Follow our guide to complete the 'Chasing Phantoms' side quest in Assassin's Creed Odyssey. Uncover stele text, navigate the Tomb of Orion, and face crazed worshippers.

Alright, so you've just finished up 'Language of the Ancients,' and now it's time to track down another bit of that stele text. This next quest, 'Chasing Phantoms,' is going to take you to the Tomb of Orion. You'll find it southeast of Thebes.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    When you first step into the Tomb of Orion, a little cutscene will play. A guy will pop up to warn you about his buddies who've gone a bit mad after messing with some artifact. Sadly, he won't make it, but once he's gone, the tomb is yours to explore. Grab whatever loot you can find as you go.
  2. 2
    As you make your way through the tomb, keep an eye out for snakes. Your torch is actually super effective here – one hit should take them out. Also, watch your step for spike traps that pop out of the ground. If you trigger one, just dodge roll out of the way to avoid taking damage.
  3. 3
    Head east inside the tomb until you find a room with a stele statue. Interact with it to snag an ability point and some XP. After that, turn west and check out the treasure chests in the room across from the stele.
  4. 4
    Next, head north until you find another room with a treasure chest right in the middle. Loot it up, and then you'll need to move some storage containers to find your exit from the tomb.
  5. 5
    Once you're outside, make your way southeast. You're looking for a hill in the Oropos Heights where some crazed worshippers are hanging out. Use Ikaros to get a precise lock on their location in the Cave of Madness as you get close.
  6. 6
    Time to go in! Equip your torch and head into the Cave of Madness. There's no talking your way out of this one, so you'll have to kill all the crazed worshippers immediately. Use the element of surprise with an assassination on the closest one to the entrance. Once they're all dealt with, you can loot their bodies.
Tips
  • The torch is your best friend for dealing with snakes in the Tomb of Orion.
  • Don't forget to use Ikaros to scout out the worshippers' exact location before you charge into the Cave of Madness.
  • Try to get an assassination off on the first worshipper you see to get the upper hand.
  • Ability Point
  • XP
