3. Master Leep

Your guide to Level 3: Master Leep's Temple in Shadow Warrior Classic. Learn how to find secrets, overcome challenges, and progress through Lo Wang's quest.

Alright, let's dive into Level 3: Master Leep's Temple. This is where Lo Wang needs to reach his master, Master Leep, to warn him about Zilla's impending attack. It's a pretty straightforward mission objective, but there are some tricky bits and hidden goodies to find, so stick with me. ### Synopsis Lo Wang's goal here is simple: get to Master Leep and deliver that crucial warning about Zilla. Keep that in mind as you navigate the temple. ### Walkthrough (The source text links to a YouTube video for the walkthrough, so we'll skip detailing that here, but know that a visual guide is available if you need it!) ### Secrets This level is packed with secrets, so let's break them down: 1. Sticky Bombs & Rocket Launcher: After you hit the gong and enter the first room, look for a switch that opens a rotating carousel. Grab a sticky bomb and toss it into the area marked 'Master Leep's Throne' (it's actually a toilet, but hey, it's a secret!). This reveals an upper area. If you're quick enough after hitting the switch, you can jump up there to find a Rocket Launcher. 2. Medkit: In the next room, past the guy on the rope, you'll see a picture above some crates. Push on it to reveal a hidden Medkit. 3. Grenade Shells & Fortune Cookie: After swimming through the clear water to the courtyard, look up above the waterfall you just came from. Jump to the platform feeding the waterfall, dive into the pool, and you'll find some grenade shells and a fortune cookie. 4. Nuke Power-up: In the same courtyard area, there's a turbine underwater behind a barred section. You can hit the switch behind it with a ranged weapon. This opens a secret door behind the double doors that need the bronze key. Get to it quickly from the crates on the right as you enter, and you'll snag a Nuke power-up for your Rocket Launcher. 5. Another Nuke: When you're on the rotating statue in the lava pool (after the silver key door), look for a switch on the wall to the southwest. Jump to the small platform northwest of it, then shoot the switch with a ranged weapon. A secret area will open north of your current platform, containing another Nuclear Warhead. 6. The Rabbit Hole: This one's a bit more involved. You'll see a white rabbit near some barrels. Follow it! It seems to jump to its death, but trust Master Leep's words: "Rabbit is Gentle, Rabbit is Humble, Follow the Rabbit." Take a leap of faith and follow it into the water. You'll find a rabbit breeding ground. Head north to find the secret area. Inside, you'll find Jackie Chan's casket with a fortune cookie, a riot gun, and a teleporter. To the left, there's a grenade launcher and another teleporter that leads back to Master Leep. 7. Fortune Cookie (Gears): After you disable the gears where the ceiling lowers, jump into the opening where the gears were. There's a fortune cookie waiting for you. 8. Night Vision, Medkit, Kevlar: After the raised step puzzle, go back to the area where the ceiling lowered. You'll see an area with sticky bombs and a ladder. Climb the ladder to find night vision goggles, a medkit, and a Kevlar Armor Vest. You can also jump to a nearby platform for a Grenade Launcher. ### Notes * Lava Flow Puzzle: After the crushing ceiling trap, you'll reach a room with water before a lava wall. There are six buttons that control lava flow segments. The solution is to press the second and third buttons on the left, and the second button on the right. ### Trivia * Master Leep's daughters are found in different spots: one near his 'throne' (toilet), another in the waterfall, and the last crying over Master Leep. * The level file name is 'shrine'. * This is one of the four levels from the shareware episode. * Parts of this level are referenced in the 2013 Shadow Warrior game as retro secrets.
