The Battle of Olympus (オリュンポスの戦い) is set in ancient Greece.
A mortal man named Orpheus receives help from the gods and nymphs in
his quest to save his lover Helene from Hades. People often compare
this game with Zelda 2 because of its similar gameplay.
This movie is 9:11 faster than Arc's version, mostly
because of the utilization of a gameplay-altering glitch: pressing
Left+Right simultaneously in order to make Orpheus move with almost
unlimited velocity growth. The trick is documented at Battle of Olympus Tricks.
The route used in this movie is decided by a few things the hero (Orpheus) must do:
- Collect three fragments of love in order to activate the Tartarus entry.
- Get a key to access the second fragment's location.
- Get the Eyeball of Graeae to see invisible doors (to access the first fragment's location).
- Get a sword in Peloponnesus. It is needed to kill the three-headed guardian with respawning heads (Cerberus) in Tartarus.
- Collect 60 olives in order to buy the ocarina, which will be needed to cross the sea to get to Crete and Tartarus.
- Get a harp in order to call Pegasus. It makes the route faster.
