Klysma Nome is the first area in Sinai that you arrive in for the Hidden Ones DLC. It's small, but there's a fair amount of stuff to do here if you're interested.
Quest: Howls of the Dead
Suggested: Lv40
Reward: 12000XP
A man playing an instrument says that a necropolis is haunted by those who can't pass into the afterlife properly. As you approach the necropolis, you'll come across an old man too scared to take his wife's body there. Place the body down inside the necropolis when you get there, then find the two treasures to save yourself the trouble later and continue further into the caves. Fight the man responsible for desecrating the tomb to end the quest.
Quest: Rise of Shaqilat
Suggested: Lv39
Reward: 12000XP
Talk to the fellow Hidden One Paanchi to learn about a missing man. Investigate the merchant ships in the harbor to find that he's in a cave in Klysma Quarry. Rescue him and talk to him to learn about a woman who freed the children on the ships in the harbor. Meet her and help her fend off attacking Romans, then convince her to join the Hidden Ones to finish the quest.
Quest: Shadows of the Scarab
Suggested: Lv44
Reward: 20000XP
Shadows of the Scarab, similar to Egypt's Phylakitai bosses, have appeared in Sinai. Kill the two that appear and you'll find a letter among one of them. Their leader, with motives for killing you unknown, is camped out in the desert to the south. Look for an extremely bloody horse that trails to a set of bandits buried in the sand. Just past this to the south is a cave entrance marked with two smoking fires.
Snoop around and look for a slit in the cave leading to a shrine to The Scarab. Pick up the object at the shrine, and you'll be attacked by the man who set it all up. Fight him in unarmed combat and reason with him afterwards to get him to change his ways.
If you finished both this quest and Rise of Shaqilat, you'll get an achievement.
Quest: The Ballad of Si-Mut and Gertha
Suggested: Lv41
Reward: 12000XP
Upon finding a man named Si-Mut digging on the side of the road, he'll ask for you to help him find his treasure. The treasure is hidden in riddles amongst scrolls that he's left around in his journeys. You fortunately don't have to solve these riddles, as the next general location should show up on your map. The Cave of Ur'in is fortunately very small, so it shouldn't take you long to find a tiger skin with the scroll in its mouth.
Next up is the hyena lair east of the eastern viewpoint in Madiama Nome. By a mural of the goddess Nut, you'll find the next scroll in the sand. The fourth is at Reaver's Canyon in Klysma Nome; look for some flammable hay stacked up near a wall at ground level, then burn it and walk inside to find the fourth scroll, which finally tells you the location of the treasure.
Head to the flooded quarry on the road north of Klysma Quarry and you'll find Si-Mut here, who will tell you that he's sunken several jars, one of which has the treasure. Once you find it, give it back to Si-Met and he'll show you to your prize.
Quest: The Killer Shadow
Suggested: Lv42
Reward: 8000XP, Legendary Mount
After convincing Shaqilat to join the Hidden Ones, a piece of paper will detail some information on the plans for slaves brought into the area. Travel deeper into the cave here and fight off two soldiers so you can burn the hay behind them, then talk to one of the child slaves to learn more about the slave master. Kill him and free a child he's moving to finish the quest.
Location: Duat Island
Location: A small island in the water at the southern border.
Objectives: Loot Treasure
The treasure here isn't on the island itself, but instead underwater.
Location: Hyena Lair
Location: Southwest of Operum Tuorum Gemmam Castra
Objectives: Kill Animal
The standard animal den. The challenge is more getting to this place than it is killing the hyenas here.
Location: Klysma Oil Cache
Location: North of Klysma Quarry.
Objectives: Loot Treasure
There are just about three soldiers protecting the oil here. Since the place is full of oil, you could try setting them on fire with it. You probably don't have to, though, because there aren't many enemies to deal with anyways.
Location: Klysma Trireme
Location: Docked north of the Klysma Oil Cache.
Objectives: Loot Treasure
This trireme is guarded by about five soldiers. There's not much else to know about the ship before storming it.
Location: Leopard Lair
Location: North of the viewpoint.
Objectives: Kill Animal
The typical animal lair.
Location: Necropolis
Location: East of the viewpoint.
Objectives: Loot Treasure (x2)
Start the quest Howls of the Dead, which will take you here anyway. One chest is hidden behind a wall of hay, which is in turn hidden behind a rug hanging on the wall. The other is found through a small hole that you'll have to pass under for the quest.
Location: Operum Tuorum Gemmam Castra
Location: South of the viewpoint.
Objectives: Kill Captain, Kill Commander, Loot Treasure (x2)
You'll be coming here as part of the main story. Due to the wide and open space you have to move around in here, you'll probably have to get in a few fights before you can get everything done.
Location: Paratiritirio
Location: Southeast of Operum Tuorum Gemmam Castra
Objectives: Find the nearby hidden Papyrus
To get this scroll, burn down a wooden plank in one of the buildings to find a hidden basement. The puzzle is called Stealthy Shrub.
Location: Reaver's Canyon
Location: Northeast of the viewpoint.
Objectives: Kill Captain, Loot Treasure
A standard bandit hideout. There are lots of cliffsides that you can use to pick the enemies off if you feel like it. Waiting til nighttime should be a big help as well.
Location: Seshat's Grotto
Location: The grotto entrance is west of the two blacksmiths in town.
Objectives: Loot Treasure (x2)
Look on the walls of the cave a small pile of hay you can burn, which leads to a smaller cave with both treasures right next to each other.
Location: Underground Outpost
Location: Northwest of the viewpoint, within Klysma Quarry.
Objectives: Loot Treasure
This a small cave in Klysma Quarry that's guarded by a few enemies in the high Lv30's. Just defeat the enemies inside for an easy treasure chest.
Location: Underwater Quarry
Location: North of Klysma Quarry.
Objectives: Loot Treasure (x2)
There are two simple treasures here. You should be able to get to them without fighting any crocodiles, but the one on land is protected by two snakes.
