows, so when she shoots at you, look at where they came from and run in that direction until you spot her. Once you see her, quickly close ground and attack. She has no defence against melee combat, so if you can get in close, you can deal massive damage as she tried to flee. If she does flee, simply walk around slowly with your shield up until she starts shooting arrows again. Repeat the process of taking the arrows to your shield while you track her location, then close in and melee her some more until she dies. Once she dies, a cutscene will play and the mission will end.
