Walkthrough[edit]

This rescue/assassination has a number of ways it can be completed.

  • Make your way to the Southwest of Sais.
  • This will lead you to, after a long trek, Fort Nikiou.
  • Summon your mount to make things a lot faster.


  • This guide focuses on approaching from the Southeast, going directly into the fort, not using the hidden passage that Jeska told Bayek.


  • Make your way over to the fort, then send up Senu to start marking your foes.
  • Start with a fly over to mark as many of the soldiers as you can.
  • The soldiers, Captain and Commander in here range from 15-17.
  • Harkuf can be found in the center of the fort.
  • There are a lot of soldiers you will need to concern yourself about, but how many will be determined by how you enter the area.
  • Come up to the docks by the Northwestern corner of the fort.
  • There is a Heavy Guard there that you will want to approach carefully from the very bank of the river.
  • Take cover and wait in the reeds.
  • The guard to approach the shield rack nearby where you are hiding in the reeds.
  • If they continue past, go up to the wall below the shield rack and climb up it.
  • Slip up behind them and assassinate them.
  • Look to the East, where you can see another Heavy Guard coming down the hill toward the dock.
  • Quickly snipe them with a Predator Bow, or directly engage them.
  • Go over to the Eastern entrance and wait just outside.
  • Once there, you will want to wait shortly for a soldier to come outside the fort.
  • Whistle to lure them over and assassinate them while in the grass.
  • Climb up the nearby wall to reach the top of the wall.
  • You can continue up the nearby parapet to get a better view of the area below.
  • Look to the Southwest to spot the guard nearby at the ledge.
  • Snipe them at a distance to drop the guard.
  • Go over to the guard you just killed.
  • This will let you see into the area where Harkuf is.
  • Go to the Eastern side of this area, wait by the edge, behind the railing.
  • A guard will come up eventually to the weapons rack.
  • Get onto the railing and then assassinate the guard.
  • On the ground, slip into the nearby room to the West.
  • In here, there are likely 3 sleeping guards.
  • Assassinate the guards and then head out of the Southern entrance of this room.
  • Go to the West from there to have a view on the sunken area where the Captain and Harkuf.
  • In this lower area you will see a cage with a lion inside it.
  • Climb onto the top of the building and break open the door of the cage.
  • The lion will attack the Captain, as well as Sefetu, and you can possibly have some rebels in this area as well.
  • This will lead to combat with a number of soldiers and the Captain.
  • The lion will likely die, but has done moderate damage to the Captain.
  • Keep nearby the building you were on to help control the enemies coming toward you.
  • When engaging the Captain, you will need to dodge frequently.
  • Be mindful of the very long reach of the weapon as well.
  • This fight will very likely draw Sefetu to you as well as the captain.
  • Until you defeat the commander, focus on using your adrenaline attacks on them.
  • Just after that, switch your focus onto Sefetu and other soldiers who are immediately attacking you.
  • Staying by the building above the sunken plaza will ensure you know where Sefetu is.
  • Clear out any remaining soldiers close to you.
  • Go down into the lower area and deal with what soldiers are in there.
  • Go into the Northwestern building where you will find Harkuf.
