In this chapter Percy, Annabeth, and Grover have to get back Ares Shield from an abandoned Water Park. The problem with that is that Hephaestus has trapped the park so that when someone breaks a string (that is almost unseeable) then the trap goes off. So as Percy grabs the shield the trap goes off and robot spiders start coming out of glass mirrors. The factors that caused this problem is Ares going on a date with Aphrodite, Ares needing help, Percy Annabeth and Grover not refusing to the god, the park being abandoned, Hephaestus setting the trap, Percy and Annabeth not seeing the wire, and Grover not coming down to help until the end.

What factors led to the solution?

The factors that led to the solution was Percy and Annabeth’s idea, Percy controlling the water, Grover helping at the end, and Hephaestus making the spiders not able to fly.
