Assassin’s Creed Odyssey Iron Ore Guide
Now, Iron Ore can be found everywhere in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey. On the side of hills, on clifftops, next to rivers, from equipment that you dismantle – everywhere. However, there is one place in particular where there are tons of it waiting for the taking.
Assassin’s Creed Odyssey How To Get The Most Iron Ore
Located on the Foundry of Hephaistos just off the island of Aegnia, Iron Ore is literally littering the place. You can find it on the beach and on the mountainside for starters.
However by far the greatest concentration of Iron Ore lay inside the forge itself.
To access the forge you must climb the peak and find the synchronization point. From here, you must then dive into the forge itself (it’s a straight dive). Once you’ve taken the leap you’ll find yourself in a pool of water with a bunch of ore at the bottom.
After scooping all of it up, and pulling yourself out of the water you will find yourself in a cave filled with lava. You need to be careful here as you can die by just touching the lava. Making matters more difficult are the enemies you’ll fight in here.
A group of fire cultists that average out at level 19 with two lieutenants, you have to be careful to ensure the fight doesn’t sprawl into the lava. However, you can use this to your advantage.
Before the fight begins all of these dudes have to climb a really tall ladder. As such, you can take advantage of this by Sparta Kicking them as soon as they reach the top. The fall damage from the Sparta Kick at this height should be enough to heavily damage these guys, if not kill them outright.
If the fight does spread into the cave itself always ensure that their backs are towards the lava and yours isn’t. This will allow you to unleash the Sparta Kick to boot them into the fiery depths for an easy kill.
Once you’ve beaten these guys some chests await, and of course, masses of Iron Ore. You’ll find the Iron Ore stuck in the ceiling, walls and floor so be sure to check everywhere.
