The False Oracle is the second quest you'll encounter in Assassin's Creed Origins, which has you tackle assssinate a target for the first time, and follows on from The Oasis.

We'll cover everything you need to know about completing The False Oracle below, while you can head back to our main Assassin's Creed Origins walkthrough and guide hub for all the other missions so far, and more.

The False Oracle

We'd recommend doing a few sidequests before moving on with the story, in particular Gear Up to get yourself some better armour, and Family Reunion as it takes place in the same location as this so will help familiarise you with the lay of the land. We'd also suggest doing it at night time as it makes the whole process much simpler.

Head towards the marker. When you get near you'll be prompted to send Senu out to scout ahead; use him to look for your target.

If it's night Medunamun will be asleep in the small room on the eastern side of the Temple, but during the day he'll be patrolling the grounds. If you've got for the cover of darkness, then climb up the eastern wall and use your bow to take out the guard on the balcony outside then head into the room and catch your quarry unawares.

Our Assassin's Creed Origins walkthrough and guide will take you through every step of the main story and quests, whilst we also have guides on how to grind XP and level up, plus explainers on how Assassin's Creed Origins sidequests work, alongside how to get crafting materials and animal goods, and even complete solutions and walkthroughs to all Assassin's Creed Origins Tombs, Silica, and Anchient Mechanisms. We also have a list of all Papyrus Puzzle locations, Origins' cursed and legendary weapons and how they're acquired, and finally a detailed page Phylakes, Phylakes' Prey and how to get the Black Hood outfit.

Once the flashback starts head towards the marker then send Senu out to mark your target. Take it out with your bow, loot the carcass, then head for the next marker. When you arrive a cutscene will play, followed by a fight that it's intentionally impossible to win.
