The Final Weighing was a virtual representation of one of Bayek's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan through the Portable Animus HR-8.

Description

Bayek and Aya journey to Siwa on the trail of Flavius the Oracle's Relic.

Dialogue

Bayek and Aya rode into an eerily quiet Siwa.

• Aya: Completely silent. The animals, too.
• Bayek: Some sort of plague has hit the village.
• Aya: That viper Flavius did this.
• Bayek: We should have ripped out his entrails long before now. Let us get to the vault.
• Aya: Roman soldiers.
• Bayek: Must be Flavius's men.
• Soldier: Take those intruders down!

The soldiers are dealt with quickly, and the two continued on their way.

• Aya: It was Flavius all along. He brought Caesar and the Romans here, hoping to take complete power.
• Bayek: Rabiah! What happened here?
• Rabiah: Quickly... Hepzefa... The vault!
• Bayek: Rabiah, we will come back to you when we can.
  We trusted him. We were fools.

The pair neared the vault, where soldiers spotted them.

• Soldier: Intruders! Attack!

Fighting their way through soldiers, they gained entry to the underground vault.

• Aya: Bayek there is trouble ahead.
• Soldier: The vault is opening! Run for over!
• Aya: Look! The vault!
• Bayek: They're frightened of the opening door.
• Aya: They're running!
  Careful. We don't know what's in there.
• Bayek: We must find out what happened.

As they descended deeper past the open door, they saw a large, golden globe.

• Aya: Bayek. Are we dreaming?
• Bayek: We have entered the Duat.
• Aya: Who could imagine such a land as this?
• Bayek: No man should approach this close to the gods.
• Aya: Who created this? The gods themselves? Ah! Here is the story of mankind... Bayek? Bayek.

Bayek found Hepzefa's body, overcome with grief.

• Bayek: It is Hepzefa. Oh, my seni. Your life is done here in the desert dust. They took my closest friend.
• Aya: We must rush to stop Flavius.
• Bayek: No! We cannot leave him here. He deserves a proper farewell.

He rose, taking Hepzefa in his arms.

• Aya: Go ahead, Bayek. I am with you.
• Bayek: Hepzefa knew nothing of the Order. There was no cause for him to be killed. Flavius ripped out his heart as a message to me. It was he who killed Khemu.
• Aya: My husband, we will end this.

Outside the vault Bayek found Rabiah.

• Bayek: Rabiah.
• Rabiah: I saw what happened. It was horrible. The Roman leaders entered the temple vault.
• Aya: Septimius and Flavius.
• Rabiah: The objects they carried opened it as if by a god's hand. Hepzefa tried to stop them, but they rendered him helpless. They entered the vault, a blue fire seemed to emerge. I fled to no avail. The entire village lost its reason and fell to the ground like dolls.
• Villager 1: They have destroyed Siwa.
• Villager 2: They must die!
• Villager 1: You must put an end to this!
• Rabiah: Bayek. Aya. You have the prayers o the entire village to support you.
• Bayek: Let us bring Hepzefa to his rest. Then we will seek justice.

Hepzefa's funeral took place later that evening.

• Officiant: Let the embalmers come. We pray Anubis accept this ornament in place of his heart, such that Hepzefa may walk free in the Field of Reeds.
• Bayek: Hepzefa, old friend. I miss our talks, Hepzefa. And drinking beer! Siwa needs you, Hepzefa. Hepzefa. Where are you now, my friend? Walking in the Field of Reeds? Hepzefa. I could use your help now, seni.
• Rabiah: Bayek, Hepzefa would have wanted you to have this. The weapon he prized above all others.
• Bayek: I am honored.

Bayek made his way to Aya, who stood in front of where their son was buried.

• Aya: Some villagers captured a Roman soldier and questioned him. Flavius is headed for Cyrene and Septimius for Alexandria.
• Bayek: I will kill Flavius.
• Aya: There is a farm at the border of Cyrene. Someone there may have seen Flavius pass through. As for me, I will cut out the heart of Septimius.
• Bayek: I feel as though wherever we go, tragedy follows. Perhaps we should come to terms...
• Aya: It is hard. I don't want to let go but...
• Bayek: Every time I think of you I think of Khemu and everything we lost.
• Aya: Me too. So for now. We kill.
• Bayek: Farewell Aya.

Bayek knelt.

• Bayek: It has been too long, son.

Departing Siwa, Bayek rode for Cyrene.

• Bayek: Flavius will not escape me again. Flavius will not stop until he reaches Rome. I just don't give a nek anymore. Nothing will stop me. I cannot stop until Flavius's heart is in my fist.

Bayek rode into the valley.

• Bayek: A lush land of pastures and fields. Trampled on by Roman occupation. This must be the farm Aya spoke of. Someone must have seen the Lion pass through.

At the farm, a slave is about to be killed. A woman rushed to his aid.

• Woman: Stop Mereruka! I beg you.

He ignored her, pushing her aside to behead the man. Angered, she reacted by setting the others free.

• Woman: By my sacred oath. Forgive me!

She killed Mereruka, then spun around as she sensed Bayek's approach. They struggled.

• Bayek: Peace, I am not your enemy.
• Woman: I am sorry, it is just... He was such a gentle soul, once had me treat a wounded dog he had caught in a snare... Why would he do this?
• Bayek: I have seen this before, in Siwa. I'm looking for the soul-eater responsible. Flavius.
• Woman: The proconsul?
• Bayek: That sack of rancid goat shit murdered my son, razed my village and now marches through your land with the light of Amun-Ra... Come, let us search the farm, look for survivors. I am Bayek of Siwa.
• Woman: Praxilla, of this land gone mad.

Bayek and Praxilla began to search for survivors.

• Praxilla: Why would Flavius do this? They are just poor Siwan farmers.

Bayek discovered several cart tracks.

• Bayek: Fresh cart tracks and footprints.
• Praxilla: The Romans habe threatened to take the farmers to the Citadel before.
• Bayek: Why?
• Praxilla: To work on weapons, fortifications, General Agrippa's orders.

Bayek and Praxilla discovered a deceased farmer's body.

• Praxilla: The Cruelty Flavius inflicted here, it sickens me.
• Bayek: He will not stop till he reaches Rome. Then it too will fall before hid godless ambition.

The two encountered several soldiers and defeated them. They entered a nearby house where they discovered a body.

• Praxilla: There must be someone left alive, women... children?
• Bayek: Perhaps someone is hiding?

Bayek and Praxilla made their up to the second floor balcony where the found an old lady.

• Praxilla: Nenet! Are you alright? What happened here?
• Nenet: Redcloaks and that milksop with the Lion's head. Took anyone who could work, farmlands, my son Kade. Everyone. Then He came. Dark eyes, hooded as a raven. I wanted to throw stones to shoo him off. Something golden, bright in his claws. Help it up, crowing as they fell before. Some by their own hands, others by those dearest to them. Against nature. Everyone crying, screaming, running, dying.
• Bayek: How did you es-
• Nenet: No one sees poor Nenet, an old woman's husk with clouded eyes. But I saw them. Did'nt cry out. Bit my tongue 'til I choked on the blood.
• Praxilla: The men who did this... We will find them.
• Nenet: Better hurry, girl. Raven flew north to the home of the huntress, overheard redcloaks squawking. Bring Kade back to me?
• Bayek: I will try. Flavius also robbed me of my boy.
• Praxilla: Let us bring Nenet to my cart.

Bayek began to escort Praxilla and Nenet to the cart.

• Praxilla: Will you follow Flavius?
• Bayek: I must.
• Praxilla: For your son?
• Bayek: For every son.
• Praxilla: You must miss him very much?
• Bayek: All my waking and sleeping hours.
• Praxilla: You will see him again in The Field of Reeds.
• Bayek: Nenet spoke of the home of the huntress?
• Praxilla: Yes, Cyrene, the shining porticos of Roman conquest. It is north of here.
• Bayek: If Flavius is there, I will find him and destroy every fiber of his ka.

The three of them arrived at the cart.

• Praxilla: When you arrive in Cyrene, look for my friend Diocles. I would trust him with my life, and yours. As a magistrate he hears petitioners in the Agora... Give him this.

Praxilla handed a ring to Bayek:

• Bayek: I hope this heals the madness in this land.
• Praxilla: I pray you get the justice you seek, Bayek.
• Bayek: Why would they take Nenet's son Kade?
• Praxilla: The Citadel casts a long shadow over Cyrenaica. There are rumors that General Agirppa and Flavius are preparing for war.
• Bayek: Against Egypt?
• Praxilla: Do you doubt their ambition?
• Bayek: No. They won't stop until I stop them.
• Praxilla: I will bring Nenet to my clinic in Balagrae, south of the Temple of Aesclepius. Though that place has troubles enough.
• Bayek: I will find you if I can.

Bayek continued on his journey to Cyrene.
