Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Exit the elevator into a white courtyard with a blinding fog. Follow the marble walkway into a labyrinth.

    In the next room, press the button with the Alpha (α) symbol to unlock a door elsewhere.
  6. 6
    Head back to the start of the labyrinth. The previously closed door is now open, revealing a large crowd of stationary Mannequins.

    Defeat the Minotaur to complete the level.

    For the secret encounter, follow specific paths and triggers to find and fight Big Johninator.
Tips

  • The level features a secret encounter with Big Johninator, requiring exploration and specific actions to trigger.
