Walkthrough by Harry Laudie


You start in front of a closed gate so go forward and pick up the revolver off the pedestal. Turn around and kill a blue ninja and get the small medipack that he drops. Go to the south-east corner and pick up flares from the floor. Go to the north-east corner and climb the block for Uzi ammo. Jump and grab the crawl space to the north. On the other side, drop down and climb a ladder to a room. Climb a block in the south-east corner for shotgun shells. Shoot a vase for crossbow explosive ammo. The other vase is empty. Just before the west doorway is a hole. Drop in for secret #1 and flares. After you enter the doorway, spikes pop up there. Go down the stairs and kill a blue ninja. At a junction go to the right and enter a room. If you go straight there is revolver ammo at a spike trap. In the room go south to kill a blue ninja and four scorpions and notice the closed door. Jump to the south-west corner for revolver ammo. There is a very high opening there as well. Turn and go north to kill four scorpions. There was also a scorpion stuck behind a floor statue. Notice something that looks like a trap door in the east floor. It is a fake. Jump and grab the big blocks in the middle of the room. On top of the east one you find a large medipack. Go to the north behind the wall to find a floor switch. Kill two blue ninjas and pick up two small medipacks. Use the floor switch and the south door opens.

Go to the door and slide down to a level floor. Jump over the fire pit and continue to a ledge above a deep room. Go down both side ledges and use two floor switches. The pit is flooded and the bottom gates are open. Swim into the north-west opening for a laser sight. Then swim into the north-east opening and follow the tunnel. When it goes down take the first branch. Pull up into a room to face closed doors and darts from the walls. Climb the north-west block and go north. Stand up and jump to a grid floor. Go south and through the crawl space. Do not stand up but pick up the large medipack. Carefully stand and pull up into an alcove to the north. This is secret #2.  Climb down and back out. Crawl back to the water, drop in, and pull up again. Climb the north-east block and go north. Stand up and jump to a grid floor. Go south and through the crawl space. Use the floor switch and you hear the doors opening. Go back but the floor is on fire. Step on it, crouch and crawl back to drop in the water. It still took two full medipacks before I got it right and survived. Crawl to the door to avoid the darts and go left for a small medipack. Run down the slope and jump a gap to avoid the spike balls. Continue into a room that lights up as you enter.

Pick up Cartouche Piece 1 from a pedestal to the west. You get a cut scene that shows the gate you started at is now open. Run around the outside of the room to pick up a large medipack, flares, and revolver ammo. Now go back up the slope and swim back into the room you flooded. Get some air and swim back into the same gate. When you down a shaft, ignore the branch this time and continue to swim down. Take the branch at the bottom. Follow the tunnel and pick up crossbow normal ammo. Swim up a shaft for air. Get into the opening in the west wall. At a dead end pull to the north wall. When the tunnel splits, the first left branch is a dead end. Go north pass another branch and down the ladder for secret #3 and Uzi ammo. Climb back up and take the other branch and climb a ladder. At the top drop into the room before the slope and spike balls. Kill a blue ninja and continue back to the starting room.

Go up the stairs to the end and pull up to the left. Run north to the end of the ledge. Drop down and grab a crawl space. First shimmy to the right and get into another crawl space. Crawl to the end to hear the secret sound for secret #4 but there is nothing to actually get. Go back and shimmy left and pull up into the first crawl space. At the end stand up in a room. Go north and start climbing blocks. On the second block turn east and jump some slopes to get the Uzi's. Back to the floor and continue the blocks north and then east to a ledge. Go to the end and jump south to a ledge. Go right to the high ledge in the south-west corner. Face north and jump into an alcove and use the floor switch. Safety drop to the floor. Get out of the crawl space and safety drop to a ledge. Go up the stairs into the open gate. Follow the columns to the right to pick up crossbow poison ammo. Get down to the floor and look around to the east to pick up Cartouche Piece 2 off a pedestal. Go to the south-east corner and pull back a statue out of an alcove. Go behind and use the floor switch and hear a gate opening. Go west to climb a block and jump up to grab a monkey swing. Then drop to kill a blue ninja. Get back to the block and monkey swing around to the east for the open gate. Enter and drop down and go north to make the Ba Cartouche and use it. Then go south to the open gate and slide down into a large open area.

Go east into a building to shoot a vase beside a jeep. Pick up a small medipack. Go north to the next room and kill a blue ninja. Pick up the jeep keys that he drops.  Unfortunately the keys are not for this jeep. The building to the west has an opening in the roof but there is a closed gate there. Go to the right of the jeep building and get onto the roof. Go to the north-east corner and jump east to a very large outdoor area. If you get lost, go to the south-west to get back here. Slide down and go east to a building. Go to its left and kill a blue ninja. Go forward a little and turn to kill another blue ninja behind you. Go east and turn the corner of the building to kill another blue ninja. Notice the closed doors in front of the building. Go east and climb the hills to the north. At the top go west until you see the first sentry gun on top of a building to the north-west. Blow it up with the revolver and laser sight so it does not get you later. Go back to the east and then north but keep to the top ridges of the hills. You pass the second sentry gun guarding a building. Blow it up as well when you get behind it. Continue north and kill a blue ninja. Look down to the north-west to a building. Use binoculars and you can see a red star on the ground. Get down there and pick up the Hand of Sirius. You get a cut scene of a door opening back in a building that you passed.

Go west and turn north to notice a door in the building. Enter and shoot an empty vase. Go left and down some stairs. Kill a red ninja and pick up flares in a corner. Exit the building and continue north and west to get on top of a building and kill two blue ninjas. Pick up crossbow normal ammo. Drop down the south side of the building. To the south you should find a ladder that goes down into the pit. Get down to the bottom and go to the end for secret #5 and nothing else. Climb back to the top and go west over the ridges. Kill another blue ninja. Keep to the ridges and go south and pass another large building. Go to the font and enter the doorway. Follow a corridor and at the bottom of a ladder pick up a Crank. Climb the ladder and back flip into a room. Shoot a vase to get Uzi ammo. Get down to the first floor and enter a well-hidden crawl space in the south-east corner. Kill a blue ninja and use the floor switch. Exit the building and go south. At the end go east to the building you have passed before but now there is an open door. Enter and hop onto a ledge. Turn around to pull a jump switch to the east and kill a blue ninja. Follow to the left and into a room with a jeep that you can drive. There is nothing in the vase. Get into the jeep and drive.

Drive east and north to find the building with the open door. Watch out for the scissors trap and enter the room. Shoot the vase and pick up a Jack. Climb the blocks to the south and jump to a crawl space to the north. Pick up the Hand of Orion. As you exit the building, kill three scorpions. Then drive west towards the pyramid. Kill a blue ninja and continue west to the building the first sentry gun was guarding. Go north a little to find a laser sight in a hole. Continue over the hills to the pyramid and drive up into the hole near the top. Drive down the tunnel watching out for gaps. Stop at the top and use the floor switch. Drive out to the base of the pyramid and go right. Climb to the roof of the building and notice that the gate is open. Get inside and kill three scorpions. Use the Hand of Orion and the gate behind you opens. Use the Hand of Sirius and the trap door drops beneath you. You fall into some water. Swim to the very bottom and follow the tunnel to an empty secret #6. Return and pull up onto a green platform. Run up the ramp towards the light and the level ends.
