the tomb.exe file supplied by the author or the level will crash when it
starts. You may notice the great detail in the floor reflections. This author
did a lot of extra work. [End note]
You start
inside a house in front of a closed gate and facing stairs to the west. To the
north are closed blue doors. To the south are closed red doors. Go behind the
south-east column and pull down a jump switch to open the blue doors. Go north
and enter the doors. Follow the corridor to a two small red doors in the north
wall. Push them open and enter the room as the camera view changes. Hop back
out of the room as you kill three spiders.
Enter the room and go around the table to see a
fireplace in the north wall. There is a wall switch behind the fire. Go to the
north-west and open the door in the west wall. Enter and go north into a
sun-lit room. Follow the north corridor and open another door to your left.
Enter the small library room and kill two dogs.
Pick up Uzi ammo near the scroll on the east
floor. Exit and go down the south corridor. Push open the doors to your left
and enter the garden. Admire a huge purple flower, and then go behind the tree
at the south wall to pick up the shotgun. Exit
and go south up the stairs. At the top go east and follow the corridor. Kill a gladiator and pick up a small
medipack. Go to the end of the corridor and pick up flares from the pedestal. Return to the middle of the
corridor and push open the double doors in a north alcove. You emerge onto the
balcony above the room.
There is a closed door in the north-east corner.
There is a closed gate in the north-west corner. Go to the middle of the east
balcony and push in a movable block into the east wall. Enter the alcove and
pull down the wall switch. This stops the fire in the fireplace in the room
below. Go down the stairs and enter the fireplace. Pull down the wall switch at
the back of the fireplace. You get a cut scene of the gate opening on the
balcony. Go back up the stairs and follow the west balcony. Kill a dog and enter the open gate. You can shoot an empty
vase.
Follow the corridor and turn to the south. Kill a gladiator who drops nothing. Safety drop off the ledge
and into a garden area. Out run the two skeletons
and go to the south-west and jump into the water pool. Follow the underwater
tunnel in the south-west corner to another garden area. Pull up onto the middle
west ledge and look into the water trench. You see a crawl space in the middle
of the west ledge. Swim inside that area and pick up the crowbar. Get up and go to the north-west ledge. Look
up to the column to the south. Pull down the jump switch and get a cut scene of
a door opening. Swim back to the first garden area. Run to the north-east corner
and pull up onto a column and get out of reach of the skeletons.
Hop up onto the east balcony and go to the south
end. Use the crowbar to open the door in the east wall. Go to the back of the
room and pull all three switches. The order seems to be left switch, right
switch, and finally middle switch and the blocks drop in the tunnel. Enter the
tunnel underneath the switches and pick up the Blue
Gem. A fire wraith starts to fly near
you. Immediately run out of the room and over the west ledge into the garden
area. Dive back into the water to extinguish the fire wraith. Evade the
skeletons again and climb back up to the ledge. Follow the corridor back to the
balcony. Get down to the ground floor and exit to the south. Follow the
corridor back through the blue doors and into the starting room.
Go west up the stairs and loop to the right onto
the balcony. Go to the east wall and shoot an empty vase. Pull down the jump
switch above it to open the red doors below. You can see receptacles for two
gems. You can shoot the other empty vases and go down the stairs to the first
floor.
Go south and enter the open red doors. Go to the
end and push open the doors in the west wall. Step inside and get a flyby of
the room showing many ledges and ending at a red circle on the floor. Go
forward to the middle of the room and kill a gladiator
and a dog that attack you. Go to the south wall
between the second and third bookshelves. Pull down a jump switch and hear a
gate open. Go to the south wall between the first and second bookshelves. Enter
the open gate and shoot the vase in the corner. Pull out the gold piece from
the opposite corner and pull it into the room. Push the gold piece onto the
floor tile to the north with a picture of an Ankh. Go to the north wall between
the first and second bookshelves. Pull down the wall switch and hear a noise. A
column has risen and moved the gold piece to the second floor.
Go up the north stairs and pick up red shotgun shells from the pedestal at the west
wall. Go to the balcony and move the gold piece from the north Ankh tile to the
south Ankh tile. Run down the stairs and use the north wall switch again. This
raises the column with the gold piece. Go back up the stairs and climb the
ladder at the west wall. At the top, back flip to the third floor. Go to the
balcony and move the gold piece from the south Ankh tile to the north Ankh
tile. Go around to the east side of the balcony and use the floor lever. This
raises the gold piece to the fourth floor. Climb the ladder on the east wall
and back flip to the fourth floor. A skeleton
will annoy you so shoot it off the ledge. Run to the south wall and pick up a large medipack. Go to west ledge and jump up and grab
the floor above by your fingernails. Pull up to the fifth floor.
Go west and kill three bats.
Drop down onto the fourth floor. Ignore the Ankh tile next to the gold piece.
Move the gold piece onto the Ankh tile to the west in the middle of the room.
Go to the west balcony and pull up to the fifth floor again by using your
fingernails on the ledge to the east. Go to the north wall and pull down the
wall switch to raise the gold piece to the fifth floor. Turn and go to the
middle of the walkway to move the gold piece onto the red circle. The red doors
in the west wall on the fourth floor open.
Enter the west doors and you emerge into a large
room with a glass floor over an aquarium. You can see fish in the room below.
Go to the north-west corner and enter a short tunnel. Shoot the vase at the
end. You get secret #1 and pick up a Golden Rose. Exit the tunnel and notice a trap door
by the north-west column. Go to the south-west column and pull down a jump
switch. The red doors in the west wall open. Enter and follow the ramp up to
the second floor. There are vases in the corners of the ramp room. Shoot the
north-west vase for red shotgun shells. Go east
to enter the room with a glass floor. There is a closed gate in the south wall.
Push open the double doors in the north wall. Pick up flares
from the pedestal and dive into the water.
Swim north through some openings and pull up into a
large room. Kill the dog and a gladiator. Use a flare and go to the north-west
corner. Get into the upper crawl space for the Golden
Key. Go to the ledge at the south wall. Turn around and pull up to the
platform to the north. Go to the north wall and use the Golden Key in the lock
on the north wall. You get a cut scene of a gate opening above the glass floor.
Safety drop to the floor and swim back to the glass floor room. Enter the room
in the south wall and pull the wall switch. You get a cut scene of a block
rising on the fourth floor. Pick up the brown torch from the brown floor behind
you. Use a flare to actually see the torch. Take the torch and go down the
ramps to the fourth floor. Stand jump onto the block and stand jump to the
fifth floor. Go to the south wall and light the torch. Carefully jump down and
return up the ramps to the glass floor room. Go east and light four wall
torches in the side alcoves. You also have to shoot a spider
in the last alcove. Each time you light a wall torch a gate will open in the
room below you.
Bring the torch with you and go back down the
ramps. Drop the torch on the floor where you can find it again. Enter the
north-west doorway and go to the back of the room. Go to the north-east corner
and pick up Uzi's and a Scroll from the pedestal. The Scroll states: "Put the 3
statues on their right place and you will come nearer to the finish. Blue: 5/1
Green: 2/6 Red: 8/4". Go to the north-east column and see the notation
"1/1" on the floor. This is a co-ordinate system. By trail and error,
the first number is in the south direction. The second number is in the west
direction. Move the blue piece from the north wall alcove to the first row onto
the fifth tile to the south in front of the open red doors. When correct, you
get a cut scene of closed red doors. Now you know the system, move the green
piece to 2 south and 6 west. Move the red piece to 8 south and 4 west. When all
three pieces have been moved, you get a cut scene of the red doors opening.
Pick up the torch and go up the ramps and through
the red doors. Go behind the north-west column and light a wall torch. A block
rises in front of the column. Drop the torch and hop onto the block. Pull up to
the platform and pick up the Red Gem from the
pedestal. Jump over to the south-west corner to shoot the brown vase for a small medipack. Hop down to the floor and pick up the
torch again. Bring the torch with you. Go down the ramp and across the floor
above the fish. Go back to the room with the many ledges. Go east and jump to a
lower east ledge. Go around the balcony to jump down to the lower ledge near
the wall ladder. Go down either stairs to the room below. Exit into the
corridor and go north through the red doors. Continue north through the blue
doors. Return to the room with the fireplace and light the two wall torches on
both sides of the fireplace. Drop the torch and go through the west door and up
the stairs to the balcony. The north-east door is now open. Enter the tunnel
there for secret #2 and a Golden Rose. Get down from the balcony and pick up
the torch and go back to the starting room.
Drop the torch where you can find it again if
needed. Go up the west stairs and around to the east side of the balcony. Use
the two gems in the receptacles and hear a gate open. Go down the stairs and
the gate in the east wall is open. Enter the door and get a flyby of a garden
area and ending in a wall switch. Go east and see a closed gate with a jeep
behind it. Go north and enter the next garden section. Kill a dog and notice a closed gate in the north-east wall.
Follow the flyby path to the wall switch. Use the wall switch and dive into the
pool beside you. Enter the underwater tunnel to the south and use the
underwater lever. Exit back out of the pool to kill a dog.
Go the north-west and enter the open gate.
Jump over the floor burner into the west room.
Carefully push the gold piece out of the room. Push it on the burner as the
burner stops. Then back flip out of the way before the burner starts again.
Jump over the gold piece when the burner stops. Then carefully pull the gold
piece off the burner. Use the same procedure to move the gold piece to the east
over another burner into the east room. Then push the gold piece north over the
burners and into the next two rooms. Place the gold piece on the red circle and
hear a noise like a block dropping. Go west and notice a closed gate and a
lock. Go into the far west room. Turn around and pull down a jump switch on the
east wall. The block drops in the south wall. Enter that room and go east to
the room with the key. Save before you pick up the key. When you pick up the Golden Key, a fire wraith appears.
Run back through the burners and back to the water to extinguish it.
Go back through the burners to the gate with the
lock. Use the Golden key to open the gate. Enter the room and use the floor
lever. You get a cut scene of the trap door opening into the aquarium. Go back
through the burners and into the house. Go south through the red doors and to
the room with many ledges. Climb the ledges again and go back to the room over
the aquarium. Go to the north-west column and enter the trap door. Swim down an
underwater tunnel in the south wall. Pull up into a room. Go up the platforms
in the south-east corner. Pick up the Holy Treasure
from the pedestal. A door opens in the south wall. Enter the tunnel and use the
floor lever. You get a cut scene of the gate outside the house opening.
Swim back to the aquarium and you hear an angry Seth Skeleton above you. Pull up into the room and run
to the east and out the red doors. Jump over the ledges again as you did
earlier with the torch to get to the ground floor. Run east and go north to
find the door to the outside. Run out the gate to the jeep and the level ends.
