Tisiphone#
| Move | Counter |
|---|---|

Bone Hydra (Lernie)#
Phase One#
| Move | Counter |
|---|---|
| Venom spray | Keep moving |
| Head slam | Move around to the side |

Phase Two#
| Move | Counter |
|---|---|
| Main-head laser | Circle around the pillars |
| Extra heads | Destroy the heads first |
| Full-screen poison orbs | Hide behind a pillar |
| Rotating heads | Move clockwise/counter-clockwise |
Recommended strategy

| Theseus (the hero) | Spear throw | Move sideways |
| Theseus | Shield rush | Get behind him and attack |
Phase Two#
When Theseus drops below 50% HP he calls in the support of an Olympian. His shout telegraphs which attack type is coming:
| God | Attack | Counter |
|---|---|---|
| Zeus | Full-screen lightning | Watch for the red ground circles |
| Poseidon | Massive wave across the arena | Jump or dash through it |
| Athena | Homing light orbs | Keep moving |

| Artemis | Homing arrow rain | Hide behind a pillar |
Recommended strategy
- Kill the bull first — otherwise he chases you nonstop

- When fighting Theseus, circle around behind his shield
- His spear throw can be deflected back at him with Athena’s dash
