Discover the Support Build strategy for Pathways into Darkness. Learn how to navigate the pyramid, battle monsters, solve puzzles, and defeat the Dreaming God.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Enter the pyramid in the Yucatan Peninsula to prevent an ancient godlike being from awakening and destroying Earth.
  2. 2
    The player character, separated from their team and presumed dead, must descend 25 levels.
  3. 3
    Equip the flashlight and survival knife, as most other starting equipment is lost or broken.
  4. 4
    The Dreaming God will awaken in five game days; the objective is to reach the bottom level and detonate a nuclear device to stun and bury it.
  5. 5
    Gameplay blends first-person shooter, RPG, and survival horror elements.
  6. 6
    Engage in combat with monsters, but be aware that running and gunning is not effective. Monsters respawn, ammo is scarce, and players are often under-equipped.
  7. 7
    Health can only be regained by resting (which speeds up time and leaves the player vulnerable) or by using rare blue potions.
  8. 8
    Blue potions are crucial for curing poison and should be saved for later levels.
  9. 9
    Conversations with dead individuals via a magic yellow crystal provide puzzle information, strategies, and story details. Type keywords to interact.
  10. 10
    Items found in the pyramid grant points towards health and include weapons, crystals with special powers (that shatter after repeated use, except the yellow crystal), potions with temporary effects, miscellaneous items for puzzles, and treasure for score and health.
Tips
  • Conserve ammo and utilize the survival knife when possible.
  • Prioritize finding and using blue potions strategically, especially for poison.
  • Pay close attention to conversations with dead individuals for clues to puzzles and enemy weaknesses.
  • Manage crystal usage, as most shatter after a limited number of uses. The yellow crystal for communication is unlimited.
  • Treasure items not only increase your score but also provide valuable health points.
