It's the sidequest about burning plague infested bodies for Hippokrates before you go to the next plot objective. It's almost impossible to miss it.
does running around/riding on a horse ever get good? Am I missing something or is there no manual way to sprint/gallop on a horse? Been enjoying most of my time with AC but the lack of sprint is infuriating.
I never got that quest... was it in the spot where you help 3 doctors?
Odyssey will be my first Platinum ever I believe. Not that I havent done pretty much everything in games before, just Im not a achievement guy so I never really go out of the way. For example, I did "everything" in Origins and I didnt get the Plat. Im sure I missed some silly thing like the trophy here in Odyssey to
. I just never really check guides, for whatever reason I did this time. From looking at it, and seeing as I'm only missing 4 trophies, I imagine those 4 are
I guess? Something like that I'm sure.
get the cyclops eye back from a goat
finish chapter 8, finish chapter 9, kill all cultists and finish the game
Whats up with the level jump in the Minotaur quest? Im level 32 and was looking forward to culmination of the quests only to find the next step jumps from 32 to 40...feel bad leaving that kid at the maze entrance while I go tackle the family related quests half way across the map.
In regards to the Korinth storyline, I finally made my decision.
I know of the consequences, but I will deal with them when I get to that point in the story.
What matters to me at this point is that I was looking for Anthousa from the start and I agreed to help her. It feels wrong to go back on my word at the first opportunity. And honestly, Brasidas needs to come up with a better reason than "it's better for Sparta" to convince me to do things his way. My Kassandra doesn't particularly care for Sparta after they decided it was best to throw her off a cliff.

I accidentally bumped into that scene on YouTube.
It was hard to watch. I'm geting closer to that moment in my own playthrough and I'm not looking forward to it one bit.
That said, having played through most of Korinth's storyline by now, I can definitely see the death flags. Girl just won't keep her nose out of dangerous situations, even when I repeatedly tell her she should for her own safety.
Still sad, though. I guess it's not a real AC game until someone close to the protagonist dies through forces outside their control.

Not really...only way to go full speed is to stick to roads and be far enough away from a town\city.
i will say i appreciated it a lot that, right after phoibe died, kassandra had the exact same initial reaction i did which is basically "i am going to wring aspasia's neck for this," even though you dont get to follow through on it
no, situations like that one are a tradition in these games iirc
Just did that quest chain today. Yeah it it is pretty dumb
Even if you let the priest kill the family with the plague? I figured her death was a result of me saving that family and the plague took over the island and Phoibe had to leave to avoid it.
They need to reduce the invisible town/fort/etc. borders where Phobos will refuse to gallop. The moment you cross the city gate, you should be allowed to sprint. End of story.
Encampments and forts shouldnt't have these borders at all. I know of this one camp near Korinth that consists of a torn down wall near the road, while the actual camp stands on the hill at the end of said wall. No problem sprinting past it, you'd think, except Phobos will grind to a halt if you follow the road and come too close to the completely deserted wall.
I guess it's because of 'balance' reasons, as you can't call Phobos in a restricted (red compass) area either (or save for that matter). Maybe the developers thought it would make the game too easy. I disagree. I think hit and run tactics should be a viable approach. Run into a fort, loot/kill/destroy what you intended to and then make a quick getaway on Phobos. Sounds like a blast. The bounty you get for getting noticed is penalty enough.

I assumed that they slowed down the horse near the cities to give time to the game to load the textures properly... I say this because sometimes the game would freeze while running full speed and you can move the camera around and see the textures getting more detail and then the game "un-freeze" and you continue as normal.
I think it's been mentioned earlier, but what's the best order in which to complete the main three storylines for the best sense of closure and avoiding spoilers?
Ah I didnt do any side quests cause it was 2 am and I just wanted to go to bed. Damnit I don't think have another save i could pull
Holy shit, the scene at the end of "Monger Down"
was brutal, almost hilariously so.
when you let Anthousa and her hetaerae go stabbity stab
was brutal, almost hilariously so.
I realized just now while marking and infiltrating a fort...this game is literally greek MGSV gameplay.....and thats great.
If only it had the amount of tools to fuck around with enemies that MGSV had.
yeah but does MGSV have Shadow of Nyx and Rush Assassination?
MGSV has a rocket fist, sky lightning, and incredibly stupid-looking inflatable decoy dummies.
And done. 113 hours, my first ever Platinum, every zone fully cleared of ?s, spear lvl 6, every item legendary including ship items, every side quest (proper ones of course) done except for those two that constantly need more Polemarch seals because fuck those even for my crazy ass, that's it I guess. I felt the burn around the 90 hour mark, but then Elis and some other zone brought me back and I wasnt burned out until the end, as I said, I even kept doing the ?s (for no reason really) I will happily buy the season pass when they announce the AC3 release date, as judging by this game and Origin's DLC, the DLC for this should be fantastic, especailly since with the engraving system new legendaries can bring new things for your specs, and of course we can even get new talents maybe? Certainly new sets at least.
I was sure Monster Hunter World would be my GOTY, it held strong against God of War and Spider-Man for me, but for my particular tastes, this one might beat it, I'll have to think about it.

Ubi forums have lots of posts on the stuttering and freezing. If you haven't, please go there and add to it. Anything to keep the exposure up.
Post-game blues are very real, especially with long ass games (
First time in this game I explicitely said no to a minor "fetch" quest.
Dude asked for me on the Message Board. I go to him and he turns out to be a possessive creep who wants me to kill a woman whom he considers a rival in love for "his" Anthousa.
"I will wait here if you reconsider," he said. I don't think so, asshole. Here, enjoy this arrow through your head.

Just got around to checking out the Ubisoft Club rewards. It's actually a pretty cool concept that Ubisoft don't rlgrt any credit for - essentially trading achievement points for cosmetics and weapons. Got Evie and the all female ship screw which is pretty awesome. All of the weapons there seemed like garbage though.
I haven't found them yet, but I imagine there's an amazon crew skin you can unlock. I've received a few crew skins from doing sidequests.
you get a legendary one at the end of the animal questline
you can find others in the underwater chest locations that get marked on ur map
Good to know. I'm still using the same default losers dressed in rags at level 26. My ship is looking spiffy but my crew is so ugly!
When you have an all-female crew, they actually change the voice actors for your boat songs. It's a nice touch. As far as I can tell they mostly sing the same songs, though.
That's awesome! Just need some femme lieutenants. Haven't done like any recruiting either.
You can loot two of them from shipwrecks and you get one as a reward for a certain quest chain.
I'll put the locations of the shipwrecks and the quest chain in different spoilers.
Female bandits - Sunken Wreck of Datis near the south coast of Delos
Female Followers of Ares - Dorion Underwater Cave at the southernmost tip of Lakonia
Female Followers of Ares - Dorion Underwater Cave at the southernmost tip of Lakonia
Daughters of Artemis - complete the legendary animal quest chain for Daphnae and make the right choice at the end.
When three Athenian soldiers stop to join the fight between a mercenary and a group of Followers of Ares, and they pick the side of the deranged cannibals.
I use parry constantly because while making it Q is dumb, it obviously should've been E, the AOE stagger from it gives me the breathing space for a charged heavy and also stops me from getting murdered.
Just saw the title card pop up for someone on a Twitch stream...their reaction: "you have got to be shitting me, that was the tutorial???"
Good luck!
Good luck!
Yes, but not only do you not know any of the songs, you don't know any of the words. It doesn't make them any worse, but it does make them less singable.
I'm fine with that. Can you pull the camera out like in Black Flag? That always made the long travel distances more tolerable.
I'm playing as Alexios, I love it. He sounds so freaking stupid at times, laughing my ass off at times haha.
I just got introduced to Kassandra at the cult meeting, she seems so much better to be honest, at least the VO, but I don't think I have it in me to restart the game to change protag.
You can use "travel speed" which lowers the sail and zoom the camera out quite a lot, so you can freely look around.
