Assassin's Creed Odyssey The Eyes Of Kosmos

So, you've sailed the Aegean, climbed every mountain in Greece, and probably punched a shark or two in Assassin's Creed Odyssey. Think you've seen it all? Think again!

The Eyes of Kosmos: More Than Just Evil Cultists

Let's talk about the Cult of Kosmos. Yeah, yeah, shadowy figures pulling the strings, blah, blah. But behind all the dramatic pronouncements and villainous monologues, there's some genuinely weird stuff going on.

These folks aren't just evil masterminds. They're also... surprisingly bad at planning. Seriously, some of their schemes are so convoluted, you almost feel bad for them when you foil their plans. It's like watching a toddler try to build a skyscraper out of LEGOs. Adorable, but ultimately doomed.

A Family Affair (Sort Of)

One of the funniest things about the Cult is how often its members are related to each other. Imagine going to a family reunion and finding out Uncle Steve is plotting world domination. Awkward!

And the conversations! Can you imagine the family dinners? "So, Aunt Mildred, how's the assassination business going? Did you manage to poison that politician yet?" You almost feel like you're eavesdropping on a very dysfunctional, very stabby family therapy session.

Speaking of awkward, some of the cultists seem genuinely confused about why they're even in the Cult in the first place. You get the feeling they signed up for a book club and accidentally ended up in a secret society. Misunderstandings happen!

More Than Meets the Eye

But it's not all laughs and stabbings. Sometimes, these cultists have surprisingly sympathetic backstories. A tragic past, a broken heart, maybe they just really, really hated olives. Okay, maybe not the olive thing, but you get the idea.

You'll encounter members who genuinely believed they were doing the right thing, even if their methods were… questionable. It adds a layer of depth to these characters that goes beyond simple "evil guy" archetypes. It makes you think about their motivations.

Take Deianeira, for example. She wants to create order but ends up being a major jerk, controlled by the Cult. There are many like her.

Breaking the Fourth Wall (Almost)

Sometimes, the game itself seems to be in on the joke. The way some of the cultists deliver their lines, the sheer absurdity of certain situations... It's like Ubisoft is winking at you, saying, "Yeah, we know this is ridiculous, but isn't it fun?"

The sheer variety of personalities within the Cult keeps things interesting. You've got your garden-variety sociopaths, your power-hungry maniacs, and your surprisingly competent assassins. It's like a rogue's gallery straight out of a comic book, but with more goats.

Don't forget Aspasia. Even if she is the leader of the Cult, she wants what is best for Athens.

"I thought that what I was doing was the best way forward, even if those ways were… unconventional."

Beyond the Stabbing: The Heart of Odyssey

Ultimately, the Cult of Kosmos is more than just a group of villains to defeat. They're a reflection of the game's themes of choice, consequence, and the blurred lines between good and evil.

They force you to question your own actions and consider the impact you have on the world around you. Are you truly a hero, or just another pawn in a much larger game? This is the essence of Odyssey.

So, the next time you're hunting down members of the Cult of Kosmos, take a moment to appreciate the sheer absurdity of it all. Because behind the shadowy plots and dramatic pronouncements, there's a whole lot of weirdness, humor, and even a little bit of heart to be found.
