Finding high-tier legendary gear in Assassin's Creed Odyssey can transform how you explore the vast Aegean Sea. Among the most sought-after weapons in the game is Poseidon's Trident, a legendary spear that grants a game-changing passive ability. Acquiring this weapon allows players to freely investigate underwater shipwrecks and submerged ruins without the constant fear of running out of oxygen.
Where to Find the Island of Poseidon
To locate Poseidon's Trident, players must set sail toward an unnamed, small island situated in the northeastern section of the map. This secluded landmass lies directly between the islands of Chios and Samos. Upon approaching the island, you will immediately spot a grand, imposing statue of Poseidon dominating the coastal skyline.
Infiltrating the Temple Ruins and Securing the Chest
The island houses the ruins of the Temple of Poseidon, which is heavily guarded by dangerous wildlife. Specifically, an elite level 41 Alpha Lion along with two lionesses patrol the immediate area surrounding the main treasure chest. Lower-level players can successfully claim the reward by crouching in the surrounding tall grass and sneaking past the predators without triggering combat.
Unlocking the Breathe Underwater Legendary Engraving
Inside the temple's legendary chest lies Poseidon's Trident, which carries the unique perk that grants unlimited underwater breathing. While equipping the spear itself requires your character to reach level 41, opening the chest instantly unlocks the legendary engraving for your entire inventory. You can visit any blacksmith in Greece to apply this engraving onto any preferred weapon, making deep-sea exploration completely stress-free early in your journey.
Tactical Advantages of Unlimited Oxygen
Having the ability to remain underwater indefinitely alters both stealth strategies and underwater looting efficiency. Players can easily escape chasing mercs or hostile forces by remaining hidden beneath the ocean surface. Furthermore, it removes the time pressure when searching deep underwater caves or combatting submerged hazards across naval territory.
