The Road to Athens

Ascend the stairs and watch the quick scene at the top. Use the save point on
your right and then follow the left path down into the city. The main path
becomes blocked so head left into the tunnel here. The gate blocks you in so
you're left with a couple of hammer wielding minotaurs. The important thing
to note in here is that there is a button on the ground below you where if you
press it then the gate at the other end opens, but if you step off it then the
gate closes. If the solution to this is not already obvious then listen
close, lure one of the minotaurs onto the button and then use the Medusa's
Gaze to freeze him there. Now you can run to the end and get through the gate
while it's still open. Don't worry if you happen to run out of magic while
doing this, the blue orb chest near the top automatically refills after you
empty it. Open the chest past the gate to refill your health and then follow
the tunnel out into the the city area where everyone is running wild.
Jump up onto the roof of the second house of your right. You can break down
the door here and check inside the house to find a chest full of red orbs.
Break down the front door of the house across the street to find another stash
of red orbs. Next door you can jump up and grab the ledge above the front
door, and from here jump onto the roof where you will find a chest containing
more red orbs. Check inside the next house down the road on your left to get
a Phoenix Feather. From here continue to follow the road until it curves to
the left, when it does the house on the curve (on the right side) has a chest
containing red orbs if you jump up onto the roof and break down the door. Go
one house down still on the right side and through the front door is another
chest full of red orbs. A couple of houses down on the left side go through
the front door and open both the chests to find a Gorgon Eye and a Phoenix
Feather. A couple more houses down on the right side is a chest containing
red orbs. Check the second and third last houses on the left side to get two
more stashes of red orbs. Now smash through those blockades at the end.
Double jump across and grab the rope that is hanging down from above. Hold
the circle button to begin swinging and when you come to the highest point of
the swing press the X button to jump and you should be able to grab onto the
other rope. Before swinging across however hold up and the left analog stick
to climb. At the top you can jump left to find a treasure chest with many red
orbs inside. Now from here you can just double jump and land on the ground on
the other side. Continue from here down into the Athens Town Square.
