The Challenge of Poseidon
|
|||
|
Walk forward and a scene takes over almost immediately. There's a fight
against a new type of enemy here, of course the three headed dog Cerberus.
Also fighting along side it are little mini-cerberuses which get rather
annoying quickly. I recommend using the Blade of Artemis here for heavy
damage. Here's the main thing you're going to want to keep in mind, you
absolutely must kill these little cerberus things regularly, indeed it is
possible for them to fully grow and become large versions, having a whole
bunch of these on the field at once is just death plain and simple so try and
catch them in a Poseidon's Rage spell as often as possible. An email from
Justin L has suggested using the Medusa Head here to make defeating the
Cerberus easier, sounds like an effective tactic if you ask me. Once it has
been taken care of open the multicoloured chest at the top and then head left.
There's another chest here beside a large crate and some cyclops enemies
running in from the background, dispose of them quickly. There's about a
million archers around the corner, I imagine that crate is used as a shield so
you can get close to them without taking damage, but I just run up to them and
slashed them all to death. Whatever works for you I guess. Run to the end of
the path being sure to destroy the mini-cerberuses on the way and take out all
the archers beside the red forcefield. When they're all dead it opens.
There's a lever in the middle of the room, here's how it works. When you pull the lever the room starts spinning and obviously the door where you came from is going to lead to different places. Well for starters it leads to a chest containing red orbs but what you need to do is open the chest very fast and get the orbs from it, then jump back out again before the gate closes on you and you die. There's four chests each containing red orbs on the way and the fifth one is your exit. You'll have to fight a new type of enemy here but there's nothing special you really need to know, attack and block like you've been doing all along. I'd recommend not spilling Coke on your controller, yeah, I just did that. Anyway run to the left side where the large chain is and jump up the wall, you can start climbing by grabbing onto the ledges. When you reach the top head right and you'll find a chest, inside this chest is a Muse Key. Jump back up and crawl around to the left side, you'll find two minotaur enemies here. Follow the path to the top where you will find both full healing and full magic chests beside the save point here. In the next room you'll find a long sloping path and a lever with no handle. Drop down and run up to the top of the path. Examine the door in this room and pick up the handle on the right side of the room. Run back and place it into the lever, begin turning to lower one of the cages. Push him over the edge and start to push him up the hill. When enemies spawn prop him on some of the broken concrete and fight them off. Continue to do this until you're up at the top of the hill. Manoeuvre the cage around and set it on the button behind the lever. Now be a man, pull the lever and burn the flesh from him bones. Doing so opens up the door. Run down to the bottom and examine the shiny object in front of the statue to receive Poseidon's Trident. Using this you can swim underwater by pressing the square button while swimming. Use the save point behind the statue and then jump into the water on the left side. Climb up the ladder and open the chest to get a Phoenix Feather. The chest on the other side has some green orbs inside. To proceed further jump into the right pool and swim to the lower end where you'll find a waterway going down. While underwater you can press and hold the R1 button to do an underwater dash, this breaks through cracked objects in your path. Defeat all the mini cerberuses on the other side and then open the chest on the left to get another Gorgon Eye. Open the door and pull the lever to reveal a new path behind the Poseidon Statue. Return there and defeat the two large cerberus enemies along with all the stupid harpies that get in your hair as well. Climb up the newly formed stone blocks and head down the path. Jump into the water at the end and start swimming along underwater through the ruins. You'll encounter a Nyad but there's nothing you can do with it, swim down and go through the small tunnel at the upper right. When you come to a fork turn right and you'll come to an opening carved into a mouth shape. Stop at the entrance and charge the R1 dash to dash into the room. Keep charging the R1 dash to make it all the way through without being harmed. Continue along underwater until you have a chance to come up. You need to defeat all the enemies here in order to lower the forcefield around the lever. Pull it and a gate opens. Now jump back down into the water and swim back to the fork where you made a right turn, and make a left turn. Pop out of the water and defeat all the soldiers here. Break through the wall at the top to find about a million urns and at the end a treasure chest containing a Muse Key. Return to the fork once again and head down. This next area is where you opened the large door to you can head up now. There's an underwater save point right in the next room. Use the R1 dash to break through the wall on left of the save point and swim up from the Nyad to reach a room with four chests each full of juicy red orbs. Head back and swim deeper down when you reach the Poseidon statue but not too far, stop when you see a chain right below you. Attached to this chain are a number of large barriers that will hurt you if you come into contact with them. The basic idea is pretty simple, these things and moving quickly across and will kill you if you're caught by them. At the bottom are areas you can swim down into to let them pass over top so here's what you do. Wait for one to pass and then swim down, charge the R1 dash and launch yourself to the left. When you stop moving you'll be right above one of the safe areas so hold square to swim down there. When the next one passes hold triangle to swim up, then do the R1 dash, when you stop do it one more time and swim normally for whatever distance you have left to cover to make it to the next safe area. After this you can swim normally to the end and descend down the circular waterway. Swim until you reach a very large room and surface. There's a save point on your lower left. Defeat the three minotaur enemies that appear here and make sure to get the multicoloured chests found on both the left and right sides. There's a lever in the centre, pull on it to raise up a path leading up to the top. This is a temporary path so when the levered is pulled, be sure to mosey along. On the other side both the left and right chests contain red orbs. Now here's what you need to do. Jump back in the water and swim to the lever again. Pull it but this time don't jump across the platforms instead jump into the water on the left side. Swim to the bottom and the back of this whole area, at the bottom of the largest pillar is a secret room, when you go in there and the pillars descend when the time is up it acts like an elevator. Follow the tunnel where it pops you out and surface at the end. It seems that we are back here once again. Save you game and leave the room, battling through the enemies with the yellow shields along the way. Return to the room where the large cylinder threatened to crush you and climb the stairs again. This time you can jump into the water on your left and swim down that circular hole along the path. Follow it and you'll pop out at a rather nasty looking area. On the right side of this field is a doorway you can break open using your normal attack. Save your game in here and run to the end where you will find a couple of treasure chests and a ladder. Ascend the ladder and follow the hall to pop out at your next challenge, The Challenge of Hades. |
