Unmasking the Cult of Kosmos in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey: Your Guide to Hunting Down Every Member
So, you need to take down the Cult of Kosmos in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey? Don’t worry. You’re not alone in this chase across Ancient Greece. These shadowy figures are sneaky. With the right intel, you’ll send them to the afterlife quickly. Let’s jump into how to unmask them.
Unmasking The Master: Attika’s Quarry Cultist
First up is “The Master,” who operates near Athens. The first clue points toward a quarry. There are hints of slave operations. Clever misdirection. However, you won’t find him searching rocks. To find “The Master,” you must mingle with locals, which can be quite stabby.
The Quest Chain to Unmasking “The Master”:
- Step 1: Fort Phyle Intel. Begin at Fort Phyle in Attika. This fort is crucial for revealing “The Master.” It’s your starting breadcrumb.
- Step 2: Athenian Social Hour (Quest Edition). To get to “The Master,” play Athenian socialite. Start with “Citizenship Test.” Meet Sokrates and Alkibiades near the Temple of Hephaistos. They lead to the cultist hunt.
- Step 3: Follow the Socratic Method (and Quests). Keep on the questline. Do “Witness Him,” then “Free Speech” (by the Akropolis), and “On a High Horse” at Port Piraeus. Consider it your Athenian quest crawl.
- Step 4: “A Life’s Worth” – The Revelation. After finishing those quests, “A Life’s Worth” appears near the Attika Silver Mine. Ignore the quarry clue. The mine is where the action starts.
- Step 5: Face “The Master.” “A Life’s Worth” is the moment you meet “The Master.” Unmask their identity and eliminate them from the Cult’s roster. Choice is yours: talk or fight.
Alternative Route to Revelation:
If patience isn’t your strength, confronting the Fort Polemarch directly or completing “Free Speech” can also reveal “The Master.” Political debate or brute force? Your call.
Spotting Other Shady Cultists: A Quick Guide
The Cult of Kosmos is vast. “The Master” is just one cog in their machine. Here’s a rundown of other cultists and their locations for your hunting pleasure.
- Zoisme: The Wolf Woman of Phokis. Hiding in a wolf den in Phokis. Once found, Zoisme is at the Wild Bear cave in Malis region. She loves dangerous animal dens.
- Pausanias: The Kingslayer. Even royalty gets corrupted. Pausanias, the younger Spartan king, shows himself during “A Bloody Feast.” Dinner and betrayal.
- Diona: The Two-Faced Twin. In “By the Fates,” you’ll see twins. Trust your gut. The twin on the right is the cultist. Choose wisely!
- Belos the Beast of Sparta: Arena Animal. Want some arena combat? Belos resides in Pephka Arena at Pirate Point. Test your skill against this beastly cultist.
- Aspasia: The Ghost in the Athenian Machine. Aspasia is the big boss, the “Ghost of Kosmos.” She’s a prominent figure in Athenian politics.
- The Silver Griffin: Island Hopper. Find a clue in a chest inside Lavrio Silver Mine in southern Attika to reveal this cultist. After revealing, “The Silver Griffin” hides on Prasonisia island. Kill “The Chimera” first to access.
- Machaon the Feared: Achaian Nightmare. Machaon’s location is simple. Your hunting ground is northwest Achaia. Map marker included for your chase.
- Elpenor: The Starter Cultist. Elpenor is your first cultist in Eye of Kosmos branch. Think of him as your tutorial boss.
- Chrysis: Baby Saver (or Not). In “Ashes to Ashes,” if you saved the baby, a quest called “Death Comes to Us All” shows in Argos. It gives you another chance to deal with Chrysis.
Key Locations in Your Cultist Hunt
You need to navigate Ancient Greece efficiently for your hunt. Here are key locations to help with your quest.
- Attika Silver Mine (Lavrio Silver Mine): Located in southern Attika. Rich in silver and clues, especially for revealing “The Silver Griffin.” Heavily guarded in historical times, little has changed.
- Fort Phyle: In the Parnes Mountains region of Attika. Your start for unraveling “The Master.” Think of it as Cultist HQ initiation point.
- Pephka Arena: Located in Pirate Point region of Pephka. It’s home turf of Belos the Beast of Sparta. Gladiatorial combat awaits!
- Shipwreck Cove: Found on Northern Scavenger’s Coast in Achaia. It might not relate directly to cultists, but treasures or dangers await!
- Cave of Pan: Located in Marathon Beach region of Attika. Historically natural, in-game… explore to find its secrets!
Cult of Kosmos and General Tidbits
Understanding your enemy helps you win battles. The Cult of Kosmos seeks control through order and chaos. Deep stuff, huh?
- Cult of Kosmos: They’re not just thugs; they’re a powerful group aiming for world domination. Quite ambitious!
- Drachmae & Orichalcum: Currency of Champions. Fund your cultist-hunting spree. Earn Drachmae from quests and activities. Get Orichalcum from side quests, treasure, bandit camps, or specific merchants.
- Silver Mountain: Southeastern Attika is historically rich for its silver. In-game, worth exploring for resources and maybe more!
- Phoibe & Tempest (Phila): Unavoidable Fates. Some tragedies are scripted. Phoibe’s death? Inevitable. The Tempest (Phila)’s demise? Also unavoidable, regardless of choices made.
- Alexios & Kassandra: Family Matters. Plot twist! Alexios’s real father? Pythagoras, not Nikolaos. Family drama even here! Stentor’s allegiance to the Cult is murky too!
Your comprehensive, slightly sarcastic guide to hunting down the Cult of Kosmos awaits you now! Go forth, mercenary, cleanse Greece of these shadowy figures, and try not to get stabbed too much! Good hunting!
