 Forum of Zeus

o forward, make a right to follow the hall to a ledge overlooking a pool. Jump in and swim forward under the ledge into a passage, then surface in a room with a button (Image 1) and stairs leading up. Hit the button to release the underwater bridge, then climb the stairs and hit a second button (Image 2) to extend a platform by the pool. Read the sign and return downstairs, dive in and swim into the pool, then go to the underwater lift on the right and take it up to the upper ledge. Walk across the floorplate at the top of the lift to lift and rotate the underwater bridge.

    Drop to this bridge and turn to enter the corridor, following it until you reach a dark area with deep recessed windows (Image 3). Climb into one of the windows and look down on a fountain and medusa. Drop to the narrow red ledge outside the window carefully, then creep around the ledge right to the cracks (Image 4). Break out the cracks and hit the button for Mars Prize #3 (Secret #1).

    Jump down in the courtyard and exit through the doorway left when facing the fountain. Walk left and right to the dark walls (go left, wall on right; go right, wall on left) and walk against them to move them (Image 5). Follow the passage to a room with a button and stairs. Hit the button to lower a small extension out at the main pool area. Go downstairs and take the first passage on the right. Pass the room with the three artifacts on inaccessible shelves on your left, continuing to a room with three buttons (Image 6).

    Press the button on the left to "Choose Life Above All Others", then return to the room with the three artifacts and notice a new passage on the left wall (Image 7). Take it up the stairs to the urn, then hop down. Return upstairs, past the button, then into the passageway where the dark wall moved. Two new spider nests have opened, and in one you will find a cracked wall (Image 8). Break it to get a Ring of Turning and press the button for Mars Prize #4 (Secret #2).

    Leave, go past the fountain, upstairs and around the dark recessed windows, eventually returning to the room with the main pool. Dive in and take the lift on the left up to the upper ledge, then go around to the left where the extension lowered and enter the doorway (Image 9). (This is a good place to knock archers into the water with Repulsion Discs and let them drown). Follow the hall right to a room with a Tome of Power and many pillars.

    Dash through Zeus's lightning blast into a room with 6 giant lenses misaligned. Align them (Image 10) by walking over both floorplates on either side of the lenses. Exit the way you entered, but notice a narrow stairwell leading up on the right by the lightening mural (Image 11). Go up these stairs and walk around the catwalk, grabbing the Invisibilty Sphere at the end, then continuing around to the exit leading to the catwalk over the lenses. Walk up to the raised center bridge (Image 12) over the lenses and walk on the small floorplate to release Zeus's lightning and concentrate it through the lenses, blasting open a stone entrance at one end.

    Hop down and go through this new entrance, down stairs, to Zeus's Throne Room (Image 13). Crouch all the way to the throne and collect the Silver Bar. If you wish, you can trip the beams and endure shock blasts, kill every regular archer, then a secret room with a horshack and health vials opens opposite the throne (Secret #3).

    Exit the throne room, go upstairs past the lenses, take the narrow stairwell (Image 14) on the right to the catwalk and jump down past the lightening mural to avoid it. Go back around the main pool ledge to where you began the level, to the exit leading to Hall of Heroes, enter.


3 Secrets; Objective Order: Align the Giant Lenses to Access Zeus's Throne Room; Grab the Silver Bar from the Throne.
