The Lost Arkalochori Axe was a virtual representation of one of Kassandra's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan through the Portable Animus HR-8.5.

Description

In Heraklion, Kassandra was begged by a priestess to retrieve a ceremonial axe to appease Poseidon and a mysterious man known only as Swordfish.

Dialogue

Kassandra approached a priestess at the Temple of Poseidon.

• Priestess: Thank the gods! Misthios, I need your help.
• Kassandra: What's the problem?
• Priestess: We've been ravaged by storms and rough seas! Poseidon is angry.
• Kassandra: Have you tried making an offering?
• Priestess: A simple offering isn't enough to appease him! We need to perform a ritual... but we can't do it without our ceremonial axe.

(Already obtained, Swordfish investigation not active)

• Kassandra: This? You call this an axe? It could barely shave a man's beard.
• Priestess: The Arkalochori Axe! Thank the gods. Swordfish will be pleased. Let me look more closely...
• Kassandra: Not so fast.
• Priestess: What do you want, misthios?
• Kassandra: What I'm owed.
• Kassandra: This axe would fetch a good price at the agora.

• Priestess: No! You can't sell it. Give it back - I'll pay you. Take all the drachmae I have.

Here, it's yours.It's my axe now.

• Kassandra: The axe was yours to begin with. Take it.
• Priestess: You had me worried, misthios. Thank you, I owe you my life.

Outcome

Trivia

• Should the player retrieve the axe before talking to the Priestess, there will be no dialogue to find Swordfish.
• Should the player retrieve the axe after talking to the Priestess, there will be dialogue pointing to where Swordfish lives, so long as Blood in the Water is active and the player has not already dove into his sanctuary below the lighthouse.
• Whether or not the player gets the dialogue to find Swordfish, the "investigation" bar for 'Blood in the Water' will automatically fill one-third of the way upon completion of this quest. Completing the investigation is not required to find Swordfish; he is automatically loaded into the world upon completion of Myths and Minotaurs, and 'Blood in the Water' automatically updates upon entering his sanctuary below the lighthouse.
• The memory also serves as a support quest for the Of Minotaurs and Men memory.
• If the axe is kept, it can be equipped and used as a Rare Heavy Bladed weapon.
