Which hedonist is tros ac odyssey

The last of Thespis’s actor has retired to a group of Hedone worshippers but to get the right to talk to him, you will have to perform two tests. Discover the unfolding of this quest in this section of the AC Odyssey Guide.

Ephialtes is a person who may know where the actor is. Her exact location is shown in the map below, marked as the quest symbol.

She’s at the Forgotten Swamps.

As you get there, she’ll say that her name is Hedone, and everyone else is called Hedone here. Some weird cult huh?

You will have to perform the initiation rites to be able to find the actor.

You need to first jump from the top of the waterfall and later find a cave and obtain the treasure.

Jump from the waterfall

You should see the waterfall nearby. Climb to the top of the branch.

Jump from here into the water.

You should find treasure underneath the water, but it’s not part of the quest.

Find the cave for the treasure

Now, climb up to the top as there’s a cave here.

Here’s another view of where the cave should be. The opening is just a small gap so you need to narrowly walk in.

Inside the cave, you will find a pool of water. You need to dive underneath and get to the next area.

Keep going until you can surface from the water. The treasure is just there, at a corner.

Talk to Hedone

After getting the treasure, go back to Hedone, the woman you first talked to.

She’s now standing above the waterfall, near the branch where you jumped into the water.

Talk to her and she’ll allow you to talk to the potential actors.

There are five people here, but only two will be good enough to replace the actor.

I recruited the one furthest from me. Just mention during the conversation that he’s good enough to be in the play.

5. Talk to Hedonists to pick the actor

Finally, you have to choose between two actors.

The guy showed in the picture below is the correct one.

Not confirmed: The second one will forget his lines and says funny stuff on stage.

Tros was an Elean actor who was meant to play the part of Ephialtes in Thespis' play in the 5th century BCE.

Tros was a man who, according to Thespis, was "dedicated to his art." However, before Thespis' play could be performed, Tros met and joined the cult of Hedone. Tasked to find Thespis' missing actors, the Spartan misthios Kassandra followed Thespis' suggestion of looking for the man at the Spring of Piera and the ruins there.[1][2]

Unable to tell who among the hedonists was actually Tros, as they insisted on revealing nothing of their past selves, Kassandra was forced to make a decision on who to ask to join the production, unaware if she'd ever truly found Tros or not.[2] Regardless, Thespis' play ended up having its Ephialtes after all.[3]

Description

As part of putting on Thespis' play, Kassandra tracked an absent actor to a mystery cult. But the true mystery was yet to come.

Dialogue

Kassandra traveled to the Spring of Piera in search of one of Thespis' missing actors. When she arrived, she spoke to a woman in the camp at the spring.

• Hedone: Hello! Have you come to learn about the mysteries of Hedone?

• Yes, I'd like to know more.

• It's not a mystery anymore.

• Kassandra: Sure, I'd like to know. Let's start with... what's Hedone?

Kassandra sighed.

• Kassandra: Fine. Initiate me, Hedone. What do I have to do?
• Hedone: Wonderful! You must complete two tasks to demonstrate your devotion. First, climb to the top of the Waterfall of Eternal Joy and dive into Froth of Fantasy.
• Kassandra: Right. And then what?
• Hedone: Then, explore the Cave of Deepest Self Knowledge and return with the treasure you'll find inside.
• Kassandra: Waterfall dive. Cave treasure. Got it.

Kassandra climbed to the top of the waterfall near the spring.

• Kassandra: This is the waterfall. Now to pick a good spot and jump.

Kassandra dove into the water below. She then searched for the cave that Hedone had referred to.

• Kassandra: That cave must be around here somewhere.

The cave's entrance was hidden on the side of the cliff near the waterfall.

• Kassandra: Ah, that must be the cave with the treasure inside.

Kassandra searched the cave and found the treasure that Hedone was referring to.

• Kassandra: That's what I'm looking for.

She brought it back to Hedone who was waiting for her at the top of the waterfall.

• Kassandra: I jumped from the waterfall and found the treasure. Now will you initiate me?
• Hedone: You have initiated yourself! Welcome to the Mysteries of Hedone, Hedone! Go talk with your brothers and sisters, they'll be happy to meet you.
• Kassandra: I'll go speak with them now.

(If Kassandra speaks to her again.)

• Kassandra: So, do you know who Tros is?
• Hedone: Sorry, Hedone. I've heard that name floating around, but I have no idea who it was attached to. Our former names and professions mean nothing here.
• Kassandra: I'll have to talk to everyone, then.

There were five people worshiping in the water. Kassandra spoke to them one by one, hoping to pick which one was the actor.

• Kassandra: Are you Tros? I'm looking for an actor named Tros.
• Hedone: What? I had nearly reached the third level of Hedone's godly bliss when you interrupted me. Now I have to start all over again!
• Kassandra: You get on with that. It's probably best you stay away from acting.

Kassandra approached another Hedone.

• Kassandra: Chaire. Are you Tros, the actor?
• Hedone: Um, I, oh... N-no. I'm not him.
• Kassandra: Good. Otherwise Thespis is terrible at choosing actors.

Kassandra approached another Hedone.

• Kassandra: Hello. I'm looking for the actor Tros. Is that you?
• Hedone: Oh, an actor? I'd love to be an actor. But my friends told me I'd need to practice my stage presence first.
• Kassandra: That's wise advice. Good luck with that.

Kassandra approached another Hedone.

• Kassandra: Hello, are you Tros, the actor?
• Hedone: You must be new. There are no actors here. Our only role is to be Hedone, to inhabit her grace and tranquility.
• Kassandra: You sound like you know something about the theater.
• Hedone: I wouldn't say I know much about it. I might have studied a little Aristophanes, a little Euripides... Medea was robbed, you know.

• I'm sure you're the actor I need.

• Leave – I'm going to talk to some more people.

• Kassandra: If you aren't the actor Tros, you're certainly good enough to be him. Come act in Thespis' play.
• Hedone: I'd like to help you, Hedone, but I need to stay here. Work on my enlightenment, all right?

• Our audience needs to learn the way of Hedone, too.

• You'll never reach enlightenment if you stay here.

• Kassandra: Picture it – you, up on a stage, showing hundreds of people how wonderful the message of Hedone is. I'm offering you that chance, you just have to take it.
• Hedone: That is magnificent. A chance to spread the joy of Hedone to so many people... I'll do it.
• Kassandra: Good. Now go report to Thespis at Pelops Market in Elis. And get on with your rehearsals, Hedone... I mean, Ephialtes.

(If Kassandra approached another Hedone.)

• Kassandra: Hello. I'm looking for Tros, the actor.
• Hedone: Well, none of us use our old names here. But acting, I know about that. Make the audience laugh when they want to laugh, and cry when they want to cry.
• Kassandra: And how would you make an audience laugh?
• Hedone: Well, I'd probably slip and fall on a piece of goat's bladder. Works every time.
• Kassandra: I see... And to make them cry?
• Hedone: I'd tell them about how much I miss my poor dead goat. And if that didn't work, I'd cut an onion at the same time. Old theater trick, you know.

• I'm sure you're the actor I need.

• Leave – I'm going to talk to some more people.

• Kassandra: Thanks for your time. I'll speak with the rest of the Hedonists.
• Hedone: We should use that name. Might get more people joining with a snappy name like that.

Hedone left to meet Thespis.

Outcome

Kassandra wasn't sure if she had found Tros, but procured a suitable actor to play Ephialtes in Thespis' play.

Behind the scenes

The Hedones can be spoken to in any order.

It seems that picking the closest Hedone to the player's position (the one with hair) and choosing the 2nd dialogue option ("Never reach enlightenment") is the correct choice, as the remaining 3 paths all result in inaccurate acting by the chosen Hedone and a poor crowd reaction.
