Complete walkthrough for The Rescue Mission in Pathways into Darkness. Learn how to navigate the pyramid, defeat monsters, solve puzzles, and stop the Dreaming God.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Navigate the twenty-five levels of the otherworldly pyramid.
  2. 2
    Battle bizarre monsters, many of which cannot be killed conventionally and respawn over time.
  3. 3
    Conserve rare ammunition and health, as you are often under-equipped.
  4. 4
    Solve tricky puzzles using clues gathered from conversations with dead individuals via a magic yellow crystal.
  5. 5
    Utilize various items found within the pyramid, including weapons, crystals with special powers, potions, and miscellaneous puzzle-solving objects.
  6. 6
    Collect treasures to increase your score and health points.
  7. 7
    Manage your health carefully, as it can only be regained by resting (which speeds up time and leaves you vulnerable) or by using exceedingly rare blue potions.
  8. 8
    Be aware of poison effects from monsters, which can only be cured by blue potions.
  9. 9
    Defeat the Dreaming God at the bottom level before it fully awakens in five game days.
Tips
  • Conversations with dead individuals are crucial for puzzle information, monster strategies, and story details. Type keywords found in previous statements to get responses.
  • Combat requires a tactical approach; "running and gunning" is not effective.
  • Blue potions are vital for curing poison and should be saved for later levels.
  • The yellow crystal for conversations can be used an unlimited number of times. Other crystals have limited uses before shattering.
  • Picking up certain objects grants points, with every two points awarding one health point.
  • Resting is risky due to time acceleration and vulnerability, so use it cautiously.
