  1. Abstract We present an efficient algorithm to compute the Euler factor of a genus 2 curve$$C/\mathbb {Q}$$ C / Q at an odd primepthat is of bad reduction forCbut of good reduction for the Jacobian ofC(a prime of “almost good” reduction). Our approach is based on the theory of cluster pictures introduced by Dokchitser, Dokchitser, Maistret, and Morgan, which allows us to reduce the problem to a short, explicit computation over$$\mathbb {Z}$$ Z and$$\mathbb {F}_p$$ F p , followed by a point-counting computation on two elliptic curves over$$\mathbb {F}_p$$ F p , or a single elliptic curve over$$\mathbb {F}_{p^2}$$ F p 2 . A key feature of our approach is that we avoid the need to compute a regular model forC. This allows us to efficiently compute many examples that are infeasible to handle using the algorithms currently available in computer algebra systems such as Magma and Pari/GP.
