The Lost Arkalochori Axe

The Lost Arkalochori Axe

  • Recommended Level: 26
  • Quest Giver: Priestess
  • Prerequisite: Episode 3 and discover Octopus Bay
  • Unlocks: N/A
  • Location: Heraklion in Octopus Bay, Messara
  • Reward: Rare heavy blade (Arkalochori Axe)—if chosen to keep, low or medium drachmae, medium XP
  • Story: In Heraklion, you are begged by a priestess to retrieve a ceremonial axe to appease Poseidon and a mysterious man known only as Swordfish.

The priestess asks you to find and acquire the Arkalochori Axe from bandits in Arkalochori Cave, east of Heraklion. A few bandits inside must be dealt with. The axe sits on a table in the back room, next to the lone treasure chest. Return to the priestess. The conversation offers a chance to gain information about ”Swordfish,” which can be valuable in a later quest. You may also choose to keep the axe for yourself.

If you have (or begin) this quest during the Of Minotaurs and Men quest, this becomes a support quest, which leads into the Blood in the Water support quest. Refer to The Gates of Atlantis quests in Between Two Worlds for more information.
