Go north and enter a wide tunnel. Go to the north-east and stand jump into the diagonal space in the east wall. You have to crawl through to get to the other side. Run up the south slope to the top. Go to the east wall and pick up revolver ammo. Go west and you are on a ledge above the area that you just left. Go west and run and jump onto a bridge. Pick up red shotgun shells.

 

Run and jump onto the west balcony with the blocks. Go north-east and pick up revolver ammo. Go south and past two closed doors. Hop onto a block at the second door and pick up revolver ammo. Continue south and safety drop into a hole at the south wall. Go to the south-west corner for Uzi ammo. Dive into the water and swim into the south-west corner tunnel. Swim into a large cave. Swim into the tunnel in the middle of the west wall. Swim up a vertical shaft and pull up into a room. Pull down the jump switch on the south wall. You get a cut scene of another jump switch. Go into an east wall alcove and pick up red shotgun shells.

 

Swim back through the tunnel into the large cave. You cannot pull up into the opening that you see to the east. Swim north back to the hole where you dived into the water. Climb the blocks and you are back on the balcony with the blocks. Go east to jump back to the bridge. Run and jump to the east to grab a ledge. Pull up and go east to pick up a small medipack. Then enter the open door in the south wall. Follow the cave to a hole in the floor. Safety drop to the room below. Drop at a corner and do not get into the water.

 

Enter the east wall alcove and pull down a first jump switch. Enter the south wall alcove and pick up a shotgun. Enter the west wall alcove and pull down a second jump switch. Now enter the water and notice what happens when you try to surface. Swim to the west and upwards near the ceiling against the left wall. You should swim over secret #1 and pick up revolver ammo. Continue swimming to the west and down. Swim north back to the hole where you dived into the water. Climb the blocks and you are back on the balcony with the blocks. Safety drop to the ground.

 

Enter the open door in the west wall. Follow the corridor to the west. Go to the end and face a deadly pit. There are opens doors on the other side. Jump into a north wall alcove for red shotgun shells. Jump into the north-east alcove and pull down the jump switch. You get a long flyby of a tall room with many doors and fires. Some blocks have risen in the deadly pit. Jump west onto the blocks. Run and jump west to pull up through the open doors. You enter the tall room from the cut scene.

 

Safety drop to the ground. Go north and pick up revolver ammo. Notice a closed door in the west wall. Go south and pick up a small medipack behind the columns. Use a reach-in switch in the south wall. You get a far away camera view and you can see the corner of an opening door in the lower left corner of the screen. There is a closed door in the east wall. Go west and climb the wall ladder. Ignore the small corner ledge and continue climbing up. Pull up onto a ledge and go south and east to the open door from the far camera view.

 

Follow the tunnel and then climb the west wall. Pull up into a tunnel and go north. You overlook the room you left. Drop onto the ledge and go east to the unlit brazier.

Use the reach-in switch and get a cut scene of the corner of the room with the deadly pit. I found the easiest way to get down was to safety drop onto the ledge below. Run and jump to the north-east ledge. Shimmy around the fire. Run and jump to grab the wall ladder on the east wall. Pull up and pick up revolver ammo from the north alcove. Go east and pick up red shotgun shells. Go east and climb a pole. Back flip onto the balcony with the blocks. Pull down the jump switch that has appeared on the west wall to the left of the open door. Go south and enter the second open door.

 

Safety drop to a ledge. Go west and pick up revolver ammo. Continue west and see a hole. Climb down a very long ladder. Look to the north-west and see a door open.

Turn to the north and shoot two snakes. Go west and get revolver ammo off a ledge. Go to the north-east corner for revolver ammo. Go west and pick up a shotgun.

Go to the north-east and find red shotgun shells. Go into the south-east corner and find a small medipack. Climb back out of the pit.

 

Get past the spike bags. I found using stand jumps to be the best method. On the last ledge, stand jump into the tunnel in the west wall. Enter the room and pull down the chain. Exit the room and jump back to the ledge. Either go through the spike bags again or safety drop into the pit and climb the ladder to the entrance tunnel. Go west to the room with the holes in the floor. Safety drop into a middle hole since the floor is highest in the middle of the room below. Go south-east and follow the east tunnel to exit the room.

Slide down the slope backwards. Grab the end, pull up, back flip, and roll to grab the edge of a platform. Pick up the Broken Amulet. Shoot the hammer demon. It takes a lot. I used all the small medipacks, shotgun shells and Uzi ammo and then half of the revolver ammo that I collected. I think it helps to jump up when the hammer is about to strike the platform. The author stated to just use the revolver. When the demon dies, it leaves behind the Broken Thing. Make the Flare Amulet and place it on the post. A pole appears to the south. Run and jump to grab the pole. Climb up so that your head is at a pole section. Twist around and back flip into the south wall tunnel. Follow the tunnel and slide down a slope and the level changes.

Then return to the bottom of the entrance slope. There are eight holes in the floor. Number the holes clockwise from #1 to #8. The hole to the west is #1. The hole to the east is #8.

Search the south platform for a small medipack and revolver ammo. Search the north platform for red shotgun shells. Then pick up the Keepers Cross in the water at the east wall.
