If you do get a zip file, check its source first and place its contents carefully. - Author: Alex Morgan - Tags: Age of Mythology, Walkthroughs, PC games, game guides, #gce-59858a7e You can read an Age of Mythology walkthrough in your browser, so you may not need a zip file at all. IGN hosts an Age of Mythology guide wiki with sections on the cultures, the major gods, units and buildings [\[1\]](https://www.ign.com/games/age-of-mythology/walkthroughs?ref=idleweekend.net). If you want a quick answer about one unit or god, you open a page and scroll, with nothing to unpack. GameFAQs also lists a PC guide and walkthrough by shironinja for Age of Mythology [\[2\]](https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/pc/476277-age-of-mythology/faqs/20360?ref=idleweekend.net). It is a text guide you read on the site, so there is no file to open, scan or place in a game folder. That makes it the lowest-effort option for most readers. This article covers where to find these guides, which edition each one fits, and how to handle a zip file if you still want one. Start with the browser option, since it asks nothing from your computer. For a closer look, read [Age of Empires III Gold Edition Walkthrough](https://idleweekend.net/age-of-empires-iii-gold-edition-walkthrough/). ## Where can you find a trustworthy walkthrough? Start with IGN's Age of Mythology page or the Steam Community guides for the game. Both are easy to find, and you can read them online without installing anything. ### IGN's game page IGN lists Age of Mythology walkthroughs on its game page, under a section called Game Help. [\[1\]](https://www.ign.com/games/age-of-mythology/walkthroughs?ref=idleweekend.net) The page also gives a list of top guide sections, including The Cultures, The Major Gods, and Units. [\[1\]](https://www.ign.com/games/age-of-mythology/walkthroughs?ref=idleweekend.net) Because the guide is split by topic, you can jump straight to the part you are stuck on. ### Steam Community guides Steam Community has guides for Age of Mythology: Extended Edition, so pick those if you own that version. One of them is a comprehensive 100% achievement guide that walks you step by step from 0 all the way to 100%. [\[3\]](https://steamcommunity.com/app/266840/guides/?ref=idleweekend.net) ### Check the version before you start Read the guide's title or description first to see which edition it covers. If you own the Extended Edition, a guide that names it is the right match. If the title names a different edition, look for another guide before you follow its steps.

Open the zip and check its contents before you extract anything. That way you see every file before any of them lands in your game folder. 1. Scan the downloaded zip with your antivirus program before you open it. Extract only from a download page you trust. 2. Open the zip in your archive program and list every file it holds, noting each file name and its ending. 3. Go to your Age of Mythology folder, the one where the game is installed. 4. Place each file according to its ending. Go to the AoM folder and look at the last three letters of the file name to decide where it goes [\[4\]](https://aom.heavengames.com/cgi-bin/forums/display.cgi?action=st&fn=12&tn=16775&ref=idleweekend.net). 5. Watch for files that are only EXE files. Some files are just EXE, and you have to specify where they go [\[4\]](https://aom.heavengames.com/cgi-bin/forums/display.cgi?action=st&fn=12&tn=16775&ref=idleweekend.net). Sorting by ending is like sorting mail by address: the ending tells you where each file belongs. Once every file sits where its ending points, your walkthrough is ready to use. ![Close-up of a person's hands typing on a laptop keyboard beside a coffee mug, with a download window on screen.](https://tse1.mm.bing.net/th?q=person%27s%20hands%20typing%20on%20laptop%20keyboard%20beside%20coffee%20mug&w=800&h=450&rs=1&c=4) ## Which version does your walkthrough need to match? Pick a walkthrough that names the same edition you own. Age of Mythology has more than one version, and a guide written for one can send you to scenarios or menus that don't exist in another. The Steam Community guides for Age of Mythology are written for the Extended Edition. One of them is a 100% Achievement walkthrough that aims to take you from 0 to 100% [\[3\]](https://steamcommunity.com/app/266840/guides/?ref=idleweekend.net). If you own the Extended Edition, that guide is written for your copy. Retold has a different starting point. The Age of Empires Fandom wiki describes its tutorial as a scenario that replaces the older campaign, Learn to Play [\[5\]](https://ageofempires.fandom.com/wiki/Tutorial%5F%28Age%5Fof%5FMythology%29?ref=idleweekend.net). If a guide tells you to start Learn to Play, it was probably written for a different version, and your screens won't match its steps. ### How to match a guide to your copy Start by reading the edition named in the guide's title or opening section. Then compare that name with the edition shown in your game's store page or library entry. If the names match, the steps should line up with what you see on screen. If a guide doesn't name an edition at all, treat it as unclear and look for one that does. A guide that tells you exactly which edition it covers saves you from following steps that don't apply to your game. ## What is the simplest next step? Start with an online guide. It is the safest option, and it lets you check the edition before you read a single step. If you own the Extended Edition, the Steam Community guides cover it, including a 100% achievement walkthrough that takes you from 0 to 100% [\[3\]](https://steamcommunity.com/app/266840/guides/?ref=idleweekend.net). IGN also lists Age of Mythology walkthroughs on its game page [\[1\]](https://www.ign.com/games/age-of-mythology/walkthroughs?ref=idleweekend.net). Only download a zip when you trust its source, and scan it before you open it. If a site you do not know offers the guide only as a zip, skip it and choose an online guide that names your edition instead. ## Sources 1.
