I lured the Phylake named Ra's Mercy into a hyena's lair to wear down his health. Using high ground, fire arrows, stealth strikes, and Senu to harass him, I finally eliminated the target to claim a mysterious key. Afterward, I explored the bone-strewn lair to hunt the leader hyena for XP.
Determined to gain a tactical edge, I attempted to lure the formidable Phylake straight into a nearby hyena's lair. The target proved far smarter than I anticipated, backing away carefully before entering the primary nest, forcing me to close the distance to draw his attention once more.
As I moved in, a wild hyena lunged at me, creating a chaotic battle. Repositioning myself, I successfully drew the warrior into the heart of the beast's territory.
Initially, the packs seemed far more interested in attacking me than the giant, prompting me to scramble up a nearby rock formation for safety.
Once I cleared out of reach, the hyenas turned their aggression toward the Phylake, tearing into him while I rained down arrows from my elevated perch to add to their damage.
Sensing my position, the warrior began climbing toward my ledge, forcing me to leap down and relocate to keep him surrounded by the wild beasts. My strategy paid off as the pack swarmed him again, giving me the perfect window to launch fire arrows from afar that set him ablaze.
Eventually, the Phylake cut down every single hyena around him, leaving us in a tense standoff. Seizing the opening while he was wounded, I executed a diving leap attack from above, dealing massive damage but failed to finish his substantial health bar completely.
Knowing one mistake against his massive weapon could mean immediate death after all this progress, I retreated into the stone hills to break his line of sight.
Playing a high-stakes game of hide-and-seek, I commanded Senu to swoop down and harass the Phylake continuously, keeping him disoriented while another stray hyena ambushed him.
After he killed the animal, I sent Senu in again, slipping through shadows behind him to land a devastating stealth strike. Senu kept up the pressure, diving at his face while I circled around in the shadows to land the final, decisive blow that brought him down for good.
Inspecting the body of the defeated warrior, known as Ra's Mercy, I recovered an ornate key carved with the Eye of Horus.
With the primary threat eliminated, I surveyed the bloodstained ground to collect hyena hides, noticing a cow carcass alongside the scattered remains of several humans who had clearly fallen victim to the pack.
Realizing the area carried an unfinished location objective to kill the alpha beast, I pushed deeper into the lair. I eventually located the leader hyena resting among a larger pack of predators, surrounded by even more skeletal remains.
Drawing my weapons once more, I charged into the pack to kill the alpha and claim the bonus experience points for completing the location.
