So You Want a Spartan Javelin in Assassin's Creed Odyssey? You've Got Options, Misthios!
Ah, the Spartan Javelin. A legend whispered among warriors, a beacon of hope for those who dream of deflecting every single enemy poke. But fear not, aspiring Spartan wannabe, for obtaining this javelin is far less mythical and way more hilarious, depending on your approach.
How To Get Spartan Javelin Ac Odyssey |
Choice 1: Befriend a Traitor (with Benefits)
The Lowdown: During the "Silver Islands" questline, you'll stumble upon a conflicted Athenian commander named Neokles. This guy's loyalty is flimsier than a Spartan sandal after a particularly vigorous kick. You can choose to either (a) convince him to join your merry band of mercenaries, or (b) put him out of his moral misery.
QuickTip: Slow scrolling helps comprehension.![]()
Why it's funny: Here's the thing: Neokles offers a fantastic javelin, but only if you kill him. That's some serious "thanks for the invite, but I brought my own party favor" energy. However, there's a delightful twist. You can actually knock him unconscious during the fight, recruit him as a lieutenant, AND keep the javelin! Now that's what I call a win-win... with a hint of Sparta-induced PTSD.
Tip: Look out for transitions like ‘however’ or ‘but’.![]()
Drawbacks: This method requires some fancy footwork (and maybe a sleep dart). Plus, Neokles might give you major side-eye every time you brag about your "totally legit" javelin.
Tip: Check back if you skimmed too fast.![]()
Choice 2: Become a Ruthless Raider (But Not Really)
The Lowdown: There's a hidden room on the island of Delos, accessible only during a specific quest. Inside, you'll find a rather pathetic Athenian bloke begging for his life. Now, you could be a total jerk and, well, you get the picture. But here's the beauty of Assassin's Creed Odyssey: you can choose to shame this sorry soul instead.
Tip: Reading in short bursts can keep focus high.![]()
Why it's funny: Imagine the look on this guy's face when a legendary Misthios waltzes in, demands his javelin, and then leaves him whimpering about public humiliation. It's like taking candy from a Spartan baby... except the candy is a javelin, and the baby is a grown man with questionable life choices.
Drawbacks: This path might leave you feeling a tad ruthless. But hey, at least you got a sweet javelin and a hilarious story to tell at your next mercenary campfire.
Remember: No matter which path you choose, wielding the Spartan Javelin with reckless abandon is practically mandatory. After all, what's the point of having a legendary weapon if you don't look incredibly cool while using it?
So there you have it, Misthios! Now go forth, conquer your enemies (or shame them into submission), and become the javelin-wielding legend you were always meant to be!
