Tip that most people don't know: after you sink a ship that you didn't board, switch to Ikaris eagle and locate 2 chests that fell to the ocean floor. ;) But beware, without the Trident of Poseidon, you may drown cuz the ocean is too deep most places.

You can engrave one of your weapons with a breathing underwater perk, it will allow you to stay underwater forever.

I couldn’t figure out where they were coming from. I kept sailing too far from them while trying to turn around and they would disappear and I’d be all like “MALAKA!”

Actually I found the trident at level 29 but the required level was 41 until I figured out I could just engrave the dagger of Kronos with the same engraving

You don't need to wait for sinking ship to reach sea floor. Just jump into water and once it sinks and you will see chest slowly sinking, and you loot it. Way faster to do it

astroxbabe I play with a warrior playstyle, so what I find helps is getting weapons that deal either fire damage or poison damage so that even when you don’t attack it will damage them. I personally use Arachne’s Stinger (poison dagger) and Fanged Bow (poison bow) so it works well for me. Also, it helps if you don’t fixate on the Minotaur to attack it. Also make sure you’re around Level 40 to defeat it.

50 hours lvl 50 My Tips 1. Only upgrade your weapon and maybe 1 piece of your best gear. Materials get expensive. Level 50 is when you want to upgrade all your gear. 2. Offensive Warrior skills are only good for early game. Endgame Melee is very underpowered compaired to assassin and hunter. 2nd Wind, Armor Perk, and Battlecry of Ares are the only skills you need from warrior. 2 points in shield bash if youre having trouble with shields. 3. Spam the Arena is you need gear, exp, and gold. Its the fastest way to level up. 4. Achilles gearset bonus (2% damage leech) is broken for Hunters. Its a free 2nd wind 5. Around lvl 20ish you want to abuse the mecenary system. Get you bounty up until you find the mercenary "The Marksman." Kill that person and you get Achilles bow which gives you 20% damage to Devastating Shot. I still use that bow. Bonus Tip: Fire is a noob trap...Poison is better for endgame and higher difficulities becuase it debuffs the tougher enemies armor and damage they inflict on you. Fire just gives you a very mediocre fire damage over time. Its not worth it.

[@davidneraas750]

So your saying poison arrows are more effective than fire arrows.?

[@5ean5ean22]

@@davidneraas750 Depends...... If you can kill something before the status effect starts then fire arrows are better becuase they do more upfront damage. If you have an enenmy tough enough for the status effect dot to start (Bosses, high level Mercs, etc) then poison arrows are better. Inxoxication indirectly buffs your main damage source like Devastating shot. I just scale poison arrows all the time becuaze it doesnt start fires in bushes while Im in stealth and I can 1 shot 90% of the game without fire anyway. I want to deal with he 10% that requires more.

Maybe in a DLC we can get a devastating shot type skill for the warrior skill tree then we can revisit my opinion.

[@blazbohinc4964]

An actual advice from a level 70 player: 1. don't upgrade armour and weapons too often, wait at least 5 levels between upgrade sessions. 2. Invest your skill points only in abilities you're actually going to use. Most of the skills are useless and way to niche for broad combat. Good abilities to use: Hunter: Rain of destruction enhanced version (good for prep to chain with assassin abilities, massive burst damage), rapid fire (early game, very good if you have headshot bonuses and good aim), Devastating shot (pretty much the best hunter ability, don't enhance it though), Overpower bow strike (good mid/late game, when you have abilities that discount the adrenaline cost) Warrior: Bull rush (only enhanced, good to make space when multiple enemies storm you), weapons and gear master (max this out), OP attack (good when discounted), Battlecry of Ares (good late game, enhanced and combined with ISU armor that doubles activation time.. you're pretty much immortal and with a smart build, you can do over a million damage in just few strikes), Shield braker (good throughout the game, even if you don't really need it late game), Flaming attacks and fire mastery (max this out, and use all the time. apply bonuses to weapons as well - very useful bonus damage) Assassin: Shadow assassin (max this out), Rush Assassination (it's a play-style, I never used it - but it can be useful) Critical assassination (max it, use it), Stealth master (max it), Hero strike (max it, use it - all the time) There are other passive abilities that are a no brainer, but these are what I use.. there's also one that deals "multiple hits" but gives you adrenaline back.. like 3 or 4 bars. That is essential and a top priority. If you run Assassin oriented build like me, you can never be dry on adrenalin. All other power abilities that I didn't mention are garbage or niche. There are some really good enhanced abilities which I also didn't mention cause I don't remember.. But yeah - pretty much strive for combos, full adrenaline, chain your attacks and abilities so you're immortal most of the time.. You can mow through the whole fort on hard mode with a decent build. It's crazy how some critical hits cards and shit let you deal upwards of 5 million damage in what seems like seconds. Have fun playing

When you advance enough in the game some of the best things to get are the underwater breathing engraving added to an equipped weapon and the maxed Shadow of Nix ability + the Pilgrim Set. Shadow of Nix makes you invisible at the cost of stamina, but the full Pilgrim Set will prevent this ability from consuming any stamina, so you can basically crawl around camps without anyone seeing you for as long as you like.

[@bickern4301]

I have 170+ hours and my new character is lv 75. Here are my Assassins tips 1. Hero strike is the best thing ever 2.Poison is worth, lowers defense and attack 3. For cultists, show up assassinate, use vanish, then leave 4. crit assassination is worth 5.Second wind is always good 6. Building the armor skill is good 7.If you have FOA get Madness of Ares, I deal about 800k damage per hit, not to mention crits 8.I have +20% damage on all my gear and I got the money from grinding bounties, 10k a piece

That bounty level tip is great, at first it seems counter intuitive but as you explained it you're right, that makes a lot of sense. Also when a bounty hunter shows up to your stealth party that's when this game really shines.

[@isaiahchong9339]

Bounty hunters r great for being recruited. i love level 2 or 3 bounties. level 4 or 5 just bring the OP bounty hunters which is annoying

[@Truguru]

What I love to do with bounty hunters is when I'm alerted 📢 to their presence I hide immediately. Get Ikaros to tag them so I can see the path their walking. Then use him to harass the bounty hunter. Not only does he distract him which allows you to sneak up behind but he also deals really good damage. The higher your assassination damage the harder he hits! After about 4 hits from the bird I go for a critical assassination. If that doesn't kill him then I follow up with a hero strike to finish him off. With a good assassination set and weapons you should be able to OHKO buy the hero strike is a good buffer just incase he still lives. Sometimes though you'll be fighting bounty hunters that are above your level so they won't go down so easily, that's when you can step back after a knock down and change your gear to either hunter or warrior, depending on your play style (and available gear). Finish them off with hunter or warrior abilities for a much easier kill after you softened them up with critical assassination and hero strike!

[@NeOmega83]

Pro Tip: Don't bother upgrading or engraving any gear until you hut lvl 50 and are ready to min-max your playstyle. Until this point just wear whatever has higher stats, you will outlevel it in no time. Upgrading is so ridiculously expensive it's not worth it.

[@bubsenseijebe2993]

agreed I need to upgrade my gear so lines up with my playstyle. I dont mind upgrading my gear like every 7 levels. I end up having enough mats. THe only gear I really change are my weapons

[@NeOmega83]

Actually I agree with you. I write it at lvl 30 myself. Although it was somehow true up until this point, now however at lvl 41 I noticed I've upgraded and mass engraved my fav gear that really complements my combat hunter/assassin playstyle. 😅

[@picklev5064]

Here’s a FYI, the legendary sets the cultist give you, will relevel to your lv when you get the whole set. ( they won’t deliver though so if your not lv 45 but get the full set for one that requires you to be lv 45, that pc isn’t going to downgrade).

[@viliheikkinen7420]

Engraves are cheap, upgrades expensive. So engrave to your heart's content. However, I do agree with NeOmega's idea of conservative upgrading. It's often not worth it to upgrade, and almost never worth it to go all in. Just a few underleveled key epics / legendaries with a buff you need for playstyle might be justifiable.

[@stephenbiggs3623]

I mostly agree. The majority of my gear I replace with whatever item I find for my current level. And since I am swapping out items so frequently the engravings arn't worth the materials they use. But occasionaly I find an item that's enough above average it's worth upgrading. So at high level most of my gear should be a complete set of such items.

[@Scirollo]

@@NickyvonHungary Also boarding gives you the advantage of return to battle when the enemy ship is in a vulnerable spot to be rammed, now that I have fully upgraded ship it's a bit different, but the boarding method helped a lot before

[@NickyvonHungary]

Scott Ryan It did,yes. I didn't upgrade my ship at first because I hated sea battles, but after a few trips, I upgraded my ship to legendary. After finishing the storyline, I got all my family members as lieutenants and they are legendary as well so I'm good now😅

[@sneakybawls]

One thing about ranged attack is you can stay in stealth when hidden in bushes or tall grass. Using your bow doesn't break stealth. Once I realized that I hit respec and put more emphasis on the ranged tree. You can clear out quite a few enemies as they run around trying to take cover from you before they even finally come up and find you. And usually by then you've killed them with arrows before they even find you. Kinda crazy...

Personally I have two more tips: 1.- You can actually use the “AFK method” of “go to travel point”, but at the same time use the Eagle to see the map. 2.- The ability of taking off the shields of enemies is really useful. It makes you ignore damage while doing it and has a small radius of action, this means enemies that are close to you will also be affected with a little “stun” that can always come handy when charging other abilities or attacks

[@Dirkietje8]

Shield breaker in my eyes is a crucial skill next to second wind, sparta kick and the stun ring.

[@alwaysdisputin9930]

I LOVE the combat in AC Odyssey & walk into forts & obliterate everything. It's very challenging & fun. My tips after 1300 hours of play: I recommend calmness, precision + lightning reflexes & timing during combat If u see a red attack do not move. Just press space once to dodge If u see a regular attack, time it & press block or dodge With practice u can fight elusively like the great boxer Floyd Mayweather. However it's much easier if u also boost defensive ability numbers: Melee Resistance, Range Resistance & Elemental resistance etc Some red moves give only a very small amount of warning eg shoulder barge, shield rush etc - however, even these are dodgeable if ur ready with that dodge button Attacking a fort is safest (but slow) with long range hunter skills (i.e. bow) Assassination skills are also quite safe & the Rush Assassination ability can be very useful for eliminating 4 opponents quickly & sometimes for jumping up a wall Warrior skills are most dangerous & fun way IMO - when using warrior skills to attack a fort, keep moving: if u get too many archers & mercenaries it can become impossible so I try to keep moving round corners, attack a couple, kill lions & archers early, then move round a few more corners & attack a bit more etc However, with a proper "tank build" archers can't do any damage. T7 PDM has done the maths & does amazing things with different combinations of weapons & armor & ability points. He was able to inflict 330 million damage with a single attack. i recommend his videos An invulnerable tank build = 100% Melee Resistance &100% Range Resistance & 100% Elemental resistance Purple equipment is better than gold equipment because u get more engravings When u go to a blacksmith always look for equipment with these: 1) CRIT Chance 2) CRIT chance while Full Health 3) CRIT Damage 4) Melee resistance 5) Range Resistance & 6) Elemental resistance The best sword is purple & only appears (ultra rarely) in blacksmiths = +24% Weapon Damage, +30% Sword Damage & +50% CRIT Damage The best dagger is purple & only appears (ultra rarely) in blacksmiths = +24% Weapon Damage, +30% Dagger Damage & +50% CRIT Damage etc The Spartan Javelin from the Trouble in Paradise mission gives melee resistance which can help to make a tank build. It's easily lost through not realising how useful it is. Similarly the copycat sword is helpful to get 100% CRIT Chance i.e. every hit u make causes CRIT Damage I have heard if u complete the game & then play New Game+ u can complete the tombs again & get another 40 ability points For Dracmae, there are 17 weapon racks that can be quickly raided in Aipeia (in Messenia)

Some useful tips that I have that helped me through my play through (I played on nightmare difficulty and still am) 1) I dismantled all my gear and only kept items that had a specific stat that I wanted (I played assassin for most of my playthrough so I looked for the highest level item with assassin damage) and kept some warrior gear on the side ( for the occasionally fights you can't sneak away from eg conquest battles) i had plenty of money and mats by end game. 2) this one is obvious but wasn't mentioned in this video. Pick up quest from the message board. You will complete them by playing the game. Some are easier to complete such as killing 10 archers BOOM! 5000 drachmae (note example, you may earn more or less depending on your level and the quest completed) 3) while you are levelling spend your resources and money on upgrading your ship since naval battles get harder (obviously). This is a much better use of your resources and gold. 4) the sixth sense ability is also very useful since it gives you more time to react when you are spotted. Especially good if you are an assassin player because it gives you time to approach them and kill them (or damage them depending on difficulty and play style etc) 5) This one I discovered late in my play through but if you cannot fully one shot an enemy with an assassinate. Then what you can do is shoot them in the back of the head and then quickly assassinate (note I had sixth sense ability, results may vary) Final tip, might be more of an opinion but poison damage seems better then fire. I played with fire and it burned all the bushes I was hiding in and I either got discovered or died. These are my tips. Hope they help someone. Have fun y'all.

I had a lot of trouble against the legendary boar in phokis, but thanks to the bounty system, the mercs helped me kill it.

[@jduarte0381]

I jumped on the ledge in the cave and just before i reset my abilities to give me a huge advantage while i killed it with Fire arrows

[@Sodomantis]

[@SunOnYeet]

I focused on Assassin skills with engravings improving my Assassin damage and damage from behind. The chain assassination is very useful as you can one shot up to 4 enemies with only 1 stamina bar. For open combat, I had a poison build with improved, quicker poisoning and better elemental damage and aside from the big bosses, that made combat easier. I also used a bow that fired poison arrows by default, really handy coupled with the spread shot and the arrow rain skills. Also, the shield breaker can be used the same way as the sparta kick, upgrade it and it deals damage to nearby enemies and if you're high above the ground, you can deal big damage (or even one shot) to the tanks

[@spencertaylor-mrliltay]

Watching this video years later. Just getting into Odyssey now. You’re spot on with your criticism of some of the “tips” videos and content for this game. Even all these years later a lot of the videos I’ve found on the game are full of unhelpful stuff like that! 😂

[@diskael]

i am 100+hours, maxed everything got the platinum and just clearing sidequest. i never sold any armor or weapons, money is not a problem if you are doing sidequest and not focus on main story, i always dismantle cause materials is harder to get and requires more when upgrading weapons and ship. i didnt focus on one playstyle, hunter warrior or warrior assasin. i dont wear set armors, i always try to have fashion while also fitting the fashion to my build. even when i have many legendary sets. at the beginning i use warrior assassin because if my stealth fails i can still fight. right now i play hunter warrior and just enter fortress or camps from the entrance lol. just choose poison or fire, i use poison at the start, then switch to fire because its more fun when enemies are shouting when they are on fire. i only play on hard difficulty though and the only enemy that kills me more than 3 times is the giant boar that stinks poison around. the game is huge but the mechanics is small so try everything and find your style, the game wont punish you from making mistakes. also there is no endgame to prepare with, so if you know how to use the build you are using, you are fine even after reaching max level.

[@christianwijaya533]

actually selling gives u more money to buy the raw material compared to dismantling. That's why i always sell all unused gear, and use the money for buying material on different blacksmith. Let's calculate a blue gear usualy gives around 200-300 drachmae, which u can use to buy either 20 pelt (@12) or 20-30 iron (@10), when dismantling only gives around 3 pelt & 3 iron. not worth it

[@blaize5115]

the whole game is easy when u play on easy or normal like u are, the tip about a bounty is not a gd one when playing on hard or nightmare as they can 1-2 hit u when the are only 1 level above. thats how i know ur playing on easy or normal as u fought 2 mercenaries 2 levels above u and when they hit you, you only lost a small amount of health. Plus u are doing a bit of damage to them were on the higher difficulty u would be like a fly to them doing nothing damage wise. Pro tip: stay still and allow eagle to land the press the action key to feed or pet him/her :)

[@davidneraas750]

But still Ian even playing on nightmare diffeculty is fairly easy all i do is camp snipe with the achilles bow and exploit the predictable enemy ai they will check the last place you shot an arrow from all you need to do is keep moving from spot and rinse and repeat. The only enemy that has given me trouble so far was spoiler alert the cyclops boss just because he is a bullet spunge. but not in the good darksouls way.

[@phualeon1941]

I total agreed with u. On deathmatch 1 hit from an emeny take away 1-2 bar of hp. Second wind could not keep up. There are times you get gang by more than 5 normal enemy with 2-3 bounty hunter. Image the arrows and bomb flying around that 2-3 hit you.

Also there's a definite difficulty ramp that starts around level 20 where the enemies will use more abilities and slightly more elaborate combos. Might not be apparent to someone using the style put forward in the video.

[@RedAISkye]

Sparta Kick is a must get when you're just getting into the game because then, you can just lure the enemy to a higher grounds and then knock them off so they are easily killed with the fall damage, this way, you could be a level 5 stomping a level 30 just by sparta kicking the shit out of them.

I would suggest using your eagle to look at mercenaries to work out what level they are. If they are legendary / epic then consider recruiting them for your ship. It also helps when you summon a lieutenant because they will have the same skills and fighting style as when you fought them and they can wreck enemies.

[@whatthefuck9703]

Ac unity too

[@Durrutitv]

Telling people to go all in on 1 tree is probably the worst advice you can give for this game, even worse than "make sure you parry and dodge". You can only use 4 melee, and 4 ranged active abilities at one time. To be effective you first want to decide if you want to focus primarily on ranged or melee choose 4 actives of that type that can fit your playstyle then pick the rest of your skills to support and synergize those actives. Even if you want to play a very strict archetype, like a hunter assassin or warrior, you'll benefit greatly from using skills in another category. For instance, flaming attacks and venomous attacks are DOT buffs that will work just as well with ranged or melee weapons, and venomous is objectively better due as it has a debuff that flaming doesn't have. Second wind is always useful. Hero Strike is one of the best combat abilities a warrior can equip. Devastating Shot is an invaluable as a stealth assassin....ect ect ect. Personally I prefer melee combat, the only actives I use in the warrior tree are a heal and a buff, Second Wind and Battlecry of Ares, while my primary attacks are Assassination Rush and Hero Strike from the Assassin Tree. This makes for an extremely fluid and aggressive melee playstyle that would not be available to me if I stuck to just dumping my points in to 1 tree.

[@YoungBaller-sj6wd]

Durruti You can have 8 melee active abilities

[@Durrutitv]

If they changed that, that's cool but you certainly couldn't when I finished the game in patch 1.0.5, only ranged abilities could be assigned under the left trigger modifier. I tried googling to confirm but I can't find anywhere that notes that change but I'll take your word for it since I don't plan to reinstall just to see if they opened up the LT modifier to melee abilities. Anyway, that doesn't change the point of my post: that going all in on 1 tree is terrible advice.

[@BenAHulse]

You just hold the button used to activate the skill and push down on the keypad and you get another 4 abilities ... for both melee and ranged

If you are selling stuff rather than tearing it down, I would suggest tearing down the bows, as they give you the wood, at least until you get your ship upgraded. Also if you had not already figured it out, and I did not hear it mentioned here, if you are boarding and use the spartan kick to kick strong enemies off the ship into the water, they will not get back on.

[@netatsake]

For the record no enemy gets back on the ship when knocked off, regardless of what you knock them off with.

[@Drewupanew1]

[@hansheden]

I'm level 99 and mastery level 101. There's alot here I don't agree with you on. My tips: 1: Do a Jack-of-all-trades build. You'll allways have something that works whatever the situation. Don't be a one-trick-pony. 2: It's "Assassins' Creed" not "Archers' Creed", stealth and a quick stab in the back is the way to go. 3: If you need money: Sell. If you need resources: Dismantle. Keep an eye on what you get from different gear, it might be so that one type of gear doesn't give the resource you want, then, sell. 4: Keep the stuff that fits your playstyle. With the the new "slot"-system you can have several builds and switch easy. 5: Don't get a bounty on your head. Those guys turn up at the worst time. Stay of the radar and be the hunter instead of the hunted. 6: Do everything! You paid for a full game. Why play less than half of it? 7: Board ships to get the most loot. Just remember that Spartan and Athenian ship will increase you Bounty-level and if you board and kill the crew, each kill will also add to the bounty. Conquest sea battle will not increase your bounty no matter how much you board and kill. Pirates are free for all.

I went to a high lvl neutral zone at the start of the game ( lvl 40+) and just looted the armor/weapon racks. It sells for good money and also gives more when dismantled.

I like how he thinks he gives better advice than literally anyone else. While still mentioning things like. "The only use for sync- points is for fast travelling". While not even mentioning the fact that Ikaros will find both enemies and things like chests and war-supplies easier if you synchronise. Also you should NOT only focus on one damage type like he does in this video. If you balance it out a little, you will have something for every occasion. My favourite is assassin-hunter, but without warrior damage I wouldn't be able to take out mercenaries on the same level as me. It is a terrible idea to always have two or three bounty marks at all time. You will constantly be bombarded with bounty hunters. Which tend to show up at the worst time possible. This is the sole video I've watched this far. And it is certainly the one with the worst advice.

Keep in mind..on nightmare difficulty, it wont matter how much stats you stack.

The only legendaries youd want to upgrade are weapons. Dont upgrade your blue and purples because you'll get them back easily. Selling or dismantling all the gear you're not using is the best route..no need to hoarde, especially with gear and weapons thatll become useless in 2 levels
