Follow our Assassin's Creed Odyssey guide to navigate Perikles's Symposium, including the 'Drink Up' and 'Oil and Love' quests, to uncover clues about your mother.

Alright, let's get through Perikles's Symposium in Assassin's Creed Odyssey. This section is pretty straightforward, mostly involving talking to people and making a few choices that don't have huge consequences, but we'll cover it all so you don't miss a beat.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    First up, head into the room east of the main court. You're looking for Sophokles. Chat with him; he'll give you the task of getting Euripides drunk to get him talking.
  2. 2
    After talking to Sophokles, find the kitchen assistant. You need to grab some wine for the task. You can choose any wine, but if you want to see Aristophanes make a bit of a fool of himself, grab the sweet wine. While you're in the kitchen, you can also pick up some olive oil. This will be useful for the 'Oil and Love' part later on.
  3. 3
    Once you have the wine (and optionally the oil), head back into the main court. Your goal here is to encourage Aristophanes and Euripides to have a drinking contest. Successfully doing this will net you some useful information.
  4. 4
    After the drinking contest and any singing that follows, you can return to Sophokles to wrap up this support quest.
  5. 5
    Next, we're on to 'Oil and Love'. Go to the hallway south of the court and head east. Look for a large door at the end of the hallway and interact with it. Alkibiades will open up.
  6. 6
    You'll have a dialogue with Alkibiades. This is where you'll offer him the olive oil you picked up earlier. He'll then invite you to join him and his... associates. It's a bit of a weird situation, and while you can decline, it's highly recommended you go along with it. Just a heads-up, the goat is apparently just there to watch.
  7. 7
    After the... festivities... conclude, Alkibiades will give you a hint about where to find your mother and then say his goodbyes.
  8. 8
    With Alkibiades dealt with, return to the main court and speak with Socrates. He'll lead you into a conversation with Aspasia, who will provide you with more clues about your mother's whereabouts.
  9. 9
    Finally, head to Perikles, who is upstairs via the stairs in the hallway to the south. After you've spoken with Perikles and Herodotus, head back downstairs and find Phoibe. Speaking with her will allow you to leave the symposium and complete the quest.
Tips
  • Choosing the sweet wine during the 'Drink Up' part can lead to some amusing interactions with Aristophanes.
  • While you can decline Alkibiades's invitation, it's generally a good idea to accept it as it progresses the story and provides important information.
  • Pay attention during the conversations with Aspasia and Perikles, as they contain crucial plot details regarding your mother.
