Using a Torch in AC Odyssey

A Guide and Walkthrough for Assassin\’s Creed Odyssey

In Assassin\’s Creed Odyssey, a torch is a useful tool for illuminating dark places like caves and for setting enemies or items on fire. This page provides guidelines on how to use a torch from your inventory and when to activate it.


You can always use a torch as your character carries an unlimited amount of these items. Even if you drop or lose a torch, you can always take out another one.

To equip a torch, hold the right button on the d-pad (available on both PS4 and Xbox One).

The main reasons for using a torch are:

  1. Illuminating caves and other dimly-lit places.
  2. Setting war supplies on fire (refer to picture 1). These chests are located in forts, camps, and other military facilities. Hold down the target button, aim at the torch and press the throw button to throw the torch towards the chest. Destroy the war supplies to reduce Nation Power in a given region.
  3. Setting the silos on fire (an example is shown in picture 2). These are large objects, but you can also destroy them by throwing a torch at them. The silo will explode after a while, and the influence of the region\’s faction will be weakened.
  4. Setting enemies and wild animals on fire.

FAQ

1. How do I equip a torch in AC Odyssey?

To equip a torch in Assassin\’s Creed Odyssey, you first need to make sure you have one in your inventory. Once you have a torch, simply press the directional pad on your controller or the corresponding key on your keyboard to open up the inventory menu. From there, select the torch and equip it. Now you can use the torch to light up dark areas or set fire to objects.

2. Can I use a torch as a weapon?

While a torch can be used to light up dark areas, it is not a weapon in Assassin\’s Creed Odyssey. If you\’re looking for a weapon, there are many other options available to you, including swords, bows, and spears. However, you can use the torch to set fire to objects, which can be useful in certain situations, such as burning down enemy camps or lighting up a path.

3. How long does a torch last?

The duration of a torch in Assassin\’s Creed Odyssey depends on a few factors, such as how often you use it and whether you\’re holding it up or not. Typically, a torch will last for a few minutes before it burns out. However, if you\’re not using it and it\’s just hanging from your belt, it can last much longer. Keep in mind that you can always find more torches in the game world, so don\’t worry too much about running out of them.

4. Can I use a torch underwater?

Unfortunately, you cannot use a torch underwater in Assassin\’s Creed Odyssey. If you find yourself in a dark underwater area, you\’ll need to rely on other sources of light, such as bioluminescent fish or underwater torches. Keep in mind that some areas may be too dark to navigate without a light source, so make sure you\’re prepared before diving into the water.
