Twelve Labors, twelve ways to win
Each Labor ends with a boss, and every boss has a twist straight from the myths. Brute strength alone won't do it.
INemean Lion
Its golden hide turns blades. Stun it, then wrestle it with your bare hands.
IILernaean Hydra
Cut a head and two grow back, unless you burn the wound with fire.
IIICeryneian Hind
Too swift to catch. Strike only when she stops to graze.
IVErymanthian Boar
Lure its charge into the deep snowdrifts to trap it.
VAugean Stables
Smash two dams and let the rivers wash the stables clean.
VIStymphalian Birds
Ring Athena's bronze rattle to bring their lord crashing down.
VIICretan Bull
Stun it, grab its horns and ride it until it's tamed.
VIIIMares of Diomedes
They breathe fire. Douse them with water urns first.
IXBelt of Hippolyta
Her shield blocks every blow from the front. Kick through it.
XCattle of Geryon
Three bodies, three heads. Fell each one in turn.
XIApples of the Hesperides
Gather three golden apples to shatter Ladon's scales.
XIICerberus
No weapons in the Underworld. Wrestle the hound of Hades.
A story told between the battles
The adventure opens with Hera's curse and the Oracle of Delphi, and every Labor begins on a map of ancient Greece as a god, a king or Hercules' rival sets the challenge. Finish all twelve and Hercules rises to Mount Olympus.
Bosses grow enraged at half health and reach a final fury at a quarter, so the last moments of every fight are the hardest.
