The text pops up again frequently when you are in the area. The warning means that if you dare to steal even 1 coin (and get seen) there will be a 5-star bounty on your blasphemer ass. The Greeks took their Olympic truce seriously. In my first playthrough I thought it just meant double bounty gains, went off to slap a guard once and everyone in a mile radius was gunning for me, Mercs started falling in from the sky, signal fires were lit. I was at a fort of course at the time, but the main mission sends you there anyway. So be very careful. Oh, boy! Good to know. Reminds me of a glitch I had during the Olympic questline.
I had to assassinate a cultist there, and I found him at night, sitting at the track all by himself. I'm like heh-heh... what a break! One happy-stab and I'll be on my way. But strangely I could hear voices but couldn't see anyone around. I thought it was just some ambient noise, so I stabbed him, and suddenly all these people just popped in as the game had glitched and hadn't rendered them yet.
So, yeah... that ended as poorly as you might expect.

Question: the exclamation point symbols that are black and teal/blueish-greenish rather than black and gold... what do those mean?

I had been leaving them alone because I wasn’t sure if there was a correct order for tackling them, but sounds like do whatcha want when ya want. Cool beans.

Question: the exclamation point symbols that are black and teal/blueish-greenish rather than black and gold... what do those mean? Just in case you don't know, the black and gold quest markers with an exclamation mark are main story related and need to be done to get 100%. I stuffed up and rushed to finish the family arc and that meant going back afterwards and doing then meaningless quests. Some of them also need to be done to reveal Mercenaries Cultists so if you are looking at something to focus on they are the ones. EDIT: said Mercenaries meant Cultists.

They're basically fun little explorations of Greek history. I did a couple of those yesterday. The one where you have to pass some tests ended with the quest giver saying I had no principles and that I stood for nothing. Glad this game follows my exploits so closely.

Oh, my fucking God, y’all, I just found Rooster Island! As in, a little island of nothing but roosters. You had to kill an alpha animal, which was... a slightly larger rooster. And the treasure you could loot from the big chest is a heavy mace called Poultry Pestle, whose description is “What’s this? There’s a strange inscription on the handle: ‘winner, winner, chicken dinner.’” I can’t stop laughing. My husband doesn’t get it.

Whenever there is a game that has chickens attack you, I always think of Zelda and specifically this video.

Yup, that be it! (Although it should be Roost and not Rest for maximum lulz...) Have you run across Alektryon the Rooster, yet? In a game full of randomly generated mercs, he has appeared in each of my 3 PTs. I assumed there might be a connection between him and the island, and then thought that “Alektryon” might be significant. Turns out Alektryon is the Greek word for rooster.

That's a cool fact, didn't know that. I like how the writer's etc. go to that level of detail. I think my favourite merc. so far was and I think this is write Proktos The Greasy Camel.

Is it just me, or does Ubisoft need to turn down the fire damage dealt to you? I mean, one hit and your dead and I'm playing on easy. The dlc ending boss fight has fire arrows and that was a bitch.

Well, first off don't get hit 😀 If hit, then do a roll to put the fire out and avoid any DoT damage. If still in trouble, invest in some resistance gear. Elemental resistance engravings help, but the best are the "Ignore half damage" ones. The sweet spot for those is somewhere between 40 and 50% since my testing didn't yield much better results going higher.

I could be wrong, but I am assuming they mean the roll you do when you do an extended dodge. So, the dodge button but held down so you do that roll-away dodge thingie.

You sure? It was a hold on PS4. At any rate, it’s definitely present and is the key to surviving both fire and lynxes. Otherwise, both try to get ahold of you and won’t stop till you’re dead. All the things they’ve patched, and they still haven’t fixed lynxes, as far as I know. I still see them battling those poor, hopeless bears whenever I play. Edit: When I put aside Odyssey to play HZD again, I was initially jumpy around board. Unlike Odyssey, HZD features pigs that run from the protagonist. Then, when I logged into Odyssey to do the weekly quest, I was nearly killed on the road while passing a boar. I’d learned to ignore those sounds that used to be a red alert. Damn cats and pigs.

On PC to roll you hold a direction key WASD and hit the spacebar.
