Run and jump to grab the south wall and climb back up onto the ramp. Go east and south up the ramps to the corner. Pull up into a crawl space in the upper east wall. There is a closed door to the left. Go to the right and make the Portal Guardian and place it on the post. Return and go through the open door. Drop into the hole and go north. Crawl through the rubble and stand up on the balcony over the water pool.

 

Go north and the orange vase to the right of the sarcophagus is empty. The orange vase to the left of the sarcophagus has a small medipack. Enter either tunnel and find a single tunnel going north. Go down the steps and notice that the floor descends under your feet. There is a moveable tower in the east wall alcove. Continue north and see a closed door in the east wall. Go west and shoot the orange vase and you release a wraith. To the west is a bird statue to get rid of it. Go to the south-west corner and run and jump to grab the waterfall. It is a climbable wall.

Dive into the water and swim east to get crossbow explosive ammo off the pedestal. Swim to the north-west corner of the water. Swim into the crawl space in the upper west wall. Ignore the upper north side tunnel for now. Swim down and enter another tunnel. Immediately swim to the right and pick up Pharos Pillar (Pharos' Saule) from the floor. Follow the underwater tunnel and pick up a small medipack. Continue in the tunnel and swim up to surface near a fountain in a large room. Pull up onto the south ledge. Shoot the orange vase for pistol ammo. Swim back and now take that upper north side tunnel. Pull up into a small room. Go west and see the door from a cut scene. You are above the room with the water that you just left. Ahead of you are two ropes.

 

Swing from the first rope and grab the second rope. Twist to the right and swing and jump to land on a ledge with a floor lever. First place the Pharos Pillar into the corner receptacle. You get a cut scene of a door opening. Use the floor lever and you see a block pushing out of the wall on the south ledge in front of you.

Go east and pull down a jump switch to the right of the entrance. Run and jump into the open door in the north wall. Shoot two bats and follow the ramps to the end. You see a motorcycle and an open trap door. Get into the hole and jump over the deadly floor. Use the floor lever and get a cut scene of the large gates opening. Get out of the hole. Run up the ramps and dive into the water to extinguish a wraith. Return and drive the motorcycle up the ramps and jump over the water to land on the bridge. Leave the motorcycle on the bridge and continue on foot.

 

Enter the west area through the open gates. Shoot a guard on the ground and pick up the revolver that the guard drops. Shoot two guards on the upper floors of the watchtowers. There is a sentry gun in the north-west corner so avoid that area. Go to the south-east area and see a small puddle of water. There is a graveyard behind the south wall. Go to the south-west area and pick up Uzi ammo. Now there is a timed run back to the water puddle. Hop onto a timed raised block and pull up onto the top of the west archway.

Stand on the south-west corner block and run and jump to the north-west and land on a flat part of the sandy wall. Stand jump to the west and run north on the top of the sandy wall. Go east and see an item ahead of you. Save the game for the next jumps because you can easily slide down the slope. It should take two run and jumps to land on the item. You get secret #2 and the Right Greave (Rechte Beinpanzerung).

 

Return to the west and jump onto the roof of the north watchtower. Stand on the east edge and face west. Take one step forward. Hop back and delay the grab so that you land on the floor below from where a guard was shooting you earlier. Use the floor lever. Safety drop to the ground and go to the north-east corner. Go beside the fence and into an open door. You hear the secret sound and get secret #3. The door closes behind you. The red water is safe to walk through. Shoot the white jar on the corner block. The block drops and locusts attack. Pick up the Left Gauntlet (Linker Metallhandschuh) from the floor in the corner. Use the floor lever in the tunnel and the door opens. Exit the room and go south and east to get back to the bridge.

 

Get on the motorcycle and drive up the east ramp. Stop in a small room at the top. Pick up a large medipack from the north-west corner alcove. There is a block in the south-west corner. Hop into the east window and get a flyby of a bridge over water and ending in a closed trap door. Look towards the ceiling and see a swinging blue ball. You do not have a laser sight yet. Drive down the ramp back onto the bridge.

 

Get off the motorcycle and run and jump into the open door in the south wall. Go forward and drop into the east trench. Use the floor lever and hear a trap door open. Drop into the hole in the corner. There is a tunnel to the east.

 

Useless side trip #1:

That tunnel leads to room with a guard and a floor lever. The floor lever opens a timed door at the top of the room. You have to jump many ledges to get there. I think that this is a way to get to top of the starting slope if you do not have the motorcycle.

 

Ignore the east tunnel for now. Drop into the open trap door. Go north and east to use the floor lever. You get a cut scene of a block dropping. Turn around and shoot a guard to the west. Go west and pick up a small medipack and use the floor lever. You hear a door open. Use stand jumps to go south up the ramps. Go west through the open door and shoot a guard. You exit in the graveyard near where you got the first secret. Go north and east to exit back to the bridge.

 

Get on the motorcycle and drive west through the open gates. Drive onto the floor of the north watchtower and the floor breaks beneath you. Notice a brown sloping tunnel to your right. It looks like the tunnel you just left. Go west and follow the yellowish rocky tunnel. Stop to pull back a dead body and pick up the laser sight. Follow the tunnel and drive over a guard. Continue driving and carefully break the wall, as there is water behind it. Pick up a small medipack and notice an underwater tunnel in the water hole. Reverse from the room and drive west and south to break another wall. Drive up some steps and see a barricade near a bridge. Get off the motorcycle and go north-east up the steps and shoot a guard. Use the floor lever and a trap door opens in the corner. Drop into the room and pick up the crowbar from the corner. Pull up and go down the steps to the bridge with the barricades.

 

Go south and see a swinging blue ball. Pull up onto the ledge with the blue ball. Go left to pick up flares. Go right for secret #4. Pull back the dead body and pick up the Right Gauntlet (Rechter Metallhandschuh). Shoot the blue ball and a wraith attacks. Run to the bridge and jump over the barricades. Dive into the water under the bridge and the wraith dies in the water. There is deeper water much further west. If you go there, there is a triangular exit tunnel in the lower south-east corner. You can follow the tunnel back to an area with you can pull up. Get out of the water and go back to the barricades. Go to the south-east corner. Shoot three bats and use the crowbar to open the door. Enter the room and pick up grenade flash ammo. Exit the room and shoot a guard.

 

Get on the motorcycle and drive down the steps and reverse your route through the tunnel. When you see the brown tunnel, drive east and down the tunnel. Stop at a 4-way junction. You can get flares to the north but the block drops and a sentry gun shoots at you. To the east is a dead-end. Go south and either drive over or ignore the two guards depending where they are positioned. At the top of the ramp drive west through the open exit door back to the outside graveyard. To the east is a dead-end with a closed underwater trap door.

 

Useless side trip #2:

Stop the motorcycle by the exit door. Go up the steps by the exit door towards the graveyard. Pull up into a north wall crawl space and pick up Uzi ammo. Follow the crawl space to a small room. Pull down the jump switch as you drop off the east ledge. You get a cut scene of an underwater trap door opening. Get on the motorcycle and drive up the ramp to the east and stop at a doorway. Get off the motorcycle and go north into the next room. Dive into the water and swim down through the open trap door. Swim south and down to follow the underwater tunnel and swim up in a tunnel that seems to be fenced. You can swim through of the third fence section to the west and into a wide tunnel. Swim down to the west and you are back in the water under the bridge at the start. Now swim back and get the motorcycle again because you still need it. Drive down the ramp to the exit door to the graveyard. This may a shortcut for something that I did not find.

 

From the graveyard, drive north and east to get back to the bridge. Drive up the east ramp to the top again. Go to the east wall opening again. Drop down onto the ground. Go east and to the back of the first structure. Pull down a jump switch. Go back to the entrance and jump onto the raised block. Stand at the right of the block and pull up to the north structure. Run and jump onto the north ledge as a sentry gun shoots at you. Kick open the door and enter the room. Crawl to the left and around the platform to get behind the sentry gun. Pick up revolver ammo and grenade normal ammo. Use the revolver and laser sight to destroy the sentry gun. Exit back to the ledge or the structure and shoot the blue ball near the ceiling. Blue electrical arcs start on the top of the structure. Exit and return to the motorcycle.

 

Drive down the ramp and onto the bridge. I left the motorcycle there and went on foot. Run west through the gates and drop into the hole that the motorcycle broke at the north watchtower. Follow the tunnels and find Uzi ammo from the run over guard. Return to the water hole with the crawl space. Follow the underwater tunnel and pull up into a military base area. Go east a little and shoot a guard.

 

Hop onto the block in the south-west corner. Pull down the ceiling trap door and pull up into the tunnel. Go east and turn around. Grab the edge and pull down a jump switch as you drop into the tunnel below. You get a cut scene of a door opening. Go west and hop onto the corner block. Pull up into the upper tunnel again and go north to the open door. Enter the tunnel and go into the west room. Hop onto the BBQ with the guard inside and pick up revolver ammo. Locusts start to attack so get down and run to the east. Go north to the end of the tunnel and use the floor lever hidden in an alcove. You get a cut scene of a block rising.

 

Go south and drop through the trap door back where you entered. Go north and follow the corridors. You may have to shoot a guard somewhere during your trip. When you see the walls are green, look up to the east ceiling and see a trap door. Pull the trap door down and get onto the nearby console. Stand jump to grab the ledge. Pull up into the room and pick up Uzi ammo, flares, and a large medipack. Get down and continue north to the corner. Go around the corner carefully and destroy the sentry gun on a ledge. Pick up a large medipack from the ledge. Use the crowbar to open the door and enter the room. Hop onto the raised block and pull up into a west tunnel.

 

Follow the tunnel to a room. Use the floor lever and get a flyby of a helicopter, a large lake, and a guard running into a door. Return and drop into the room below. Exit the room and shoot a guard. Hop onto the south ledge and exit back into the outside area you have visited before. Go south and east to get back to the bridge. Get on the motorcycle and drive west and drop into the hole again. Drive through the tunnels to get back to the bridge with the barricades.

 

Get off the motorcycle and dive into the water under the bridge. Swim north and down the open trap door. At the bottom swim east and north and then swim up into the lake from the cut scene. Pull up to the south ledge and shoot the guard on the opposite north-east corner ledge. Swim over to the north ledge and pull up by the closed door. Shoot the fuel tank near the helicopter on the ledge and the door opens. Aim near the top of the tank above the yellow warning label. Go up the steps to the guard's location. Enter the tunnel and follow the steps onto the plateau. Go south and get secret #5 and the Breast Plate (Brustpanzerung).

 

Shoot the guard below you to the west. Jump down there and pick up Uzi ammo. Dive into the water and swim into the south-east or north-east corner. Swim through the narrow diagonal slit in the wall and enter another area from the flyby. Pull up onto any ledge and go east to shoot a guard. Dive into the water and swim up into the center of the ship. Pull up on the west side and loop around to the right to pick up the grenade gun. Shoot four guards but only one of them drops Uzi ammo. Swim out and pull up on the east ledge again. Enter the open door and shoot the approaching guard. Pick up the small medipack that is dropped.

 

Ignore the side door for now and go east and follow the tunnel to kick open a door. Enter the room and pull up onto the magnetic tape console at the south wall. Pick up revolver ammo and run and jump to grab a crawl space to the north-east. Crawl through and shimmy to the left before you safety drop to the floor. Destroy the sentry gun above you to the north. Kick open the door and run down the steps. Enter the control room to shoot a guard and pick up small medipack. Go onto the south-west console. Run at an angle and jump to pull down a jump switch on the wall of the center structure. You get a cut scene of two large gates opening. Go back to the room entrance and use the crowbar to open the black door in the east wall. Use the floor lever and get a cut scene of a door opening. Turn around and shoot the guard.

 

Run up the steps and enter the room to shoot a guard. Go east and return to the first door that you did not open. Kick open the door and enter the room. Go east and pick up a large medipack from an alcove. Shoot a guard that sneaks up behind you. Enter the south control room and hop onto the boxes for Uzi ammo. Hop down on the south side and shoot two guards. Enter the open door and pick up grenade flash ammo and the Nitrous Oxide Feeder (Verteiler Spezialbenzin). Exit the rooms and return to the water. Swim through the diagonal slit again and into the lake. Swim down the hole and follow the underwater tunnel back to the water by the bridge.

 

Pull up out of the water and go to the motorcycle. Place the Nitrous Oxide Canister on the motorcycle. Shoot the barricades if they are not broken. Do not drive on the bridge center section. Get onto the higher side edge of the bridge. Drive west and use the Nitro to jump over the large water gap. Save the game when you land on the other side. Follow the road around the corner to the open gates.

 

Useless side trip #3:

You can see a closed trap door in the upper north-east corner. To get there, leave the motorcycle where it is. Dive back into the large water pit that you just crossed on the motorcycle. Swim to the lower south-east corner and into a triangular tunnel. Follow the underwater tunnel back to the bridge. Go to the north-west corner and there should be a hole there. Drop into the hole. Use a right curve as you jump between the slopes over the deadly floor. You land on the ledge at the west wall. Use the floor lever and pull down the ceiling trap door. Pull up into the south tunnel and follow the tunnel to the end. Drop at the bottom and you should be back at the motorcycle. I think that this is only useful if you had to get back to the other side and get any missing secrets.

 

Get on the motorcycle again and drive north through the open gates and over the hills as the level ends.

 

Level 4: Icepharynx

 

[Note] This game seems to have a large amount of tedious back tracking and repetitive trips over the same route. Or I did things in the wrong order. [End note]

 

You start by dropping from above and landing in a pool of water in an ice cave. Go east and start sliding down the slope. Just before the side wall texture changes to ice, jump up to grab a climbable wall. Climb up and shimmy to the right into an alcove. Use the floor lever and see a spike ball drop in the sloped tunnel. Drop into the tunnel and continue the slide down. You land in a large cavern and face east to see many ledges of a tall structure.

 

Go to the north-east corner of the east ledge. Run and jump down to the north snow column. Run and jump into the east ledge. Turn around and look at the large face that comprises the west wall. You landed in an eye from the starting slope. You were jumping from the nose. Go to the north-east corner ledge. There is a hard-to-see triangular crawl space in the east wall at the south corner. Crawl inside and stand up in a tunnel. Go north and shoot two dogs and two scorpions. You can find flares in the north-east corner alcove. Continue to follow the tunnel and drop into a hole. Go west and you are on a block near the ground. There is a closed gate to your right. Safety drop to the ground.

 

Go south and see two statues at the east wall. Go to the south-west corner and see a floor lever. Leave it alone for now. Go to the south wall and climb up the wall and continue over the closed gate. Climb as high as possible and back flip onto a ledge. Pick up Cartouche Piece 2 (Laden) from the ledge. Jump to the ladder and climb back down to the ground. Now go north and use the floor lever. The gate opens in the south wall. Enter the tunnel and pull the chain. A spike pit opens behind you. Hop back and grab the edge. Release and grab the crawl space below you. You are safe from the spikes. Crawl in and follow the crawl space. Drop into a tunnel.

 

Go east and pick up flares. Climb the ladder on the north wall. Pull up and follow the tunnel to a crawl space. Crawl though and you overlook the large cavern. Grab the edge and shimmy to the left as far as possible. Pull up into another crawl space. Crawl through and stand up. The west wall is climbable but leads to a closed gate. Go south and slide down a slope. At the bottom, shoot three bats. Follow the long tunnel and you reach a deep pit with many sloped columns. Run and jump to the land on the first north-east column. Run off the column to the south-east and land into an alcove. Pick up Cartouche Piece 1 (Laden) from the floor. Grab the crevice in the upper west wall. Shimmy to the right and pull back up onto the first column.

 

Run and jump and land on a column at the east wall. Run and jump to grab the top of the sloped column to the north. Jump to another sloped column. Use a left curve on the next jump. Slide down backwards and grab the end of the slope. Pull up, back flip, roll, and grab the top of a sloped column. Pull up, slide down, and jump to grab the north ledge. Pull up and save the game. There is an unseen hole in the floor ahead of you. Jump over the circle texture and go to the north wall. Make the Ba Cartouche (Vase 2) and place it in the receptacle. You get a cut scene of a gate opening.

 

Step back and safety drop into the unseen hole. You have been in this tunnel before. Go north and follow the tunnel to the exit ledge above the ground. Run and jump to grab the crevice in the west wall. Shimmy to the right and pull up into the open gate. Go north into a wide corridor and shoot three dogs. Go east down the steps. Crawl to the back of the snowy overhang and turn to the right and follow the crawl space. Drop into a tunnel. Go to the end and pull a chain. You get a cut scene of a gate opening on the high ledges of the structure. Turn around and shoot a scorpion. Return through the crawl space and go up the steps again.

 

Do not go straight ahead yet. You need to make a side trip. Go south to exit the corridor. Go to the south-west corner and get into the tunnel again. Be careful of the spikes and get into the crawl space again. Follow the tunnel and ladders again to the upper crawl space. Shimmy to the left and into the second crawl space. Crawl through and stand up. Now climb the west wall and pull up into a tunnel. You see the open gate from a cut scene. Drop down onto the high ledge.

 

Just follow the ledges to arrive at the north-west corner. Get into the triangular crawl space in the north wall. Enter the small room and pick up Timeless Sands #1 (Vase 1) from the platform. Turn around and shoot two scorpions. Crawl back out to the ledge. Grab the crevice in the north wall and shimmy to the left. Pull up into a tunnel entrance. The tunnel is for later. Turn around and run and jump to the south to land on a snowy ledge. Follow the ledge to the south. It is very easy and there is no place to slide off. Near the end of the ledge, you should find a lower crawl space in the west wall. Crawl in and pick up Timeless Sands #2 from the platform. Turn around and shoot three bats. Crawl out to the ledge again. Go south and run and jump into the dark cave area in the south wall. Go to the back and drop into a hole. Use the floor lever and get a cut scene of a block dropping. Get out of the hole and go to the north-east corner. Run and jump with a right curve to land on an upper ledge. Pick up crossbow explosive ammo and go east to find the open gate where you entered.

 

Pull up into the open gate and return back to the crawl space. Go south and slide down the slope again. Go north to the end. This time grab the edge and shimmy to the right until you find a climbable wall texture. Climb to the floor at the bottom. Go to the south-east and pull up into the open doorway from the last cut scene. Save the game for a difficult maneuver. Run and jump onto the south ledge. The gate closes behind you. Run forward and turn to the left. Hop back and grab the edge as a spike ball roll past you. There are spike balls on the side ledges so you cannot jump there. When the spike balls are gone, pull up onto the ledge. Now jump to either side ledge to trigger a second spike ball on the middle ledge.

 

Go to the top of the middle ledge. Drop into the side holes for the crossbow and a large medipack. Use stand jumps to get out of the holes. Jump to the west ledge that is higher than the middle ledge. Stand jump to the grab the opening in the upper south wall. Just follow the tunnel and walk through the wall at the end. You are back in the tunnel at the end of the slide. Go north and jump onto the north-east column. Run and jump and land on a column. Run and jump to grab the top of the sloped column to the north. Jump to another sloped column. Use a left curve on the next jump. Slide down backwards and grab the end of the slope. Pull up, back flip, roll, and grab the top of a slope column. Pull up, slide down, and jump to grab the north ledge. Pull up and run forward to drop into the hole. Follow the tunnel again to the outside ledge.

 

Drop down to the ground. Go to the south-west corner and get into the tunnel again. Be careful of the spikes and get into the crawl space again. Follow the tunnel and ladders again to the upper crawl space. Shimmy to the left and into the second crawl space. Crawl through and stand up. Now climb the west wall and pull up into a tunnel again. You see the open gate from a cut scene again. Drop down onto the high ledge again. Go to the north-west corner again. Grab the north wall crevice and shimmy to the left. Pull up into the tunnel again. Follow the tunnel to the east and drop into a lower tunnel. Follow the tunnel to a slope and save the game.

 

Slide down the slope onto another slope. At the end of the second slope jump forward to land on a ledge. Enter the opening in the west wall. Go west a little and shoot two bats. Continue west to a branch tunnel and shoot two dogs. Enter the branch tunnel and use the floor lever. You may hear a gate open. Get out and go west. Go around the corner and a gate opens at the top of the steps. Jump over the hole with the rope and follow the west tunnel. Stop at the exit, as there are holes in the floor of the next room. Run and jump west and pick up Guardian Key #1 (Schlussel des Wachters). There is another route to this key. I just got it now. Notice the wind symbol on the floor tile. These are the only safe tiles. On the others you fall through the floor into deadly water. Jump back to the tunnel and go to the rope.

 

Slide down the rope and drop onto a lighter colored tile. Go north and enter the open gate. Pick up Ra Cartouche #1 (Laden) (called Load) from the pedestal. Place the timeless sands in the statue at the west wall. You get a cut scene of a floor dropping somewhere. Place the timeless sands in the statue at the east wall. You get a cut scene of a floor dropping behind you. Do not drop into the hole yet. There is another route. Go up the steps in the south wall. Stop at the top and pull up into a crawl space in the east wall. Stand up and go east to walk through the picture at the end of the tunnel. You slide down a slope back in large cavern. You are in the other eye of the large face. Pick up Cartouche Piece 2 from the floor.

 

Go to the south-east corner and run and jump to land on the nose piece again. Run and jump onto the east ledge as you did earlier from the other side of the nose piece. Go to the north-east corner ledge. There is a hard-to-see triangular crawl space in the east wall at the south corner. Crawl inside and stand up in a tunnel again. Continue to follow the tunnel and drop into a hole. Go west and you are on a block near the ground again. Run and jump to grab the crevice in the west wall. Shimmy to the right and pull up into the open gate again.

 

This time go west and follow the corridor to a room. There are closed doors and bull statues. Loop around to the left and enter another tunnel. Follow the tunnel to a junction. Hop onto a block and pick up Guardian Key #2. You can see receptacles for the keys on the north and south walls. They will be placed later. Go west to a large lava pit. Use the reach-in switch at the north wall to drop a rope. Use the rope to swing over the lava pit. Go west and shoot three scorpions at a junction.

 

Go north and grab the west wall and shimmy to the right. Pull up, back flip, roll, and jump with a left curve to land on the ledge. Pick up a large medipack from the pedestal. Wait while sand fills the spike pit so getting back is easy.

 

Go south and grab the east wall and shimmy to the right. Pull up, back flip, roll, and jump with a left curve to land on the ledge. Pick up a Cartouche Piece 1 from the pedestal. Wait while sand fills the spike pit so getting back is easy.

 

Enter the open door in the upper west wall. Go forward and climb the black wall above your head. At the top, back flip into a tunnel. Go east and stop at the end of the tunnel. The floor of the room has many holes in it. This is the opposite side of the room that you visited earlier. Run and jump to the wind symbol tile that is to the left of the central picture. Stand jump with a right curve to the east. Run and jump into the east tunnel. Continue east to the rope that you used earlier. Grab the rope and slide down to the bottom. Swing and release so that you do not drop straight into the hole in the floor. Go up the steps in the south wall. At the top of the steps, go to the right.

 

You overlook a pit and see a rope. There are two dangerous blade cylinders moving around. Stand back from the tunnel entrance and wait so you can see and time them. Run and jump west to grab the rope. Swing and release to land on a ledge in the middle structure. If you swing too far, you fall off into a deep cave. If you release too soon, you may drop into a hole so use full health before you swing. You are safe on the top of the structure. Climb down into the hole behind you if you did not fall into the hole. Pick up Guardian Key #3. Climb the ladder back onto the top ledge.

 

Save the game for a very hard maneuver. Slide backwards down the west slope and delay the grab. You should not grab the edge but glide into a lower alcove below the slope. Place a Guardian Key and get a cut scene of two gates opening somewhere. Run and jump to the west to grab the edge of a tunnel. Pull up and go to the end. Use the reach-in switch and hear a gate open somewhere. Go to the tunnel entrance. Be careful of the blade cylinder and safety drop to the floor. Follow the lower tunnel to the west. Enter the room and pick up Ra Cartouche #2 from the pedestal. Exit the room and slide down to the floor. Go south into a tunnel. The end wall drops as you approach. You enter an ice cave.

 

To the east is the large cavern but it is behind an ice wall. There is a shallow water pool at the south wall. Go west to the west wall. Go south into the corner and pull the chain. Go east and you can see an upper crawl space in the north wall. That is the exit to be used if you missed any items. Get into the shallow water and crawl south and east under the ice wall. Pull up to the south and enter a room. There is a closed gate in the south wall. Make the Ba Cartouche and place it in the west wall receptacle. A hole appears in the floor under the closed gate. Enter the room and use the floor lever. You hear a gate open. Pick up a small medipack in the north-west corner. Get out of the room and jump into the open gate in the south wall.

 

Enter the tunnel and the gate closes behind you. Follow the tunnel and see many frozen guides behind an ice wall. Follow the tunnel and go up the steps into a room from the cut scene. Place the two Ra Cartouches into the two receptacles. With each placement, you get a cut scene of a block dropping. Go east and see two holes. Get into either hole and turn around to face west. Climb down the west wall of the hole as far as possible. Then safety drop to the ground. You fall from the nose of the face like a common nose dripping when you get a cold.

 

Go to the south-west corner and get into the tunnel again. Be careful of the spikes and get into the crawl space again. Follow the tunnel and ladders again to the upper crawl space. Shimmy to the left and into the second crawl space. Go forward and slide down a slope. Go north to the end of the tunnel. Jump onto the north-east column. Run and jump and land on a column. Run and jump to grab the top of the sloped column to the north. Jump to another sloped column. Use a left curve on the next jump. Slide down backwards and grab the end of the slope. Pull up, back flip, roll, and grab the top of a sloped column. Pull up, slide down, and jump to grab the north ledge. Pull up and run forward to drop into the hole. Follow the tunnel again to the outside ledge. Run and jump to grab the crevice in the west wall. Shimmy to the right and pull up into the open gate again.

 

Follow the corridor to the room with the bull statues. Loop around to the left and enter the next tunnel again. Stop at the junction. Go north and place a Guardian Key and see a frozen guide. Return and jump into the west wall opening and pick up an Eye Piece (Laden). Go south and place a Guardian Key and see a frozen guide. Return and jump into the west wall opening and pick up an Eye Piece (Laden). Now go east to return to the room with the bull statues.

 

Enter the open door in the east wall. Go east and a guide appears out of the frozen wall. Get near the guide to activate him. He lights an invisible torch and lights the four wall torches in the room. Follow the guide back to the room with the bull statues. He lights the torch on the south wall. The guide goes north and opens the door. Follow the guide but not too closely. The guide activates a set of blade traps on the steps. Follow the guide up the steps. In the next room, the guide opens a gate and activates a spike trap. The guide then gets a torch from an alcove, lights the torch and waits.

 

Go north and make the Eye of Horus (Goldener Vraeus) and use it to open the circular door. Go up the steps and pick up the Amulet of Horus (Das Amulet des Horus) from the pedestal. The gate opens in the north wall. Enter the tunnel and the gate closes. Just follow the tunnel and the level ends.
