10 Important Video Game Plot Points Answered In DLC

9. Aletheia, Atlantis And The Staff - Assassin's Creed Odyssey (The Fate Of Atlantis)

Throughout its history, the Assassin’s Creed franchise has developed a habit for withholding plot information until the release of DLC. Assassin’s Creed II reserved The Bonfire Of The Vanities for later. Revelations finally explained why Desmond killed Lucy at the end of Brotherhood. And the founding of the Hidden Ones was left until the aptly named Hidden Ones DLC in Origins.

Likewise, players of Odyssey would need to wait until the substantial Fate Of Atlantis expansion before discovering what lay behind the sealed doors guarding the sunken city.

Late in the main game, Kassandra’s quest would lead them to uncovering the location of the mythical kingdom. Unfortunately, the knowledge kept within is locked by four mechanisms. Unlocking these seals, however, only led to more questions. Namely, who is the mysterious Isu Aletheia who speaks to us?

Alongside answering this question in addition to showing how Atlantis connects to the series’ mythos, The Fate Of Atlantis is likewise crucial in continuing the modern-day storyline and understanding the corruptive power of the staff, which is briefly alluded to in Valhalla. In short, there’s a lot of vital information regarding the series’ lore within this episodic DLC.
