Assassin’s Creed Odyssey – Another Kind of Poetry Quest Guide

“Another Kind of Poetry” is a follow-up quest to The Secrets of Greece, a mission available with the Assassin’s Creed Odyssey Season Pass. This Another Kind of Poetry guide will help you navigate the quest. After helping Demokritos gather three theorems, this mission continues his story—but be warned, it has a recommended level of 42, so be prepared for a tough fight.

This guide will walk you through each step of the mission, including how to find Demokritos, deal with enemies, and make your final choice.

How to Start the Another Kind of Poetry Quest

Find Demokritos in Patrai (Achaia Region)

• Travel to Patrai, located in the Achaia region.
• Demokritos is near the northern docks of the city.
• Speak with him to begin the quest.

Mission Walkthrough

Follow Demokritos

After starting the quest, follow Demokritos as he leads you to the house of a woman he admires.

• Once you arrive, you will be ambushed by a group of level 42 enemies.
• Defeat them to proceed.

Combat Tips:

• Use crowd control abilities such as Ring of Chaos to stagger multiple enemies.
• Focus on eliminating weaker enemies first to reduce their numbers.
• Watch out for archers, as they can deal heavy damage from a distance.
• Fire or poison weapons are effective for dealing damage over time.

Once the battle is over, speak with Demokritos. The woman he admired has been killed, leaving him devastated.

Choose Your Response

At this point, you will have two dialogue options:

1. “Read her your poem.”
   • Demokritos refuses, saying it is too late to confess his feelings.
   • He rewards you and asks you to leave him alone.
2. “We should go.”
   • You suggest leaving, but Demokritos chooses to stay behind.
   • The outcome is the same, and you receive your reward.

Quest Rewards

• Inventor’s Helmet (Rare Headgear)
• Experience Points (XP)
• Drachmae (In-game currency)

This mission is short, but it provides a useful piece of gear and a solid amount of XP.

The quest concludes Demokritos’ storyline with a tragic outcome. Due to the high-level enemies, it is best to complete this mission at level 42 or higher. Alternatively, you can use stealth tactics to gain an advantage in the fight.
