Lately, my partner and I have been bonding at home - and what better way to bond than to play games together. No, we don't have 2 controllers, we just take turns playing or coaching each other.
The game we've been playing is Assassin's Creed Odyssey. I believe the first release was 5 years ago so actually we're a bit late to the party. Still, we've been enjoying the game.
We've played the other AC series before too, and it's somewhat similar to this one. There are Naval quests which I hate, as I don't like the controls when using the ship. But there are also many quests on land, which I like to do.
We're almost complete in unveiling the Cult of Kosmos. This cult is a secret organization in the game and killing the members will unlock legendary rewards. There were so many of them, including our main character's brother. Wow, what a spoiler!
There are different leagues, and for every member of the Cult, there's a clue left behind in the Cultist menu of the game. Most Cultists are easy to find, as their clues are straightforward. Some require a bit of thinking. And that's where I come in! Since I like playing detective, it will be my time to play. π
This post will be about hunting the Cultist in the Peloponnesian League. This is the only Cultist left in this league we haven't defeated yet. This Cultist had a confusing clue when you read about him.
The Nation Treasure in Lokris Fort contains a Clue about the Cultist.
That's what the clue says but if you check the map, there's no Lokris Fort.
And I haven't been to all of Lokris yet. Maybe I'll be able to find the fort when I unlock this part of the region.
I haven't unlocked fast travel to Lokris even. So I have to take the way from the neighboring area Boeotia and go all the way to Lokris from there. Maybe I'll be able to find the Lokris Fort when I unlock the Red Lake Bay region.
After a while, I arrived in the Red Lake Bay region, unlocking this place. Now I know why this is called Red Lake Bay.
There's a big lake here that smells looks like blood. It's really noticeable and because I wanted to check how big this lake is, I used the eagle to check.
It seems like my welcoming party was in chaos. I wonder if I should go help them or just ignore them.
In the end, I ignored them. π They're not a part of my mission today.
I went back to the Red Lake because I got so curious about it. Yeah yeah, I haven't forgotten my mission. I just want to take a dip and see what's in these bloody red waters.
The thing with this lake is it attracts a lot of bears. Before going into the water, a bear spotted me so I had to kill it. And now, there's another bear in the distance. Too hard to ignore because I needed the pelts.
After I finished with the bear, I continued my exploration in Lokris. There were many areas I hadn't been to yet, they're still marked as a question mark on my map so I had to visit them all.
Nearby the bear's location, there's this fort named Xerxes Military Fort. The name's not Lokris Fort so I didn't mind it and moved on.
So now, I've unlocked all of the region's areas but still haven't found the Lokris Fort. I remembered there was a Xerxes Military Fort so out of curiosity, I went back to it. Maybe that's the Lokris Fort.
As expected, there were so many enemies in the fort. But I found a way inside through a cave. It's best not to get spotted right away because for sure, I'll be dead within seconds. I'm not good at 1 on 1 battle, sneaking my way in is my forte. When it comes to 1 on 1 battle, I try my best but when I feel I would be defeated, I would give the controller to my partner, who's best at what he does. π
After a while, all the enemies in the fort had been defeated and I could freely roam around. I found a Nation Treasure in this fort and it contained a clue to the Cultist.
So the Lokris Fort in the clue was Xerxes Military Fort all along. Good thing I tried my luck checking out this fort.
After unveiling the Cultist and marking its location, we're now on the way to hunting him down.
Our Cultist is Skylaks the Fair. He's unarmed and was just sitting alone on his worn-out camp. I tried to make friends with him but it seems he didn't want to talk to me.
Sorry, good looking pal, I had to assassinate you for being a Cultist. After defeating him, so many notifications appeared. I got a legendary Spartan War Hero Armor from him. I apparently also completed a contract. Nice!
We've now completed the Peloponnesian League. Now unto the other leagues~
As of now, we've defeated a bunch of them. Soon the Ghost of Kosmos, the head of the Cult, will be revealed. We'll be continuing our hunt to defeat them all so youβll probably read more from me about this game (hopefully!). π
Thanks for reading!
See you around! γγγγγΎγγοΌ
