Assassin's Creed Odyssey has arrived, and it certainly leaves a big impression. Its massive open world and variety of additional content makes it a hugely impressive and immersive experience, and one where it's capable to lose hours at a time. Beyond that, however, the game also has a tightly wound and highly personal story to tell.
That said, players will have to pay attention during the game's main narrative. Rather than losing themselves in completing Conquest Battles, a bit of care is needed during the core plot. That's because Assassin's Creed Odyssey offers up nine different endings, depending on the choices that the player makes over the course of the game.

The story of Assassin's Creed Odyssey isn't exactly linear, with three core story arcs that intertwine over the course of the game. The roots of this plot lie in the family section of the story, which directly revolves around the player character (regardless of whether they choose Alexios or Kassandra), and it's here where the end result of the player's choices lies. However, it's worth bearing in mind that those other threads of the story - those for the Cult of Kosmos and those that tie into the First Civilization of Assassin's Creed lore - are also woven together here.
So, here's a rundown of the choices players will have to make to make sure they're left with the best outcome at the end of the game. Bear in mind that there are heavy spoilers for Assassin's Creed Odyssey ahead.
During Chapter 2 of the game, the player meets their (adoptive) father Nikolaos, a Spartan general otherwise known as the Wolf of Sparta. Here, the player can kill Nikolaos for his part in nearly murdering the hero as a child, or spare his life. Sparing him is the option to choose here, as not only does it open up a quest line later in the game but it allows the best ending to still be available.
Next, during Chapter 6, players will need to make another choice - this time for their mother, Myrinne. Here, they will need to promise to save their sibling Deimos from the Cult of Kosmos to keep the happy ending possible.
The next few options revolve around Nikolaos again, in Chapter 7. During a conversation with Nikolaos, he must be convinced to intervene with Stentor, his adopted son, during the quest The Last Fight of Aristaios. Later in the same chapter, the player must keep Stentor alive when given the chance to kill him.
Next up is Chapter 8. Here, it's extremely important to choose carefully during the conversation with Deimos in jail during Doing Time. The player has to convince them that they are being manipulated by the cult. Finally, in Chapter 9, the player must refuse to fight Deimos.
This will then result in the happiest ending in the game, with the family reunited. Of course, there are plenty of other endings available, depending on the choices the player makes, so stick to this route unless the player is after one of the different endings of the game.
