Walkthrough for Wrath Of The Gods
Introduction
This
walkthrough gives explicit instructions on playing WRATH OF THE GODS to a
successful conclusion. It does, however, assume you have read the Game
Manual and are familiar with the various methods of controlling your actions.
The
game uses compass directions (north, south, east, west) to help you find your
way around. I have avoided this in this walkthrough, as it often not easy
to orient
yourself between the scene and the map. Instead, I direct you relative to
the screen: right, left, up or down.
Although, the walkthrough usually makes use of the map unnecessary, I assume you will make use of the map when the directions are not detailed.
General Hints
Money
Money
is in the form of gems. Most everything costs two gems. You will find single
gems in many different places but there are two re- newing predictable sources
of
gems:
Arrange
the alphabet blocks east of the Chimaera. Read the Easy Money paragraph in
the main body of the walkthrough.
When you have up to two gems you can gamble on any of the fruit machines at
the Chariot ticket offices and win two gems. Don't gamble when you have
more than two gems, or you will lose.
Taking Risks
Don't
be afraid! Do so. In fact you will probably have more fun, dying and seeing
what the gods have in store for you, rather than getting everything right
the first
time. I recommend deliberately failing the first, or even second, attempt
at solving a puzzle when your life is in danger!
Chariot Stops
Use
the Chariots by all means. They cost two gems a flight and it seems to take
just as long to get from A to B. But take the chariot at least once, just
for the
experience.
Opening Scenes
The High King of Mycenae and his daughter, Princess Dione, are in Dione's chamber with her baby son. Dione will not reveal to her father who fathered her baby.
A
visit to the Oracle fills the King with such dread that he forces Dione to
abandon her baby. Dione's son is found and raised by a centaur. The young
man is sent out
by the centaur on the hero's path. At this point you take control of the hero.
Finding a Sword
Leave
the centaur by walking to the left and then down to the riverside. Talk to
the two women. Carry the older woman across the river. You will meet Hera
for the
first time. Return to the other side of the river and carry the young woman
across the river. She will offer you her necklace. Take it.
Walk
to the left along the path, until you see the soldier and the civilian. Pick
up the branch. Talk to the soldier and you now find yourself in jail. Take
a look at the
bucket...sorry! Pick up the wooden stool and use it on the small hole in the
wall to the right until you have made a hole big enough to escape through.
Walk outside.
From
the bloated rams, go left to the Avalanche. Note the glistening at the top
of the pile of stones. Pick up the gray rock on the path. Pick up the gem
and pick up
the rock again.
Head
right past the bloated rams and talk to the peddler woman at the altar. Give
her a gem and you will receive a honey cake. Put the cake on the altar. Pick
up the
snake.
Go
right to the four way intersection and head up to the Boulder. Pick up the
branch. The idea here is to see if there is anything interesting under the
boulder. Use the
rock as a fulcrum and place it next to the boulder. Use one of the branches
as a lever and try to lift the boulder. If the branch breaks use the other
branch.
Underneath the boulder, you find some smelly old sandals and a rather fine
looking sword.
Killing The Hydra (+50 = 150 points)
Continue
along the path until you meet the torchbearer. Pay him a gem and he will guide
you to the Hydra. Cross the water to the Hydra. Get out your sword and
take on the Hydra. Looks like you need some help! Return to the left and talk
to the torchbearer again. Return to the Hydra. Attack the Hydra with your
sword
again. Each time you cut off a head, the torchbearer will cauterize the neck
wound so that the Hydra can not re-grow. Once the Hydra is well and truly
dead, leave
on the right. You will meet Hera again. Remember the password "IO".
Leave to the right.
Creating and Defeating the Seedmen (+25 = 175 points)
Head
up the path and talk to the peddler woman. Pay the peddler a gem and she will
give you some elixir. Go down the path to the field. Pick up the bag of seeds
and sow the seeds on the field. Several seedmen will grow and line up ready
to take you on in single combat! Attack the seedmen with your sword. Pathetic!
Drink
the elixir. Try attacking again. Better, but you are not strong enough to
defeat all these guys. Perhaps you need more elixir?
Head
right, then left to Hades . Go into Hades, then left into the cave. Pick up
a sledgehammer and try to leave the cave. If you can not leave, replace the
sledgehammer with the one that is second from the left. Leave the cave. Leave
Hades and go left to the Chasm. Push the dead tree over and walk over the
chasm.
Head up the path to the Warehouse. Break down the door of the Warehouse with
the sledgehammer. Go inside. Pick up the vat of elixir, the oars and the gem.
Leave the Warehouse.
Return
to the seedmen. Attack the seedmen with your sword again. Drink the contents
of the vat of elixir. Try attacking again. You now have the strength to knock
these guys off one after another...but they just keep coming, endlessly. There
must be another way!...Throw the rock at the seedmen and watch them fight
each other
to their ultimate deaths.
Dealing With Sciron (+25 = 200 points)
Leave
to the right and head up the path to the cliffs to meet Sciron. Talk to the
bandit. He will demand that you wash his feet. When you get bored doing this,
touch
Sciron. Woops...now you are in Hades. You have to get across the River Styx
to leave. Talk to the shade on the right. Now go down and right until you
meet
another shade. Talk to her. Note where the coin falls from. Pick up the coin.
(There is a short cut cave here but it only saves you walking through one
screen.) Return
left to Charon and his boat. Click the coin on your head and Charon will take
you across the Styx. On the other side, talk to Sciron and he will tell you
how to deal
with Sciron. Leave Hades and return to the cliffs.
Talk to Sciron again and wash his feet again. This time touch your foot and you will send Sciron to Hades!
Visiting the Castle
Return
to the four way intersection and go right and up to the castle. Walk round
to the servant's entrance. Knock on the door and go in. Talk to the high king.
And
take a seat at the banquet and talk to your hosts. When asked, pick out the
insignia on the left. On your sword is the same symbol. When the king recognizes
you as
the long awaited hero, show him the sword. Then show the ring to the king.
He will give you a video scroll from your mother. Go into the other room via
the door on
the right. Step on the panels in this order: Light Green (Spring), Bright
Green (Summer), Yellow (Autumn) and White (Winter). Open the jewel box and
take the
tiara.
Making Friends With the Water Nymph
Leave
the castle. Take the path to the right to the pool. Jump into the pool with
the nymph! Talk to the nymph. Get out and jump in again. Repeat this until
the nymph
repeats herself and gives you the helmet of invisibility.
Risking and Avoiding Bee Stings
Get
out of the pool and go left to the bees. Take some beeswax out of the beehive
in the tree. Go back to the pool and jump in to escape the bees. Get out of
the
pool.
Easy Money!
Go
left past the bee tree and past the temple. Continue left until you reach
the alphabet blocks. The blocks are moved by clicking the hand cursor on the
block you
wish to move to an empty position. Click the hand cursor _above_ the empty
position to place the block here. Rearrange the blocks in the correct order:
alpha, beta,
gamma and delta and a gem will be revealed. Take it. Each time you return
here rearrange the blocks to reveal another gem.
A Plethora of Heroes
Return right and take the path up to the peddler woman. Talk to her then take her carrot (she will not offer the carrot to you...just grab it!).
Go
right to another cave entrance to Hades. Go in and walk on until you meet
Hercules. Talk to Hercules, then take the path up and you will find yourself
in the dark.
Eat the carrot. Walk through the caverns until you reach the bottom right.
To the right you will encounter Orpheus. Take his lyre. Go up to the cavern
entrance above
and meet Theseus. Try to pull him free. You haven't the strength. You need
to get help.
Go
to the left where you will find your way blocked by Cerberus. Play the lyre
and Cerberus will fall asleep. Walk past him to the Treasury of Hades. Click
on the
red button, then select Pluto. Take the gem. Leave to the left, pull open
the rock slab and go through to the entrance. Return up to Hercules. Talk
to him and he will
return with you to Theseus and pull him free. Talk to Theseus, but he will
only give you a hint on how to get past Cerberus, which you have already done.
Leave the
cave as before. Re-enter the cave and travel right across the Elysian Fields
until you reach Jason and Perseus jousting. Talk with them, then take a staff.
Return to the
outside, talking with Perseus on the way.
The Graeae and the Corynetes Arena
Once
outside, go left to the horse. Head left to another cave entrance. Go in and
talk to the Graeae. Take the eyeball when it is the hand of the hag on the
left. Take
the bow rather than the club for now. Leave the cave.
Go
left to the Corynetes Arena. Enter the arena and talk to the barker. Accept
the challenge with Periphetes by taking the barker's club. Strike a blow by
clicking the
hand cursor on Periphetes. Another pathetic challenge!
Leave the arena and return left to the Graeae. Take the eyeball as before then take the club.
Return to the arena. Accept the challenge this time by clicking the club on Periphetes. Strike blows using the club. You win the prize...a lump of lead!
The Argo and the Clashing Rocks (+25 = 225 points)
Leave
the arena, go left, past the Graeae cave, the horse and the entrance to Hades.
Walk by the Cyclops. At the Mycenae Chariot go right to the beach. Continue
right to the ship, the Argo. Take the hardtack out of the barrel. Climb on
the boat. (Miss the next step out, if you wish to die and meet Zeus! You will
get another
chance to get it right.) Throw the hard tack at the clashing rocks. Click
the walk cursor on the clashing rocks to take the ship through.
When
you encounter the siren, put beeswax in your ears and take the tiller. Look
at the siren as the ship goes by her. Note the order she plays the notes in:
2, 1, 3, 4.
Take the beeswax out of your ears.
The Golden Fleece (+50 = 275 points)
When
you land on the beach, go right to the beach front taverna. Talk to the bartender
and take the wine. Wow! Take the bottle of wine. Go right and talk to King
Aeetes. Take the path up to the Golden Fleece. Try to take the fleece and
a fire-breathing dragon will prevent you. Only try the following if you want
to have new
experience in Hades! (Actually it will be worth your while.) Otherwise skip
the next paragraph.
Attack
the fire-breathing dragon with your sword. Crisped! You are transported to
Tantalus and Tartarus. Pick up the gem. Talk to Tantalus and reach for the
grapes. Go right. Use the sledgehammer on the stalagmite. Leave the cave and
return to the Golden Fleece.
Play the lyre, plucking the strings as follows, from the left: 2,1, 3, 4, and the dragon will fall asleep. Take the fleece.
The Cyclops
Leave
the sleeping dragon and return to the beach. Head left past a cave mouth and
your way back will be blocked by the Cyclops. Give the wine to the Cyclops
and he will fall asleep. You can now walk past him when you need to.
Learning About Medusa
Return
to the sleeping dragon, via the beach and then take the path up and then to
the right. From the Mt. Pelion Chariot stop, go right and then straight on
to
Medusa. Walk to the right ignoring the spoken cautions and you will be turned
to stone when you look at Medusa.
Hermes
will bring you back to life and give you a fat covered bone. Return to the
temple east of the nymph's pool (via Mt. Pelion Chariot stop, left to Corynetes
Arena, down from horse and then right). Offer the fat covered bone to the
temple. Try to enter the temple. You will be told to purify yourself before
you can enter.
Go right, past the bee tree, to the pool and jump in. You are now purified,
so return left, past the bee tree, to the temple and enter. Walk toward the
frieze. Pick the
left most God(dess) Athena. Talk to Athena and she will give you a mirror.
Leave the temple.
The Midas Touch
Return
to the Mt. Pelion Chariot stop. Go right, then right again. Pick up the gem.
Continue right along the path, through the market place. (If you have 2 gems,
buy
the eye chart at the market place.) From the Hesperides Chariot stop, continue
left past the mountains, then turn right.
When
you reach the tree, pick the red apple. Dionysus bestows the Midas Touch on
you and your apple is turned to gold... the explosion blasts a path through
the
hillside. Ignore this short cut for now.
Mount Olympus
Walk
on to the right past the tree to Mount Olympus. Climb Mount Olympus. From
the terrace enter the doorway to Hermes' bedroom. Walk very carefully round
both corners of the bed and take the flying sandals from the pillar to the
right of his bed. Leave, again walking carefully around the bed. You may wake
Hermes but
you will keep his flying sandals. From the terrace, climb over the balcony
and down the mountain. Leave on the right.
Dealing With Medusa (+25 + 25 = 325 points)
Take
the short cut made by Dionysus. Go left then up to Medusa. Arm yourself with
your sword. Take the mirror then look at it with the eye cursor. Attack Medusa.
When she is injured, put on the helmet of invisibility and the flying sandals.
Try to walk away and you will lop of her head, keep it and then fly away.
Taming Pegasus and Defeating the Chimaera (+50 = 375 points)
Return
to the short cut path at the ruined buildings. Go right then down the path
where a glow can be seen on the skyline. Use the flying sandals to fly to
the source of
the glow. Pick up the golden bridle. Fly back to the path.
Return
to the right, go up the short cut path from the ruined buildings to the tree.
Go left to Pegasus. Put the bridle on Pegasus. Take the staff. Sharpen the
staff with
your sword. Use the lump of lead to put a tip on the lance. Ride Pegasus to
the Chimaera. Only try the following if you want to have a new experience
in Hades!
Otherwise skip the next paragraph.
Use
the sword on the Chimaera and you will die...and be transported to Hades to
meet Sisyphus. Push the boulder up the slope and keep pushing. Leave to the
left.
Push the rock slab aside. Go through and exit down to the outside. From here
you will have to go back to Pegasus' field and ride him to the Chimaera again.
Use the lead tipped lance on the Chimaera. You return successful to Pegasus' field.
Pan and His Pipes
Go
left until you meet Pan. Talk to Pan, then continue left, then up the path
to the beach. Use the oars to row the boat to the island. Pick up the reeds
and string.
Return in the boat to the beach. Leave on the right. Go left to the peddler
woman. You need to clear the fallen pillar away and you don't have the strength.
Go right
and return to Pan. Put the reeds on the path in front of Pan. Use your sword
to cut the reeds to size. Use the string on the reeds to make some pipes.
Give the pipes
to Pan. Pan will clear away the fallen pillar. Take the pipes from Pan. Walk
to the left.
Argus
Talk to Argus. If you have the eye chart, show it to him. Play the pipes to Argus and he will fall asleep. Walk past Argus.
Caenus
Talk to Caenus. He says he is invincible. Try Medusa's Head on him. Not so invincible after all! Walk by Caenus.
Hera
Talk to Hera. She will transport you to the beach. Swim out to the ship. Talk to King Minos.
Exploring Knossos (Arrival, Daedalus)
Talk
to King Minos. Leave the arrival hall on the left. Take the wooden shafts
of the ceremonial axes. Go through the doorway to the left. Try to take the
bottle. Try
to pet the bird. Pick up the feathers. Go through the doorway on the right
to the workshop. Talk to Daedalus. Take the candle on the shelf at the back
of the
workshop. Leave on the left and walk down the corridor to the left. Go to
the doorway on the right. When you are prompted to enter a password, type
"IO". Go
through the doorway.
Bull-Leaping (+25 = 400 points)
Watch
the bull-leaping, then try it for yourself. You will need to practice. First
click the hand cursor on the bull then click again on the bull as it is moving.
When you
succeed in leaping successfully over the bull, you will win the bonus points.
Practice some more, then leave on the left.
Exploring Knossos (Throne Room, Garden, Dione)
Go
left to the throne room. Pick up both vases. Leave on the right. Talk to Princess
Ariadne. Flirt with her, plead for a kiss, then say INEEDHELP ("I need
help"
with no spaces.) When she asks for the magic word, say PLEASE. Take the ball
of thread. Open the door on the right. Fire!...Hurry now! Go back into the
garden
and fetch water using one of the vases. If the vase leaks, use the other vase.
If the vase breaks, use the other vase. When the fire is out, pick up the
ember. Go
through the door on the left. Go left to Dione. Give her the tiara. You are
probably getting the hint by now about your final task!
Escaping Knossos
Leave
Dione and go out to the terrace. Remember what Daedalus was doing? You are
going to make wings. Put the sticks, feathers, candle and ember on the
ground. Make the wings. Use the wings to escape from Knossos.
Bowmanship (+50 = 450 points)
You
will land on the beach near the clashing rocks. Make your way to the Mt. Pelion
Chariot stop. Go up the path to meet the centaur. Talk to him and hand over
your golden apple. Use your bow to shoot at the targets. This is very difficult,
but practice.
Go
to the field where you found Pegasus and go down. Walk up to meet Atlas. Use
your bow and shoot at the obnoxious dragon. This is even more difficult as
there
is a time limit. Keep trying. You will only get maximum points if you defeat
this guy.
Hera
Go
left and continue left until you reach Argus' arch. Take the path through
the arch and up the steps to the entrance where Caenus stood guard. Go through
to meet
Hera. To return to Knossos, walk straight ahead toward the view. Talk to King
Minos.
At Sea
Talk
to the sea gull...Sorry! Talk to King Minos. You dive in to recover the ring.
You will be eaten by sharks unless you follow these directions: North, North,
East,
North, East, East, South, South, East. Go right up to the mermaid.
Labyrinth and the Minotaur (+50 = 500 points)
Talk
to Minos outside the labyrinth. Go right until you reach the large stylized
bull horn statue. Go up then left, then left again. You should find the Minotaur
here. Did
you practice bull-leaping? I hope so! That's what you have to do now. Click
on the minotaur to get him charging, then click on him again so you can leap
over him. If
at first you don't succeed, try and try again! When you have succeeded, punch
the Minotaur several times on his nose, a few times on his body and again
on his nose
until you knock him out.
Leave
on the left. Walk up, then right to the bull horn statue. Then continue left
to the exit. (Alternatively, you can use the ball of thread (clew) that Ariadne
gave
you.)
Conclusion
You
will now meet you father. You may have met him before... Zeus. Enjoy the closing
sequences.
