THE CASTLE
The castle is the
main section in this game. There are 10 big portals in the
castle which lead to the worlds. Use the Halo to return to
this castle when you are in a world. Explore the whole
castle to find all the items, remember the rooms with
fairies and keep defeating enemies to gain experience and
coins, keys and arrows. I've created a MAP of the castle a few years ago, it shows the
locations of all items, world portals, fairies and
other interesting places.
THE CHARACTERS
You're able to
switch between 2 characters during the game.
POPOLON: The bravest and most respected knight of
the castle.
Advantage: Popolon can destroy rocks in 3 hits and can
jump higher than Aphrodite.
Disadvantage: Popolon can't stay long under water and can
only shoot or put 2 weapons at once.
APHRODITE: This girl is the Greek goddess of love and
beauty.
Advantage: Aphrodite can stay long under water and she
can shoot or put 3 weapons at once.
Disadvantage: Aphrodite needs 15 hits to shatter a rock
and she can't pass the rotating doors. She is not able to
shatter the weak walls.
Note: Some items effect some of
the disadvantages.
THE FAIRIES
Fairies are in the
rooms with the flashing rings.
Stand for 5 seconds on the right location in these rooms to
make a fairy appear. Catch her and she will heal your
wounds. The 3 rooms are listed below with the right
location.
 Room 1
Room 2
Room 3
SECRETS & TIPS
All the Coins,
arrows and keys will reappear when you reset the game and
enter your password, you can also use the bible
again.
Start the game and press F2 then
type the code ZEUS, now you're able to continue when the
game ends.
There's a trick to shatter rocks
from above: stand on a rock and jump, strike with sword just
before you land on the rock, you will also get it's
contents.

shrine

and arrows and a full vitality bar.
Go to the room located in the
left under corner of the castle (the room with the pendant)
if you've run out of keys, coins or arrows. Defeat the white
star above the upper platform with an arrow. You'll receive
4 coins, 20 arrows or a key. Leave the room and repeat the
progress.
Some of the stairways you'll
climb will disappear. They will reappear when you are 4
rooms away from them. Step from the last step of the
stairway to avoid this process.
PASSWORDS
Press L at the title
screen to enter the password screen. There you

Jonas Astrand has cracked the
password system of this game.
Jonas: "The two last figures or numbers binds the rest
together. you can for example write xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx, and
so on, as long as you have the patience to try out all
combinations of the last two figures!" Below you can see an
example.
THE WORLDS
There are 10 worlds.
Each world has a guardian. The items you'll find in the
worlds will only work in the world you've found them. Use
the halo to teleport back to the castle. Defeat all the
enemies in a room when you're stuck, most times a stairway
will appear or wall will disappear.
Below you can open the world
maps. The rooms where you have to defeat all the enemies are
marked with a yellow border and the big red arrow is the
