Max Level in AC Odyssey: Current Caps, Mastery Levels, and Cheats Explained

What is the Max Level in AC Odyssey and How Does it Work?

In Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, the current max level cap has evolved as follows:

• Initially, the level cap was set at Level 50.
• After the release of DLCs, it was increased to Level 70.
• It is now Level 140 due to the Empires Update, with plans to raise it to Level 175 by full release.
• In the future, the final level cap is expected to be around Level 600.

As you progress:

• For each level gained, players earn an additional 7 base health, 2 stamina, and 2 skill points to allocate to their stats, up to Level 140.
• While players max out at Level 140, many NPCs, such as Architect Merlot and Commodore Kai, can reach higher levels, with some wanted/target NPCs going up to Level 260.

Regarding max level mechanics:

• Level 50 is the hard cap: Once you hit this level, traditional leveling stops.
• Mastery Levels: Beyond Level 50, players can invest ability points into Mastery Levels, which further enhance skills focused on Warrior, Hunter, and Assassin playstyles. There are 72 Mastery Levels, and each can be increased 20 times at the cost of 1 ability point per increase.
• Bonuses from Mastery Levels include additional armor, damage, or health—stacking on top of existing bonuses from weapons, gear, and engravings.

To efficiently reach the max level in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey (level 99), consider the following strategies:

1. Main Story Quests: Focus on completing these, as they provide significant experience (XP).
2. Side Quests: Engage in side quests marked as ‘recommended level’ close to your character’s level for good XP and valuable gear.
3. Cultist and Mercenary Targets: Hunting them grants substantial XP.
4. Exploration and Discoveries: Discover locations, viewpoints, and points of interest for XP gains.
5. Bounties and Contracts: Complete these for decent XP with minimal effort.
6. Treasure Hunts: Participate for good XP and loot.
7. XP Boosts: Utilize the ‘XP Boost’ feature from the game’s store or +10% XP gear and abilities.
8. Engaging in Combat: Battle in areas with higher-level enemies for more XP.
9. Utilize the ‘Tactical’ Approach: Use stealth for bonus XP, especially in camps and forts.
10. New Game+: Consider starting a New Game+ to level up quickly while re-experiencing the story.

General Tips:

• Stay on Level: Always engage in activities at or above your current level to maximize XP gains.
• Skill Points: Distribute wisely to enhance combat effectiveness and XP gain.

How to Achieve Mastery Levels After Reaching 50?

Once you hit level 50, the Mastery system unlocks, allowing you to spend 69 ability points earned after 50. This powers up Assassin, Hunter and Warrior skills further:

• Assassin provides 20% armor penetration and +15% critical hit damage at full health.
• Hunter offers headshots that deal 25% extra damage and +10% damage with bows.
• Warrior allows melee attacks to ignore 20% enemy protection and gives +15% damage with heavy blades/blunt & axes.

So, progression keeps going even past the ‘level cap’.

You can reach all the way to the prestigious level 99 through tons of XP grinding. Many players have invested over 200 hours perfecting their level 99 mercenary builds. With this massive, beautiful environment, why would you ever stop leveling up?

My level 99 Kassandra has fought epic battles against mythical creatures like Medusa, the Minotaur, and Cyclops. Toppling these lethal foes pushes your skills to the limits, and I also slew over 50 legendary mercenaries on the path to #1. Defeating the final, nigh-invincible mercs requires perfected builds.

While the leveling curve can feel steep, ultimately, AC Odyssey’s enormous world is worth mastering. The road from 50 to 99 enables you to fully experience a beautifully rendered Greece overflowing with secrets waiting to be uncovered.

You can choose from 72 unique Mastery Levels, with the ability to upgrade each up to 20 times. To upgrade your Mastery Levels, navigate to the Abilities tab in the in-game menu.

At level 50, you should have skill moves that do significant damage like Hero Strike and Overpower. Coupled with gear bonuses, you should be hitting 10, maybe even 20 levels above.

Play the game normally; higher level enemies mean more XP, and you’ll level up faster while having fun exploring the world. Additionally, to fully max out all skills and masteries, you will need around 1600 skill points. Some players have reportedly achieved this, though it remains unclear if they used cheats or merely invested extensive playtime.

, reaching level 50 allows you to spend your Ability Points on Mastery Levels, further enhancing your Assassin, Hunter, and Warrior skills.

Ultimately, as the AC community says, ‘level 50 is just the tutorial’.

Are There Leveling Glitches or Cheats in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey?

Unfortunately, you won’t find any official cheat codes for Assassin’s Creed Odyssey. In general, they’re not something that the franchise has really embraced over the years, especially given the XP boosts that gamers are able to buy in-game. However, if you’re a PC gamer, you’re in luck!

You’re able to install Cheat Engine for Assassin’s Creed Odyssey and cheat to your heart’s content. Once you’ve ed the file, all you have to do is open it and activate the cheats you might want to use. Here are some useful commands:

• Max Level: Type in the command: levelup 99 to set your character’s level to 99.
• Boost Experience Points: Level up quicker by increasing your experience points gained. Use: boostxp [value] to add more experience points instantly.
• Unlock All Abilities: Enter the command: unlockabilities to unlock all abilities instantly.
• Super Speed: This cheat allows your character to move at superhuman speeds. Enter the command: speed 10 to activate super speed.

While you can always use the Cheat Engine method, there are other ways to farm XP in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey. The most popular method is through the game’s Story Creator Mode, which allows players to create their own missions. This feature has been exploited with several community-created missions that serve as XP farms.

If you’re not using Cheat Engine, then you’ll have to utilize the invincibility glitch in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey. This glitch is accomplished by combining different abilities and engravings to create an invincible build. The first thing you need is the ‘Become Isu Enhanced for 15 Seconds When Hit’ legendary engraving on one of your armor pieces, along with the Battlecry of Ares Ability.

No. Ubisoft probably doesn’t love it when gamers find a way past their nefarious XP boosts, but there isn’t any record of any player ever being banned for it. For peace of mind, you can launch the game in offline mode to ensure you’re not connected to Ubisoft’s servers in any way.
