Assassin’s Creed Odyssey Side Quests
Kephallonia Islands Side Quests
Hungry Gods
This quest is begun at the Coast of Koliadai. Your first objective of this quest is to investigate the Drogarati Cave.
The quest giver is right outside of this cave so once you have received this quest; there is not a long way for you to go in order to get to the objective marker. Go inside the cave and then head to the large room which has an altar along with a bronze statue.
There are a total of 2 different clues for you to find in this room. The first one can be found on the left side of the statue’s foot.
The other one can be found if you look behind the statue and investigate the crack on the wall. Once you notice the crack, you can slip through it and proceed deeper into the cave.
You will find some enemies here which are not that difficult to beat, so you should be able to clear them all without facing any major difficulties.
However, it is still best if you do not try to make noise and have all of their attention focused on you. Try to use the stealthier method of carefully walking up to them one by one and then assassinating them.
Once you have killed all of the bandits in the area, make sure that you loot all of them as they have the treasure that you require.
Once you have all of the treasure that you need, you can start moving back to the beginning of the cave. Get to the worshipper at the start of the cave and talk to him in order to complete this quest.

Your goal would be to get rid of any enemy soldiers in the area and safely escort Odessa back to her boat beyond the ruins in the western coast. You can have her as an Adrestia crewmember and ‘A Family Ordeal’ mission unlocks.
You may also be rewarded XP and Drachmae depending on how well you performed this sub-quest.
A Ship Came Sailing
In southern Kleptous Bay, Pronnoi Peninsula, you will find an Athenian, Davos. Speaking to him you, you get an idea of what you are going to be doing. Nearby, a military camp has two leaders and multiple enemies.
There, in the docks region is a cave holding Davos’ brother, Orneos. First, clear out the soldiers to safely support Oneos in getting back to Davos for the reward of Drachmae and XP along with what you might have looted from the chests in the area.
Shark the Vagrant
After speaking with Markos at Markos’ Vineyard, talk with the two vegetable merchants in Central Cursed Valley of Pali. The task is a dangerous one because it involves sharks.
Dive into the water in the Ancient Ruins of Kranioi and there you will find a temple south of Islet of Zeus. Kill the shark and grab the Prokris’ necklace from the chest. Hand it back to the merchants to earn XP and Drachmae as rewards.
Merciful Gods
After completing the above quest, speak with the worshiper again and head to Sami in Coast of Koliadai to investigate a woman’s house and interact with the baskets. You earn medium XP as the reward.
In The Footsteps of Gods

Keep continuing south in the cave and get rid of the soldiers to find the spear in a chest. Handing it back to the priestess, you get the spear itself and with it some XP and Drachmae.
A Ship Came Sailing
You can find this quest at the Kephallonia Islands. When you meet Davos, you are overlooking the Kleptous bay where your target is. Call Ikaros and narrow your search.
Either move past the enemies using arrows or assassinations depending on what you think will be best for the situation. Once you are near Orneos, free him from his cage.
Now, you need to escort Orneos to safety. Remember that he will start running as soon as he is freed so you need to make sure that you have defeated the enemies that lie on his path or he will die.
Once you have freed Orneos and escorted him back, talk to Davos to end the quest.
The Fight with Talos
If you have successfully saved Phoibe from all the perils in ‘Debt Collector’ main quest, you will soon come across a deadly and menacing mercenary, Talos the Stone-Fist.
You cannot pay off this bounty, so you will need to face him head-on; he carries gear of level 5. You earn XP and access to the Arena via the ‘They Just Want Cruelty’ quest.
Lumbering Along
This is another quest that can be started at the Coast of Koliadai. Talk to Drucilla in Sami and this quest will then begin.
It is best if you do this quest after you have finished; Debt Collector’ as you will already be very close to the starting location of this quest. Follow the waypoint until you are at the ambush site.
Here, you need to find 3 different clues. There are footprints on the road southwest of the cart, the body beside the tree to the west side of the cart, and the cart itself.
At this point, you need to kill the bandits. They are quite close to your location so go ahead and tag all of them before taking them out using the method of your choice.
Once they have been killed, follow the waypoint to the tent that houses a chest and open it to get the quest item that is required. Once you have that, simply make your way back to Drucilla to complete this quest.

This quest becomes available to you during the Eye for an Eye quest. You will be told of a fallen village of Kausos. Follow the quest markers to get to the village, and there you face the option to kill the villagers or to let them go.
If you spare the villagers, you will need to kill the priest and his guards.
After that, you will have the option to take their money which will leave them in the area to die or to not take their money. Whichever one you choose, these people will get to Kephallonia and it will be ravaged with the plague.
If you decide to kill these people, then all of the innocent family including the kids will die. However, it does seem to stop the plague.
Whether the plague will come to Kephallonia through some other means is yet to be seen but if you want to be on the safe side and have the heart to do it, then killing the villagers is probably the safest option.
Mercenary Work
Upon reaching Sami in Coast of Koliadai, read the message board and you will notice a request from Illos for two wolf furs.
You can find a pack of wolves to the west in the Mount Ainos area, hunt them down and loot the corpses to get two furs in total. Hand them back to Illos to complete the quest for Drachmae and a little XP.

After getting around the soldiers and freeing the wolves, return to Zoe to receive Bow of the Stalker, XP, and Drachmae.
A Chest full of Drachmae

Trouble in Paradise
From the Adrestia message board, you are prompted to help the rebels of Mykonos Island.
Upon exiting up on the west shore, speak with Barnabas and then proceed to the two rebel camps, one in Porphyria Cave and the other in northeast Artemis Hills leading to a Spartan camp.
You can choose to go with or without Kira to the Spartan camp on your way through the Porphyria Cave, depending on whether you speak to her or not. Either way, you fight the Athenians in the Spartan camp.
Then you make a choice to agree with either Kira or the Spartan leader, Thaletas. Completion of quest results in a reward of Drachmae and XP and unlocks more quests down the line.
A Night to Remember
After completing all of the above quests on Mykonos Island, say your final goodbyes to the citizens of Delos.
First speak with Barnabas following the quest marker in Tavern Point, then proceed to converse with Kira. If you tell her to ‘find a new purpose’ or ‘forget the gods’, these are the only choices that let her forget the suicidal thoughts, otherwise, things do not go so well for her.
Conversing with Thaletas depends on your relationship with Kira. If it was swelling, then Thaletas has more reasons to hate you and will try to attack and you will need to kill him.
Joining the celebration, Barnabas offers you three choices to either give a speech, depart the island or spend a little more time with the people. After you have given the speech eventually, you will leave the island and will have completed the quest.
Grin and Bear it

Dead or Alive
From the message boards of Astypalia City, highlands of Asklepiades in Kos Island, take up the contract to hunt down the Con of Kos in Artemis Fort.
Upon finding out the identity of him being Markos, the above quest ‘A Business Opportunity’ takes over this one. You still receive some XP though.

At the first mirror, hit the barricade blocking it. After that, hit the first door blocking the path and slide down the zipline. Move the 3 wooden racks to the opposite side in order to have the light reflect of this mirror as well.
