Along the way you will be hindered by terrifying illusionary creatures created by the demi-gods, but there is hope: your sister Electra is also somewhere in the labyrinth, and she possesses the knowledge of which of the Shapes are the six needed. However, the treacherous Clytaemnestra has heard of your task, so also stalks the winding passages looking to kill Electra.
