Knossos
This quest can be found in Poiessa Village east coaost of Keos Island. This quest requires level 18. In this quest, with the ancient Minoan map and the Minoan chest key, you need to acquire a sunked artifact from the Submerged Minoan Palace. Kill the sharks that surround the area and loot the chest with the artifact. Knossos, also spelled Cnossus, city in ancient Crete, capital of the legendary king Minos, and the principal centre of the Minoan, the earliest of the Aegean civilizations (see Minoan civilization). The site of Knossos stands on a knoll between the confluence of two streams and is located about 5 miles (8 km) inland from Crete's northern coast.
Knossos is the largest of the 'palaces' erected by the Bronze Age Minoan civilization on Crete. Our present interactions with Knossos are the result of the work of Arthur Evans, who excavated the site beginning in 1899. His and later works revealed a highly complex civilization, of which previous material evidence was almost nonexistent.
Evidence of Bronze Age materials associated with Minoan development on Crete begins in the last part of the third millennium B.C.E. The palaces were first erected around 1900 B.C.E., and destroyed by earthquake around 1700, the 'Old Palace' period. The rebuilding of the palaces initiates the 'New Palace' period in the historical framework used by most, which lasted until another main destruction just before the 14th century, and the subsequent evidence of occupation by Mycenaean peoples.
The palace itself is a huge and sprawling architectural complex, like other Minoan palaces, which is thought to have had a wide variety functions in Minoan society. The structure was made of a combination of stone masonry, rubble, plaster and wood. Unlike the 'citadels' of the mainland, there is no evidence of fortification. The centerpiece of the palace was a large paved central court, which measures 27m x 49m at Knossos. The structure was accessed with raised walkways, usually leading to a propylon, or porch. Narrow corridors and ramps ran through the structure, connecting the entrances with rooms, hallways, and the central court, with staircases leading off to unpreserved upper floors. Artifacts discovered in existing rooms have led to the interpretation of their function, and occasionally even the function of the rooms in the upper stories above them. For example, the area of rooms directly west of the central court have been thought of have religious associations. Just to the north lies a bench-lined space considered to be a 'throne room' by Evans. Beyond those, a series of long narrow rooms, with pitted floors and lined with large ceramic wares, are interpreted as 'magazines' for storage. The rooms directly above these, however, are associated with 'banquet and state reception chambers' (Biers 35).
One signature feature of the architecture is the use of a single column in the center of doorways. Minoan columns varied in size and shape, often having a distinctive downward taper and flaring capital. Fragments have indicated that some areas were highly decorated, while other areas show evidence of being painted solid colors, most of often terra cotta red.
In artistic terms, Knossos has also produced significant examples of Bronze Age art. Specifically, the frescoes that decorated parts of the palace are now well known. Minoan frescoes generally include stylized depictions of animals and humans. Among the most famous examples form Knossos are a fragment known as 'La Parisenne' depicting a woman's face, one of flying fish and another depicting 'bull vaulting'. Many other important artifacts are drawn from Knossos, such as tablets with inscriptions in the Linear A and Linear B syllabaries.

As seen today, Knossos sits outside the modern town of Heraklion, and serves as a major tourist attraction. Parts of Knossos were reconstructed by Evans, including a large raised 'bastion' above the north ramp leading to the central court, and the outer west façade of the palace. Although such reconstructions may help visitors to visually interpret what the site would have looked like, Evans' use of modern materials has taken a serious toll on the alabaster ruins he built on top of.

Submerged Minoan Palace Chest Key
Submerged Minoan Palace in Assassin's Creed Odyssey is a location you'll visit during the We're Treasure Hunters Quest. The quest taking you to the Submerged Minoan Palace will have you searching for the Sunken Artifact. You will have to look for the chest with the Sunken Artifact underwater, while dodging sharks and keeping an eye on your air meter. Our AC Odyssey Submerged Minoan Palace sunken artifact location guide will show you where to find the artifact, as well as where to find the Minoan Palace.
Where to Find Submerged Minoan Palace – AC Odyssey We're Treasure Hunters Quest
To find the Submerged Minoan Palace in the Assassin's Creed Odyssey, you'll have to go to the southernmost point of the island of Keos, in Pirate Islands. The area you're looking for is Ancient Ruins of Kunastros. Once you accept the quest from Obelia (you first have to complete the We're Not Thieves quest), the game is going to mark the location of the Submerged Minoan Palace for you.
Once you get there, either by land or by ship, you'll notice that there's no buildings on the beach whatsoever. There's absolutely nothing indicating that there's anything below the waves. And yet, if you take a few steps into the water to the south, you'll notice something lurking below. Dive down, and you'll find the Submerged Minoan Palace.
Sunken Artifact Location in We're Treasure Hunters Quest – AC Odyssey Submerged Minoan Palace
To find the Sunken Artifact location in the Submerged Minoan Palace, the best strategy is to scan the area with Ikaros before wading into the water. There are two reasons for this. One, he'll mark the two chests for you. Second, Ikaros will also mark the sharks roaming around the area. Oh yes, of course there are sharks.
Dive into the left hole in the floor (or ceiling, I suppose). Keep going straight down until you hit bottom. Both chests are in that location, in separate corners of the 'room.' One of the chests will have the Sunken Artifact in it. However, to complete the quest, you have to loot both chests, so do so. You get pretty good loot from both, making it even more worth your while. All you have to do now is report back to Obelia, and the quest is over.
