Of course, you can also engage these enemies in combat, and as a matter of fact the game will remind you every now and then that “A Pharaoh’s Shadow has arisen”, marking its location on your map, and letting you help the beleaguered people of Thebes take these down. These are imposing, high-level enemies with powerful weapons which take quite a bit of effort to defeat, and it sure is a spectacular sight to see a group of soldiers taking these head on. And after paying a visit to an attractive priestess, Bayek discovers the source of this calamity: the citizens of Thebes have been stealing relics from the their tombs, something which has apparently made the pharaohs mad…Įarly on, you get to witness the citizens of Thebes fighting a Pharaoh’s Shadow, which are physical manifestations of the pharaohs in the real world. You see, pharaohs have arisen from amongst the dead, and are now wreaking havoc in ancient Egypt. Leaving behind the struggle between the Hidden Ones (the first Assassins) and the Order of the Ancients (an early version of the Templar order) Curse of the Pharaohs sees Bayek travel to the Egyptian region of Thebes, in which strange events are going on.
And unlike earlier expansions for Assassin’s Creed games, this takes a turn for the supernatural, while also going above and beyond what was offered in the main game, and is surely one of the best expansions released for a video game in the last couple of years. Unlike the first expansion, though, this Curse of the Pharaohs DLC offers a self-contained story, and is not a continuation of the events which began in the main game. And earlier this year, Ubisoft put out a first expansion for the game, which is now followed by a second major expansion – titled The Curse of the Pharaohs – which wraps up protagonist Bayek’s adventures in ancient Egypt. With the curse ended, Bayek handes over the relic to Sutekh to bury it where no one would ever find it.Assassin’s Creed Origins surely delighted many fans of the franchise last year, thanks to its great gameplay, good story and interesting new protagonist.
He followed her to the Tutankhamun's tomb, where she was performing a ritual with a number of Ramesses' descendants, including Sutekh, and assassinated her. In the tomb, Bayek investigated the clues and discovered the relic had been passed into the care of the priests of Amun, indicating that Isidora had the relic all along, and therefore was the one who conjured the curse to avenge her mother, who was murdered by tomb robbers when she was trying to stop them. Tahemet instructed Bayek to investigate the tomb for the answers he sought. She informs Bayek of rumors of a relic stolen from an unknown Pharaoh’s tomb which some say is the cause of the curse, and to seek counsel of the High Priestess and God's Wife of Amun Isidora at the Temple of Karnak.Īfter some investigation and even journeys into visions of the pharaohs' afterlives, Bayek defeated Nefertiti in her afterlife of Aaru and Akhenaten in Aten, allowing their souls to return to rest.Īt the Necropolis, he encountered Tahemet arguing with Isidora, who left after a warning to her about desecrating the tombs of their mothers. After engaging and defeating the aparition, Bayek meets Amunet’s contact Merti in Luxor for information. Moments later he witnesses an apparition of Nefertiti attacking the people nearby. Arriving in the city, he is welcomed by a red-haired Egyptian, Sutekh. Four years after the formation of the Hidden Ones, Bayek receives a letter of Amunet, asking him to investigate rumors about a relic in Thebes.
