Update: The complete Mythology Island Walkthrough is here!

The twelfth main island to be released on Poptropica is Mythology Island. It was released first to Poptropica members in early access mode on April 1, 2010. Everyone will get a chance to play on April 29 when it becomes available to the public.

Here is a little bit of explanation of what Mythology Island is all about from the promotional page on the Poptropica Web site:

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?

In this mission, you’ll get a quest from Zeus, king of the gods and need to perform several tasks. Along the way, you’ll explore different areas, like Poseidon’s underwater kingdom of the sea and the Underworld, domain of Hades. Here are the items you’ll need to find on your quest:

A flower from the Garden of the Sphinx
The golden ring of the Minotaur
A scale from the Hydra
A giant pearl from the kingdom of Poseidon
A whisker from Cerebus, the guardian of the Underworld
