THE OBJECTS


As you complete Labors, you will be rewarded with gifts from the gods. The final answer to each puzzle is an Object. All Objects are concrete, if imaginary (eg, WINGED HELMET, as opposed to INDEPENDENCE). Also, all Objects share a certain property which may be useful to determine.

There are three different types of Objects, and you will ultimately receive four of each. You will not necessarily know going into a Labor which sort of Object you'll be seeking. The three types of Objects are as follows:

  • BOOBY PRIZES

    What it sounds like. You'll recognize this worthless junk when you get it. Unfortunately, not all of the gods are really in your corner.
  • MAGIC ITEMS

    These Objects have fantastic properties that will grant you special abilities. When you verify the identity of one of these, its powers will be revealed.
  • TREASURES

    Because these Objects are so precious, they're a bit harder to come by. Solving a Treasure puzzle will not yield an Object, but rather a phrase of some sort. Receiving an Object from one of these puzzles requires the use of a Magic Item. Each Magic Item will be used in this way exactly once.
