Master Leeps Temple
By Keith Schuler
Master Leep's Temple - Level 3
Master Leep's Temple is a mid-sized level with an outdoors setting for the most part. Your objective in this level is to find 3 keys and solve a few clever puzzles. You begin this level in an open courtyard where there is a huge gong hanging in front of the entrance to a door. You must strike the gong and make it sound to open the door. Once inside, you enter a with a door to the right and another locked door around the center column and around to the left their is a switched carousel that when opens houses some sticky mines. You can also see an Uzi stashed in an area that says Master Leep's Throne. Opposite to where the Uzi is placed there is a hatch which houses a gas bomb inside of the column.
From here you need to open the wooden door which winds down a small set of stairs to an area where you see some sort of monster looking dude hanging from a rope upside down over a lava pool straight ahead of you, a locked door to the right and a transparent water area to the left. Straight behind you is a butcher block with a meat clever in it and what's left of a rabbit next to it. There is also a closet to the right of the butcher block which houses a grenade launcher.You will also notice near the guy tied upside down, a raised wooden arrow pointing towards the guy. Stand on the arrow and the guy is lowered into the lava. Once he is totally submerged, a gold key is ejected from the lava pool. Use this key to gain entrance into the locked door that was to your right as you entered the room. In this room there are a few enemies and a few explosive barrels. Blow the barrels up and blow the enemies up along with them. After the explosion, enter the room and pick up a bronze key in the corner.

Blow the barrels up and blow the enemies up along with them. After the explosion, enter the room and pick up a bronze key in the corner.

Next go into the transparent water and follow it along to where you can swim up into another area. You raise into another open courtyard from the water. To the east, there is a set of double doors which require the bronze key you just acquired for passage. Open this door and head to the right. You'll go past a water area and head to an area where there are some sticky bombs in a covey hole and you can also see the silver key up above on a ledge that is unreachable. Go back to the water area and you'll see a anime chick bathing and a wall with a crack in it to the right of her. If you turn around, you'll see a missile launcher, but you can't reach it. Use one of your sticky bombs and blow the wall up with the crack in it and the water level in this area will raise. Now you will be able to get the missile launcher as well as the silver key.
Picture: Blow up this wall, and let the water through to reach the silver key.
Next go back out the bronze key double doors and head north to a set of doors that take the silver key for passage. From here head down the narrow corridor that shoots fire balls from the wall and then head left. There you will see a rotating statue with a gong on it. Their is also a statue in front of the rotating statue that shoots out fire balls at you. Shot the gong with a ranged weapon and the other statue will stop shooting fire balls. Now jump onto the rotating statue and keep jumping higher on it as far as you can. As the platform rotates around, you'll have the opportunity to jump onto a platform to the south-east. Jump off and then shot the barrels around the corner and wait for the explosion to end.
Now follow the cliffs and jump across the gaps until you reach Master Leep and his crying daughter. Behind Master Leep's throne is a switch which opens a wall to the south. Enter this area and walk into the greenish transporter. After warping through the transporter jump across the lava river ahead of you to the ledge and head to your right. You see a lava lake with floating platforms on it. Jump onto one of the platforms until you travel around the lake to where you can jump onto the land half way across the lake. As you walk on this section, you'll step up one step and proceed to the left. When you get to where you can go to the left, a barrier is raised on both ends of this raised area and the ceiling starts to lower. To keep from being crushed, you need to stop the gears that are lowering the ceiling. Look to the left of this barrier you've encountered and you'll see a gear box. Act quickly and destroy the gear box and then get out before the ceiling crushes you.

Act quickly and destroy the gear box and then get out before the ceiling crushes you.

Now that you can proceed, you'll see a large pool of transparent water with 6 raised steps on the walkway surrounding the pool of water. You underwater passage is blocked and you'll not get it open until you solve the puzzle of the raised steps. The object of the puzzle is to move the blocks that expose the lava across the water to until all of those blocks reveal lava. The key to unlocking this puzzle is to step on each of the two blocks in the middle of the walkway and the step to the left of the lava window. After these blocks are moved to the correct position, the underwater door will explode open. Picture: The lava puzzle, and the pool.
Next swim under the water until you arrive on the other side. Depending on the difficulty you select, there will be at least a Ripper to greet you on the other side. Now that you've disposed of all enemies, hit the switch to open the next area past the switch. Again, clear the enemies and continue. Once you enter a narrow down-sloping hallway....you'll exit the level.
Next, it is on to the Dark Woods of the Serpent, the last level of the Shareware, Level 4.

Secrets (8)

1) When you enter the first room after sounding the gong, Go to the switch which opens the rotating carrousel that houses some sticky bombs. Throw one of the sticky bombs into where the Uzi is located where it says "Master Leep's Throne". This will expose an upper area which is regarded a secret area. Although not a secret area.....if you hit the switch and jump up into this area quick enough, an upper carrousel is opened which has a missile launcher in it.

2) In the next room where the guy hanging from the rope, you'll notice a picture above the crates of Master Leep's daughters. This picture can be opened by pushing on it and it has a medkit inside.

3) After swimming through the transparent water to the courtyard, You'll see a waterfall above where you just arose. Jump up above the waterfall from the platform into the small pool of water that feeds the waterfall, then dive down. There are some grenade shells and a fortune cookie in this secret area.

4) In this same area, you'll notice a turbine under water with a switch to the rear of this barred area. This switch can be actuated with a ranged weapon. Once depressed, it opens a secret door behind the double doors that require the bronze key. This secret door is reached from the crates on the right side as you enter the door, but you'll have to be fast to get inside before it closes. If you're quick enough, you'll be rewarded with a "nuke" power-up for your missile launcher.

5) When you jump onto the rotating statue in the lava pool behind the silver key door, you will notice a switch on the wall looking south-west. There is also a small platform across from the switch to the north-west. Jump onto this small platform and turn and shot the switch with a ranged weapon. Turn around and a secret area is exposed north of the platform you area standing on. There is another nuclear warhead in this secret area.

6) When you jump across from the rotating statue to the south-east and shot the barrels to continue upwards, you probably noticed a white rabbit. As you approach the bunny, he hops in front of you leading the way. For some reason, your bunny guide stops, turns to the west and jumps to what appears a suicidal ending. Well if you remember back where the dead bunny was on the butcher block next to where the grenade launcher in the closet, there was a hint there. "Master Leep say: Rabbit is Gentle, Rabbit is Humble, Follow the Rabbit." You should take Master Leep's words of advise as he is a wise man. ;) Take a leap of faith and follow the rabbit. You'll dive into a pool of water where there is a rabbit breeding ground above the water. Go north and the secret area will be reported. Now there are 3 different area to go. In the middle there is Jackie Chan's casket with a fortune cookie on top of it. To the left there is a riot gun on the floor and a teleporter to an area that ties into areas you have already visited. To the left is a grenade launcher with a teleporter to Master Leep.

7) After you have disabled the gears to the area where the ceiling lowers, jump into the opening where the gears are. There is a fortune cookie waiting for you there.

8) After solving the raised step puzzle, go back to the area where the ceiling lowered. You'll see an area is exposed that has some sticky bombs on the ground ahead of a ladder. Climb the ladder and you've reached the last secret area. There are night glasses, a medkit, and kelvar armor on this platform. You can also leap across to a small platform that has a grenade launcher nestled in it.
