AC Odyssey: Tips and tricks

1. Try to collect as much loot as possible - pick up gold (drachmae), resources, new weapons and pieces of armor. You can sell useless items or dismantle them to get crafting materials. Try travelling during nighttime - items are easier to spot during this day time (they shine). Revelations skill is also useful because it allows you to "scan" areas. Items can be collected even when you are riding on a horse. Keep pressing the interaction button when you are riding on your horse to collect all nearby treasures.

2. Don't get attached to your gear. In Odyssey, an item's level is its most important stat. Even a rare purple or gold item can become useless when your character gets a few levels. Upgrades at a blacksmith are expensive so try to limit them only to your main weapon. In other cases, you should focus on getting gear from quests and exploration. For example, a blue level 20 item can make you much stronger than a purple or gold level 15 item. Rare and the best items or truly important in the endgame part.

3. Use every opportunity to kill wild animals. You can get a lot of Soft Leather, one of the most important crafting materials. The game has an interesting mechanic where the bigger animal you hunt, the more skins you get. Another advantage of hunting animals is that killing predators and destroying their nests rewards you with XP.

4. Forts, camps and military facilities should be infiltrated during a night. Odyssey, just like Origins, gives you the option to speed up time by pressing one button. Enemies have a reduced field of view during the night which is helpful when you want to sneak around them. What is more, some of them will go to sleep. You can go around them or use this opportunity to kill them in sleep. Try to complete all mission objectives while you are infiltrating forts and enemy bases - you will get more XP or additional rewards. You should also look for war supplies. Steal their content before you burn these chests.

5. Spend your first few skill points on active abilities. AC: Odyssey gives you an opportunity to unlock a few powerful active abilities during the first few hours. Check out Bull Rush (unblockable charges), Sparta Kick (knocks a target back - stand on a rooftop or near an edge to get the best effect), Predator Shot (a much more powerful attack with your bow) and Second Wind (spend adrenaline to heal during a fight). Once you get all four of them, you can think about unlocking a few passive skills, i.e. those that increase Assassin or Hunter damage.

6. Grey items should be dismantled, blue and purple should be sold at a blacksmith. Don't carry any grey items to a blacksmith, these items are worth only a few or a dozen of drachmae. It is better to dismantle them in your inventory. Sell only useless blue and purple weapons and pieces of armor. Every item from both of these categories is worth a few hundreds of coins.

7. Visit all the discovered tombs. They are unique locations that can provide you with extra skill points. Explore them to level up faster without the need of waiting until you reach a new level.

8. Check a level of every enemy you want to attack. You can have problems if their level is higher than yours. Here, your best solution is to run away and go back here once you level up. Remember, that in AC: Odyssey enemies' levels scale up with yours. It is impossible to have an advantage of 5-10 levels. This means that you have to update your gear to match your current level.

9. Not all question markings are displayed on the map. You should be familiar with them thanks to Origins but this time the game won't display them all when you visit a new region. The best solution is to ride on your horse through an entire region. The game adds new question markings when you get closer to those locations (you have to be about 400 meters away from them). Try to check all the markers. Only then the game will display the list of activities available in that location (i.e. killing a commander, finding chests, destroying war supplies). Locations that can provide you with loot or a huge amount of XP are your priority.

10. Not every assassination end with the death of your target. AC Odyssey features even more resistant enemies than Origins who can survive an assassination or a shot from a bow (even when you aim at their head). You can check an enemy's level even before you attack them - when their health bar isn't entirely in red then it means that this enemy will survive an assassination. Invest in abilities (active and passive) that will give you access to more powerful attacks.

AC Odyssey: Maps

We have prepared various high-resolution maps from which you can learn where to find quests, secrets and collectibles. These maps will also help you find side activities. On our maps we have marked important collectibles: tombs, Ainigmata Ostraka documents, lookout towers (eagles - synchronization points), stone tablets and even romances. Thanks to them you will easily find yourself in the vast world of Assassin's Creed Odyssey. Our World Atlas is an important part of the guide - use it wisely.

Kephallonia Islands Map - the map of the first location in the game. We have described the most important places in Kephallonia Island such as Itaka or Odysseus's Palace. We did not forget about Sami Village. Kephallonia Island is also the first place where you will find three collectibles, Ainigmata Ostraka documents - Marko'ss Vineyard, Melissani Cave and Odysseus's Palace. Also here you will discover your first stone tablet and start an affair with Odessa.
Megaris - Megaris is the second island you will visit. Here you will learn about the mechanics of conquest, attack the fort and visit the first tomb in the game. Our Megaris map shows all the most important activities.
Phokis - Phokis is the third island, and at the same time much larger than the two previous ones. That's why the Phokis map will be useful during exploration. We marked here, of course, a tomb (Tomb of the First Pythia), two Ainigmata Ostraka documents and 4 stone tablets. In Phokis you will also start 3 romances: with Auxesia, Lykaon and Daphnae.
