Master the twenty-five levels of the otherworldly pyramid in Pathways into Darkness. Battle monsters, solve puzzles, and defeat the Dreaming God.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Enter the pyramid in the Yucatan Peninsula.
  2. 2
    Descend through 25 levels, battling monsters created by the Dreaming God.
  3. 3
    Utilize conversations with the dead (via a yellow crystal) to gain puzzle clues, monster strategies, and story information. Type keywords to interact.
  4. 4
    Manage scarce resources: ammo is rare, health is regained by resting (risky) or rare blue potions.
  5. 5
    Combat requires strategy; monsters respawn, and you move at similar speeds.
  6. 6
    Equip various items: weapons (some with special ammo), crystals (with unique powers that degrade), potions (temporary effects), miscellaneous items for puzzles, and treasures for score and health.
  7. 7
    The ultimate goal is to reach the bottom level and detonate a nuclear device to stun the Dreaming God and bury it.
  8. 8
    The game has a five-day in-game timer before the god fully awakens.
Tips
  • Conserve ammo and health; blue potions are crucial for poison and late-game survival.
  • Be strategic in combat; running and gunning is not effective.
  • Explore thoroughly to find items, treasures, and clues.
  • Pay close attention to conversations with the dead for puzzle solutions.
  • The yellow crystal for conversations has unlimited uses, unlike other crystals.
