With the vast number of romance options available in Ubisoft’s action RPG Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, here’s where to find and unlock every NPC romance.
When it was first revealed that Assassin’s Creed Odyssey would be doubling down on the RPG elements first introduced in Origins, many were likely excited. The prospect of this feature was likely most exciting when it was revealed that Ubisoft’s action RPG would contain romance options.
Now that the Assassin’s Creed Odyssey is available to play, gamers are likely experiencing these romance options for the first time. However, those expecting serious depth such as what is experienced in BioWare games could be disappointed, as there are no major romance quest lines that define the story. For the most part, these romances have no serious impact on the game such as one romance with an old woman whose husband cannot match her vigor, whereas others include goats and group sex.
For those embracing this “when in Greece” style of romance, it’s certainly an interesting addition to the game. The best general advice that can be given when pursuing a romance is to flirt as much as possible, and it’s worth mentioning that no character is locked due to gender.
First, shortly after arriving at the Perikles Residence, players will need to find Aristophanes and agree to find his missing actress. Once she is found, flirt with her, but players will need to find and kill the cultist Rhexenor first. Afterward, players will find themselves in Aikaterine’s arms.
Requirements: Must be flirted with in Oil and Love for romance to proceed in the related quests.
Alkibiades is first met during a half-naked group party (goat optional) in the Perikles residence in Greater Athens. Flirt here where a small romance begins that can be continued later in the Handle with Care and Rock Hard quests.
In this quest, flirt with Auxesia when accepting it. Complete the quest which requires players to find a bear scrotum and deer tongue, then choose the dialogue option that spares the husband. This will result in the player spending the night with Auxesia.

This romantic questline may be the longest of the game, as players can pick it up around level 13 but not finish until around level 45. When players first meet Daphnae, she will ask them to hunt down the Kalydonian Boar, and once that is completed, several hunt quests appear. Completing each will give players a chance to flirt with Daphnae, and when this happens, seize it. This will eventually lead to a small romance scene.
This long questline will also end in a reward worthy of Artemis. However, the romance ends in an unfortunate way, regardless of choice.

In this quest, players will choose between Kyra and Thaletas, and it is important to note siding with Kyra locks out the ability to romance Thaletas. Choosing Thaletas and completing the Thaletas Way quest will keep both open as potential romance partners.
Afterward, simply complete the aforementioned quests, and Goddess of the Hunt will result in the conclusion of the romance.
