In this guide, we will show you where the spear found in Melissani Cave is. You need to have the Footsteps of the Gods quest to find this spear.
AC Odyssey: Melissani Cave Spear Location
There are actually two ways to enter the Melissani caves. The longer way is by heading down the steps of the temple and follow the marker for the mission. It will lead you across the street towards a large hill. As you approach, you will notice a steep drop into the water-filled cave below. In the pool at the bottom of the cave, you will find a few items of treasure and other items. If you head towards the back of the cave you will see a tunnel. That tunnel sends you underwater; you can swim for a while into the cave before it dumps you off at the entrance of the final room. Inside the multi-level room are 4 or 5 weak guards keep watch over the Spear of Kephalos. DIspatch them, take the Spear of Kephalos, and head out.
There is actually a better way to get into the cave if you don’t care about grinding for loot under water. As soon as you leave the steps of the temple you will get a popup that your enemy is nearby. Send your hawk to explore and he will see a small cave opening directly behind Temple of Zeus. Look for a small campsite with ferns behind it; you’ll see a crack in the side of the mountain behind the campsite that you can squeeze through. On the other side, you will immediately encounter the guards watching over the Spear of Kephalos.
Spear Location in Footsteps of the Gods Quest
To obtain the Spear of Kephalos, you will need to head to the Temple of Zeus in Sami on Kephallonia to get the quest “In the Footsteps of Gods.” When you approach the temple you will notice a priestess praying on the steps of the Temple, to your right of the doorway. When you approach the priestess you will overhear her prayers.
To find and acquire the spear in the Footsteps of Gods in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey go to the back of the pool and climb into the cave entrance.
Climb into the cave entrance to find and acquire the spear in In the Footsteps of Gods in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey.
Follow the cave system under and above water all the way to the end. Make your way through the cave killing any enemies. The spear is in a chest in the cave.
Follow the cavern until you surface in another part of Melissani Cave and proceed until you overhear some bandits and then proceed with caution. You’ll need to eliminate the two bandits and collect the second Treasure Chest to complete this area.
You can now head back to the priestess at the Temple of Zeus to complete this quest. The dialogue includes a moment when you can choose to forgo the reward, simply offering to donate the Spear to the temple. In this outcome, the priestess expresses her gratitude and attests that she will offer assistance in the future, should Kassandra need help. Apparently the priestess is willing to extend her offer to another person whom Kassandra may refer to the temple for assistance, as well.
NOTE: If you have already collected the Spear while you were exploring, you will be faced with the same choice, whether to return the Spear or to keep and sell it.
