dazk , in order to find the Challenges, you need to go to a message board in a settlement. You’ll recognize them by the offered orichalcum reward. I’ve been playing the hell out of Odyssey. I’m well over 30 hours into my Kassandra PT. I’m really enjoying her VA. It’s a bit smoother than Alexios’. They’re both good and have their strong scenes. The scenes that seem over-acted for one are the same for the other, suggesting that VO direction was to blame. I’ve emphasized Assassination Damage throughout this PT and found it to be the most effective method of play. I still only have one melee wheel (Level 42) and have been rolling with the same active skills throughout. Melee wheel features Heroic Strike, Rush Assassination, Heal, and Shield Breaker. My Hunter actives are Ghost Arrows of Artemis, Multishot, Devastating Strike. I have all passives that boost damage, durability, senses and crafting. Every skill is at level 2, since I just reached level 4 with the spear. Feeling no pressure to drive the story forward, I’ve been wandering at will. I’ve not even gone to Attica/Athens, yet, but I’ve done a lot. Many islands have been visited. Kassandra is Level 42 and the spear level 4, as I said before. Cultists are dropping left and right. Eight more trinkets and I’ll have the spear at level 5. I think I’ll complete the family story more quickly this time. There’s no reason to put off completing it and reaping the benefits. I want the Amazon set, too, even if it’s not really well suited to my desired play style. (I can always engrave Assassination Damage, Crit Damage and the like, I guess.) That means exterminating that specific cell of cultists. I’ve been smart about saving good Epic armor pieces. They get an extra perk per piece. If I see a winning mix of properties, I stash it for level 50. After engraving, an Epic ensemble is superior to a Legendary set. Fortunately, there are some awesome designs in the game and a “hide helmet” toggle if needed. I’ve discovered that Kassandra does look good in many of the bulkier armor pieces. I often use the helmet toggle for her, since I like her hair more than most helmets. Still, I’m glad she looks cool. Her animations are slightly less annoying than Alexios’/Bayek’s; though she still seems stuck in low gear. I miss the ability to sprint and jog, as well as full control over jumping. I’ll never understand why they ditched Unity’s wonderful parkour. It was true to life, motion-captured and incredibly smooth and precise. The protagonists now feel slow and plodding. Kassandra also has less going on under her skirt than Alexios. 😂 While it was funny, I can’t say that I miss Alexios’ dangling giblets during swimming and climbing. It’s crazy how long this game is. I’m making way better time during this PT, but it’s still huge. I have an inkling of the next few places I’ll visit, but not how long it will take. Last time, Attica alone took me two days, IIRC. One final thought regarding money: I seemed stuck in brokeville (50K or less) for a while. I’d been skipping the hourglass quests in order to speed the game along. That’s where I make all of my drachmae, though, so I started doing them again. They are actually enjoyable, for the most part, and are quick and easy. I knew these things last PT, but forgot what I knew along the way. I skipped those quests entirely for much of the back half of my first PT, since I had around 3M drachmae. Whenever I get that rich again, maybe I’ll do the same. As it is, I’m now consistently around 200K. Not bad for Episode 3. Thanks Element Zero been rushing trying to move the game ahead, time to take a breath and start doing the timed missions and some of the message board missions as well as cash and resources are really low. I am in Abantis Islands and I am level 22 but my gear is all over the place in terms of levels (some of it is Level 17) except my sword which is L22. Still haven't been to Athens. Really feel like I am struggling to get a clear path forward in my head as in what to prioritise etc. and how to proceed. Unlike Origins going to an area and clearing it completely which is what I normally do feels like I am getting ahead level wise but not moving the game forward. Which cult cell do you need to eliminate to get the Amazon set, I was thinking of cleaning up all the lower level cultists I have not happened on by accident? I have to say I have been getting pretty shit armour drops, I have been using pretty much the same kit for a long while now as nothing better has been dropping. I have all Legendary gear but have recently swapped in some epic pieces because they are better. Is there some where other than Megaris where you can spend orichalcum? The vendor there has had little I have wanted to buy.

dazk you get the amazon set with the heroes of the cult, but to kill one of them, you have to be far ahead in the main story.

dazk, your path is sort of up to you. You can follow the main story, go explore or hunt cultists at any time. The cultist page tells you what you know and where to start looking for more cultists. At your level, it’s pretty standard to have crappy gear. I wore a level 30 pair of greaves until level 38 because I wasn’t getting drops I liked. Just use the best weapons and armor you have at any moment and it will be more than good enough. As you kill more cultists and mercenaries, and simply discover more stuff, your gear will start to improve. The drops serm to vary according to difficulty. Hard gets better than Normal gets better than Easy, basically. Spending orichalcum with the Oikos is a big deal. His inventory updates weekly, and he may not always have something you want. You can always roll the dice with his “Gift of the Gods” items for 20 units. The reward is randomized, but always at least Epic. I’m in Attica at present. I’ll be there for a couple of days, I imagine. Then, I might ride north to Boeotia. After all that land-lubbin’, I’ll be ready to hit the seas again. I’ll maybe follow the main quest a bit before heading to Krete. That island is a lot of fun, and reveals a ton of cultists. By then, I’ll likely be level 50 and may have the entire Pirate set. I’ll be able to start assembling my “best” Epic set, too. Poison and Assassination are my specialties this PT. It’s satisfying when enemies die on the first strike. I just remembered a story I didn’t share yesterday. I had a nemesis who was plaguing me across Greece. When we first crossed paths, she was 5 levels higher and hunting me in a fort. I killed 4 mercs and all the Athenians, but eventually had to bail with 3 mercs standing because she and her damned leopard could one-shot me. I crossed paths with her on three different islands as she pursued me. Eventually, she joined in a huge naval Conquest battle in which I was already outnumbered and battling a cultist. She nearly sunk me, but I got away after winning the battle and killing the cultist. I finally killed her ass during the Battle of 100 Hands. When she appeared there, it felt fitting. I alpha-struck that f-ing cat as soon as the battle started. She died from a point blank arrow to the face, if I recall correctly. All of that was a good 10+ levels ago. Kassandra is tier 1 now, with only a few comparable mercs left.

I think that's the problem, "Choice" think I'll back track and clear some low level cultists I have missed but first a bit of hunting, need leather to do some upgrades as its bugging me. I think I got spoiled early on with a couple of good drops but lately they have been few and far between. Will go visit Oikos as well. I am finding the ship stuff quite boring really, its just not as varied, fluid and exciting as Black Flag and the rewards seem pitiful for the effort and time you need to put in.

I tried Oikos once and bought an item, box I think, to see what it yielded. Nothing I want, it's a epic weapon, so I reloaded to get back the ori and never bother to go back to him. The ori I collected, 100 over, are just sitting in the inventory. I didn't know the ori lit quests are challenges. I thought it just reward ori for which I don't find a use for. Also, more than a month for NG+? Bummer. They couldn't have included it with the game right off, could they? Must milk the cows!!

Yeah I have 60 something I think in my inventory and thought I'd spend them but last time I went to see oikos the choice was shit and I hate doing the random loot box thing. The Division killed that for me!!!!! I was keen to do the challenges as I thought I read thee rewards are good, not fussed about the orichalcum too much.

It's the reason why I quit SWTOR after the devs switched the higher gear exchange to that. Despite assurances that the rng would gaurantee new gear and not repeated items, it's not my cup of tea. I want to know what I get, to make a choice, after working so hard to get the exchange tokens. Besides, I didn't play SWTOR for rng but for the stories which are getting out of whack with the expansions. *shrug* I think I went to Oikos when Kass was very close to 50 which was why I found the item useless and pointless. Probably more rewarding in the early levels but I don't see the point of "sweating" for ori.

That was exciting..was taking out one of the large forts when 3 mercs decided to come at me at the same time. Toughest fight I've had so far but managed to get em all, without any cliff side spartan kicks too!

Be wise when spending orichalcum. It’s linked to your Ubi account rather than your individual save file. The good news is that any reward you get from among the store items is now permanently yours. I got the Poseidon pack, the Pegasos mount and the Athenian sails via the RNG. dazk , I think you just haven’t played much, Speaking in a relative sense. This game takes a lot of time. You should stack up plenty of leather and other materials by breaking down anything you aren’t using or saving for later. Don’t waste materials upgrading items until you hit 50. Otherwise, you’ll always be behind, lacking the materials when you really need them. Money is useless, aside from upgrading, so spend it on materials when shopping. It’s not like you need it for anything else. Your money and materials will accrue as you stack up more accomplishments. One last thing regarding materials: don’t set those material caches alight until after you loot them. A single fort generally contains hundreds of units of each resource. I’m about to play a couple more hours before bed. Athens is really impressive. I’m savoring everything more without the overwhelming impetus to complete the game as quickly as possible. I’ve had Kassandra using the female assassins crew since leaving Malis. I figure their same warrior cult, merc band or both. I’ve stacked up some really good legendary lieutenants in the last few hours. These last few are the kind you keep until the very end. I wish we got to see more than the 4 actives. It would be fun to see more or all of them on deck at times. I grew to like the naval stuff a lot. It can’t measure up to Black Flag or Rogue, but it’s fun. The combat is super basic and not very challenging. The traversal, though, is beautiful and enjoyable.

Yeah I was just having a time out to eat lunch and I think I just need to press on and stop thinking so much. I think the problem is I got some good gear early and so I feel the need to keep it upgraded but I am not having many issues with fighting so will try and just sub new stuff in if its better. Still confused re the plot lines and what to pursue and not pursue. The cultists I figured I'd come across most clearing the maps so have dropped specifically chasing them down unless there is a good reason loot wise. Will just continue for the time being going from map area to map area based on Levels.

I'm really hoping that the NG+ will include all the fast travel synchronization points that the player has already unlocked. It would make things so much more enjoyable the second time through, and allow us to focus on the fun stuff.

I have started a chain of events that looked like out of a cartoon.
The place - night, a random military camp with about 8 or so soldiers and a bear in a cage.
The culprit - me, a greedy Misthios with nothing else to do.
The accident - Misthios silently gets to a tower in the camp. Shoots a fire arrow at a soldier's head. Misthios misses. Fire arrow hits dry shrubbery. Fire starts. Fire spreads. Tent with 3 sleeping soldiers catches fire, 3 soldiers in it scream and run out, all on fire. Other soldiers running in to investigate catch fire. Bear cage starts burning, bear growls in pain. Animal friendly Misthios shoots an arrow at cage. Cage door breaks, bear on fire goes free. Bear on fire goes berserk. Half the camp is dead in less than a minute. Took just 2 arrows, one of which missed.
Misthios goes in, saves the bear in distress, then Spartan kicks it, tames it and both ride out in the sunrise.

It would make things so much more enjoyable the second time through, and allow us to focus on the fun stuff. I don’t think Origins saved viewpoints, though they did save Senu’s progression. This is a bigger game and a different team. Anything is possible. They seem to listen to their fans. If this is frequently requested, they’d at least look into the feasibility. I rarely use fast travel. For me, getting there is half the fun. I can understand why sailing for 10 minutes to reach a quest isn’t for everyone. I only use fast travel for things like turning in pelts to Daphnae, or visiting Artaxerxes with a new story. dazk, you’ll stumble across cultists at times. Others are revealed via the story. Still others are pretty well concealed and might be unlikely to just stumble into the misthios. I usually look at the info I have and determine whether cultists can be found in an area I’d like to visit. Once you start knocking them down, their friends become easier to find. You have to collect 19 tokens, I believe, to get the Spear to level 5. (3; 7; 9 for 3rd, 4th and 5th — Am I remembering correctly? It’s something like that.) You’ll run into skill caps until you get it to level 5. I’m working on 4 at present. I have pretty much every skill I want maxed at two and am itching for the third tier and second melee wheel. I’m still in Attika and have plenty to do. I was thinking about heading north into Boeotia after Attika, but I want to get my spear to level 5 ASAP. I think I’ll head to Krete after Attika, if I don’t first follow the main story from Athens. Actually, I like that idea. Athens onward in the main story, then Krete and island hopping to get the spear to 5. Plus, Pephka is a lot of fun. Krete has a lot to offer.

Lynxes are the worst. I’m busy in northern Attika where they’re abundant. Every time I travel through that town where Heitor runs his shop I’m pursued by lynxes. They never catch me, but they can stay right on the tail of an artificially slowed horse. (I hate that, by the way. We used to be able to precisely control both character and mount speed, and had appropriate animations. AC used to have the best mounts.) Those damned cats will pursue halfway across a province. It’s annoying. That’s not even accounting for the fact that I’ve seen them kill lions and bears. The cats need a nerf, both to their agression and their damage.
In general, the wildlife in Odyssey is ridiculous. I appreciate the desire to add dangers to the world, but it kills my immersion. The animals should try to avoid population centers and should behave at least slightly more realistically. Bears and leopards don’t live in packs or prides. Wild animals generally don’t walk into towns and start trouble.

Just got the platinum trophy. Number 94. excellent. For the ending scene I had step dad, brother and mother at the table talking about going hunting. Where did you find the stink-eye and all locations trophy? For the stink-eye you have to go to North-East of Kephallonia and kill and loot a random number of goats until you get the Cyclopes eye

This trophy requires you to fully remove the gray fog from the map and visit each sub-district of each region, including small unnamed islands and all water. Big regions are split into multiple smaller districts which have a gray “fog of war” on the map. Make all the gray fog go away. You just need to visit each place for a little moment. You must also uncover the entire Ocean Map (except a little piece in the north-west that’s outside the playable area and cannot be reached). What makes this tricky is that there are many small islands around the map. You must step on EVERY small island. Even if they don’t look grayed-out or seem part of an island group, you MUST step on each one. For example, there’s a tiny island south of Samos to which you’d never have to go. It’s not grayed-out on the map but counts regardless – same for all other tiny islands.
Be very thorough and make sure that you truly step on each tiny island even if it doesn’t look grayed-out or doesn’t have a name on the map. All of them are needed. You receive some XP when stepping on the islands, that’s how you know they counted. The 4 Mysterious Sites from the 4 World Bosses are not needed. For the stink-eye you have to go to North-East of Kephallonia and kill and loot a random number of goats until you get the Cyclopes eye The first goat I killed had the eye.

Stink Eye was the one I got lucky with on my first PT. The second goat I killed had it. I’d have finished 99% and had to look up this trophy if not for good fortune. The other, as said, is just being thorough. This game had pretty easy trophies. I got all of them on my first PT simply by playing the game. There was nothing fancy or obscure, save for Stink Eye.

I played a fair amount today, and hit Level 50 in about 50 hours. That seems to be the average through two PTs — one level per hour. I hope they remove the level cap soon. It’s silly and unneeded.
I completed Attika entirely, then sailed south to Argolis. I’m working through that region. In Argos, I had a fun encounter in the large temple on the hill. The Leader showed up as I was preparing to leave. He stopped to examine some of my handiwork and never got a chance to look up from it. His entourage came angrily sprinting and I killed all of them. There was now a 4-star bounty on me, and who appears? Exekias the Legend. I’d not seen him all game, so this was good. I sniped his animal from hiding and the dropped on his head. He died quickly. Some other fool did as well, whose name I can’t recall. Then, who else appears? So-and-so the Translucent. I killed her in much the same mode as Exekias. Oddly, the third-rated douchewaffle on the merc ranking jumped to tier one, despite my killing numbers 1 and 2. I saw him in the woods a while later and took care of him.
I had another funny encounter in Argos before that. I crept near the town square, eying a cultist. He was in a circle jerk with a half-dozen guards, so I thought, “What the hell. Why not?” I unleashed a ranged Overpower attack that killed him and apparently some bystanders. His greatly weakened entourage went down quickly, but citizens rioted. It seems that high profile murder offends. There were so many armed and interfering in my fight that I starting mowing down all comers. Eventually, their neighbors thought better of continuing, and I moved on to other things. The resulting bounty helped set the stage for my first story.
I upgraded and engraved a very optimized, very nice-looking Epic armor set. I even found a helmet that looks badass enough to keep visible. Kass’ braid hangs out the side, too. My gear looks not too dissimilar to the Demigod set, to be honest. There’s lots of gold with white trim. I’ve not yet found the perfect bracers, so I’m using the Pilgrim Bracers, which are Assassination-optimized like I need. I’ve been pretty committed to Assassination and poison this PT, so I’d used level 42 weapons all the way to 50. Getting those upgraded to 50 was crazy. I feel like I’m wading through foes, now.
For ranged combat, it’s always great to see ordinary foes dropping in a single, standard shot. I’ve never optimized for Hunter, but it seems to take forever with an unoptimized archer. I’m there now, though, and it’s fun. I invested in Predator Shot this PT, my old favorite from Origins. It’s still amazing, and I love it. Poison isn’t as flashy as fire, but it also is a lot of fun and very effective. It benefits from my poison perks and from Assassination optimization, so it’s pretty deadly. It also debuffs, which is nice for hard-hitting bosses.
I like the arc in Argos. Once finished here, I’ll likely ride north to beautiful Korinthia. There I’ll grab the needed trinket to improve the spear to 5; and I’ll advance the story.
As is typical, I’m enjoying my second PT more than my first. I’m always more relaxed and appreciative of the thousand little things. The dev team’s attention to detail, even with things most players will never notice, is astounding. I’ve really come to like Kassandra a lot. She has such a pleasant voice and inflection. I love Alexios’ delivery of the passionate, emotionally charged lines, so I’m looking forward to hearing Kassandra’s version. I think I like Kassandra’s pleasant, varied delivery slightly better than Alexios’ silly, snarky delivery on the whole. Both are good and enjoyable. It reminds me of Shepard. I had my preferences, but both VAs were excellent.

So, it seems that no one has figured out how to open the locked door under The Depth of the Forge. There are two treasures and some enemies beyond that door. There’s a similar door in Boeotia that opens via a quest. I don’t think the same process works here, but I guess I could fire up my Alexios save and try. Anyone have any additional knowledge about this? If I can’t open it with Alexios, I’m going to suspect that it’s related to some event or DLC.

Are you talking about the volcano island to the south of Attica and just east of Argolis? I went there yesterday and it said access to this mission is closed now or something like that but you could still enter the volcano and kill the clan people down there and loot the treasure.
