Complete Walkthrough: Step-by-Step
Step 1: Travel to AlUla Cemetery From the Traveler’s Camp in Southern Wilds, head west toward the AlUla Cemetery. Once you arrive, you’ll meet Dervis who sets Basim on his mission to locate his father’s tomb among the many graves.
Step 2: Find the Correct Tomb The cemetery is filled with numerous tombs, but you don’t need to inspect them all. Navigate to the northern segment of the cemetery and use Enkidu (Eagle Vision) to scan the area. Look for the highlighted tomb matching the description—inspecting it triggers a cutscene where Basim and Dervis meet a woman named Hind.
Step 3: Escort Hind Home After the cutscene, accompany Hind toward her residence. As you approach, you’ll discover robbers have infiltrated her home, creating your first combat scenario in the expansion.
Step 4: Rescue the Servant (Optional but Time-Sensitive) This optional objective is highly recommended because failing to complete it quickly results in the servant’s execution. Here’s the optimal approach:
- Call Enkidu immediately (B on PC / D-Pad Up on controller)
- Scout the area shown in your objective marker to locate the servant
- Enter from the northeast side and hide in the bushes
- Two robbers guard the servant—silently assassinate the unaware target first
- Execute a chain assassination to eliminate both guards simultaneously
Step 5: Retrieve the Portrait Your primary objective is collecting a portrait from a locked chest inside Hind’s home. After rescuing the servant (or if you skip it), infiltrate the house stealthily or through direct combat. Locate the chest, unlock it, and retrieve the portrait to complete the quest.
Pro Tips for Success
Prioritize rescuing the servant first since robbers will execute them if you take too long collecting the portrait. Use stealth approaches whenever possible—Valley of Memory introduces tougher enemy types, making direct combat riskier. Enkidu is your best friend for scouting enemy positions before engaging.

FAQs
Q: Do I need to complete the main game before accessing The Ones Who Remain?
A: No, but you need to reach “The Head of the Snake” mission in the base game. Alternatively, start a new game from the main menu and select “Skip to Valley of Memory” to jump straight into the expansion with auto-leveled gear and skills.
Q: What happens if I fail to save the servant in time?
A: The quest continues normally, but you miss the optional objective completion. While not required for progression, saving the servant adds narrative depth and demonstrates Basim’s compassion. For completionists, replaying missions is now possible in update 1.1.0, allowing you to retry for full completion.
