We’re Treasure Hunters Starting Location
Begins on Keos in Poiessa Village immediately after turning in side quest We’re Not Thieves.
Objective: Acquire the Sunken Artifact
There is a ship dock right next to the stall where you meet Obelia. Summon the Adrestia and sail to the southern tip of Keos to the location of the Minoan ruins.
Once in position, call Ikaros to tag the chests as well as any of the sharks in the area. Eliminate all of them with your bow before attempting your dive. If you find that the sharks are too far out of range, you can swim for a bit in the water to entice them to the surface where they’ll be easier to hit.
Once its safe, dive down and loot the chests in the ruins. One of them will contain the Minoan Artifact quest item.
Objective: Return to Obelia
If your first thought is ‘that waypoint seems to be a lot closer than it should be’, you’re absolutely right. Head back to the surface and you’ll find that Obelia has come to watch you work, bringing her massive Pirate Bireme with her.
You can swim over to her ship if you want, but I’d recommend that you instead swim back to your own ship and bring it alongside Obelia’s ship before you board it. Talk to Obelia for your reward and…
…oh, right. Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Its up to you whether you hand over the treasure peacefully to immediately complete the quest.
(Optional) Objective: Kill Obelia
The other option, the one that I personally preferred, is to refuse to hand over the artifact and demand payment. You will then have to kill Obelia to complete the mission.
For extra credit, I also killed everyone on the ship, then set it on fire to watch it burn. Dealer’s choice.

Another way to finish. After I got the treasure and returned to the surface, a Spartan ship started attacking Obelia’s ship. I swam out to try and board her vessel and complete the quest but they kept moving around. In the end, I boarded the Spartan ship and killed all the crew. But…two Athenian ships were now attacking Obelia’s craft and they ended up destroying it, and then I got the Quest completed message!
I did the conquest battle before returning to Obelia. Her ship got caught up in the middle of the fight, and I mistook it for a Spartan vessel, bombarded it with fire arrows, rammed it, boarded it, slaughtered the crew, and only clocked that it was Obelia who’d been poisoning me as I landed the killing blow and the mission completed.
You Can Also Recruit Her To Your Ship, Knock Her Out At One End Of Ship, Then Head To Other End, Kill Off Her Crew, You Can Also Get Her Captain, Mine Fell Off The Ship And Got Eaten By Shark Before He Could Climb Back Up…lol
I just Spartan kicked her ass overboard. She didn’t want to go under cuz of the sharks right.
I dove overboard when she refused to pay and I demanded payment. Then I dived to avoid fire arrows until I got to shore. Quest completed. I shortly came back with my own ship and rammed her to splinters. I had sailed there on one of those small fishing skiffs.
I got lucky i did not know she was a traitor but i was parked with my ship right beside her, you can guess the rest…a little jump, then hellfire! :p
