It’s no real secret that Assassin’s Creed Odyssey has a huge map and is full of things to do. You could ignore the side quests completely, but there are some valuable rewards that can be obtained from pitching in; helping your fellow humans, even if they are hiding part of the truth. This guide will take you through each of the side quests in the game and show you how to complete them.
Getting equipment in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey is remarkably similar to how it was in Assassin’s Creed Origins. It takes a while before you start getting the good stuff, but before long you’ll be wielding some of the most powerful weapons and armour found in all of Ancient Greece. Legendary weapons and armour are the most highly coveted equipment to get, making a massive difference in how much damage you’re doing and how much you’re taking. Each equipment has very different perks and buffs you need to be aware of, so in this guide, we will explain how the inventory works and how to get the legendary armour and the best weapons.
Isolated towards the southern-most point, Kythera Island is deceptively small as it has a fair number of side quests to complete. Some include ousting a cult member, while others lead to a conflict with one of the mythical monsters of legend. This guide will go over all the side quests for the region and how to complete them.
If you want to explore a different region, head back to our [cms-block] guide for a full list of the different regions. Alternatively, there is also the [cms-block] for everything else this massive game has to throw at you.
A man will be interrogating another about the murder of his son. He asks you to investigate the scene of the crime. The warehouse is just along the beach, so go there and find the proof: A bracelet in the warehouse, the blood on the floor, and the murder weapon caked with dry blood.
Return to the father to rely what you found. You can accuse whomever, but the real murderer is the Leader of Kythera. He ll then ask you to kill the leader to avenge his son. Do so to complete the quest.
A vendor will be trying to drum up business for his adventure. You ll need 1000 drachmae to start this quest, so pay up and head to the eastern archipelago of Kythera. It soon becomes clear that the chest is empty, so return to the vendor s original location. He will run off, so feel free to kill him and get your money back, as well as a tidy bonus.
You may see this woman being attacked, so help her out before talking to her. She ll ask you to escort her to the city to tell you information about the Cult of Kosmos. You will be attacked along the way, so kill any enemies you find. She ll be reluctant to talk about the cult, but she ll mention her sister who has been kidnapped.
Towards the east of the island near the dock, you ll find the harbourmaster. Talk to him and he ll ask you to rescue some people from the nearby warehouse. The fort is visible from where you speak to him, so head over there and rescue them.
Once you ve rescued all three, return to him and he ll ask you to kill people on an island south of Kythera. They re close to the shipwreck so swim from the southern most point of Kythera and kill the Captain to complete the quest. Your character will notice something amiss.
In the ruins towards the centre of the island, you ll see a satchel of poison hidden within, towards the highest building. It will be guarded by bandits, but they shouldn’t be much of a problem at this stage. Grab it and return to Diona for your reward.
Towards the north of the island, you ll find a priestess who will tell you about a traitor in their midst. A handmaiden hasn t returned from a spying mission. Head to the east of Pilgrim Hill to the farm to find some cultists standing over the handmaiden s corpse. Kill them and retrieve the note for the priestess.
After completing all three of the previous quests, you ll be asked to meet a handmaiden in a villa. Go there and talk to her to have Diona come to you. You may choose to seduce her at this point. It turns out that once she s done, she ll have some cultist soldiers attack you. Interrogate the handmaiden. Head to her sister by the altar to the north. Sadly, they re identical twins, so you ll need to decide which one is the real Diona. To save you some time, the one on the right is Diona, so choose her and kill her. Talk to the Priestess to finish the quest. If you kill the priestess by mistake, you ll need to manually hunt down Diona, so be sure to get it right. She ll also reveal some intel about a man called Melite.
A civilian wants you to look for her husband who went hunting for Lynx. Head to the cave near the centre of the island where you ll find a few Lynx. Hunt them down and enter the cave. Carry the man out of the cave and back to his wife for your reward.
A peasant will ask for your help with the local priestesses harassing him. If you agree, the priestesses will threaten you, but leave you to it. Head the the fort towards the docks and liberate him. Return to him to find the civilian dead and the priestess standing over his corpse.
Empedokles will ask you to find a disk a thief stole from him, he will be very close by, so defeat him and his guards. Return the disk and Empedokles will then address his people. This will unlock the quest Stairway to Olympos, which you can find out more about in our [cms-block] guide.
That’s all the side quests that we have so far for the region of Lakonia, but there are plenty of other regions that will need your help. Head on back to our [cms-block] guide for more information about another quest-line or another region’s set of side quests.
Assassin’s Creed Odyssey is a massive game, no doubt about that. In fact, you can’t zoom out all the way to see just how big it really is. Encompassing Ancient Greece into a game is no small feat, so when you first visit the map on the pause screen, you may feel overwhelmed. I know I did when I first looked at it. But for those who want to have a handy reference, this guide will simply go over how big the map is, and what the icons mean.
Due to its colossal size, the Ancient Greek world of Assassin’s Creed Odyssey can be bit of a labyrinth to navigate.

There’s a slew of new features too, such as romancing NPCs and meaningful dialogue choices. In this collection of guides, we will cover everything you need to know: from the basics of combat, which gameplay mode to choose, the multiple side quests, how to hunt the cultists, explain the new skills and how to deal with the mercenaries.
While it is perhaps the rarest of all the resources in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, Orichalcum ore isn’t the most efficient way to get good gear. It’s a special mineral that can only be redeemed at a certain shop the territory of Phokis and it’s remarkably hard to come obtain a lot of. You’ll only be able to find it by completing certain quests from the bulletin boards, or on the very odd occasion they can be found in very remote locations. Our guide will go over how to collect this valuable resource, as well as summarise what little you can spend it on.
Set in the Peloponnesian war, Assassin’s Creed Odyssey depicts the fierce fighting between Athens and Sparta was fierce and bloody. Due to plotting and scheming on both sides, many lives were lost. This war is simulated by having each region assign a leader in place to keep the peace.

This guide will tell you how to trigger these skirmishes, as well as detail the point of taking over territory. (more…)
Engravings are earned in multiple ways. They’re normally obtained either with level ups, or by completing quests. However, the best ones being reserved for finding the locations described in the riddles contained within the Ainigmata Ostraka, found in certain key locations in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey.

This guide has all the solutions to the Ainigmata Ostraka, as well as details on how to equip engravings.
After finding a very important person in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, you are told of a place you need to visit. Tucked away and hidden from plain sight, there’s one other big thing that is just waiting to be discovered: Atlantis. Yes, that Atlantis. You can actually explore the fabled lost city and it is quite a striking place full of technology from the ancient civilisation.

So this guide will go over how to get into Atlantis, as well as give tips on how to kill the legendary monsters guarding certain artefacts you need to unlock the secrets within.
Assassin’s Creed Odyssey introduces choice as a major tipping point, with each one having an impact on how things progress. Some choices will merely affect the outcome of the quest, but some affect the events going forward, permanently affect the world itself, and even which ending you will get when it’s all over. This guide will go through the importance of making choices, and which choices are important for knowing how to get the best ending.
