Walkthrough by Harry Laudie


You
slide down a slope into a valley. Go east and press the pushbutton on the wall. You hear a rolling ball. Go north and kill a scorpion. Continue north to climb onto a block. Run and jump to a rock at the north wall. Pick up a small medipack and go west into the water. Press the pushbutton on the north wall. You hear another rolling ball. Get out of the water and go east towards the open door. Enter the door and it closes behind you. Pull the wall switch and get a cut scene of the wall dropping and of the next room showing you a key on a high ledge.

 

Get into the room and enter the alcove in the south wall. Pull the wall switch and exit. A block has dropped in the north-west corner to reveal a wall switch. Go there and pull the wall switch. A door opens in the south-west corner. Go there and kill a demigod. Then enter the alcove and pick up a Silver Key from the fountain. Exit and dive into the water pool. Go to the east wall of the fountain and pull an underwater lever. You hear a trap door drop open. Pull up and climb the ladder on the north wall. Go through the open trap door and shimmy to the left. Save the game in front of the wall switch for a tight timed run. Pull the wall switch and run to the open door at the west end of the ledge. I sprinted down the ledge and side jumped into the open door. Once inside the corridor, the door will stay open.

 

Follow the corridor and climb down a ladder. Go south and kill a bat. Press the pushbutton on the end wall and get a cut scene of a rope in the main room. Go back and climb the ladder. Back flip at the top into the tunnel. Follow to the tunnel to the ledge and use the rope to swing across to the south ledge. Pick up the Gold Key from the pedestal. A skeleton appears but ignore it and just drop into the water. Pull up and go east. Use the two keys to open the big gate. Run up the right side of the stairs. When the left spike ball passes, side jump to the left to avoid the right spike ball.

 

At the top of the stairs you enter a room and see two wall switches. This is another tight timed run over the deadly water. Pull the right wall switch and a trap door rises over the water. Run to the left and pull the left wall switch and another trap door rises over the water. Side jump to the right and sprint over the two trap doors before they drop and you drop with them. Follow the tunnel to enter a room and the door closes behind you. Kill a dog that wakes up and attacks you. Go to the north-west corner. Face south and look up to see a jump switch. Walk to the very front of the short block, jump up, and then use grab. It takes a few tries but you will grab the block above with your fingernails. Pull up and climb higher to pull down the jump switch. This lowers the spikes on the south wall ledge. Use the two slopes to get to the safe south high ledge. Run and jump to the north-west onto a block in front of a ladder.

 

Climb the ladder and pull up into a large outdoor temple area. Go down the stairs and kill the crocodile in the water. Go south-west to the top of a hill and kill two bats. Look to the south and see an alcove behind some wooden platforms. Go to the south-east corner of the area next to a wall. Run and jump to the platforms and then run and jump into the alcoves. The platforms drop behind you and two spike balls roll down the hill. Pick up secret #1, grenade normal ammo and the grenade gun. You have to kill another bat while you are there. Jump back carefully to avoid the spike balls.

 

Go back to the water pool and dive in. Look on the east side block to find and pull an underwater lever. Pull up and go to the west wall where a block has dropped. Hop into the alcove and pull the wall switch. You get a cut scene of a descending block in the pool floor. Do not waste time running for the hole. The block is timed. When the wall switch resets, pull it again and now run for the hole. Without the cut scene to waste time, it is an easy run. Swim to the end of the short tunnel and pull up to the west. Climb the ladder and shimmy to the right. Go to the back of the alcove and jump up to grab the ceiling. Monkey swing south over the slope and drop into an alcove. Turn the corner and pick up the shotgun. You get a cut scene of a skeleton on the opposite side of the window from you. Slide down the slope and into an opening above the waterfalls. Press the pushbutton on the north wall and hear a trap door drop open.

 

Slide down into the water and pull up on the east side. Climb the ladder at a waterfall and go through the open trap door. Shimmy to the left to land on a ledge. Go around to the west wall and notice a barrier block that prevents you from going south. Drop in the hole near the barrier block and pull down a jump switch. Destroy the skeleton and crocodile with grenades. If you just shoot the skeleton into the water, it does not die and hacks at you as you swim later. Climb the ladder again and go west to see that the barrier block is gone. Go south and shoot a skeleton off the ledge. Go to the end and pick up red shotgun shells. Go north and cross the bridge to the east ledge. Go to the south end for blue shotgun shells. Go north and watch out for the open trap door. Jump into an alcove and pick up the Mars key from the pedestal. You get a cut scene of skeletons on the ledge. The trap door closes behind you. Shoot the three skeletons off the ledge.

 

Dive into the water and pull up to the east. Go to the north-east corner and enter the open door. At the slope, slide down backwards and pull down a jump switch at the end. Side down another slope and jump and roll to slide down backwards. Drop into a hole and immediately do two back flips to get out of the hole and out of range of a spike ball. A gate opens in the east wall when the spike ball falls into the hole.

 

Enter the gate and follow the tunnel to an outdoor temple. Run around the base of the stairs and kill four dogs. Use the pistols because when I used grenades, the game crashed. Go to the south-east corner and look for a bright green plant on a block at the east wall. Hop onto that block to pick up a Silver Key. Go to the north-east corner and get into the water pool. Pick up red shotgun shells and pull the underwater lever on the west wall. You get a cut scene of a trap door dropping. Get out of the water and go east. You can pick up a large medipack from a block at the north wall. Continue east and climb the ladder on the north wall. Go through the open trap door and shimmy to the right and drop onto a ledge.

 

Ignore the central area for now and go to the east ledge. Use the Silver Key to open the gate. Go down the stairs and see yourself on the other side of a mirror room. Go west and pick up the torch off the pedestal. Drop it somewhere safe where you can get it again. Dive into the water beside the pedestal and pull the underwater lever. Surface and see that the pedestal is on fire. Get the torch and light it on the pedestal. Go east and light the two middle wall torches. The outer two wall torches are spike traps. The door in the east wall opens.

 

Enter the open gate and follow the tunnel to a small room. Pick up a large medipack from the block. Go to the east side of the block and pull the wall switch on the block. The east door opens. Enter the east door and it closes. Go to the central platform and pick up the Gold Key. Kill the four dogs that you have awakened. The south gate also opens. Enter there to press a pushbutton to open the entrance gate. Exit and turn to the right. Use the Gold Key to open the gate. Enter and pull the wall switch and get a cut scene of a block dropping on a ledge. Exit back to the ledge. Jump on the central area and awaken skeletons. Go to the south wall and pick up a Venus Key that was underneath the dropped block. Go to the central area and run around the platform. Use the grenade gun to destroy the four skeletons that you have aroused. Go to the north-west structure and use the Mars Key. Go to the south-west structure and use the Venus Key.

 

A block has risen in the south-east corner. Climb onto the block and then onto the upper platform. Seth has arrived and shoots blue fire at you. Run to the four corner blocks and press four pushbuttons. The central block will drop. Go there and pick up the Blue Gem. You get a cut scene of a block dropping in the water pool at the ground floor. Leave Seth and safety drop to the platform below. Use the north wall ladder to climb down to the ground. Go to the water and swim into the underwater tunnel. Follow it and a block drops in front of you. You swim out into a familiar pool. Go to the south wall and climb down the ladder. Safety drop to the floor and go to the north-east. Use the Blue Gem to open the east gate. Enter the east gate and follow the tunnel to a room with a small gold pyramid. You get a flyby of the small gold pyramid and the level ends.
