Assassin’s Creed Odyssey guide – tips, hints and walkthroughs

Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey is the newest member of the AC family, with a sprawling open world set in ancient Greece.
For the first time, players were able to choose between playing as a male or female protagonist, each with their own unique dialogue and NPC interactions.

In this guide, we’ll be listing some of the major choices you’ll have to make as either Kassandra or Alexios that can impact romances, plot and the ending of the game, so here’s the obligatory spoiler warning.

You can check out our review of Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey here if you’re unsure whether this Greek adventure is the one for you.

Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey – Kassandra or Alexios?

Struggling to decide whether should you choose Kassandra or Alexios? There aren’t too many difference between them but it is a marvel that Ubisoft has chosen to include a female protagonist this time around.

Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey horses

A man’s only as good as his horse, or something like that. Your horse will always be called Phobos but there a few different horses available. Whilst there’s no real difference between the horses in regards to carrying capacity or stamina, it’s always nice to have a choice. We’ll also show you where to find some Legendary horse skins in this guide which we promise isn’t as creepy as it sounds.

Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey best skills and abilities for stealth, warriors, and hunters

There are various skills and abilities you can learn in AC: Odyssey and you can focus on certain ones to suit your own playstyle. These games were built with stealth in mind and Odyssey is no different. You can choose to play stealthily as an Assassin, as a powerful Warrior or as a cunning Hunter, with separate skill trees for each class. Each style will obviously affect how certain missions pan out, so take care when choosing your abilities.

Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey best weapons for the early, mid, and late game

There’s an arsenal of weapons to choose from in AC: Odyssey, including Legendary weapons and upgradable elements that you can forge at a blacksmith. There are also rare and powerful weapons hidden in chests all over the world and are available through the various stages of the game so you won’t be caught short.

Some of the more impressive weapons of the game include the Dagger of Kronus, Pandora’s Kopis and the Mallet of Everlasting Flame, which is as dangerous as it sounds.

Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey best armor and how to engrave it

Like weapons, armour comes in various rarity ranks and you’ll be awarded bonuses for wearing a full set of a certain type of armour. You can also engrave your armour, allowing you to add any of the stat boosts and increasing its power and utility.

You unlock engravings by completing in-game challenges and obtaining Legendary items also unlocks their Legendary engraving. There are five main armour slots: Head, Arms, Torso, Waist, and Legs. You can fill these slots with equipment of four different rarity levels, each with different types of special abilities.
