Assassin's Creed Odyssey: A Complete Guide To The Heroes Of The Cult (2024)

The Heroes of the Cult is one of the seven branches within the Cult Of Kosmos. Like all the other branches, the members of the Heroes Of The Cult will be found throughout your long journey in Assassin's Creed: Odyssey. There are a total of six you’ll need to track down and kill, one of which will be the Sage of the branch. Belos, the Beast of Sparta, Okytos the Great, Deianeira, Swordfish, Pallas the Silencer, and Exekias the Legend (Sage).

This guide will let you know how to find the Cultist Clues to unveil each of them. Next, it will show you how to find them, whether it’s the location or through any specific missions. Last, but certainly not least, is the loot they each drop.

Progress through the main mission “The Serpent’s Lair” and you will eventually find the Cultist Clue to unveil Okytos the Great. Once unveiled, you’ll see Okytos is at the Sanctuary of Sounion in Cape Sounion (Attika Region). Luckily, he isn’t in a restricted area, allowing you to easily come up and assassinate.

Just be prepared for him to be surrounded by guards. The loot received is either the waistband of Achilles (Alexios) or Amazon's Tassets (Kassandra).

Belos, The Beast of Sparta

Base Level 29

Progress through the main mission “The Serpent’s Lair” and you will eventually find the Cultist Clue to unveil Belos. You’ll have to find the Arena in Pephka first before starting this. You can get to the Arena by doing the “They Just Want Cruelty” side mission.

As you progress through the Arena, Belos will eventually be one of the Champions you fight. Armor of Achilles (Alexios) or Amazonian Outfit (Kassandra) is the loot here.

Swordfish

Base Level 29

Swordfish is actually a cultist that isn’t unveiled until you kill him and confirm it. Finding Swordfish requires you to do some missions in Messara. Head to Messara and find the “Myths and Minotaurs” side mission. It’s a quick mission and completing it will start the next one, “Of Minotaurs and Men.”

“Of Minotaurs and Men” has three subquests. “Blood in the Water” is the one that you need to do in order to find Swordfish. The thing is, “Blood in the Water” requires you to do some other side missions within that area of Octopus Bay to help the civilians.

Doing these in any order will progress “Blood in the Water” and reveal that Swordfish is in an Underwater Location nearby, Hermit’s Dive. Make your way there and you will come upon him. Speaking to him will end up triggering a fight. After you kill him, confirm the kill and it will reveal he is a cultist. The loot is either Bracers of Achilles (Alexios) or Amazon’s Bracers (Kassandra).

Deianeira

Base Level 34

There are two Cultist Clues you’ll need to find to unveil Deianeira. The first one is actually dropped after killing Okytos the Great, revealing Deianeira is in the Boeotia region. Make your way there to Find and kill the Leader, who can usually be found in Fort of Plataia but may move around Boeotia. Killing the leader will drop the next Cultist Clue, allowing you to unveil Deianeira.

Doing so will show that she is roaming around Boeotia. Simply open up your map and find Deianeira around within the region. She can be found in any spot of the region but your best bet to make sure they are walking alone and not in a restricted area. Another way you’ll eventually find Deianeira is finishing the main mission “The Fall of Deianeira.” You can do either of these two options. The loot here is going to be Greaves of Achilles (Alexios) or Amazon's Greaves (Kassandra).

Pallas The Silencer

Base Level 45

Travel to Korinth in the Korinthia Region. Find the Blacksmith in that area and buy the Tattered Spartan Flag. This will be a Cultist Clue, allowing you to unveil Pallas the Silencer.

You’ll need to lower the Nation Power of Achaia, which should be held by Sparta the first time you do it. Once a Conquest Battle is available, make sure you choose to fight for Athens. During the battle, Pallas will eventually make himself known, allowing you to engage and kill him. Helm Of Achilles (Alexios) or Amazonian's Circlet (Kassandra) is the loot.

Exekias The Legend (Sage)

Base Level 50

Like all Sages in the Cult of Kosmos, you unveil them by killing all other members in their branch. Killing every Cultist within Heroes of the Cult will let you unveil Exekias the Legend.

Unveiling Exekias reveals that not only is he the Sage, but he’s also a Mercenary, a Rank 1 at that. Therefore, make sure you’re fully prepared to take him down. Like all Mercenaries, you can track him within the Mercenary menu. Exekias tends to move all around Greece. Typhon's Mace is the loot.
