Assassins Creed Odyssey

Yeah, they’re two separate legendary perks. The one comes from the Athenian Hero set, as you say. The other comes from the Falx of Olympia. The latter caps your health at 25% and increases all of your damage by 100%. It’s a no-brainer for a ranged, or even assassination focused, character. It’s awesome for a warrior too, but far more risky. I got killed earlier just riding past a little Athenian vs Spartan squabble. Phobos slowed like an annoying bastard (I hate that stupid ass auto-slow) and a stray swing hit Kassandra. Freak occurance. The moral is that horse riding is more dangerous than conquest battles. I had done one of those just an hour earlier and killed 76 soldiers, 6 captains and a mercenary with not a scratch.

So pretty pissed off right now, took on a Level 46 Pirate ship and was one shot from finishing it off and the game crashed for the first time ever. Just took down a Level 49 Cultist and his 8 level 49 mooks (I am L42) and now the game won't let me confirm the cultist kill, FFS the guys just lying their with his glowing cult icon and no interact button.

Element Zero Obsidian Gryphon saandrig It's Iobates the Stoic King of the Delian Leagueon Lemnos, does anyone know if he is story gated?

dazk , Iobates is not story gated. Is he stuck against something? I once devastated shot a group of Spartans for a bounty and the key guy was flung against a cart and was stuck there. I couldn't interact with him.

Perhaps you could DS where the guy is lying, explode some stuff around him to see if he could be jerked loose of whatever is sticking him.

The story gated cultists are the ones from;

Peloponnesian League 
Delian League (one or two)
Heroes of the Cult (one)

The ones I listed are definitely encountered during the main story. Some of the cultists are listed as automatic story kill. I'm not sure what it means but it's probably linked to some side missions a player can pick up.

Take Deianeira for example. Apparently, she is a SQ labeled The Fall of Deianeira. But I didn't pick up her quest, she unexpectedly encountered Kass along the road in the last PT and was killed so this SQ is not necessary to get in order to track her down.  

Grats, dazk. It's a glitch then. A reload often resolves it. 

dazk , as the others said, he’s not fated. If someone’s gated, you won’t find them. Everyone you find is fair game. It’s just a crappy bug. I’ve experienced a fair number of crashes. I’m eager for new features, but I’m also eager for a stable experience. This game is a bit rough. It’s not MEA OMGWHYWASTHISRELEASED? levels of messy, but it’s tough around the edges.

EDIT: I don’t mind starting a new PT from level 1, I guess, but not before the level increase is in place. We don’t know yet in which week that will arrive. Also, given how UbiClub seems to work, all of the additional XP I’ve earned will likely benefit a single PT. That means my Kassandra will get an influx of extra skill points, but Alexios likely won’t. I wouldn’t mind deleting my first, somewhat experimental PT in favor of a 1-70 PT for Alexios.

The patch gives us 20 new levels, raising the cap to 70. The DLC expansions comprise three episodes. I wonder if they’ll redoectivelyvtake us to 80, 90 and 100? A 1-100 PT is my cup of tea, to be honest. I did constant awards, even when they become less important. MEA handled this perfectky, since even skills you aren’t using boost your passives. For Odyssey, an added benefit is that gear changes in tiers linked to character levels. We’ve already seen that new appearances are incoming post-50. If gear keeps evolving as we approach 100, that would mean more options for the “Fashion’s Creed” feature.

The arena guy is level 20+. You're 40+; it's a pushover. Go get him.   I find it a joke his armor is part of the WW set. I don't know if he's a he or a she really. Not that I care. 

Each fight usually starts with four waves of mobs. If it's a huntress champion, you'll get four waves of huntresses and their pets. If it's Spartans, you get four waves of Spartan soldiers. The first round is easy; bandit champion so you get bandits. I think the cultist is the second round and it's Spartans, I think, or is it Athenians. Whatever. 

Thanks for the replies guys. I will finish clearing the island I am on then hit the finding mum stuff and try and take out the arena guy over the weekend.

So you will visit mom in your shining gold armor and tell her "Hi, mom, I conquered Greece single handedly, became a Demigod, got bored and decided to drop by. Got anything to kill?"

Level 43 and not Tier 5 spear yet? Do you check the cultist clues on the Cult screen and check them out? Like "a vendor in Korinth has a clue for this Cultist" or "a cultist works on Kythera" or "create a Conquest battle to draw this cultist out"? You can't visit mom with Tier 4 spear, that's just a superhero level of awesome 😁

Btw, did they add body AOE looting with patch 1.06 or earlier? And since when regular soldiers drink health potions? Or is it just that I never noticed because now I am waiting for them to burn down slowly with my stacked Fire gear? 10k crits per tick, malaka!

Fun fact - you can burn down an entire market with all the stalls and tents and as long as no one is hurt - it's all fine, no bounty.

I got a contracted to protect an Olympic athlete from bandits. Bandits come, I kill, athlete picks a sword and also attacks me. What? Did you expect me to honor the Olympic peace and just use fists? This is not the pankration! Oh, well, I run, come back a minute later to collect my reward and the athlete starts to run away scared when she sees me. Well, I guess it's the Olympics after all. We have a race, I manage to get close and engage a conversation to get paid and leave.

I love the orichalcum quests where the NPC only asks for 50 drachmae. And hate the ones where they ask for shark kills. Dude, you are in the middle of the mainland. There isn't a single shark in hundreds of miles radius. What is your malaka beef with the malaka sharks?

I have no doubt that's exactly what I'll say.   

I read the clues but I have mostly been clearing regions and finding the cultists by chance. I'll be sure and get it to Level 5 so I don't disappoint mum. 

I think AoE looting has been there since the beginning because I remember thinking hey where'd the loot go from those other dead animals I thought I only noticed the health potion drinking enemies when I got past like Level 30.

I hope they fix that quest giver thing where they decide to join a fight or are getting attacked by animals and then you intervene and they get all scared and run off. I hate it more when they chase you and want to kill you but I just find a bush to hide it till they "cool down". 

Those damn shark kills, or kill 5 Athenian ships are annoying I just say no now. I feel bad when I can't give the poor soldiers any goat cause I done sold all my meat already but seriously dude there are about 6 Moose/Sheep etc 30 feet from you. 

Saw an epic animal battle yesterday, 3 huge boars, 4 Wolves and a Lynx. One boar was the winner!!!!!! 

I sailed the Aegean some more today, working bounties on pretty much everyone. I got involved in a crazy naval fur ball amidst a thunderstorm. I sunk 6 Athenian ships, 4 Spartan ships and 6 pirate ships. They just kept coming. Landing on Lemnos, I kept working more bounties but ran into the 1 frame-per-6 seconds bug and shut it down for the day. I hope they’re working on all these bugs. New features are good, but I’d love to have a stable experience.

Today i overcame my fear of snakes and slaughtered them all in a tomb for an ability point. God my heart is racing.

So I have some questions about Odyssey. Is it worth upgrading an armour set from level 5 and onwards? Or is it only worth to keep Legendary items up to date? I bought the Mycenaean set from the club rewards tab and I love the look so have kept it up to date for awhile, but it is very costly. I am level 19 and in Phokis for reference. 

Next question is about our friendly neighborhood snakes. How many are there of these guys? The reason i haven't played through Origins yet is because of the Cobra bonanza. Heard from a few peeps that in Odyssey they are only in Tombs and I can live with that. Is it true through? Are they out in the world space as well?

Other than that I am having great time of it all, though it doesn't really feel all that Assassins Creed to me. Wish they would've made it its own thing and went really nuts with it.
