Assassin’s Creed Odyssey Story Summary
Expanding to the Rest of Greece
Upon arriving at Megaris, Kassandra catches a glimpse of Nikolaos, and is quickly greeted by Stentor, his adopted son. She volunteers to fight for Sparta in the upcoming conquest battle, and helps to weaken Athens’ hold on the region before then. After defeating the nation leader, she’s granted a private audience with Nikolaos himself.
When they meet, Kassandra has many questions for him. Nikolaos tells her that he isn’t actually her biological father, and that she should seek out Myrinne, who will have answers for her. At this point, the player can choose to either kill Nikolaos, or let him go.
Regardless of what you decide, Kassandra will take Nikolaos’ helmet and sail to Phokis to meet Elpenor. Along the way, Barnabas suggests that she should meet with the Oracle of Delphi to see what her future holds. Kassandra still feels resentful towards the Oracle for causing the destruction of her family, but she agrees to keep it in consideration.
When she meets Elpenor in Phokis, she claims her reward, but quickly finds out that Elpenor is up to no good, and is part of an organization called the Cult of Kosmos. He disappears, but she is able to track him down and kill him.
Kassandra also meets the Oracle of Delphi, and later goes to her private residence to demand more concrete answers about the Cult and what happened to her family. She finds out that the Oracle was actually a puppet for the Cult of Kosmos, and the Cultists have been using her to control the flow of war, and what she says to the public.
Along the way, Barnabas also introduces Kassandra to Herodotos, who serves as an advisor to Perikles, the democratic leader of Attika.
Herodotos is able to give her information about the Cult of Kosmos. Using the cloak and mask she took off Elpenor’s body, Kassandra decides to infiltrate the Cult headquarters and find out what they’re up to. During the meeting, she learns that the Cult has a new leader named Deimos, who rose through the ranks quickly. He’s their most powerful warrior, but the Cult plans to make use of him and hunt down his mother.
Deimos shows up to the meeting soon after, with the news that one of their members (Elpenor) has been killed, and that there’s at traitor among them. With a mysterious pyramid artifact, Deimos is able to see the past of each member to determine who is the traitor. When it’s Kassandra’s turn, she and Deimos interact with the artifact, and she’s able to see Deimos’ past as well.
She then learns that Deimos is actually Alexios, and he had survived Mount Taygetos after all. Deimos looks at her in disbelief, and covers up for her by grabbing another Cultist and claiming that they’re the traitor before killing them viciously.
Kassandra manages to escape unscathed, and she resolves to find Myrinne quickly, as the Cult is hunting her. Herodotos advises her to go to Perikles and warn him of the Cult. Perikles may also be able to provide info on where Myrinne is.
