'Cabal Sanctuary' takes you into a heavily fortified and demonic-themed fortress, serving as a major stronghold for Tchernobog's forces. This level is characterized by intricate architecture, numerous traps, and relentless enemy assaults.
- Fortress Entrance: You'll start at the entrance to a massive, demonic fortress. Expect immediate and heavy resistance from Fanatics, Cultist Priests, and Death Shrouds.
- Intricate Layout: The sanctuary is a multi-layered complex with large chambers, narrow corridors, and elevated walkways. It's easy to get lost, so use your map frequently.
- Traps and Hazards: Expect numerous traps, including crushing walls, flamethrowers, and lava pits. You'll need to navigate these carefully and often activate switches to disable them.
- Finding the Keys: You'll need to find multiple keys (e.g., Skull Key, Spider Key, Dagger Key) to unlock various sections of the sanctuary. These are often found in heavily guarded areas or at the end of complex puzzles.
- Environmental Puzzles: You might need to activate a sequence of switches to open a large demonic gate, or manipulate statues to reveal hidden passages.
- Overwhelming Enemy Numbers: This level features some of the highest enemy densities in the game. Be prepared for continuous combat against waves of Fanatics, Cultist Priests, Death Shrouds, and Stone Gargoyles.
- Exit: The exit is typically a large, ominous portal or a demonic gate that opens once all objectives are met and you've cleared the sanctuary.
This level is a brutal test of your combat skills and resource management. The Tesla Cannon and Life Leech are essential for survival. Use Dynamite for crowd control and the Voodoo Doll for powerful single targets. Don't be afraid to retreat and regroup if overwhelmed.
