Phylakitai in the Eye

Master the 'Phylakitai in the Eye' quest in Assassin's Creed Origins. Learn strategies for the Chariot, Canal, and Armory Phylakitai, and get your rewards!

Alright, so you've got this quest called "Phylakitai in the Eye," and it sounds a bit intimidating, but don't sweat it! It's basically a few mini-objectives to take down some tough Phylakitai guards. We'll break down each part so you can get it done smoothly and snag those sweet rewards.

Chariot on the Canopic Way

First up, you'll need to take down a couple of Phylakitai guards riding a chariot. The game will mark their general location for you. Just head down the main street in Alexandria until you spot them. These guys are level 22. The main thing to watch out for here is accidentally drawing the attention of other guards who might be patrolling nearby. If that happens, you might end up fighting more than you bargained for, so try to be quick and stealthy!

Phylakitai in the Canal

This one's pretty chill, honestly. It all comes down to patience. You're looking for a standard two-man boat patrol on Lake Mareotis. They usually travel from the docks west of the Royal Palace, through an underground route, and end up in the waterway west of Akra Garrison. The easiest way to handle this is to head to the docks west of Akra Garrison and just wait for them to sail out. Once they're in a good spot, you can just take out the target guard (he's level 22) with your bow. Easy peasy.

Attacking the Armory

This is probably the trickiest part. The Armory is located southwest of the Royal Palace, near the docks. Thankfully, there's a handy Armory point of interest marker on your map to guide you. When you get there, you'll see these big buildings with open courtyards. Your job is to clear out about half a dozen enemies, including guards who are levels 21-22. Cover is scarce, with only a hay wagon to hide in. Your best bet is to climb onto the buildings and snipe them from above, or use aerial takedowns. However, you'll likely have to get down on the ground eventually. When you do, try to wait until they're separated and have their backs turned, then go for the assassination. Once everyone's down, make sure to loot the chest along the southern wall – it's part of the objectives for this location.

Quest Completion and Rewards

After you've taken care of all three Phylakitai objectives, head back to Phanos. Let him know you've dealt with the threat, and you'll wrap up the "Phylakitai in the Eye" quest. As a reward, you'll get a good chunk of experience points (1,500 XP), the mount **Basus**, and Phanos will be super pleased with you.
