Deliver the Artifacts to Medusa

Defeat Minions to Buy Time for Medusa

Next, defeat six Minions to buy time for Medusa. Minions are the henchmen of the bosses—Zeus, Hades, and Ares. Visit any of these boss locations, summon them, and defeat six Minions.

Use a Scrying Pool to Speak with Oracle

Speak with the Oracle using a Scrying Pool. There are four Scrying Pools on the map; check the image below for their precise locations.

Destroy Crackling Hourglasses to Weaken Zeus's Stormforged Hourglass

There are five Crackling Hourglasses across the map; you only need to destroy three of them. They are located at Restored Reels, Fencing Fields, Brawler's Battlegrounds, Summit Temple, and Pantheon Path. Choose locations with fewer players to complete your quest more peacefully.

Report Back to Medusa

After destroying the three Hourglasses, return to Medusa and speak with her to proceed to the next quests.

Damage Zeus's Stormforged Hourglass, Then Defeat Zeus

First, damage Zeus's Stormforged Hourglass located in the hallway before the swimming pool, then summon and defeat Zeus.

Report Your Victory to the Oracle

After completing all the previous stages, go to a Scrying Pool and speak with the Oracle to finish the final quest.
