Creature's Knightmare
As the time approaches for you to face the hardest
challenges, your subconscious mind takes action in you
final rest, as your fears take the form of the Creature's
Knightmare. Everyone wants your blood, so your goal is to
survive, locate the key which unlocks the door to your
salvation, then take the leap of faith.
Jump to the south from the pillar you stand on to drink the
2x potion
Jump towards the ledge in the west, and around the corner
is a save terminal
Jump back to the start pillar, and then jump north to the
ledge opposite where the 2x potion was
Jump back to the pillar you started on, then pillar hop
directly to the east
Follow that path to a wooden dead end, but as you approach,
an opening will appear
Pass through the opening, and immediately turn right and
take the thin ledge up to that area with terminals and
switches (prepare to do battle)
Recharge, save, and flip the switch, then jump back down to
the path and continue through the door that just opened
Pillar hop towards the left, past the gargoyle on the
right, and up to the green door (it opens upon approaching)
The second green door has a delay opening, but will open
eventually, and then continue your pillar hopping across to
the stairway
Go up the stairs, past the gargoyles, and to the left
Take the center ledge, through the two gargoyles, and
continue pillar hopping around to the left (you'll go by a
terminal and a 1x recharge)
After the 1x recharge is an alcove which has a shelf
containing a key, grab the key
Jump across to the ledge which leads to a wooden door
Flip the switch next to the door, pass through and
following the ledge around to the left
Jump across to the stairs with the archers, and follow that
corridor until it drops into a lower level, orange wall on
right, and nook with save term and recharge on left
Continue past nook, and return to the pillar you started
the level on
Again, pillar hop towards the east as before, through the
wooden door which should be open now, towards the left
where the green door is
This time, instead of going through the green door, go to
your right (due north), past the gargoyle through the small
opening
You want to go straight, but the corridor is elevated, so
turn right, then do an about face to jump to the next
higher ledge, then jump up on the path that continues north
Follow that path directly back, and then use your key on
the switch you'll find on the left
Pass through the door, take a right, go down a ways, then
take a left
You'll now see a pod door in the distance, with space
between you and the door, just ignore the door and jump
into space to complete the level
Eye Candy / Extras
A faster way to get the key is to jump north from the
starting point, follow the corridor past the nook with the
recharge and save term, turn left and follow the corridor,
turn right past the long window out to space, follow this
corridor past another window, a bunch of crystals, until
you reach some hightech plasma ammo and the nook which
contains the key
On the shortcut to get the key, when you pass by the
crystals, there is a secret door behind the actininum
crystal which leads to all kinds of goodies (at the end is
a teleporter to the ledge with the 2x recharge)
After passing the crystals and reaching the hightech
plasma, if you turn around and go back, a secret area will
have opened up containing some ammo, a 2x potion and some
nasty archers
After reaching the key, if you take the ledge to the right
instead of jumping across, you'll find a 1x recharge
Continue on that ledge to the right, around the corner
you'll enter the area with the gargoyle (there is a 2x
potion directly across from the gargoyle, next to another
gargoyle)
If you drop into the pit between the 2x potion ledge and
the ledge you came in on, you'll find a door to a secret
area leading to a 2x recharge and a long stairway which
dumps out into a corridor
If you stay on the ledge you came in on and jump off the
end into the pit, you'll find a door leading to a different
secret area which dumps off on the opposite side of the
corridor that the other secret area exits to
If you drop off any of the other ledges, there are several
platforms which can take you back up from the pit, as well
as Merlin's Stairs
When you start down the corridor which goes by the
crystals, if you go straight instead of turning right past
the first space window, you'll be in a long corridor which
goes around the the bottom of the map, and eventually leads
to a door which exits to the ledge with the 2x recharge and
save terminal
If you continue on that corridor past the door, you'll end
up in a maze of different textured corridors (you can also
enter the opposite side of this maze from where the keyhole
switch is)
Take the maze to the top right portion of the map to locate
the switch room (contains actinium crystals, switches which
activate platforms & lights, and a save terminal)
Exit the switch room to the west and head straight down the
corridor until you must turn left, and you'll find a pod
with a terminal
At the bottom of Merlin's Stairs is a 2x potion
