Assassins Creed Odyssey Gods Of The Aegean Sea Quest Details
In Assassin's Creed Odyssey, tracking down the Cult of Kosmos takes players across land and sea, but few branches are as distinct as the Gods of the Aegean Sea. This specific group consists entirely of naval captains, requiring players to command the Adrestia and engage in fierce open-water battles to eliminate their targets. Understanding how to uncover each member's identity and location is key to dismantling their influence and acquiring valuable legendary gear.
Unlocking the Gods of the Aegean Sea Branch
To begin hunting this naval cultist branch, players must first complete the main story mission known as The Serpent's Lair. Finishing this quest reveals the cultists menu and unlocks initial clues needed to track down early targets. The first cultist available in this line is Asterion, who roams the waters between Skyros and Andros.
Defeating initial cultists drops specific letters and clues required to locate the next targets in the chain. Unlike terrestrial cultists, naval targets are defeated by ramming, cleaving, or boarding their warships during open-sea engagements.
Locating and Defeating Naval Cultists
Hunting members like Sokos, The Octopus, Melanthos, and The Mytilenian Shark requires following a series of linked clues across the Aegean archipelago. For example, Sokos appears during a Conquest Battle at the Obsidian Islands after players weaken the local nation's strength. Similarly, clues for The Mytilenian Shark lead players to underwater ruins north of Thera before discovering his ship near Samos.
Because every member operates powerful vessels, upgrading the Adrestia's hull, ram, and firepower is essential for survival. Successfully boarding enemy ships not only restores health to your vessel but also grants immediate rewards without needing to manually confirm the kill.
Confronting The Hydra and Claiming Rewards
Once all five sub-cultists of the branch are eliminated, the identity and location of their leader, The Hydra, is automatically revealed. Operating in the far southwestern waters of the map near Kythera, The Hydra commands a formidable flagship flanked by hostile escort vessels.
Taking down the branch leader completes the Gods of the Aegean Sea questline and rewards players with legendary items like the Gorgoneion Xiphos sword. As a whole, defeating this branch grants the full Pirate Set armor, which significantly boosts Assassin ability damage for stealth builds.
