Narkissos the Babbler is Assassin’s Creed Odyssey’s Newest Mercenary
There are those in Greek legend who are heralds of their own epic stories. Those who return from great battles or harrowing adventures only to regale the common folk about their journeys. Some, however, may prattle on just a while too long to be considered master storytellers. Narkissos the Babbler, the latest mercenary to join Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, is one such man.
Please Make Him Shut Up
Though his name may just be a dead giveaway, it should be noted that Narkissos is quite self-absorbed. Narkissos is, of course, the ancient Greek spelling of Narcissus, the man of legend whose own vanity consumed him entirely. The most recent mercenary added to Assassin’s Creed Odyssey seems to be following suit quite well.
Known across Aegean ports, this mercenary may actually have the strength to back up his tales. Though he may talk too much, Narkissos is not one to be underestimated. Found on Linou farm spouting off about his escapades, the player will be able to take him on. By wielding flaming arrows and a burning sword he may prove to be quite formidable indeed.
Besting Narkissos the Babbler in combat yields a great reward for those willing to challenge him though. His macabre helmet known as Narkisso’s Slaughterhouse will be ripe for the taking. Not only that, but his loud mouth and plodding tales will cease to plague the world any longer. That seems like a win-win to be perfectly honest.
