- This is the story of
Assassin's Creed Origins
in three minutes.
Let's begin.
Layla Hassan, a scientist
working for Abstergo Industries,
and her friend, Deanna, are sent to Egypt
to retrieve an artifact.
Layla discovers the tomb
of two ancient assassins
and decides to impress her higher-ups
by using a portable Animus
to secure any valuable
information locked in their DNA.
The memories lead her to Bayek,
a Medjay of Siwa Oasis, in 49 B.C.E.
Bayek and his son are
abducted by five masked men
and taken to a secret vault.
They demand Bayek use a
golden orb to open the vault,
but Bayek escapes with the help of his son
and fights the men.
In the struggle, Bayek
accidentally kills his own son.
The masked men escape,
but Bayek and his wife, Aya, vow revenge.
One year later, Bayek catches
up with one of the masked men,
who goes by the code name The Heron.
Bayek kills The Heron in a fight,
then returns to Siwa,
where another masked man, code named Ibis,
has been abusing his
revered status as a priest
to torture citizens for
information on the vault.
Bayek kills The Ibis
and heads to Alexandria,
where Aya has been hunting the bad guys.
She's already killed two
of them while working
with Cleopatra to uncover
the identity of the last,
The Snake, who they believe
to be a man named Eudoros.
Bayek tracks Eudoros to a
bath house and kills him.
With his final breath,
Eudoros claims he had no
part in Bayek's son's death.
Concerned by this revelation,
Bayek decides to go with
Aya to meet Cleopatra.
Cleopatra reveals that she
was forced from her throne
by a group of masked men
who call themselves The
Order of the Ancients.
The Order claims to control all of Egypt
and is much larger than the
five men they've killed.
As it turns out, the man
they believed to be The Snake
was actually The Hippo.
The Snake is the name
members of The Order use
in reference to the organization itself.
Bayek agrees to become Cleopatra's Medjay
in order to help her regain the throne.
While he focuses on hunting down
the remaining members of The Order,
Aya secures allies for Cleopatra
by persuading Pompey the
Great to support her.
Back in the modern world,
Layla and Deanna fail to
check in with the company,
so Abstergo sends a
team to eliminate them.
Deanna is killed, but Layla
manages to use the skills
she learned from Bayek to
take out her attackers.
When the dust settles,
she endeavors to finish Bayek's memories.
Bayek learns two members of The Order,
The Jackal and the Scorpion,
are members of the royal guard.
Bayek tracks down The Jackal
but fails to stop him from killing Pompey.
With Pompey dead,
Cleopatra makes a desperate
move to gain support.
Bayek and Aya sneak her into the palace
to meet Julius Caesar.
The leaders form an alliance,
resulting in the Egyptian Civil War.
During the war, Bayek is able
to find and kill The Scorpion.
Bayek tracks down The Jackal,
but Caesar prevents
Bayek from killing him.
War ends!
Cleopatra takes the throne,
and The Jackal becomes her advisor.
She severs her ties with Bayek and Aya,
confirming she and Caesar
have formed an alliance
with The Order.
Realizing their mistake,
Bayek forms a brotherhood of allies
to begin fighting The Order.
Remembering The Order was interested
in the tomb of Alexander the Great,
Bayek and Aya head to
the tomb to investigate.
Inside they find a dying friend
who warns them the leader of
The Order, known as The Lion,
is Caesar's trusted lieutenant.
The Lion and Jackal swiped a
sphere and staff from the tomb
and are now heading
towards Siwa for the vault.
The couple return to Siwa,
only to find the vault open already.
Bayek tracks down The Lion,
eventually killing him
and thus avenging his son.
Aya plans to travel to Rome
to kill Caesar and The Jackal.
The two part ways.
In Rome, Aya confronts the elusive Jackal.
After a grueling fight,
Aya ends The Jackal once and for all.
She then infiltrates the Roman Senate
and assassinates Caesar.
In the end, Bayek and Aya
recruit and train new members
for their brotherhood,
starting the first two chapters
of the Assassins Brotherhood
in Egypt and Rome,
dedicated to protecting the
common people from the shadows.
In order to complete the memories
and learn the truth about the
Brotherhood and The Order,
Layla wakes up in the real world.
This time the assassin William
Miles is watching over her.
She agrees to work with the Brotherhood
and the pair leave for Alexandria.
And that's the story of
Assassin's Creed Origins
in three minutes.
