Grind: Start with the dummy to the right of the ladder, go clockwise. Once you get 50 coins, ladder jump(LJ) up, enter and exit scribe, and repeat until 650 coins. Once you have 650 coins, ladder jump and enter and exit again, but on this round of dummies start right of the drop off. After getting 700 coins total, drop down and leave.

Turn around and go other way. take small right path, flip switch enter thrace. destroy barrels for health only if necessary On left side is medallion. Get it then go to right side, look for house with broken boards. enter house Talk to guy buy the soft skin. leave town. go left on the river, take tunnel back to thraycus. enter thread shop, equip skin equip key and exit PJ up river wall where you exited from. This is frame perfect (i think) so watch WR vid for guidance. enter Thrace. switch characters exit to Alpsius, it is slightly right of where youre facing when you switch. run past enemies At fork, go left. Do this every time. Follow path to very end. Flip switch, go back till there is a small drop off on your right(not the ice bridge by the switch, a bit past that), enter Alpsius. Go left. There is a dude a ways down to the left of a building thatll sell you hard leather, buy it then leave. Walk back to thrace Switch characters. Return to thrace, go to thread shop, equip leather and talk to guy. Exit and go back to thrace. Do same PJ path. Go to Alpsius as Herc, taking same path, but dropping down at the end since you dont have to flip the switch again. Go right, and forward, equip letter. talk to second guy you see and get torch. Leave and go back to thrace. Once in thrace, equip torch and go clockwise around the outside and enter the second door you see. In dungeons, PC through all breakable walls. Dungeon 1. Two switches, push one farther from entrance first, then push one closer to entrance. Go to boss.

Here is an amazing graphic of the first dungeon, done by yours truly in paint. Circle is where you enter, box titled 1 is location of first switch, box titled 2 is location of second switch.

Minotaur 1 quick kill: circle around to other side of lava, wait a second for him to run up to lava, run around then punch him in.

After killing the minotaur, go back to Alpsius. Enter the cave right by the entrance. Talk to the guy there twice, back to back. Go in the left section and climb up the tower. Get medallion and jump down. Equip the stone thingy. Talk to guy right next to locked door. Equip key he gives you and open door. Youre now in the path to nespa you were in earlier, but now with herc. Go to Nespa. equip stone thingy and go all the way to the back to enter dungeon 2 bunch of walls you have to PC through. get key in first chest, then equip key and use it to open second chest, and so on. No quick kill for this minotaur has been discovered yet. Long jump into him and if he blocks run away. Get him to low hp (1 hit from 0) and hit the gong to raise the lava. Hit him one more time so he gets dizzy, pick him up and throw in the lava.

the path to alpsius is only 1 way, so you gotta take the long way back to alpsius. Thraycus->Thrace->Alpsius. Go in cave again and talk to guy to get stone thingy for 3rd dungeon. Exit alpsius and go back to thrace. Go clockwise once to enter the path to San Tomanicus. There is a PJ you can do right at the beginning to dodge platforming and monsters (watch WR video)

Once inside San Tomanicus, go left to the dock and talk to lady on big boat. go then to the other water area and talk to the lady on the smaller boat to get the fishing net. there is a section of wall you can jump on, then jump off to get on the upper level faster. (Watch WR video) talk to fishing bait lady (first house right by where you jumped on) and buy bait Go back to big boat lady and give her fishing net and bait. Get Oyster Do the wall jump thing to get to the upper level, then go right 3 houses to get to the oyster shucker. equip oyster and get them oysters shucked. Go in the tavern, equip pearl and talk to lady on the right. get secondary key Go to dungeon, equip secondary key and put it in pedestal. buy final medallion from guy equip stone thingy and enter 3rd dungeon. Definitely the hardest dungeon to explain but here we go. So you need to get 3 keys and unlock 3 chests to get past the first area. those chests give you big keys for the second area you then find another key that unlocks another chest in the second area. you use those 4 keys to unlock the 3rd area, where you just gotta hit 3 buttons. Start by going right, making your first right turn, go through the spiky wall(either time it or damage boost) open chest for 1st key. go back,turn right and then after the left turn turn at your third right so there is more of the spiky doors. again, time or damage boost through for the 2nd key. go back and continue on. Watch out for the moving wall, and go left at the wall and go in the entrance. jump over gap and get 3rd key. go back to where the moving wall is and go in the other entrance to where the 3 chests are. use all the keys on the chests (each specific key only works on a specific chest) and get the 3 big keys. go back past where you entered the moving wall part and go all the way to the wall, and turn left. this is the only path that works, the other one kills you. after you cross the lifting platform part, go right and past the statue bit. there should be a chest. open it for a key. go back and take the other entrance . be careful, its another moving wall part. go right first, and equip the key you just got and use it on the chest for a huge key. then go the other way of the moving wall. insert the 3 big keys into the key slots. again, specific key for specific slot. then use the big key on the big keyhole. Like the first dungeon, you gotta push the buttons in this section. you can do it in any order though. I start by going left, then the one by the entrance, and lastly the one on the right since it ends up closest to the boss door. enter the boss door and hide behind the left pillar. use power punches to break it and once it breaks the minotaur should start charging at you. wait a bit then run behind the lava waterfall behind you. the minotaur should just die.

The rest of the game is pretty straight forward. Return back to Alpsius and get the last medallion, the zeus medallion from the guy in the cave. then you want to go to the Garden of Shrines. Just make a right out of Alpsius in Thrace, and its the first exit on your right. Visit all the little places to put your medallions in, with the zeus one being last (the one you push the block up) the portal to mt olympus will appear, enter it. Traverse mt olympus, getting the jewels as you progress. Once you reach the main area, loop around to the backside to keep progressing through Mt. Olympus. Talk to Serena on the left side to gain control of her. Jump down to the lower level, you should see a portal leading to the dragon fight. Dragon is super easy, just shoot it in the head using the 2nd c-up mode. Switch back to hercules (hes on the lower level, jump down after going right a bit) As herc, go left a bit, push a statue and jump in. at the top level, insert the 4 jewels. the order should be (if you jump up and go counterclockwise) Blue, Red, Yellow, Green. Enter middle pool and prepare to fight Ares! Ares fight isn't too bad, just long. For the first phase, run around him since his turn speed is slow, and hit him a bunch. when he gets dizzy, pick him up and throw him. 2nd phase, go to top right portal. do a similar thing by running around enemies. They drop apples so dont worry about HP. It's like 5 phases and theyre quick. Last phase is a little annoying. there's 3 ares's, and you gotta hit the one that has a white color when you hit him. Keep running around them a bunch to deal with their slow turn speeds, and slowly widdle him down.

Thats it! after you kill the right Ares, He says a few lines, and you're done! congrats, you just beat Hercules.
