What hints are you referring to? I never saw any hints.

Every time you enter a level there is text that appears at the bottom of the screen above the death counter. It cycles through a list of hints for the boss fight. Such as for the hermes fight: one snake always lies, one snake always tells the truth. That way during the second stage of the hermes fight you can figure out which one is telling the truth and use that to dodge their devestating attack.
