Weapons Without Restrictions
Assassin’s Creed Odyssey has boundaries on what can be engraved on any gear type. For instance, engraving crit shots or melee resistance on melee weapons is impossible, but a few items in the game violate these engraving rules. It makes them extraordinary. Sometimes, using them can only reach 100% crit chance in your build. Or even 100% melee resistance and creates you entirely god-mode fighter build. Some of the most significant unusual items are the melee weapons having crit chance or even crit chance at full health because you will get a new weapon with this insane benefit.
The Copycat Sword
Notwithstanding, the essential melee weapon with a crit chance is the Copycat Sword. You can find this sword from the terrible Dagfest line in Locris. You have to assist all three native individuals, and when you murder the Fake Eagle Bearer, he will drop the copycat sword for you. The copycat sword has crit chance, warrior damage, and damned on Spartan Soldiers. The last advantage is no less than junk. And to make the copycat sword upright, you have to engrave it with “Damage with Swords.”
The Typhon’s Axe
The Typhon’s Axe from the Tartarus weapon pack is a new wild addition to the melee weapons with crit shots. It has less damage and a 20% crit chance, while full health and 200% crucial damage with fire capabilities. However, these 200% crit damages suck very much since the 200% crit damage activates only when you manually trigger the firing capability and only after the first full cycle. But the 20% crit chance at full health makes it a good weapon. You should remember while making your build.
The Master of Waters
The two diverse melee weapons with crit chance are The Master of Waters, which can be gotten from the Test of Judgement storyline. To gain this weapon, you must pick Poseidon as your god, and in the volcano, in the end, dungeon, you will find a hidden water-filled room with a micro chest that comprise the master of water spear. The master of waters has crit chance, hunter damage, and an adrenaline advantage.
The Zeus’s Wrath
There is a new heroic spear from the Zeus starter pack. It has crit chance, hunter damage, and a legendary box that activates a cooldown effect. Its advantages are greatly identical to the master of waters, but both spears are not valuable. You must engrave any of these two spears to make them good, wasting so many other great options.
The Tail on Dagger Engraving
There is a way to have a nearly perfect weapon with a 10% crit chance for any weapon type. To do that, you must gain an excellent weapon. It means you have to achieve a weapon with critical, warrior, and damage with that weapon sort. It can be an axe, a blunt, a dagger, or anything you need. Then you should utilize the Tail on Dagger engraving, which has 10% crit shots but minus 50% critical damage. When you place this engraving on an excellent legendary weapon, it will cancel out the crit damage with the negative crit damage. Providing you with a weapon that has damage with your weapon type, warrior damage, and a 10% crit chance. Regardless, you can make this a perfect combination with a perfect sword, dagger, blunt, spear, or death. Just engrave the tail on dagger engraving, and then you have damage with your weapon type, warrior damage, and a 10% crit chance. All these weapons will be good as a copycat swords. And also, they will provide you with way better spears with crit chance.
The Spartan Javelin
Two items in the game have melee resistance on an unusual spot. These two items can take over 100% melee resistance and make you 100% invincible against every melee assault. The mandatory item of this kind is The Spartan Javelin; you can find the spartan javelin during The Mukuno Storyline. You should follow Taletas’ quest and assist Taletas by murdering all The Athenian Commanders. The last commander is positioned on Delos Island; significantly, you don’t surrender to him. Go and slaughter him or recruit him so that he drops his weapon since he is dropping the spartan javelin.
The Auxesia’s Helm of Darkness
The other item with 30% melee resistance on an unusual spot is The Auxesia’s Helm of Darkness. A weekly reward mercenary drops this item from one of your orichalcum quests. This mercenary returns every 42 weeks. Next time this mercenary will return at the end of December or early January 2023.
The Stolen Isu Bracers
If you still need more crit chance in your build and don’t want to utilize it on your weapons, you can also go for a few special gear items. One of the wildest items in the game is The Stolen Isu Bracers. You may find it in the third episode of The Atlantic DLC, in The Fort of Manasias when you slaughter a certain boss in a specific room following the storyline. The stolen Isu bracers have a 10% crit chance and a 20% crit chance at full health. Providing them with a total 30% crit chance at full health. And it makes them an extremely crazy item.
The Belt of The Sphinx
It is an unbelievably wild and one more highly forceful item: The Belt of The Sphinx. It is from the game’s swing set and sole belt, having a 20% crit chance at full health. So, rather than a common 10% crit chance when you utilize this belt, you may have a 20% crit chance at full health. Because you can engrave 100% crit damage, and you do not hinder any other crit damage engraving. It is a better option once in a while than the stone isu bracers. As a side note, it is mentionable if you require more crit chance. There is only a single option to place it on your gear items, and then you may utilize The Nemean Lion Set and create your build surrounding the opponent and lion set since it possesses a set bonus with a 10% crit chance and 20% crit damage. Or you are utilizing The Namean Lion set engraving with 25% crit damage and a 5% crit chance. It can also be engraved on belts.
The Miniotaur Mace
If you want more than 1000% critical damage in your build, you probably need The Minotaur Mace. It is the sole melee weapon in the game, having 100% crit damage while at full health. And still, you may engrave one more 50% crit damage below it. The only drawback of this weapon is that it is just a blue item, meaning it has only three engravings. But these engravings will be highly forceful than any other weapon in the game. You can find The Miniotaur Mace from the fake Miniotaur questline in Pathcar. First, you must gather all three tokens and then do the quest for what lies below the surface, where you will be assaulted by bandits who just want to loot your funds. If you stand that attack and complete the quest, you will be bestowed with the Miniotaur mace. Remember, you may have a second one once you start a new game.
The Dark Steel Mask
It is the only helmet in the game with 100% crit damage on a helmet. Helmets commonly have only 50% crit damage, but The Dark Steel Mask may get 100%. Unfortunately, the dark steel mask can only be robbed when you purchase Olympian Gifts from Zargon. So, you must have a great fortune till you finally pull the dark steel mask.
The Persian Warrior Waistband
This is a special item since it is the sole belt in the game with 50% crit damage. Commonly, you may find the belts in the game with only 100% crit damage, and you cannot engrave 50% crit damage on it. But you already have 50% crit damage on the Persian warrior waistband, and you can engrave one more 100%. It provides you with 150% critical damage on a belt. You can loot this waistband from a chest on Salami’s Island. Just go to the ruins in the south and plunder every chest on the location.
Oaken Bow of Chambers
It is not normal that you can engrave critical damage on bows. Four bows in the game have this advantage, but only two are mentioned worthy. First is The Oaken Bow of Chambers. You can find this bow in the tomb of the daughters of Atlas in Arcadia. The oaken bow of chambers is one of the excellent hunter bows in the game. And the best hunter bow, if you have not played with the bighorn bow yet. Indeed, the bighorn bow overcomes it by miles.
The Bandit Bow
The best bow for the sheer assassin builds that don’t want to do anything else and enhance the assassination damage is The Bandit Bow. It has a 10% crit chance, assassin damage, and 50% critical damage. Like the dark steel mask, the bandit bow can be found in The Olympian Gifts. So if you need the bandit bow or the dark steel mask, it is suggested to take the Olympian gifts. If you have both, you will have a Helix Door item in every 6 or 7 Olympic gifts. And on all the items, you can have Aza, the dark steel mask, or the bandit bow.
The Heitor’s Harpe
To find an excellent weapon, you don’t need to walk to the blacksmith all the time. You may find a few great epic weapons or almost great epic weapons with high ease from loot or quest locations. The finest instance of that is The Heitor’s Harpe, a great heroic sword with critical damage, warrior damage, and damage with the swords. It can be easily found in the very early game when you make a friend and need a quest in Attica. Just lie to Heitor and hold the sword, and it is all yours.
The Sword of Axon
Here’s one more almost perfect sword having damage with the swords, warrior damage, and fire damage. The Sword of Axon, you can find this sword in The Pattern on Chest in Athens. Go to the West side of the Party Knot and open the chest to rob it.
The Boeotian Raphsody
It is a great epic heavy blunt having damage of heavy blunts, warrior damage, and critical damage. The Boeotian Raphsody can easily be found in Britia in Tibet when you move into the Acropolis and steal the chest.
The Harvester of Time
It is an excellently grand spear with damage to spears, critical damage, and warrior damage. Unluckily, The Harvester of Time cannot be gotten into the game; instead, in The Helix Store. But have a few helix credits, and you own the bighorn bow earlier. You might consider spending the rest of the credits on obtaining the harvester of time to have an excellent legendary warrior spear. And you can get the greatest legendary weapons with routine combinations when you do the blacksmith reload.
The Epic Warrior Torso And The Dioklet’s Armor
As everyone fights hard to have the perfect heroic warrior torso. Now, there is a quest that provides you with this item for free. The questline Digital Sun’s Return in Corinthia will offer you the task of purchasing two epic torsos. The less valuable is a common Athenian Torso or dioklet’s Armor. That will prove itself an excellent legendary warrior torso. Purchase two of these armor items and divulge the cheap one to the sun, and have dioklet’s armor with yourself.
The Resort Shoulder Pads
The Dioklet’s Armor is an ideal warrior torso with 10% all damage, warrior damage, and 50% critical damage. A whole new unlike torso that came with The Crawford DLC is The Resort Shoulder Pads. It also has a 40% chance to ignore half damage, warrior damage, and 30% total armor. However, the entire armor is nearly ineffectual. But the 40% chance to ignore half damage is a benefit that stands out. Normally, it does not happen on torsos. This torso is particularly advantageous to attain to 100% chance to ignore half damage without abandoning any benefits or damage. The resort shoulder pads will be included automatically when you have completed the whole core of DLC. The last scene should be cut, and when you reload your save, it will be included in your inventory.
The Arms of The Sphinx
The last but not least, this item is worth mentioning here. Since The Arms of The Sphinx are the sole arms in the game with bow-charging speed, with this item only, you can create a 100% crit chance, and 100% bow-charging speed hunter build. It means that your destructive shots will be automatically fully charged and automatically deal all their damage without any wait to get them charged. That makes a devastating shot all the more lethal than it already is.
The Korfu’s Greaves
There are also other unique items, for instance, The Korfu’s Greaves. It has critical damage on boots or the abstergo boots. It also has critical damage on boots. But these items have very horrible engraving combinations as well. Including, The Korfu’s greaves have movement speed while crouching. So they are merely crap. Therefore, they are not worth mentioning.
