MYTH (Magnetic Scrolls) (?)
Solution:
KILLING THE HYDRA:
In the tranquil garden you find a foxglove, a flat stone and a small stone.
Get the leaves from the foxglove and, using the small stone, grind them into
liquid on the flat stone. Dip the trident in the liquid. Go to the hydra and
throw the poisoned trident at the ninth head. When the hydra collapses cut
off the ninth head with the trident. Get the head as you will need it for
another puzzle later in the game. You can now open the gates & pass through
them.
CATCHING THE LAMB:
Climb the tree in the garden and wait until the lamb is directly beneath you
then jump down. You land on the lamb and break it's neck. Put the lamb on
the altar to recieve help from the gods later in the game.
TRAVELLING THROUGH THE SWAMP:
This is unneccesary once you have opened the gates. There is a reed in the
garden which you can put in your mouth to enable you to breathe in the
deepest part of the swamp.
GETTING THE IMPORT LICENCE:
If you have put the dead lamb on the altar then you can try to take a coin
from one of the souls. The gods interfere and reincarnate the soul and give
you a bag of obols that you can use as your stake in a game of blackjack
with charon and death.
HOW TO WIN AT CARDS:
Cheat!! Hang your sheild on the nail in the hut and sit on the wooden chair.
Charon conveniently sits on the broken chair with his back to the sheild.
You can then see his cards and adjust your betting accordingly. I had to win
1471 obols before I broke charon and forced him to settle his gambling debt
with an import licence. Don`t forget to retreive the sheild as you will need
it again.
GETTING THE KEYS ACROSS THE RIVER:
Take the large gold key and the small gold key and go on to the ferry. Drop
the large gold key on the ferry and leave it there. Wait until you reach the
other side of the river then leave the ferry and drop the small gold key.
Back on the ferry and wait. Leave the ferry and get the large silver key.
Back on the ferry and wait. Leave the ferry and drop the large silver key.
back on the ferry and wait. Leave the ferry and get the small silver key.
Back to the other side and drop the silver key. Board the ferry again and
travel back. Leave the ferry and get the large bronze key, take it to the
other side and drop it. Return for the small bronze key. Board the ferry and
get the large gold key, wait then leave the ferry collect the other keys.
ENTERING THE PALACE OF HADES:
West of the palace is a rope hanging from a slot. Tie the hydra`s ninth head
to the rope (note scavenging birds overhead). Go east, one of the birds
makes a grab for the head and conveniently opens the portcullis, go north
and you`ve entered the palace.
SEEING IN THE DARK INSIDE THE PALACE:
Open the large bronze door and go through. Open the large silver door and go
through, open the large gold door and go through. Here you will find a
mirror. Break it into two pieces and go back through the gold door. Put the
small piece of mirror on the pillar, it reflects a shaft of light. Go back
through the gold door again and put the sheild on the pillar. Open small
bronze door, go through and put the large piece of mirror on the pillar.
Open the small gold door and go through. Here you will find the helmet you
have been seeking. 'Take helmet' to complete the game.
