Detailed walkthrough for The Blacksmith's Burden in Pathways into Darkness. Navigate 25 levels, battle monsters, solve puzzles, and defeat the Dreaming God.
Walkthrough
- 1Descend through 25 levels of the pyramid.
- 2Battle a variety of monsters, some of which cannot be killed conventionally.

Tips
- Not all monsters can be killed; focus on evasion and strategic engagement.
- Blue potions are crucial for curing poison and should be saved for later levels.
- Resting speeds up time significantly, so do so cautiously.
- The yellow crystal for talking to the dead has unlimited uses.
- Every two points collected from items grant one health point.
