Detailed walkthrough for The Cloud Citadel in Pathways into Darkness. Navigate treacherous levels, solve puzzles, and defeat monstrous foes on your mission to stop the Dreaming God.
Walkthrough
- 1The Cloud Citadel is a 25-level pyramid. Your primary objective is to reach the bottom and detonate a nuclear device to stop the Dreaming God.
- 2You begin with only a flashlight and survival knife. Monsters created by the Dreaming God inhabit the pyramid.
- 3The Dreaming God will awaken in five game days, so time is a factor.
- 4Gameplay blends first-person shooting with RPG elements and survival horror. Combat requires tactical thinking due to limited ammo, respawning enemies, and similar movement speeds.
- 5Health is regained by resting (which speeds up time and leaves you vulnerable) or rare blue potions. Blue potions also cure poison.
- 6Conversations with dead individuals via a yellow crystal provide puzzle clues, monster strategies, and story information. Keywords are used to prompt responses.
- 7Items found grant points, which convert to health. Weapons, crystals (with limited uses, except the yellow one), potions, miscellaneous items for puzzles, and treasure are discoverable.
- 8Be mindful of the Bungie Mythos connection, particularly the W'rkncacnter and the Jjaro, which tie into later Bungie games like Marathon and Destiny.
Tips
- Conserve ammo and health. Resting is risky; prioritize finding blue potions.
- Pay close attention to dialogue from the dead; keywords are crucial for progression.
- Explore thoroughly to find all items, as they are vital for survival and puzzle-solving.
- Understand that not all monsters can be killed conventionally, and some may respawn.
- The yellow crystal for communication has unlimited uses, making it invaluable.
