Lumberjack Bayek: How to Acquire Wood in Assassin's Creed Origins (Without Resorting to Dramatic Tree-Chopping)
So you want to be a master Medjay? Arrows flying, blades flashing, all while looking fabulous in your ancient Egyptian get-up? But hold on, there's a snag. You need wood. Wood for upgrades, wood for repairs, wood for... well, probably not firewood in this scorching desert. The question is, how do you get your hands on this precious crafting material without turning into a full-fledged lumberjack? Fear not, weary warrior, for this guide will show you the path to wooden enlightenment.
Method 1: Senu to the Rescue (or, Become a Feathered Friend)
Let's be honest, Bayek can't be everywhere at once. That's where Senu, your trusty eagle companion, comes in. Senu's keen eyes can spot wood from a mile away, literally. Here's the plan:
QuickTip: Reflect before moving to the next part.![]()
- Release the Fury (of Feathers): Give Senu a good ol' yeehaw with the up D-pad and take to the skies.
- Wood You Look at That?: Scan the land for icons that resemble little logs. Those, my friend, are your wooden treasure chests.
- Mark it Down: Lock onto the wood with a tap of that magic LT/L2 button and let Senu do the rest. Your birdy buddy will highlight the target, making it a breeze to find.
Method 2: Highway Robbery (But the Ethical Kind)
The open roads of Egypt are bustling with merchants and... well, sometimes not-so-honorable folk. Here's your chance to play Robin Hood (but with less tights):
QuickTip: A quick skim can reveal the main idea fast.![]()
- Eagle Eye on the Loot: Senu can be your best friend again here. Use Senu to scout for groups carrying wood icons.
- Intercept and Interrogate (or Just Intimidate): These folks might be a little grumpy about giving up their precious wood, so be prepared for a fight. Or, if you're feeling charismatic, try intimidating them into handing it over.
Method 3: Shop 'til You Drop (But Maybe Not That Much)
Gold jingling in your pockets? You can always resort to the good ol' fashioned shopping spree. Blacksmiths scattered across the land sell wood, but be warned: this can get pricey if you're looking for a lumberyard's worth of supplies.
QuickTip: Treat each section as a mini-guide.![]()
Method 4: Deconstruction Junction (What is Refashioning in the Making?)
Got a bow collection that rivals Cupid himself? Don't just toss those unwanted weapons aside! Dismantle them and, hey presto, you've got yourself some lovely reclaimed wood.
