Navigate the treacherous levels of the otherworldly pyramid in Pathways into Darkness. Battle monsters, solve puzzles, and confront the Dreaming God.
Walkthrough
- 1You are a U.S. Army Special Forces member sent to prevent an ancient godlike being from awakening and destroying Earth.
- 2Your mission is to enter an ancient pyramid in the Yucatan Peninsula, reach the bottom level, and detonate a low-yield nuclear device to stun the Dreaming God and bury it under rock.
- 3Your parachute failed, separating you from your team and leaving you with only a flashlight and survival knife.
- 4Monsters created by the slowly waking god, who will fully awaken in five game days, now inhabit the pyramid.
Tips
- Gameplay blends first-person shooter, RPG, and survival horror elements.
- Conversations with dead individuals (found via a magic yellow crystal) provide puzzle information, strategies, and story details. Keywords are used to elicit responses.
- Combat requires careful strategy; monsters respawn, ammo is scarce, and players move at the same speed as monsters.
- Health is regained by resting (risky due to time acceleration) or rare blue potions, which also cure poison.
- Start with a Walther P4 handgun and survival knife for about half the game.
- Picking up items grants points, with two points equaling one health point.
- Crystals have special powers but shatter after repeated use, except for the unlimited-use yellow crystal.
- Potions offer temporary effects like invincibility or slowed time.
- Miscellaneous items are crucial for puzzles (e.g., red cloak, map, tinderbox).
- Treasures increase score and health points.
