Phylakes

Assassin's Creed Origins, developed by Ubisoft and released in 2017, features a unique challenge known as the Phylakes, who are relentless bounty hunters pursuing the protagonist, Bayak of Siwa. Unlike typical stationary enemies, the Phylakes can appear unexpectedly, creating dynamic encounters that add unpredictability to the game. They are significantly more powerful than the player at the beginning, often leading to swift defeats and forcing players to adopt evasion strategies. As players progress and grow stronger, they can eventually confront the Phylakes, but the initial encounters serve as a humbling reminder of vulnerability in the game.
