Recommended Level: 28+
Region: Starts on Keos
Requirements: Episode 7 of the story
Reward: Money, XP, Part of Xenia Quest Line for A Pirate’s Life for Me trophy & also a chance for Aphrodite’s Embrace trophy
Objectives:
- Acquire the Golden Feather of Ajax for Xenia
- Use the treasure quest item inventory to find the lost treasures
- Acquire the Golden Feather of Ajax from the bandit
Xenia’s Questline Starting Location
Acquire Golden Feather of Ajax
After finishing chapter 6 you will be able to go to the Island Keos and start “Birds of a Feather” which is part of Xenia’s questline. She will give you some treasure maps and you have to find the treasures marked on one of the maps. The trick to finishing the mission is to find out which one of the maps actually has the treasure. At the start you will receive 5 maps: 3 for a potential Feather spot and 2 others, which you can ignore right now.
Feather Location: The map you see below is the correct one for the Feather.
Head there and loot the big vases standing around the brazier.
You will find out that the treasure is no longer there because it has been taken by some bandits. Talk to the NPC standing by the stairs.
You can press “track nearby quest” or go in the quest log and track “Rumored Feather Location” to see the next waypoints. Go to the quest marker (see the location image below) in order to find the bandits in a small tomb area. Kill all the bandits and loot their bodies. One of the big guys has the feather collectible on him.
Bring the golden feather back to Xenia in order to start the 2nd treasure hunt “Sacred Vows“.
This concludes the Birds of a Feather Side Quest in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey (ACOD).

Dear,
During the birds of a feather side quest, the feather is not dropping. I have tried to complete this quest a couple of times now, but I am not able to do this. My quest tracker tells me to loot it from the bandits (who I have killed 15 times already), but it is just not dropping from them. Other guides have mentioned that it should drop from the larger foe, but I have never seen him, just smaller foes. I would like to know what I can do to get rid of this bug/glitch. I hope to hear from you soon!

Guards don’t have the feather it’s in the tomb just loot for it and in no time you will have it
The guard does have it. I dont know if it depends on the scenario but I killed the bigger guard and looted it from him.
Hi guys. I found out how to make the Birds of Feather appear.
The quest was not showing for me after finish the story. I look everywhere but coudnt found it. After that I went to my inventory and there was 2 maps given but XENIA on the previous quest. I never knew the maps where there, and had the signal of new item. I put the pointer on top of both maps and in the next instant the quest appeard. YOU NEED TO SEE THE 2 maps for the quest to appear.
