What in Hades are Engravings?
Engravings are basically like magical tattoos for your gear. Imagine a blacksmith with a laser pointer and a serious case of ADHD – that's kind of what engraving is. These engravings grant special bonuses, turning your peasant prod into a Perikles-approved pain train, or your bow into a bullseye-finding beauty.
QuickTip: Slow down if the pace feels too fast.
How to Become an Engraving Extraordinaire (Emphasis on Extra)
There are a few ways to snag these glorious glowy bits, and some are more, ahem, "interesting" than others:
QuickTip: If you skimmed, go back for detail.
-
Become a Completionist Compulsive: Love checklists? Then you'll adore unlocking engravings by completing quests, contracts, and those weird little Ostraka challenges (think ancient Greek Mad Libs). Just be prepared to spend more time in menus than on Mount Olympus itself.
-
The Bloodthirsty Route: You know those pesky mercenaries and cultists who keep showing up uninvited? Turns out, turning them into permanent vacationers on the Isle of the Dead unlocks some pretty sweet engravings. Think of it as a twisted form of retail therapy – slay for savings!
-
Become an Archaeological Ace: Scattered throughout Greece are these things called "legendary bracers." Find and equip all four, and you'll unlock a special engraving that makes your gear positively shimmer. Just don't get too distracted by the scenery – those cliffs can be awfully unforgiving.
Pro Tip: Keep an eye out for blacksmiths with a little hammer and chisel icon above their heads. These lovely folks can apply your hard-earned engravings to your favorite weapons and armor.
Tip: Focus on sections most relevant to you.
But Wait, There's More! (The Not-So-Funny Part)
There are a few things to keep in mind with engravings:
Tip: Make mental notes as you go.
- Some are Better Than Others: Not all engravings are created equal. Some offer measly stat boosts, while others turn you into a walking, arrow-dodging, fire-breathing demigod. Choose wisely, grasshopper.
- Engravings Can Be Upgraded: That measly 3% damage boost? Grind enough and it can become a fearsome 15%! Just be prepared to invest some serious time (or drachmae) into the process.
So there you have it, everything you ever wanted to know (and probably some things you didn't) about engravings in Assassin's Creed Odyssey. Now get out there, engrave your way to victory, and remember – a little sparkle never hurt anyone (except maybe your enemies).
