To increase my level, I used Senu to find a stone circle and completed the Pisces constellation puzzle. Afterward, I headed toward a large boat on the lake, witnessing hippos attack soldiers along the way. My attempt to assassinate the captain failed, forcing an underwater escape before a power outage.
As Bayek's level was not increasing automatically through the main story, I decided to try some side quests like discovering undiscovered locations and completing side quests. I opened the map and looked for nearby activities that would provide the experience needed to face stronger enemies. The desert was vast and full of secrets.
I flew as Senu and started checking around the question marks that should give me good XP, and I found this stone circle. I marked the location and prepared to head there.
I rode a boat towards the stone circle and upon reaching there, I found a symbol made with the circles of stones. I interacted with the location where I had to align the symbol on the sky with the stars.
Bayek was likely talking to his son, sharing a story about the heavens while the stars shifted above. After checking thoroughly, I found it was a Pisces that required a very specific rotation to match the constellation. Once the patterns aligned, a warm glow filled the area, marking the task complete.
After Bayek came back to living and the vision faded, I flew Senu again and I found a big boat on the lake that was an undiscovered location. The vessel looked heavily guarded and full of potential loot. So I decided to go for it next, hoping for a challenge and more rewards.
When I was rowing the boat towards my targeted location, I noticed there are some wild hippos attacking some soldiers on the lake. So I hit their boat with my own, which made the enemy boat drown in the shallow water.
Then I noticed the enemy soldiers were trying to swim back to shore to survive while the hippos were chasing them, which was a cool sight. The predators were fast in the water, giving the guards no room to breathe. I watched the struggle for a moment before continuing my mission toward the larger ship.
I reached my targeted location and I climbed on top of a side of the big boat from where I could see the enemies below. The deck was crawling with archers and deckhands, all unaware of my presence.
I directly went close right above the captain of the boat, whom I threw some sleeping dart to incapacitate him. However, he was not affected much, so plan for a silent capture was ruined.
At last I decided to jump on him and try an air assassination, which didn't do much damage due to his high level. So I had to escape in underwater to avoid the rain of arrows from the crew. But there was a load shedding with my electricity right away, so I had to pause.
I'll show more of my photographic journey of the games soon, so stay tuned to my blog if you liked them.
The screenshots are taken by me personally from my gameplay and I borrowed the game's logo from DevianArt.
