Quests Achievements
In Perseus’s Image
Defeat Medusa.
On Lesbos Island, there is a quest that will lead you to fighting Medusa.
A-maze-ing Victory!
Defeat the Minotaur.
On Messara, there is a quest that will lead you to fighting the Minotaur.
Eye on the Prize
Defeat the Cyclops.
On Kythera, there is a quest that will lead you to fighting the Cyclops. This is NOT the same Cyclops from the beginning of the game.
Riddle Me This
Outwit the Sphinx.
In Boeotia, there is a quest that will lead you to a fight with a Sphinx.
Going For Gold
Complete the Olympic questline.
This one is handed to you during the storyline, in Chapter 7. Your character will participate in the Olympic Games, and as a result this achievement is born.
Birthright
Discover Atlantis and speak with Pythagoras.
During Chapter 7, you will visit Atlantis. This is another achievement that is handed to you during the storyline.
Everybody Benefits
Complete Markos’s questline.
This one isn’t as involved as many others. The questline that this relates to starts on Keos Island. Just finish them, and you’ll get this achievement.
Trust Me, I’m a Doctor
Complete the Hippokrates questline.
This is also a pretty easy one. Hippokrates is located in Boeotia, and the questline contains only two easy missions.
A Pirate’s Life for Me
Complete Xenia’s questline.
You will first encounter Xenia on Keos Island during Chapter 5. Thereafter, you will need to complete her five treasure hunts to obtain this trophy.
Master of the Hunt
Complete the Daughters of Artemis questline.
This one entails completing a series of difficult quests that send you on a wild goosechase to track down and kill many forms of elite wildlife. The quest itself starts in Phokis, and upon completing the first quest you will be granted multiple additional quests that will take you all over Greece. It’s time consuming, and you will need a high level, well-geared character to finish all of them.
Misthios in Training
Complete 20 Bounties, War Contracts, or Naval Quests from Message Boards.
Each city contains a Message Board. The majority of the Bounties, War Contracts, and Naval Quests are all timed missions; some a few hours, some as long as a day. Simply complete 20 of any of these missions.
Island Hopper
Complete 20 Quests on Pephka, Obsidian and Abantis islands.
For this achievement, you need to complete 20 quests on EACH of these islands. Complete all of the ones that you can find out in the open, and then finish up the remaining ones that you need on the Message Board. This is also a great way to work towards Misthios in Training. It’s best to keep your own tally of how many quests you’ve completed in which area.
Upgrades Achievements
Make It Your Own
Engrave your first item.
Visit any Blacksmith and apply any Engraving to any item in your inventory.
The Midas Touch
Engrave a Legendary Item with a Legendary Effect.
This is a little confusing to explain. Each time you find a Legendary weapon (whether off a dead body, from a quest, or from loot), it teaches you its Legendary Engraving. However, you can not apply the Legendary Engraving to its namesake. Therefore, you need at least two Legendary weapons to complete this achievement. You find the first Legendary weapon, then use the Legendary Engraving that it teaches you on the second Legendary weapon that you find.
Shiny!
Acquire and equip your first Legendary item.
Legendary items have a gold colored background to their inventory slot (where as others have purple, blue, etc.). It shouldn’t take you too long to find one, maybe around your 10th or so level. Alternatively, you can buy a Legendary bundle from the Ubisoft store to nab this.
I am Legend
Equip 1 Legendary melee weapon and 5 Legendary armor pieces.
This will come over time, as you need to outfit your character almost entirely in Legendary gear. Loot everything and every dead body, explore, and it will come naturally. Alternatively, you can buy a Legendary bundle from the Ubisoft store to nab this.
Fashion’s Creed
Equip a Legendary Armor set.
Each armor set consists of five pieces; head, chest, waist, gloves, and boots. The easiest way to get this achievement is to complete the quests that surround the Cultists of Kosmos; more specifically, The Eyes of Kosmos. The mission sees to it that you defeat five cultists, and at the end you gain the Snake Set.
Legacy Restored
Upgrade your Spear to Tier 6.
The spear in question is Leonidas’ Spear. You won’t be able to begin this until you reach at least Chapter 3 of the main story. You will end up visiting a forge, which will upgrade the spear to Tier 2 automatically. In order to continue upgrading Leonidas’ Spear, you need to gain Mysterious Fragments; which are dropped by Kosmos’ Cultists. If you need help with the Cultists, this is a pretty decent guide.
Demigod
Reach Level 50.
This is another achievement that just takes alot of time. You will easily be level 50 halfway through the game if you’re completing all locations and quests as you go. Don’t invest much time in farming unless you’re having difficulty passing specific areas, as there’s plenty of XP to be had.
Godly Power
Acquire a Tier 3 active Ability.
Most abilities are able to be upgraded three times. Of course, these upgrades are locked behind character level and overall story progression. Pick a skill you really like, and continue to upgrade it over the course of the game.
Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger
Upgrade the Adrestia for the first time.
Adrestia is your ship. Once you gain a Carpenter into your crew, you can begin upgrading. At this point, you should have enough resources to grab at least one upgrade, and along with it this achievement.
Lord of the Seas
Fully upgrade the Adrestia.
This will take time, resources, and patience. Once you gain a carpenter in your crew, you can start upgrading your ship; Adrestia. You need to upgrade every single slot to its fullest potential to gain this achievement.
Exploration Achievements
Hermes’s Homie
Unveil all sub-regions of Greece.
When a sub-region is “unveiled”, it goes from greyish-brown to full color. This achievement does not entail exploring all of the questionmarked areas on the map, but by simply setting foot in the sub-region.
Child of Poseidon
Complete all underwater location objectives.
There are a total of 42 underwater locations. Their symbol looks like the tail of a whale. You need to complete all of the objectives in each location to unlock this achievement. Send out Ikaros to scout the area for any pick-ups that you need to find.
Misc. Achievements
Aphrodite’s Embrace
Spend the night with another character.
The earliest that you can get this is during Chapter 1. Regardless of your character’s gender, you will be able to romance Odessa once you save her and complete her questline. Every time you talk to her, pick the option with the heart beside it.
I Have the Power
Perform an Overpower Attack with every weapon type.
To unlock Overpower Attack, you need to be at least level 16. To perform one, you need to have at least 3 bars of adrenaline available. Use the attack with each available weapon type; sword, dagger, spear, blunt weapon, staff, bow.
War Master
Kill the Leader of any Region with Low Resources, other than Megaris.
You get the tutorial for this early in the game, but you must perform this action for the achievement outside of it. After you reach Fokida, you will be able to find Leaders scattered across the world. Their identity can generally be found at a Leader House. You need to weaken the region to get to them first, though. You can do this not only via quests, but by destroying crates, killing soldiers, stealing from chests, etc.; anything that damages the area. Afterward, go and kill the Leader. Keos is a fairly small area if you’re looking to get this one done quickly.
Infamous
Raise your Bounty to the maximum level.
Yes ladies and gents, the Bounty bar is back. Visit a large city and start killing everyone in your way, and pretty soon this one will be yours. If you don’t manage to do it quickly enough, you may find yourself overwhelmed by Mercenaries.
Hero for Hire
Win your first on land conquest battle in any region (excluding Megaris in Hero’s Journey).
After you reach Phokis, you’ll be able to start weakening the region and participate in Conquest Battles. These are marked as red and blue battle standards on your world map. Pick a side, defeat all the commanders within, and achieve victory.
One Head Down…
Defeat a full cluster of Cultists of Kosmos.
You’ll uncover the Cult of Kosmos once you reach Phokis. It’ll unveil a Cultists tab in the pause menu, similar to the Mercenaries tab. You need to hunt down and kill a full branch of the Cultists. If you need help, this guide is your best friend.
The Cult Unmasked
Defeat all the Cultists of Kosmos.
Similar to One Head Down… you will need to defeat every single Cultist of Kosmos. Again, this guide is your best friend for these two achievements.
You Work for Me Now
Recruit and assign a Legendary NPC for your ship.
The easiest way to do this is to unlock Evie Frye from Ubisoft Rewards. Alternatively, you can just look for any “Gold” character (IE: a Captain or Leader) in any explorable location, and knock them out by sneaking up behind them instead of assassinating them. Choose to recruit them afterward.
The Argonauts
Fully crew the Adrestia with Legendary Lieutenants.
You need to repeat the steps listed in You Work for Me Now. However, there will only be one Lieutenant slot available at first. To unlock more, you must upgrade the hull of the Adrestia.
Blood Sport
Defeat a Mercenary in the Arena.
Once you get into the Arena, as described in Are You Not Entertained?, pick the Penultimate option. It’s a fight with a random Mercenary.
Are You Not Entertained?
Become Champion of the Arena.
You will encounter the Arena on Pephka Island. The only way in is to get an invitation, which is dropped by killing any Mercenary within the area. This will unlock a subsequent side-quest that will get you into the Arena. You have to kill all of the weaker warriors, plus the level 50 boss, so this is best saved for end game.
Top of the Food Chain
Become the first Mercenary.
This achievement is a tough one. You’ll need to hunt down high tier Mercenaries in order to rank up. Simply killing multiple low tier ones will not advance you. You also have to discover these foes by running into them around Greece. You can check what the tier is of the Mercenaries that you run into on the appropriate tab in the pause screen. If it’s one that’s at the tier that you’re currently on, skip them and look for a higher ranking one.
Ramming Speed
Cleave a ship in half.
This one is easy to unlock, even within the tutorial section. Simply damage any enemy ship enough to get its health very low, then maneuver so that you’re facing the side of it, head on. Now force your crew to go full speed. If it causes the boat to go into “boarding mode”, don’t board it. Back up and ram it again.
Wrath of the Amazons
Cleave a ship while having an all-women crew.
Now do what you did in Ramming Speed again, but with a Female Crew cosmetic equipped. One can either be unlocked by completing the Olympic Games questline, or simply by unlocking one through the Ubisoft Rewards program.
Scourge of the Aegean
Sink your first Epic Ship.
If you’ve ever played Black Flag, then you’ll know how frustrating it is to take down an Epic Ship. It’s pretty similar in Odyssey, except these boats are more rare. Their icons are presented as gold on the world map. While you can find these ships all over, a very prominent and easy-to-locate one is manned by Asterion, a Cultist of Kosmos, and it is located south from Abantis Islands and north from Andros. It’s recommended to leave this until your ship is almost fully upgraded, as these Epic Ships can be accompanied by smaller vessels as well. Refer to the picture for the placement of Asterion’s ship.
Stink Eye
Recover the Cyclops’s eye from a goat on Kephallonia.
After you deal with Cyclops and his crew, you must remember the poor goat that got his eye shoved up his poopchute. You have to hunt this goat down, but it’s really just killing random goats in a certain location. 10-20 goats should do. Refer to the video guide below for further information.
