The Gauntlet of Trials — Pathways into Darkness Walkthrough

Embark on The Gauntlet of Trials in Pathways into Darkness. This guide details strategies, combat, items, and puzzles to help you navigate the treacherous pyramid and defeat the Dreaming God.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Enter the pyramid and descend through 25 levels.
  2. 2
    Battle various monsters, some of which may respawn. Conserve ammo as it is scarce.
  3. 3
    Solve puzzles using clues from conversations with dead individuals via a yellow crystal.
  4. 4
    Manage health carefully; regain it by resting (risky) or using rare blue potions.
  5. 5
    Cure poison with blue potions, which are also vital for later levels.
  6. 6
    Utilize acquired weapons, crystals with special powers, and miscellaneous items to overcome obstacles.
  7. 7
    Collect treasures to increase your score and health.
  8. 8
    Defeat the Dreaming God at the bottom level before the five-day timer expires.
Tips
  • Keywords are crucial for conversations; listen for them in previous dialogue.
  • Not all monsters can be killed conventionally; some may require specific strategies or items.
  • Resting speeds up time significantly and leaves you vulnerable; use it cautiously.
  • Save blue potions for critical moments, especially for poison cures in later stages.
  • Equip crystals strategically, noting their charging times and limited uses (except the yellow crystal).
  • Explore thoroughly to find items, weapons, and treasures that aid your progress.
