Titan Quest

Story

Titan Quest is based on the end of communication between the gods and humanity. The main character (whose name and gender can be chosen by the player) starts the adventure on a dirt road near a small village called Helos. The world has been overrun by beasts and creatures (mostly from mythology) that terrorize the land, destroy crops, burn temples, invade villages and cemeteries, lay siege to towns, etc. After being sent on a mission to Delphi by the Spartan general Leonidas, the story revolves around the fictional Order of Prometheus and its efforts to restore balance to the world. The hero encounters centaurs, harpies, automatons, spiders and scorpions, yetis, undead soldiers and other monsters from the myth, who relentlessly guard the path and try to prevent him from reaching the next village or town. Occasionally, the hero will have to face stronger "miniboss" monsters, usually as part of a side task. Bosses also appear at regular intervals, usually guarding a main quest item, a means of transportation, a quest NPC, etc. At the end of each act (Greece, Egypt and Orient) the player faces a boss opponent (called Telkines) and at the end of Olympus the Titan Typhon.
