This page contains spoilers to the plots of Fall of the Trident.

Kemsyt is a major villain in the Fall of the Trident campaign in Age of Mythology.

Abilities[]

  • Sacred Hands (Passive): Can pick up Relics and deposit them at a Temple.
  • Divine Immunity (Passive): Cannot be targeted by enemy god powers.
  • Regeneration (Passive): Regenerates hit points at 1.0/second.

If his hit points are emptied, he is simply knocked out and can be revived if approached by friendly units.

Greece[]

Kemsyt is originally sent by Gargarensis to the city of Ioklos, where he leads a group of bandits in taking the people of the city, including Chiron, prisoner. He then enslaves some of them, and forces them to dig up an Underworld Passage.

Egypt[]

Kemsyt leads a band of Egyptian raiders, and is the archenemy of Amanra. He is said to be shrewd and cunning, and not inclined to put himself in danger. He is one of the two main mortal allies of Gargarensis and works with him to prevent the god Osiris from being resurrected.

Norselands[]

After the heroes succeed in reviving the dead Osiris, Kemsyt flees with Gargarensis to the Norselands. When the Tartarus Gate in Niflheim was sealed, Skult placed a spell on Kemsyt, making him look like Gargarensis.

Kemsyt leads the remainder of Gargarensis's Norse allies against the heroes, but is beaten by the timely arrival of Odysseus and several Greek soldiers. Once he's captured, Ajax beheads the disguised Kemsyt. Upon their journey back to Atlantis, the heroes discover that they have beheaded Kemsyt when a soldier removes his head from a box, intending to lash it to the bow upon their entering Atlantis's harbor.

Changelog[]

Age of Mythology[]

  • Kemsyt has the unit type "AbstractInfantry" and can be thrown by Ajax (Campaign version).
  • His recover animation is not used, and he does not have the death message "A hero has fallen" nor the hero soul on his death.

The Titans[]

  • Because of the unit type "AbstractInfantry", he can be thrown by Kastor (Adult) and Ajax' older version.

Extended Edition[]

  • With patch Patch 2.0, his recover animation is used, and he has the death message "A hero has fallen."

Age of Mythology: Tale of the Dragon[]

  • Because of the unit type "AbstractInfantry", he can be thrown by Shun.

Retold[]

  • He has the hero soul on his death, and no longer has the unit type "AbstractInfantry", thus no longer being thrown by Kastor (Adult) and both Ajax' versions.

Mythology[]

โ€œ Age -- 32
Homeland -- Karnak
Occupation -- Bandit and assassin

Worshipper of Set, desert shadow, poisoner and assassin - Kemsyt is a deadly enemy and a loyal ally. Kemsyt hungers for power but lacks the strength to inspire and lead others. Still, his network of information and resources more than make up for his wheedling nature and cowardice. Kemsyt and Amanra are old enemies who have fought many times, but Kemsyt has always managed to escape.

Trivia[]

  • In the beta, Kemsyt's name was originally intended to be named "Shaba Ka". However, he was renamed because it did not fit the time era of Age of Mythology.
  • He has the same age as Amanra.
  • He appears to be fighting using some sort of scimitar-like blade. A less anachronistic, and more realistic choice would be a sicklesword (khopesh).
  • Despite his mythology section stating he is a worshipper of Set, in some campaign scenarios, he worships Isis, namely in Light Sleeper (yellow Kemsyt) and Where They Belong.
  • Kemsyt only appears in the campaign's cut scenes, except in Unlikely Heroes, where he personally appears in-game as part of the enemy forces.
    • In this scenario, the player needs to fight their way towards the Giant Gate Ram to locate him, since he is covered with the fog of war.
    • In Retold, he personally appears in-game as part of the player's forces in the third and final dream of Good Advice, where the player takes on a red color instead of the usual blue. This is the only time the player controls him outside of the Scenario Editor.
  • Although Kemsyt is a hero and is revivable, he does not have the "Hero Soul" when he falls. Before Tale of the Dragon, he did not have the message "A hero has fallen".
    • In Retold, he has also now the "Hero Soul" on his death.
  • Although he is a hero, he (along with Danzhu) can be thrown by Ajax (Campaign and older version), Kastor (Adult) and Shun. This is because both are also listed as "AbstractInfantry".
