How do you defeat Zeus on Mythology Island?

Answer 1

Battle Against Zeus

• Use the Trident to fire bolts at Zeus as you fly around. The health meter below Zeus will show his weakening power if you hit him.
• Zeus attacks in at least three ways : a "wind" attack indicated by curving lines, a thunderbolt attack (wide or concentrated fire), and later "head-butting" your character to weaken you.
• Anytime he hits you, you will lose power, as indicated by the pink clouds supporting you. If you lose them all, you must start the battle over. Collect as many little clouds into your cloud as you can during the battle.
• After you have scored some hits, the process is made more difficult. Zeus begins to glow, and forms a spinning group of glowing white balls of energy. He then releases them at you, and you must Dodge them by making evasive maneuvers. (This is like the spinning balls from Betty Jetty, or the razor balls from the Mordred robot.) Your bolts will only hurt Zeus when he is NOT glowing.
• If you successfully avoid the bolts and balls, you can score enough hits to reduce Zeus's power to zero. You have won the quest! Zeus returns the sacred items to you. Athena rewards you with the Island Medallion and you have become a hero in the realms of Olympus!

NOTE :

1) Using the spacebar to "light yourself up" does not seem to have a beneficial effect, but it is possible that it has to do with some specific timing event.

2) Collecting the clouds is the single greatest benefit, as at maximum the clouds can withstand hits even by all 6 white spheres. Most dangerous are the concentrated lightning bolts and head-butting attacks.

3) The approximate number of hits to defeat Zeus is in the range of 50 to 70, with his glowing ball attack beginning after about 20 hits.
