Okay.. you need to calibrate your Headset and select the modem in the 
VRSETUP.EXE and HELMSETP.EXE programs.. the Sony Virtuhelm has been 
known to cause the flickering problems you're describing in front of
mount olympiad.. My Mitsmi500 setup has the same problem, except it has 
a higher threshhold of graphics it can display before it craps out..
(it happens in front of valhalla, usually when you're battling thor or 
odin)

Here's a little spoiler for you.. if you get the magic bridle, it IS
possible to tame pegasus in front of the gorgon's lair.
Nothing like a flying horse.. I built a stable for it, and usually use
my chromatic dragon as a steed.

BTW- if you've killed thor, be sure to search his body and take mjolnir, 
the MOST powerful hammer.

Good luck with your headset!
