Mission 2: Dark Secret
Part 3: Crypt
Map Name: crypt2

This level has an Indiana Jones feeling to it. At one point in the game, you will enter a room with three short passages which lead to switches. These passages are trapped. As you enter the room, the trapped passages are:

Left: There is a spike filled pit that is hidden by mist. After jumping over it and throwing the switch, the walls will move in an attempt to crush you. Once you throw the switch, quickly back out of the room (but not too far or you'll fall into the pit).

Front: Go down this passage slowly. If you go too quick the board with spikes that swings down will hit you. Wait for it to go back up and then proceed to the switch.

Right: There are some pressure plates on the floor. If you step on one, you will sliced by some blades from the walls.

Throwing all the switches will lower a pedestal in the main room which you ride to the upper level. There is another trap up here. Against a far wall on an alter surrounded by spikes and dead bodies there is a chalice (treasure). Grab the treasure by standing next to it; do not jump onto the alter or the trap will kill you.

Stay in the middle of the room when battling the skeleton warriors that appear after the earthquake or you may get burned by the flame spitting sculptures on the wall.

To finish the level, drop into the crack created by the earthquake. In this room, there are two doors. One of the doors leads to the level exit.
