    This Month in Assassin's Creed - October 2019 Update

    As the first anniversary of Assassin's Creed Odyssey fast approaches, we would like to start with a huge thank you to our entire community for playing, discussing, and sharing with us your favorite moments from the game! This month, we have a special anniversary gift for you, our final title update, and some great community stats covering the past year!

    MELAINA MOUNT

    We're celebrating the 1-year anniversary of Assassin's Creed Odyssey with a brand-new anniversary mount coming later this month to the in-game store, free to all Assassin's Creed Odyssey players.
    Named after the playful nymph Melaina, this magnificent horse will turn any misthios into a flamboyant hero.




    ASSASSIN'S CREED ODYSSEY 1 YEAR – COMMUNITY ACHIEVEMENTS

    Assassin's Creed Odyssey first released on October 5th, 2018 and over the past year, this community has been very busy. Get a glimpse of some of the most impressive community achievements, below.




    • Together, you sent over 20 billion enemies down to Hades
    • Across all players & playthroughs you cumulated a total amount of 645+ million hours of playtime

    Stay tuned for a full infographic with more of your accomplishments soon! ��

    TITLE UPDATE 1.5.1

    Later in October, we'll be releasing our final title update, Patch v1.5.1, for Assassin's Creed Odyssey. While the upcoming patch will focus on bug fixes, additional details will be shared across social channels before its release. Be sure to keep an eye on our Twitter and official forums for all the latest news!

    EPIC ENCOUNTERS

    As a special anniversary event, players can expect a new schedule for epic encounters! If you've previously missed your chance to take down an epic mercenary or ship and need to fill up those collections, now's your chance! During October, we'll be featuring a past Mercenary or Ship each day in-game.
    Week 1
    October 1
    October 2 October 3 October 4 October 5 October 6 October 7
    Abia the Shaded Occylos the Successor Polycaste the Jilted Edonos the Charging Bull Shapur the Unforgiving Perdix the Wayfarer Okaleia the Lotus Eater


    Week 2

    November 3 November 4
    Iaeira the Overcomer Narkissos the Babbler Nanno the Abacus Nester the Great Thaleia the Talon-Hand Auxesia the Spawn of Chaos Damais the Not-So-Indifferent

    Additionally, we're substantially increasing the Orichalcum earnings during this event. Each day, defeating an Epic Mercenary or an Epic Ship will give 15 Orichalcum, giving you a total of 105 instead of the usual 40 per week. Don't miss out, because in November Epic Encounters will return to their weekly schedule.

    The past year has meant so much to the Assassin's Creed team and we are happy to have had the opportunity to share the game with you all. As we wrap up the post launch support for Assassin's Creed Odyssey, we want to thank all our players journeying with Alexios and Kassandra, and for remaining one of the most passionate communities there is. We look forward to new adventures with you all in the future!

    And there it goes, the last chance for them to make things right up in smoke. Screw you, Ubisoft.

    Interesting stats! What a fantastic game & a great year!

    The extra ori will be a great help in clearing out Sargon's store!

    Thanks for the free flying unicorn, can't wait for a test drive!

    Wait a second. What if I have already killed Abia the Shaded in the past? Will the same mercenary appear again??? I have been killing mercenaries all day and I have not spotted Abia yet.

    It is the same as when they were weekly targets! You have to select the bounty from a messageboard!

    Also it's like when they cycled the weekly ship skins again! You get another chance to defeat them.

    So, a merc can either appear on a ship or on land OR within one day, the merc will only appear in either the sea or the land?

    Unfortuntely, I don't think it can fly. My white one can't. It just can jump off cliffs without suffering fall damage. Do you really have 9,999,999 wood, 9,999,999 iron & 9,999,999 soft leather? I thought i did well getting 1 million

    As far as I can remember, ALL the ori epic mercs appeared on land! They are separate challenges from the epic ship challenges! If you check the calendar on the sticky post it tells you the exact date each merc will appear, & all the dates for the ship skins!
    You only get 1 challenge per day! Check the message boards in the world for the Bounty on a Mercenary!

    Olympus2018. You've been playing this game as long as I have. Have you never done an orichalcum challenge?

    Abia the Shaded does not appear on any messageboard bounty. Should the merc appear on the very first messageboard that I have visited? Maybe I have defeated this one so I should stop looking? What is going on?
