Follow our Assassin's Creed Origins walkthrough for the Cat and Mouse quest. Investigate murders, track down clues, and confront the killer in Cyrene.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Make your way to the Roman baths along the northern end of Cyrene. Head to the western wall to find a window to climb through.
  2. 2
    Clear the Roman soldiers within the baths.
  3. 3
    Return to the upper room in the southwestern corner of the baths. Search the blood stain on the upper floor, then examine the victim’s body on the bottom floor.
  4. 4
    Climb a wall to the north or east and drop down to the baths below. Enter the lower room in the southeastern corner of the baths to find the body. Investigate the corpse to find the note "On the Usurer Paulus Aurelius."
  5. 5
    Loot a chest behind a statue overlooking a bath along the northern end of the bath house. Exit the building via the window you used to enter.
  6. 6
    Summon Senu and send the bird northwest to locate Metrobius at the Theater of Apollo along the northwestern edge of Cyrene.
  7. 7
    Kill the lion at the theater (you can shoot it from the stage at the eastern end). Inspect Metrobius’ mangled corpse to find the note "On the Pickled Ham Metrobius."
  8. 8
    Go to the brothel along the southeastern edge of Cyrene. Examine a body by a fountain to obtain the note "On my father the Whorer Akakios."
  9. 9
    Make your way through the doorway to the west. Confront and kill Vesta.
  10. 10
    Confirm your kill to obtain the note "On Vesta’s Son Oidipous."
  11. 11
    Return to Sminthos (near the Temple of Zeus, to the north) to complete this quest.
Tips
  • The soldiers in the baths are weak and there are many opportunities to use heights for stealthy takedowns.
  • You can shoot the lion from the stage at the eastern end of the Theater of Apollo.
  • Vesta fights with dual swords and has a moderate amount of health.
  • 3,000 XP
