The Isle of Kronos
Upon hearing that Gabrielle has been taken to the Isle of Kronos, Xena commandeers a boat to take her there. As she puts ashore on a small beach, she draws the attention of a giant Cyclops! He is not known to be friendly with strangers...
Sketch
= The idea is to escape from the beach you start on, go up the cliff, meet Ares, then destroy the Cyclops. The real story continues beyond since that's where the bad guys have taken Gabrielle.Walkthrough = The introduction cut scene would already have showed you that your company is not exactly wished for by this one-eyed monster throwing boulders; the Cyclops! That little boat which took you to Kronos isn't really helpful for protection from that bozo with an attitude problem up there! So turn to your right and get out quickly, avoiding the boulders as you proceed. (You have to do the following quickly since there's nowhere you can hide from the Cyclops). As you do, you'll notice two (still) boulders blocking your way. Get scroll#1. To the right of that, there are two more rocks hiding a secret area (in a green, bushy area). Go there first and stand as close to the boulders as possible. As soon as you hear another boulder being thrown at you, swiftly move away. The Cyclops won't hit Xena, but instead, the rocks blocking your way will be smashed. Ta-dah! Run inside this new, small green place and get the Armour Upgrade and the health power-up. Now get out of here. The next boulder obstacle is the one you saw first (to Xena's right as she steps out of the green area). Do the same run-and-avoid trick here. As soon as the Cyclops' boulder smashes the ones on the ground, immediately move away from the beach and up the hill, avoiding more rocks. Somewhere on the left is a path you can get into. Whew! Grab the health power-up. Take two careful running jumps over the ditch ahead. When you are on the other side, there is a Resurrection Jewel waiting for you. Take it and follow the path (leading left) before more rocks smash you. Ahead is a little waterfall. If you pick up scroll#2 in the middle of the water you can have a little "tea party" with Ares as he suddenly appears.
Ares:
"Well, Xena, looks like you're not doing so well. You failed your friends, made a long trips to this crummy place and you still have no idea what you're up against."Xena: "Ares? If you have anything to do with this, I swear I'll..."
Ares: "The question is; if you try to fail, and succeed, which have you done? You're going to have to start trying a little harder, unless you want to succeed at failure."
Xena: "I have more important things to do than listen to riddles!"
(Ares disappears after Xena's remark.)
After you've heard his depressing chit-chat, move along further. This is where the action is. Ahead is the
big guy that's been troubling you ever since you've arrived at Kronos. Here's your chance to get even. Don't get too close to the Cyclops. As you can see, his whale-sized fist doesn't look too friendly. But stand as close as you can where you don't have the Cyclops hurting you. The soft spot this guy has is his eye (His bad eyesight really requires good spectacles, which he'll probably get for half the price, heh-heh!). When you stand at a safe distance, aim the Chakram at his eye. If you've hit a bull's eye, Psycho Cyclops will start to yell and make a big fuss. His dangerous fist is busy rubbing his hurt eye right now, so run like the wind towards his other hand, with which he's clinging on to the cliff. Either kick or slash his fingers one by one, as quickly as you can. As soon as you've hit the last finger (his thumb doesn't count), Big Baby here will let go of the cliff and fall dead. Hurrah! You can enter the path on the right now and say goodbye to The Isle of Kronos!Previous Level -- Next Level -- Walkthrough home -- Site home
