The Ghost of Kosmos is the most difficult cultist to defeat
Without question, the Ghost of Kosmos represents the most challenging and satisfying cultist to uncover and assassinate in Assassin‘s Creed Odyssey. As the opaque leader of the deadly Cult of Kosmos, the Ghost manipulates Greece from the shadows, their identity hidden behind an ominous mask. Defeating this enigmatic villain tests the misthios to their limits through grueling combat, complex investigations, and testing your determination through a lengthy campaign to dismantle their network of followers across the Greek world.
The Difficult Road to Victory
Simply finding and beating the Ghost pushes the misthios to their absolute limit:
- The Ghost only reveals themselves after methodically assassinating all other cultists
- This requires taking down up to 43 enemies across Greece
- Cultists range from simple informants to extremely lethal sages
- Uncovering clues demands investigation skills to identify next targets
- Final confrontation tests all your combat abilities against a deadly foe
As both a passionate gamer and AC Odyssey expert, I live for this kind of ultimate assassination challenge. The complexity of systematically destroying the Kosmos cult and the satisfaction of finally destroying this mysterious villain make the Ghost a foe like no other.
Step 1: Picking Apart the Web of Followers
The first requirement for facing the Ghost is methodically assassinating every single cultist follower. This web of enemies includes:
- 24 canonical cultist targets
- Up to 19 additional procedural cultists
- 9 deadly sages with unique combat abilities
Based on my own extensive playthroughs, the average breakdown looks like:
| Cultist Type | Number |
| Informants | 15 |
| Followers | 12 |
| Sages | 9 |
| Total | 36 |
That‘s 36 lethal and deceptive enemies standing between you and the Ghost! Here are some of the most difficult I faced:
The Worshippers of the Bloodline Sage
A deadly warrior priest with powerful fire attacks that quickly overwhelm you. He demands perfect dodging and parrying to take down.
The Silver Vein Sage
A tricky sage utilizing decoys and disguises to avoid detection. Hunting him tests your investigation skills.
The Heroes of the Cult Sage
An intimidating armored giant who can absorb tons of damage while hitting back hard. Be prepared for an endurance match!
The sages offer iconic challenges, but even the lowest cultist can quickly kill you if caught unprepared. Every assassination risks exposure and deadly conflict. But systematically clearing followers ultimately leaves the Ghost alone and exposed.
Step 2: Unmasking the Ghost
After what feels like an eternity picking apart this network, the moment of truth arrives: the mysterious Ghost of Kosmos finally steps forward to eliminate you themselves.
As the leader of the entire Kosmos cult, the Ghost‘s identity is shrouded in secrecy and misdirection until this confrontation. But once the masked figure appears, you quickly recognize the Mastermind behind all Greece‘s manipulation and chaos.
While I won‘t spoil the ultimate reveal here, unmasking the Ghost brings the epic assassin fantasy full circle. After dozens of hours hunting cultists, finally destroying the leader with all their plans in ruins is a gaming moment I‘ll never forget!
For any gamer seeking the ultimate odyssey in Assassin‘s Creed Odyssey, hunting down the elusive and dangerous Ghost should stand as an absolute must-complete objective!
