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
- 1Navigate the twenty-five levels of the otherworldly pyramid.
- 2Battle bizarre monsters, many of which cannot be killed conventionally and respawn over time.
- 3Conserve rare ammunition and health, as you are often under-equipped.
- 4Solve tricky puzzles using clues gathered from conversations with dead individuals via a magic yellow crystal.
- 5Utilize various items found within the pyramid, including weapons, crystals with special powers, potions, and miscellaneous puzzle-solving objects.
- 6Collect treasures to increase your score and health points.
- 7Manage 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.
- 8Be aware of poison effects from monsters, which can only be cured by blue potions.
- 9Defeat 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.
