So these filthy Old Worlder pagans murder your bridge on your wedding day, kill a bunch of party guests, and flip you the bird. Are you James Bond from Ian Fleming's Casino Royale? Heck no -- you're Jason of Iolcus, the baddest ass monarch this side of the Aegean and you don't take crap from no one (especially the servants). You go up to that balcony and you murder the lot of the bastards, but now you're stuck and lost. IGN is here to help you on your initial voyage of discovery. Break the bounds of death and rescue the hot wife from cold Hell with our starting guide.

In this Rise of the Argonauts strategy guide, you will have access to:

FAVORS OF THE GODS Every situation you can weasel out of to get more bang for your buck. Weaseling out of tough choices is what separates man from animal -- except the weasel.

WEAPON MASTER Every piece of equipment in the game, so you can stuff your funeral pyre with a ton of crap, burn it, so you can flip the bird to your surviving spouse, children, and city-state in the glorious after-life.

WALKTHROUGH Main quests and associated side quests for each island, including how not to miss some extra dialogue for alignment points.
