In Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, Legendary gear is the top tier, offering powerful Engraving and set bonuses. As the best items in the game, you’ll want to gather as much Legendary equipment as possible. Here’s how to get legendary equipment in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey.

Oikos and His Rarity Shop

Early in the main story, you’ll visit Pilgrim’s Landing in Phokis, where you’ll meet Oikos of the Olympians. Oikos sells only Epic or higher quality items, but he only accepts Orichalcum Ore. Orichalcum Ore is unique—it’s earned through activities like daily and weekly bounties or found as fragments around the world. Oikos offers a guaranteed Legendary item each week, so check his shop regularly for new gear.

Defeating Cultists

Taking out Cultists is one of the quickest and best ways to earn Legendary items. As you progress in the story, you’ll unlock Cultists—high-ranking enemies scattered across the world. Defeating each of the 44 Cultists rewards you with a Legendary item. Each Cultist faction also offers gear tailored to different builds, so target the branch that aligns with your playstyle for the best results.

Other side quests, such as They Just Want Cruelty (Arena battles), also offer Legendary loot. Keep an eye out for side quests that yield valuable gear.

Defeating Mercenaries

Though not every mercenary will drop Legendary loot, some will. If you’re a fan of chaos, committing crimes around Greece raises your bounty, attracting mercenaries to hunt you down. Defeating these mercenaries can reward you with Legendary items, so don’t hesitate to break a few laws to earn some high-tier gear.
