Embark on a perilous journey through the Obsidian Fortress in Pathways into Darkness. This guide covers combat, puzzles, items, and the ultimate confrontation with the Dreaming God.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Enter the pyramid in the Yucatan Peninsula.
  2. 2
    Descend through 25 levels, facing monsters and environmental hazards.
  3. 3
    Utilize conversations with dead individuals (via a yellow crystal) to gather clues for puzzles and learn about the pyramid's secrets and monster weaknesses.
  4. 4
    Manage scarce resources, including ammunition and health (rest or rare blue potions).
  5. 5
    Solve intricate puzzles that block your progress.
  6. 6
    Defeat the Dreaming God on the bottom level before the five-day in-game timer expires.
  7. 7
    Detonate a low-yield nuclear device to stun the god and bury it under rock.
Tips
  • Conserve ammunition; many monsters can be avoided or dealt with using melee.
  • Save blue potions for critical moments, especially for curing poison.
  • Pay close attention to conversations; keywords are crucial for unlocking information.
  • Explore thoroughly to find hidden items, weapons, and treasures that increase your score and health.
  • Understand that monsters respawn and move at similar speeds, requiring tactical engagement rather than direct confrontation.
  • Use crystals strategically, as they have limited uses (except the yellow crystal).
