Take Out Your First Mercenary

At the start of the game, you’ll have a mission to work on. One of the side objectives tasks you with taking out a mercenary before you go for your main target. Once you’ve gotten a few levels on you, you should definitely go for the mercenary first. There are a couple of reasons for this: you’ll activate a new side quest that leads you to the Arena, which is where you can test your mettle against even tougher fighters. Taking out the mercenary will also make the final encounter on Kephallonia a lot easier when you progress through the quest.

And lastly, killing mercenaries in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey is a good way to get some high-level gear quickly. It’s rare to find Legendary items from mercenaries, but purple gear is pretty good too.
