Embark on a perilous journey through the Forgotten Temple in Pathways into Darkness. This guide details combat, puzzles, and strategies to defeat the Dreaming God.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    The game begins with your parachute failing during deployment, separating you from your team and leaving you with only a flashlight and survival knife.
  2. 2
    Your team entered the pyramid hours ago, leaving behind a trail of monsters created by the slowly awakening Dreaming God.
  3. 3
    You have five game days before the god fully awakens and destroys Earth.
  4. 4
    The pyramid contains 25 levels, each presenting challenges in combat, puzzles, and exploration.
  5. 5
    Utilize conversations with dead individuals via a magic yellow crystal to gain puzzle hints, monster strategies, and story information.
  6. 6
    Combat requires careful resource management; ammo is scarce, monsters respawn, and you move at a similar pace to them.
  7. 7
    Health can be regained by resting (risky due to time acceleration and vulnerability) or by using rare blue potions, which also cure poison.
  8. 8
    Find and use various items: weapons, crystals with special powers (that shatter after repeated use, except the yellow crystal), potions, miscellaneous items for puzzles, and treasures that increase score and health.
  9. 9
    The ultimate goal is to reach the bottom level and detonate a nuclear device to stun the Dreaming God and bury it under rock.
Tips
  • Conserve ammo and health, as they are scarce.
  • Prioritize which monsters to fight and which to avoid, especially early on.
  • Pay close attention to dialogue with the dead; keywords are crucial for unlocking information.
  • Explore thoroughly to find hidden items, weapons, and health.
  • Manage your inventory effectively, as space can be limited.
  • Be aware of the five-day timer; plan your progress to avoid running out of time.
  • Understand the limitations of weapons and crystals; use them strategically.
  • The yellow crystal for communication is unlimited; use it frequently.
