Complete walkthrough for The Guard's Request mission in Pathways into Darkness. Learn strategies, find items, and defeat enemies to prevent the Dreaming God's awakening.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Begin by picking up the flashlight and survival knife. These are your starting weapons and essential tools.
  2. 2
    Explore the immediate surroundings to find any dropped ammunition or health items.
  3. 3
    Locate the first crystal, which will likely be the yellow crystal used for conversations.
  4. 4
    Engage with any dead individuals you encounter using the yellow crystal. Pay close attention to keywords and dialogue for clues about puzzles, monster weaknesses, and the overall story.
  5. 5
    Learn to manage your resources carefully. Ammo is scarce, and health regeneration is limited.
  6. 6
    Progress through the initial levels, focusing on survival and understanding enemy patterns.
  7. 7
    Solve any simple puzzles presented to open new paths or access necessary items.
  8. 8
    Be aware of the five-day in-game timer; while early levels are forgiving, time management becomes crucial later.
  9. 9
    The goal of this initial phase is to familiarize yourself with the game's unique blend of FPS, RPG, and survival horror elements.
Tips
  • Conserve ammunition whenever possible. Use the survival knife for weaker enemies if safe to do so.
  • Listen carefully to the conversations with the dead. They often contain vital information that can save you time and health.
  • Do not rush. Take your time to explore thoroughly and avoid unnecessary combat.
  • Prioritize finding health potions (blue potions) and learn when to use them, as they are rare and crucial for survival.
  • Understand that monsters respawn, so backtracking through cleared areas can be dangerous.
