Describe how you would add Greek monsters to AO. Specify if they would be NPCs, Animals, or Sea Monsters, or Bosses

Hecatoncheires
The Hundred-Handed
Boss, Level 900
40,000 x 3 Health

The Hecatoncheires are a group of three giants—Cottus, Gryes, and Briareus—each with fifty heads and one hundred arms (though this amount would likely get cut down in-game.) Coming up to Olympus during the War of the Gods, the death of Zeus would leave them stranded on Earth. They would settle on a remote island far from land where, unseen by human eyes for hundreds of years. Sensing the souls of their former allies within you, they have taken a keen interest in you.

They appear on a rainless island in the I4 range of the Dark Sea. On the island, a mansion built into a mountain would be seen, with the outside of the mansion being lush and filled with prey animals. Outside the front door is a quest giver.

The quest giver, named Cymopolia, remarks that you are the first human they’ve seen since the Fall of Olympus. Sensing your strength the soul of her father Poseidon within you, she invites you inside, where her husband Briareus would be waiting. After some small talk between the two, Cymopolia would tell Briareus of what she sensed. Briareus then invites you to fight him and his brothers.

The Hecatoncheires are close-ranged fighters, with a focus on pulling opponents towards them. Each one of them—though identical in technique—differ in attack stats: Cottus has 2x the haste of his brother, Gyres has 1.5x the range, dexterity, and size of his brothers, and Briareus has 60% pierce and 1.25x the power of his brothers.

After defeating the Hecatoncheires, Briareus offers to teach you the fighting style they use for free: Hundred-Handed Style. This lost fighting style requires 600 Strength to use. After defeating the Hecatoncheires and upon reencountering the island, Briareus can be talked to, where you can either relearn Hundred-Handed Style or rematch the Hecatoncheires.

Hundred-Handed Style
Using trace energy, project grasping hands which pull foes toward you.

Damage: 1.0x
Size: 1.3x
Speed: 0.65x
Inflicts Bruised
High Reverse Knockback

Hundred-Handed Style is be a lost fighting style focused on keeping opponents close to you. While awful at rushing opponents down, it excels in keeping them in range of your attacks. Thus to effectively use this fighting style, a faster fighting style should be used alongside it to close the distance between you and your opponent.

we’ll not add your ocs to the game

3

I hope they add a corrupted version of scylla to the dark sea :eyes:

4

This is either bait or you’re actually stupid

5

i think you’re the stupid one here

6

Tough guy over here

7

instead of a hundred hands i am a hundred stupid

8

yes you are

9

Charybdis as an Apollyon Tier Sea Monster too.

10

litte bit too far to the future with that sugg

11

I’d want the dark sea to be filled with Greek Monsters and the deeper you go the more rare/powerful they become. Specifically I want gorgons and hydras. The dark sea need more bosses

12

If there aren’t any notable greek monsters (like named ones, not the races) in the game by the time AO is finished then Vetex has lost the plot.

13

also prob have other unnamed giants in general, though called Vastus ingame. book of athena did mention that some that survived the fracture continued living in the dark sea till they all fell to the madness and corruption

I’d guess they start appearing within the far reaches of the dark sea, would be a rare opponent as many of those vastus also prob died off over time from existing, and every single giant will be corrupted since any that would remain had once lived pre-fracture

Phoenix, it’s also a magic, so the bird should exist as well.

Minotaur

Manticore, perhaps whatever abomination this is could only be brought to existence cause of the dark sea? Either far reaches or the epicenteral zone/epicenter itself

14

Manticores
Tier 5 Animals
Health: 5,000

Monsters with the head of a man, the body of a lion, and the tail of a scorpion. Manticores are found rarely in the Far Reaches on islands with grass, though are most commonly found on poison forest islands. Manticores deal medium damage with bites and scratches, high damage with tail swipes that hit from all angles horizontally, and poison those they hit. Manticores drop two items: a large, fluffy collar mostly functioning as vanity, Lion’s Mane, and a rare weapon, Manticore’s Tail.

Manticore’s Tail
Rare, Level 100+, Good Quality, Polearm
Damage: 0.85x
Size: 1.1x
Speed: 1.15x
Poisoned

A polearm dropped by manticores which poisons those hit.

15

Lemme go grab my time machine and break that it to the Ancient Greeks that their mythology won’t be making it into the LEGO online game.

16

Lurker but actually cool :wilted_flower:

17

Scylla, well I guess we are taking something from Homer’s Odyssey (although if it weren’t for recent movie I wouldn’t know about it). It’d be kinda cool to have some rock, strait or rift near Dark Sea were Scylla lurks, but only in one sea out of six. I suppose Aegean would be the most fitting to have Scylla, because why not.

18

add titans and there own respective drops of themes. like atlas being some sort of strength weapon or berserker stuff cuz strong atlas was.

or like oceanus who gives a water something magic thingy or weapon

or hyperion with the divine light type theme and stuff.

all of em giants and and stuff

19

best we got are magic mutated animals

20

we aint even made it past nimbus fully. how the fuck are we gonna even get these greek mythos. this game finished in 2046 or something mate
