Defeating the Caledonian Boar
If you are so inclined to venture off the big ledge to
find a hunter listening for the big boar, you'll have to stock up on spears to help him
out. You'll also find those boar traps come in handy. Pick up the boar traps and proceed
directly south through the small tunnel in the bushes. Then go west a couple of paces
until you run into the spear salesman. If you have money, he'll sell you spears, and you
better get them now, before the boar finds him. After you've stocked up on spears (if
you're lucky enough to have avoided the big boar), move back into the main area where you
first saw the hunter and get ready. The Caledonian Boar will neatly burn passageways in
the hedges that make nifty little mazes to go round-and-round. This makes it really easy
to lay traps and stand in a convenient place to throw spears at the boar when he's busy
spitting fire. Keep this up and he'll soon go out in a blaze of glory with a defeated cry.
If you're ambitious and running low on health, there's a
heart that will restore your health in a blocked area just northwest of the main landing
where you first saw the hunter. Run up to that area, hoping the boar will follow and get
him in a position to burn an opening into the ledge. Once he's done that and moved on to
another area, pick up the heart and use it if you need to.
Drumming the Drum
Some boats go faster if you can get the workers to pick
up their pace. The best way to get them to row at a faster speed is to get the pace maker
to let you help. Just get right in there and hit the drum, the faster you hit the drum,
the faster they row and the quicker you get to your anticipated location! With Atlanta,
just hit the drum with your bow and arrow. With Herc, just use your club. With Jason, use
your basic attack.
Level One Walkthrough
After starting your adventure and defeating one Cyclops,
you'll immediately notice another annoying giant perched on the ledge as you round the
corner. If you're playing Herc or Jason, you'll find, much to your dismay, that spears and
special attacks don't reach up where the Cyclops is standing. If you're playing Atlanta,
you're at a particular advantage with her arrow-barrage. Hold down the attack button,
place the cross hairs over the Cyclops and let it go. After four special attacks, the
Cyclops will no longer remain standing! This particular enemy (as with many others
throughout the game), once defeated, offers a special reward that can be collected at the
nearest Bonus Pedestal. Once you've defeated the enemies in this area, you'll come across
a gate. Once through that gate, you'll see the first Bonus Pedestal in the game, and if
you have defeated that Cyclops, you will see one drachma bonus waiting to be taken.
Save Game Scribes: How to Find Them
To save a game you must find a scribe who will
record your journey for a drachma or two. Here's how to find the first scribe: After you
battle the skeletons and find yourself swimming in a pool of water at the bottom of a
waterfall, proceed directly south from that waterfall. You'll have to navigate past some
pesky Hags and a dilapidated, overturned boat, but there's a scribe hiding out just past a
ledge you'll find. Jump down off the ledge, get rid of the skeleton henchmen and save your
game because you're about to fight the Caledonian Boar!
Faster, Faster
Some boats go faster if you can get the workers to pick up their pace. The best
way to get them to row at a faster speed is to get the pacemaker to let you
help. Just get right in there and hit the drum, the faster you hit the drum, the
faster they row and the quicker you get to your anticipated location! With
Atlanta, just hit the drum with your bow and arrow. With Herc, use your club.
With Jason, use your basic attack.
Unlimited Gyros
When you're in CRETE you'll find one gyro. Pick it up, go down the walkway until
the music changes, then return and take another. Keep doing this until your
stock is full
CPU Controlled Jason
Start a two player game, and pick Atlanta and Herc (You
need 2 players!!). Then, after you beat Hades and do all of the tasks for the
rest of the Gods, go back to Hera. Go to her and she will talk to you. Do this
for all the Gods and then go to Egypt. The first Martian you kill will die and
come back to life as Jason! He will now be controlled by the computer. He will
follow you around and help you. And he's Invincible, so send him head first into
battle
