White Lies and Blackmail

Follow our step-by-step guide for the 'White Lies and Blackmail' quest in Assassin's Creed Odyssey, including enemy tactics and objective locations.

Alright, so you've just finished up 'To Kill or Not to Kill' and decided to go with Brasidas's plan? Smart move. This next quest, 'White Lies and Blackmail,' kicks off right away. Your first stop is the Archon's house to link up with Brasidas and see what he's dug up.

Once you're there and have had a quick chat, keep an eye out because a civilian and a cultist are going to show up. Eavesdrop on their conversation – it's important for figuring out what's going on with that letter they mention. After you've got the intel, you'll need to follow them north. Your destination is a spot called The Scorched Tree. This is where they're planning to make a drop.

As you get close to The Scorched Tree, you'll run into a couple of cultist guards. They're pretty standard enemies, nothing too tough, so take them down without much trouble. Your main goal here is to free the prisoner they're guarding. Once that's done, have a word with the prisoner. But don't get too comfortable, because as soon as you finish talking, three more cultist guards will ambush you. Again, these guys aren't a major threat. If you've got any Area of Effect (AoE) special attacks, now's the perfect time to unleash them – they'll make short work of this group.

With all the cultists dealt with, your next move is to head east to their hideout. The quest wraps up once you reach the entrance of this hideout. Easy peasy!
