Master The Forgotten Tomb in Pathways into Darkness. This guide details the storyline, gameplay mechanics including combat and item usage, and connections to other Bungie games.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    The game casts you as a U.S. Army Special Forces member tasked with preventing an ancient godlike being from awakening and destroying Earth.
  2. 2
    Your objective is to reach the bottom of an ancient pyramid in the Yucatan Peninsula and detonate a nuclear device to stun the Dreaming God and bury it.
  3. 3
    You are separated from your team due to a parachute failure, presumed dead, and must proceed alone with minimal equipment.
  4. 4
    The pyramid is filled with monsters created by the slowly waking god, who will fully awaken in five game days.
Tips
  • Gameplay blends first-person shooter, RPG, and survival horror elements.
  • Combat requires careful strategy due to monster respawns, rare ammo, and similar movement speeds.
  • Conversations with dead individuals via a magic yellow crystal provide puzzle clues, monster strategies, and story information. Keywords are used to elicit responses.
  • Health is regained by resting (risky) or rare blue potions, which also cure poison.
  • Items found grant points towards health, and include weapons, crystals with special powers (limited uses except the yellow crystal), potions, miscellaneous puzzle items, and treasure.
