This is a mid-sized level with an outdoors setting for the most part. Your objective in this level is to find the four keys needed to exit this level.
You begin this level in a high plateau over looking a small pool of water. To the right you see a short path heading downward that leads to a small cave that holds an Uzi and some shotgun shells. As you walk to the left, you'll see a ledge with a Riot Gun and a medkit. As you walk to the left of that ledge, the path leads toward a portable medkit. Grab the medkit and drop down from that ledge and pick up the Missile Launcher. Walk due south and you'll come to some vines hanging from the cliff ahead of you that you can climb. Now you are back on the ledge where you found the Riot Gun. Walk to the east toward the flame shooting out of the ground and get ready to battle some baddies. Continue walking around to the left and you'll come across an explosive barrel in front of a bridge. If the barrel explodes, the bridge will be destroyed and you'll have to jump across the gap to get to the other side. Picture: There are a few vines that can be climbed!
This level is full of ledges and cliffs which make great sniper spots so be sure to watch out for enemy snipers around you. Continue across the bridge until you enter the other side. There is a stairway leading downward that you must follow. Prepare to find enemies including Coolies in this area. As you walk downward, you can see a small cave to your left that has an Uzi, a clip and a medkit. As you reach the bottom of these stairs, you'll see another set of stairs to your right leading upwards. If possible, do not blow up the barrels on these steps as they will cause a bridge above them to collapse. If the bridge does collapse, you'll have to jump across to the ledge that has a Railgun where the bridge connected. At the top of the stairs, you see a door that takes a gold key ahead of you. There will also be some enemies guarding this entire area, so be prepared for battle. Picture: The gold key is the first of four keys you will need in this level.
After clearing this area of enemies, go into the corridor that is heading southwest. Continue down this short hall until you enter the cavern at the end. As you know, Rippers are known to lurk in dark places such as this so prepare to face at least one. Once inside the cavern, turn to the right and walk down until you can see a hall corridor ahead of you. As you walk forward into this corridor, you'll notice that the floor is lit across by every set of columns. There are also lit areas that cross the other direction midway between the columns. Each time you walk across these lit areas, the wall behind you will shoot arrows out from the traps. You must avoid the arrow attacks when crossing these lit areas. Once you get past the arrow traps, the hallway ends with stairs that go upwards to the left. On top of a stone block is a Guardian Head which you will need as when you reach the top of the stairs an explosion will trigger and Red Ninjas will pop out from the walls where the explosions occurred. After killing the Ninjas, walk forward and grab the gold key on the stone block at the end of the hall and jump out of one of the holes in the walls to the east.
Now you are back in the area where you first dropped down at the beginning of the level again. Go ahead and follow the same path you took that brought you to the gold key door. When you open the gold door there is a Giant Ripper inside protecting the silver key. I suggest that you fire at him when the door is open and try not to draw him out of the room or go into the room yourself. Once you have killed him, go inside and grab the silver key that is on the floor to the north. There is also a fortune cookie on the floor before the planter to the west, caltrops and Sticky bombs in the north side of the room, and a Riot Gun in the planter in the west side of the room and an Uzi on the ledge near the Riot Gun. Picture: Can you get by this mammoth to get the silver key inside?
Next exit the gold key room and continue walking east to the stairs that lead upwards. Once you've reached the top of the stairs, now would be a good time to grab the Railgun if you have not already done so. If the bridge is still intact, follow the path around to the right and walk across the bridge and grab the gun. If the bridge has been destroyed, you can make a running jump across to the ledge where the gun is as well. Now make your way back and go to the right where you can see a high waterfall. Stay to the right edge of the cliff heading downward until you reach the silver key door. Picture: The silver key door is well hidden by hanging vines.
Once inside the silver door, a variety of enemies are poised to attack. Beware of Coolie ghosts particularly. The first thing you'll notice inside the silver door is a statue straight ahead. Go to the left of the statue and then face south. From this spot you'll have room to maneuver while fighting off enemies. Once you've taken care of them, walk forward and go to the right opening separated by a pillar until you've reached the room that has a Riot Gun on the floor. Now walk out of the room staying close to the right wall. As you walk around, you should take notice of some vines that are hanging down along the wall. You can climb these vines to reach a small ledge which hods a fortune cookie and a nuke warhead. After grabbing these goodies, climb back down and continue walking along the right side of the wall until you can see an open area with a set of steps leading up into a small tower. Take those stairs and grab the Grenade Launcher on the floor in the tower. Now walk back down the steps again staying close to the right wall.
Picture: The red key awaits you in this fire filled area.

Continue walking along to the right until you come into a room where you can see a lava river. Once inside of this room, be aware of the lava balls that are spewed from the lava as they will cause tremendous damage if they hit you. To the east you can see a ladder where a majority of the lava balls seem to be landing. If you choose to go up this ladder, prepare to face a Ripper and perhaps more enemies. There are also Sticky Bombs and a medkit in that area. Now walk south and jump up into the cavern where the molten lava walls and lava pools are. Jump to the next landing avoiding the lava. Now you can see a red key. Jump onto where the red key is located and retrieve it. If you like, you can jump across from this location to where you can see a Railgun and medkits.
Now go back out the way you came in and once again follow along to the right until you come to a red key door.
Now go back out the way you came in and once again follow along to the right until you come to a red key door.
Once you open the red key door, beware the ledges on the left. If you fall off from there, you're toast. Take a hard right after killing the enemies that need to be dealt with and jump onto the short wall that separates this area. You can see the bronze key on a stone in the middle of a lava pool. You can also see a Guardian Head on a ledge to the right. Jump onto the ledge where the head is and grab it. Next turn to where the key is and jump onto the stone grabbing the key and then off onto the ground. Now walk toward the red key door on this side of the wall, open it and walk out. Picture: The bronze key and a fortune cookie sit atop this stone in the middle of a lava pool.
Again go to the right walking down the steps. Continue walking downward to the bottom of the steps. If any enemies are there, the barrels can now be shot to clear the way for you. Now walk up the steps that lead to the gold door and turn left at the top of the steps to the bronze key door. Open the door killing any enemies inside and turn to the Shadow Warrior exit to your left and exit the level.

2) When you walk into the lower part of the level where the Buddha statue is, there is a large gong hanging up above the statue. Shoot the gong to make it sound and a wall will open briefly on the right hand side of the Buddha statue. Run in and grab the missiles, night vision goggles, medkits and grenades. There is a switch by the grenades that will open the wall back after it has closed. |
4) When you grab the gold key, there is a blue flag to the west of the stone where you got the key. Walk up and jump on top of the flag and face straight across to the other flag on the other side of the room. Perform a running jump and leap across to the other side. If you make it, the secret will report and a nuclear missile is yours for the taking. |
