Assassins Creed Odyssey and Other AC Games - SPOILERS Galore

Thank you re the pic's.  The bow is great if you want to investin "Hunter" points and skills, Devastating Shot is one of my favourites and once you get your magic inherited spear to Level 3 I think it unlocks higher level abilites and you get access to "Ghost Arrows" that can fire through walls etc. Way OP'd but huge fun!!!!  

Yeah I started NG+ at level 75 approx. it's been a much easier journey but be warned when you play levelling up your gear and the ship is really resource intensive, so lots of killing animals and picking up steal and wood!!!! 

It's a really beautiful game, Kassandra and her VA are great and they are easily my favourite female VA and character in a fantasy setting. I have to stop myself taking pic's because I already have 2997 screenshots for the game (786MB). 

Here's a few more:





And the game has some great zip lines!!!!

Hey there, out and about ATM so will be brief. ☹️

Depends on how you like to play, I like stealth best but early on it can be a bit of a challenge especially in the big forts and quarries.

Rush Assassination is the best skill because it can teleport you to targets from stealth. If you get seen Heroic Strike is a good get out of jail ability as it does lots of Fame and Ring of Chaos is great for knocking mobs down. If you go stealth use gear with assassin skills and adrenaline bonuses. When hiding you can whistle on PC it's X and guards will come look to make it easier to assassinate them and stay hidden.
Running away and hiding is also a useful tactic. 🤪
If you want to focus on the now Hunter skills are obviously important and you can pick guards off from hiding. Devastating shot is good but it may alert other guards.

The key is to level your spear up as quickly as you can by killing cultists. Once at L3 your abilities are much better.

Will write more when I am back home.🙂

I find stealth the easier path because I hate melee and whilst I used the bow a lot in my first PT I didn't set my build up properly for it to be able to one shot people. Also the bodies alert the guards and then it becomes a melee fest if they find you.

So if you want to go down the stealth path you can actually avoid a lot of the fighting but you need to be patient and think about the best way to take the various guards down. I love the challenge of getting through a fort completely undetected.

If you set your build up right for stealth, high CRIT Chance and damage and invest in adding damage to assassin abilities you can wipe out the smaller camps with say 5 or 6 people with one use of Rush Assassination, just as long as you make sure you have thought about how you "chain" from one enemy to the next.

I am at the point where RA kills most of the high level merc's in one hit and Heroic Strike takes at least half an enemies health away for most.

Thanks for the advice dazk! Finished the shroud retrieval quest and now Kass has an assassin contract. Love the combat and the eagle. Flying as an eagle and learning where the enemy is so much fun and the area is beautiful from up there. The quests and the combat remind me a lot of The Witcher3 style. Talos the bounty hunter sure was persistent, he followed Kass all the way to Odessyus's temple where he met his end by water- lol. Kass is off to upgrade her weapons and find a boat.

I'm on AC hiatus after spending over 100 hrs on Origins. That doesn't mean I didn't love it. I did, but the repetitive nature meant a break was overdue. I do lurve my Kass though. Look at them arms.

Also...I loved hunting in Orgins with all the different animals. With the Greek setting it's just not there.

I find Odyssey far less repetitive in general than Origins and re the hunting I find far more challenging than Origins as the environments are far more varied, which I think makes it more challenging as well.

Kass is a magnificent creature, dare I say a goddess.  

In all honesty Sparta Kick is great fun but its a pain sometimes trying to find the body to loot it and there are better abilities. Ring of Chaos is better as it blasts multiple enemies and not as far and does great damage as well as your spear levels up.

Are you using Rush Assassinate? General plan with forts is find the point closest to the signal fire and check out the easiest way to get to it. Clear the wall so there aren't guards up there to spot you, you can sneak/crouch walk to most of them as long as you come from the side or behind them and assassinate them. Some will be on those little towers and Rush Assassinate is great because once you target them you can hit RA and teleport up and assassinate them. Otherwise you can just climb the ladder and it usually puts you behind them. Clearing the wall is so important that if another guard goes up there I usually go back up and kill them. In some of the forts if you can be patient enough you'll notice there are some guard spots where guards will constantly replace a guard if they are eliminated. So you can just wait and pick them off as they keep coming up. Also the tents and towers are great to sit on and assassinate guards as they walk beneath you.

If your assassinations aren't outright killing guards that's when Heroic Strike is great. Hit assassinate and if it doesn't kill them then hit HS and it either kills them without creating a fuss or at least knocks them to the ground.

You can use "Carry" to pick up guys you just killed and dump them in bushes or water etc so other guards don't see them and light the fire or start looking for you. "Recruit" is for recruiting them to The Adrestia.

Meant to say before, early on its worth investing in flame or poison as it add extra damage to your attacks. I use Poison as flame can cause unexpected accidents, for example drawing a flaming arrow for your bow when in one of the dry brown looking bushes will set you on fire!!!! 

Another thing "EPIC" gear is better than most the Legendary stuff because it has an extra engraving. If you go with poison look for gear that ha extra poison damage.

To retrieve the eye (damn that's a funny scene) you just have to go hunt goats (you need leather ALWAYS anyway) in the NE of Kephallonia and you'll eventually kill THE goat and get a trophy. 

What platform are you playing on? 

Spoilers Alert

So the last two days have been concentrating on killing cultists and completing the family quest.

I have now killed all the Cultists after fighting in The Arena for an hour yesterday (god I hate that) except for the Ghost which I will do today after going to Lesbos and doing The Medusa quests. That is the last Mythical creature I have to kill for the Atlantis stuff. Then will go home and catch up with the family having completed all that chain after killing Kleon yesterday.

Looking forward to starting Atlantis DLC after that, disappointed I can't finish Barnabas's quest to find his wife due to the glitch in the witches location and assume that means I can't find his daughter. Actually just remembered I have the "One Bad Day" tale to do, so will complete that before I start Atlantis as well.

If anyone has any tips for completing Atlantis (what to prioritise and any other hints) first episode I'd be pleased to hear them.

Everyone needs good friends:



Kass found some time for some loving between killing Cultists etc.



Last two cultists bite the dust:

Meant to mention the easiest way to get the best recruits like some of the mercenaries is to use "paralysis arrows" when yo can access them to take them down.

Barnabas will give you a quest to recruit an archer from a small island that will give you the recruitment tutorial.

Think you can re-map the keys.

Sorry knew you are playing on PC but are you playing it on STEAM or UPLAY or neither. If either PM me and I'll give you my ID's if you want and we can chat in game if you want to.
