Assassin's Creed Odyssey Guide › Odyssey Main Quests › Prologue

How To Use This Guide

When playing the main quests, you enter regions with gradually increasing, suggested playing levels. That’s how this guide is organized. The intended path of the main quests is followed in this chapter toward the main goal of reaching a preferred ending to the game where you unlock the most achievements. However, we encourage you to immerse yourself in the game and choose your own path. At the end of the main quests the guide shows how to achieve the many alternate endings of the game. The side quests and activities that are encountered along the way are all covered in their own sections of the book.

While it is possible to reach the end of the main quests playing only the minimum required side quests, this is discouraged. It’s best to clear each region of all the quests, side quests, and activities. Without the experience, weapons, and shields found during these side quests, the main quest becomes very difficult, as you would take on high-level challenges at a very low level and you would be ill equipped.

Character Choice

Next you must choose between DNA strands. You can play as either Alexios or Kassandra. Choose your preferred character but know the story and relationship options will be equally accessible as you progress through the main story. In this guide, we have chosen to use Alexios and Kassandra interchangeably in all gameplay images.

Dialogue Options

For the first time in the Assassin’s Creed® series your choice in dialogue will shape the world around you. With multiple game endings and many dialogue choices, you’ll experience a dynamic world that constantly evolves and reacts to your every decision. Although dialogue decisions may have consequences down the line, the main and side quest chapters of this guide help you understand when major decisions will need to be made. The following information will help you better understand how to use this guide:

Minor Effect

When a conversation is highlighted in this color, the option you choose won’t have an impact on the outcome of the quest. The conversation choices will impact how a character will react to you within the conversation but will not impact any quest outcomes.

Major Impact

When a conversation is highlighted in this color, the dialogue option you choose will impact how the quest may end. You need to carefully weigh your options as your choices could impact a future conversation or this particular quest’s resolution.

Game Ending

When a conversation is highlighted in this color, it will signal a dialogue option that is critical to the game’s ending.

Romance Options

When you see this sign be aware a possible relationship opportunity is available. There will be many different opportunities for romance throughout your journey. See the Side Quests chapter for more information.
