So You Want a Pegasus in Assassin's Creed Odyssey? Hold Your Centaur Tears, We Got You Covered.
Ah, the majestic Pegasus. The winged stallion of Greek myth, capable of soaring through the skies with a nonchalance that would make even Hermes jealous. And now, you, fearless mercenary of Ancient Greece, crave its magnificence as your noble steed. But before you start sacrificing goats to Zeus in hopes of a divine airlift, fret not! Obtaining a Pegasus in Assassin's Creed Odyssey is a touch more grounded (though sadly flightless).
Option 1: The Cash Cavalier (a.k.a. The Helix Hustle)
Let's face it, sometimes the easiest route is the one paved with Helix Credits, Assassin's Odyssey's premium currency. Head on over to the in-game store, the glitzy Helix Store (patent pending on that name), and for a cool 750 Helix Credits, you can snag the Pegasus skin for your trusty steed, Phobos. Just remember, this majestic makeover won't grant Phobos the ability to fly. He'll still be a fantastic earthbound companion, but don't come crying to us when you bellyflop off a cliff expecting a graceful descent.
Pros: Instant gratification, you look darn snazzy riding a mythical beast. Cons: Requires real-world money, Phobos can't fly (sorry, we had to break it to you again).
Option 2: The Gamble Games (a.k.a. Lady Luck's Labyrinth)
For those who enjoy a spot of risk with their mythical mounts, there's a chance, a glorious, fleeting chance, to obtain the Black Unicorn Pegasus skin. This shadowy wonder boasts all the elegance of the regular Pegasus, but with a dash of goth thrown in for good measure. Here's the catch: you'll need to tempt the fickle finger of fate by purchasing the Pegasus Pack in the store. This mythical loot box might just grant you the Black Unicorn Pegasus, or it could shower you with other, less aerodynamic, goodies.
Pros: The thrill of the gamble, a chance to snag a truly unique mount. Cons: It's all up to RNG (Random Number Generator, the bane of many a gamer's existence), you might end up with a boatload of beard oil instead.
Here's a word to the wise: Unless you're feeling particularly lucky (or have a serious case of gambling fever), this option might be best left unexplored. There's a reason casinos have flashing lights and free buffets.
So, there you have it, warriors! Your path to a (grounded) Pegasus awaits. Choose wisely, and remember, even a regular horse can be a trusty companion in your Odyssey across Ancient Greece.
P.S. If all else fails, you could always try befriending a giant eagle. Just sayin'.
