Navigate the treacherous twenty-five levels of the alien pyramid in Pathways into Darkness. Battle monsters, solve puzzles, and defeat the Dreaming God before he awakens.
Walkthrough
- 1The player is a U.S. Army Special Forces member tasked with preventing an ancient godlike being, the Dreaming God, from awakening and destroying Earth.
- 2The mission involves entering an ancient pyramid in the Yucatan Peninsula, reaching the bottom level, and detonating a nuclear device to stun the god.
- 3During deployment, the player's parachute fails, separating them from the team and leaving them with only a flashlight and survival knife.
- 4Monsters created by the slowly waking god inhabit the pyramid, and the god will fully awaken in five game days.
Tips
- Gameplay blends first-person shooter, RPG, and survival horror elements.
- Conversations with dead individuals via a magic yellow crystal provide puzzle information, strategies, and story details. Keywords are used to elicit responses.
- Combat requires careful strategy due to monster respawns, rare ammo, limited player speed, and the need to conserve health.
- Health is regained by resting (risky due to time acceleration) or rare blue potions, which also cure poison.
- Players start with only a Walther P4 handgun and a survival knife for about half the game.
- Items found in the pyramid grant points (contributing to health) or have specific uses for puzzles, inventory, or score.
- Weapons use various ammo types, including HE and Sabot.
- Crystals have special powers but shatter after repeated use, except for the unlimited-use yellow crystal.
- Potions offer temporary effects like invincibility or time slowing.
- Miscellaneous items are crucial for puzzle-solving and game progression.
- Treasures increase player score and health.
