Finding the Golden Feather of Ajax is one of the most intriguing treasure hunts in Assassin's Creed Odyssey. Assigned by the pirate queen Xenia during the Birds of a Feather quest line, players are given multiple treasure maps that point toward different potential locations across Greece. Navigating these clues efficiently ensures you retrieve the artifact quickly without wasting time exploring false lead coordinates.

Starting the Birds of a Feather Quest

To begin searching for this legendary artifact, players must first meet Xenia on the pirate island of Keos. She presents three distinct treasure maps in your inventory, forcing you to decipher which map reveals the true location. Investigating the clues leads players directly toward the Isle of Salamis, which is situated just west of the Attika region.

Locating the Father of Ajax Lighthouse

Once you arrive at the southern coast of the Isle of Salamis, search for the Lighthouse of the Father of Ajax. Upon inspecting a pot at the site, you can speak with the local lighthouse keeper to learn what happened to the artifact. He explains that a hostile group of local bandits ambushed the site and stole the golden item.

Infiltrating the Mycenaean Tomb of Ajax

The lighthouse keeper directs you toward the bandits' hideout situated at the Mycenaean Tomb of Ajax near the center of the island. Head into the tomb structure, clear out the hostile guards guarding the chambers, and confront the bandit leader. Defeating the leader allows you to loot the corpse and recover the Golden Feather of Ajax.

Returning the Artifact to Xenia

After acquiring the feather, travel back to Keos and present the stolen artifact to Xenia to claim your reward. Delivering this item satisfies the first major objective in her questline and unlocks subsequent treasure hunt missions. Completing her entire series of requests eventually leads to valuable rewards and story achievements.
