Assassin’s Creed Origins: Story and Ending Summary

A lot happens in Alexandria, much of it which starts leading to the first signs of the assassins we’ve come to know and love. Upon reaching Alexandria and meeting with Aya’s friends and family, who are forced to keep things hush hush, Bayek is finally reunited with his bride. If you were expecting some meek woman, you’re in for a surprise. When you first meet Aya she’s decked out in her warrior garb and hiding in a secret library after having taken out the Vulture, Actaeon, and the Ram, Ktesos, in Alexandria. She’s not afraid to get her hands dirty, and in some ways is better at it than even Bayek. She has some information for her husband, and a new tool.

Aya serves as a close aide to queen Cleopatra who was dethroned by her brother Ptolemy. Cleopatra has Aya working in the shadows to help her regain her throne and, by extension, save Egypt from the strife it currently faces. To that end, she’s provided Aya with a gift, the famed hidden blade. Aya gives one to Bayek as he sets out for the royal scribe Eudoros who they believe to be the snake.

Bayek finds him in the bathhouse and kills him without anyone realizing he was even there (or recklessly if you prefer). During the struggle, Bayek loses his left ring finger, which begins the tradition of initiates giving up their finger. It’s extreme, but it was necessary as it allowed the blade to extend without restriction. Don’t worry though, eventually it was modified to no longer be necessary, with some assassins opting to brand their finger as part of the ceremony rather than hack it off.

After the assassination, it’s time for Bayek to finally meet Cleopatra, who has a request and some important news for our hero.

Cleopatra and the Snake’s Many Heads

Assassin’s Creed Origins: Story and Ending Summary

After taking out Eudoros, Cleopatra thanks Bayek and Aya for their service, but also informs them that there is more to do. You see, Eudoros wasn’t the Snake. In fact, no single person is the Snake. It is a many-headed beast known as the Order of the Ancients. This group is made up of various key individuals who each represent a different creature. Eudoros was the Hippo, and he wasn’t the one responsible for the death of Bayek’s son, at least not exclusively responsible. Cleopatra has caught wind of four more targets that are tormenting Egypt and stand in the way of her reclaiming her throne and pulling Egypt out of this dark period.

They are the Lizard, the Crocodile, the Hyena, and the Scarab, and they each hold influence over specific regions of Egypt. In order to obtain justice for their son and help the nation as a whole, Bayek and Aya agree to hunt these targets down. Before they set out, Cleopatra restores Bayek’s title of Medjay and hands him a new badge. He’s back to being a protector of Egypt and this time for the true Pharoah, Cleopatra.
