Level 8

Secrets of Babylon

The Underground Cave

You are facing a ledge with a hole in the wall blocked by rocks. Jump to the ledge and use your Father’s Sword to get through.

Jump to the opposite ledge and smash the rocks

Inside turn right and notice two vertical spiky cylinders opposite the pit. The left one is going from left to right so you’ll have to pass them when the left one is near the left wall. When jumping over the gap you will hang down from the other side of the ledge. 

Two spinning spiky cylinders: jump now

Jump backward to the opposite ledge and look up on your right: there is a horizontal wall groove on top of a narrow ledge. Wall run up to the ledge, pull up and jump to the groove. Shimmy right around the corner and pull up to a full ledge.

On your left there is wall gap blocked by rocks and you can already see some Ghouls on the other side. Get through with your 2^nd Sword and avoid this battle by immediately wall running from the left side of the balcony to a vertical groove where the Prince can hang down.

Quickly wall run to the vertical gap

Climb up so you can hang from the right ledge and pull up. Jump to the Dagger plaque on the opposite wall and notice a horizontal pole beneath you sticking out of the left wall. Drop down to the pole and swing/jump to the opposite narrow ledge.

Jump to the higher narrow ledge from where you can jump backward starting wall-to-wall jumps higher up to a ledge underneath a mechanical Dagger groove. When stabbing your Dagger into it you will see that two beams are going in and out of the adjacent left wall. Some tricky moves are coming up! Jump down to the ledge again, go into slow motion and when the first beam is inside the wall run left to the corner and jump backward to the beam.

Tricky moves coming up

Quickly jump to the second beam coming out and then to the opposite ledge. Should you fail and end up on the ledge below the first beam, jump to the opposite Dagger plaque and drop down to the pole from where can swing/jump to the narrow ledge and start your wall-to-wall jumps again to the ledge under the groove. Then repeat the whole thing.

On this ledge there are 3 Ghouls and 2 Fire Dogs. “God” says: these creatures will steal your Sand Tanks, and that is exactly what they do. They are easily defeated with your Father’s Sword, your 2^nd Weapon.

Run up the wall and stab your Dagger into the mechanical groove, which will trigger three blocks rotating on your left side containing a number of narrow ledges. Jump down and walk on the narrow beam on your left from where you can jump to the first narrow ledge of this vertical structure.

Walk left around the corner and notice two more narrow ledges below you. Drop down to the lowest ledge on top of the Save Fountain you drank from in the previous Sublevel. But do not drop down there.

Instead, walk left around the corner and jump backward to a ledge. There is a crumbling rock entrance to a next room through where you can see 3 Dagger plaques in a vertical row on the opposite wall. When the entrance is cleared with your Father’s Sword, better immediately run to the opposite wall, climb up and stab your Dagger into the lowest plaque avoiding a fight with the two Ghouls. It takes forever to kill them, but if you like a good fight, be my guest. There are some jars to smash in the corner for Sand too

See the three Dagger plaques on the opposite wall?

Jump to the higher plaque and wall run left to the next plaque. Jump backward to the opposite plaque and stab your Dagger into it. Wall run to your right to the next plaque and drop down to the plaque below. Jump backward to the Dagger plaque on the opposite wall and hanging from there wall run left to the ledge.

Here you will have to defeat the Fire Dogs and the Ghouls that keep dropping in forever. And when you die then you can start all over again from the beginning of this Sublevel because there is no Checkpoint so far. Use your 2^nd Sword: that will make the fight easy.

Smash the rocks blocking the doorway and turn right. Wall run to the corner and do a few wall-to-wall jumps to reach an upper ledge. Jump up to the next ledge and notice two poles sticking out on the other end of the left wall. Watch out because this is a tricky wall run.

Wall run to the first pole (hard to get)

Wall run to the first pole and swing/jump to the second. Line up with the vertical wall gap, jump to suspend yourself and slide down. Then drop down to the ledge. You have to defeat about 6 Ghouls here. On the left side you can see a Dagger plaque on a narrow wall opposite the gap with a narrow ledge on top of it. When you jump you will reach the ledge and not the plaque.

The narrow ledge above the Dagger plaque

Pull up, step around the corner on your left and look up. Two Dagger plaques are above you. Jump from the first to the second one and from there to the narrow ledge above. Shimmy right around the corner and pull up to a full ledge. Walk to the end of the narrow beam on your right and jump to the hanging column in front of you. Turn your back towards the ledge with the 4 Ghouls. From here you see that there is a tunnel behind them. Jump backward to a second column and then to the ledge.

There is a tunnel behind the Ghouls

So avoid the fight and quickly run through the tunnel, turn right around the corner and smash the rocks blocking the doorway. This is a Checkpoint. The Ghouls will follow you, so immediately wall run on your left and at the end jump right to a Dagger plaque.

Your Checkpoint

Hanging from there a difficult move is coming up. Wall run left and jump backward to a black narrow ledge. Turn around the corner on your right and jump to a higher narrow ledge. From here jump to a higher one and notice a short narrow beam behind your back. Jump backward to the beam and pull up. Turn the Camera View around and notice a vertical gap in the opposite wall. Jump in there and suspend the Prince. Climb up and pull up to the ledge on your left.

Go to Landscape View to plan your next move. On your right there are two narrow walls where you can wall-to-wall jump upwards to the upper ledge. On your right you’ll have to pass three spinning spiky cylinders. Still have some Sand left in your Tanks? Buy some comfy slow motion and safely run/roll to the other side. Then turn left and meet a really nasty combination of traps: two saw blades in the floor going from left to right and behind these a huge pounding beam. And behind the beam there are more saw blades!

Saw blades and a pounding beam

Best thing to do is when the beam is coming out, wall run to your right and jump on it. Then jump forward over the next saw blades. A cheap move, no Sand costs involved. On your left, run up the stairs where you already noticed the two Dagger plaques on the wall in front of you. Run up the wall and stab your Dagger into the lower plaque. Then move on to the upper plaque and wall run to the ledge on your right. Turn right and on top of the stairs see your Save Fountain.
