The Mallet of Everlasting Flame is a well-known blunt weapon used in ancient Greece. Some believe it burns all the time without ending, and others believe it was taken from the heart of a volcano. Players may acquire this weapon by defeating a Greek mercenary known as "the smoldering."
This legendary weapon greatly increases the damage that each successful swing does to enemies who receive the blow. Warrior builds will benefit from a 25% increase in base damage, coupled with an additional 40% Fire damage, as well as converting normal damage to Fire damage without having to use the Flaming Attacks skill.

The Achilles Bow was said to have been used by the Greek hero Achilles. It somehow landed in the hands of a Greek mercenary known as "the Marksman."
The Achilles Bow is ideal for players who prefer a hunter-orientated build as it enhances their base damage while increasing the chances of landing critical hits. Moreover, the 20% boost to the damage dealt by the Devastating Shot makes shooting from afar even more appealing.

The xiphos' design, where the hilt and the blade meet, suggests that Dionysos, the Greek wine god. Later in the game, players will be able to acquire this weapon.
The xiphos' engravings suggest that it is suitable for an assassin-oriented build, with additional base and CRIT damage. And as if that wasn't enough, it increases the Hero Strike ability's damage output, which is already powerful in itself.
Dagger is a form of sabotage.
DPS: 8,257 at level 99

The Dagger of Kronus was created as a result of the Titan Kronos' act of castrating and removing his father Uranus from power. Nyx the Shadow is a beautiful weapon used by the Kosmos branch of the Cult of Kosmos. Players will need to defeat Nyx in order to obtain this weapon.
This dagger is excellent when it comes to defeating opponents from behind, thanks to its engravings which add a lot of bonus damage. It's still useful when it comes to defeating opponents from the front.
Spear Type:

The Falx of Olympos is a famous spear from Greece's 5th century BCE period. It was left hidden in the Aegean Sea's depths, inside the sunken Palace of Amphitrite. Players who wish to obtain this powerful weapon will need to look for a Legendary Chest hidden in the area.
This extremely powerful weapon sacrifices your maximum Health in exchange for a significant increase in the amount of damage you deal enemies. If you're adept at resisting enemy attacks, then this spear will allow you to slay all enemies while you poke at them.
And that's all there is to it for Assassin's Creed Odyssey's finest weapons, according to their category. There are many other weapons out there, but we recommend you use them if you're looking for the most powerful weapon.
