Navigate the twenty-five levels of the alien pyramid in Pathways into Darkness. Battle monsters, solve puzzles, and defeat the Dreaming God in this comprehensive walkthrough.
Walkthrough
- 1Enter the pyramid and descend through its 25 levels.
- 2Battle various monsters, but be aware that ammo is scarce, monsters respawn, and you move at the same speed as them. Avoid direct combat when possible.
- 3Solve difficult puzzles to progress.
- 4Use the magic yellow crystal to converse with dead individuals. Type keywords to get information about puzzles, monster strategies, and story details.
- 5Manage your resources carefully. Health can only be regained by resting (which speeds up time and leaves you vulnerable) or by using rare blue potions.
- 6Equip and use various crystals for special powers, but be aware they shatter after multiple uses (except the yellow crystal).
- 7Collect items to gain points, which can increase health. Items include weapons, crystals, potions, miscellaneous puzzle/utility items, and treasure.
- 8Be mindful of the five-day in-game timer before the Dreaming God fully awakens.
- 9Reach the bottom level and detonate the nuclear device to stun the god and bury it.
Tips
- Conserve ammo and health. Resting is risky; prioritize finding blue potions.
- Explore thoroughly to find all items, including treasures that boost score and health.
- Pay close attention to conversations with the dead, as they hold crucial puzzle clues.
- Understand that not all monsters can be killed conventionally.
- Save blue potions for later levels where poison is a significant threat.
