The side quest Taste of Her Sting in Assassin's Creed Origins takes Bayek on an intriguing investigation into a series of ritualistic murders dedicated to the goddess Serqet. Unlike standard quests that mark every destination clearly on the map, this narrative requires players to explore multiple regions in Egypt to piece together clues. Following the trail of blood and cryptic symbols allows players to uncover the mystery behind these gruesome ceremonies.
Investigating the Initial Murder Sites
Players typically discover this quest when encountering the first ritual site in the Lake Mareotis region or Kanopos Nome. Using Bayek's pulse scan highlights vital clues scattered around the area, including mummified remains and sacred symbols. Each site reveals a pattern where victims were prepared for burial and ritualistically sacrificed under Serqet's sign.
Subsequent investigation sites are located across nearby regions, including Sais and Sapi-Res Ruins. Examining blood trails, sarcophagus lids, and statues of deities like Sobek helps narrow down the cult's movements. Finding all investigation points updates your quest log to pinpoint the cultist hideout.
Locating the Prophet of Serqet
The climax of the quest takes Bayek to a hidden grotto near a ruined temple. Accessing the cave entrance reveals the main culprit, known as the Prophet of Serqet, conducting a profane ceremony. Defeating the prophet and his zealot followers puts an end to the horrific killings across the realm.
Quest Rewards and Completion Tips
Completing Taste of Her Sting grants Bayek a generous amount of experience points to help level up for future adventures. It is recommended to approach the final cave encounter at around level 17 to ensure Bayek can handle the tough combatants inside. Utilizing stealth tactics when entering the lair helps clear out minor guards before engaging the primary target.
