Embark on a perilous journey through the Obsidian Gate in Pathways into Darkness. This comprehensive walkthrough covers every level, puzzle, and enemy to help you defeat the Dreaming God.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Your parachute fails, leaving you separated from your team with only a flashlight and survival knife.
  2. 2
    The pyramid is filled with monsters created by the slowly awakening Dreaming God, who will fully awaken in five game days.
  3. 3
    Navigate 25 levels, engaging in combat, solving puzzles, and conversing with the dead via a magic yellow crystal for clues.
  4. 4
    Combat is challenging; ammo is scarce, monsters respawn, and you move at a similar speed to enemies. Conserve health and blue potions.
  5. 5
    Find and utilize various items: weapons, crystals with special powers (except the unlimited yellow crystal), potions for temporary buffs, miscellaneous items for puzzles, and treasures for score and health.
  6. 6
    The game blends first-person shooter, RPG, and survival horror elements.
  7. 7
    Conversations with the dead are crucial for puzzle information, strategies, and story details. Use keywords to elicit responses.
  8. 8
    The ultimate goal is to reach the bottom level and detonate a nuclear device to stun the Dreaming God and bury it.
Tips
  • Conserve ammo and health. Resting is risky as it speeds up time.
  • Blue potions are vital for curing poison and regaining health; use them wisely.
  • The yellow crystal for communication with the dead has unlimited uses.
  • Pay attention to dialogue and environmental clues to solve puzzles.
  • Understand that not all monsters can be killed conventionally.
  • Be aware of the five-day in-game timer.
