DESERT DAM
Level by Michal Mulartz
Walkthrough by Dutchy
You can get to places
in several different ways, this is how I did it.
Waterfall Canyon.
Go forward and shoot
the Ninja on the R at that big rock Pillar in the middle of the
Canyon. Climb the ladder (cracked rock) on the NE side of the Pillar and go up
a block in front of a tunnel through that pillar, turn NE and runjmp to a ledge
next to some Ammo, get the Ammo and go back around the corner, go N into
a gap between the rocks and climb up L, go L and look for the ladder on the
pillar to climb to the top of it, so jmp/grab over and follow the path. In the
next corner on a low block to the r is the Shotgun, pick it up and jmp
to the sloped rock-ridge along W wall, shimmy R in the direction of the
waterfall and drop in the end, look in the corner for the tunnel headed E and
crossing under the waterfall. Crawl through and climb up the R side, quickly
pull the Shotgun and blow the Ninja before he will nick the ½ MP
and Ammo.
The Caves
Look for the shaft
down in the rocks in the NE corner and drop in, down into the water and go R at
crossings to come out into a dark cave. Climb out N and go L past the hanging
rocks, shoot the Ninja coming from the L, before he gets the Ammo
and Uzis in the corner there. Go climb the ledges in the E and go through
a pit to the tunnel with the MS over the Lava, in the next cave is a MS that
will bring you to that green ledge in the centre and runjmp from there to the Ammo
seen in the E, turn L and grab up to the MS, go R around the corner into the
next cave, get the Ammo on the N side jmp over (or run through the Lava) and
pick up the a ½ MP on the gravel path when you go to the exit S. Follow
the path to a CS and go to the small cave with the lever, throw it to open a
gate in the tunnels you are going to now.
Go back over the MS to
the cave with the green ledge and go S into the passage, follow the tunnels to
that open gate in front of a small pool, run-dive in fast so to avoid the Ninja
and swim going R at crossings to a ladder, go up to a cave with pillars in the
lava, runjmp to the L hand pillar and then to the one on E wall, noticed the
waterhole below? Go in that hole first and swim to a ladder, go up, run through
the pool to a ladder, go up the R side and backflip/roll/grab from next to the
opening L, shimmy R a bit and backflip/roll to land in that opening, look on
the R for a lever to open a gate at the lava room and a ½ MP in the
opposite corner. Get that first and throw the lever, turn around to shoot the Ninja
and go up the ladder in the opposite side of the cave, stay on the R side of
the next cave (see why?) and climb down the ladder at the end of that passage.
Jmp over the pillars in the lava room to go around to the other side and follow
the tunnel to a slide, watch out in the next sloped section as Boulders are
waiting for you.
Run sharp around the L
corner and walk up the L side till you see a Boulder come down from the
centre of the slope, go R to that centre and now you can go straight up, grab
some Ammo and climb into the CS to the R, pick up the MP and go
out to the Canyon.
The Canyon.
Grab up to the MS and
go over to the block on the other side, climb further up on the ladder and
shoot the Ninja, go to the SE corner and into the CS there to throw a
lever that will open a gate at the end of the MS from the Pillar (later). Go
out and back in the direction of the ladder you came up from and look in the N
wall for the passage, go in to get the 1st Eye Piece. Back out and along
the ledges to the red rock W, drop/hang from the side and go L a bit, drop down
to the ledge you picked up Ammo from before and runjmp to the ledge in front of
the passage through the Pillar, grab the MS in the end to go over to the W rock
face and go into that gate you opened to the L, follow the path along the
rocks, over another closed gate and over a gap, up the ladder and just around
the L corner a Ninja will attack, shoot him and get the Revolver
from the ledge to the L.
Go on to the E and
then up the brown rocks, get some Ammo there and go jmp around to the MP
in the N, climb down the S side of that rock and drop in front of another
passage in the rocks, follow, shooting a Ninja on the way, to a wide
canyon with a lake. Go L and follow the path along the top to a pair of Binoc’s,
go on to the SE corner and climb the rocks to the top, go W and go over the top
ledges to jmp a gap to the SW corner. Look below for a ledge with a MP and run
off the ledge to land on that lower ledge, pick up Lasersight and MP
and go do a running swan dive into the lake below.
Swim to the SW corner and into the tunnel to another cave, go swim R
into the next and a bit further turn R to climb out at a pillar near the N
side, jmp to the path in the N wall and hop on the block to the R before the Ninja
does, get the Ammo and shoot the Bloke. Follow the path to the S cave, a
grey wall to the L, go R and out to a destroyed bridge in a wide canyon. Go to
the end and dive down into the lake, swim to the SW corner and climb out, look
straight ahead to spot a single red pillar, go over there and jmp between the
pillar and the L hand wall, climb up the ladder and turn around on the ledge,
look L and see some Goodies, runjmp over the gap and grab the edge, shimmy L
and go up for a Secret, a lot of Goodies and the Hand of Orion.
Go to the end of this ledge and dive down in the pool, go to the NW corner and
climb out, to the L at the grey bridge pillar is some Ammo and a Ninja
will show up. Then go to the Buildings in the N.
The Temples.
Go to the SE one and
look in the E side for a CS, go in and follow the ladders up to the Ba
Cartouche. (from here you can take a little round-trip to use the Hand
of Orion, go forward from picking up the cartouche and slide to the lower part
of the roof, runjmp to the next roof and from there to a ledge on the rocks, a
bit to the R, then to the large roof of the N building and to the gate in the N
wall, inside you can only see a picture of Michal Mulartz (I think). Nothing
else to do here, I even shot the picture but even that didn’t cause a reaction.
Then return to the rocks from where you jmped to the big roof and go shimmy
around to the other side from where you can drop onto a sloped rock-face that
will let you get back to the ground unharmed.)
If you don’t want to
follow that path, just go back down the ladders and to the N building, open it
with the Cartouche and go in to the Container area, L and shoot a Ninja
when you go to the ramp in the NW, go up, shoot the Ninja and on the top
floor go R into the next room to throw the lever (to open an UW gate in a nearby
lake) On the other end of the top floor Container room is a closed gate which I
didn’t get to open, maybe Secret 2 ?? and a Ninja. Go down and outside and L,
shoot a Ninja and go E to a lake, look under the Big Desert Dam N for
the tunnel and swim to a room with the 2nd Eye Piece. Swim to the N side
of E shore and climb out, find the climbable pillar on the E wall and go up,
the path is rather obvious, A MS, jmp/grab over a gap to another pillar
jmp/grab to the E ledge on top, jmp to the ledge on the centre pillar and use a
MS over the burners and you’ll end up shooting the last Ninja in a
passage beck to the waterfall canyon, go R and to the end of the Canyon where
the Big Door is. Combine the 2 Eye pieces and open the door with it, slide down
and out of the level…
