15 Things Assassin’s Creed Odyssey Doesn’t Tell You

Here's a sentence you never thought you'd read or here ten year's ago- Assassin's Creed is a RPG. A full-fledged, full blown RPG. And you know what? It's really, really good. Being a massive RPG set in an open world environment, though, means that more than any of its predecessors, Odyssey is absolutely brimming with content, and with lots of different systems, mechanics, and features.
And though most of the larger features, the ones that are front and centre, are easy to grasp, the game doesn't always tell you about some of the smaller ones, which can actually come in very handy and prove to be very useful at times. In this feature, we're going to take a look at fifteen tips and tricks in Assassin's Creed Odyssey that you should keep in mind as you start playing the game.

I will never understand why people dislike this game, while I may understand that this is the farthest we have ever been from an actual AC game, I can't understand people call this a bad rpg and overall just a terrible game. This game is so beautiful, so intruiging and so fun, the adventure never stops, the combat is always fun and unique, every location is so well built. I don't think I will ever see a reason to why you could possibly hate this game

[@TurdF3rguson]

I think it just depends on how much it hooks you in from the start. I think the critiques of its "bloat" are fair, but I'm addicted to the gameplay loop and have really enjoy running around exploring, clearing out areas, etc., so I don't mind. The voice acting and story telling is really good, too, along with straight up hilarious bits. I just did a side quest where I delivered a casting of someone's dong to someone else lol. Where else but in AC Odyssey?

I totally agree. As a person who’s been to Greece, they recreated the structures very accurately

i do love the game The rpgs literally show before the assassins were a thing lol origins was about the start of the brotherhood while meanwhile odyssey was literally about the start of the templars don’t forget the kassandra hate either i mean kassandra is literally one of if not the only reasons the assassins are a god damn thing the second being aya and bayek but that wouldn’t of happened if not for kassandra

In other words, just play the game as it directs you. Here are a few ACTUAL things that Assassin's Creed Odyssey doesn't tell you: 1. You don't need to board ships to get the full loot. Ramming them is faster and you get the same (maybe even more?) rewards. 2. If you're on fire, just do a dodge-roll to put it out. 3. Explore shipwrecks for new crews & ship skins.

[@Ennio444]

The story is a bit dull, though. When I gathered in Athens with a bunch of playrights and philosophers (and one Father of History), people with generally no political or military powers whatsoever, to conspire against an ELECTED official (Cultist or not), essentially undermining democratic values... Alcibiades was the only one who was worth anything, if you want to hatch a coup d'état. Throwing a high-brow party, sure, Aristophanes and Hippocrates and Socrates are good guests, but come on, there's such a wealth of characters in 5th century Athens to plot against Cleon... There's Cleinias, the crazy brother of Alcibiades, there's Xanthippos, Pericles' son; there's Hipponikos, one of the wealthiest and most aristocratic Athenians, belonging to the most noble house of the Alcmeonids (who were definitely unhappy with the way Ephialtes and later his protégé Pericles had reduced the power of the aristocratic Areopagus, so firmly against democracy). All of them old blue bloods, since, let's not forget, a coup against Cleon is a coup against democracy. Cleon gets a bad rep in Thucydides' histories because his attempts to bring the war to Sparta ended up with his death, even if he did win the only battle a Greek army would win against Spartans in a century (the battle of Sphacteria, in the game as the Battle of Pylos). Anyway, the game's fun but they merely scrached the surface of what they could have accomplished. The plot "war's bad and it's being stoked by powers-that-be in the shadows" undermines the actual merits, blames and gravitas of the states and characters involved.

I just started playing the game, I happened to stumble upon figuring out you can whistle at a merc until it triggers him and he attacks you so you have no penalty for killing him publicly. Also, penelopes shroud (which you get very early game) will match to the color of any armor that has cloth over the top of it like mercenary armor.

Keep Legendary/Purple gear because you can upgrade it. The Faction War is irrelevant, just a means to get EXP/Items. Recruit Captains/Elites because they tend to have good ship skills. Pay attention to the map because new sidequests will appear.

So I know this is old but I just got this game cause it’s on sale, the thing I just found out is if you deplete an enemies health bar with spartan kick it knocks them out allowing you to recruit them without having to run down their health, hide, and then knock them out if you can’t do it outright, also you can recruit mercenaries which seem to be some of the best recruits

Can also get ikaros to attack them and deplete health. Hovering over them also tells you the quality of the npc and what they bring to the table.

[@dakotalangdon1923]

Little tip here. When a higher ranked bounty hunter or base captain is giving you trouble lure them on top of a tall building, edge or near a cliff and spartan kick them off. Insta kills them when they hit the ground. But be weary because the heavies dont get pushed back from it too much. However they are slow and easy to dodge

[@geoffrogers7590]

Doesn't worj on certain bounty hunters even if they aren't heavies because they can have a trait where they don't stagger from your attacks so spartan kick will never knock them off a ledge. Though it is still good advice because it will work most of the time.

[@somnorila9913]

Noticed that too. I thought is a bug or patched or something. Someone on the ubi forum said that it depends on armor and level as he too didn't see the kick work on everyone. My experience is that if the enemy has its level red then the kick will not work, thing is i had issues with +1 level enemy also. But if you are able to doge and do a combo facing the free fall direction, when the combo finisher hits them, they will still be thrown and fall to their death.

[@connorgasbarro]

Hell Yeah. I had max bounty after I killed a leader. Got their attention, climbed a cliff and kicked most of them off 😂

[@Frogthroat1]

If you concentrate more on the stealth type of gameplay (I have pretty much all equipment perks and ability points put to stealth), using the Rush Assassination ability is pretty useful. Especially if there are two strong enemies and you have maxed out your Rush Assassination so you can chain it. Adrenaline buildups are good perks for stealth build as well. Rush Assassinate, run away, hide and go behind the enemy, Rush Assassinate again, run away... You might want to deliver a few hits here and there to get more adrenaline. And if there are two of them, Rush Assassinate first, chain to the second, chain back to first, chain back to second, run away, hide, flank, repeat.

Here are some of my tips - if you’re not very good at naval combat you can leave the helm of the ship and block the enemy ships path and most of the time, in my experience, it stops the ship allowing you to swim to it and use normal combat - Spartan kick isn’t the best ability in the combat area but if you have points to spare you should get it as it is useful to stop unstoppable attacks - rolling around stops fire on your character -if a lynx jumps on your back roll around to get it off -upgrade the second wind (healing if I got the name wrong) as soon as possible so you can gain half your health back and gets rid of debuffs And now a tip for post game -finally, if you unlock Deimos as a lieutenant, use the call of arms ability to summon him/her into combat as they use the same moves from the boss battle in the end of chapter 8

Assassin creed. The early games in the franchise explore the subject of assassins forming a creed to fight the templar in a struggle over the claim of mystical objects made by a fallen advanced civilisation of higher beings that created humans. For a very long time players and developers are focusing on exploring and expanding on this story aspect in the franchise with even the name of the franchise even being name after the assain creed itself. Until later on the story shifted away from the fight between the assain creed and templar to what they are actually fighting over and what these things, power and truth are capable of. This has now been what assain creed have evolve into. If you follow the lore in assassin creed it basically tell everything that happened after the fall of ISU and modern primates aka humans using machines and genetic memories in their dna to relive the past memories in order to look into the entire span of the traverse and passed timeline. Everything from the restarting of civilisations and empires to lives and dramas of the people living in its historical periods and settings etc. The games is trying to tell you what people are fighting or protecting over, what is the original version of the human faiths, how countries are form and how mythology monsters came about etc. Assassin creed has become an attempt and an encapsulation of everything that have ever happened from the BC all the way to the AD era up to this very present moment. Everything you know, do, and live is all part of the assassin creed universe. Trying to help people understand what is going on nowadays when they start to see their assassin games changing with each new game ubisoft releases out.

shield brake skill should be unlocked as soon as possible because you have a better chance at beating stronger enemies, as well as to deal damage to non-shield ones. Strangely, it is one of the most underestimated abilities in the game

[@mchristou62]

FYI Don’t kill the Merc’s you can recruit them to go on your ship. Just knock them out with the spartan kick and they will usually be legendary allies.

[@lestervai]

[@janmikaeleguia6062]

Fun fact: athens only use shield not spartans So when goin against spartan (on conquest battles) replace shield breaker

[@_realnoob2050]

not really, the spartan captains use shields.

[@pbentsonable]

Just got this game a few days ago and am really enjoying it. Learning new stuff every time I play.

[@adityairin4629]

The biggest secret of them all, upgrade weapon and armor with critical chance and critical chance while full health. in the end game, it will allow you to one shot almost every enemy, in combat or in stealth, including powerful mercenaries.

[@Zsokorad]

"Things they don't tell you... Use your abilities. Use your brain when equiping gear. Complete map objectives." Gee, thanks.

[@minatothefourthhokage1852]

I recommend getting poseidons trident and then engraving the legendary engravement "Breathe Underwater". It helps alot

[@klaas6681]

Still one of the most beautiful and atmospheric games out there. Sure, the open world is too big, activities get repetitive, the conquest battles add very little, inventory/item management is a chore... But the rest still among the best of the genre.

[@know1588]

The spartan kick is most useful when mercenaries are after you in a ship. 1: in a ship it lowers the mercenarie's level by like 3. 2: you can kick them off and they will eventually drown so you dont really have to fight them.

[@jakesmith5233]

this is by far the best game in the AC Saga.

[@sadisticlee1312]

I wouldn’t call it an AC game. More like... Malakas Creed

[@rebokgang]

Faction wars are very helpful because one you get a lot of xp and some decent gear. Also if you are better at fighting archers you want the Athenians to be in the area because they have better archers but worse soldiers so the easier faction to fight. Also ancient tablets are mostly found in ruins almost every ruin gives you 4 ancient tablets to upgrade the ship.

[@KasumiRINA]

Spartan kick has one more useful feature: it is non-lethal. Meaning that using it as a finishing move with knock out someone instead of killing them. You can recruit and whatnot or simply not have wanted for murder on your head when a civilian attacks you in a middle of a fight with guards.

[@dylanrattana3274]

I swear on my combat behalf in this game, I have not seen one single youtuber, out of every AC Odyssey youtuber I watch, ever use the parry in combat. I just sit there face palming myself and cringing when they doge instead of parrying. Not to mention how many times they get hit. USE THE PARRY PEOPLE!

[@xXpatt0nXx]

"You're gender doesn't change much'' had me confused for a second. I took it literally like your gender does actually change throughout the game.. just not much.

[@elzhann.6760]

You are true mercenary)))

[@Strider_Shinryu]

Eh, the tip about the Ancient Tablets (#3) is wrong. Yes, the Tablets are very important and you should go out of your way to track them down, but they're almost never found at enemy forts or camps. They are almost exclusively found at Ruins (the icon looks like a red tower with a chunk missing) and you can see which ones have them by checking the location details once you get close enough to the Ruin and looking at the pop up (or holding L3 for a second). Each tablet pickup you find at a Ruin gives you 4 tablets to use for ship upgrading.

[@MadDark98]

the battles are very good for getting epic gear. If u side with the attacker or invader you get 2 epic gear and can a few thousand drachmae as well as you can loot like 30 bodies after for another few thousand. Also some cultists show up in these wars and completing challenges is really easy in these wars as you can kill like 35 guys in a few minutes. Adds better engravings as well.

[@lockydouglas3018]

More like ‘here’s 15 abilities we used whilst playing the game’

[@PixiiBomb]

I didn't use the Spartan Kick or CC abilities, and I just completed the game. I would say you SHOULD get these Melee skills if you enjoy melee style combat. Otherwise, you obviously won't be meleeing much, since you clearly don't enjoy it - and therefore don't need to invest in those skills. I never got the Shield Break skill. I just patiently timed head shots through the little hole in the shield. Or waited for them to use their super ability, which usually left the vulnerable to a body strike. You can also shoot their feet. I do agree with getting the Healing Ability from the Melee tree. That's a must have. Just get the abilities that fit your play style, and you'll be fine. I finished the game at Level 55, and just put points into the abilities I used the most. Useful Archer Skills: - Devastating Shot: You can usually kill grunts with a headshot, but Captains+ will require a little more omph. This will take them out easily, and it's funny watching their bodies fly 20 feet. - Rain of Destruction: This is great for Conquest Battles and taking out Leaders that are surrounded by troops. Shields will protect your enemies, but not when arrows rain down on their head! - Spread Shot: This is worth getting for large animal groups. As mentioned above, the shield will protect from these types of attacks. Use Rain of Destruction for groups with lots of shields. Use Spread Shot for groups with no shields. Useful Assassin Skills: - Critical Assassination: Necessary to assassinate Captains+. - Shadow Assassin: Necessary to increase damage and convenient auto-loot. - Revelation: Use Ikaros to scout areas/Forts, but this is also helpful for finding smaller treasures that you might have missed. It also lights up corridors, which is helpful in tombs and caves.

[@mr_boats]

An actual trick in Odyssey where you could beat any mercenary (even if their levels are high): -Get his/her attention -Quickly climb a Temple of some god/goddess. -shoot at them with arrows. For some reason they don't climb the Shrines or Temples. I guess for not disrespecting the god.

[@Lightfire398]

Or find a nice open road and just ride in circles shooting them with arrows. Particularly effective if you've got the engraving for poison or fire arrows. I killed the top mercenary like that despite him having a skull icon over his head.

[@Ro-Ghost]

I love how this game doesn't care how you play I love just walking into a fort decimating everyone with whatever weapons I choose, been trying daggers recently as I found a helm with dmg with dagger and sword+ warrior damage+ damage with dagger+ I also put warrior damage on it In total its a +66% damage, I got this at a low level so the perks are only teir 6 unfortunately if anyone knows how to increase the teir of the built in perks plz let me know

Robert Eden I missed the shield at first also. But now that I’m better at parrying and dodging it makes the combat faster more fluid and I like it more now without the shield. But that’s just my opinion I’m sure a lot of people will wish you could have the shield back lol

Its ironic how he mentioned obvious features are easy to grasp but smaller ones dont get promoted and then he proceeded to miss to mention the most useful aspect about the spartan kick - You can literally initiate the fight against any level enemy, regardless how much stronger than you, disengage, lure them to highground and simply kick them off. I initiated fight against multiple mercenaries multiple times, lured them to a slope or something like that and kicked them off it

[@davidbiemond2478]

this is true in early game but in the endgame things like ring of chaos or hero strike are the major skills and if you buy dlcs its completely different

[@jkbell87]

I don't get why everyone keeps saying this. Assassin's Creed has always been an action RPG. You've always had to level up, collect stronger gear, unlock abilities, grind for experience, (semi) open world map with fast travel. This is taking it further but it's still the same over all set up. Kill down a long line of baddies to find the one who wronged your family.

[@sagitswag1785]

You never had to level up or farm for gear until origins. Have you even played the games bro?

[@BlackAlbino2000]

As a longtime AC fan, (been playing since AC 2’s release). This is the first game I decided not to pick up at release date because I thought it was basically Origins with just a new setting. I was also so hyped for RDR 2 that I didn’t really care about yet another AC. But after some months after release I heard so many good things about the game, that I just got it after all. And I was massively surprised, Ubisoft actually listened to their angry AC fans and made it even better than Origins.
