If players do not kill Nikolaos and manage to keep Stentor alive, the two characters will appear with the protagonist in this Assassin's Creed Odyssey ending, but unfortunately, Myrrine and Deimos cannot join because they are dead. The dinner's mood is still stilted and the protagonist asks Stentor to pass the wine, but the man drinks all the alcohol before saying that they are out of wine.
#6 - Myrrine Lives At The End Of Assassin's Creed Odyssey
If players decide to do one of the worst decisions in this Assassin’s Creed game by killing all major characters except for Myrrine, she will return to the house with the protagonist.

#5 - Myrrine and Nikolaos Reunite In An Odyssey Ending
Myrrine and Nikolaos will be reunited in this Assassin's Creed Odyssey's ending, and although it will be a reunion of old lovers, the recent loss of their children and the weight of their past are still pressing on their shoulders.

#4 - Assassin's Creed Odyssey's Deimos Is Convinced To Go Home
Players must avoid one of the worst fights in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey that will end in Deimos’ death by convincing them to abandon the cult. Unfortunately, this is not an easy task and requires a lot of right story choices. If players succeed, they will see a heartwarming scene where Deimos pokes fun at the protagonist's table manners and Myrrine agrees with their sentiment.
#3 - Deimos Is The Only One Who Dies In Assassin's Creed Odyssey
If players only fail to save Deimos in Assassin's Creed Odyssey, they will still get Nikolaos, Stentor, and Myrrine to attend the dinner. Nikolaos attempts to start a conversation by saying it's nice to be there, but Myrrine sharply replies that not everyone makes it, showing how deeply Deimos' death hurts Myrrine.
#2 - Stentor Dies In Assassin's Creed Odyssey
If players beat Assassin’s Creed Odyssey without managing to save Stentor, only Nikolaos, Myrrine, and Deimos will join the protagonist in the awkward dinner. Nikolaos tries to break the ice by asking Deimos if they want to go hunting with him the next day. Deimos accepts after some encouragement from the protagonist and Myrrine, which reveals that the family has a chance to move past their trauma.
#1 - Everyone Is Alive In Assassin's Creed Odyssey
To obtain the best ending in Assassin's Creed Odyssey, players must ensure the survival of everyone, and unlike other endings, the atmosphere is more relaxed, with every family member being happy and open with each other. Myrrine and Nikolaos will attempt to impart some important life lessons, but Deimos and Stentor will quickly get distracted and start a friendly brawl while the protagonist will stand up and offer to get more wine. The best ending in Assassin's Creed Odyssey is a great and sweet conclusion for a family that has suffered countless heartache and tragedy due to the Cult of Kosmos, and unlike many endings, all family members should have an easier time moving on from the past and building a better future.
In the end, players can decide for themselves which endings they consider best, especially considering that some fans cannot forgive Nikolaos for his actions and may feel that the endings where he does not survive are the best ones. Other players may dislike Deimos for their participation in the Cult of Kosmos, which causes the death of Phoibe, and they may prefer endings without Deimos in them. Still, it is generally a better idea to keep major characters alive to obtain the best ending in Assassin's Creed Odyssey where Alexios and Kassandra can reunite as siblings and allow the characters to become a new family.
