Guide to Mount Olympus in Aquila

Mount Olympus is the beginning of Aquila.

The first of three dungeon instances. You must be Level 30 to access this dungeon. Each instance also has a side quest leading to a special boss battle. The good news? These bosses have specialty items!

The video below is a comprehensive guide to the entire Mount Olympus experience. It includes the Guide to the Bronze Eagle Statues and the Pit of the Noxii where you defeat Gladiator Dimachaerus for specialty items. School specific wands drop that are no trade and no auction. You may read about them below.

After completing Mount Olympus, you may access level 30 crafted gear as well as moving on to Atlantea, the second dungeon.

Climbing the Mountain

Athena Battle Sight greets you immediately upon entering. She informs your first task is to collect three Legion Tokens. Don’t worry about their size. They magically shrink to fit in your backpack.

Let Me Show You The Light

The Sun Chamber (0:39)

This chamber is defended by the radiant Apollo Bright One, Rank 7 Life Boss 3,360 health. He is accompanied by a Myth Elite Cyclops Guard at 895 health.

Retrieve the Ophidian Archer Legion Token.

Already Beaten

The Moon Chamber (2:12)

Athena explains her sister Artemis New Moon is away. The Token is guarded by a Ophidian Archer, Rank 7 Death Elite with 1,200 health and a Crescent Moon Centaur, Rank 7 Moon Elite with 1,280 health.

Retrieve the Minotaur Warrior Legion Token.

Zeus’ Personal Guards

The Sky Balcony (3:52)

Praetorian Guard exclaims for you to tremble in your robes! No need to tremble. He is a Rank 7 Storm Elite at 990 health. His minions are Elite Cyclops Guards too. Like in the Sun Chamber. Easy.

They surrender the Carthaginian Elephant Legion Token to you.

Puzzle vs. Deer Knight?

Down To The Arena (5:37)

Take the Legion Tokens to Eris Golden Apple for a Puzzle.

She wishes to place you in a golden cage! Watch out! Use your newly acquired Legion Tokens to beat her at her game.

Step 1 Carthaginian Elephant
Step 2 Minotaur Warrior
Step 3 Ophidian Archer

Or use the Oran Silverhorn Method (7:10)

Eris will give you the key that is needed to unlock the hall.

Fire in the Hall

Hall of the Watchful Eye (10:24)

Defeat the Elite Cyclops Guardsmen to reach the forge of Hephaestus. Again, Rank 7 Myth Elite at 895 health.

The Forge (11:21)

Hephestus cannot continue without his Bronze Eagles that have wandered off. (How statues wander off is beyond me.) Four statues hide around Mount Olympus. Here is a Quick Guide to the Bronze Statues with a Video Quick Guide if you prefer.

Heart of a Warrior

Hall of Battle (14:39)

Now you need a wicked Weapon to even the odds. Ares Savage Spear has just the weapon! He thinks our spells are puny?! HA! Hit him with your best shot!

Ares is a Rank 7 Fire Boss with 3,600 health. His minion is an Ophidian Archer, Rank 7 Death Elite at 1,200 health.

Take the reward and go forth to the father.

The Sky Father (16:10)

Zeus welcomes you to battle with his very deep and authoritative voice.

Zeus is a Rank 7 Myth Boss with 4,000 health. His minion is a Minotaur Warrior, Rank 7 Ice Elite at 1,200 health. (Don’t miss the end of this battle.)

Honored at last! (18:40)

Wise Silenus is kind enough to record your name and provide your Honorable Bronze Archon badge. Cyrus Drake calls you to the next Quest. It is time to move on to Atlantea.

Craft It!

After completing Mount Olympus, Khalkos Coppersmith appears outside the Mount Olympus dungeon. He has level 30 crafted gear. Read more about it in this guide.

Pit of the Noxii (19:30)

The Slaughterhouse of Olympus (20:40)

This is a side quest completed inside of Mount Olympus. It is repeatable without completing the entire dungeon. It entails defeating Gladiator Dimachaerus, “father of war and fang and claw.”

Pit of the Noxii is near Eris Golden Apple and her game.

Prepare ahead for battle as he is a Rank 13 Balance Boss with 24,000 health. His minion is a Rank 12 Ice Elite Doomed Bones at 3,040 health. Prepare to remove Weaknesses. He uses a specialty -75 too. Bring Cleanse Charms, shields and heals. (I hope you aren’t afraid of rats.)

You too can be a Superior Gladiator once you complete this quest.

Specialty Zeus Wands (25:32)

Dimacharus drops the following school specific wands, as well as the other Tartarus Tier 2 wands. Do note they are no auction too. . They all have critical increases as well as incoming and outgoing health increases.
