Patch Notes Reveal Fixes for AC Odyssey Underwater Locations Glitch

For a while, Assassin’s Creed Odyssey players have reported a glitch concerning the Child of Poseidon trophy. After looting all 42 underwater locations for a silver trophy, some players have found that the game doesn’t acknowledge their accomplishment. With the arrival of Patch 1.1.0 and 1.1.1, Ubisoft has addressed this glitch and much more. Both patches went live on November 29, 2018 and together weigh in at just under 3GB on the PlayStation 4, PC, and Xbox One.

Patch 1.1.1 serves as the smallest of the two and does the following:

Addressed an issue that prevented Tier 6 & 7 Burning and Poison Damage perks to work properly

Addressed various texture issues with robes on multiple characters.

Meanwhile, Patch 1.1.0 is much meatier. In addition to fixing underwater location woes, this patch also adds support for the December 4, 2018 launch of the Legacy of the First Blade DLC. Moreover, Patch 1.1.0 implements the recently revealed Mastery Level System, which will allow players to put their many Ability Points to further use.
