DANGEROUS CAVES
Level by Chris Hoeppner
Walkthrough by Yoav
You begin in a short passage that brings you out to a large open area
covered with grass and a few half pillars around. Kill the ninja and get his
Uzis, then head west toward the green leaf trap and just drop into it, you
slide down to an underground Egyptian room. First kill the two ninjas, now look
around, there're four pillars and closed double stone doors. Go toward the NE
pillar and press on the face tile switch to the door.
Go to the next room and get the short flyby showing the shark swimming
out through the open gate and meantime the door will close behind you. Proceed
around the pool and see one cartouche receptacle left of the missing or
invisible closed door, but when you come back here later you'll see two
receptacles! Sounds strange indeed, maybe it's a bug but it does not spoil the
level.
Anyway, jump into the pool and swim through the short tunnel to the
next large cave with lake. You can climb onto the ledge from the east side and
get the medipack, but you cannot climb to other places around the lake. Just
keep swimming north into the short tunnel with closed gate in the front. Climb
out onto the left ledge, pick up The Timeless Sands which opens the
gate, then press the tile switch that opens door to room you're going to reach
soon. Jump back to the tunnel and notice you are swimming toward the open gate
and not back the lake(!) and get out of the tunnel.
Follow the short passage and find yourself in one of those highest
small places of the lake. Kill the small red scorpion, then see that you can
jump grab ceiling and monkeyswing acroos the lake to other side. When you reach
the next place go and get the medipack and kill the ninja. Enter the
room, there're two tile switches to press on, that will open the double doors
to get outside from the lake.
Climb up the stairs over the next place with the pool and shark
swimming. Jump into the pool and get the first Cartouche from the middle
and it also will open the gate. Keep swimming through tunnel and you come to
another cave with little small lake. Swim straight ahead between those two
balconys toward the other side of the lake and see closed door, swim back and
now climb up onto the left balcony. Enter the room and place the timeless sands
in the statue hands, then get then meipack from the left corner. The door in
the second balcony is open now, go over there and kill the ninja. Enter the
room and take care of the spike traps, go around to the corner and press on the
tile, it opens the door you saw earlier.
Go through the door you just opened and enter Egyptian room, there you
have to deal with demigod. Get the second Cartouche he will drop and get
outside. On the main path kill the soldiers and get the Jeep Key, take
place in the Jeep and start driving up the path. Keep driving around the hole
with the pool above and stop when you reach the other side, get out of the
Jeep.
Jump into the pool and get all the goodies from the pool and outside
the pool, then climb onto the block and jump grab the path back to the Jeep.
Strat driving fast across the gap, turn to the right over the short ramp and
cross the next gap.
Get out of the Jeep and climb unto the block, crawl into the opening
and slide down the slope. Follow along the passageway, get some uzi clips on
your way and jump back into the pool you've been to earlier but now there's a
shark swimming around.
Quickly get out of the pool and go toward the receptacles to place the
first cartouche, which leads you the second cartouche receptacle that was not
there before. Place the second cartouche that will open the door in the middle.
Get the uzi clips and follow the short passage, then climb up the next
passage, crawl and get more uzi clips, climb up into the crawlspace. Climb
again into the next crawlspace turn and drop down into the short dark passage,
go forward and drop again, then run up the slope into the room. In front of you
there are cartouche receptacles and closed gate nearby. There're also soldier
and ninja shooting on you from the high ledges around the room and very soon
two demigods will show up.
Kill them both and get from each one Half Cartouche Piece, go to
the cartouche receptacles and combine the pieces then place cartouche to open
the gate.
Follow the passage and you come to the last cave with lava, look to
your left side, there's an opening, but you can't reach it now. Climb up the
wall from your right and go toward the ladder, climb up and find yourself onto
the ledges around the room you have been to already. From your left there's
tile switch you can press, then back to the cave and see that you can cross the
lava now. Go through the opening and finish the level.
