Mythology Island

Mythology Island is the 12th island released on Poptropica. It was available to members on April 1st, and to non-members on April 29th.

Plot Sypnosis
You are a hero who must save Poptropica from Zeus, who has decided to rule over Poptropica. But before that is revealed, he sends you on a quest to retrieve 5 special items from all over the island. After you've finished the quest, Zeus then betrays you and steals the items to keep it for himself. In the grand finale, you must battle Zeus in his kingdom and try to save Poptropica! Along the way, you'll encounter many strange and wondrous beasts from the Greek Mythology. You'll meet several Gods and Godesses, battle terrible creatures, and solve different and difficult tasks as you undertake this epic journey.

Walkthrough
You can always come back and visit Hades, Poseidon, and even Cerberus and Styx (the river ride will only have hazzards one way) but Hydra is down for the count and Zeus is never seen again (Athena now has a missing father, no!) Bad news is, Hercules remains a petrified stone statue. But good news is, the kid atop the Midas Gym is a fan of you!
 * As soon as you arrive, go to the Museum of Olympus. There, you will see the story of Gods and Godesses and their rivalry. At the statue of Poseidon, take the starfish from its' face. Exit.
 * Go right to the Grove of Temples and enter the Temple of the Muses. At its far end, obtain the Reed Pipe and go to the statue of Euterpe, muse of music. She will test you, then teach you a song that can calm down the underworld beast Cerberus. Exit.
 * Go left to the Olympus Village, and left again to the forest with the Tree of Immortality. Climb the steps and up into the branches.
 * Climb the serpents and bounce upwards on the mushrooms, to reach the Satyr at the upper right. Collect 10 of the Honey Pots in 60 seconds and he will show you the way to the Golden Apple.
 * Zeus angrily appears and offers you immortality if you collect 5 sacred items for him in the Realms of Creatures and Gods. As listed on the Sacred Items Scroll, they are:
 * 1) A Flower from the Garden of Sphinx
 * 2) A Ring from the nose a the Minotaur
 * 3) A Scale from the Hydra
 * 4) A Giant Pearl
 * 5) A whisker from Cerberus, the underworld beast.
 * Leave the tree and you'll find Athena, Zeus' daughter. She warns you that her father may have secret motives. She arranges you to use the olive trees as a source of information. She also gives you a glowing thread.
 * Go left across the Bridge to the Garden of Sphinx. You will have to open the aqueduct switches and push down the two wooden gates to start the water flowing again. Collect the rare flower and get pomegranates from the tree above the Sphinx.
 * Use the Reed Pipe at left and play the eight coloured notes on the wheel that opens the Minotaur cave. (blue-blue-green-yellow-yellow-red-blue-green)
 * Go in and speak to the Minotaur. Enter his Cave Maze. Earlier, Athena gave you a glowing thread. That will keep you from getting lost. Head for the Weapons Displays to stay on track. At the Pan Bones, remove the bones so that the remaining one will spell out TEN. Jump the scorpion in the pit. Click the red-eyed snake when it appears, three times (It will be hard to spot that snake. Takes a few tries).
 * Take the Minotaur Ring and go back right to the Olympus Village. At the Hero Hut, you can ask Hercules for help, but he is uncooperative. Exit.
 * Go right to the Lair of Hades (below) and Poseidon (far right). You can play these at any order but Poseidon's is easier. Enter the lair and place the starfish on the altar to the right.
 * Go through and cross the beach to meet Aphrodite, Athena's sister goddess. Pass her test to get a magic mirror that allows speedy travel throughtout the realm. (The Gods/Godesses are Ares, Hermes, Aphrodite, Artemis and Hestia).
 * Dive into the underground cave in the lake. There are three oxygen bubbles, but the direct path is across the top, then down to the right side, and left along the bottom. Before entering the Hydra cave, go up a bit to find the Giant Pearl.
 * Battling the Hydra - when each head stabs out at you, jump up and land on top of it. Swim below to get the scale form it. Exit using the mirror Aphrodite gave you and reach her by clicking the heart symbol. When you arrive, walk back right to Hades.
 * At the Realm of Hades, earn a drachma from the worker by cleaning some graffiti from the outside of the building.
 * Enter and place the pomegranates you got earlier on the altar to the right. It'll open a door that leads to the Realm of Hades. Jump right into the chasm to reach the River Styx.
 * During the River ride, avoid the dangers -- one falling stalactite, one flaming skull, and one river monster. Move forward or backward to avoid falling rocks, duck or jump the flaming skull, and jump the river moster.
 * When you arrive at the shore, use the Reed Pipe and song (blue-green-yellow-blue-red-green) to lull Cerberus and get a whisker from it (you cannot move the large rock blocking the Throne Room.
 * Then, when you've gotten the whisker, use the mirror to teleport back to the Mount Olympus Gate.
 * You now have the five items. (Yay! 3 second celebration! 3...2...1...) Head left to the forest, and Athena will be there. You must assemble the items to reveal a secret message: "Whoever weilds the five sacred objects will rule all of Poptropica".
 * Zeus arrives and steals the objects from you (Oh no!) and Athena tells you to get Hercules so he can help you.
 * Go back to the Hero Hut and talk to Hercules. He'll agree to help you and then you go the Hades Throne Room using your mirror.
 * Hercules moves the rock and Hades will give you his crown to use for battling Zeus.
 * Use the Mirror to travel back to Poseidon's Lake. Underwater, Hercules opens the rock passage to the Throne Room and Poseidon will give you his trident.
 * Use the mirror again to travel back to the Mount Olympus Gate, where Hercules smashes open the pad lock.
 * On the mountain, Hercules encounters Medusa and is petrified into stone.
 * Use the drachma to buy a wind bag from Aeolus at his Wind Wagon. Use it to go upwards then climb the mountainside to reach Zeus' throne. Lighting the four statues will summon for the final battle.
 * Hades' crown and Poseidon's trident allow you to fly about as you and Zeus trade thunderbolt attacks.
 * Hit Zeus, and his health meter will go down. If he hits you, you'll lose power, as indicated by the pink clouds that hold you up. If you lose them all, you will fall and you have to start over. As you fly, gather the small pink clouds so that your cloud will get bigger.
 * Like Betty Jetty on Super Power Island, Zeus will eventually begin to glow and throw white spinning energy balls at you, and you must avoid them while you're also avoiding the bolts. So, you have to avoid his energy balls AND his thunderbolts.
 * He is only vulnerable to your attacks when he is not glowing.
 * After 6 to 10 sets of balls, you should have hit him enough for you to win. Zeus will return the sacred items to you.
 * Athena will give you the island Medallion! Congratulations!
