Master 'The Final Push' in Assassin's Creed Odyssey! Learn how to defeat Athenian captains and mercenaries to win the battle and complete the quest.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    You'll be thrown right into the thick of the battle. Your main task is to defend yourself against the regular Athenian soldiers, but always prioritize attacking any Athenian Captains you see. The main goal here is to deplete the Athenian faction bar at the top of your screen. Remember, there are separate bars for Athens and Sparta. To make sure the Athenian bar goes down first, you need to eliminate as many captains as possible, as fast as you can.
  2. 2
    When you're fighting captains, don't forget to use your heavy attacks to break through their defenses. Once their guard is down, switch to light attacks or use your special abilities (skills) to deal significant damage.
  3. 3
    You might also run into an Athenian mercenary during this fight. While they might have different names, each mercenary has unique skills that can catch you off guard. Always keep an eye on your surroundings and watch out for the tell-tale signs that they're about to use a special attack. When you see one coming, your best bet is to dodge or block it, then immediately counter with your own attacks.
  4. 4
    Keep focusing your attacks on those Athenian captains. Each one you defeat will contribute more to weakening their army than taking down a bunch of regular soldiers.
  5. 5
    Once the Athenian strength bar is completely depleted, the battle will conclude. After a short cutscene with Stentor, the quest will be marked as complete.
Tips
  • Prioritize killing Athenian Captains – they have the biggest impact on the faction bar.
  • Use heavy attacks to break captain defenses before unleashing light or special attacks.
  • Stay vigilant for mercenary special attacks and be ready to dodge or block.
  • Maintain awareness of your surroundings to avoid being overwhelmed by regular soldiers while focusing on captains and mercenaries.
