These twelve labours are symbolized by icons that appear occasionally on the screen. You have to collect these labours while fighting off skeletons that carry swords. The fights take place in ancient Greek temples amongst other places.If you hit a labour it will put into an urn but a spider tries to steal the labours from you. Kill it with a well placed blow.If all twelve labours have been collected he must face the the end boss of the game, the mighty Minotaur. [source:mobygames]
