Titan Quest, As opposed to most games based on mythology, Titan Quest is based on the end of the communication between the Gods and Humanity. The main character (whose name and gender are chosen by the user) begins the quest on a dirt road near a small village named Helos. The town and all of Greece have been overrun by beasts and creatures (drawn largely from Greek mythology) that are terrorizing the countryside wrecking harvests, burning farms and olive groves, invading villages and cemeteries, etc. After being sent on a mission to Delphi by the Spartan general Leonidas, the hero finds centaurs, satyrs, minotaurs, gorgons, and skeletons relentlessly guard the way to prevent him from reaching the next village or town. Battling from one rebirth fountain to the next through miles of infested countryside and caves, the hero earns a brief reprieve in the fictional historic recreations of Delphi, Athens, and Knossos. In each town or village the hero passes through, the storyline is expounded through interaction with non-player characters. The cause of the havoc is eventually gleaned from the representatives of an organization called "The Order of Prometheus." A lesser Titan called a Telkine (see Telchines) has apparently destroyed the communication "conduit" used by the ancient priests and oracles to contact the gods. After defeating the first telkine, the player heads to Egypt to look for Imhotep, the man who knows more about the contact between humans and gods than any other mortal. After finding two objects, the player and Imhotep perform a ceremony to reconnect the contact, but the ritual fails. Fighting hyenas, mummies, jackalman, and scarabs, the player finds the second telkine inside the Tomb of Ramses in the Valley of the Kings. The player kills the telkine, but finds a tablet telling of the Sickle of Kronos.
The search for the third (and final) Telkine takes the hero to the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, where the Hero must stop the Telkine from obtaining an item called the "Sickle of Kronos". The Hero is too late and the Telkine escapes with the sickle, so the hero heads along the Silk Road to the Orient, battling yetis, Myrmidons and the Terracotta Army along the way with stops in the Himalayas, Mongolia, and the Great Wall of China. Chasing down the final Telkine proves difficult as the enemies grow significantly more powerful. Reaching the Jade Palace in China, the Yellow Emperor warns the hero that the Telkine has made its way to release the Titan Typhon from his earthly prison. At the Wusao Mountains the hero discovers that Typhon has made his way to Olympus. After killing the final Telkine, the hero must travel through a portal to reach Olympus and battle the Titan Typhon himself. Upon defeating Typhon, Zeus, the king of the Greek Gods, thanks the hero for their courage and talks about the break in connection with the gods. Zeus also informs the hero that it is time that mankind forge its own destiny.
The game then has an "Epic" level and then a "Legendary" level in which the monsters and battles in the storyline become significantly more difficult, gaining levels and certain special abilities. In addition, the players' resistances are lowered with each successive difficulty level.
