A Fresh Start question

[Les Yeux De Ni ni]

I hunted all 38 cultists including Hydra the Sage of the Gods of the Aegean Sea branch. Only 4 other Sea cultists remained.

i am curious if ignoring them (cos i revealed Aspasia) will be enough to meet her again.

That quest did not appear though.

Do i have to clear all cultists to reveal Aspasia's location?

Yes. You reveal Aspasia by killing all 8 sages. But you can only deal with her if all other cultists are dead. The conversation you will have with her wouldn't make much sense otherwise.

The conversation with her doesn't make much sense either way, and is the definition of "anti climatic".

^ Made sense to me when I saw the cutscene. It starts with Pythagoras telling you about Isu worshippers who believed in a balance between chaos and order, and the cult of Kosmos was a branch that embraced the chaotic side. The cult's original aim was to wipe Greece from corruption through sabotage and conflict.

So ideologically speaking, the cult was similar to the Assassins -- with the major difference in that they worshipped the Isu, whereas the Assassins that came after them understood the Isu's true identity and therefore did not think of them as gods. And in fighting Greek corruption, the cult themselves became uncontrolled & corrupt due to their own success.

Aspasia was once their leader when it was still relatively sane, but lost control when radical factions kidnapped your sibling -- who has Isu blood -- and groomed them to become their chosen one. She then had a vision from the Isu shards, telling her that the next step would be to form a new group whose plan was to groom a new chosen one to become a 'Philosopher King' - a ruling figure who can control the world through power but also with wisdom - which is believed to be Alexander the Great. This group would evolve to become the same group Bayek / Aya encountered and was the precursor to the Templars.

Aspasia then met you and schemed to make you wipe out the cult so she can start fresh. Yes, she made questionable choices, was directly or indirectly responsible for many innocent slaughters, and she's kind of a megalomaniac. You're judging her based her character, her intent & her actions.
