I played a new side mission today to quickly increase Bayek's level. The mission was called "Water Rats". The main story of this mission is that some bandits have taken over a cave. The people of the surrounding village get fresh water from that cave. But the bandits are taking over the cave and demanding extra money from the farmers for water. Our job is to drive out the bandits and open the cave again for everyone.
First, I have to find the Amanai Cave. I ride a horse and head towards the mountains. Before, my ride was a camel, but now I am using a legendary Roman horse. The horse runs much faster than a camel, so the journey has become easier.
The mountains were visible from a distance. This mountain was the source of water. When I reached there, I used my pet eagle Senu. Senu flew into the sky and quickly found the exact location of the cave. After marking the place, I reached there.
A farmer was sitting outside the cave. He was very scared and did not dare to go inside. He spoke softly so that the bandits would not hear. Bayek reassured him, “You wait here, I will take care of everything.” Then Bayek quietly entered the cave.
Once inside, I hid behind a bush. After a while, as the bandit leader passed by, I grabbed him from behind and strangled him to death. The attack was silent and quick.
Then I went further in and saw two bandits standing together, talking. I waited for the right moment. Suddenly, one of them came down and I grabbed him and threw him to the ground. It was like a wrestling match. 😅
But the problem is when two more bandits get alerted after seeing the body of their dead leader. They start looking for who attacked. Then I use the legendary fire arrow. I shoot arrows at both of them. That completely drains their health. I was surprised that it was possible to defeat both of them at once.
Then I targeted another bandit above. I ran up and had a brief sword fight with him and finally killed him.
There were a few more bandits below. They didn't understand anything. I shot arrows at them from above. They came up wounded, but their strength had diminished. Bayek quickly defeated everyone with a sword strike. This cleared the cave of bandits and the mission was completed.
After the mission was over, Bayek's XP increased to level 4 and he gained a new ability point. But I didn't leave right away. The location objective was to find three treasures inside the cave. Looting them gives you extra XP and coins. I went around collecting all three treasures and got a good amount of rewards.
When I came out of the cave, I met the previous farmer again. He was very happy and thanked Bayek. Now they could farm using free water.
When I came out, I found myself standing on a high mountain. The view of Siwa from there was very beautiful. I stood there for a while and enjoyed the view. But in the end, I did something funny. I jumped off the mountain with my horse. I thought the horse might stop, but he jumped without any hesitation. The incident was really funny. 😂
