Learn how to defeat your sibling and win the Battle of Pylos in Assassin's Creed Odyssey. Get tips on combat, evasion, and making the right choices.

Brasidas needs your help to turn the tide of war at the Battle of Pylos! He's also let you know your sibling is there, causing chaos. It's time to confront them, try to save them from the Cult of Kosmos, and make sure Sparta wins.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    First things first, fast travel to your ship and sail towards the Bay of Hades. You'll see a red glow and flames as you get closer – a sure sign of trouble. Head to the beach encampment and find the Spartan officer to get the lowdown.
  2. 2
    This starts out like any other conquest battle. Your job is to take down a bunch of Athenian captains to weaken their forces. Keep at it until the usual mercenary shows up… except this time, it's your sibling! They're way tougher than any mercenary and have some seriously nasty special attacks.
  3. 3
    When your sibling comes at you, dodging is your best friend. Seriously, blocks won't cut it here. Focus on evading their attacks and then look for openings to counter. You can use your special melee skills during a counter, but honestly, sticking to deadly arrows from a distance is a safer bet.
  4. 4
    Watch out when your sibling starts lighting up the ground with fire. Don't stand in it – wait for it to explode before moving. You can still fire arrows while you're waiting for the flames to die down.
  5. 5
    Keep up the pressure, using the advice above to chip away at your sibling's health until you defeat them. A cutscene will play, and then you'll have a big decision to make: vengeance or compassion? Choosing compassion is the way to go for the best family outcome.
  6. 6
    No matter what you choose, the next part is the same: you'll get knocked out by a falling tree and wake up in a prison cell. That's the end of this quest!
Tips
  • Dodging is crucial against your sibling; blocks are ineffective.
  • Ranged attacks are safer than close-quarters combat when countering your sibling.
  • Avoid the fire patches your sibling creates on the ground.
  • Choosing compassion over vengeance leads to a better family outcome.
