Uncover the secrets of the ancient pyramid in Pathways into Darkness. This guide details gameplay, combat, items, and the storyline to help you defeat the Dreaming God.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Your parachute fails, separating you from your team. You start with only a flashlight and survival knife.
  2. 2
    The pyramid is filled with monsters created by the Dreaming God, who will awaken in five days.
  3. 3
    The game blends first-person shooting with RPG elements and survival horror.
  4. 4
    Solve puzzles and converse with the dead via a magic yellow crystal to learn secrets and strategies.
  5. 5
    Combat requires careful strategy; ammo is scarce, monsters respawn, and you move at the same speed as enemies.
  6. 6
    Health is regained by resting (risky) or rare blue potions.
  7. 7
    The Walther P4 handgun and survival knife are your starting weapons.
Tips
  • Keywords are used to converse with the dead.
  • Not all monsters can be killed conventionally.
  • Blue potions are crucial for curing poison and should be saved for later levels.
  • Crystals have special powers but shatter after multiple uses, except for the yellow crystal.
  • Items can grant points towards health or be used to solve puzzles.
  • Some miscellaneous items are required for game features or to hold other objects.
