How to unlock the Hermes's Homie achievement in Assassin's Creed Odyssey - Definitive Guide

To unlock the Hermes's Homie trophy in Assassin's Creed Odyssey, you need to "unveil" all sub-regions of Greece. That is, you need to defog the whole map.

There are two types of de-fog; land and sea. Confirmed: There is one section of land that is not labelled as a named sub-region, and none of the sea is labelled, but you do have to uncover these in order to unlock the trophy.

Land looks a muddy brown and indistinct until you uncover it, when detailed features and colour start to appear. Sea is covered in ancient cartography style paintings until you visit the area.

When you are looking at the map, zoom in twice so that you can see the white edging around distinct sub-regions (as opposed to the blue or red edging around larger regions at higher zoom levels). You need to make sure that every single one of these white-edged sub-regions and the sea regions are uncovered.

Unfortunately it's a little indistinct as to when the uncovering occurs. You certainly don't need to unfog the entire area manually -- the whole area should fill in after a little exploring. However it's certainly not enough to simply go past the area. I would recommend visiting at least one location within the area (if there's one within a reasonable distance) and check the map to see if it's now showing uncovered.

Sea regions are a little easier -- pretty much as soon as you touch the edge of a region the whole section will fill in.

Here are some trouble spots, areas that people tend to miss:

Valley of the Kings: Likely a glitch, but this area between Pass of the Warriors and Limnai Marsh in Lakonia (bordered on the north side by the Smuggler's Forest region of Arkadia) is the only land-based sub-region that doesn't have a label. Here's a screenshot:

ACO locations


Kradia Isle: Most little islands just off the coast of larger land masses are part of a sub-region on the larger mass, but in some cases even the tiniest of islands is its own sub-region. One example is Kradia Isle south of Samos:

ACO locations


Chytra Atoll: another small isle that is its own sub-region south of Kythera Island:

ACO locations


Otherwise it's really just a case of methodically going through each brown area and making sure it's actually de-fogged; some areas are almost as brown uncovered as they were in their de-fog state so just look for small details that reveal that the area is already un-fogged. The best example of this is probably the Volcanic Islands in the south-east; Nisyros looks as muddy and indistinct as ever, yet when you zoom in you can see lava and structure detail which means it has been visited:

ACO locations


As soon as you de-fog the last area of land or sea on the map, the Hermes's Homie trophy will unlock.

That stupid little island that you show as the second area did the trick. I spent an hour looking around the map for fogged areas before following this guide. I should have just read this earlier.

Just got this trophy. The Valley of the King’s is what I‘ve been missing. Can‘t believe how blind I was. Thanks for the hints! :)

@BaronSqwelch Unless you have missed any sea sections, I'd suggest winding back and forth across Lakonia/Messenia/Arkadia, even beyond The Valley of The Kings some of those sub-regions are hard to make out. The Tageytos mountains regions for example look similar covered/uncovered.

Alternatively feel free to PM me some screenshots of your map via imgur or something and I can try and see if any of it looks different to mine when I'm back near my console :)

Missed Valley of the Kings. Thanks for this. Especially the images. A lot of posts just list sub locations like I have the map memorized.

I finally got this trophy and my platinum!

Basically, I missed two regions overall. The first one was Apollo’s Refuge, which is north of Lestris, the small island that’s between Atoll Point and Cradle Of Myths.

The second one I missed was The Heights Of Thorikos, which can be found east of Greater Athens. Once I stepped on that one after 5-10 seconds of being on that region, the trophy unlocked.

I hope this helps anybody still looking. As a quick tip, I set it to Hide Completed by pressing L2, then closely zoom to see if any areas have yet to be de-fogged. Good luck!

To unlock this achievement you need to clear all of the fog from the map of Greece. This is likely to be one of your last achievements as it can prove quite monotonous. If you zoom into the map you can see each region is broken into smaller areas. You simply need to enter each area a good way and that entire area will then be cleared. You do not need to travel every nook and cranny, thankfully. Be wary of some of the smaller islands, the last place I unveiled was the tiny island called 'Kradia Isle' just south of Samos. It's very easily missed.

There is no need to explore all the question marks, just visit each region to open the entire map.

I was dumb for a very long time and could not understand what I missed. As it turned out, everything is simple, he is too invisible there on the general map.

In the area of ​​the island of Milos you need to visit all the islands, even though there are no icons there.

It’s worth studying the map carefully, my last region was on the island of Naxos called “Marble Bay”

It is necessary to open not only “terrestrial” regions, but also water ones. There should be no sea drawn on the map.

For the trophy you need to visit the island, which is at the bottom of the island of Kythira + as said above, you need to visit all the waters, in the corners of the map

You need to go through all the islands. Don't forget, there are also islands near Kefalonia. It is best to run along the shore on horseback, as you will most likely miss the islands

In the very top left corner (on the map), an area with water may not open

My problem area turned out to be the “Foothills of Eastern Taygetos”. It is located on the border of Messinia and Laconia.

I opened the entire map, but the trophy did not fall, I even postponed it for later. But when I was going through some side quest, I teleported to a previously visited island and just moving along it (for about 5 minutes) a trophy fell. In general, it’s clearly buggy

Friends, don’t forget about the tiny island of Kradia! It is located directly below the island of Samos. This nonsense ate up a lot of my time, so I’m sharing my experience with you:

My last unexplored location after 7 hours of searching and re-visiting almost the entire map was the “Kiteron Foothills” area in Megarid, and there were two question marks on it, apparently because of this I ignored this area. When you complete this trophy, be extremely careful when examining the map.
