Guide Pathways into Darkness: The Obsidian Mines

Walkthrough

1
Enter the pyramid in the Yucatan Peninsula.
2
Descend through 25 levels, facing monsters created by the Dreaming God.
3
The Dreaming God will fully awaken in five game days; you must stop it before then.
4
Utilize conversations with dead individuals via a yellow crystal to gain puzzle hints, monster strategies, and story information.
5
Keywords are crucial for conversations; if a keyword yields no response, the dead person will ask for clarification.
6
Combat requires careful strategy; running and gunning is not effective.
7
Monsters respawn, ammo is scarce, and you move at a similar pace to enemies.
8
Health can only be regained by resting (which speeds up time and leaves you vulnerable) or by using rare blue potions.
9
Blue potions are essential for curing poison and should be saved for later levels.
10
You start with only a Walther P4 handgun and a survival knife for roughly half the game.
11
Collect items throughout the pyramid; every two points gained from items increase your health by one point.
12
Items include weapons, crystals with special powers (except the unlimited-use yellow crystal), potions with temporary effects, miscellaneous items for puzzles, and treasure that increases score and health.
13
Solve puzzles using found items and information from conversations.
14
Reach the bottom level and detonate a low-yield nuclear device to stun the Dreaming God and bury it.

Conserve ammunition and health whenever possible.
