OK so starting Atlantis DLC Part 3, any tips or suggestions for how to navigate it, what to do first etc?
I am at my first dilemma, have found the Doma of Azaes and I believe I have a quest for him from Atlas but it has the usual quest objectives for a fort as in kill The Polemarchs etc. Should I be doing the non-lethal knock outs or kill them all approach and should I do the quest for him first?

Though be careful on one of the Archons later.

Though be careful on one of the Archons later. So yeah I went ahead and killed those guys but I am finding this DLC a bit perplexing and have already had to do a couple of missions again and even then still not sure how that is affecting the end of the dlc. So the missions for Atlas and the Archons any answers appreciated: I am supposed to be educating these guys was my guess but the one in the arena if Kass doesn't kill people the guy goes nuts and kills everyone anyway!!!!! WTF??
The one with the cloak of healing, you have no choice but to use it (did I miss something) yet Poseidon specifically tells you not to use Isu tech on Humans????
The one re the Rebels, I destroyed their supplies and reported that back so at least that seemed straightforward.
After I have finished those missions I go back to Atlas and that series of questions again was just bizarre. Got him to NOT kill the Archons but his responses afterwards were all aggro.
I am so confused and now have very little idea what the F#ck is going on. Does it become clearer, do I need to start again????

dazk What did you think about the ending of FoA episode 2? It was kind of bizarre, like Part 1 what was the point and what happened to Hades with that rune thing?
I didn't mind doing the quests etc. most were OK but yeah the ending was, weird and Charon's quests were mostly just painful!!!!! If you are referring to the future stuff: That was just kind of ridiculous too, the whole Layla killing the Dr. was that necessary to demonstrate her lacking control and Alethea then prattling on, yeah just not sure.

So finished up the Atlantis portion of the main game and thus the playthrough of the main game is now over. Much like with the Kosmos plot this ending actually has an entirely different meaning now that I have gone through the game and especially the ending. Including the name drop of: Project Olympos...and of course mentioning all the abominations that a certain scientist has created. Then of course Kass made a lot of referneces to how she had been all over the world, her clothes, her entire demeanor...and telling Layla that she will bring balance and fix the thing and then that she will destroy all the Isu artifacts...how she should. Honestly perhaps the best thing about this playthrough is how *both* of the other two endings are now a lot better and have a lot more to make sense. And it was incredibly sad to see Kass go... So I would think I would need about 6 weeks to finish the rest of the game and the DLC...at the outside...considering that it does seem to take that long. That plan has since been blown out of the water since I am pretty much all done with Episode 1 of Legacy already Really enjoying it. Episode 1 was a real treat in every single way when you get down to it. Though it was funny that A. I still couldn't get that one fort with all the Order documents and B. I thought I was done with my second loadout, the one with the fists so I could knock peole out instead of killing them. Well I am not done with it as much apparently. It seems to support the...themes...of this DLC but it seems to put you into positions where you risk killing Civillians...a lot. Or fighting them. Speaking of weird occurences while I was running around I ran into an Athenian guard and a dog fighting. Shot the dog with a devestating shot...and thought I killed it...but it was just lying on the ground whimpering and stuff so stood there for a bit and decided to put it out of its misery...where the guard decided to try and kill me. So the quest of whimpering through the fog...another case of knowing things changes context. But that first little cage Kass can run into, of the people exposed to the elements and tortured. I never did that. Kass never did that. Kind of spoiled the rest of the presentation. Buuutt then of course maybe all the people in the tree Kass did kill. It certainly makes the mind wonder? It was interesting from there though that despite everything else and you choose the 'I am not a monster' option Kass sounds...uncertain in her "I had to." As if she is unsure. And this might not be the best from an RP perspective...but it does work for the thematic consquences of the DLC and hell, after all that and the set up one does have to wonder and it would shake one especially since Kass isn't exactly a pacifist. So well done again overall...really enjoying episode 1.

So spent sometime in Atlantis yesterday and am actually quite confused after completing the first lot of quests for Atlas for the Archons. Anyway will continue to try and stumble my way through it, going to try and track down the armour and also find the Isu knowledge to progrees that as well as I have some partially incomplete places as I can't access parts of the sites as they re gated by that. Pic's Gotta get me some of these sick headphones!!!! Asshat number 1, 2, & 3 Your OK but a bit of a goose Kass in Venice Atlantis

So gained a bit more clarity of purpose yesterday in Atlantis and thanks to colfoley fort some suggestions/thoughts. Basically went looking for the Keepers insights and whilst doing that took down forts etc as I passed them. Ended up getting all the insights and got myself almost to Stage 3 of the Isu knowledge thing and collected enough adamantine to make an assassin weapon. How disappointing is that process, I hoped I'd have more input and choices but got daggers which I don't (use and am spec'd for swords) use and no control over the engravings so it was a complete waste of time. Why could they not at least give you a choice of the weapon? I don't have enough adamantine to make the others yet but I am guessing one will be a Hunter Bow and the other a heavy weapon, neither which is useful to my build!!!! Anyway that was pretty much it, just not sure when to do the ORANGE Quest icons????? Pic's Took down this place undetected, impressed even myself!!! Using the magic wand Fireworks

Using the magic wand Fireworks I think it's a staff. I don't think it's a bow which pisses me right off because I'd love a hunter bow. The orange quest icons you can do at any time really since, as I said, there are no side quests in the DLC. Though next time I'll probably bull rush it a lot quicker.

That's just ludicrous, how hard could it have been to give you a choice of weapon type and the engravings!!!!

So in my neck of the woods: I did indeed finish Episode 1 of Legacy and it was still indeed...quite fun...and a lot of BS.
So the first attempt with the Huntsman didn't go too well. A merc showed up out of nowhere and I think I had pretty descent health but he vitually one shotted me and killed me pretty instantly. Second attempt went much better as a Hero Strike took him out in one shot and there was a lot of cackling to be had (god that power is so OP), but then the merc showed up again and I swear even though the guy was supposed to be dead I swear he was still shooting at me with bows off screen which nearly killed me again. Not to mention it is the height of BS that you pick up a bounty there in the first place for killing off his four guards. God the bounty system in this game stinks. Well followed him to his cave and then one shotted him again with hero strike. Him and Artabanus had his little chat...off to episode 2.
You know despite how bad Episode 2 is the first like 'half' of it is still pretty enjoyable. Just that one fort with the Ancient Clue I had to go back to find that Ancient Clue again and then had to go back to it a third time because thats where the merc was organizing with the spartan troops.
I also had the biggest damn battle ever in the Shipyard in Patrai because I got way too cocky trying to go after the Ancient there and tight roped my way...only to get spotted halfway. Which resulted in the guy bolting, I pursued, up a ladder...and then when I got there he went DOWN the ladder, but I got him, by that time it seemed ever Spartan in Greece was after me so I vanished for a second, just to confirm the kill of said Ancient and then of course there was still stuff to get there I decided to stick around and cut my way through the waves of Spartans. Got a three head bounty, no less then three mercs showed up and the third one almost got me. But they didn't.

Atlantis Episode 3 was weird. Intentionally or not - nothing was what it seemed or supposed to be. Ultimately every Isu did what they pleased and nobody cared about daddy Poseidon.
Army of Eagle Bearers in loin cloth...Let's all agree that is the best idea Juno had in the entire franchise
I am not sure how I feel about the super verticality of Atlantis. Cool as a proof of concept I guess, but it did give me a bunch of headaches. The place had so much potential for more quests. The werewolf alone could have been expanded and built upon. It felt as if the designers had grand ideas and little time, so we ended up with a big city and not much to do in it. I guess that's why Episode 1 seemed more meaty, but things went thinner from there.
As a side note - I equipped the Isu armor that enhances you upon damage. And I got the enhanced ability with the same effect. Going back to good ol'Greece with such buffs plus the AOE strikes from the adamantine Isu weaponry truly gave the combat feel of fighting as a god among mortals. Sure, the abilities we had before are also godly, but definitely not as flashy - surrounded by lightning, wielding a spear made of light and striking everyone in a big circle around you is awesome. Honestly, I am tempted to start another playthrough and unleash this hell on the two poor bastards that manage to give the Eagle bearer a bloody nose in the prologue Although I will have to wonder why Kephalonia doesn't live in terror under the dictatorship of the Eagle Bearer who goes Super Saiyan from a mosquito bite.

it was a bit of a cosmic disconnect when Kass was going 'oh booboo not the cyclops' when she was level 72 with full RA and Hero Strike. Similar to what happened with the Chimera's breath in Legacy. So I didn't quite finish legacy episode 2. But I am quite close. I defeated the Tempest and was more or less satisfied with how things turned out. Kleta was alive. Still kinda convinced her to turn on the order... and it doesn't seem like there is a way to keep her alive. What is weird is she kinda looks like Layla. So onto...Ambush...of the...forced baby. Ugh. For the first time Melisanthi's VA has been used as a weapon against me. I don't want to want it, don't want to sympathize, but I do... the feels are real. Naturally this led to some perhaps forced and inconsistent role playing. First when Nakatas asked why I did it...I meant to click on for the bloodline... I don't think I did or it was a horrible paraphrase. But ok. Then later on when he was asking me 'if this were home' I replied with the option that...nothing is home? Something like that. Anyways Kass could've answered 'The road is my home' or 'the sea is my home' or 'I don't know Nakatas I am starting to feel restive' Instead we got 'I did this to secure the bloodline'...o.O So probably gonna finish up Episode 2 in the next day or two.

In episode one of Atlantis, Elysium I liked the verticality initially by the end of it not so much!!!!! Atkantis uses it better I think and it is not so overdone which is a bonus, I am nearing the end have forged weapons and collected the armour and just have to say my god the DLC armour is underwhelming ( DragonKingReborn I am trying to be nice ) what were they thinking, the veil armour was just damn ordinary, if not downright awful and the Dikastes armour is worse than some of the worst armour in the main game IMO. So much for the character being someone important in Atlantis, hey lets just give her this god (pun intended) awful armour that looks like some pleb's armour compared to even the Isu guards!!!! As to the Forge, there really needed to be more choice in creating the weapons, by this stage most people are going to have a build and engravings etc. that is focused on a weapon type or skill base such as Hunter yet you can't even craft a bow let alone decide engravings etc!!!! Anyway I digress, my point was going to be that the best part of Atlantis has been reading all the knowledge things about the project and about Aita and his project and about Phanes. Aita was particularly interesting given you get to meet him in Black Flag, sort of.

You're not wrong. I didn't bother with the DLC armour at any point - save the set needed to navigate the rifts in the Underworld. Kass was decked out like Wonder Woman for the last fifty or so hours of my playthrough (using a visually altered Pirate Set, of course). And that Forge, man....sheesh. Kass - I want an Assassin's Weapon! Forge - Have a mace! Kass - Kass - O...kaaayyy....I want a Warrior's Weapon! Forge - Have a dagger! Kass - Kass - I want a Hunters weapon! Forge - Have a spear! Kass - I...guess that sort of works, but honestly, I would've preferred a bow. You know, that thing required for all the Hunter abilities in the game...?

Thank god for being able to change he armour visual, I could live with the Pirate set appearance but have been running a combo of The Radiant Belt, bracers, boots and helmet with the Spartan Rebel chest so that Kass's eyes didn't change. However I felt it was appropriate to change the appearance for Atlantis to the Asphodel armour except I use Isu boots as the Asphodel ones look STOOPID.

Nothing wrong with it at all. But...Wonder Woman...

So finished episode 2.
I never thought Melisanthi's voice acting would be such a powerful weapon against me. I thought Alexios really over acted most of the lines... and while there was still some of that (the laughing was rather awkward) the grief was palpable.
Also Kass blamed herself for what happened.
And I don't like at all how antagonistic towards one another Dairius and Kass seem at the beginning. You both make mistakes, you should hunt them down and work together.
Also killed the guy who was helping out the Cult.

Agreed, she delivers the emotional stuff really well I think and she manages to get away with swearing without making it sound tawdry. It was really good to hear her being humorous again and a lot during Hades, she does it really well I think.

So finished episode 2. I never thought Melisanthi's voice acting would be such a powerful weapon against me. I thought Alexios really over acted most of the lines... and while there was still some of that (the laughing was rather awkward) the grief was palpable. Agreed, she delivers the emotional stuff really well I think and she manages to get away with swearing without making it sound tawdry. It was really good to hear her being humorous again and a lot during Hades, she does it really well I think. IKR? Probably said this before (or something like this) and as much as I didn't mind her work ...I kind of wish we could go back and time and make Melisanthi the voice for Fem Hawke...the sarcasm would've been glorious. Probably didn't sound 'Ferelden' enough but that is a rather small complaint.

I think she could get away with it because rather than over do her accent in Odyssey I think she sounds Greek more because of the pronunciation of the words.

So after 488hrs, 19,880 kills and 4,046km travelled in over 2 and a bit PT's starting back in October 2018 and having completed all DLC including the Lost Tales of Greece I am finally done with Assassins Creed Odyssey. Firstly I want to say I think Melissanthi Mahut was absolutely fabulous as Kassandra's VA and I also thought Kassandra's appearance in game was great as well. The game was a fun ride and I enjoyed nearly every minute of it and for me at least Part 3 of Atlantis was a good if not great ending to it, excluding the Layla bits. I loved the tie back to the old Isu stuff in AC3 and 4 in particular and seeing Aita as himself rather than as the Pirate he played (name escapes me) and it was just good to see Juno and him working together in the DLC. I definitely think the Atlantis DLC was only OK to good, for me at least each part was better than the previous one but all were soured by Layla and that present day stuff. Her character is terribly hard to relate to especially compared to Kassandra and her VA and the dev's writing of her lines were really ordinary. The DLC's highlighted one major gripe for me as well as in parts of the original game and that was the excess travelling in quests. More Fast Travel points would have been useful and just less of those quests which were ultimately pointless especially as the decisions you made seemed to have absolutely no impact on the endings. In Atlantis I replayed at least 4 missions and it appeared to me that absolutely nothing I did had any impact on the end but maybe I am wrong. The only other gripes I have are A) The Bounty System needs to be reworked and The Game really is too long. Less quests with more impact on outcome would be way more preferable and one other thing now I think of it, upgrade costs in terms of resources and drachmae seemed too high especially early on I the game. Other than that it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience, I regret only that I couldn't relate to Alexios enough or like his VA enough to get a full PT out of him. Anyway time to move on and thanks to all those that helped out with questions and who commented and discussed the game and made it an even better experience.

@colfey Did you do the DLC with the ‘non-romance’ route? It’s awful right?

Speaking of how bad Legacy is if I do another pt (a canon one) before the next AC game I might not play Legacy again. Maybe just episode 1.
So as for what I did last night: continuing on with Episode 3 I killed the Commander. It got dicey for a moment though because I had a bounty on me and the merc who was after me crossed paths while I was escorting Rhode and the kids but I just sauntered through and nothing happened. Only to run into the leader... who saw my face and was shooting at me mere moments ago... and someone who should've known Rhode... walked right by them. I let the kids go.
Next up some really bad luck and sniper work on my part. I was pushing on the checkpoint with the Persian advisers.. pretty high bounty. So figured I'd snipe them. Apparently it was just out of range so most the camp came up to me, I went down. Only as I was getting into position to take out the guards someone, somehow, spotted me. What resulted was one of *those* fights. Since we were on a road reinforcements kept riding in. Got my trusty staff out and did a lot of power attacks...but so much for not having a high bounty.
Which brings me to the battle on the beach. I ran in all guns blazing and slaughtered everyone to get the Athenian General free...but three mercs showed up one after the other after the other. I wasn't sure about the third one so I started freeing the guards and well...no Hero Strike, RA didn't actually do too much, it was a level 95 merc, I'm level 92...but the Athenians actually picked up weapons and began helping me try and drive her back. I still had to be pretty careful with my shots because I did not want to help my newfound allies and risk blowing the quest, but it really worked out and I was able to get them. Then after sinking the Spartan Commander Fleet...more bounties...two more hunters.
