    All this achievement requires is that you finish the final mission of the campaign. How you do that is up to you. Note that using cheats will disable all achievements until you've restarted the game, so if you want to take the other review's advice and cheat your way to the end, you're gonna have to restart the game after you've skipped every other level. Below, you'll find my personal guide on how to finish the mission, but only the bold text is actually important. The rest are helpful hints.

    Now, as for the level itself, your objective is simple. Destroy the Living Statue of Poseidon that's guarding the Gate of Tartarus. This is, simply put, impossible at the start of the mission, as the statue has 20,000 health, can kill most units in a single attack, and even if you do somehow manage to damage it, has health regeneration so high, most attacks will be healed instantly. The only way to defeat it is to either cheat, which will invalidate the achievement (that said, if you aren't concerned with the achievement or cheating, Zeus's lightning bolts take off a decent chunk, and if you use a cheat to restore charges to your god powers, you can unleash continuous lightning bolts until it dies), or have Arkantos ascend to godhood, via a godpower you'll get roughly twenty minutes into the mission. Until that point, build up your forces and your economy, maybe raid Gargarensis's main base if you're feeling lucky. Gargarensis's forces have three major bases - a forward base to the north, a secondary base to the east of that one, and the main base, part of which is the Gate of Tartarus, which can be accessed by either pushing even further north or by heading west. You'll start with two allies - one Egyptian and the other Norse. Both will give you occasional myth units from their faction (Anubites for Egypt and all three giants for Norse), and the Norsemen have a healing spring for restoring health to your units. Immediately, you should build up your forces and push the two forward bases, claiming them as soon as you can. Build up defences as soon as you take the northern base, as this will delay the occasional raids from the main enemy base. After some time has passed, a meteor storm will destroy your Egyptian ally's base, and a second will appear later to destroy the Norsemen - if you wish, move in to take advantage of their now-vacant settlements and resources. Once you finally get the god power for Arkantos's ascension, don't waste time with anything. God Arkantos can solo the entire enemy army, but whilst you can send him in alone, that doesn't mean that you should. Have him go straight for the statue whilst your forces deal with it's bodyguards. As soon as the statue falls, you've won.
