Things I Wish I Knew Earlier In Assassin's Creed Odyssey (Tips & Tricks)

[@trunghoang4503]

Tip: whenever you see a blacksmith, check what he sells, sometimes you could buy ancient tablets or cultist clues from him

[@7lukeiamyourfather7]

to save you some time the only cultist clue you get from a smith is in korinth. all the others are by quests (main or side) or by killing other cultists. also can't say about "basic" cultists but you can find and kill some sages without uncovering them first ie the sage from the eyes and from the heroes

[@rich1051414]

@@7lukeiamyourfather7 Yeah, she will even say out loud that a cultist clue is nearby. I was utterly confused, after looting all the fortresses in the area and finding nothing. Finally I gave up and just visited the blacksmith... and he was selling it.

[@stuartbagley2586]

Richard Smith Dude, that was totally me, too. It was very frustrating.

[@jaylensmith1757]

I killed that level 50 mercenary who turned out to be a sage in the cult and I was only level 33 I’m 37 now but the only sage I’ve killed so far any tip on finding the others?

[@weirdisspeltweird]

@@jaylensmith1757 The easiest way is to just hunt down the cultists in the branch one by one. The eyes of Kosmos is pretty easy to get done especially at your level. Some sages won't be uncovered until certain points in the story but if you look at the cultist page in the menu it will tell you how to find the clues to find them.

[@MichelleEatonIsAwesome]

If you find yourself constantly short on wood resources, break ships in half by ramming them. You get a lot more wood this way than you do by boarding them.

[@benedicht]

Omg thank you so much, how often have I faced the “no arrows available” message 😂

[@danielc1792]

On higher levels, I just sell any weapon I get from enemy drops, then use that money to buy wood. You will get way more wood that way than if you just disassembled the enemy gear, as the money the merchants pay you for selling high-level gear scales with your level.

Ruk us : this comment is a reference to the game (AC:O) and Eminem. If you have played the game, it will tell you that a conquest battle is available because the nation has become vulnerable. In this video Gamer Guru talks really fast (or edited the video to appear that way), and we know that Eminem is sort of like the ‘Rap God.’ So, Eminem is now vulnerable and a rap battle (instead of conquest) is now available. ?did u really need this?

[@OfficialBlazy]

Tip #1 : Dismantle colored items you don't need as u will get a lot more resources and sell items that aren't colored for gold Tip #2 : If you're playing for the first time and are searching for items just use your eagle and it will mark it for you. Once in the cave be sure that you have REVELATION skill and hold down the button to reveal the resources and chest within AoE (Area Of Effect). Tip # 3 : Raid forts at night as everyone is sleeping and set up trap on the lightning beacon to disable for reinforcements. Tip # 4 : Battle in the arena after you reach level 25. You will get huge amount of EXP. Keep repeating. Tip # 5 : Do the side quests because if you ignore them, some of them will not appear again and are gone forever. Tip # 6 : If you have an assassin build for example. Pick up complete assassin gear 5/5 and weapons and engrave critical chances and critical damage into it for massive sneak damage. Same goes for hunter and warrior or if you combine then pick up hunter for bow, assassin for daggers and warrior for swords and heavy weapons and staffs. Tip # 7 : After you reach level 50 it goes up to level 99. After level 50 & 99 is mastery levels so be sure to do DLC's as well and visit every single tomb to get skill points. Once you reach atlantis your skill tree will unlock mastery level for 1 special skill in each tree. Tip # 8 : You can repeat the game as many times as you want Tip #9 : Play it with joystick as i strongly recommend it. Tip #10 : Board quests are infinite and good way of earning EXP, gold and resources Tip #11 : If you hate microtransactions do the Orichalcum quests. Every 7 days 2 quests and every 24h 1 daily quest. Save the ores as you can buy the special gear that isn't available in the world to save money. Special items that you can buy with Orichalcum it also resets every 7 days. You got to have internet connection Duh! Tip #12 : There are also plenty resources in the caves that has gems, obsidian glass and iron metal. So just climb the wall and u will see them glowing. Tip #13 : Before you destroy the supply crate in forts and camps, make sure you loot it first as it will give you wood, tablets and leather and other crafting materials. Tip #14 : If you love history visit Odyssey tour as there you can go in first person look mode with an attack button and you will also learn a lot as history is on point. Answer quiz but don't worry if you have wrong answer. Tip #15 : If you hate breathing meter under water there is a staff of poseidon that has breathing under water ability. Get it, equip it and you can explore the under water caves safe with more time. You also unlock the engraving later in game and just apply it to the weapon of your choice and you won't drown. Tip #16 : Constant pressing the X button (on PS) or A (xbox i think) will cause your character to sprint. Tip #17 : Purple wing horse jumping from high point mountains or hills will not take damage. Tip #18 : After reaching level 20 you will have no falling damage Tip #19 : Pick up olive wood from the trees around the world as well as stones. Tip #20 FINAL TIP : If Gamer Guru is talking too fast just put the play speed to 0.50 or 0.75 :) P.S. Try the player story created mode if you are into community build quests.

I use the "Rush Assassination" ability ALL the time. Once you level it up to 3/3, you can chain assassinate guards (up to 4) really fast and it only uses 1 adrenaline bar. And it fills up within a second or two as long as your not noticed so you can use it again. Works best in the forts where there's MAD guards..

[@ForeverMizzy]

On god

Theres a DLC with a legendary weapon that adds a new perk which will add 1 more chain to it now too, so it can be up to 5 I believe. You may be able to add it to more armor or weapons too, havent checked

[@juergunmagerkinsquirter1280]

A good tip for everyone who is annoyed by side quests etc. Every time you come across an unofficial camp or cave or pack of animals kill them all. You will have mission complete tags pop up showing you have fulfilled a contract without having to trek to the place to talk to the person wanting it.

[@steveotatooed]

Tip: Use Ikaros to spot any sharks in the water. You can then use your bow while in the water on the surface to hit the sharks. They don’t aggro unless diving beneath the surface.

[@vincentkrommenhoek7431]

Extra tip: upgrading gear wil cost resources. However, upgrading from lvl 30 to 35 is as expensive as upgrading from lvl 5 to 35. So dont upgrade every lvl when you want to keep using your gear. Extra tip: sell your looted gear and buy resources at the blacksmith. If you are in tear 8 in the rankinglist of mercenairies, you get 50% discount when buying recources. Extra tip: when looting chests under water, try and shoot the sharks with your bow while you are stil at the surface.

Once you have the Leonides spear up to level 5, reset your abilities to get as many as possible up to level three. Drop any you don’t like or rarely use to get others more favourite levelled fully up. There is a lot of difference between a level 2 Spartan kick and a level three.

[@joellee6142]

how do you reste the points

[@navidforouhar]

Just a very useful tip: create a loadout for you assassin damage and engrave your highest point armors(in terms of assassin damage) with CRIT CHANCE and CRIT DAMAGE engravements!! Most of the time you can simply assassinate some of the toughest enemies like mercenaries without even fighting then if you get a critical assassination!

Always manual save before starting missions (especially main quests) so you could reset whenever certain decisions don't play out the way you want it to.

[@baronwarborn9305]

Deflect attacks also can deflect arrows. The second wind ability is the most important. Gold is important to buy resources at the blacksmith. Fast travel around blacksmiths to get resources. A tamed bear is pretty useful. Shield breaking ability and a heavy axe or staff are vital in big conquest battles.

[@Ax1oM11oo]

Baron Warborn Shield breaking is a MUST. I don’t think I can do much without it since I tend to attack and recruit soldiers or mercenaries stronger than me.

[@KevAng039]

The second wind along with the armor that gives me full health on a death is almost good like, now that I'm above 50, I'm using those points towards health on damage and more health in general. Almost have to not do anything to die now.

[@reeverfalls2069]

Also the heavy attacks knock shield units around so you can get some Adrenalin for a shield break

[@danielc1792]

I completely forgo all of that and alternate between a flame build and assassin build for such battles. I have enough points in elemental damage that one or two hits can set enemies alight and kill hoplites before they finish burning out. When an enemy captain appears, I just switch to my assassin build, use hero strike (I have enough assassin points to one-shot brute captains thanks to my pirate set), and then switch back to flame build and continue killing ordinary soldiers. Rinse and repeat. Works VERY well on Nightmare. I can clear battles with about a 20% margin of safety for my side.

Great tips! Took me at least 50 hours of gameplay to learn that stuff. I have heard many people suggest dismantling gear to get the resources. I am at level 47 and I have found that at different points in the game I have been resource hungry for different things. At one point I couldn't get enough leather, at another obsidian. Dismantling was not effective for me. I found that you can sell your stuff for more drachmae then go buy what you need. For example, a basic piece of gear would yield 1 obsidian, rare piece of gear 2 obsidian. That same piece of gear would sell for about 400 drachmae (depending on level). I would rather pocket that drachmae and now I always buy nearly all the resources the blacksmith has to sell.

[@farooqyousaf9516]

Thanks for this video. Other than the 'ability' section, I've been doing almost everything else since I started. I've a simple rule with all ACs, as soon as I start, I dedicate the first few hours to synchronising viewpoints everywhere. Once I do that, the gameplay becomes better and less annoying. Secondly, I'm still on level 31, and I've only done 70% of 2 or 3 cities. I levelled up only through side quests and contracts. Contracts and Bounties do help a lot with quick XP. With my past AC experience, one thing I realised really quick was you only enjoy the main story if you are properly levelled up. That's why I spend a lot of time side quests and locations/forts/camps to level up before engaging properly with the main quest

[@kelela37clch]

I do the same thing with the synchronization strategy as well! I just watch a movie on the television above the one I use for gaming and commence with synchronizing viewpoints accordingly! It really does save a great deal of time!

[@alexchesser5209]

If you’re trying to clear the decks of enemy ships after boarding, spec to use the radial explosion warrior ability. Since it sends enemies flying 360 around you, you’ll often be able to knock 2 or 3 enemies off the ship decks in each cast. I’ve one-shot small boats by running into the middle of a pack of enemies that way. Another tip with that radical blast ability is if you combine it with poison or fire weapons (inate-ability or cast) it will also infect the entire circle around you with that same elemental damage. Really fun to walk into the center of a group of enemies, pull out your fire-sword, cast radial blast, watch 4 guys fall into the water and the rest of them sitting at 75% on-fire.

You talk at the perfect speed and with the emphasis on only important information. I love it.

[@matthewzenkiemendoza3415]

Tip 1: If enemies are searching for you Use the meditate so they will forget about you and you can come back and assassinate them Tip 2: When disabling a ship ALWAYS board them for extra xp, weapons from their crates and after your ship health is back to full. Liutenants or a few ship crew can even help you and they respawn after boarding Tip 3: If you got a powerful enemy knocked down Be it mercenary or polemarch (Health almost at zero) recruit them as they give powerful stats same if you stealhthily knock them out if you cant assasinate them you can use paralyzing arrows plus devastating shot Tip 4: Always check shipwrecks as they give out decent loot and even more cooler (epic ship crew) the second type of loot is more rare as i found way farther from Athens Tip 5: Get the beast master ability so you can tame them and fight with you plus their faces are..... find out for yourself oh use the arrows i mentioned in tip 4 too

[@louishart2135]

I invested all of my points in the Warrior category (when i only had like 25) I understand that it’s frustrating to not one-shot your opponent with assassination but if you fully upgrade your fire ability and warrior damage and armor, youll be unstoppable.

[@beqatopuria5870]

tip: upgrading your gear not only upgrades the stats but the buffs as well (class damage is increased by 2% on 11,21,31... levels ). i didnt notice this till i was about 30-40 levels and used to sell or dismantle all the previous items i had, i thought i would just point it out if anyone else hasn't noticed

[@SkyFireDrone2022]

Epic has three attributes, Legendary has two. Engrave whatever you want. Upgrade your favorites. Do the contracts with orichucum first! They are the ones with the blue swirl icon. That allows you to buy legendary gear at the oikos store and try your hand at the gift of the olympians. I’ve gotten two legendary items for a measley 40 orichulcum (20 each) instead of 160 AND I they were Helix store items I didn’t have to spend real money for. If you like “stuff”, that’s the place to go. And there are no repeat drops like the Heka chest had in Origins. 😎 Update: Legendary now has three attributes in addition to the improved set bonus attribute to make them more enticing, and you can customize any piece (of the same type) to look like your favorite pieces that you unlocked.

Anyone on the fence about getting it I say GET IT! Yes it had a little bit of a normal slightly buggy AC but it's such a HUGE game well worth the money and especially if you liked ACorigins gameplay style I love it and I know it prob wont but I'd love AC3 Remaster to have it too XDD

[@iiiEazyiii]

Nuuccii92 I was on the fence because it looked like origins but decided to buy it since it’s on sale for $50 GOLD edition meaning comes with season pass & remaster of AC3 which I never bought for AC game(that says something). The regular is like $30 but get the gold the upcoming dlcs look promising. You can get it for 5 bucks cheaper from green man gaming than the Ubisoft winter sale store

[@KevAng039]

I've got about 80 hours into the game, just finished all the underwater locations, now working on the side missions, high points and getting ancient tablets. I have Deimos and Kleon left before exposing the middle person and still feel like I have a crap ton of stuff to do. Loved fighting a real minotaur and Medusa was a pain but when I levelled up, it was a great fight along with the other big 2 bounty contracts you get at the beginning, those 2 were a nice surprise.

I can't even count the number of times I found myself laughing as the enemy went flying over a cliff and splatting on the ground far below. Maybe that just says something about me????? :) I had strayed away for Odyssey for a bit but with your advice (I did not even know about upgrading the ship!), I will now be returning to the game and using the message boards to do quests to help gain me levels.

[@archieschwartz4204]

That's what I did for the minotaur

[@Sleepydill]

knowing you can fast travel to the ship docks helped a lot

[@Astristul]

1. Get the Northern Traveller Set (warrior) and the Ezio set (assassin), for free, from the Ubi Connect store, as rewards and the Bighorn Bow, from the Helix store. You won't need any other armor until the end of the game! A better assassin set would be the Snake set, which you'll also can get for free, by playing the. Wait until you reach level 99 before you kill the 5th member of a cluster cult and use HIGH level scaling. That way, you'll get the entire set upgraded for free, to level 99. And, believe me, it's worth it. Upgrading, even at level 99, is VERY expensive. Especially for legendary parts! 2. Get the Blade of Yumminness as early as you can, using the Blacksmith glitch reload. Even if it will take you 1 day! Trust me, it's sooo worth it! That weapon is a game changer and, most probably, the best weapon from the game! 3. Once you leave Kephallonia and get the Adrestia, reach Athens, meet Perikles and complete the "A friend in need quest". Lie to Heitor so that you'll keep his sword. Now you'll have the 2nd best weapon from the game and you don't need any other weapon to play, from this moment on. 4. Complete Phidias quest line so that you'll get the +30% Armor Penetration engraving, to put on Heitor's Harpe. For the Blade of Y. go for CRIT Damage. From this point on, just explore the map and don't go for any main quests (my Odyssey)! 5. Invest the skill points obtained in sixth sense, second wind, weapons master, gear master, charged heavy attack, shadow assassin, stealth master, death veil, revelation. For masteries go for CRIT Chance in the Hunter & Assassin tabs (full health). 6. Complete all the Aingmata Ostrakas for CRIT Chance & Damage at Full Health perks. Once completed, fully upgrade them at Hephaistos' workshop, in Malis. Look for a cave, in the north, in the mouintains, and go left, in the cave. 7. Bounty-Mercenary-Kill. Rinse and repeat and you'll never run out of resources. Apply this tactic to naval battles as well. Go on top of your ship and snipe all of them, when boarding. And yes, ALWAYS board a ship for better resources! NEVER cleave/sink a ship! 8. Look on the map and if you see a conquest battle available (red & blue flags) search for the leader in that region and kill him. Now go to the conquest battle. This is an easy way to farm good resources. 9. Get Lykourgos, Athena, Charon (Helix Store) and Evie (Ubi Connect reward) as your ship lieutenants. You can keep them in NG+ as well, unlike the ones recruited in the game! And this combination offers you the best attack-defense combo, that Adrestia could get in this game. 10. Enjoy the game! This is the best AC RPG released EVER! Valhalla could never reach its lever!

I also test the "main quest needed" limits of any game i play. I got origins and odyssey during the +70% off deal a month or two ago, and i explored every single thing on the map before progressing the story at all. And when i unlocked the entire map, i dedicated my time to getting every synchronization point there is. Occassionally sneaking around the 20+ level higher than me guards to loot stuff. I am pretty sure that sun reflecting thing way down south was not meant to be finished before the first main story in Alexandria.

[@KingBongHogger]

Sparta kick should be the first thing you unlock. For usefulness and entertainment. It's so satisfying kicking someone into a wall or a pot of oil by a torch.

[@kaydanstrider253]

1.Get The heal ability early in game. 2. Get posidean tridant early so you can attach breath underwater to the weapon your using. 3 . Do the oriculum quests every week and check the shop every week. 4.heavy blunted weapons will chain on your over power ability, use it for groups and your sword as a fast weapon for 1V1 5. Running is always a option. Stick and move. 6. Save frequently. Exit a fort every so often and save so if ya die you don't have to do the fort all over again.

[@dan8532]

The shield breaker perk works almost as well as the Sparta kick. I charge up my bar and just spam back and forth on them when I have a ton of enemies. Just climb one of the archer towers in a base and knock them all off.

For your first mission to meet the Wolf of Sparta, on your first journey on the Adriesta. Dock the ship then grab a horse and go directly east till you hit water again. there is a dock there make sure you go near it to activate it. Then call the adriesta and you are on the eastern map, this is where all the islands are. cruise around the islands activating the docks on these islands...this will be some of the pre-investment that is needed to open the map up. Just hug some of the shorelines. Then when you want to explore an island you just fast travel to the port where it wil lthen open up for you.

Spartan kick is overrated. It’s not good enough for crowd control, and its main purpose is to kick someone off high ground to deal a ton of damage. The thing is, enemies that actually give you trouble you probably cannot kick, and those who you can kick are often no threat at all, making them walking adrenaline refill pools(using normal attacks), which are not worth wasting your adrenaline on.
