I see that the recommended level for the Atlantis DLC triggering side quest is 52. Is that a level that is reasonable to expect to be at by Family quest line's end? Or at least after finishing The Legacy of the Fitst Blade?
I know that you can use a preset level 52 character, but I'd like to use my own.

You can start the Atlantis DLC at level 28, so I wouldn't worry about your level.
Finished Episode 2 of Fate of Atlantis today.
I enjoyed it overall, but some of the combat mechanics they're introducing now are just annoying. Rifts that you need to activate to damage enemies? Lame. And good lord the final boss of this episode was irritating too. Not difficult, but come on, I'm level 98. Just let me bulldoze everything.
Some of the cultists are tied to the main story line. Some are only exposed by doing a side quest in a certain region (a good number are tied to side quests). It's not difficult to find all of them if you put in the time however.
I think if you open the world map and hold the Square button (or whatever button for your controller) you can return to Elysium and the Underworld. There should be an icon in the bottom left corner indicating this on the world map if you can't figure out which button to hold.
I wouldn't go that far. It has its own bits of monotony in the form of those side activities.
So I just finished the main story after a shit ton of hours. The world is ridiculously huge but I think I've covered nearly every inch of it now. I really enjoyed it but it did start to feel repetitive after a while and my completionist nature had me racing from one question mark to the next to wrap things up by the end. This has easily been my favorite AC though and the one I've invested the most amount of time in. The Atlantis trailer sold me on the season pass so I'm looking forward to that.
It should've been so obvious that it was Aspasia, but somehow it didn't occur to me. I mercilessly killed every cult member I came across, other than Deimos, and wasn't expecting to face any dilemma while on my way to confront her. It must have taken me at least 10 minutes to decide whether to kill her or not, but I let her live... and I'm still feeling conflicted about it. In the moment her nice little speech swayed me and letting her live seemed more interesting, but I also feel like she's a master liar and I just totally got played like everyone else she's manipulated lol. I got the impression that she's the origin of the Templars though so it seemed like she was meant to live. Alexios also may have kissed her. He was supposed to only romance the dudes but I've found that he has a mind of his own and no self-control. Ugh I feel like I betrayed Phoibe. ;_;
Origins and Odyssey's DLC are some of the best DLC ever made. So yes.
You can buy them separately but it's cheaper to get the season pass, plus you'll get III/liberation remaster.
Done with Ep 2. I know its the underworld and respect the art direction and all but damn did I miss Elysium! Also I hit level 99 before this ep came out from doing daily quests. 232 hours in, I'm looking forward to ep 3 coming so I can finally put this great game to bed.
I still ended up at over 100 hours just with the main game. I'm over 170 now.
Finished Episode 2 of the Atlantis DLC. Some thoughts.
After the fantastic first episode, couldn't help but feel this one was a letdown. First, after the gorgeous Elysium location, the dull/drab Hades (which fits thematically, I suppose) is a boring place to explore. On top of that, the world map is considerably shorter than Elysium and the central quest also much more shorter. Here's hoping the third episode is more meaty and more fun to explore like the first one.
The present timeline cliff-hanger is also much more abrupt (and worse) than the first episode. Honestly, I would have preferred slightly more spaced two episodes instead of three.

Also, just in general. AC Odyssey continues to be one of my favorite worlds to just explore in the world. I find it very aesthetically pleasing and just stroll on the horse and explore/sight see.
Really didn't need even more reason to dislike Layla Hassan, but hey, if you're offerin'...
Disappointed with the second episode as a whole. Felt like there was less to do overall, and the underworld just wasn't all that fun to traverse... Well, it IS Hades, so maybe that was kind of the point.
Beyond that... Eh... Wasn't even too crazy about the ability upgrades this time around. Hoping that the final episode doesn't disappoint.

The line of quests related Phoibe and Brasidas, of course. And that final boss fight against Hades himself—who was seriously asking for it throughout the entire thing.

Yeah, none of the upgrades in this episode were good for my build either. The first episode had quite a few good one's.
Honestly, this seems like a filler DLC more than anything. Hopefully the third episode is more like the first, not like this.
Wondering if
Poseidon is going to be the big bad for it, or if we're actually going to see Zeus.
And what location it might be in .. Mt. Olympus perhaps ?

I spent a few hours in the Underworld today and I like it so far. It definitely isn't as pretty to look at visually as Elysium was but I still dig the grim dark vibe going on in it.
The Phoebe story line was fun and I like seeing the softer side of Kassandra. Plus the goat scene with the Cyclops had me laughing my ass off.
I would guess we might actually see Atlantis proper since it's the main point of the DLC.
Bought the game in a recent sale with all DLC and spent about 10 hours in the world. The first 5 hours were a bit underwhelming imho. I played Sekiro before in which every fight is tense and thrilling. I missed that in the combat system in ACO. On the other hand it is really strong on the writing. I really like that the dialogue feels so natural and light hearted, the characters show strong emotions in their voice and the dialogue choices are simple but they feel refreshing. Especially after dealing with cryptic dialogue in Sekiro with almost no emotion. After a talk with an NPC in Sekiro I was often more clueless than before. The exploration is also great. The writing and the exploration let me push on after hour 5 and it was worth it. Now I am sucked in the world of ancient Greece and I probably won't leave for a long time.
Atlantis proper or a simulation ?
I swear this simulation aspect is so fucking stupid.
Either is fine with me. I just want to explore Atlantis. I just want to be happy.
Honestly, the DLC for this game hasn't blown me away. I think they did a much better job with the expansion packs for Origins. Those were well thought out and interesting. Also, maybe episodic isn't the best format to go with.
That .. actually makes a lot more sense than what I was thinking lol.
The whole game is a simulation haha. Hell the backstory of AC implies that OUR WORLD is a simulation.
Proper as in not these two rooms we've seen looking out over Atlantis, but actual Atlantis itself.
You'll run into all of them through the quests in the DLC pack. None of them are 'hidden'.
Speaking of that .. how the fuck do I find the Tier S4 Mercs they have added to the base game ? I found two of them just purely by coincidence .. is there no sure way to get their locations ? I have keeping offing Mercs left and right hoping the clues they drop might lead me to the top two guys, but nothing so far for hours.
Yep, reminded me of *that* side quest in Yakuza 0.
I would love this,but wondering if its feasible for them to do a completely under water zone (with running and climbing and stuff, and not just swimming).
isn't getting the highest tier bounty a good way to get them to hunt you?
I've tried that, ran into a fort with a leader inside it. Shanked his ass to get an instant 5 star bounty and just starting offing mercs. Did that for around an hour and offed like 20 mercs last night but never got any rank higher than what I am.
Are they in the Arena by any chance? I remember some of the lower ones were in the Arena sometimes.
Atlantis wasn't always underwater.
There's no telling what they could do with it being a simulation, I mean we went to Elysium and Hades.
I'm like 99% sure you see Atlantis in the trailer for the "Fate of Atlantis" DLC they released a few months back. You saw Elysium and the Underworld in the trailer as well....
Edit: Yeah go to 1:42. Atlantis.....not underwater.

It would be so much better, though.
There's already over 1000 quests/stories on the Odyssey Story Creator. Probably quite poor in general but surely will improve once people get their heads around the system. https://assassinscreed.ubisoft.com/story-creator-mode/en-gb/
This worked well for me but that was many updates ago. Can't hurt to try though.
