Poptropica has a brand new advertisement building up. It’s promoting the DVD for the Percy Jackson and the Olympians movie, which is coming out on June 29. You’ll find the building on Main Street on most of the islands as long as your Poptropican meets the age requirements for the ad. It’s a pretty easy quest and there are some really nice rewards.

Don't forget you can costumize Percy, shaggy hair and all.
Head to Main Street on just about any island in Poptropica and go talk to the guy outside the ad building. Then go inside and you’ll meet Percy Jackson. Hey dude! He’ll tell you he needs help finding three items for Zeus, but that the Medusa is causing problems. Go inside the building and you’ll have 30 seconds to find the items. Along the way, you need to watch out for the Medusa. She’ll appear out of nowhere and if you get caught in her gaze, you’ll be turned to stone. Not good!
The three items are the winged sneakers in the lower left corner, the shield in the lower right corner, and the bow, which is up above the shield in the upper right corner. After you get all three items, you’ll appear in front of Zeus. Talk to him to claim your rewards which are the Zeus’ Armor outfit and a special Zeus’ Lightning Bolt. Pretty sweet rewards for just collecting three items in thirty seconds!
Zeus is looking a lot younger than in Mythology Island
You’ll probably notice that this version of Zeus is way younger than the one from Mythology Island. At first when I saw him I did a double-take. I guess in the movie he’s pretty young, but I skipped that one. I read the book but heard the movie was terrible.
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.
