Assassins Creed Odyssey

So did the weekly quests, pretty easy kill 2 Athenian Leaders, Kill 20 Athenian Soldiers and destroy 10 Athenian War supplies couple of leaders houses and it was all over pretty quickly.

Oikos has the Spartan horse which I bought and got lucky in the lucky dip and got the Sacred Headpiece.

I'm working on getting the remaining cultists (need to unveil 6, kill 8) and the remaining mythical creatures for Real Dad (just need Medusa). I noticed that I had Kassandra wearing all of Alexios' armor, except for his helmet. And I didn't have the helmet. Concerned that I had somehow missed picking it up somewhere, I googled the armor set.

And, well...I guess I know who the leader of the cult is now. Oops.

Greeeeeeeaat. Let me guess, her head snakes are just like the snakes you run across in tombs, except they don't go down as easily with a bit of fire, and they can one hit kill you.

Any tips? As soon as I level up, I intend to go after her.

So pretty much like the Cyclops and Minotaur, except she won't be smashing the pillars?

Basically your assassin skills such as Rush Assassination will be useless and as Hanako said if you are good with a bow then that is a help especially devastating shot etc. but I found Heroic Strike and Fury of the Bloodline worked well for me. If you are using poison I don't think it helps but fire might.

If you don't mind being spoiled watch a video of the fight, otherwise:

I find it the most difficult fight in the game as I am not good at those long drawn out fights, I have never lost the fight but I do find it hard and so kudos to you if you don't.

I didn't have too much trouble with the Cyclops and Minotaur on normal as they telegraph their attacks and I have engraving for damage from behind. So I'd just doge get behind them and hit them with heroic Strike which I also have enhanced with an engraving and its an assassin ability which I have enhanced through gear etc. But yeah you can't relax with them and I almost got killed being lazy against the Minotaur last time. 

There is a build you can do with 100% melee resistance, +100% armour and 100% chance to ignore half damage that makes those fight really easy which was fun, Medusa though I am not sure whether her gaze counts as elemental damage and that you can therefore reduce the damage. Just have to keep hiding and moving.

Just check online re Fire for Medusa I am not 100% positive (just checked) and apparently it does here's a video if you want to watch it. They  must have fire really enhanced and are using Rage of Ares and Destructive Shot I think it's called.

I turned Kassandra's horse into a unicorn, and he looks ridiculous. I have no regrets.

It's been probably a year and a half since I did that fight...   

I think it was a combo of having high crit hunter gear, Slow Time, then Predator Shots to the head. Maybe Battlecry of Ares popped just before Slow Time for good measure.

I've mostly been forgetting to take screenshots, but I'm on episode 2 of Legacy of the First Blade. I like it so far. The guy who I assume will end up being Kassandra's husband (Natakas) is maybe a little bit shy and sweet for her, but I don't mind too much. However, I understand how someone playing her as a lesbian wouldn't be too pleased about the relationship being so forced.

Also, you know you've been playing too much Assassin's Creed Odyssey when you see this little tree in your neighbor's yard and feel a strong urge to run over and pluck it out of the ground.
