TOMB OF QUAXET

TR5 Level by Charles Kane

Walkthrough by Treeble

Climb the backside of the pillar to your right to find the REVOLVER and a switch to open the exit gate. Three gladiators later, go up the slope and do a long running jump to the ladder over the deadly floor, climb to the top and get the LASERSIGHT, then throw the switch to open a door just below. Safely climb down and go to the next room.

Kill two lions and, again, go up the slope to jump to a switch in an alcove past the deadly floor. It opens two gates in the room below, first enter the small alcove near the entrance point to find the UZIS, the SHOTGUN and some shells, plus a golden rose for SECRET #1. Go around the ramp and through the opposite gate into the next area.

Jump over the safe blocks to a switch in the corner, it opens a door nearby. A lion and a gladiator step forward, when they're dealt with go and throw a switch to open two underwater gates in the large pool ahead of you. If you look across the other end of the room you'll see a door flanked by two locks. You can do the underwater rooms in either order.

Through the left underwater door, swim to the other end of the winding tunnel and pull up to a small labyrinth of sorts. The gladiator and lion won't have trouble tracking you, though. Facing the gate, explore the nearby nooks to its left to find a switch to open it, allowing another gladiator and lion find their way to you. Go in there, throw another switch and climb over the ledge to leap over the deadly pit and find TOMB ENTRANCE KEY 1. Retrace your steps back to the central pool.

Through the right underwater door, swim to the other end of the winding tunnel to pull up in a curious colorful room. These colorful tiles spell instant death. Simply hop over the raised numbered tiles and you'll find the TOMB ENTRANCE KEY 2 at the end, then work your way backwards to the central pool.

With both keys in your backpack you can now open that door. Well, doors. As the ambience shifts, run towards the closed gate for the revolver ammo there and take a peek into what lies ahead. Equip your sighted revolver, throw the switch and go in. Quickly zoom in and shoot both eyes of the statue head before it has a chance to fry you. Once it's gone, take a COOKIE PIECE from where it once stood.

Through the archway to the next area, drop into the pool and notice a closed underwater door. Swim through the tunnel in the next corner and get out of water in the next room. Find the switch to open not only the gate in the corner, through which another eager lion and gladiator will want to check in on the living legend you are, bringing you goodies even, but that door you've just swum by is now open.

Swim through the tunnel to the far room to find another golden rose (SECRET #2), then swim back. In the middle chamber you can pull out to a funky room with several death tiles and another gladiator and lion combo, both of which will drop additional shotgun shells. Either way, with the rose in your pocket you can go back to that switch and move on through the open gate in the far corner to the next area.

Climb the nearby ladder to the top of the twin pillars and find ammo pickups, then drop back down and pull the switch in the far alcove to open the next gate. As you enter, loop around and pull up on to the pillar for more uzi ammo as you hear the thumping footsteps of... yes, you guessed it, another gladiator plus lion duo; again bearing offerings.

Follow the pathway past a closed door to a switch. As you'd expect, the door immediately to the right of the switch remains closed because the switch operates the door you've seen in the passage moments before. Backtrack a bit and go in and witness a centurion statue waking up. Unleash your firepower on it, and take the COOKIE PIECE that gets left behind; both pieces combined result in a PHOENICIAN COOKIE for you to take home.

Throw the switch and the doors to the horizon swing open, but don't leave just yet. Go back to the previous switch and find out that the door there is now open; navigate through a string of huge empty rooms all the way to the end where you'll find the final golden rose (SECRET #3) sitting in a corner. Work your way backwards, platforming as necessary, and go back to the room where you faced the boss. The exit doors are near that fountain in the distance.
