MYTHOLOGY
"Mighty Zeus, king of the gods, needs a hero - and he wants you! To satisfy Zeus, you'll need to battle monsters, swim the depths of the ocean, and descend into the mysterious underworld. Will you emerge a hero like Hercules, or face the fiery wrath of Zeus and his thunderbolts?"
First, enter the museum to your left. There will be a mini cutscene. Now go right, up the 2 stairs, and grab the starfish on Poseidon's face. Then exit.
Go left, to the tree of immorality, and go up the flight of stairs.
How to get to the top: 1. Climb the snake's tail to your right, then go left to climb the snake's neck. Land on its head. 2. Jump on the spot with honey above the snake's head. 3. Go right, across the coiled-snake body, and jump up to the branch on your right. Then jump on the mushrooms. 4. Go left until you reach a broken branch (and a sleeping snake). Climb up and jump right off the snake when you reach the end of the snake. Keep going right until you reach a centaur. |
Now exit the jungle and walk right, and the goddess Athena will approach you. She will explain that she will help you, simply click the golden olives in the trees when you need help. Afterwards, go all the way right until you reach the musical temple and enter it. Then, walk right until you approach a poster that reads "FREE REED PIPES!" Grab a reed pipe. |
Now, go left into the hall of the statues, then jump up to the statue holding a reed pipe (Euterpe, muse of music), asking her to teach you a song on the pipe. You will proceed to a mini-game, just repeat all the notes she plays on the pipe (the sequence varies for everyone, but will end once the red note is hit.) When you finish, she will give you a specific pipe tune that will put Cerberus to sleep.
Exit the temple, and now, we will start collecting all five items for Zeus.
Flower from the Garden of the Sphinx
Run all the way left, entering the Garden of the Sphinx. Then, tap on the shiny withering flower, and this will awaken the Sphinx. She will say a confusing riddle, but fear not! Go left and jump up (you can jump on the wings of the Sphinx), and first pick some pomegranates. Now, come back down, run to the right side of the garden and jump up. You will see a vertical wooden plank; tap on it to lower the bridge. Now, jump upwards to the left corner, where a stream of water is flowing. Click on the lever to divert the water path. Then, follow the stream of water to the next lever, and keep clicking until the water reaches the dirt ground. You will pull 4 levers and push 2 bridges over. Finally, the flower will come alive! Collect the rare flower.
Golden Ring from Minotaur
Now, still in the Garden of the Sphinx, go left and up until you reach a door with a minotaur head on it. There will be a flowery passcode on the door; play those notes in order of the number from 1 to 8 on your reed to open the door. (Hint: Play blue-blue-green-yellow-yellow-red-blue-green.) Now, enter the labyrinth.
When you enter the maze, Athena will give you a magic cord so you won't lose your way. Follow my video tutorial below to navigate through the labyrinth:
Hint: You have to also arrange the bones in the middle of the maze to spell "TEN".)

When reach the end of the labyrinth, head right and click on the image on the wall of the Minotaur. To pass this final test, you must click on a red-eyed snake 3 times. You have to be fast - It pops out then back in within seconds! Now, exit the labyrinth to your right. Talk to the Minotaur, and you will receive the ring from the Minotaur, as well as a warning regarding Zeus. Now, exit the maze. |
Scale from the Hydra + Giant Pearl
Head right, out of the Garden and all the way right, until you reach a water temple - Poseidon's Temple. Enter the temple. Then, head right and place the starfish on the altar in front of the door. Now, enter and head left on the beach until you reach a larger woman in pink - she is Aphrodite. She will quiz you on Greek gods, but once you answer all the questions correctly, you will receive a touchscreen mirror.
The answers to the quiz is: ARES, HERMES, APHRODITE, ARTEMIS, HESTIA, APOLLO.
Once you receive the mirror, head left and down into the ocean.

When you go down, you will enter another maze. Make sure you grab the bubbles to replenish the oxygen bar! Head right and down to the bottom, then head all the way left to an entrance of a den. Before entering, go up and grab the giant pearl from the clam. Now, enter the cave and go left to the hydra. To defeat the gnarly creature, get near it so it shoots a head out towards you. Be careful not to be hit by it, but instead, jump on top of the head to knock it out. Do this to all five heads. Once the hydra is completely knocked out, click on it to grab the hydra scale.
Now, leave Poseidon's realm and using your mirror, teleport back to Aphrodite (the bottom heart icon), then leave Poseidon's temple and go left, to a bone temple - Hades' Temple - to find the last sacred item.
Whisker from Cerberus
When you reach the outside of Hades' Temple, talk to the guy holding a pail, and he will give you a drachma, once you cleanse all the graffiti off the temple. To do this, click on a section of the temple with graffiti on it, then hold your left mouse down and erase all the vandalism. Do this for all three graffiti phrases on Hades' temple.
Now, enter the temple. Go right, and place the pomegranates on the bone alter to open the door.

Once you walk through the doors, go right and fall into the abyss. You will arrive at the infamous River Styx. Talk to the ferryman to take a ride on the boat.
Now this next part was kinda tough for me, but once you know the sequence, it should get fairly simple. Firstly, you must avoid all objects to make it to the other side. The boat will keep moving; you need to either jump or duck.
The sequence is: a falling stalactite, a flaming skull, a crocodile of the Styx. This pattern repeats five times, each occurring at a slightly different interval.
Be careful, you can run off the boat (oops). Run to the front of the ferry and stay there to avoid the stalactite. For the skull and crocodile, just jump when they near you, staying near the front of the boat.

When you successfully reach the other shore, you will encounter Cerberus. Take out your reed, and play the pattern to put him to sleep: blue green yellow blue red green. When the large dog falls asleep, quickly go near it and grab the whisker from Cerberus!
Assembling it all together
Now, teleport (with your mirror, click the lightning icon) back to Main Street, then head left to the Tree of Immorality and talk to Athena. You will have to assemble all five parts of a message from the five sacred items, and when you do, it will read:
Before you can act, Zeus will appear and steal all five items! You will find out that he was using you from the beginning, and with all five items he will rule all of Poptropica! Athena urges you to seek Hades and Poseidon for help, but first you must ask Hercules to aid you as well.
Go right and enter Herc's Hero Hut. Go right again and talk to Hercules. He will accept your offer; now teleport to Poseidon's temple (left trident icon)! When you reach the underground cave, Hercules will stomp on the rock to break it. Go down and enter the throne room. Next, go right and talk to Poseidon! He will give you his very own Poseidon's Trident to stop Zeus! Equip his trident.
Next, go out of the room and back to Hercules (click on Hercules). Now, teleport to Hade's Temple (right skull icon)! Hercules will push the boulder out of the way; enter the throne room and go right to speak with Hades! He will give you his very own Hades' Crown to stop Zeus! Equip his crown. Now comes the final task... |
Defeat Zeus!
Click on Hercules again, and teleport back to Main Street (the top lightning bolt icon). He will smash the padlock open, now enter it to get to Mount Olympus and confront Zeus!
But hold on...
Hercules is defeated by the gorgon Medusa, and it is up to you to fight Zeus! Keep going right.
You will reach a blue guy named Aeolus who sells a bag of wind for a drachma. Buy one with your drachma, and it will give you temporary ability to fly upwards. Go up.

Keep climbing up until you reach a staircase covered in pink clouds. Now go up there, Zeus awaits you! Walk left and right until all four lightning bolts light up. Then, you will witness a cutscene, and with the two god's equipment, you turn into one yourself! Now go and defeat Zeus!
Tricks on defeating Zeus:
- Keep collecting pink clouds! Each pink cloud resembles a life.
- Click to shoot a lightning bolt at Zeus! If it hits him, a health bar shows below him, which will gradually decrease as you keep hitting him.
- Avoid getting hit! When he shoots out 8 lightning bolts at once, flying to a corner greatly increases the chance you won't get hit.
- When he is about to blow a gust of wind (which, if it hits you, removes a cloud), fly in a different direction so the wind won't hit you.
- Right when Zeus finishes his attack, approach him very closely and rapidly click your mouse to keep firing at him. Make sure you have enough time to escape before he charges his next attack.
- When Zeus reaches 40% or less health, he will add an extra attack of an orbit of electric balls around him. During then, he is invulnerable! If you shoot at him then, the lightning bolt will rebound and come back at you! For the electric balls, fly to a corner and wait for them to come, then fly away before they hit you. Then go back to Zeus and keep firing when he is no longer glowing white
- After every orbital attack, Zeus will glow white again, becoming invulnerable. Once again, fly to the sides or corner, because he will dash at you and if he hits, you will lose a cloud.
-The lower Zeus' health, the faster he charges each attack, which means the less time you get to shoot at him in between! You have to take advantage of every time gap to keep chipping down his health.
