Assassin’s Creed Odyssey Side Quest – The Lost Arkalochori Axe (Messara) | AC Odyssey

Join Kassandra/Alexios in this Messara side quest to recover a sacred ceremonial axe stolen from the temple. With stealth and investigation by the coast, this mission blends ritual stakes with moral choice—perfectly suited for the region’s hidden layers.

🌿 Quest Flow & Highlights
Quest Giver: Speak with the priestess at the Temple of Poseidon in Octopus Bay, Heraklion. She needs the Arkalochori Axe back to appease Poseidon and stop raging storms impacting local fishermen.
Path to the Axe: Follow the coastline east to Arkalochori Cave. Use Ikaros to tag and isolate the bandits. The axe rests at the back of the cave next to a treasure chest—defeat or bypass the guards to retrieve it.
Return or Keep: Head back to the priestess. You may return the axe for higher drachmae or keep it for yourself, gaining the rare axe but fewer coins. Your choice affects your loot—and possibly hints at local cult activity (Swordfish references).

🎁 Rewards & Outcomes
Keep the Axe: Medium XP, low drachmae, and the Arkalochori Axe (rare heavy weapon).
Return the Axe: Medium XP, high drachmae payout—signature ritual restored.
