Forget Bezos: Crafting Your Own Fire Arrows
There's a certain satisfaction in creating your own fiery death sticks, and that's exactly what you can do in AC Odyssey. But before you go full-on blacksmith, there are a few things you'll need to gather:
Tip: Focus more on ideas, less on words.![]()
- Three Olive Wood - Yes, you read that right. Apparently, setting things on fire requires a healthy dose of the Mediterranean. Don't worry, these aren't the apocalypse-inducing killer olive trees, just the regular kind.
- Three Iron Metal - Because, you know, fire needs some muscle behind it. Safety first and all, but mostly just muscle.
Once you've procured your fire-starting supplies, follow these simple steps:
Tip: Highlight sentences that answer your questions.![]()
- Open your inventory. Pretty straightforward, right?
- Locate the little quiver icon. This is your crafting station for all things arrow-related.
- Behold! The power of fire is at your fingertips (well, not literally). You should see the option to craft fire arrows. Select it, and voila! You're now the Daniel to your enemies' cooler water.
Now, a word to the wise: Crafting arrows takes time, and battles in AC Odyssey can be pretty hectic. So, this method might not be the best for those intense, "oh-crap-I'm-about-to-be-mauled-by-a-bear" moments.

The Impatient Way: Lighting It Up on the Fly
For those who prefer a more "in-the-heat-of-the-moment" approach to setting things ablaze, there's a simpler solution: find a fire source. A burning brazier, a conveniently placed torch – anything that'll give you a nice, steady flame will work. Here's how it goes down:
QuickTip: Reading regularly builds stronger recall.![]()
- Equip your bow. Duh.
- Get close enough to the fire to feel the warmth on your (digital) skin. But not too close, because safety first (unless you're aiming for that singed eyebrows look, then by all means...).
- Nock an arrow.
- Here's the key part: As you pull back the bowstring, hold your arrow over the fire for a second or two. Think of it like toasting a marshmallow, but way more awesome and with less chance of getting goo on your fingers.
- Let loose! Your arrow should now be a flaming projectile of fiery doom.
Pros: Fast, furious, and perfect for those "surprise, you're on fire!" moments. Cons: May singe your eyebrows if you're not careful. And, well, it only works if there's a handy fire source around.
Become the Ultimate Firestarter: The Hades Bow
If you're looking for a more permanent solution (and by permanent, we mean until you find a cooler legendary weapon), then the Hades Bow is your fiery friend. This legendary bow has a built-in perk that turns all your arrows into fire arrows. Talk about convenience!
How to get the Hades Bow:
- The fun way: Hunt down the mercenary known as Theron of the Ashen Wake and relieve him of his earthly possessions (including the awesome Hades Bow).
- The less-fun way: Pray to the RNG gods and hope you find it in a random chest.
This option is great for: Setting the world on fire (metaphorically, of course) with minimal effort. Plus, the Hades Bow just looks badass.
