Odyssey: The Search for Ulysses Hints
How do I get through the first room?
1 of 6: This is basically a timing puzzle.
2 of 6: The tridents shoot back and forth across the room -- look for a pattern when they do.
3 of 6: Only three of the four possible tridents shoot out at any given time, and you should be able to predict which ones do.
4 of 6: Run (hold down SHIFT) to what you know will be the safe spot, wait for the next burst of tridents, and then run a little more again.
5 of 6: Numbering from left to right, numbers 3, 1, 4, and 2 are missing in that order. (In other words, when the third trident on the left is missing in one burst, you know that the one farthest to the left will be missing the next time.)
6 of 6: You can make it across the room by going to the third spot from the left, waiting for the tridents to fire and clear, and then running to the far left side in the next pass. The door to the next room will open when you reach it.
