Don’t Kill Nikolaos
The first crucial decision moment for Alexios (or Kassandra if you’ve selected the female protagonist) comes during the “Wolf of Sparta” quest in episode two. It is then that you’re presented with these dialog choices in conversation with Nikolaos:
“I’ve come to take my revenge.”
“I’ve come to get answers.”
The correct choice to make here to see the best Assassin’s Creed Odyssey ending is to select “I’ve come to get answers.” It’s obvious enough what the consequence of selecting the opposite dialogue choice here ultimately means for Nikolaos. However, this decision also has consequences for Stentor. Select to spare Nikolaos if you want to see the happiest ending to the family questline.

Tell Myrrine You’ll Get Deimos Back
The “Catching up Quest” is your chance to discuss old times with Myrrine. Myrrine inevitably mentions Deimos. It is then that you must choose one of these two dialogue lines:
“We’ll get her back.”
“She’s beyond saving.”
Of course, those dialog options will be slightly different if you’ve selected to play with the female protagonist. You’ll need to select the “We’ll get her back” or “We’ll get him back” dialogue option to see the best Assassin’s Creed Odyssey ending. That is a promise to save Deimos rather than abandon her.

Tell Nikolaos to Return to Stentor
“The Conqueror” quest has four subquests for which you must assassinate Boeotia’s champions. If you did not seek revenge against Nikolaos, you’ll meet him again in the “The Last Fight of Aristaios” subquest. It is then that Nikolaos mentions Stentor. The important storyline dialogue choice at this moment is:
“He doesn’t need you.”
“Go to him.”
Tell Nikolaos to “Go to him” to stay on track for the happy ending. Return to see Stentor when you’ve killed all champions. Stentor will still be somewhat infuriated, but your dialog choices will make little difference for what happens next so long as you’ve told Nikolaos to “Go to him.”

Tell Deimos to “Hold On”
The “Battle of Pylos” quest is another important story moment. It is there that the Eagle Bearer meets up with Deimos again. After exchanging a few words with Deimos on the battlefield, you can choose between these two lines:
“You made your choice.”
“Hold on!”
To see the best Assassin’s Creed Origins ending, you must select “Hold on” to try to help Deimos. You’ll get a chance to talk to Deimos a little more peacefully immediately after that during the “Doing Time” quest. Try your best to convince Deimos the cult is manipulating her. Selecting these dialog options should do the trick:
“It was the Cult’s fault.”
“The Cult is using you.”
“The Cult wants to destroy our family.”

Don’t Fight Deimos
There are two moments in the game when you get a choice to fight Deimos. The first comes during the “Memories Awoken” quest earlier in the game. At the end of a talk with Deimos, you must choose one of these dialog options:
“Not before I hurt you.”
“You’re still my brother (or sister).”
“I’m going.”
Don’t select the “Not before I hurt you” option to start a bust-up with Deimos. The “You’re still my brother” line is the best one to go for here. Aside from that, select the less aggressive dialog options and don’t lie.
However, the most crucial dialog choice is at the family questline’s climax. You must choose to say either:
“I don’t want to fight you.”
“You won’t leave the mountain alive.”
To complete the family questline with the best Assassin’s Creed Odyssey ending, you must select “I don’t want to fight you.” If you chose the right lines earlier in the game, you’ll now see the happiest ending. However, selecting not to fight at this moment can still result in a rather unfortunate ending if you fluffed your lines with Deimos earlier in the game.
The final dialogue choice for saving Deimos
So, that’s how you can get it all right to see the best Assassin’s Creed Odyssey ending. The most important thing to remember is that Alexios is trying to rediscover his real family, not kill it. To do that, you must convince Deimos to abandon the cult and not seek revenge against Nikolaos.
