Endgame Content

Congratulations, Misthios! You've navigated the treacherous waters of the Peloponnesian War, confronted your past, and shaped the destiny of Greece. But the journey doesn't end with the main storyline. Assassin's Creed Odyssey offers a wealth of endgame content designed to challenge your skills, deepen your lore knowledge, and reward you with legendary gear. This guide will walk you through the most rewarding activities to undertake once the credits roll.

Mastering the Cult of Kosmos

Even after dealing with the Ghost of Kosmos, remnants of the Cult persist, and new branches may emerge. Your primary objective in the endgame should be to systematically dismantle every last member of this insidious organization. This isn't just about justice; it's about powerful rewards.

  • Hunting Down Cultists: Many Cultists are revealed through story progression, but others require careful investigation. Look for clues on defeated Cultists, complete side quests that hint at their identities, and explore every corner of the map. Each revealed Cultist will have a specific location or a quest tied to their demise.
  • Legendary Gear Sets: Eliminating entire branches of the Cult of Kosmos will reward you with pieces of powerful legendary armor sets. For example, defeating the Delian League branch grants you pieces of the Agamemnon Set, excellent for fire-based builds. The Peloponnesian League branch yields the Immortal Set, offering a chance to cheat death. Prioritize completing these sets to unlock their unique engravings.
  • The True Ending: While you may have seen a main story ending, fully eradicating the Cult of Kosmos is crucial for achieving one of the game's more complete narrative conclusions, particularly regarding the Isu storyline.

The Daughters of Artemis: A Legendary Hunt

For those seeking a true test of their combat prowess, the Daughters of Artemis offer a series of challenging legendary animal hunts. These aren't your average boars; they are formidable beasts with unique attack patterns and high health pools.

  1. Initiating the Quest: Travel to the Sacred Lands of Artemis in Phokis. Speak with Daphnae, the leader of the Daughters of Artemis, to begin the questline "Daughters of Artemis."
  2. The Kallisto Bear: Your first legendary hunt will be the Kallisto Bear, found in the northern part of Phokis. This beast is accompanied by regular bears, making it a chaotic fight. Focus on isolating the Kallisto Bear and using abilities like "Hero Strike" and "Overpower Attacks."
  3. Subsequent Hunts: Daphnae will send you on a total of eight legendary animal hunts across Greece. Each animal presents a unique challenge:
    • The Erymanthian Boar (Elis): Known for its toxic gas attacks. Stay mobile and use ranged attacks.
    • The Krokottas Hyena (Arkadia): A swift and aggressive foe. Parry and dodge are essential.
    • The Nemean Lion (Argolis): A powerful and resilient beast. Bring high-damage abilities.
    • The Lykaon Wolf (Lakonia): A pack leader surrounded by regular wolves. Clear the smaller threats first.
    • The Kretan Bull (Messara): A charging behemoth. Use environmental hazards to your advantage.
    • The Hind of Keryneia (Euboea): A surprisingly agile and elusive deer. Ranged combat is recommended.
    • The Kalydonian Boar (Phokis): The final and arguably most frustrating hunt. This boar summons multiple smaller boars that can overwhelm you. Focus fire on the Kalydonian Boar, using area-of-effect abilities to clear the adds.
  4. Rewards: Each legendary animal grants a unique legendary weapon or armor piece upon defeat. Completing all hunts and returning to Daphnae will reward you with the Artemis's Bow and the Artemis's Outfit, a powerful Hunter-focused legendary set.

Conquest Battles: Endless Warfare

The Peloponnesian War rages on, and you can continue to influence its outcome through Conquest Battles. These large-scale engagements are an excellent source of experience, Drachmae, and epic gear.

  • Triggering Battles: To initiate a Conquest Battle, you must first weaken a region's controlling faction. This is done by completing quests for the opposing faction, destroying supplies, raiding nation chests, and killing soldiers and leaders. Once the nation power is low enough, a Conquest Battle icon will appear on the map.
  • Choosing Your Side: You can choose to fight for either Athens or Sparta. Fighting for the attacking side typically offers better rewards, but fighting for the defending side can be easier as you have more allies.
  • Strategy: In Conquest Battles, your primary objective is to defeat enemy captains and the nation leader. Focus on high-value targets, use your abilities strategically, and be mindful of your health. Don't get bogged down fighting regular soldiers unless they pose an immediate threat.
  • Benefits: Repeatedly engaging in Conquest Battles is one of the fastest ways to earn experience points and level up beyond the main story's requirements. It's also a reliable way to acquire new gear to dismantle for resources or equip.

Mercenary Tiers: Climbing the Ranks

Your reputation as a Misthios precedes you, and the mercenary system offers a continuous challenge and rewarding progression. As you defeat higher-ranked mercenaries, you'll climb the tiers, unlocking permanent perks.

  • Identifying Mercenaries: Mercenaries will actively hunt you if you have a bounty. You can also find them listed on the Mercenary tab of your menu. Their level and gear are displayed, giving you an idea of the challenge they present.
  • Defeating Higher Tiers: Focus on defeating mercenaries who are one or two tiers above you. This will allow you to climb the ranks efficiently. Each time you defeat a mercenary higher than yourself, you take their place in the hierarchy.
  • Permanent Perks: Each new tier you achieve grants a permanent perk, such as discounts at blacksmiths, increased Drachmae from contracts, or reduced bounty costs. These perks are invaluable for long-term gameplay.
  • Legendary Mercenaries: Occasionally, you'll encounter legendary mercenaries who offer unique challenges and often drop legendary gear upon defeat. Keep an eye out for these formidable foes.

The Atlantis DLC and Beyond

If you own the episodic DLC, "Legacy of the First Blade" and "The Fate of Atlantis," these offer entirely new storylines, regions, abilities, and legendary gear to acquire. These expansions are designed for higher-level players and provide many hours of additional content.

  • Legacy of the First Blade: This DLC delves into the origins of the Hidden Blade and the Assassin Brotherhood. It introduces new characters, a compelling narrative, and powerful new abilities.
  • The Fate of Atlantis: This expansive DLC takes you to mythical realms like Elysium, the Underworld, and Atlantis itself, exploring the Isu civilization in depth. It features new enemy types, legendary weapons, and a branching storyline with significant lore implications.

By engaging with these endgame activities, you'll not only continue to grow your Misthios into an unstoppable force but also uncover the deepest secrets of ancient Greece and the Isu. The journey of a true hero never truly ends!
