Big shock.Could they not have worded the clue to be slightly more generic? This beautiful lady isn't just falsely claiming to be Aphrodite, but she also is a Kosmos cultist. The clues were also obvious such as “controls Athenian politics” “planned the death of Pericles” “is a woman” “is a liar”.I must be dumb as hell cause I read the clues and and didn’t know who it was until I revealedI honestly forgot she was a character since the last time I encountered her was like 40 hours of gameplay ago. Never mind that Deimos isn't in the same afterlife.They matter so little the Eagle Bearer actually has difficulty remembering who they were after having fought and killed them in the afterlife.It's possible to kill her and her sister well before the story mission to do so is activatedThe version met in Tartarus is much saner and more composed. The game needs better main story pacing like 2-4.The whole cult of Kosmos has been so poorly done tbh.No explaination about the artifact and how did the cult got it.No explaination how did the cult get the sword piece of Eden and why did they give it to Deimos.And lets not even talk about the fact that Aspasia should be a bit older than Alexios/Kassandra. Some Ghost of Tsushima players complains about the visual contradiction of the bow with other parts of the main character's outfit. Her survival caused the creation of the Order of the Ancients and eventually the Templars, right? Even though its not canon, I murdered the shit out of that bitch.I think the names of the various branches actually tell us a lot about how the cult works and what they did.You have the eyes of kosmos who are the spies and spread information.The worshippers of the bloodline in particular - along with Chrysis, were the ones who pushed to install deimos.Then of course there's the clue about Aspasia: the Ghost of Kosmos lies.My theory is that we see really only what she wants us to see: she helps us, she seems to rebel against the cult (even if it's fairly obvious who she is).Her motivations are still the same: to control the bloodline.
Yeah...When I first met Aspasia in Pericles mansion, I had a weird feeling about her. http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Characters/AssassinsCreedOdysseyCultOfKosmosThe Cult's greatest weapon, a human trained from childhood to kill their enemies.A traveling merchant who one day brings an interesting proposition to the Eagle Bearer.The owner of a shipbuilding business based in Achaia and the leader of the Silver Vein.A copper trader and the owner of several copper mines on Mount Dirfi.A notorious mercenary, the chief enforcer of the Cult of Kosmos and the leader of the Heroes of the Cult.The leader of the now-corrupt Champions of Boeotia.A mercenary currently employed by Sparta in Achaia.The crime boss of Heraklion. It's them.Has a moment of this after they hold the Spear of Leonidas in the "good" ending where they rejoin their family and receive a vision from it. Aspasia could have fed us clues about other cultists throughout the game so that she could take over and form the Cult as she wanted it to be. The Cult hoped that unification with the Persian Empire would bring order and unity to the traditionally independent Greek nations.After the Eagle Bearer's gotten through all the named members, there are still a few hiding out in the corners of the Greek world, just barely clinging on, as seen in proto-Templar organization, as they and the Order of the Ancients would actually go on to help form the modern Templar Order itselfAmusingly, Deimos can share this trait with Stentor in the best ending where the entire family is reunited; the two of them get into a wrestling match after a family dinner while their older sibling, mother, and adopted father look on.During their brief playable segment, they're actually so violently unhinged Layla has severe difficulty synchronizing with the memory, even trying to opt out.Even if Deimos forsakes the Cult and rejoins their family, they still go by that name rather than their birth name of Alexios/Kassandra and can even mention that name means nothing to them in the final confronation at Mt.
Not every romance option in Odyssey is a great person.
"the cultist is involved with Athenian politics" would have been better imo.
She didn’t even looked shocked or act sad when her husband was murdered in front of her.
