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.
