Throne of the Dead is the fifth scenario of the Greek campaign in Age of Empires: Mythologies. It is played on a 20x20 sized map.

Intro[]

The heroes lay siege to Hades' capital in Erebus, on the river Styx.

Intro[]

Erebus, the Capital of the Underworld.

Herakles: Yield, Hades! The greatest hero... heroes... of Greece stand against you.

Perseus: Free Hippolyta! We will strike each stone from your walls if you do not.

Hades: You are wrong to attack me, mortals. You cannot know the listless horror what awaits you.

Odysseus: Patience, friends. Hades' city is protected by these three Temples. We must capture them before we can strike against him.

Outro[]

Perseus: Hippolyta, you are free from these bonds. Hades has no power over you now.

Hippolyta: What have you done?

Hades: With this, there is now nothing that we can do to stop him. Without her sacrifice, nothing can restore the seal on the Destroyer.

Herakles: Speak straight! I am a simple man who requires naught but simple words and a great club. Why attack Greece? What is this Destroyer?

Hippolyta: In Tartarus bound, the Titan called Typhon stirs. It is he, not Hades, who strikes against Greece.

Hades: Typhon the Destroyer will bring oblivion to Greece. With the seal gone, your only choice is to strike against him where he rises.

Hippolyta: Come heroes, we must make haste to the base of Olympus. Surely the home of the gods will be the Destroyer's first target.

Bug[]

  • By positioning units in certain locations and saving the game and reloading it, it is possible to block the magic barriers for all players, which makes the scenario much easier. Once the three temples have been captured, the player must save again and reload to unlock the magic barriers.

Trivia[]

  • Although not stated, to achieve victory the player must also defeat all enemies.
  • There is an enemy mine placed on a food location.
