The Binding: Mission Start

Tier 1

Full Tier 1 Video Walkthrough

Objective:  Seek out the unusual visitor.

Walk outside and click the falcon.

The Binding - Falcon

The Falcon Says:  “The High Priest of Amun despairs of his sacrifice.  His hope must be restored.  Mark well the gazes of the gods, even Aten the false.  Where they cross you will find the places where he buried his duty and his shame.”

Objective:  Find part of what the High Priest buried.

Note:  This is a bit of a pain, somewhat hard to explain, so we’ve outlined the coordinates as well as the respective pieces in order to the mission objectives.   There is also a map, which can be seen below, that outlines which statue points which direction and the resulting staff pieces.  

Map Locations for The Binding

1st Piece:  Nefertari The Younger and Hemitneter is looking at the Head Piece  at Coordinates (55,467)

Tier 2

Objective:  Use the Staff of Amun

Use the staff in your inventory 

The Staff,When Used Says… “There is always a hidden center.  The priest buried his staff at the corners because the center is the chamber of eternal sun.  That is where Amun’s staff will reveal the past to you.”

Objective:  Find where to use the Staff of Amun

The clues are that the pieces were located at the ‘corners’ because the ‘center’ is the chamber.. blah blah..

So, looking at the map, we figured it had to be around “The Reformatory” in the middle of the map.  It wasn’t till sprinting through there a few times, resulting in a handful of deaths that we considered looking ‘underground’.

Easily accessed from the north, we, after a recent death noticed it from the “Vulture’s Pass” resurrection point.

Exact place you’re getting to is at Coordinates (408,664)
