Celestial Alignment.

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.
