After installing 1.3 title update, I was able to deliver Kyros to the drop off location at the Heart of Elysium but there is no Hermes at the location to complete the quest. I don't have any earlier saves to use and this is the only mission left to complete the quest chain.
I am sorry to hear that you are experiencing this issue.
Before installing the 1.3.0 update were you experiencing issues with this quest? As there was a known issue where Kyros would not move and the quest could not be completed.
Could you please provide a video of the issue. Can you show your quest log screen and show that Hermes is not at the location.
Yes. I was having the issue where Kyros wouldn't move prior to the update. Hermes was also missing prior to the update as well It's a video capture from my X1 and is on OneDrive.

I can confirm that this issue has been reported to dev team.
Can you please answer the following questions:
. Could you confirm if you have performed a save/load action during this quest since installing the 1.3.0 update?
. When you go to your quest log screen and click to track the quest, is the quest objective marker showing in the place where Hermes should be?
. Does the quest objective say 'Escort Kyros to the drop-off location' or 'Escort Kyros to Hermes'?
. Did you complete the objective 'Kill the mind-controlled humans' at any point before or since installing update 1.3.0?
Can you also provide a video to show your quest log screen, your map to show where the objective marker is and in game when you arrive at the location the objective marker leads you.
Could you confirm if you have performed a save/load action during this quest since installing the 1.3.0 update? NO. I DIDN'T SAVE OTHER THAN THE AUTOSAVE FEATURE.
. When you go to your quest log screen and click to track the quest, is the quest objective marker showing in the place where Hermes should be? NO, IT'S NOT SHOWING THE HERMES QUEST MARKER EVEN THOUGH IT'S SELECTED ON THE QUEST LOG SCREEN.
. Does the quest objective say 'Escort Kyros to the drop-off location' or 'Escort Kyros to Hermes'? YES IT DOES. PLEASE REFER TO MY LINKED X1 VIDEO IN MY PREVIOUS POST PLEASE.
. Did you complete the objective 'Kill the mind-controlled humans' at any point before or since installing update 1.3.0? YES. I KILLED THEM PRIOR TO INSTALLING UPDATE 1.3. I WAS HAVING THIS BUG PRIOR TO 1.3 BUT IT WAS NOT FIXED DESPITE THE PATCH NOTES STATING THIS BUG WAS PATCHED.
. Could you confirm if you have performed a save/load action during this quest since installing the 1.3.0 update?
Yes
. When you go to your quest log screen and click to track the quest, is the quest objective marker showing in the place where Hermes should be?
No - It is where kyros is
. Does the quest objective say 'Escort Kyros to the drop-off location' or 'Escort Kyros to Hermes'?
Drop off location
. Did you complete the objective 'Kill the mind-controlled humans' at any point before or since installing update 1.3.0?
Before - the bug manifested right after I knocked them out and de-mind-controlled them
I have the exact same issue. My quest objective says "Escort Kyros to the drop-off location", but the quest marker remains on Kyros who is following me everywhere. There is no Hermes at the Heart of Elysium.
Reverting to an earlier save is not an option. As you know, the game saves every couple of minutes and only keeps the latest three auto saves. If you are dumb enough to troubleshoot the issue by yourself for only a couple of minutes like i did, any save that goes back to an earlier point in the quest chain will be overwritten. The last manual save is 25+ hours back, and it goes without saying that this would mean the end of Assassins Creed Odyssey for me. Please let me know how to progress.
