INTRODUCTION:
I brought this game when it first came out, and I was still riding
around on the high from having completed Serious Sam 1 & 2. The first
time I played Will Rock, it stomped me into the ground good. So I put
it away for a long long long time, waiting for someone to write a
Walkthru or Strategy Guide. Boy, did I have a long wait. Finally in
January of 2004, I decided that it was never going to happen,
especially since the game was 'old & cold'.  So if you want it done, ya
gotta do it yourself.
So I started playing it again, this time playing very cautiously, and
writing down everything that I did.  This was done in the Will Win
mode. After I finished, I went back and played in the Will Play mode,
editing everything that I had written. About halfway thru it, I
discovered the Black Box version. So I used it to make corrections of
where I had been exploring places that didn't provide anything but
extra damage toWill.
On Feb 22, 2004, I discovered that LM had posted a Secrets FAQ.  And I
used that to see if I missed any secrets.  I found that although I had
found most of these places, some I had missed, because I was nearby,
but didn't explore everywhere that I could have. So what follows, is
the result of all that playing effort.
I know that the professional gamers have probably traded their copies
of the game in for the latest edition of whatever game happens to be
hot now. But maybe someone new, might find a copy in a garage sale
somewhere, and wanna try it.  Hopefully, this walkthru will at least
help them.

CHEATS:
Enemies Freeze: Alt+1
God Mode:  Alt+3
Outfit Change: Alt+5
Kill All Enemies: Alt+6
Kills Will Instantly: Alt+8
STUFF YOU SHOULD KNOW:
If you choose to be stubborn, and deviate from what's in this walkthru,
I promise I WON'T rig your keyboard with electricity, to give you
instant shock therapy.  Do whatever works for you-or else suffer the
consequences!!!!
I'm open to constructive criticism, but bad mouthing and put downs will
be deleted REAL FAST.
This walkthru is based on the "Hit & Run" style of play: From cover,
move out to trigger enemies(Hit), then hightail it back to cover(Run),
and let them come to you.  This means that for the most part, you'll
only have to deal with frontal assaults. If you think this is cowardly
or makes you a big 'fraidy cat', then consider that when your enemies
can't find, or get at you, they hide around corners, and on the other
side of doorways, and will clock you in the back of the head as you go
past. If you wanna be all gung ho, and dance around in the open, being
attacked from all directions, then the game allows for that too.  But
my question to that is Why? In regards to getting my ass kicked, my
philosophy is: if I ain't gotta, then I ain't gonna.  When all is said
and done, nobody really cares how you win-just did you win!!!
Look for the word ALTAR in capital letters, at the start of a new
level. If you see it, that means that there is an altar somewhere in
that level. Before proceeding with the level, find it, then scan the
level for any place that you might need to use your power-up, since you
now know where and when you'll be able to replenish your powerups-that
is if you've got at least 150 Pieces of Gold on hand.
The best places to use powerups are:
Any Boss fight.
Against a large quantity of minotaurs.
Any battle where a lot of different enemies attack you at the same
time.
Titan Motion is good against large quantities of birds, multi-enemy
battles, enemies that change direction quickly(lions, tigers, and
centaurs). Titan Motion, is probably the worst of the three power ups
because while it slows your enemies down, it also slows you down too.
Titan damage and Immortality are best against any Boss, large
quantities of minotaurs, non-boss cyclops, and dogs.
You are impervious to pain while purchasing powerups.
Often times, if enemies can't get at or find you, they break up or
dissolve if you wait or stay hidden.
Enemies standing on or near barrels are freebies.  All it costs is one
well placed bullet to maintain the status quo of your health.
Regularly and frequently reload your pistol, especially just before
quicksaving, since it has unlimited ammo.
QuickSave(F6) often, and after each successful encounter or
accomplishment.
When the larger Minotaurs are killed, and they spawn two smaller ones,
stay there and shoot the masses before they have a chance to form
completely.
Your health, ammo, and armor carry over to each level, unless you
replay the level.
When using the machine gun, shoot in short bursts. The smoke that comes
out of the barrel makes it difficult to see enemies like rats, so shoot
them from a distance.
Each enemy makes a distinctive sound when they attack. It can be the
sound of their being triggered, the sound their weapon makes when
thrown, etc, but it is unique to that particular attacker, so learn to
listen, so you'll know what enemy is attacking, so you can know what
weapon to use.
Before you start a new area, look for the work ALTAR, in capital
letters at the start of that level, then find the point where you come
across the ALTAR in the level. This means that any big fight preceding
this point is a good place to use your powerups, because you'll soon be
able to replace them.
There are several places in the game, where you might encounter the
skeleton bug. What happens, is that instead of the game sending a set
number of skeletons at you, it just keeps on sending skeletons at you
forever. What I usually do, is switch to God Mode(Alt +3), then whack
them with the shovel, until I get bored, then just move onto the next
thing, until I get to a place where they can't follow. Then I press
Alt+3 again, to reset the game back to normal.  This doesn't really
solve the problem, but for a while, it's kinda fun. I've even installed
the updated patch.
Some of the big battles in the game occur in large open area. At a
number of places in these open areas, are triggering points which make
an additional wave of enemies pop up. You can't help activating them,
because you don't know where they are. This it the reason that you will
be bombarded and totally overwhelmed with enemies. But if you stay
inside places like the starting point room, then you have control over
when the waves of enemies are triggered. So it's your choice, stay
inside and be in control, or go running out and get your ass kicked.

WEAPONS:
SHOVEL:  Good for whacking things to save ammo
PISTOL:  Unlimited Ammo
SHOTGUN: Best on Huddled Enemies and skeletons.  Frequent reloads.
MACHINE GUN: No reload, lack of accuracy. Good for rats, and when you
strafe hordes of enemies. The barrel smokes, blocking your view.
CROSSBOW: Prevents minotaur regeneration. Burns minotaurs slowly,
allowing them time to finish their attack before becoming a crispy
critter. Can zoom in and snipe distant enemies. Shoot minotaurs while
backpedaling.
ACID GUN: Prevents minotaur regeneration. Slow to incapacitate enemy.
Nice spray spread.
FIREBALL THROWER: Nice blast radius in center of crowd of enemies. Good
on tough enemies and bosses. Your bestest buddy in the whole wide
world.
MEDUSA GUN: Prevents minotaur regeneration. Turns enemy to stone.
Immobilizes enemies faster than crossbow or acid gun. Spread is
superior to acid gun. Drawback is that it takes longer to fire.
MINI GUN: Occasional reloading. Slow to start firing. Speed and
accuracy superior to machine gun.
GRENADE: Best used on groups of enemies huddled around corners or below
you. Won't detonate unless you or enemies make contact. Shoot armed
grenades in your way.
ATOMIC GUN: Long firing delay between shots. Best against groups of
enemies.  Shoots in a arc, letting you shoot over obstructions.  The
longer you hold the trigger, the farther & straighter it shoots.

ENEMIES:
BIRDS: Single shot with any weapon to kill. Shoot them from a distance
whenever possible. Easier to hit when they are flying at you from a
distance, than when they are flying across the screen.
MINOTAUR: Flaming Axes explode on impact causing splash damage.
Crossbow, Acid Gun, Medusa Gun, and Atomic Gun, prevent them from
regenerating.
SPHINX: Shoots Eye Bolts.  Keep your distance and shoot the golden
plate on top of there heads before they see you.
SKELETONS: Single pistol shot to kill. Red Skeletons(Spear Chuckers)
throw flaming spears, that you need to dodge.
CENTAURS: Move extremely fast. Will stop to throw their tridents. Will
change directions very quick while running. With this in mind, the best
weapon to use against them is the pistol. Anything else is just a waste
of ammo. Keep your distance, and try to shoot at them from somewhere
that they don't have access to.
SKELETON CENTAURS: Same abilities as their flesh & blood counterpart,
but take a lot less damage to kill.
APOLLO: Shoots powerful lightning bolts only at what's in front of
them, and can't move from their pedestals. Kill them from behind or at
a distance.
ATLAS: They hurl explosive globes a good distance. Shoot globes from a
distance, to make them explode. This is where all your dodge ball
practice comes in handy
DISCUS THROWER: They throw flaming discs very fast. Can get off of
pedestals.
SATYRS or ARCHERS: Most will be stationary, but in a few areas, they
are mobile. Listen for the sound of their arrows piercing something,
and then look for where their arrows are coming from, to find them.
Their arrows are white when flying thru the air, and can be dodged.
CEREBUS or TWO HEADED DOGS(Fido): They attack by spitting both acid and
fire at you from a distance. Whenever possible, kill them from a long
ways away. Any of the weapons that stop minotaurs from regenerating,
works well on them.
LIONS & TIGERS: They move fast, change directions quickly, and can
pounce unexpectedly. Shoot at them from a doorway, or someplace where
they can't get at you.  From a safe place, you can just pistol-whip
them until they die.
ALLIGATOR: Can swim faster than you, so the machine gun, shotgun, or
mini gun will make them go belly up.
RATS: They appear in mass. They explode when they get near you. The
machine gun is good for compensating for their up and down movement
when they run. But the barrel releases so much smoke, that it makes it
hard to see them. Shoot at them in short bursts, and from a distance.
FLYING BABIES: They attack with bows and arrows. If you run inside a
room, they tend to hover above and on the other side of the doorway,
where you can't get a shot at them. Your pistol and shotgun works well
against them. A fireball in the middle of a large group will turn them
into a bunch of crybabies.
MACE THROWER: They are ambidextrous, throwing a pair of flaming maces
at you. Their maces splash damage is a little less than the axes of
minotaurs. Pistol or shotgun is a good choice.
KNIFE THROWER: Except for their weapons, they look similar to the mace
throwers. The knives that they throw ricochet off of walls, instead of
exploding.
CYCLOPS: This is what happened to the spit-ball champions that you went
to school with.  Only instead of wet paper, they now use flaming
stones. Will pound you with their clubs, if they get close enough. Keep
your distance.
HEPHAESTUS or GIMPY: The fireballs that he throws have homing
technology. His hammer cause 10.0 on the richter scale. Your acid gun
will turn him into puff 'n' stuff.
BOSSES:
THE CYCLOPS: He comes at the end of level 2. His club will severely
deplete your lifespan. He spits fireballs from a distance, which are
not hard to dodge, but you usually don't hear them coming, until they
are right in your face. Keep your distance; use your powerups, and one
of your more powerful weapons to take him out.
HEPHAESTUS or GIMPY: He comes at the end of level four. His hammer
hurts your health, and cause whole bunches of pain. The rocks that he
throws, also have homing technology.
MEDUSA: She comes at the end of level seven and again at the end of
level nine. The fireballs that she hurls have uncanny accuracy. Even
though you've just gotten the Atomic Gun, use the Fireball Launcher
instead, because you don't have to reload it. There's a supply of
fireball ammo along the outer wall, near where you landed, when you
catapulted over the wall. Disregard her minions, and concentrate solely
on firing into her as you back away.  Definitely use your power ups
here. If your health and armor are in good condition when her health
get below 50%, quicksave.
ZEUS: This is probably the easiest boss to defeat. After the cutscene,
run forward, up the ramps, until you are under his tunic, and behind
his left foot. Take your shotgun, and just keep firing a steady barrage
into the back of his foot, and his health will slowly decline. When it
get below 50%, the targeting icon will turn yellow. When it gets below
25%, the targeting icon will turn red. Every once in a while, a few of
the flunkies that he creates, will stumble upon you. Take them out,
then return to shooting the back of his foot. If you run out of shotgun
shells, switch to your acid gun, but shoot the other foot, so the back
spray doesn't deplete your own health. When his health goes below 1%,
he'll just be someone you read about in mythology-one of those useta
be's.

WALKTHRU
MISSION 1: THE LIAR OF THE CYCLOPS
LEVEL 1: KNOSSOS: THE MINO'S PALACE
There are 120 Pieces of Gold.
SUB LEVEL 1: CAMP
There are 2 Secrets on this level.
Turn around behind you, and go behind the scaffolding. Jump up on the
rocks behind it, and go up as high as you can, then run and jump to the
top level of the scaffolding, to get to SECRET AREA #1.  Now jump to
the other platform, to get 10 pieces of Gold.
Now jump back to the rocks, and down to the ground.  Stand in front of
the tent opening, and aim your pistol at the top of the mountain, above
the building ahead. Slowly move forward towards the pedestal with the
broken statue, which is between the two columns. As you approach,
you'll trigger the birds from the top of the mountain ahead.  Then
quickly back away, so that you don't trigger too many at one time.
Shoot them while they are very high in the sky.  The birds in this game
let loose with some very explosive droppings.  Keep moving towards the
two columns and backing up, until you've triggered all the birds from
the mountain top.
While you are standing by the pedestal, aim your pistol into the
doorway of the building ahead. When the targeting icon turns green,
shoot the Sphinx statues. There's one on each side.
After they crumble, walk along the rocks on the left side, and a little
past the column, you find a opening between the rocks that you can walk
in.  Turn right, to get to SECRET AREA #2, and get some armor. Come
back out from between the rocks, and head into the doorway of the
building ahead.
Move thru the next two doors and approach the doorway along the right
wall.  Turn left just outside the doorway, and shoot the Minotaur
statue(the smallest statue on the left) before it comes to life.  Some
of the Minotaurs, will spawn two smaller Bloody Minotaurs, when you
kill them. And they are all deadly accurate with the Axes that they
throw. Now go get the 10 Pieces of Gold that was in front of it, so
that you can purchase power-ups at the various triangular shaped Titan
Trading Altars when you get to them. It takes 50 Pieces of Gold each
time you want to purchase one of the power-ups.
TITAN DAMAGE: Makes your attacks 4 times more powerful than normal.
IMMORTALITY: You won't lose any health while this is on.
TITAN MOTION: Enables you to slow down time and battle enemies at 1/4
regular game speed.
Always run your crosshairs over any statues, and everything else that
is nearby. If you get a green icon, shoot it or use it.  You can use
your shovel or pistol, to break urns, vases, and anything that you
don't wanna waste other kinds of ammo on, to see what's inside.

MISSION 1: THE LIAR OF THE CYCLOPS
LEVEL 1: KNOSSOS - THE MINO`S PLACE
SUB LEVEL 2: VASE TEMPLE
No Secrets
Move down two sets of stairs, and walk backwards toward the mirror that
is between the two flames.  Another minotaur will pop up at the bottom
of the steps, so shoot to kill.
NOTE: Stand in front of the mirror to see what Will looks like.  Now
press Alt.+5, to see the different costumes that Will can wear. He has
two as females, a cowboy, a matador, a English dude, and as himself.
Now go in the door behind the flames, and the game will reload and
AutoSave. If you kill anything in the next room, you'll have to kill
everything.  Stop right here, and take aim at the four Sphinx Statues
in the room ahead with flames on them.  You'll get the Green Targeting
Icon, so destroy them from back here. When the crosshairs turns red,
that means that one more shot will destroy whatever it is.  Destroy all
four. As you move forward a little ways stop, when you're told, to
"find the key."
There are more enemies to take out before you do.  Ease forward on the
right, until you get the green icon, then take out the minotaur statue
on the left. Then move to the left, and take out the other minotaur
statue on the right.
As you move towards the doorway, a minotaur will pop up in front of
you. Shoot it, and the two regenerating smaller ones that start to form
from its remains.  What you get, is three for the price of one.  You'll
be triggering Large Minotaurs that will spawn 2 Small Minotaur when you
kill it that you have to kill quickly before they fully form also.  The
exploding sound that you hear, signals the triggering of more minotaurs
popping out of the ground.
Repeatedly move a few steps into the room until you hear the exploding
sound, then quickly back pedal into the preceding hall with the circle
on the floor because the sides of the doorway are wider here, and
provide more cover.  Take out the Minotaurs and their two spawns, as
soon as you get the green crosshairs.  Your pistol holds 14 shot clips.
Keep doing this, until you can walk into the room without triggering
anymore enemies.
Look down towards the end of the room, and see the tall male statues
with blue current going from their feet to their heads.  Get the green
crosshairs on them, and shoot, til they shatter.
To find the Key, break any 6 Vases that are along the walls and the key
will appear.   Break the first five on the right side, and the very
last one, to get the key. The Key will be in the last Vase on the right
wall.   A message will appear onscreen stating that a door has been
unlocked. Break all the other vases just for fun.
Now go around the room, and collect Health Kits.  If your health is at
100, then you can't pick up any health kits that are less than 100, but
at least they'll be there when you need them, so remember to backtrack
when your health gets low.   Down the middle of the room, are 20 Pieces
of Gold that appeared as a result of shooting the minotaur statues.

MISSION 1: THE LIAR OF THE CYCLOPS
LEVEL 1: KNOSSOS - THE MINO`S PLACE
SUB LEVEL 3: ROTUNDA
2 Secrets
Before leaving this room, shoot the two statues in the next hallway
before entering. In the next hallway, the game will reload and
Autosave.  When the door opens, Grandpa, a Roman Skeleton will be
charging at you from ahead, so shoot him quickly.
Bypass the hallways to the left and right.  Head down the stairs along
the right wall, and shoot the skeleton that's hiding behind the statue
on the left, then move to the left wall, and shoot the one behind the
right statue.  Approach the 200 point armor while aiming at the door
behind it. As you get close to it, the door will open and another
Minotaur will attack, so use the base of the statues for cover. Now
take the armor, and move into the next hallway.
You are now in the Rotunda. Use the same Hit and Run method as before.
Run into the room a few steps to trigger some enemies, then back pedal
back down the hallway, and shoot them as the enter to hallway.  At the
start, it will be skeletons. Keep repeating this approach, until you
can enter the Rotunda without triggering any enemies.
Run in, and run around to the other side, and go up the left set of
stairs, turn around, and kill anything that followed you.  At the top
of the stairs, walk along the outer ledge, to find SECRET AREA #1-
HEALTH. Drop down onto the ledge just below the one that you are on, to
get a couple of pieces of Armor and a Health Kit.
Drop down to the right side steps, and go up.  As you approach the
sparkling health pickup, Minotaurs will pop up ahead of you.  As soon
as you trigger them, backpedal around the hall to put some distance
between you and them. When they come around the corner, start shooting,
then move forward, to shoot the two regenerations. As you circle the
outer ring of the upper floor, stay along the right side wall, so that
you can see your attackers before they have a clear shot at you. As you
approach the next set of sparkling goodies, Minotaurs will pop up
behind you, so quickly backpedal past them so that all the minotaurs
are now in front of you.
When you come to the other stairs going back down, enter the doorway
onto the inner ring area. Move around the balcony to the right, and as
you get to the winch, take out the Minotaurs that appear on the
opposite side of the balcony. If they jump down to the main floor
below, they will run up underneath you, so that you can't get a good
shot at them. See, they know how to take cover also. You're not as much
of a 'fraidy cat', as you thought you were.
After they are dead, press the Use button, to use the crank to lower
the platform to the ground. Now stand along side of the winch, and then
press it again, to make the platform rise, and quickly jump on to it.
Now turn around and face the outer wall, and jump to the narrow ledge.
Follow the ledge around to SECRET AREA #2-Health & Armor.  Now jump
back to the platform, and face the column in the middle of the room.
Walk off the platform towards the SHOTGUN, and keep walking as you are
going down.
As soon as you pick it up, enemies appear down below.  Turn around
behind you, and run off the platform, and into the hallway ahead, that
was your starting point.  Run thru the doors, to the steps at the end,
turn around, and shoot the minotaurs as they come down the hall. Use
the 'hit & run' method to trigger and take out some more.  After you
kill enough of them, the door in the pool will open. Jump in, go right,
swim thru the tunnel, and climb the steps to enter the next area.

MISSION 1: THE LIAR OF THE CYCLOPS
LEVEL 1: KNOSSOS - THE MINO`S PLACE
SUB LEVEL 4: CORRIDORS
1 Secret
Move forward into the red walled corridor, and get the rifle ammo.
Take out each group of skeletons that burst out of the side walls, and
watch your back.  As soon as you hear the wall break, quickly
backpedal, to put any that are behind you, to the front of your guns.
The pistol is a better choice, because it reloads after 14 shots,
whereas the shotgun reloads after every 5, but the shotgun has a wider
blast radius. Quick Save after each encounter.
The first group comes from ahead on the left. After you head up the
steps, and trigger the next group, backpedal, to put the one behind you
in front, and shoot both groups.  One may be hiding in the hole on the
right, that you backpedaled past. When you reach the door at the end a
message will say a door has been unlocked, and the door to the blade
corridor will open.  Now go back and search each of the rooms that the
skeletons burst out of, to get some goodies.  Start at the beginning
where you came thru the doors, and count to the fifth red wall on the
left. If it hasn't been destroyed, shoot it, and it will blow apart.
Enter to be in SECRET AREA #1-kill the two skeletons, and get the 10
Pieces of Gold.
Proceed back down the hall, and thru the door, and prepare to run past
the spinning blades. Get as close to each blade, as is safely possible,
then after it just passes you, run forward, and stop before the next
blade.  Passing the first blade will trigger a Minotaur behind you-
hopefully the blade will cut short his attack. Now rinse and repeat
with the rest of the blades. You might wanna quick save after each one.
After the third blade, it will trigger a Minotaur and his bloody
children ahead of you and behind. Quickly move thru the fourth blade
and then turn and take out the Minotaurs. After the last one,
quicksave, and move ahead.

MISSION 1: THE LIAR OF THE CYCLOPS
LEVEL 1: KNOSSOS - THE MINO`S PLACE
SUB LEVEL 5: MINOTAUR HALL
No Secrets
In the 4-way hallway, the door to the left is locked. The door to the
right, leads down the stairs, and back to the room where you got the
shotgun.  The door ahead, has some spear chucking skeletons behind it,
so straight ahead it is, but stay along the side wall.  Then thru the
next two doors, to a spear trap.  As with the blade trap before, walk
as close as possible, then run thru when the vertical spears go up.
There will be enemies popping up behind the 3rd, 5th, 6th, 7th, 9th, and
10th sets-more or less.
After you get past each set of spears, quickly move to the right wall.
If no enemies appear, quick save. After the second set of spears, a
Minotaur will get skewered up ahead, so just move to the right so his
axe will miss you.  After the next set of spears, a spear chucking
skeleton will get skewered, so again, move to the right wall so that it
sails past you. After the next set, another Minotaur will be put on the
spit.  After the seventh sets of spears, about ten skeletons will try
to reach you before the spears reach them. Let the spears do most of
your killing for you, and shoot those that get thru.
After you reach the hallway past the last set of spears, the game will
reload, and Auto Save.  Proceed to the armor, and notice all the
goodies.  I guess it's about to hit the fan. Go to the middle section,
which is to the left of where you entered, and look ahead, and when
your targeting icon turn green, shoot. There are three statues down
there that you can kill.
Now quickly run back out the entrance door, and use the Hit and Run
method, until no more Minotaurs pop up. During the battle, the door to
the left of where you entered will be unlocked.  Get the pickups in
this room. There are 10 Pieces of Gold to get from the alcove where the
three statues were.
Arm your pistol or shotgun, and proceed thru the doors that unlocked,
and head up the stairs backwards and SLOWLY. Aim at the ledge above,
and if you get a green targeting icon, before the minotaurs see you,
shoot. When they start to leap down onto the stairs, run back down the
stairs, and into the room where you shot the three statues, putting two
doors between you and them. When they open the doors, shoot, and strafe
to the side to avoid their flaming axes. Head up the stairs, and shoot
the tall Apollo statue that was behind the Minotaur statues. Get the 10
Pieces of Gold from where the Minotaurs jumped down from.  Break stuff,
and proceed ahead.

LEVEL 1: KNOSSOS - THE MINO`S PLACE
SUB LEVEL 6: ATRIUM
2 Secrets
ALTAR
Grab the 200 Point Health ahead. The game will reload, and Auto Save
and the door ahead will open. Shoot the statue in the butt and destroy
it. You're about to meet up with goo-gobs of enemies.  A message will
say, "I sense treasure nearby."
You'll be attacked by massive amounts of birds, and minotaurs, so stay
behind 'butt boy's' pedestal, and strafe from side to side. Do your hit
and run thing, and let your enemies find you. A lot of flaming axes
will be thrown from across the pool, so you'll have plenty of time to
see them and strafe out of the way.  If a minotaur runs up on you, be
sure to take out his regenerated spawns also. You might as well set up
camp, cause this is gonna take a while.
When it's safe, come out.  Shoot the statue in the alcove on the right
wall-which is the exit from this level.  Jump into the pool, to get the
10 Pieces of Gold, and jump right back out.  In the alcove across from
where you entered, are two Minotaur Statues to shoot, and some Armor.
Head up the stairs to the left of the starting point, toward the second
floor.  Before you reach the top step stop, shoot the golden plates
with the flames, to kill the two Sphinx Statues at the top. Now head
back down to the landing, to get some gold, if it wasn't there on your
way up.
Go back up the stairs, and go right, and minotaurs will pop up ahead
and behind, so pause and take them all out.  Continue on, and run
towards the door on the right wall.  More Minotaur will pop up just
past the door.  Kill them, and then enter the door.  Go the ALTAR to
get as many power-up as you can afford, and Quick Save.  Go back out
the door, and Walk off the balcony straight ahead, and quickly press
backwards while dropping, to land on a ledge for SECRET AREA #1-ARMOR.
Now jump down to the ground, and go back up the stairs again, and this
time go to the left.  As you turn the corner, more minotaurs will pop
up ahead, so stay here in the corner, and shoot them at a distance,
strafing behind the corner column to avoid their axes.
In the room on the left wall, are 10 Pieces of Gold, guarded by some
Minotaur who are standing on a ledge above the door inside the room.
Walk in backwards, and kill them as they drop down.  Get the gold, and
exit straight ahead, and step off the edge and press backwards while
dropping, to land on another ledge for SECRET AREA #2-HEALTH.  Drop to
the ground, and head back up the steps, and after you pass the room on
the left side, and turn the next corner, more minotaurs will pop up
ahead, where the urns are. Again, stay back in the corner and take them
out before they reach you.
Break all the 4 urns that you see along the wall, and take the key
from the fourth urn on the right, to unlock the door between them.
When it opens up, enter the outer hallway, and move to the side.  The
room ahead has four pedestals on the outer ring of Apollo, and four
shorter pedestals on the inner ring of Minotaurs, and the one in the
center has your prize. From out on the balcony, shoot the smaller
minotaur statues, and all that they spawn. Now move into the outer
hallway, and shoot the statues of Apollo on the left and right, before
you cross the threshold.  There are two on each side.  After you've
killed them, one or two of the smaller Minotaur, will hide to the side
of the doorway, to ambush you. Move forward until you get the green
crosshairs, and then take him out.
When all are destroyed, go in and get the HELMET to spawn some gold.
Jump from one of the lower pedestals to reach it. This will unlock the
exit door which is in an alcove just below where you are now.  You
might consider heading over to the Altar Room to make a quick purchase.
So head back out drop off the edge to land down below, and go to the
alcove below where you got the Gold Helmet, and run past the pedestal,
and out the doors to exit the level.

200 Pieces of Gold in this level.
SUB LEVEL 1: AMPHITHEATER
No Secrets
Move forward, and down the steps, and shoot the four skeletons that
will come up to meet you while backpedaling.  When you head down again,
you'll be surrounded by skeletons and minotaurs, and archers will be on
the side of the steps. Backup up the steps, and go as far as you can
while shooting. Come down the steps again, and shoot the Atlas statues
in the alcoves, across the arena. Go to the bottom of the steps, and
around to the left of them against the back wall. Go into each alcove,
to get some goodies, and collect the Pieces of Gold left by the Atlas
statues. If your health and armor are near 100, leave the ones you find
until the battle starts.
Go to the middle section and get the health and machine gun ammo first.
Face your starting point, and run thru the machine gun and head back up
the stairs. You'll automatically equip the machine gun. When you reach
the room at the top of the stairs, turn around and let the minotaurs
enter as you move to the side and take them out. They'll be bunched up
in the door way, making them the perfect target.  Afterwards, use your
pistol, to take out the birds. They will tend to be camouflaged by the
brown mountain area behind where they appear from.  When you see the
blue flash of light in the sky, that's where they appear, so try to aim
in that area for the green targeting icon to come on.
Keep running down a few steps to trigger more minotaur and birds.
Stand at the top of the stairs, and try to take out the birds while
they are on the other side of the arena, and the minotaurs while they
are at the bottom of the steps.  This way, you're only triggering a
pair of each. Quicksave after each time you kill a couple.
After a while, it'll just be you and a long string of birds, and later
they'll be joined by some jumping skeletons. They will be preceded by a
funny sound. Afterwards, when you see a lone figure standing at the
bottom of the steps, it's time to face the archers. The other archers
will appear in lines on the sets of steps on each side. Since these
archers are stationary, for the moment, just concern yourself with the
rest of the birds, and the one that keeps being replace at the bottom
of the steps. Even though you can't see the archers that are off to the
side, you should still stand back in the doorway, to kill the birds,
because their arrows, can still sail over the side handrails, to hit
you.
If your health get low, you'll have to come down into the arena, and
gather some protection and then head back to the room at the top of the
steps.  You'll probably have to kill over a hundred birds, but better
them than you, right?  After your butt has totally gone to sleep,
eventually this target practice will end, when a message on the screen
says that a door has opened.
Head down, and kill any stragglers, replenish on the goodies that are
spread all around.  Don't go onto the seat-steps though, as you might
trigger some archers that didn't get the memo about they're having lost
this level. Then head to the door across from the steps that you were
at the top of, and grab the 200 point armor in front of it.

LEVEL 2: ANCIENT CITY OF CORINTH
SUB LEVEL 2: CITY
1 Secret
ALTAR
Enter the door, and start shooting skeletons.   Keep coming out to the
left, to trigger skeletons, and then shoot them.  Move to the pile of
rubble, and shoot the barrel at the end.  Now move back past the
entrance, and look up and shoot the archer in the top row of windows.
Shoot the exploding barrel near the door, and move towards the door. It
will open, and a skeleton will come out to be killed.  Enter the door,
and head up the stairs. When you get to the third set of steps, where
there is just a little piece sticking out from the wall, head up the
stairs, leading with your right side, and aim at the landing above and
to your left. There is a minotaur hiding there. When you lock onto just
a little piece of him, start shooting.
There's another Minotaur waiting to ambush you at the top, so head up
the stairs backwards while looking up.  At the top, get the 10 Pieces
of Gold, 200 point Health Kit, and Shotgun Ammo then head back down to
the bottom.  The Minotaurs may have jumped down, so expect them to be
waiting on you.
At the bottom, head back out the door, and go straight ahead, past the
entrance, and turn right by the rubble.  Stay close to the building on
the left, and enter the door to find an ALTAR.
Purchase a powerup and remember this location in case you want to come
back to do some more shopping.
Come out and go left, staying along the left wall because the ground
will drop out. If you walk on any part of the street on this or the
other side of the building in the middle, the street will collapse,
dropping you down to an underground area. The only things that are down
there are some pickups, and more enemies-but nothing important to your
progress thru this level.
Move ahead, and shoot the archer on top of the column all the way to
the right.  As you approached the locked door, a Minotaur will pop up
in front of it. Continue on, and take out the Archer, and the two
statues that you can see. From around the corner of the wall on your
left, will come a couple of skeletons.  At the end of the wall look
left to see another archer on another column, one in the second floor
window of the building to the left, and one behind the structure in the
middle. Ahead, are 20 Pieces of Gold that appeared when you shot the
statues.  Climb the stairs to get machine gun bullets, then go down the
other stairs.  In the center structure, is a 200 point armor, and
behind that are three doors.
Move along the right side of the three door building, and kill the
archers and minotaur on top of the columns ahead and to the left. Then
shoot the two Atlas statues on the other side of the fountain. Then
enter the door on the right and head up the stairs, leading with your
left side, and kill the archer that is waiting for you.  Enter the
door, and shoot the other archer on the left. Throw Switch #1 of 2 on
the right then head out the other door into the next room, and down the
stairs. Head out, and make the door on the right open without going in.
Shoot the barrels, to kill the skeleton that comes charging out at you.
Then go in, to find a SECRET AREA #1 with 50 Pieces of Gold.
Come back out, and go right, and enter the other red door. There's a
skeleton hiding under the stairs to the left. Peek out the door under
the stairs, and shoot the Atlas statue on the left, and the skeleton on
the right. There's also a minotaur to the right, hiding behind the
vases. Destroy the vases, and throw Switch #2 of 2 that is behind them.
This unlocks a door. Head back out, and enter that door on the right.
Stay up on the balcony, and kill all the archers that appear in the
windows on the left and right. Take out one side first, starting with
the closest and ending with the farthest, then do the same thing on the
other side. Head partway down the steps on one side, to trigger the
Atlas statues, that were in the window behind the archers. When they
jump down to the main floor, shoot them from on the steps. Then go back
up, and across, and down the other steps to do the same thing.
Now head down to the main floor, and enter the last side opening, and
turn back towards the steps. Minotaurs will pop up at the end by the
steps. This give you some distance to be able to take them out.
Afterwards, go to the other side and repeat your performance. Now use
the side hallway, and head back down towards the stairs.
Go to the ALTAR, and purchase any powerups that you may need. Then get
the crossbow ammo, quicksave, then get the crossbow. Now get ready for
a large number of skeletons, and minotaurs.  Stay in the altar room to
do all your fighting, and use it for cover. Equip your Immortality and
Titan Damage powerups. Blow up the groups of barrels in the altar room,
to get 20 Pieces of Gold-hopefully some enemies will be standing near
them when you do. Go down the side hallways for pickups. For the most
part, your enemies will come at your from straight ahead.
When you can safely go out, head to the other end, and enter the door
on the left, and head up the stairs, and take out the archer on top of
the wall behind you. As you head down the hallway, minotaurs will pop
up at the other end. Take them out, using the pedestals for cover. Now
shoot the archers in the windows on the other side of the courtyard. Go
to the end, arm your machine gun, and throw the switch.  When the door
on your left opens, there will be a line of archers behind it. There
will also be another one at the top on the high wall at the other end.
Go thru the door that just opened, and thru the other door, and turn
left.  Take out the minotaurs with your crossbow, and before you
proceed to the other end, take out the archers in the window on the
side you just came from. Another minotaur will pop up in front of the
door. Head thru the door, and go to the top, to get 10 Pieces of Gold.
Then head down to the bottom. Head to the door, and the game will
reload, to end the level.

Quicksave, and keep going to the door, to open it, and invite some
spear chucking skeletons in to play with your machine gun.  Fight the
next three enemies while leaning out from under the steps. After the
skeletons, invite the knife throwers in to play with your shotgun. When
you hear the roar of the minotaurs, switch to you crossbow and stick it
to 'em when they open the door.  After they are all dead, come out the
door, and turn around behind you and look up.  Destroy the eight Atlas
statues above on the balcony.  On each end, on ground level are two
statues to destroy. You may have to head a little bit in the direction
