Funnily enough you could do that as soon as you arrive, or from when you got the first upgrade for the Staff of Hermes Trismegistus.Cool, thanks!
Haven't finished the first part yet - close, but not quite, but since I heard it ends abruptly, I'm waiting for the 2nd part to drop before finishing the first.
Though I'm not a fan of the missions where you have to go around and find people to liberate and stuff, it's mostly all I have left to do - it's kind of a pain getting around in the new area.
They put plenty of ziplines around too, but man it was annoying when the quickest way to an objective was just to climb up a rockface.Yeah that DLC area is as beautiful as it is a pain in the ass to navigate in. They probably knew it since they added those elevators, but that was nowhere near enough not to make some quests obnoxious to do.
Yeah, there's a whole new region to explore, but it's not on the world map. It's an area you have to teleport to.How is the Atlantis DLC? Is it worth picking up? Are there genuinely new architectural styles and cities to explore (like in the Curse of the Pharaohs DLC) or no? I really enjoyed the base game though it did start to get a little repetitive towards the end.

In my veins....Torment of Hades DLC release times and download requirements.

I played this for 15 hrs when it first came out and then drifted off for some reason, maybe the military shenanigans at the beginning.
I decided to pick it up again last night and I've already put another 7 hrs in. It's a remarkable achievement in an open world game. The sheer scope and detail of everything is truly amazing. Absolutely beautiful on the 1X/4K. And it's fun. Great game.
I'm not a completionist, and i see that there are 3 different main quest lines. For me, the Family One is what I'm concentrating on, and I may only finish that. Is that considered the "main" main quest?
Fantastic game.
Man this game is immense. I still have story stuff to do in Athens, and I've already hit 32 hours. Game is great, though. I'm actually really liking the mercenary system. They've caused some super chaotic battles when they've shown up at random lol
Is there a preferred order to completing the three main questlines? A friend has told me family quest first, then Atlantis, then the cult.
I got burnt out on this game when I first started; just open world fatigue after plowing through RDR2, Spider-Man and God of War in a relatively short time frame. Well my Internet was down last night so I figured, OK, let's hop back into ancient Greece and have some jolly sea-faring adventures. Turns out AC Odyssey doesn't work in offline mode on uPlay (or at least it wouldn't for me). Is there some way to allow that so if I lose internet again, I can actually play the products I've legally purchased? I ended up playing Firewatch instead (because Steam is perfectly content to let you play games offline), and it's quite charming.
I did that and was running Uplay in offline mode at the time. Wouldn't let me open Odyssey without connecting to online functions. Is there a way to disable that within AC Odyssey, or is it just a "you can't play this offline, sorry" sort of deal. Cause that's kind of a bummer (I'm usually connected to the Internet, but it's Comcast, so outages happen from time to time).I believe Uplay has an offline mode which you can set to default when it starts if you want. Not sure if it plays nice with Steam's offline mode etc. though.
The family story line is the "main" quest. I think the endings of the other two story quest chains are better, as well as offer some of the best content in the game. It doesn't take much work to finish the other two story lines if you finish the main one first. I highly recommend beating all three if you aren't burnt out.

Is the Hades DLC out yet? I keep looking at the PSN Store and nothing... :(
Seriously? I have rarely seen a video so spoilerish... I recommend not to watch it.
All right.
Seeing Phoïbé again is really a pinch in the heart. I also saw that Brasidas is there, which is really a good thing.
Curious to see what the area will be for episode 3
They each have a lot of content if that's what you're interested in. As well as their own maps, each made up of three small regions. So far Episode 2 seems very similar to the last episode in terms of content. Only it takes place in Hades instead of the more heavenly atmosphere of Elysium from Ep.1.Looking forward to impressions on this
Haven't had the chance to play even episode 1 yet. Was hoping by the time all three are out I could jump in and it'd feel like a full-blown sequel. Guess that depends on how lengthy it ends up being.
I mean, they didn't make a secret of where this would pick up. I'm just tired of bosses having so much damn HP now.I'm not super down with where the new DLC starts. Feels like something that should have ended the previous dlc and not a challenge to face when you jump back in after a month off.
i was under the impression the underworld would look way cooler than this. thought it'd be a riff on elysium's ancient sci fi motif but this is more brown than OG asscreed 3
what a buzzkill tbh. but i only put in an hour or two , i'll see where it goes.
I don't think it's you. It does seem to be a bit quicker. Finally.I don't know if its just my mind playing tricks on me, but after the last patch (and DLC2 download) it feels like the initial load etc is a bit faster than it was before.

Playing through the base game and loving it.
Quick question: if I kill all of the cultists that are exposed (Medusa symbol on map), will I automatically work towards the end of that storyline? Do some of the inner circle require additional detective work, or will all of them get eventually exposed on the map while playing through Family mainline plot?
Some you will encounter as part of the story, for some you will get a clue or two as part of your quests but for the rest of the clues you will need to do extra detective work based on the clues.
Some, you'll just run into the world without even realizing that. For example, I was in a city and just running around. Suddenly noticed one NPC got the "Hold X to critical assisinate" message pop up when I ran past it. It caught my eye because the game doesn't do that for every NPC, only for potential hostiles (soldiers, hunters, mercs etc) so I quick saved and assassinated that person .. turned out it was one of the cultist ... I just killed a cultist with zero clues and 100% luck.
I think almost everything about episode 2 is a downgrade from episode 1. The main "quest" is just more mercenaries with a handful of side quests that aren't super interesting outside maybe 1 or 2 bits and the story is wrapped up so quick that it just doesn't seem all that interesting. The zone is ugly as it gets when compared to Elysium which is a shame.
I'm a little letdown that we have to wait another 6 weeks for the final episode since this one was such a disappointment for me.
