Using a camel for advantage, I cleared multiple groups and a pack of hyenas. Flying high as Senu revealed vast lands to explore. I later ventured into the Tomb of Menkaure, solved a hidden passage puzzle, and discovered ancient writings. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmNTt4uxJEjrV8FGTyXPzERLjX1veDY7yng96MDQxqv7md/ac_origins_1_.jpg) After some failed attempts against the bandits around the desert, I decided to go slow. I noticed a pack of wild hyenas there that I could fight but I ignored them. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmUs1ke7Fi1EY1QkJxy4MtuLeW77kxvRNCk1M7YnTx1XHz/ac_origins_2_.jpg) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmXsgx6sAGMhke2M54jGtFiNiuiMTgF3oZmz4Ac8uuH5Ge/ac_origins_3_.jpg) I left the desert behind as I noticed the bandits were not there, they were riding around a village nearby. When I attacked the last one from a group, the others joined the fight and that's when I was trying to take down one of their leaders. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmVcjAwTXT1VwrDNyy32HXZ9n5YaWDLG18E5jKW3A1qM9b/ac_origins_4_.jpg) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmZkdwrkawHW2yWsQt92P543ED9WnvAR3uVXLngKaYgiyX/ac_origins_5_.jpg) The leader didn't die but I was about to so I ran away and climbed the hills of Depleted Quarry Hideout, where the enemy leader followed me and I took him down there after regaining some health. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmaDMsEABgnvK6CDXpfTpuApDTKs351KSfqsprD9eZ7KSV/ac_origins_6_.jpg) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmbLbDhNUHuGtN1qPviFS6GWxSAqcj2JjMG4QudHLNrwAD/ac_origins_7_.jpg) Then I mounted a camel there and ran towards another group of bandit. I killed two of them without getting off the camel but the bandit leader grabbed me down and I killed her with arrow shots. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmYtT828LLrzY85hTGXM1FnfyMQhGtTBR1mHR8WppjDHS6/ac_origins_8_.jpg) When I just shot down the bandit leader, this bandit from a camp noticed it and was running towards me. I climbed up on a wall and then I jumped on him for a leap attack. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmVTkN4TeQDbDH87GnGEP5GepTebKAr4XRBJpWYy1kK5VA/ac_origins_9_.jpg) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmS9kf3gLziKhv8CeT4CrtUDGgAWYFaam4J1j9XkNT24nC/ac_origins_10_.jpg) It seemed like fighting from the camel gives my character a chance to lose less health so I got back on it and I rode to the desert again s I noticed there was a group of bandit riding around. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmRS9djMzhbUqnmyPuhcmckRAW2pBmmqyCAWRMRKEadYSR/ac_origins_11_.jpg) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmdmX1iiNkXCNeUZQ4d92iu8gvjny693hmqywnaCxwsUzu/ac_origins_12_.jpg) After reaching the group, I started attacking them. There was a pack of hyena as well that was attacking both me and the bandits. I kept attacking the bandits first leaving the animals for later deal. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmYASpzhXkgKhVzXdtWhwQJHrt8b2PG6W7D4u7LiYCAHpQ/ac_origins_13_.jpg) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmfLrdK4Tkfmrr9vvjwBVzLMbs9NvbXudUw42xvfvdyASx/ac_origins_14_.jpg) I didn't get off the camel, I took down all the bandits from the camel and it was easier. Then I was going for the hyenas. There were a lot of them in counts but I made sure to take all of them down. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmVVKQ1xeBYHNJGJw36cvAkAAnAYZLbTWkrx4JzikgT7mq/ac_origins_15_.jpg) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmUuDQg4WF1cWCqDs9kjLhagCRopKtowe3dYWZSDH2eDpF/ac_origins_17_.jpg) Then I flew as Senu and I boosted her as high as I could and this is the first time I flew this higher. It seemed like there are a lot of lands to explore. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmaEgLVviounsaycLbcehWhBZYbDMz3JTpQJu6JSLEudxW/ac_origins_18_.jpg) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmaFAKJnvByUJqNR5NR5DzKh1H7wosERDV4zpxyTtrH16P/ac_origins_19_.jpg) I at last decided to give the last pyramid a visit as I didn't see any more bandits around. So, after getting to the pyramid, I was going inside it and found its Tomb of Menkaure. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmZycvRjnqULB58S6StLt45DokFipdAKTPaHGDfx2ZHc9s/ac_origins_20_.jpg) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmNWRBuzcXmBk6adSWGURyrqac5kTxpaXrterHsw9rczCY/ac_origins_21_.jpg) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmerox5NqYDiNTy5MxL9y5TGzDMkVRKaGjaP1Kf4uMmvDi/ac_origins_22_.jpg) I had to find the ancient tablet but all I found was a big tomb and a dead end. I looked around for sometimes but didn't find an alternative way. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmcJSL4qJXdtKAyTzx5hHCP982Gg3jkx5Eodud8oofi91T/ac_origins_23_.jpg) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmSaLyswmGiz3hLwqZhFUbZ2NPRxB6Pc5s9MpEtjqDjkQo/ac_origins_24_.jpg) After trying for sometimes, I noticed there was a blocked hole above where I shot and I got an opening that lead me to the tablet and I found the ancient writing from the Old Kingdom. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmTgjAWuc4iRAztL8HiAUyZKM9WzJei6SghRLQdng76Sxx/ac_origins_25_.jpg) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQme6iaF3jNHe5CVmdcgcAG1iiGDZC94VCexE5YZDQ3e6BK/ac_origins_26_.jpg) As my task there was done, I came out of the pyramid and it was the other side. I've been thinking about going for the main quest only but now I'm thinking of checking on each and every side quests that lies in the game. --- I'll show more of my photographic journey of the games soon, so stay tuned to my blog if you liked them. ![23tRvMuLRERuPePNhyEjtaKt46FiKwDBgwVqqAberwmEFA36fPkh2ad6wvB1RYNKTVezR.png](https://images.hive.blog/0x0/https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/gamingphoto/23tRvMuLRERuPePNhyEjtaKt46FiKwDBgwVqqAberwmEFA36fPkh2ad6wvB1RYNKTVezR.png) The screenshots are taken by me personally from my gameplay and I borrowed the game's logo from [DevianArt](https://www.deviantart.com/).
