Assassins Creed Odyssey

Yeah, I wish there was some indicator. I'm still missing a few pieces as well.

The belt is the "Isu Commander's Waistband", though the chestpiece "Armor of Rebellion" provides the red skirt bit.

So couple of hours in ACOD yesterday, started with the Ori Daily, what someone stole you Papyrus well here you go have 50Drachmae!!!!

Then continues to roam around Messara, cleared some some including getting an old dude some flowers for his dead wife but then go onto doing the pre-quests for The Minotaur. Did those and killed a swordfish and then headed back to Ardos and ventured into the Labrynth, 4 times in fact!!!!! First two I missed Ardos's dads ring, 3rd time missed a jump and 4th time slayed the horned one with two Heroic Strikes went outside gave Ardos the ring and then cooked me some steaks.

Next Pephka and all that is Minotaury and I am going to try and complete the second part of The Arena which I normally skip because I hate the arena.

Saw this on imgur and thought it was funny, completely unrelated.

With Atlantis I had to play the level resets the merchants gear game.  The rest of it I was able to find normally playing the game.

Kassandra has been busy the last two days. At the fort hunting down "Elpenor", Kassandra got accidentally spotted by a throng of guards and had to go hide in the bushes outside the walls until the guards got sick of looking. Except that while she was waiting, two mercenaries -- in red, looking for Kassandra -- started fighting the guards instead, right outside the front gate.



It was really a huge help. Also convenient when "Elpenor" came outside to join the fight, so Kass didn't even have to go back into the fort in order to find out he was a fake.

With Elpenor dead, Kassandra could infiltrate the Cultist meeting, where Pythia was being interrogated. Oops. I guess I shouldn't have killed the guards.



I figured the "mother" they were talking about was going to be Kassandra's mother, but for some reason I was convinced Deimos was going to be another unknown sibling (or half sibling, or adopted sibling) of Kassandra's, until he actually showed up.

Kassandra headed to the Forge to upgrade her spear. Anyone else think this place looks like one of the vaults in MEA?


Then Layla woke up and I poked around the modern day for a bit. All I got were a few prompts on various objects, some mission documents, emails, and voice recordings. Hopefully I didn't miss anything vital, but honestly at this point, I don't think I would even notice if the modern day element vanished completely. Since the only other game I've played is Syndicate, I guess I just don't have the context to care about it. I know it was a bigger deal in the early games.

Back in ancient Greece, Kassandra had a sweet reunion with her baby brother.




At some point, before reaching Athens, Kassandra went exploring a bit and found this tomb of traps and snakes. I don't have a real life snake phobia, but for some reason the ones in this game really weird me out. They are easy enough to set on fire, but still.




And Kassandra got surprised by a boar and two bears at the same time while trying to hunt for...bear testicles? I think? I thought she killed the boar, but I was unable to find its corpse for harvesting.


I love video game cities, and Athens is no exception.



Kassandra did two tasks for Perikles so far, smuggling the artist out of Athens, and voter fraud (without being seen ).


Also hunted down two more cultists, one of which was in a boat, which resulted in me having to reload the game because three pirate ships plus the cultist almost sank the Adrestia.

But Kassandra got her second spear upgrade, at least.

Refresh at the vendor today and there was a Siren crew which I didn't have yet, so...

... I went clubbing for ori. 



Picked up the new crew.

(Lieutenants weren't impressed.)




Then hung out in Elysium for a bit.

I got that crew ages ago, they didn't last long they are just damn weird!!!!!   

They're a bit plasticy with the fins and the seaweed hair, but I'm gonna give them a try.

Or when people don’t believe Barnabus’s story about Sirens taking his best friend when they are on the ship.

I tried killing some snakes with my normal weapons today and it was pointless with how far down one of their attacks took Kassandra's health. I'll stick with using the torch to kill them. One of my Lieutenants is a random bandit leader that I thought I'd killed but hadn't. I'll have to try it with a mercenary when I get the chance.

I noticed the white lines when pulsing "V", but I didn't realize the boar could slide so far downhill. That's probably why I couldn't find it.

I do see a cult member outside the city, though I think he or she is still above my level. It shouldn't be too long before I can go after them, though.

I kind of forgot to take screenshots for most of my playing today. I spent most of my time trying to find polemarchs to kill so I could get their seals. Unfortunately, I cleared a lot of the Spartan red forts before even making it to Athens, so I've run out of polemarchs for now. I was able to get the first set of three for Demosthenes, but now he wants three more. Hopefully the quest will keep for a little while until I've discovered more forts that aren't above my level.

I then rescued this captain and his crew from the Spartans and sent them on their way. Whatever they are hauling seems ominous. Can't wait to find out later what I unleashed.


Then returned to Athens to free Perikles's friend from snakes.


The snake merchant was an oddly difficult fight. Like, I had to use second wind ability at least 4 or 5 times before I managed to kill him. Maybe I ought to equip poison on all my gear, too.

Don't worry too much about the seals, I think you have to do it five times for both sides.  To open up another quest.

I also used a bow to kill the snakes if I got tired dealing with a torch.

Interesting... I didn't know that.

I just been throwing torches at them for the most part. Occasionally I'll shoot a fire arrow, but torches are the most economical.

The harder way to use Explosive arrows 😂
