Tips on survival[]

Camp Half-Blood for a day keeps the monsters away[]

If you know you are a demigod, but are not heading for camp yet, it is very important to lie low! Believe it or not, monsters will leave you alone as long as you don't go around gawking and galavanting in highly populated areas such as towns or schools. The more you stay at home, keep by yourself, and travel in only small groups of kids (easy for me to say 'cause I've never really been popular - another sign of demigodhood), you will attract WAY less monsters. They might pass by and give you a funny look, but they will not have the guts to attack you because they will be confused as to why you are so confident all alone. Alternatively, traveling in large groups of regular mortals may help mask your demigod aura.

The monsters may get close when you're alone (it's terrifying, believe me, I know), but for some reason they will back off, possibly because they suspect that such an easy target is part of a trap. Sometimes monsters will literally stalk you until they can corner you in a way that they have the upper hand. For example, I've seen buildings burned before me, I've been stalked by old ladies in white vans (ha, ha, ha), and I've even seen what I thought was the Minotaur across a bay. You will be placed in dangerous and scary situations, but no specific monster will be coming at you unless you have angered or provoked certain individuals. Be warned - if you are a child of a powerful god, using your powers will attract more monsters unless you are a child of a minor God/Goddess, so don't be discouraged if you don't know your capabilities yet, you'll learn soon enough. Meanwhile, monsters will find it harder to smell you with you keeping your powers low key.

Running away, and what you should bring[]

Don't run away without a plan and a reason, don't run away because you feel like it, make the most of your home while you can. This is simply because you will possibly scare your parents to death (or insanity), or get caught up with by monsters and killed because you know too much. First off, try to stay put until a satyr finds you (check the "Guide to Locating a Satyr"). At school, if you know that there is a satyr watching over you, notify them. If you do know for sure you're a demigod, and things are really getting bad, then consult the equipment part of this guide for the necessary bring-alongs (yes, duct tape is THAT important). Now, unless your Olympian parent favors you, it is very unlikely you should come across a decent monster-slaying weapon such as celestial bronze or oceanic steel, and it is also likely you will have to steal or take mortal "weapons" such as kitchen knives, ice picks, screwdrivers, and assorted garage tools... if, by some miracle, you have guns readily available, then you know what to do. Remember, regular weapons can seriously hurt or even "kill" monsters, but it will not have the same effect as if you had a magical metal weapon, such as absorbing or disintegration. A good strategy is to travel by night, because, first off, you're harder to see. Therefore, the police will have trouble finding you. Second, no questions will be asked. What I mean by this is if you're, let's say, a 14 year old traveling along the highway with a bunch of bags, people are eventually going to start asking questions, and questions mean trouble. Lastly, try to get out of your state as fast as you can. The farther away you are from your home, the more area the police will have to look to find you. My advice is to get out of the state adjacent to your own as fast as you can. Once you're out of the neighboring state, the chances are you're never going to get found. I recommend traveling to Long Island, New York, or to San Francisco Bay, California. Don’t use cellphones or other electronic devices; it will attract monsters! Cellphones radiate electricity, which could send shock waves through power-lines and monsters have very good senses (and you don't wanna get killed...do ya?)

IMPORTANT NOTE: Please, and I mean PLEASE do not run away from your home without a good reason. I cannot stress this enough, life on the streets is hell. There is potential of getting kidnapped or injured/killed. And if you haven't been claimed, chances are you won't be able to protect yourself. Say a minotaur breaks down your door (possible, but highly unlikely), that's a good excuse to run away. (I recommend having all of your essential supplies, listed below, packed and ready to go if you suspect that you're a demigod.) But if one night you decide 'hey, I'm tired of waiting around to be claimed,' (or whatever excuse that your mind made up to run away) well, that's not gonna go over well, unless you're already very close to one of the camps, in which case you can just take a bus or have your parents drive you. (Tell them you're visiting a friend, if they ask for proof *I don't know why but it's possible* just talk to a random person at school, get a picture with them or something, then show it to your parents. Should your parents get overprotective, just sneak out at night and take a bus, then call them from the camp phone or email them and tell them you're safe.) This ran long, but seriously, guys and girls, you don't want to run away alone. You most likely don't want to run away at all, but lack of an experienced satyr or demigod could cost you your life.

Monsters[]

It's key that you learn as much as you can about every species of Monsters.

  • Antaeus - A half-giant who is the son of Poseidon and Gaea. He was invincible while on the ground. So Percy managed to hang him in the air with chains and defeat him.
  • Argus - Argus is a multi-eyed humanoid who works as a security guard at Camp Half-Blood. He is said to have an eye on his tongue which is why Argus does not talk much.
  • Aurae - The Aurae wind spirits who work at Camp Jupiter as seen in The Son of Neptune.
  • Automaton - Automatons are like robots, but more highly developed. They have an intricate circuitry in them which makes them hard to fix if they malfunction. Most are made out of normal steel but some, like the Bronze dragon, are made out of celestial bronze. According to Annabeth, some Automatons in Manhattan were created by Daedalus (posing as statues) providing an army that could either defend of attack Olympus.
  • Basilisk - In this series, the Basilisks (meaning Little Crown) are little green snakes with colorful spikes and poisonous bites that could also breathe fire. In The Son of Neptune, the Basilisks are first seen when Polybotes was walking past Iris' shop R.O.F.L. (He shook them out of his hair). When the Basilisks attacked Camp Jupiter, Frank Zhang shape-shifted into what was most likely a mongoose (Percy says he turned into what looked like a weasel, but seemed unsure of himself) to scare them off.
  • Bear Twins - Agrius and Oreius are humanoid bears that were a result of a union between a woman and a bear due to the power of Aphrodite. The two served as Luke's henchmen in The Sea of Monsters.

He is first shown in "Percy Jackson and the Bronze Dragon" story of "The Demigod Files" where Percy, Annabeth, and Silena reactivate it in order to save Charles Beckindorf from the Myrmekes. He was deactivated by Beckendorf with Percy's help afterwards, due to the fact that it was unstable and dangerous. It is fixed by the Hephaestus cabin to protect the camp sometime after this. He is later named "Festus" by Leo Valdez in "The Lost Hero" when Leo found him hidden in the forest. Leo manages to forge some wings onto Festus. Although Festus was sliced to bits by the lasers on King Midas' mansion, Festus' head was recovered by Hephaestus who had his cabin build the Argo II with Festus' head as the figurehead. Festus means "happy" in Latin.

He gave Percy an apparently impossible task; cleaning out the stables of carnivorous horses (one the Labours of Hercules. Percy managed to completed the task, but Geryon went back on his deal to let Percy's friends free and the two fought. Percy found Geryon a strong opponent, as Geryon's three hearts made him almost impossible to defeat. Percy defeated Geryon with a well placed arrow (thanks to Hera) that went through Geryon's side hitting all three hearts at once, killing Geryon.[9]

Basic supplies[]

  • Ambrosia/Nectar---Used to heal wounds---If too much is consumed, a demigod may burn up, so be careful on your dosages!
  • Pain killers ( Motrin, Tylenol, Ibuprofen, Advil, Etc.)---If you do not have Ambrosia/Nectar---To cure Headaches, Stomach aches, Toothaches, Sores, Ect. Being Pain free can help you quite a lot, especially in Battle. Being pain free is one less handicap. Careful on the dosage though. Too much will kill you. Pain killers also include allergy relievers as well. Remember: One less handicap can change the tide of the Battle.

  • Superglue---Believe me, its more useful than you think
  • Weapons made of magical Alloys---Keeps monsters at bay; monsters hate the sight/touch of Celestial Bronze---Only works on monsters, NOT mortals!!!
  • Lighter---Always handy to have around for minor tasks
  • Solar torch---Never stops working and obviously it's always good to have light nearby
  • Rope---Used to climb out of traps, or to create a temporary escape "bridge".
  • Clothes---Can be changed as to create a disguise...or other...**HINT**
  • Ductape---Essential!!! Can be used to attach Greek Fire to a trap
  • Golden Drachmas---Absolutely necessary for those of us who may be traveling a lot; Drachmas can be used to create Iris-Messages (the new "I-M"ing) in order to keep in touch with friends/family/CHB.
  • Some kind of crystal or refractive lens--- Can refract light, it's basically a portable rainbow for Iris messaging
  • Spare socks---Keeps your feet warm and comfortable on quests that require a lot of walking
  • Armor---Protect yourself, duh!---Make sure that the shinguards and greaves fit, lest you will get "caught up" in them.**HINT**
  • Map or Portable GPS--- To keep track of where you are.
  • Swiss army knife/Penknife/Multitool---Highly recommended to every demigod to use for small tasks on quests
  • Cell Phone--- The type of cellphone that has 3G Internet. Keeps you from going insane with boredom. +charger, obviously. Keep it off mostly. The Police can track you with it. It also attracts monsters.
  • Laptop--- Something to do when you're at camp. Plus you can search up where you are, and directions.
  • At LEAST $300--- To buy food and extra equipment you may have passed up, etc.
  • Sleeping Bag and/or Tent--- Protection, and comfort from the cold hard ground/nature.
  • Carrying Device (Bookbag, Lunch box, Simple bags) ---To store all of this stuff.
  • Ductape - It saves lives. So many lives, in fact, that we had to put it twice.

Advanced gear[]

  • Greek fire---Most dangerous magical substance on earth---DO NOT PLACE IN EXTREME HEAT!!!---Be VERY careful when handling this substance!; Can cause extreme pain if you aren't careful...(blowing yourself up is NOT a really good option to escape monsters!).
  • Magic items---Essential for those advanced fighters.
  • Camp Half-blood necklace---Um...to show you are from Camp Half-Blood? Also, they can be used to help store reserves for your aura if you happen to run into the Sphinx...and, they can help you control elements once you learn how
  • Advanced GAO weapons--- Though it is very hard to get ahold of some they will be your life-line if you know how to use them. If you can find a hidden GAO weapon depoy only take some basic weapons nothing too complex or advanced

Simple monster defenses[]

  • Clothes inside out works on some lesser monsters such as Sprites, boggarts, straysod etc.
  • Crosses work on ghosts and other departed.
  • Turning three times counterclockwise in a circle can dispel demons and spirits.

Finding a Satyr[]

Note: I've been noticing that the finding a satyr guide is not accessible so I'm putting notes into this guide ;)

  • First, look for anything that might tip you off. Do they pay special attention to you or others? Of course, this could just be a simple crush, but do you see their attention strictly focused on a select few people?
  • Did they just randomly introduce themselves or start talking to you?
  • Did they transfer from a different 'place?'
  • I know you probably know this, but have you ever seen them wear shorts? Ripped jeans? They might be harnessing the Mist to disguise their legs, but it seems like a lot of effort. (Especially since the ability to harness the Mist is very rare in any creature other than children of Hecate, and doesn't appear in satyrs.)
  • Do they often wear hats or have puffy/curly hair? (An exception would be females, because female goats don't have horns, so female satyrs wouldn't either, though it's likely that they will have curly hair nonetheless.)
  • Do they wear really big shoes? (They wouldn't wear Converse hi-tops, for example, because they would be too tight)
  • They'll most likely be in general classes instead of honors, as they don't want to draw attention to themselves/don't plan on staying at the school (but if they're trying to stay close to you and you're in all honors classes, they might test themselves in, another way to spot one. Like, who would test into an honors class in the middle of the year?)
  • They probably won't be very 'with' current culture, since Camp Half Blood only has one (mostly off-limits) computer. (An exception would be a field satyr, a satyr whose job is to scout demigods and rarely spends much time at camp.)
  • Pay attention to their walking patterns. Do they have crutches? Do they sway while walking? Do they skip gym class because of 'asthma' or some other condition? (Could be a disguise for the fact that they move differently than everyone else)
