Navigate the treacherous Secret Passages in Pathways into Darkness. This guide details walkthrough steps, enemy strategies, item locations, and puzzle solutions to help you defeat the Dreaming God.
Walkthrough
- 1Enter the pyramid in the Yucatan Peninsula.
- 2Descend through 25 levels, battling monsters created by the slowly waking Dreaming God.
- 3The god will fully awaken in five game days; you must detonate a nuclear device at the bottom to stun it and bury it under rock.
- 4Utilize conversations with dead explorers (via a yellow crystal) to gain puzzle information, monster strategies, and story details. Keywords are crucial for dialogue.
- 5Manage scarce resources: ammo is rare, monsters respawn, and health is regained by resting (risky) or rare blue potions (also cure poison).
- 6Your initial equipment is a Walther P4 handgun and a survival knife.
Tips
- Combat is a blend of FPS and RPG; avoid 'run and gun' tactics.
- Conserve blue potions for poison cures in later levels.
- Resting speeds up time and leaves you vulnerable.
- Picking up items grants points, with every two points equaling one health point.
- Use crystals for special powers, but be aware they shatter after multiple uses (except the yellow crystal).
- Miscellaneous items are key to solving puzzles.
- Treasure items increase score and health.
