Level 3: The Scroll of Destiny

Level by Bedazzled (October, 2006)

Walkthrough by Harry Laudie


You start by sliding down a small slope and landing in a tunnel. Go forward and get a flyby of the next area showing a receptacle and a demigod. Go forward to a T-junction. Go west into the dark tunnel and pick up flares. Climb a ladder and back flip into another tunnel. Turn around and pick up Sun Key Piece 1 from the floor. Return to the T-junction and go east. Follow the tunnel to a ledge overlooking a lake of water. You can kill the demigod with pistols from the ledge but it will take time.

 

Dive into the water and swim to the right to pull up to the south ledge. Go to the west wall and drop into a hole. You get secret #1 and a Golden Skull. Get out and climb the hills on the east wall. In about the middle area, you can pick up the laser sight. Slide down into the water and look for a tunnel in the lower east wall. It is very well hidden by seaweeds. Swim into that east underwater tunnel. Just follow the tunnel to see an east branch. The current is too strong, so go south to surface for air near some branch tunnels. Dive again and follow the west tunnel. Follow the tunnel to a room and pick up Sun Key Piece 2. The south tunnel is a dead-end so just swim back to the lake.

 

Swim to the middle of the north ledge and pull up. You can stand jump to an upper ledge and pick up a large medipack. Go west to the platform with the two demigod statues. Go to the south-west corner and push a block into the south wall. Turn east and push in another block and pick up two red shotgun shells. Then go west and see a jump switch. Pull down a jump switch. You get a cut scene of a block rising under the receptacle. Go to the lake area ledge again and climb the block by the receptacle. Combine the two pieces to make the Sun Key. Place it in the receptacle and the gate opens in the north wall.

 

Enter the gate and look west see a wall switch behind a spike trap. Go east and jump behind the demigod statue for secret #2 and a Golden Skull. Take the north branch tunnel and at the first turn look above your head. You should see a ladder on the west wall of a hole. Follow the tunnel and pass a large gate. Continue to the left to get to the wall switch. You will get a cut scene of a closed gate. Pull the wall switch and return to that hole with the ladder. Remember the wall switch for later.

 

Jump up to grab the ladder. Climb the ladder and shimmy left into a tunnel. Jump a floor blade and slide down a slope. Jump two more floor blades and land into a tunnel.  Walk to the west and get a cut scene of a room with movable mirrors. You enter a room with a pedestal and some water. Dive into the water and swim under the pedestal for secret #3 and a Golden Skull. Pull back up and go down the east tunnel. Follow the tunnel to a closed gate. Enter a branch tunnel and go to the end. Pull down a jump switch and get a cut scene of a large gate opening. Pull up into a crawl space at the east wall. Follow the crawl space to pick up a shotgun and drop back into the tunnel with the large gate.

 

Go west and enter the open gate. Hop onto a block and jump to a platform. Jump to the higher platform and shoot the skeleton off the edge. Jump to a south-east alcove for the revolver. Jump to the west platform and go north to a closed gate. The switch was timed. Safety drop to the ground and go back to the wall switch for this timed gate. Pull the wall switch and go back to jump the platforms to the timed gate. Enter the room and pick up the Crystal of Light from the pedestal. Pick up two revolver ammo from the west wall corners. Exit the room and get down to the first block. From there you can use the revolver and laser sight to shoot the heads off the two skeletons so that they ignore you.

 

Exit and go back to climb the ladder in the hole and slide down the slope over the three floor blades again. Go west and place the Crystal of Light on the pedestal. You get a cut scene of a gate opening and a room with the movable mirrors.  Go east and through the open gate. Follow the tunnel into the room and shoot the two women in the corners of the room. Move the three movable mirrors into the three light beams. They only fit one way. When all three are moved, the gate opens in the north wall. Go to the ledge at the east wall and pick up the Vase of Oil. It is the left vase as you look at the ledge.

 

Enter the north wall tunnel and climb the ladder. Follow the tunnel and get a flyby of room with a lava pit and many flame emitters. First, turn around and go back down the ladder. Run back to the room with the water to get rid of a fire wraith. Then return up the ladder to the ledge over the lava pit. Jump north and enter a tunnel in the east wall. Get into a crawl space and pick up a torch. Use the space bar to throw the torch a few times until it is clear of the crawl space. Pick it up and light it on the fire on the pedestal in a north branch tunnel. Go back to the starting ledge and drop the torch next to the balance.

 

Select the Vase of Oil from the menu and use CTRL to pour the Vase of Oil onto the balance. It is not selected automatically. Use the torch to ignite the oil and you hear a gate open. Pull the wall switch on the south wall. This turns off a fire on a column below you. Drop to that column and jump onto a platform in the south-west corner. You get secret #4 and a Golden Skull. Run and jump to grab the column and work you way to the east wall. Go east and enter the open gate. Pick up the Scroll of Destiny and exit the opening. Jump back to the platform and then jump to the north-east to a ledge. You can also see another fire wraith in waiting. Climb the ladder back to the ledge.

 

Go back to the ledge with the balance. Jump to the west wall and grab a crevice. Shimmy to the far right and drop. Slide a bit and back flip onto the column behind you. If you roll and grab the column, you will catch fire. Turn to the north and see the next sloped columns. Jump and grab the first column. Pull up, slide and grab the next column. Pull up, slide and jump to the ledge with the pedestal. Place the Scroll of Density on the pedestal. You get a long flyby of the lava room. The gate opens and the flyby enters the tunnel there as the level ends.
