THE HIVE

A medkit and magnum ammo can be found when you start this level. Continue forward and grab all the Uzi ammo - don't worry - the demons won't wake up....yet. Move on and flip the switch inside the short hall then return to the chamber with the ceiling full of boulders. Move slowly so you don't get too many boulder coming at you at once. Move into the room then jump right then back left to dodge the first volley of rolling death. When you have dodged your final boulder you should be able to find a wall with a pair of switches. Flip the switch on the left then kill the demon which attacks through the door you just opened. Head down the stairs and into the new passage. Time your run past the steel blades and gather up the 4 clips of magnum ammo at the end of the hall. Return to the main room and flip the remaining switch to open a door opposite the one you opened earlier. Naturally, another demon is released, so kill him before proceeding down the hall. Dodge the flying darts and the crushing steel blades and grab the medkit. Now jump out into the darkness and slide down the ramp. Angle your jump to the left so you are sliding forwards. You can do this sequence backwards but you will be doing a lot of "blind back flips" if you do. Jump to the next sloping ledge before you reach the end of the first then slide down that slope and jump to the third slope. Now you begin to jump back and forth between two slopes which are angled towards each other with deadly lava in the middle. Just keep jumping back and forth and slowly steer each jump towards the right. You will make your way down to the right where the slope is flat enough so you won't slide back. A demon moves in from the left so take care of him before advancing into this lava chamber. Two more demons will appear as you make your way through this next challenging section. Kill them as soon as you are in range. Head to the ledge on the left and jump over the pit and get the medkit. Now head to the large pit in the middle of this area and jump down onto the ledge in the pit. At one end of this pit is an area with lava and several sloped rocks. Drop to the lower ledge then slide down the ramp, jumping at the last second to grab onto the opposite rock and pull up. Here you will find SECRET #1: a medkit (at least it's a big one). Now repeat the sequence of jumps to get out of this area. When you are back to the ledge in the main pit you can do a running leap to the far side of the pit and pull up out of here. Now head back to where you first entered this area and look out over the lava. Two gold doors are on the opposite wall and several sloped lava pillars will assist you in reaching them. For now, jump to your right over the lava and follow the path to the top then jump out to the stone in the middle of the lava and get the Uzi clips. Jump to the next lower column and get more Uzi ammo then jump to the rock on your left. This opens the door on the right which is on a timer, so quickly jump back to the previous rock then back to the walkway and follow it around to the left until you can do a running jump over the lava and grab and pull up to the doorway and enter. For the record - the left door is just a decoy. It is very difficult to open and there is nothing inside but a switch to let you back out. Inside the next room, drop off the top ledge and go right, then forward, then right, and climb up to the ledge. Turn and jump to the middle ledge and kill the pair of demons which hatch as you land. Jump over the pit and grab and pull up the the next ledge and head up the stairs to kill the Centurion who is guarding the hole which leads to the room below. Grab the Uzi ammo from the stone then slide down the ramp to the underground lake. Several demons lurk around the edge of the lake and will shoot fireballs at you as you swim around. You need to get out of the water fast so you can fight back, so find the low platform over to your left and climb out of the water. Open fire and kill the first demon before jumping to the big black rock. Now jump to the slope and slide down backwards and grab on. Shimmy to the right and pull up to the ledge and kill another demon who attacks from the right. Dive back in the lake and head to the other corner where a demon is probably there to greet you. Kill him then take the magnum ammo. With all three demons out of the way we can now safely go on a treasure hunt. Begin to explore all the underwater corners of the lake. Items are located everywhere including some directly under that central rock structure. When you are done exploring you should have added the following items to your inventory: 5 medkits and 2 Uzi clips. Now head for the ledge along the far wall where three more demons will come to life when you get close enough. Kill all three, then climb up to their ledge and drop down into the pit they were guarding to retrieve ten (yes 10!) Uzi clips. Climb back out of the pit and drop another pair of demons then jump to the tall rock pillar to claim some magnum clips. Still not enough stuff? Okay - swim over to the black ledge and get out of the water. then jump to the sloped section of the central structure. Jump again to reach the next higher ledge then jump and grab to pull up to the top ledge. Follow it around to the side and get the Uzi clips before continuing to the top. When you reach the barrier, you can climb up and over it to retrieve a pair of magnum clips. Now return to the water and get out on that black ledge again then turn and jump to the large black rock then jump to the ledge on the left and get the Uzi ammo. Finally, go to the large door and flip both of the switches to open the two doors leading to the next deadly chamber. As you enter the room, a pair of Centurions come to life and attack. Run, jump and flip about madly as you fill these bad guys full of lead. Use the central columns as protection and lead them in circles as you back flip and fire continuously. Clean out the room, adding two medkits and 6 clips of Uzi ammo to your growing collection of items. Now flip all those switches in the center of the room to open some doors leading out of here. The switches release another demon which you can easily take care of. The next room has three pods which will release another pair of demons and a Centurion. When you have emptied the room of all the creatures you can take a swim down to a switch on the right which opens a door on the left. Swim inside to get a medkit and a lot of Uzi ammo (8 clips). Now return to the main pool and flip the left switch to open the right door. Take a big breath before entering this next area. The small maze of underwater tunnels leads to a switch which opens a tunnel leading back to the main lake with the large central structure. Before leaving the area, make sure you collect the 4 Uzi clips, 6 boxes of shells and the medkit from the various corners of the underwater maze. Now take the tunnel back to the main lake, exit on the ledge in the far corner and jump back to the center structure and make your way inside. The doors in the center of this structure are now open and you can enter and kill another demon. Climb onto the ledge by the door then drop down and jump to the next ledge where a medkit awaits. Head down the hall and collect all four boxes of shells. Continue down the hall past the first door and down to the last which opens automatically (a very bad omen). Eight mummified demons surround this room - two on each wall and there are 14 boxes of shotgun shells lying about. The demons won't wake up until you step onto the central platform to collect the last 8 boxes of shells. And then only certain demons will wake up depending on where you step on the main floor. If you try to just leave this area, all eight will swarm you and it's all over! Instead, kill them as they come at you - using the Shotgun of course - and when the attacking demons are dead, move around to wake up another one (or two) then run back to the central block and shoot them from there. The central block is the safest place to attack from - just make sure you don't run or get knocked into the lava pits scattered about the room. When all eight are dead you can safely leave this room and return the the door you passed earlier which is now open. Head down the new hall and enter the large chamber with a pair of switches an several pods waiting to hatch. Move around until the pods hatch and kill the demons, then flip the switches and run through the timed door on the other side of the room. WHOA! Eight pods line the walls of this room and a Centurion is galloping around the middle. When he is no longer a problem, cross this room (yes, the pods are empty so stop worrying) and drop down the ramp at the far end to collect the medkit and Uzi ammo. Climb up the ramp and take care of the four newly hatched demons. When they are dead you can flip the switch and run like crazy for the door at the far end. It is on a very short timer so waste no time in getting through that door. Once through the door, you will start sliding down a steep ramp. As you reach the bottom, pods will explode on each of the walls and you will fall into the pool below. Find the passage on the right wall and swim out of this level...
