Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey—All Underwater Locations And How To Find Them

Brownk2 — Thu, 24 Jun 2021 15:14:27 +0000

What are the Underwater Locations in Assassin's Creed: Odyssey?

One of the most unique aspects of Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey is the enormous open-world map, which is significantly larger than any other game in the franchise so far. Approximately 50% of this map is water, and so players will spend much of the game travelling on the Adrestia. What many players miss, however, is the fact that the sea in Odyssey isn’t just something to travel over—there are 42 underwater locations in the game to be completed.

If players wish to unlock the Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey ‘Child of Poseidon Trophy and Achievement’, all of these locations must be completed and players that aspire towards the platinum trophy will need to collect this trophy first. These underwater locations can provide the players with loot like new armor sets, weapons, gold, ship designs, crews, and more. Once every location has been completed, the trophy or achievement will pop automatically. These locations do not need to be completed in any particular order, and those that aren’t on Kephallonia become accessible as soon as you unlock the Adrestia in Sequence 2 of the story.

Sail aboard The Adrestia in search of underwater treasures.

Players should use Ikaros to mark the underwater treasures and the sharks that are usually found patrolling the area close by. The best way to clear out these locations is by sailing directly to them and then eliminating the sharks with a bow and arrow before diving in. Fighting the sharks is also possible by melee weapons under the water, but this wastes breath and leaves players vulnerable to attack. Kassandra/Alexios will have breath meters that players ought to keep an eye on, indicated by the blue bar above the health meter. While in the water, you can also lunge forward for a speed burst, but lunging in the water will cause the breath meter to deplete faster.

Below, we have listed out all 42 locations in alphabetical order, accompanied by a video indicating where the treasure is hidden in each location. We have also included the objectives to complete in each, what players will find there in terms of crews and ship designs, and if there is a main or side quest pertaining to that location. If there is anything of interest to note about this location, we have mentioned that, too.

1. Aigisthos Palace

2 Loot Treasure

This particular location in eastern Argolis is extremely deep, and the second treasure chest is not close to the actual palace ruins, making it hard to spot—the above video indicates where you will find it.

2. Alekto Shipwreck

2 Loot Treasure
Lion Figurehead (Figurehead)

The treasure that you are searching for here off the coast of the Isle of Thisvi is not in the shipwreck, but can be found in through the cave entrance next to the sunken ship.

3. Anaphi Shipwreck

1 Loot Treasure

Quest: Catch and Release

This treasure is best collected while on the small island during the ‘Catch and Release’ quest. It is easy to locate as you don’t have to dive underwater—the treasure chest is instead located on the wrecked ship on the beach.

4. Ariabignes Shipwreck

Find Ainigmata Ostraka
2 Loot Treasure
Spartans (Crew Theme)

Quest: Test of Character

This treasure can be acquired while searching for the ‘protective eye’ during the ‘Test of Character’ quest.

5. Cave of Wealth

1 Loot Treasure

Quest: The Pre-Trial of Endurance

This treasure is easy to locate during the quest ‘The Pre-Trial of Endurance’ if you swim inside the underwater cavern as in the video above.

6. Dorion Underwater Cave

1 Loot Treasure
Followers of Ares - Male (Crew Theme), Followers of Ares - Female (Crew Theme).

This treasure found in southern Lakonia is again made more difficult to find due to the dim lighting and the tricky location of the underwater cave entrance, but once Ikaros has located the chest it shouldn’t be too hard to find.

7. Hermit's Dive

1 Loot Treasure
The Prancing Pegasos (Ship Design)

Quest: Blood in the Water

This treasure is located in the Swordfish’s hideout during ‘Blood in the Water’, in the corner of the room, and can be looted once he is dead.

8. Islet of Zeus

1 Loot Treasure
Quest Item: Prokris's Necklace

Quest: Shark the Vagrant

This treasure can be found very early on in the game while still on Kephallonia during the ‘Shark the Vagrant’ quest, and will probably be the first underwater location you will complete.

9. Ketos Shipwreck

2 Loot Treasure

Quest: Crewless

This treasure must be looted during the quest ‘Crewless’ and is easy to locate. Following this quest, Kassandra has the option to recruit Gelon to the Adrestia.

10. Ktesipos's Shipwreck

1 Loot Treasure

This treasure is again easy to locate, and is best done early in the game while still on Kephallonia.

11. Nereides Monument

2 Loot Treasure

This treasure is easy to find, but swimming from the shore out to the ruins takes some time so it would be wise to sail out by boat. This monument is located off the coast of Mount Koryphum in Argolis.

12. Olympic Shipwreck

2 Loot Treasure
Pegasos Figurehead (Figurehead)

This treasure located off the coast of Elis is underneath the deck of the ship, so make sure to resurface for air if it is hard to locate.

13. Palace of Amphitrite

3 Loot Treasure
Cult of Kosmos (Crew Theme), Scions (Crew Theme)

Quest: The Gods of the Aegean Sea

There are three chests to locate in the palace ruins that are found between Thera and Paros, one of which is a hint about a cult member in the quest-line ‘Gods of the Aegean Sea’. It is probably best to come up for air before searching for the third chest.

14. Pavlopetri

2 Loot Treasure
The Hound of Hades (Ship Design)

The second chest containing the Hound of Hades ship design is tricky to locate, underneath the ruins that can be found off the coast of the Dioskouroi Peninsula in Lakonia.

15. Persian Remains

2 Loot Treasure
Persians (Crew Theme)

These chests are easy to locate and find off the coast of Lokris.

16. Phaleron Sunken Harbor

1 Loot Treasure
Athenians (Crew Theme)

This treasure is extremely easy to find in these ruins in Phaleron Sandy Bay, and should pose no issues.

17. Phoibean Lagoon

2 Loot Treasure
The Satyr (Ship Design)

The Phoibean Lagoon at Salamis is another easy location to complete.

18. Polydektes Lagoon

1 Loot Treasure

This treasure off the coast of the Pirate Islands can be found by swimming through the darkened underwater cave, but is not hard to locate.

19. Poseidon's Fury

3 Loot Treasure
Eagle Figurehead (Figurehead)

There are again three chests to locate in these ruins north of Patrai in Achaia, so it is best to come up for hair before searching for the third.

20. Prototype Trireme of Ameinokles

1 Loot Treasure
Elite Spartans (Crew Theme)

With just one chest to find in the Korinthian Gulf, this location is relatively easy to complete.

21. Purrhos the Red

1 Loot Treasure

With just one chest to find in Pandora’s Cove, Malis, this location is relatively easy to complete.

22. Ruins of Arne

1 Loot Treasure

Quest: Language of the Ancients

In order to open this chest, which is found in Lake Kopais, Boeotia, players will need to swim forward to the skeleton nearby and loot the key to unlock it. This location is part of the ‘Language of the Ancients’ quest but can be completed before this quest opens up.

23. Ruins of the Sea People

2 Loot Treasure

Skip to 1:37 in the above video to find out where the chests are in between the Silver Islands. One is located underneath some ruins, but they are not hard to locate.

24. Shark Bay

1 Loot Treasure

Quest: The Elixir

This treasure is found during the ‘Elixir’ quest-line. Skip to 2:20 in the above video to locate the chest in Shark Bay.

25. Shipwreck

2 Loot Treasure
Octopus Figurehead (Figurehead)

No location is specified for the shipwreck simply called ‘Shipwreck’, but this particular shipwreck can be located out at sea north west of the Cradle of Myths.

26. Shipwreck Cove

Cultist Clue
3 Loot Treasure

There are four items to locate in Shipwreck Cove—two treasure chests above ground, one treasure chest underwater, and one cultist clue. The cultist clue is located in the nearby rocks and is tricky to find even when close-by.

27. Shipwreck of Ajax

2 Loot Treasure
Quest Item: Thaletas' Helmet

Quest: Thaletas’ Way

This location can be found during the ‘Thaletas’ Way’ questline. You have the option of lying to Thaletas and saying you couldn’t find the helmet so as to keep it for yourself, or returning it. The second chest in this location is found by swimming through a dark cave next to the shipwreck.

28. Shipwreck of Dionysos and the Pirate

2 Loot Treasure
The Stargazer (Ship Design)

These chests off the coast of Naxos are not hard to find.

29. Shipwreck of Nestor

2 Loot Treasure
Serpent Figurehead (Figurehead)

The two chests located beside this shipwreck off the island of Schiza are easy to find.

30. Smuggler's Shipwreck

2 Loot Treasure
The Chimera (Ship Design)
Quest item: Achilles's Dagger

Quest: Blood and Water

This treasure can be found during the Blood and Water quest in Euboea, south of the Forgotten Ruins of Makris.

31. Stormfall Bay

2 Loot Treasure
The Silent Serpent (Ship Design)

These two chests at Stormfall Bay are easy to locate and shouldn’t pose a challenge.

32. Submerged Minoan Palace

1 Loot Treasure

Quest: We're Treasure Hunters

This treasure can only be located during the quest ‘We’re Treasure Hunters’ which opens up directly after ‘We’re not Thieves’. ‘We’re Treasure Hunters’ can end in three different ways—you can lie to Obelia, you can give her the treasure, or you can kill her.

33. Sunken Ruins

1 Loot Treasure

Quest: Say That Again!

This treasure can be found during the small side quest ‘Say That Again!’ on the western side of Messara but can also be located without doing the quest. We recommend doing the quest even if purely for the blacksmith’s reward, as it is extremely easy.

34. Sunken Temple of Aphrodite

1 Loot Treasure

Quest: The Tribute

This treasure is located during the side-quest ‘Tribute’ which opens up at the Site of Iphigenia’s Sacrifice once ‘Chasing Phantoms’ is complete.

35. Sunken Temple of Demeter

1 Loot Treasure

There is only one chest to find here off the coast of Achaia and so it should not pose a challenge.

36. Sunken Temple of Eileithyia

2 Loot Treasure

These two chests are located within the ruins off the coast of Messara and so can prove a little harder to locate.

37. Sunken Wreck of Datis

Find Ainigmata Ostraka
2 Loot Treasure

There are three items to find in this location off the south-western coast of Delos but they are all easy to locate and easily accessible.

38. Underwater Cavern

3 Loot Treasure
Quest Item: Triton's Shell of the Titans

Quest: She Who Controls the Seas

This location is part of the side-quest ‘She Who Controls The Seas’ given to you by Xenia after you complete the mission ‘Sacred Vow’. Xenia gives you two maps, one of which is fake—Triton’s Shell is located in Makedonia, as in the above video. The three chests can be found by accessing the underwater cavern and swimming through.

39. Underwater Cavern

2 Loot Treasure
Barbarians (Crew Theme)

Though no location is specified, this cavern refers to one which is found off the coast of Attika.

40. Underwater Ruins of Dyspontion

2 Loot Treasure

The treasure in these ruins in Elis is very easy to find and shouldn’t pose a challenge.

41. Vouliagmeni Sinkhole

1 Loot Treasure

This treasure in Attika is again easy to find and shouldn’t pose a challenge.

42. Wreckage of the Lost Bandit

1 Loot Treasure

This location on Kephallonia is one that you can complete very early in the game, and as such is quite easy to find.

Conclusion

And so, there we have it. All 42 locations. This is a challenging trophy to obtain, in part because some of the locations are hard to find, hard to clear, or even easy to miss. The best way to clear all 42 locations is to simply do them over the course of the game and not all at once, since most of the locations are on opposing sides of the map. Alternatively, players working towards the “Hermes’ Homie” trophy can do them in conjunction. One important final thing to note is that there is no trophy or achievement that can be obtained for finishing the game on a higher difficulty, and so players can complete the game on Easy Mode without worrying that they might miss out.

Good luck on your quest!

Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey—All Mythical Creatures And How To Find Them

Brownk2 — Thu, 24 Jun 2021 11:56:32 +0000

Mythical Creatures or Legendary Creatures?

As a student of Classics who has long awaited an open-world RPG set in the promising, fascinating, and enthralling setting of ancient Greece, Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey felt like a dream come true upon its release. The Assassin's Creed franchise has always blended together historical accuracy with the supernatural superstitions, literature, and beliefs of the past. Since Origins they have expanded upon the magical and mystical elements that the historical setting of each game offers, and Odyssey goes even further than Origins in this sense. In this article, we will look at the Mythical Creatures that appear in this game—the Sphinx, the Cyclops, the Minotaur, and Medusa. This is not a step-by-step guide as to how you will defeat these Creatures, but is instead a guide that will aid you in finding them, and a review of the difficulty involved in doing so.

The creators of Odyssey take full advantage of the rich mythology of the classical Greek era. The fascinating source material shines through with terrifying beasts, cursed men and women, and dangerous Demi -gods prowling throughout the game’s open world. While players will mostly take on pirates, soldiers, and members of the Cult of Kosmos, one of the most appealing aspects of the game is the potential to come face-to-face with some of the highly intriguing creatures scattered across Greek literature.

As part of the ‘Goddesses’ Hunt’ quest-line which is given to players by Daphnae of the Daughters of Artemis, players can fight against some of the legendary animals of Greek Mythology, such as Kalisto the Bear, the Erymanthian Boar, the Kretan Bull, and the Nemian Lion. The Erymanthian Boar in particular puts up one of the toughest fights in the game, due to the fact that his poisonous fart cloud—yes, his poisonous fart cloud—can easily choke you to death.

The Erymanthian Boar is one of the toughest fights in the game.

While these Legendary Creatures do pose an exciting challenge, they are often easily confused with the four Mythical Creatures. It is these Creatures and the side quests leading up to them that really strike a chord with players, as these are some of the hardest, most gruelling, and most interesting fights in the game.

Coming face-to-face with these Mythical Creatures is only possible around mid-way through the main story, once the ‘Between Two Worlds’ quest-line has opened up. This quest is given to players once they have entered the ruins on the island of Thera. After meeting your true father and discovering the existence of Atlantis, you will unlock a quest-line called the ‘Gates of Atlantis’. To open the gate, you will be tasked with finding four lost Isu artifacts that were stolen and which are now dispersed all across the Greek world. Obviously, the artifacts are not simply scattered across the map, waiting for you to come across them. They instead are in the possession of the four Mythical Creatures who you will have to face, starting with the Sphinx.

Try your hand at outwitting the Sphinx.

If you are anything like me, you will probably want to immediately drop everything else in the game and set out in search of the Sphinx. I highly recommend that you reign yourself in, and just wait until later in the game, once the main story is complete or at least almost complete. At the end of the day, Kassandra/Alexios might be the heroic ‘Eagle Bearer’, moulded in the image of Oedipus, Odysseus, Theseus, and Perseus, but we are not.

The Lore of the Sphinx (Level 34)

How to find the Sphinx

The Sphinx is unique among the Mythical Creatures. There is no winding and complex side-quest involved in order to get to her—you just have to discover her location and force her to appear. This is achieved by entering the Strange Ruins in Boeotia where you will find a statue of the Sphinx and a man called Gorgias who will direct you to find his apprentice Pibos.

Pibos, like you, was in search of the missing half of the Sphinx Medallion, but unlike you (hopefully), he met his rather unfortunate demise in doing so. By defeating the Alpha Lion that lives in the Tomb of Menoikeus, you will find the half of the Sphinx Medallion that you need. After heading back to the Strange Ruins to place the Medallion in the statue, you will find that Gorgias and the statue of the Sphinx have vanished.

The Sphinx will at last appear in her true form. I was mentally prepared—though not at all physically prepared—for a boss-fight at that moment in my first play-through. Greek literature ought to have provided me with a hint as Oedipus, in his famously sombre story, never raised his blade against the Sphinx at Thebes—he solved her riddle. I was therefore fortunate that I never received the battle I was anticipating. Beating the Sphinx instead requires you to answer three of her riddles correctly, so if wits are your strong suit, or if you’ve made it this far in the game by just looking for cheats online, this quest will suit you perfectly.

Overall, I enjoyed the Sphinx storyline. In part this was because it tied in with my favorite Greek tragedy, Sophocles’ Oedipus Rex, but also because it lured me into thinking that the Mythical Creatures would be no challenge at all because of how deceptively easy it was. Believing that the remainder of the Mythical Creatures will also put up a fight no more taxing than a stroll in the park, you may set out next to find the Cyclops.

A God Among Men (Level 35)

The questline that culminates with a fight against the Cyclops begins on the island of Kythera. He isn’t found on Kythera; instead, you are forced to embark on an extended adventure given to you by a man believing himself to be a god.

There are three quests you must complete to finally reach the Cyclops:

A God Among Men
Left to Dye
Stairway to Olympos

After completing this series of missions you will sail to the Forgotten Isle, which is found off the coast of Phokis to the west. There, you will finally confront the Cyclops.

Ultimately, the Cyclops is just a big boss fight, and the only real way to beat him, on any difficulty, is by dodging his attacks. Once the cave roof starts crumbling, too, the only way to evade getting squashed to death is to simply dodge the chunks of rock raining down.

Despite his hulking size and earth-shattering swings, it isn’t too hard to wear the Cyclops down. Like the Sphinx before him, this fight boosted my ego and hubris far more than I deserved; I was Icarus, flying higher and higher, just waiting for someone—the Minotaur, coincidently—to drag me back to earth.

Myths and Minotaurs (Recommended level of 28, but should be at least 40)

The quest to find the Minotaur is hidden away on Messara, way down along the southern border of the map. Head to Knossos Palace in the area called Minos's Legacy and find the quest ‘Myths and Minotaurs’ whereby an increasingly irritating child named Ardos will set you off on a series of missions necessary to acquire the key into the Labyrinth.

The missions given to you are:

Myths and Minotaurs
Recollections
Full Circle
Seeking Answers
He Waits

Quite a lot is involved in finding the Minotaur, compared to the Sphinx and the Cyclops. Once these missions are complete, you'll be able to head down to the catacombs, where you will follow along a golden thread that can be used to navigate your way around a maze, before facing the Minotaur.

Employing the same tactics as in the Cyclops fight is an effective way of fighting the Minotaur—dodge, dodge, dodge. However, he is a much harder enemy to defeat than the previous two opponents were combined. In the end, it only took me several dozen attempts on my Easy-Mode play-through to beat him, which was nothing at all compared to the fight with Medusa. In fact, it is really the laborious effort it takes to finally arrive at the Minotaur’s lair that makes this questline feel more difficult than it is. I did find that on my Hard Mode play-through the Minotaur fight dragged on for an exceedingly long time, so I would recommend coming to the fight over-prepared rather than simply at the suggested level.

Romancing the Stone Garden (Level 46, but really Level 50)

Medusa. Ah, Medusa.

Romancing the Stone Garden, the questline that culminates with the fight against Medusa, referred to in dialogue as the ‘Writhing Dead’, can be located in the Petrified Valley in Lesbos. I may moan a lot about how hard the Medusa fight is, but honestly, the questline involved in reaching her was one of my favorites in the game, as I have a terribly soft spot for tales revolving around star-crossed lovers. Bryce’s lover has disappeared within the ruins of the Petrified Temple found in the Petrified Forest, located deep in the Petrified Valley—they got very creative with the naming of this one.

The quests that will lead you to Medusa’s lair are:

Romancing the Stone Garden
Love's Long Shadow
A Slithery Plea
Heavy is the Spear
Hard to Artemis
Keys to Happiness
Writhing Dread

Once these quests are complete, you’ll finally face the hardest boss to fight in Odyssey, and, if you win, retrieve the final missing Artifact. Sometimes at night I have vivid nightmares about this fight, from when I played it on Easy Mode. When it came time to fight her on Hard Mode, I had flashbacks to being pummeled to death every two minutes by the Nameless King in Dark Souls. Those fights had nothing at all in common, save for the continuously recurring and increasingly infuriating loading screen that popped up every time I died.

Like any good boss fight, there are stages in the battle against Medusa. Just when you think you’ve figured out her moves, the fight kicks up a gear, and Medusa avails of her summoned minions to help her out. Ultimately, this fight can be won through some routine movements and well-timed attacks, but it drags on longer than most fights in the game, at nearly ten minutes on Easy Mode. It cannot be overstated that players need to come prepared for this battle the first time around, and armed with the best weapons.

Conclusion

Ultimately, the Mythical Creatures are one of the most enjoyable parts of Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey. On all difficulty levels they present a tough challenge to overcome, but there is no denying the huge sense of accomplishment once they have been defeated. They also pay homage to their original tales, too, in a way that serves to highlight just how successfully the game weaves together history and myth. Walking in the footsteps of the greatest heroes of Classical Mythology is an exciting opportunity for anyone with a love of the ancient world, and these fights are a gruelling, arduous, and rewarding experience for players of all kinds.

Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey—All Bandit Camp Locations and How to Find Them

Brownk2 — Thu, 24 Jun 2021 11:15:15 +0000

What are the Bandit Camps?

One of the most common enemies' players will come up against in the broad open world of Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey are bandits. There are dozens of bandit camps hidden in caves and forests, and on the beaches and mountains found across the Greek world. There are several quest-lines in the game that involve rooting out bandit camps, such as ‘Besieging Bandits’, and at these various locations players can find Ainigmata Ostraka, weapons, gold, armour, and other valuables.

Explore the huge open world of Assassin's Creed: Odyssey in search of Bandit Camps.

However, it can be extremely disarming to encounter bandits when players aren’t expecting them. This is worsened by the fact that these bandits can be several levels above you, and can potentially cut you down in a matter of seconds. We have therefore compiled an alphabetical list of the bandit camps scattered throughout the game, paired with a link to a YouTube video which will show you where this camp is on the map, and how you can complete it. Alongside the bandit camps, we have listed the objectives for each camp and the region in which players will find it.

Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey—All Cultist Locations and How to Find Them

Brownk2 — Tue, 22 Jun 2021 15:47:59 +0000

Who are the Cult of Kosmos?

Shortly into the main storyline in Assassin's Creed: Odyssey, Kassandra/Alexios becomes aware of the Cult of Kosmos, a powerful group with a unique interest in their family and bloodline. One of the main plotlines revolves around eliminating the Cult members one by one.

To unmask Cultists, players generally first need to find clues towards their identity by tracking down different Cult members and gathering information. If it says to ‘continue your odyssey’, then you will need to progress further in the game to find them. If it says to ‘help people nearby’, then players will need to complete a side quest in the vicinity of the clue. When you’ve taken out all Cultists in a group, you can hunt their Sage, and each Sage killed reveals a clue about the Ghost of Kosmos, the group’s mysterious leader.

Explore the world of Ancient Greece as you hunt down the mysterious Cult.

Finding some Cult members is at times quite difficult and the clues are often ambiguous. Therefore, we have provided some tips on how and where to find more Cultists in Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey. We have provided a link to a Youtube video indicating how each Cultist might be located, as well as their suggested levels and any related quests.

Eyes of Kosmos

1. Elpenor (Level 11)

Elpenor is the first cultist you encounter in the main story and so there are no clues need to reveal his identity.

Elpenor is killed as part of the ‘Snake in the Grass’ quest; once you have killed his body double he can be found in the Snake Temple in Phokis.

2. Sotera (Level 13)

Sotera is one of the cultists revealed after ‘The Serpent’s Lair’ quest.

Sotera is found in the Port of Nisaia on the Southeast side of Megaris. She can be found near the docks in her personal quarters by a large boat.

3. The Master (Level 19)

The clue to aid in finding the Master states that the Cultist owns a quarry and a slave operation in Attika.

To uncover The Master, the player needs to complete four specific side quests relating to Sokrates, starting with the side quest ‘Citzenship Test’ in Athens. Follow this quest chain with ‘Witness Him’, then ‘Free Speech’, and ‘On a High Horse’, which leads players to the quest ‘A Life’s Worth’ in southern Attika. During this quest players will uncover the Master and kill him.

4. Midas (Level 18)

Midas can be found after completing ‘The Serpent's Lair’ quest.

Midas will be found in the streets of Argos in the region of Argolis, usually by the Temple of Poseiden or at the Leader House. Players can track his location on the map.

5. Hermippos (Level 19)

Hermippos is revealed in one of two ways.

The first: Kill the Polemarch at Fort Phyle in northern Attika.

The second: You can also uncover the identity of this cultist by completing the Sokrates sidequest ‘Free Speech’ in Attika which is unlocked by first completing the side quests ‘Citizenship Test’, followed by ‘Witness Him’. After completing the first two side quests, you can find Sokrates at the Akropolis where the ‘Free Speech’ quest can be started. Once this quest is complete, Hermippos will appear in Athens.

6. Nyx the Shadow (Sage) (Base Level: 18)

Nyx the Shadow is the Cultist Sage of the Eyes of Kosmos, and she is revealed when all other cultists from this group are defeated.

She is located at the Agora by the Theater of Dionysos in Attika which is located to the Southeast of the Akropolis.

The Silver Vein

1. Epiktetos the Forthcoming (Level 10)

Epiktetos is killed during ‘The Serpent’s Lair’ main quest.

2. The Centaur of Euboea (Level 14)

The Centaur is one of the cultists revealed after ‘The Serpent’s Lair’ main quest.

The Chimera’s location is revealed after ‘The Serpent’s Lair’ main quest.

The Chimera is located on the island region of Andros in Steropes Bay. She is located on the southern end of the island, south of the Forge where you can travel after completing ‘The Serpent’s Lair’.

4. The Silver Griffin (Level 22)

Although the above video is longer than the others, it is useful in illustrating to players where they can find the second Silver Griffin clue.

The Silver Griffin is revealed through one clue that is dropped after killing the Chimera, and the second clue is located in Lavrio Silver Mine in Attika.

In the largest cave chamber in this mine there is an upper ledge on the left where a large chest holds the clue revealing The Silver Griffin’s identity.

Once revealed, you can find The Silver Griffin at Prasonisia island off the coast of Mykonos.

5. Machaon the Feared (Level 45)

The clue showing Machaon the Feared’s identity can be tricky to locate, but the above video illustrates where to find it.

Once revealed, you will be able to find this cultist at the Port of Patrai in the region of Achaia.

6. Polemon the Wise (Sage) (Level 50)

Polemon the Wise is revealed once all other cultists in this group have been eliminated.

Once revealed, you can find Polemon the Wise at the Teichos of Herakles Cult Stronghold, located in the region of Achaia.

The Delian League

1. Brison (Level 17)

Brison’s identity is uncovered over the course of the main story.

To reveal his identity, you must reach Attika and continue the main quest until Perikles tasks you with helping his friends. Complete the main quest ‘Escape from Athens’ to help Phidas get to Seriphos where players will receive the clue needed.

Once revealed, Brison can be found at the Salamis Marble Quarry on the Isle of Salamis.

2. Podarkes the Cruel (Level 23)

Podarkes the Cruel is exposed by engaging in a side quest.

In order to find this Cultist, players will complete the ‘Perikles's Symposium’ quest and return to The Adrestia. Then you will receive a new quest ‘Trouble in Paradise’, bringing you to Delos and Mykonos. In the follow-up to this quest, ‘Hades, Meet Podarkes’, you will you learn his identity and subsequently have the opportunity to kill him

3. Rhexenor the Hand (Level 25)

Once you reach the story point to uncover Rhexenor, you will find him in Athens.

4. Iobates the Stoic (Level 49)

Once uncovered, you can find Iobates on Lemnos.

Iobates the Stoic can be revealed by killing a mercenary by the name of Aigle, who drops a clue related to Iobates.

Skylax the Fair's Location

In order to uncover Skylax the Fair’s identity, players can go to the Xerxes Military Fort in the Lokris region, and loot the Nation Treasure Chest. Alternatively, he can be found without the clue revealing his identity.

Players will find Sklyax the Fair in Euboea. He can usually be found in the Leader's House in Chalkis City, but is surrounded by high level captains.

Alternatively, players can weaken the region and make Skylax more vulnerable. Skylax will drop in level and take to the streets of Chalkis, leaving him isolated.

2. The Monger (Level 21)

The Monger is revealed by following the main story, and as such cannot be missed. When you travel to Korinthia, you'll find the identity of The Monger, and plan to assassinate him during the quest ‘Monger Down’.

Players can choose to fight him in a cave, or make a public spectacle of him at the theater. This decision does have consequences, as players can convince another cultist to back down later in the game if they killed The Monger out of view of the public.

3. Silanos of Paros (Level 22)

Silanos of Paros is uncovered during the main story quest ‘Death and Disorder’, and can be killed during the quest ‘United Front’, while on Naxos Island. As such, he cannot be missed.

Lagos is dealt with during the series of quests titled ‘The Cult and the Archon’. The clue will point to his location in Fort Samikon, in Arkadia, which will be revealed during the main story. You will have the option to kill or spare this cultist, depending on your choices while killing the Monger.

6. Pausanias (Sage) (Level 32)

Pausanias is the sage of the Peloponneian League, revealed through a number of different quests. It is suggested that you must have enough proof to implicate Pausanias before you accuse him, but this is not true.

Regardless of whether Pausanias is exiled or not, players will still be able to kill him and reclaim their home.

Gods of the Aegean Sea

1. Asterion (Level 14)

Asterion is the first cultist of the Gods of the Aegean Sea, and is one of the cultists revealed after completing ‘The Serpent’s Lair’.

Asterion can be found sailing his ship around the island of Andros.

2. Sokos (Level 23)

Sokos’ clue can be revealed by defeating Asterion.

The clue will point you to the Obsidian Islands, and to force him out of hiding you must weaken Melos enough to engage in a Conquest Battle. His ship will then take part in the naval battle.

The Octopus is revealed by killing Sokos.

You can find her sailing between the islands of Thera and Anaphi and then attack her ship.

4. Melanthos (Level 30)

Worshippers of the Bloodline

1. Zoisme (Level 12)

Once uncovered, you can fin Zoisme at Wild Bear cave in the top center of Malis.

Zoisme is the first cultist of the Worshippers of the Bloodline. A clue given during ‘The Serpent’s Lair’ leads players to a wolf den in Phokis, where a clue is found unmasking her.

2. Chrysis (Level 16)

Chrysis is uncovered during the Main Storyline, and as such cannot be missed.

You can uncover this cultist's identity at the conclusion of the quest ‘Speak No Evil’. Once uncovered, you will face her during the quest ‘Ashes to Ashes’ but she escapes if you choose to save the baby. If you save the baby—which, I mean, I assume you will—you can find Chrysis by undertaking a nearby side quest outside Argos called ‘Death Comes for Us All’.

3. Harpalos (Level 18)

There are two ways to reveal the identity of Harpalos.

The first: You must search for the Followers of Ares who can be sometimes be found in cultist caves, or at the Pillar of Dionysos in Megaris.

5. Melite (Level 33)

6. Exekias the Legend (Sage) (Level 50)

Exekias Location

Exekias the Legend is the Sage of the Heroes of the Cult, and is also the top mercenary in all of Greece.

Because of this, you can either happen across him on your travels, or pinpoint his location by defeating all the cultists in this group.

Since all mercenaries travel around Greece and appear at random locations, you may or may not find him before you uncover his identity as the cult sage.

Deimos (Level 35)

Deimos is fought at the end of the main story, on Mount Taygetos, Lakonia, during the quest ‘Where it all Began’.
