poptropica mythology island

A lot of the big boss fights in Poptropica are difficult to win. While looking through the comments for the Mythology Island Walkthrough, I saw that a lot of people are really having trouble beating Zeus in the final battle for that island. He is a pretty tough opponent, but the good news is there are some really simple strategies on how to beat him. Check out this video for a short guide on how to defeat Zeus in Mythology Island. I’ve also written up the techniques below.

It’s All About the Clouds

If you do only one thing (well, besides shooting) in your battle with Zeus, it should be collecting those pink clouds. They are your life force. Each time Zeus hits you, you lose a cloud. If you lose all your clouds, you fall from the sky and Zeus wins. So keep getting clouds! Really.

Attack and Run Away

Zeus has the same basic attacks and in between those, he’s pretty vulnerable. So quickly move in to shoot him and then run away. You especially want to run away when he turns semi-invisible because he’s invulnerable to your attacks in that state. So move off to the side and wait a few seconds before going in for another attack. What should you be doing while waiting? Yes, you guessed it! Gather more clouds!

Eventually, you can easily wear down Zeus if you follow these simple directions. I think most people are really just having trouble because they don’t back off and take the time to gather up more clouds. Remember to keep switching between offense (shooting Zeus) and defense (picking up more clouds) and you’ll win easily.

I think that the hardest part of Mythology Island is the Red-Eye snake puzzle in the Minotaur’s Labyrinth. A lot of people agree and one of the biggest questions/complaints in the comments for my Mythology Island Walkthrough is, “How do I get past the Red-Eye snake puzzle?”

If you haven’t played Mythology Island yet, this puzzle is hard. You have to “catch” the red-eye snakes by clicking on them. But they move really fast and only stay visible for a short time. So it’s kind of tough to move your cursor to one when it appears and click on it in time. That is, until now. Watch this video for a really great cheat that’s simple to do and will finally help you finish this really challenging puzzle.

If you can’t view the video, here’s a quick explanation of what’s going on. When you right-click your mouse in Poptropica, the action freezes up but you can still move your mouse. This gives you all the time you need to re-position your cursor so that it will be right on top of the snake’s head. So it now is really easy to catch the snakes. Just right-click as soon as they appear, move your mouse, left-click twice and that’s it. You’ve caught the snake. It’s a pretty lame way to win the puzzle but if you’ve been frustrated or stuck for a long time, try this so that you can proceed on your quest.
