Grab ontothe ledge and pull up and head to the right to claim SECRET #1: 4 boxes of shotgun shells. Thatwas easy! Jump back over the lava and head to the pit and drop down. Head up the ramp to the right. Aboulder will start to roll towards you but it will fall in the pit before it hits you. A running jumpwill send you over the long pit with the boulder in it and you can enter the next room. Ignore thecreatures to the left - they can't hurt you from behind the wall. Grab the medkit hidden in thealcove behind the small lava pit, then head into the next room and kill the demon which attacks.Lots of shotgun ammo is to your left and back behind you. Now head to the edge which overlooksthe huge area below. The large tower structure has a ledge on the right side. Drop down onto theledge then pull up into the top of the tower. Jump across the middle of the tower so you land onthe ledge about halfway down. This triggers a pair of demons which you can easily shoot as they circle the tower. You can climb back up one level for a better shot if necessary.A medkit and shells wait for you at the bottom of the tower, so do a safety drop from the middleledge to avoid damage from the lengthy drop and get the items. Head to the opening thatoverlooks the large sloping surface with the four square holes. Jump out towards the left cornerof the building. A boulder will come rolling down the hill so get out of its way fast and jump up tothe path above! Grab the shotgun shells.Follow the path until you can jump up to the ledge that circles this cavern. Make sure to avoidanother boulder trap as you land. Now make an angled jump towards the square pillar and getsome more shells then take out the attacking demon. More shells and a medkit wait for you below and another pair of demons are waiting to move in. When you have the items and the demons aredead you can now enter the sloped structure.Do a safety drop into the hole then jump down to the lower ledge then jump across the two pits and collect a pair of medkits. Now go to the shaft which is to the right of the rock ledge and dropoff and hang from the edge. Shimmy to the right before dropping to the pyramid below.
