Walkthrough
- 1To start the quest “Blood in the Water,” intercept Thutmose’s river boat as it sails around the northwestern island of Memphis. Board his ship and speak with him.
- 2Thutmose explains he’s been hired to kill crocodiles but someone is luring them with blood. He offers to split the pay 50/50 if you help.
- 3Dismount the boat and head to the pier east of the Palace of Apries.
- 4Eliminate the approximately six crocodiles in the water and around the pier. Use broken pillars as platforms to avoid being stunlock by multiple crocodiles.
- 5After killing the crocodiles, swim north of the pier and west to find a cave leading under the palace.
- 6Enter the cave and swim through the underwater passage to find Thutmose.
- 7If it is not night, rest until nightfall. Talk to Thutmose, who reveals he saw two culprits fleeing.
- 8Two quest markers will appear. Head to the eastern marker first, located in the northeastern part of the city. Use Senu to spot the target's boat and hunt them down. You can use a boat or run along the shore.
- 9If you have “On Fire” weapons, you can shoot their ship to force them into the crocodile-infested waters.
- 10Kill the first target and confirm the kill.
- 11Head back towards the palace to find the second conspirator sailing on a boat in the waterways near the palace.
- 12Use Senu to locate the second target and confirm the kill.
- 13After confirming the second kill, you will find a letter implicating The Lizard.
