BEYOND THE MYST (DEMO)
LEVEL BY TONY SINATRA
WALKTHROUGH BY MOONPOOKA
THE LEVEL HAS THREE SECRETS, ALL OF WHICH ARE INCLUDED HERE.
You begin the level in a small dark area above a hole, light a flare and
jump over the hole to collect SECRET ONE – PISTOLS.
Down the hole is a long slope so drop down and slide to the bottom, make a jump
at the end onto the next slope ahead of you, slide down and grab the edge, then
climb up and do a back flip with a turn to catch a shimmy gap behind you. Shimmy
right and go all the way around the wall until you can climb up into a
crawlspace. Head through and the grated door at the end will open for you.
Stand at the doorway and look into the new room, there is a block to you left
at the west wall and as you step into the room sand will begin to rise, run
through and onto that block to open the grated door in the north wall. Head through a little
way into the new hallway and another grated door will open.
This next area is
timed and you have to be really quick. Ignore the rope hanging in the middle of
the next hall because I found no use for it, only to get myself stuck, also if
the grated door closes step back and it will re-open. Ok, so here’s how I did
this next area. Line up and do a run to the grated door’s edge, do a jump to
land in the hole below the spiked tile, jump back and then jump up onto the
spike tile whilst the spikes are down, immediately jump again to next tile then
get over to the north end of the room to enter the sand coloured doorway. It
may be that you make it into the doorway but Lara is now waist high in sand,
seems you can’t go anywhere but you can so duck and crawl forwards and Lara
will enter the next area.
Jump past the wall
spikes and enter the next hallway, here are some spikes again and you need to
hop and jump across the ledges to get to the top. At the top run through the
door and enter the next area. Head through and enter the fountain room.
Watch the flyby, then
shoot some scorpions that show up to greet you, now go left to find a hang
lever on the south wall, beware of a second hang lever on the other side of the
door, it’s a trap so don’t use it.
The grated door at the
north west corner of the room is now open but before you go through here shoot
the vase at the north east corner to collect some flares then go enter that new
door.
Head through and at
the junction go right, run past the stairs on your left and go right at the
lamp to enter another hallway, half way through shoot the orange vase and find
here a movable block in the wall to your left. Push it through and enter the
new room. Find the door ahead and get ready for a boulder run. As you make your
way down a boulder will fall, simply sprint through and as you drop down to the
next level do a roll then sprint again. Keep doing this until you can see a
broken bridge ahead of you; jump the bridge to land on a safe walkway above a
deep bladed pit.
Shoot the scorpion
that’s coming for you on the north ledge then go round to the north west corner
of the pit. Drop down to the first ledge then face east and look into the pit
wall to see a large med pack in an alcove, jump to the smaller ledge then judge
the blade to get over to that alcove to take the med pack, then return to the
first ledge. Now face south and see a structure ahead with blades on. Top up on
health because the last drop will kill Lara if she isn’t on full health. You
now need to do a jump to the sloped part of that structure so you can slide
down and catch the edge and shimmy all the way round to the other side. Don’t
try to climb up onto the corners of the structure because they are spike trapped.
Ok so now round the other side, line up with the wall slope behind you and do a
back flip with a turn so Lara lands facing the wall slope, slide down and grab
the edge then back flip again but don’t turn, as you hit the structure slope
slide down and Lara will land on the sloped block in the water below, jump as
soon as you land then jump again to avoid more blades.
Now at the bottom you
can head through the grated door in the east wall which will open as you
approach.
Go through the passage and enter the next room. Here are some blades and
alcove blades which in my game never activated so if they do for you just avoid
them as the route is the same either way. First make your way around the
bridges and alcoves to collect two small med packs and then make you way to the
bottom of the room, look in the east wall for a doorway and enter here to use a
floor lever. You will now see a flyby of the rooms changing so when that’s over
go out to the doorway, stop here and don’t jump down, have pistols ready as four
tinnos wasps show up, shoot them then grab the ladder above you and monkey
swing over the room to the other side where you can collect SECRET TWO – THE
BINOCULARS.
Now get down into the water and swim through the underwater tunnel in
the north east wall of the pool to get back to a previous room which has now
changed and is upside down. Swim over to the east side and climb out into the
doorway, go through to enter the next room.
Turn and slide down
from the entrance, grab the edge of the sloped wall and shimmy left, go all the
way round to the south east corner of the room, now do a back flip to land on
the ledge behind you. Go to the south side of the ledge and look down to see a
dark alcove in the wall, jump down into here then turn and face out over the
water pool. Now do a running jump over and down to the bridge below. From here
turn and face the south wall. You can see a ledge to jump across to so go here
and collect SECRET THREE – THE COMPASS.
Now face north and do
a running jump over to the low bridge ahead, climb up into the alcove to
collect a small med pack then jump into the water.You will see a doorway in the
west wall but you can’t just swim up to it, you need to swim Lara round the
edge of the pool until she can stand up at its edge, now you can walk her round
and into the doorway.
Enter the new hallway and look up; yes, it’s another boulder run so do as
before and at the end take a right turn into the next hallway to safety.
Make your way
carefully to the end of this new hallway because at the end is a spike trap, so
jump over into the new room and have a shoot out with a gang of scorpions. Now
simply head through the blue corridor at the north wall and enter a small
passage, go through and jump down into a new room, at the end is a deep pit
which is Lara’s escape route, so jump down and fall into a pool below. Now
climb out to end the level.
