Shoot the first node that you come across to reveal the set of silver keys at (B1). Collect these keys to open a gap in the trees immediately to the east. Collect Gold keys (G1) to open a small secret room immediately beneath you. LEVEL 1/2 - Shoot the first node you come across to reveal silver keys (B1). Collect these keys to create a bridge across the mud immediately beneath you. If you collect Gold keys (G1), a pair of bridges will appear allowing access to the small island with Gold Key (G2) on them. Note that the monster that patrols these keys can be shot from the safety of the main island.If you collect this set of keys Gold key (G3) will appear, these in turn will create a bridge immediately to the east, allowing you to enter the hidden area. Pick up silver key (B2) to reveal a bridle to the west which allows access to the rest of the level. You are then faced with a choice by the narrow bridge which leads out to Gold Key (G4). If you venture down here and collect the key, you must then retrace your steps and head north, having elected to take the top route up the narrow isthmus, surrounded by small islands. This is more the hazardous of the two choices. If, however, you ignore Gold Key (G4) and continue around them to the south and east, by the time you have shot the node, the keys will have disappeared and you will have to take the bottom route to the final island. The only way to exit the level is to shoot the last node which is down a pit at the end. This node may be activated by throwing an appropriate special weapon into the pit (like the bomb) or collecting Gold key (G5) which will complete the set of steps and allow the node to be shot. LEVEL 1/3 - After coming down the steps from the start position you are immediately presented with a choice of routes. You may continue due east in relative safety past the trees, or head south to follow a parallel route past the rock face. The latter route leads you past Gold key (G1). These create a set of steps at location (L3) which allows access to the top of the western side of the central ring. As you approach the stick of dynamite at Location (L2) you will be surrounded by dynamite to kill them all aff and reveal a circle of gold rings. Gold key (G3), on the western side of the central ring, open a set of steps which lead up to the eastern half. If you shoot the rock pillar with a face on it, it will blow up and thus allow you to collect Silver key (B1), which opens the central ring. Once through the ring, Gold key (G4) will shut down the monster generator which are directly outside and save you the bother of having to shoot all the Lizardmen. To get out of the next section you must collect Silver key (B3) These open the room which contained Silver key (B2) but by the time you get there, the latter have disappeared. There is no way to get this set of keys. If, however, you shoot the node in this room, Silver key (B4) will appear in the ring of stones uot side the door This set of keys will open the way forward. They also open access to the secret area immediately to their west. Go all the way to the bottom of this area and collect Gold key (G6). To leave the next section you must obtain Silver key (B5). To do this, simply collect the gold ring which is to their north and west. This will cause them to disappear from the top of the wall and reappear within reach. To reach Exit (A), you must first activate the node at Location (L6). This will reveal a coin, slightly behind you and to the east. Collect this coin and another will appear, again slightly to the east. After following this chain of coins, you will discover that the way to Silver key (B6) is open these create a set of steps up to the ledge and the exits. LEVEL 1/4 - There are two start points to this level (A - B), which is used depends on which exit you took from the previous level. Collect Silver key (B2) to remove the rock pillar which blocks access to the main section at Location (L1). Collect Silver key (B3) to reveal Silver key (B4). The latter set of keys create the stairs at Location (L3) which allows access up to the central column. If you stand on the very top of this column you can shoot the node on the rock pillar to the east and this causes Silver key (B5) to appear. These keys create a set of steps at Location (L4). As you continue along the rock ledge a number of beetles will attack you, collect the bomb to shut down their generators. When you pick up Silver key (B6) another set of keys will appear just to the north. As you collect these, another set will appear and so on until you are led to the final set, Silver key (B7), which create a set of stairs immediately to their north. The node at the bottom of the pit can be activated by firing an appropriate special weapon deep into the pit. If, however, you do not have such a weapon, you can collect the node activation token at Location (L5). This will, as expected, attack the node but will also create a large number of thumpers all of which will fire at that point. Having activated this final node, you may now progress down, round the corner to the east towards the exit. Just before the final section, the way is blocked by two large rocks. You may shoot and destroy either of them but not both (unless you are very quick). There is Gold key (G4) under the one to the east which reveals a set of steps down to the secret room to the south, immediately below you.
