Explore the Tomb of Djoser and the Tomb of Sneferu in Assassin's Creed Origins' Saqqara Nome. Find hidden passages, Silica, and powerful artifacts with this guide.
Alright, let's dive into the Saqqara Nome region in Assassin's Creed Origins. This area has some cool spots to check out, mainly two tombs packed with secrets and loot. We'll cover the Tomb of Djoser and the Tomb of Sneferu, so get ready to do some exploring!
Tomb of Djoser
First up, head northeast of Nitria town. You'll spot the Tomb of Djoser, and hey, there's a fast travel point right on top, handy!
Okay, so once you're at the step pyramid, descend to the northern side. Look for two sphinxes chilling between some brick walls on the very northern edge of the ruins – that's your cue to find a passage leading underground.
Follow a sandy slope down until you hit a passage heading east. It looks pretty well-stocked, so make your way along it. You'll find a rack you can slide over; push it aside to reveal a tunnel that goes deeper. Keep going until you're on flat ground, then head south. You'll need to slide under a rickety wall to get into a dead-end tunnel. Look around here, there's some Silica on the ground for you.
Slide back out and turn west. Go down another slope, jump over a rock, and then head south again, descending another ramp. You'll reach a tunnel running east. Turn west here, and you'll find a crack in the wall. Peek through it – it leads to a chamber full of big urns.
In this urn chamber, turn south and slide another rack out of the way to open up a passage. Jump over a stone that was behind the rack you just moved, turn west, and loot a big red chest. Then, head back to that urn-filled room.
Now, in the northwestern corner of the urn room, smash the jars. You'll find a hole near the floor. Slide through it! Turn east, and you'll find another red chest and some Silica. Then, turn north to find a small white chest next to an onyx bust. Loot everything in this little nook.
Slide back through the hole, then head back to the eastern tunnel by sliding through another crack in the wall. Make your way east again until you reach another chamber. Grab the Silica in the middle of the room. Now, look for a weak section of wall to the east and smash through it. This opens up a hallway that used to be fancy, with green panels. Follow it east, then north. You'll find some more urns to smash – watch out for a cobra hiding in there! Behind them is a large red chest. Loot it up!
From the red chest, take a short passage east, then turn north to find another rack. Smash the urns behind this rack – don't worry, you can swing through the gap they leave. Push the rack back to reveal a white chest. Loot it.
Turn back south, past where the rack was, and keep going south. Follow the hallway as it turns east, then north. When you're heading north, keep an eye on the west side. You'll see some breakable walls. One has a sturdier wall behind it, another has some nice linens, and behind the third one? That's where you'll find the Ancient Tablet. Grab it!
With the tablet in hand, leave the room and head north, then west, and north again to find another piece of Silica. Grab it, and then you can make your way out of the tomb the way you came in.
Tomb of Sneferu
Next up is the Tomb of Sneferu. You'll find it north of the Bent Pyramid of Sneferu. This one also holds an artifact for you.
Head to the northern end of the pyramid and climb up its side until you find a hole leading inside. Drop down and follow a ramp into the tomb's depths. You'll need to slide under a hole in the wall to get into a small chamber. There's not much here except a torch you can light.
After lighting the torch, climb the wall to the south. It's a dead-end, but you'll find a depression with a chunk of Silica in it. Grab it, then head back to the torch chamber. Look for a secret panel on the west wall – you can pass right through it.
Continue west and slide down a slope. You'll end up on some wooden platforms over water. Stay on the platforms – there's nothing interesting in the water. Jump across to a wooden platform on the west side, then go up a wooden ramp. Light a torch near a doorway, then pass through it and the tunnel beyond. You'll then drop down a pit and slide under another hole in the wall to the west. This chamber is where you'll find your first counterweight puzzle.
Light a torch to the north, then drop down a ledge to the west. You're now in the main part of the puzzle chamber. There are two counterweight platforms: one on the eastern edge near the ledge you just dropped from, and another to the west. Before you mess with the puzzle, grab some Silica from a table to the south.
Now for the puzzle. Climb back onto the eastern ledge and grab a roll of rope. Walk from the stone ledge onto the easternmost platform and drop the rope weight. Once that's done, head west. You'll see a statue encased in scaffolding. Push it – it should be heavy enough to balance Bayek's weight. Now, go to the western platform. Use another pair of scaffold-covered statues to get a boost onto the nearby platform, then climb the western wall to enter a passage.
Smash some urns blocking your path (don't worry, no cobras this time!) and enter the chamber beyond. To the southwest, there's a platform with an urn on it. To the northwest, you'll find a platform with three rolls of rope. Go to the platform with the urn, smash it. This should cause the weights on the other platform to rise, lifting you up so you can reach a ledge. Up here, you'll find another piece of Silica and a large red chest to loot.
Drop back down to where the weighted platform is now on the floor. Grab a roll of rope from it and enter a chamber to the south. Here you'll find two more platforms. Use some scaffolding near the northernmost platform (the one closest to the door) to get on top of it, then place your roll of rope there. You'll need to add two more rolls of rope to this platform. After that, focus on the southernmost platform in this room. Grab another piece of Silica from the ground to the west, then use some scaffolding...
