The Final Countdown (Demo)

Level by Revelation

Walkthrough by DJ Full


Pull the lever to open the door in front of you. Go through it. Enter the side hidden passages to find SECRET#1 and SECRET#2 - both secrets are uzi clips. Get into the next room and jump on the central block to fight some fireproof dogs from there. Now, if you touch any wrong switch or enter some of the wrong alcoves, you're doomed! Pull the middle W lever and the one in the SE corner to open the exit. Behind it, the automatic gate opens. Go through it and pull the lever on the NE platform. Enter the maze and choose the left passage. Follow the left wall to find 2 packs of flares. When using them, You need to drop them to make any light. Launching the binocular light will crash the game, so don't try it. Again, follow the left wall to get Pezzo Chiave Elettronica (Electronic Key Piece 1) from next to the flames. Stick close to the left wall for the last time to find and collect SECRET#3 - 10 x Munizioni balestra normali (normal arrows). Go back to the first junction and choose the passage on the right of the entrance to find Pezzo Chiave Elettronica 2 (Electronic Key Piece 1) at its end. Return to the start of the maze and follow the middle passage to find a slot, use Chiave del Tempo (Time Key) on it and grab SECRET#3 - 1911 Model Colt.45 - from the crawlspace on the left of the slot. Go through the open door and upstairs to reach a polerope. Descend to the pool to find Sabbie senza Tempo (Timeless Sands) at the bottom. Now you can either use a shortcut (resurface in the polerope room, pull up on the slope, jump out of it, bounce and grab the pole) or follow the intended way (swim out of the room, resurface when possible, find a lever switch on the bank, pull it to dry the previous rooms and grab the polerope).

Go back to the last fire room and put the key in the hands of its bearer. That opens the door shown by the flyby, so get to it and follow the next passage, timing the flames, to find yourself in the dark place. The door closes behind you as you enter. Pick up Chiave misteriosa (Mystery key) from the block and STAY on it as long as you can - a group of jackals runs into this place through the opening door, so kill them from beyond their jaws range (you may need to drop off the block to lure the dogs towards you and then escape back on the pedestal to avoid the teeth). Pull the lever in the revealed alcove. A door opens, located behind the walkthrough wall on your left. From the following passage, collect some flares. Exit through another automatic door and go through the next walkthrough wall behind it. Go back to the platforms and hop on the SW one to use the key. In the next room, pick up Chiave di Uscita (Exit Key) and either fight a legion of jackals, or sprint out of the room to get away with the key and leave the dogs to die of starvation, because as soon as you reach the platforming area, it is flooded. Resurface in the NE corner and hop into the hole in the wall. Climb the blocks, follow the passage and watch the camera pointing at the small medi in the fire corridor. Advance and when you reach the golden tile, STOP!!! Turn around and safety drop to the passage (you need at least 50% of health to survive the fall). Time the flames, grab the familiar medi and don't mind the door at the end of the passage. TECHNICAL EXPLANATION: Room 49 is a direct copy of room 66, and the portals are also copied. There is a portal to room 51 behind it, but that room exists in completely different place (as that fire passage you found the key behind). So as a result, the door you can see lead to nothing. There's also no trigger for it and that's why you can't go through. Instead, go up the unmarked ladder to get on the cornice. Jump into the NE hole to make a bridge to Clessidra Illusionitica (either Hourglass Hologram, or Illusionists' Hourglass, I'm not sure). Picking it up dries the whole area below you. Descend, trying not to lose much life (use the holes and/or cornices you already know). Exit the place through the gate that led you here and place Chiave di Uscita in the receptacle next to this portal. Watch the flyby showing you the open exit. Go through it and slide down to leave the game through the clouds.
