⚡ Hercules' Twelve Labors ⚡ (by nextnet.gr)

The Nemean Lion's hide is invulnerable to weapons. As it roars and charges, you must decide:

You wrestle the lion into a chokehold! After an epic struggle, it collapses. Using its own claws, you skin it and wear the impenetrable pelt as armor.

One labor down, eleven to go!

In the swamps of Lerna, the Hydra hisses with nine snapping heads! For each head you cut off, two more grow back. What's your strategy?

With your nephew Iolaus's help, you burn each neck stump after cutting. The immortal head you bury under a rock! The Hydra is defeated!

Progress:

For your final labor, you must bring Cerberus, Hades' three-headed guard dog, from the Underworld! How will you approach this?

After completing all twelve labors, the gods forgive you. You've become immortal and will live among the stars as a constellation!
