However, she also had a soft spot for her friends and family, and there was nothing she wouldn’t do to see her family reunited once more. This eventually leads to Alexios killing his own mother (even more bonus points for matricide), and Kassandra having to put him down herself (more family murders).Alexios, or Deimos, is also a very key player here. Navigate back to the Assassin's Creed Odyssey has three main storylines and nine different endings: good, neutral, and bad.
However, it’s in the game’s ending itself where Ubisoft actually excels.One of the most interesting things about Assassin’s Creed Odyssey is the way it incorporates some classic Greek stories into its main and side quests.For instance, we’re all familiar with good ol’ Oedipus. Assassin’s Creed Odyssey is a very fun video game to play, but it’s also an emotional rollercoaster that’s utterly relentless if you make the right choices.
With that in mind, I resolved to save Alexios, and I didn’t hesitate when Myrinne made me promise to bring him back home safely.As the story progresses, you’ll reach key points where you have to choose the appropriate dialogue options if you want to save Alexios in the end. So if you picked Kassandra, Alexios would take on the role of Deimos, the most fearsome warrior in the Cult of Kosmos.
Odyssey riffs off that myth in a hilarious side quest where a man named Supideo hears about a similar prophecy in which he causes the death of his parents. As well-done as the RPG elements were in this game, it’s far too easy for players to get an ending that just isn’t as satisfying or on the same level as the Greek Tragedy one they’ve crafted here.By the end of my first playthrough, I was exhausted.
His deliberate act of making the player think that he’s had a change of heart is genius; it makes the ending that much tougher to swallow because it’s the player’s naivete that led Myrinne to her tragic death.Odyssey starts you off with a great framework for a Greek Tragedy, and that’s why the game’s best ending feels off and inappropriate. Massive spoilers for the game's ending are linked here! Alexios himself could’ve very well grown up to be a respectable adult, but ends up being corrupted by the Cult. I did the best I could and picked the options that I thought would convince Alexios that the Cult was using him.Everything comes to a head when you reach the final quest on Mount Taygetos, the very place where Kassandra and Alexios were tossed off the cliff as kids. Unbeknownst to him, however, Kassandra ends up sleeping with the blacksmith (who is his dad) for the swor, and kills a bandit leader (who is his mom) for the shield. However, the game also manages to use these Greek elements in heavier and darker ways in the story as well. That’s a mark of good storytelling. Given the lack of enthusiasm for this element, Ubisoft has hidden this away as an ending … But because Alexios doesn’t have the chance to deceive Kassandra and Myrinne, Myrinne ends up living in this ending. Needless to say, Kassandra eventually manages to strike him down. And yet, her words don’t quite carry the same weight as in the ending where she dies.And in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey’s ‘best’ ending, Kassandra succeeds in convincing Alexios to come home, and they have a big, happy family reunion in Sparta.

In a final breathtaking shot of Mount Taygetos, we see Kassandra fall to her knees in tears, covered in blood and surrounded by the dead bodies of her only remaining family.Now, the interesting thing about the game’s ending is that Myrinne’s last words here are exactly the same as if you had chosen to kill Alexios instead of trying to convince him again on Mount Taygetos. Again, I did my best to convince him and, well, here’s the ending I got.In a heart-wrenching moment, Alexios fakes us out and stabs Myrinne mercilessly before crossing swords with Kassandra. The Between Two Worlds Assassin's Creed Odyssey ending is fuel for the modern day storyline. Y’know, the guy who killed his dad and married his mom? In order to thwart that, he gets Kassandra to retrieve his sword and shield and put them away. Assassin's Creed Odyssey has three main storylines and nine different endings: good, neutral, and bad. With her dying breath, Myrinne tells Kassandra to always move forward. Assassin’s Creed Odyssey is a very fun video game to play, but it’s also an emotional rollercoaster that’s utterly relentless if you make the right choices.
