Walkthrough And Strategy Guide
The Catacombs (E2M5)
 |
 |
You start in a large courtyard, with a stairway in front
of you. Go up the steps and notice the small pit on the right. Jump in
for a Dragon Claw and instantly hit the switch to be able to get out fast
because the Gargoyles are coming...
|
| |
|
|
 |
|
At the intersection, turn left and run up the stairs
and turn left. Look down and you'll see the Yellow Key on top of a column.
Aim carefully and jump over.
Get back to the intersection and climb the other stairway.
Be prepared for some Sabreclaws and a Disciple of D'Sparil.
|
| |
|
|
 |
|
Once you finished them off, prepare your Dragon Claw,
hit the switch and jump down into the newly opened secret room. Kill the
Weredragons and get the Bag of Holding. On the left of the window, notice
the strange wall pattern. Push it to get out on a terrace for another
Weredragon and the Gauntlets. Jump down to the courtyard you started in.
|
| |
|
|
 |
|
Retrace your steps to where you pushed the switch to
the secret room. Jump down the other side into the water and go to the
Yellow Door. Open it, kill the Gargoyle, run through the corridor (watch
out, there's an abyss) and run immediately back. You'll lure out a Gargoyle
from your left and you might also see some Weredragon fireballs from below
and from the right... kill the Gargoyle, then run back out, turn right,
hit the switch, turn back, grab the Tome of Power, then run back through
the corridor.

A new door opened, leading you deeper down into the catacombs.
Let yourself float down the river, and when you reach the end of the cave,
turn back. Walls lowered and a horde of Sabreclaws and Gargoyles charges
you. If you're low on ammo and/or health, best to activate the Tome along
with the Gauntlets. If you've got a lot of Dragon Orbs, use the Dragon
Claw in conjunction with the Tome of Power. This way you have only to
shoot and turn around, you don't even need to aim and everything will
be torn to pieces.

Once you enter the small alcove with the Silver Shield,
the door leading further down opens. Navigate expertly so that you don't
get washed down... just before the opening to the new hall, you'll see
a wall switch on your right. Throw it and jump down now. You'll see some
teleports lower on the right side, jump into any of them. Walk along the
upper corridor until you see an opening on the right. Go in there for
some goodies and a Sabreclaw or two.
|

Get back to the previous hall. Time to crush the Aluminum
Head. Once done, go up the steps in the backside of the room, step through
the door, and jump down the other side. Kill the Sabreclaws and go into
the room on the right. A platform will lower, step upon it and ride it
up. Go forward at the intersection and grab the Green Key. On the left
is a small room with a Disciple and the Crossbow.
|
| |
|
|
 |
|
Get down again and go into the back part of the room.
Throw the switch and grab the Urn, then exit towards the lava pool. Turn
right and run as fast as you can. There'll be a cave on your right, run
in and grab the Ring of Invulnerability and activate it. Phew... Get rid
of the brown critters and grab the Hellstaff. Enter the teleport to get
back to the starting courtyard.

Retrace your steps to the Green Door. (On the way down,
you will notice that a door opened on the right of the Yellow Door. You
can trample down the Weredragons if you want, there is also some stuff
to get.)
Open the Green Door. Kill the monsters first, than get
back to the corridor with the 6 Disciple doors. Open the middle one on
the right, step in and the other 5 doors open. Some Sabreclaws and artifacts
will be revealed.
|
| |
|
|
 |
|
Go through the door in the far right-hand corner and
get the Blue Key. You'll also see an opening high in the wall, you can
jump in to get the Wings of Wrath.
Also, in the Green Room with the pool there are 2 Disciple
doors. The left one can be opened. Jump into the teleport to get the Phoenix
Rod.
|
| |
|
|
 |
|
Time to open the Blue Door. Some Sabreclaws come at you,
but they should be no problem. And as for the Disciple behind the exit
door, see the screenshot for clues what to do... just reveal his true
nature and smash him with your boots... ;)
