On a side note, the dlc continues the story, right? I'll have to get that at some point.
Yeah it's not a good feeling. Like even though I finished the game, I lost. I'll have to do a NG+ some day and make better choices.

There was a moment before he killed her where I could have saved her I think. Right before he gets close enough to kill her you have a dialogue choice to threaten his life or keep trying to spare him.
Depends on the buff. Active weapon effects like fire or poison damage only apply to the one you're wielding, while stat increases and ability modifiers apply even if the weapon is holstered.
110 hours, level 65 and all 3 main storylines are DONE! What a ride, fantastic fucking game. I still have a like half of the lost tales of Greece to do, and the second DLC pack. I may take a break though and jump into the Spider-Man DLC that I never got around to.
Question for those of you that finished the Cult of Kosmos storyline.
Ohh also overall all 3 ending thoughts.
Wheeeww either way, really enjoyed this ride, and I really hope they build on these implications.
Question for those of you that finished the Cult of Kosmos storyline.
Did you end up letting Aspasia live? and did you romance her? I just couldn't, I had to take her down. But I'm wondering what happens if you let her live and/or romance her?
Ohh also overall all 3 ending thoughts.
there are a shit ton of implications here for the rest of the series. Basically Kassandra is alive for the entire history of the Assassin Order. I mean it seemed to me it was hinted that she was some how involved behind the scenes maybe pushing the order, helping it out in places. I have to wonder if we're going to get a sequel with her. Shit you could have it take place anywhere in the history of the Assassin order. Let her give the spear to Herodotus and take on a regular assassin hidden blade.

Fuck no. That woman is a liar (as the cultist clues say), she's manipulative, and she got Phoibe killed. I murdered the shit out of her. :P
I kissed her. I think there was a little more dialogue, and then nothing happens after, she basically just disappears from the game world, same as if you killed her, and it still marks her as "defeated."
Yeah this was pretty much my reasoning as well.
specially the Phoibe part, bitch had to die just for that
Loot war supplies before you burn them, and cleave a lot of ships in two.
Just finished the 2nd DLC minutes ago.
I gotta say .. I really admire Ubisoft's content road map. The new story plus side missions are a good couple of hours and obviously you'll be leveling up by other radiant things like conflicts etc all the while, although XP accumulation is just as incredibly slow as before without any kind of boosters.
I like the story of the DLC so far and am eagerly awaiting the third (and final ?) DLC chapter.Odyssey is by far the best AC game over the last many years and I'm glad Ubisoft are putting more into this game instead of immediately severing all bridges and jumping into development of the next one.

That baby has a very creepy laugh and animation.
Have you been upping your mercenary rank? Has you move up you get perks, and one of them is that it cuts upgrade prices.
There's still 1 more episode of the DLC left. A fitting epilogue to your odyssey hopefully.
edit: I forgot, there's supposed to be a 3 piece Atlantis story arc as well.
Well, never played an Assassin's Creed in my (sooo long ;) gamer's life and still I fancy Ancient Greece and heard good things re: how AC had become a good WRPG took the plunge during XMas sale...
... 65h later, in barely 40 days, hit level 50 just reaching episode 7 of the story.
This game is so funny:
- Forts invasions going south with reinforcements and Mercenaries wreaking havoc
- Side-missions going from "glorified copy-paste" to plain "WOW !, side quest ?"
- Abilities make fighting quite interesting with increased tiers offering new possibilities (boucing rush assassination between Elite can be fun)
- great gameplay loop with new abilities, new gear, new upgrades for the ship (ship fights only become balanced when once one has significantly upgraded the ship, at leaston Hard)...
- ... which lasts until late into the game (now re-tuning my build with mastery levels, pumping up the Crit % on full health)
- conquests offer different gameplay though not very deep, nice "side-activity" (though some Greek Gwent would be best)
-
- Nice to meet historical figures such as Perikles, Eurypides, Sokrates...
With a family of four, busy work, 65h in 40 days, never thought I would get so much into an AC game (is this an AC game ?), kudos to Ubisoft for the gorgeous and engrossing game!
Not there yet, stay tuned...

the Kyea sidequest is really involved and quite the nice story, ended bittersweet for me with Kyra sobbing through our parting ways, could see Kassandra coming back to her once her adventures are over, other "romances" are quite shallow - though I guess it can be broken if one goes straight after the Leader

Mythical creatures are really challenging and somewhat frightening, was clanching my pad quite hard as I progressed through the maze to face the Minotaur, who I somehow beat on my first try... speaking of such creatures, the Cyclops was much harder - at least for a assassin/warrior - and I had to go down to Normal to beat him. Of note that while on hard I almost got him a few times, he had much less health on Normal, better, and much less challenging fighting moves, bad... wished opponents were less spongy in hard, with same challenge as far as fighting style is concerned

Nice, I think there's one or two already in the game that I haven't done yet too. Ice come close to getting the season pass a few times but there's still plenty of sidequests I haven't done yet.
Did my game bug out? I have a mission to collect 3 seals from Spartan Polemarchs and do some sabotage in their camps... so I do that for a while, and I swear I had 3 seals, but I also levelled up. Unfortunately I spent my upgrade point on the wrong ability. Instead of spending money to respec I figured it'd be just as easy to reload the game to a save from a minute ago (when I levelled). Anyway, I do that and begin heading back to turn in the quest, but I realize I don't have 3 seals. Huh? Well it's possible I was mistaken and only collected two (though I'm 90% there were three separate seals in my inventory) but the real issue is that the quest progress is telling me I only have ONE seal, when there are clearly TWO in my inventory. So, what the hell? lol my last save before taking this mission is HOURS old... do I have to revert back to fix this? Or am I just dumb? I hope it's the latter.
Monthly update is set for tomorrow according to Assassin's Creed twitter (no statement, just answering the 234 people asking). We sold have more informations about the next episode.
Can't wait to see again my husband-who-I-don't-even-remember-the-name. Hope he is ok with open relationships 'cause I definitely romanced the two bothers
I don't understand photo of the day... these shots usually look heavily edited, like someone touched them up in photoshop. The other day I saw a shot that looked painted with strokes... far as I can tell that's impossible with photo mode tools. So what the heck?
Both of them?! But they're such N E R D S. Did Coward-bro or PTSD-bro get sloppy seconds? XD
I'm loving these add-on missions, though. And there seem to be a bunch more on the way as the trophy list still has a bunch of blank trophies.
If I sync with all the viewpoints and no gold exclamation marks appear on the map, does that mean there's no side-quests in a particular region, that I haven't found them yet?
Think I'm gonna skip all the outposts and animal dens and focus on the actual quests, because that's where the great material is

Just finished the main game after a couple weeks of plugging away at it. I'm gonna miss playing as Kassandra.
I wish they would've just made her the main character for the modern stuff moving forward. Oh well.
I just "unlocked" the cultist stuff in the main story - holy shit! This game just keeps getting better and better! I love it!
so seems there's an Alpha Bear in one of the Chios island caves that is...immortal if you tame him? It's hilarious lmao. He has taken an entire Artemis village by himself with instant health regen on every hit rofl
I'm maybe 2 hours ahead of you in terms of the game. I also can't believe it. Like every new mission I do it unlocks a new branch of something. And then there is the DLC......
And then I zoom out on the map and get overwhelmed. It's going to be a long time with this one.
I keep waiting for the season pass to get discounted. Already beat the main campaign and took a break but itching to get back to it.
It might be the mission where you have to get 3 specific polemarchs, not any 3 polemarchs. I'd recommend checking that out again.
Some missions you have to get physically near them to trigger, I know I didn't even trigger the Hippocrates questline until I was looking for it for the platinum after I did all the endings.
Thanks! I'll be sure to hit to the question marks as well
Finally finished the 3 main stories and got the best ending after 92 hours.
Wow, that took a while.
I think I'm going to leave the game alone till the DLC have all been released.

I'm still so in love with this game. I hope they bring a season 2 or something at the end of the year.
It's been awhile since I've checked a game every week for new content.
But this game has done it.

The second DLC is likely to be bigger and meatier than the first.
Nope, both headshots and assassinations can crit, and, confusingly, critical assassinations aren't affected by critical damage modifiers.
Yeah i've been reading online a bit and it's really damn confusing. Quite annoyed to be completely honest. Apparently headshots are suddenly their own thing, and most crit mods like "% when full health" don't even apply. I spent a bunch of time and resources last night on an archer build that I couldn't understand why it was so fucking bad... only to realize it was a complete waste of my night (and days of hoarding hunter gear) and they apparently strealth nerfed archers and now crit stats don't make any fucking sense unless you get a PhD in Odyssey wiki. I probably could've fully upgraded my ship with the money and resources I spent upgrading and engraving all my old hunter gear to get it up to level.
Quite annoyed. Huge waste.
Got the platinum trophy, which wasn't too hard because I had already gotten a lot of the trophies by just naturally playing the game. So when the time came to get the remaining trophies it wasn't too bad.
I've been spending a lot of time with Odyssey and there's a few other games I want to play right now so I'll probably take a break to focus on other things. I'll probably come back when the third episode of the DLC releases to start the DLC. Overall, I really enjoyed my time with Odyssey and I'm excited to see what Ubisoft will do next for the series.
