Odyssey: The Search for Ulysses Hints

How do I travel between the different realms of Hades?

  • 1 of 7: Charon gave you something.
  • 2 of 7: He gave you a flute.  Play it to see if anything happens.
  • 3 of 7: Remember that he has a boat.
  • 4 of 7: Stand near the water in whichever realm you're in and play the flute there. If you don't get Charon on the first try, move around a bit, as you might be in slightly the wrong place.
  • 5 of 7: In the Elysian Fields, this map should help you find the water if you're lost.
  • 6 of 7: In Tartarus, look for the water -- not the lava.  The water is slightly red but not the same glowing red that the lava is.
  • 7 of 7: It's to the right of the entrance from the judges, before you reach the Danaides.
