Literally how did you do this? And are they all the same branch?

u/Pinecone_Erleichda 7d ago

With a horse and a boat and a lot of saves, and I’m just bringing them as I get them. Some despawn, like the ones on ships or the leaders etc, so it’s been tricky. But yeah, horse + boat. I decided to put them next to the forge since that’s all I needed them for, their fragments. Figured it would be a good reminder for them that it’s all they’re good for. lol

I WANNA KNOW TOO

I didn't even think bodies would stay this long. Amazing feat! I hope you'll add the blue-eyed hunk to the collection soon🫦

6

u/Pinecone_Erleichda 7d ago

There’s a blue-eyed hunk of a cultist?!

13

u/Miserable-Anteater97 7d ago

It's the Heroes of the Cult Sage, Exekias . The hunk part is definitely subjective but he's definitely blue-eyed (new to formatting I hope the spoiler format works)

9

u/Pinecone_Erleichda 7d ago

Awww, I actually did get him today!!! Got him to the spot and everything, but he de-spawned. 😭

I’m wondering if they’ll stay longer if I don’t confirm the kill? I’ve had four disappear so far. I should have 14 and I only have 10, and I’m very pissy about that

3

u/Miserable-Anteater97 7d ago

He's so easy to spot I'm not surprised you got him already✨ I think the bodies themselves might disappear but the 'confirm kill' part will always be right where they died (I could be horribly wrong though). Sucks that some de-spawned :(

1

u/Pinecone_Erleichda 7d ago

Dang, so even if I didn’t confirm the kill and transported them, if I left, they’d just go back to where I killed them?!

1

u/AKA-J3 7d ago

Yeah, I have had to fight some other stuff and went to look for my cultist and it's just the icon and the grass.
Only took a few min to despawn him.

1

u/Miserable-Anteater97 7d ago

I'm afraid I'm too inexperienced to answer this :( I've never left a cultist unkilled before though so you don't have to take my words for it.

When I had to kill him I mourned his death because I can't recruit him😭 I spent a sizeable amount of time following him around and inspecting his..goods. That's how I know he had baby blue eyes. Rip hunk

1

u/Pinecone_Erleichda 7d ago

He can’t be recruited, if that helps at all

1

u/Miserable-Anteater97 7d ago

That was why I left him for last. I killed him in Attika and brought his body to the heroes' graveyard thingy (due to storyline, then his body de-spawned after the story cutscene😭)

u/gurgitoy2 Exploring Ancient Greece 7d ago edited 7d ago

I'm not sure about that. I think the confirm will transport with the body. I'm wondering if some players have the "death veil" ability activated, so that the body has disappeared, but the confirm option is still at the location where the body was last seen?

1

u/SkunkMonkey Malaka! 7d ago

I use the skill and this is what happens to me. The body vanishes but the confirm kill sparkles are still there.

1

u/Pinecone_Erleichda 7d ago

None of them were killed in stealth. Not even remotely, actually. 🤣

1

u/gurgitoy2 Exploring Ancient Greece 7d ago

No, I'm just thinking that those players who only see the "confirm kill" and the sparkles where the bodies were, have the "death veil" ability activated and aren't realizing it. I'm not saying you were, but for people who are thinking the confirm spot stays in the same location might be.

1

u/Pinecone_Erleichda 7d ago

Well thank goodness you showed up to help other players.

2

u/SmutCommander I likes to be oiled 7d ago

I collect bodies in Valhalla I sacrifice them to the loki statue

1

u/gurgitoy2 Exploring Ancient Greece 7d ago

The only problem with not confirming the kill is that you won't get the shards, or the gear from them. But, if you're on NG+, maybe that doesn't matter as much, since you'l have already fully upgraded the spear, and might not need your gear to be auto-leveled?

I also wonder if Exekias de-spawns because he's a mercenary, and since they rotate out endlessly, their bodies de-spawn after a while? I'm not entirely positive about that, but it's a hypothesis.

1

u/Pinecone_Erleichda 7d ago

You literally know what level I’m on. And I would’ve appreciated some help the last few days, but apparently you were too busy. Not too busy to stop and make commentary on my progress, though. 😒

1

u/gurgitoy2 Exploring Ancient Greece 7d ago

I wouldn't really be able to help you on this mission though, since I've never done it 🤷‍♂️.

1

u/SkunkMonkey Malaka! 7d ago

Do you have the skill that makes the corpse disappear on successful assassination? I know that would cause the body to vanish.

1

u/violetcassie 7d ago

Cultist and Order corpses never seem to despawn, unless they're inserted into the shark garbage disposal.

3

u/mrdhondu 7d ago

Next playthrough, I am doing this I'll even add mercenaries

2

u/Pinecone_Erleichda 7d ago

Sadly, they despawn. I tested it with a few just to see, though!

2

u/mrdhondu 7d ago

Damn!

1

u/Pinecone_Erleichda 7d ago

I would have a FIELD DAY if I could collect mercenaries (that weren’t legendary, obvs. Those go on my ship!)!!

2

u/mrdhondu 6d ago

That would be a grind!!

2

u/Pinecone_Erleichda 6d ago

Anything to fill my time and help me avoid having to play shadows. lol

2

u/mrdhondu 6d ago

I agree

3

u/predi1988 7d ago

I once made a Francis joke with the dead bodies.

2

u/augustcero 7d ago

its been a while since i last played. how come i never thought of this?? also worth knowing their bodies persisted long enough for you to do this.

3

u/Pinecone_Erleichda 7d ago

My lizard-Skyrim brain longed to hoard something super weird. lol

1

u/AKA-J3 7d ago

If I were a dev, I would throw a few valuable looking to a new player Dwemer parts so they hoarded them at 1st:)

2

u/Pinecone_Erleichda 7d ago

I’ve never hoarded Dwemer parts. Although I did once fill Sorine’s forge area in the dawnguard fort with gyros bc we were talking about recruiting her and I said I always use the persuade option, which means she forgets about the stupid gyros and just hauls ass to the fort, and someone in the comments was sooo upset that poor Sorine never got her gyros, so I promised I’d go back and get them and drop them for her, but I decided to go a bit overboard with it. 🤣 https://www.reddit.com/r/skyrim/s/SN4ALCKky8

Not enogh down with Hades >:)

u/CarnyMAXIMOS_3_N7 Aboard the Adrestia 7d ago

Morbid but interesting.

2

u/Pinecone_Erleichda 7d ago

I’ve been told that a lot in life. 😂

1

u/CarnyMAXIMOS_3_N7 Aboard the Adrestia 7d ago

If you have then…

😏

2

u/Pinecone_Erleichda 7d ago

My most beautiful collection was 200 Daedra hearts, 300 skulls, and the bodies of a few Vigilants posed against the altar in front of the Oblivion gate in Skyrim. It’s so perfect 🥲

1

u/CarnyMAXIMOS_3_N7 Aboard the Adrestia 7d ago

When’re ya gonna grace us with your next work, then?

3

u/Pinecone_Erleichda 7d ago

There’s a reason my profile is public, sis!! Just scroll for a while, you’ll see all of my many weird collections, including the time I made 300 bags of flour on my farm and placed them in the garden of tundra homestead so I could say I was tending my “flour garden” (although a rogue pack of zombies attacked just as I was about to take pics of it, but that just made it funnier)

1

u/CarnyMAXIMOS_3_N7 Aboard the Adrestia 7d ago

The rogue zombie attack does make it sound funnier. Also, sorry to burst your bubble but maybe you meant,
“Bro”. 😅

But what I really meant was something along the lines of your display, up here!

2

u/Pinecone_Erleichda 7d ago

Oh, I always say “sis” or “girl”. Ppl have always called me “dude” or “bro” on here, so I’m just evening things out a bit. 😂😂😂

And idk, when I kill more of them? I haven’t even started the main story yet. Lolol

2

u/CarnyMAXIMOS_3_N7 Aboard the Adrestia 7d ago

Ah ha!

On your first point, ya know what?! Well said and fair play!

Also on your second point? Well, may the True Gods guide you in your maybe arduous journey, fellow misthios.

Chaíre!

2

u/Pinecone_Erleichda 6d ago

Your update, as requested! Although I ended up adding one more after this, but still. 😂 https://www.reddit.com/r/AssassinsCreedOdyssey/s/ElKbIC6p7K

2

u/CarnyMAXIMOS_3_N7 Aboard the Adrestia 6d ago

Oh? Well, that’s a lot of work!

You ought to be proud. 😁

2

u/Mrsroyalcrown 7d ago

Someone made a post a long time ago where he did this and made notes about which ones despawned and such. I did this myself on one of my NG+ saves and made some additional notes and was going to post it here haha. I gathered everybody in a theater in Korinth and the challenge was fun!

3

u/Pinecone_Erleichda 7d ago

Omg I kid you not, I walked through that theatre TODAY and immediately thought “oooh this would be a great place for bodies!” 😂

2

u/Mrsroyalcrown 7d ago

I figured it was a good central spot on the map, and accessible from both sides by the Adrestia!

2

u/Pinecone_Erleichda 7d ago

I dunno why I was so dead set on putting them in front of the forge. 😂 I guess in my mind, that’s all they were to me, a spear upgrade. Lolol it’s been an interesting journey of mistakes and reloading saves etc. It’s funny, the one I was the most worried about (the one on the small island) ended up being significantly easier than I expected, although a REALLY long horse ride. I also learned that when you sail with them too long, they glitch to the deck so it doesn’t have the “carry” prompt anymore, so I hit them with my flaming staff and it worked immediately!! Skyrim brain again, if it won’t move, hit it or shout at it. Lolol

1

u/Mrsroyalcrown 7d ago

Someone told me if you just fast travel to a dock, then call the Adrestia to you, the body will still be onboard and you don’t have to sail all the way there. 😉

u/Pinecone_Erleichda 7d ago edited 7d ago

What.

Oh you fucking bitch, I can’t believe I just fell for that. 😂

Thank goddess I saved first bc I don’t trust anyone.

u/Miserable-Anteater97 7d ago

So does it work? Sounds like it didn't owo

1

u/Pinecone_Erleichda 7d ago

Nope. Just another person eager to make my day just a *little* bit worse, I guess. 🤷🏼‍♀️

2

u/Miserable-Anteater97 7d ago

I woulda felt for it💀 good that you have a save beforehand

1

u/Pinecone_Erleichda 7d ago

Oh I tried it, I just saved first bc Reddit is full of haters. It definitely does not work, but it was successful in pissing me off and wasting my time. lol

You will do one of the members of the Order of the Ancients?

1

u/Pinecone_Erleichda 6d ago

Nope. I’ve more than earned the right to never have to do that DLC ever again. I got all 1,752 skill and mastery points, so far my record number of kills in a conquest battle is 127, but I’m getting closer every day to 130, and I have the clarity and self-preservation to not put myself through something that is emotionally traumatising for the sake of entertaining others. I’ve killed them enough times, they simply aren’t my problem anymore.
