As you set sail through the sun-soaked waters of Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, the Pirate Islands offer adventure, mystery, and challenging riddles. This guide will help you locate and solve the region’s three Ainigmata Ostraka—“Blue Eyed Beauty,” “Smoke Signal,” and “Pride of Place”—leading to treasures that enhance your gear and deepen your connection to Ancient Greece’s world.
What Are Ainigmata Ostraka?
Ainigmata Ostraka are riddles found throughout Assassin’s Creed Odyssey. Each one presents a cryptic clue that, when deciphered, points you toward hidden treasures. Whether you’re after powerful engravings or the thrill of discovery, these riddles reward exploration and wit with tangible benefits in your game.
The Pirate Islands are home to three unique Ostraka, each tied to the history and geography of these once-thriving havens of freebooters. Below, we’ll break down each riddle, showing you where to start and where to go.
Pirate Islands’ Ainigmata Ostraka
“Blue Eyed Beauty”
Riddle Location
Start your search at Aetios’s House. Inside the house, on a table, you’ll find the Ostraka that begins the mystery.
Riddle Clue
“In the Cradle of Myths, where the lagoon is blue, seek a hole set in stone so I may see you. When the sun blazes brightest, the fog will lift, and the Eye will open to behold your gift.”
Treasure Location
Make your way to the Cradle of Myths, a serene lagoon reflecting shades of turquoise. The treasure is hidden underwater near an arch-shaped rock formation. For the best visibility, time your search around sunrise when the sunlight reveals the location like the Eye hinted in the clue.
Exploration Tip:
Use Ikaros to locate the arch and mark the treasure’s position beneath the water to avoid aimless swimming.
“Smoke Signal”
Riddle Location
This riddle is hidden in the Leader House, lying on the ground floor.
Riddle Clue
“Smoke is rising in Pirate’s Revenge. Find me at the source!”
Treasure Location
Head to Pirate’s Revenge, a settlement partially destroyed by fire. Close to the location’s burned-out sections, you’ll spot a large, blackened campfire. The treasure lies nearby, waiting to be collected.
Exploration Tip:
The smoke plume from the ruined area can help you discern this location from a distance. Scout it out before entering to avoid wasting time.
“Pride of Place”
Riddle Location
The riddle awaits discovery in the Wailing Cavern. It’s at the feet of an ancient lion statue, adding a sense of regality to this puzzle’s origin.
Riddle Clue
“If you sail back to the Island of Keos, search for the marble Lion’s brother. He stands proud on the peninsula at Apollo’s Refuge. You can find me on his back.”
Treasure Location
Travel to Apollo’s Refuge in the Island of Keos. Here you’ll find another grand marble lion, keeping watch over the coastline. Interact with the spot on the lion’s back to claim your treasure and revel in the view.
Exploration Tip:
Apollo’s Refuge showcases breathtaking scenery. Use this time to explore the surrounding area for additional collectibles and resource opportunities.
Tips for Success
- Plan Your Route: Synchronizing points around the Pirate Islands and Keos will save time when traveling between riddles and ruins.
- Daylight Advantage: Some riddles, like “Blue Eyed Beauty,” depend on lighting conditions. Try solving them during the day for better visibility.
- Mark Locations with Ikaros: Spot the treasure and nearby hazards from the sky before advancing.
- Avoid Heavy Combat: The Pirate Islands are sparsely guarded, but it’s wise to approach ruins or Leader Houses cautiously.
Final Thoughts
These riddles offer more than just treasures. They connect you to unique geographical features and add layers of storytelling to the game. Each clue draws you deeper into the lore of these pirate-ruled territories, reflecting their blend of beauty and desolation.
By solving “Blue Eyed Beauty,” “Smoke Signal,” and “Pride of Place,” you’ll uncover not only rare loot but also hints of the history that shaped these islands. Adventure awaits—are you ready to claim your place among legends?
