Assassin’s Creed Odyssey Story Summary
Onwards to Attika and Beyond
In Attika, Perikles no longer has the overwhelming support of the people. His rival, Kleon, is able to rally the masses and convince them that they need to take decisive action against the Spartans. After gaining Perikles’ trust, Kassandra is able to attend his symposium, and hopefully find out more about her mother from the people there.
At the symposium, she also meets Phoibe, who had snuck onboard a ship out of Kephallonia to Attika. She came into the employ of Aspasia, Perikles’ most trusted advisor. Speaking to the people at the symposium, Kassandra gets a few leads on her mother’s whereabouts. She also meets Aspasia, who gives her a few other leads to chase.
While chasing down these leads, Kassandra learns that her mother had fled Sparta after the events of Mount Taygetos, and that she was told that both her children were dead. She also meets a Spartan warrior named Brasidas in Korinth, who promises to work with her again if she ever goes back to Sparta.
After exhausting all possible leads, Kassandra finally learns that Myrinne is in Naxos, where she’s working with the Spartans as leader of the region. Along the way, she also has another run-in with Deimos, who seems to have been brainwashed by the Cult.
Before she can find her mother, though, Kassandra is called back to Attika, where a plague has struck. Perikles falls gravely ill, and Kleon continues to rise to power. She also finds out that Aspasia had sent Phoibe out on a task, but is taking too long to return.
When Kassandra goes to find her, it’s too late, and she sees that Phoibe has been murdered by Cultists. Before leaving to find her mother, Kassandra asks Sokrates and Hippokrates to give Phoibe a proper burial.
Upon reaching Naxos, the two have a tearful reunion, and Kassandra offers to help Myrinne protect Naxos before they can go after the Cult and Deimos. After all that’s done, Myrinne also gives Kassandra a bit more information about her real father, and tells her to go to Thera for more answers. When she’s ready, Myrinne tells Kassandra to meet her in Sparta, where they’ll continue to hunt down the Cult.
At Thera, Kassandra finds a large mysterious door that leads her to the entrance of the underground city, Atlantis. There, she finds Pythagoras, who has been kept alive so many years by the Staff of Hermes Trismegistus.
Pythagoras tells her that those of their bloodline are destined to seal Atlantis and protect it from the Cult. He then tasks her with retrieving four artifacts from around the world in order to seal it.
