- Story: Demokritos, the “laughing philosopher,” fumbled his way into learning the whereabouts of three theorems. Combined, they’d unlock some great mystery, but first they need to be retrieved.
Talk to Demokritos in northern Patrai in Mount Panachaikos. He wants you to locate and collect three theorems:
Zeno’s Paradox is inside a building up on a western cliff of Alponos in White Crystal Hills, Lokris.
Golden Ratio is in Argos, Argolis, inside Polykleitos’s Workshop, located southeast of the Temple of Poseidon.
The Pythagorean Theorem is found at the Palace of Amphitrite, which is underwater between Thera, Paros, and Anaphi islands. Take the Adrestia to the open waters in between these islands. From the point between Thera and Anaphi islands, head directly north to find this location. Once the ”?” appears, send Ikaros out to find the quest item, treasure chests, and sharks. Kill the sharks and loot the items.
After collecting all three theorems, return to Demokritos. He tests you on the theorems and you must answer at least two correct to succeed at the quest. Answer ”It demonstrates infinite divisibility,” ”It’s… a rectangle,” and ”He discovered how these three lines are related.” This leads directly into Another Kind of Poetry. If you do not answer at least two correctly, you fail and the next quest is unavailable.
