Below you will find a complete Walkthrough for each level: I have
provided screenshots where necessary, and also the locations of all the
crystals (and shots) - When possible, I have noted secrets throughout
each level. This is mainly meant for people who want to get through the
game, with all the crystals.
These Walkthroughs are very Screenshot Intensive. Unfortunately, the
only real way to do a walkthrough is to SHOW you where to go. I have
tried to summarize as much as possible while still showing the optimal
path. I will be working on making these pages smaller and easier to
download. Each screenshot is approximately 8-16 Kb, which isn't too bad.
However, level 3 has the most screenshots so far with 51 shots. It adds
up. Just so you know. Each Screenshot is 340x480 - The first 4 levels
were captured at 640x480 and manually resized. The remaining levels were
caught at 340x480 so I wouldn't have to resize them. I used Hypersnap DX
to capture all screenshots. It is an EXCELLENT program, and I recommend
it to anyone needing to do screenshots, especially since it supports
Glide and Direct3d.
These pages work best when running at 1024x768 or better (800x600 also
works pretty good), and fullscreen. That way, you can get some
screenshots side by side.
There are also Savegame files for the beginning of each and every level
on my main Forsaken page.

DrgnFyre's Forsaken Crystals WALKTHROUGH.
Level 1 - Volcano. Back to Index.
Well, this Level is pretty straightforward.
You ARE on a time limit, but if you just keep a good pace, it's nothing to worry about.
Don't forget to grab these gold bars after you kill the first 4 robots.
I understand some people can't get through this first door.
Just shoot it.
You'll want to shoot these "power backup" units.
Doing so gives you some extra gold bars.
Be sure to look around before going on.
There is a Power Up, an Orbital, Solaris, and a Susska here.
Shoot this to make it go down to the next level.
Do NOT Shoot these yet.
Be sure to lure the creatures out of here first, because sometimes when
you kill them, they will hit this as well.
If you don't shoot those power backups, in the next room is a corridor that leads to this Titan - Secret #1
Here is shown what happens when you shoot the backup.
Notice the missile view is showing you that the secret room is closing
off.
You will be able to get 10 gold bars in this level.
Getting 10 Gold Bars gives you an extra life.
See that Star Shape?? Off to the left.
Shoot the hell out of it, and this happens.
What's this? A Crystal!! :) Grab it.
Just go in here and be careful.
I recommend the Susska for those pesky Purge Mines.
And there's the exit.
Perfect Record!! :)
From here on out, I don't think I'll be getting all the enemies and
secrets, but it's something to shoot for. :)
Level 2 - Abandoned Subway. Back to Index.
Be sure to blow up all Barrels, Nuclear holders, etc. Some of them contain powerups. Be aware though, that some of them contain Active Pine Mines, Purge Mines and Quantum Mines. OK, first go UP that tunnel right in front of you.
Shoot the switch and reveal a secret. :)
Then go Down that other tunnel and shoot all the enemies. (You can do it. I know it.)
Kill them all and this door will open. Don't kill them all and...
Now, F6 is an EXCELLENT Idea. You can often see drones sneaking up on you. I also like to press F5, which is the missile cam. Great for watching to see if those Solaris Missiles hit. From the door you can't open, look left and go straight. Down that first tunnel.
Go down here, and shoot this switch. Look out because this will also activate a whole bunch of purge mines. Then navigate back up the tunnel and go Left.
See that off to the left? That's the Crystal. Shoot that barrel, and this happens.
And there you go. 2nd Crystal. Now go back and go Down that Gold Colored tunnel.
When you get there, you should see a grate hanging down. Go up it and you'll find another secret. Go back and kill all the enemies. Then you can go into the power room depicted below.
Now head back up to where you saw the Subway Train. That last switch turned it on and rammed it right though the wall.
Well. So far, so good. All secrets and all enemies killed up to this point.
Level 3 - Nuclear Power Station. Back to Index.
Nothing too hard so far. open the big metal door. Shoot your way in, and go up the tunnel.
After you go into the shafts, be careful. You'll be sucked down into one of them. Be ready to shoot the fan or die trying.
Blow all the fans from the other side. Pine mines will appear in their place. Blow them. Go back up the shafts, and be ready for opposition.
Use the Nitro to physically bump the switch. If you're using Cuvel Clark, you don't even need Nitro - He's soooo fast. :) Then use the Nitro to go UP the shaft against the fan and find the gold bars.
Go back down the airshafts (where you blew the fans and pine mines, and you'll be given an option of which way to go. Go Left (or. in the same direction as the shafts were). Kinda hard to do left/right in this game. :)
Like it says. Shoot the Generator. it's that Gold thing off to the left.
2 switches down, 3 to go. Go back the way you came, and go down the other corridor.
There's a big radioactive thing here you have to avoid. Go down into the water and it will protect you (because we all Know that Water is the cure for radioactivity).
Keep going and you'll get to another Switch, and a Key, and a Teleporter. Get all that and go through the Teleporter. You're back where you began the level.
There is a door that you can now open. Go in it and look up. Be careful of the falling elevator shaft. Grab the Kaos Shield and shoot everything in sight.
After you shoot ALL the nuclear barrels, a Bounty Hunter will appear. Kill her to get the Crystal for this level.
Go straight and you have a choice. Go Down the shaft to the left, and you will be able to get an extra life, but at a price. You will have to shoot your way past 8 green laser turrets, and not worth it in my opinion. Without the trainer, I died numerous times in this room.
Richard (aiobheil) gave me an update on an easier way to get this item.
Go UP the shaft on the right and you'll be taken to another switch.
From this switch, you can go Down and view the reactor. No real reason to, except to maybe take out the turrets so you don't have to later (you come back through here)
Now, go back the way you came, and go off to the left UP that tunnel. You will have to go along this Accelerator path to gain access to the last switch. I usually ignore the path and go down and clear the area first. Then go all the way back and run the blue path. If you get off the path, it will let you know by reminding you to stay on the path.
Hit the switch and then look behind you and down a little. There will be 4 crystal bars you can shoot and open. Go into that room and go up (where those drones came out of). This leads to the reactor. Go straight and right behind it is the key to open the exit sequence.
Grabbing this key opens the other door you looked in from before. Go through it to get out of harm's way. From here there are a couple ways to get OUT, but this is the way I took.
Head back to the "junction room", go back to the room you started from (will be straight across and to the right - down tunnel). Then go through the teleporter (thus bypassing the whole radioactive water bit) and then from there go to the "median" and there will be an open door - Directly across from those clear double doors on that last screenshot.
I unfortunately did not get all the secrets. I thought I got at least 2, but apparently, the game didn't think so. Oh well, so much for the perfect record. :(
Chris (Stench) from above, filled me in on the
third secret for the level.
I just finished level three with all three secrets. I think the
last one is just after the reactor room. As you get to the reactor
exit doors a floor panel in the next room explodes. Head down it to
find a turret which when destroyed rewards you with some gold bars.
Carry on through a circular tunnel to be deposited right in front of
the exit.
Level 4 - Thermal Power Station. Back to Index.
Blow up the barrels off to the left to get a power Orb.
Keep an Eye out for those turrets. They hide. Blow this grate open and you'll get to a secret area. (FIRST SECRET)
Back UP!! Then shoot these Quantum Mines and go all the way down to the end grate. There will be an extra Life powerup on the other side because of it.
Keep going. Shoot these side panels for some shield power ups. Shoot the barrels to get the key for the bottom opening door, but watch out for that Pine Mine.
I just got an update from Oblivian on a secret. As you pass through the corridor that has the missiles that shoot from the bottom of the floor there will be a door. Shoot the door. At the top right hand corner of the door is the secret, enter into it and there will be a gold bar and I think a life (SECOND SECRET).
Gotta Shoot your way outta this room. then look for the other door.
Go through the teleporter (it will be blue - don't know why the screenshot didn't come out. :(
Go straight and look in the corner. You will find a tunnel with some gold and a reanimator (if you got the other secret).
Head back out and you'll be where you started. go through it all again until you get to where the teleporter was. Head right from there.
Head down away until you get to the turret infestation. Kill everything until it tells you the turrets have been cleared.
Look around in this room until you find this glowing yellow panel. Shoot the hell out of it and go get the crystal (THIRD SECRET).
Head down this tunnel and shoot everything that shows up.
The Susska Weapon works pretty good on those pesky purge mines.
Blow this teleporter and proceed.
Blow the caps off the engine covers and watch out for that Flame!
Shoot all the enemies in here and get the 2 keys. Pine Mines are great for providing support fire. (FOURTH SECRET AREA?).
Kill the Bounty Hunter and take the exit tunnel.
Level 5 - Federal Bank Vault. Back to Index.
Nothing too hard to start with. A LOT of enemies, but you can deal with them. Go down that first tunnel and shoot the red switch. Then double back and shoot the bars and get the powerups that were behind the laser field.
This level likes to punish you for grabbing things. Grabbing the Golden Power Pod, for instance, opens up 4 turrets.
Shoot the switch to deactivate the Firewall. Then look at the key code and remember it. (Upper Right, Upper Left, Lower Right)
Go past where the firewall was, and shoot that glowing power panel. This disables the generator. Then go down into the water and get the gold and the Safe Key. After you've done that, go find the generator and go down the tunnel.
Go down the tunnels - Both of them have a side tunnel that is hard to see. The second one leads to the crystal. When it tells you to "Watch Out", MOVE!
See what happens when you get "compacted" by a falling roof? All your powerups get smushed into a little ball. :)
Shoot the top laser mount to deactivate the laser field(s). Then shoot the panels in the right order (Upper Right, Upper Left, Lower Right) and the door behind you will unlock. This door leads to the first Vault. Look around and shoot everything. In here you will find the Green Key Code.
Middle, Upper Right, Lower Left. Head back out and go shoot the rocks to cause an avalanche. Don't get too close though. Then wait for the fire to stop and go through. It's all a matter of timing, and you don't even need Nitro.
Then go down the "green" corridor, and disable the laser screen just like before. Go in, and shoot the panels in the right order.
Middle, Upper Right, Lower Left. Then the door opens and you can go into the 2nd Vault. Look around - shoot everything, and find the Blue Key Code.
Middle, Upper Left, Lower Right. Then head back out and go to the "blue" laser grid. Disable this one just like the others. Go in, and shoot the panels in the right order.
Shoot the panels, and the 3rd and final vault opens up. Go in there and shoot the 2 red switches to disable the firewall. Go through the deactivated firewall, and shoot your way to the exit. You have to get 5 gold bars to turn off the gas. Be as quick as you can, because the gas is deadly.
And that's the end of this level.
You have to collect a lot of DNA on this level - They look a lot like a Key, only different. Get out of the path of the flame, and shoot that switch behind you.
You have to time it right and hit that Red Button. That will disable the lasers and let you get to the switch. The switch disables the lasers you were dodging. In there is a couple powerups and a view of things to come.
Colpire il pannello segreto (3° segreto).
Again, shoot the red button to deactivate stuff (In this case those nasty lasers right in front of you). Go in and get the DNA.
DANGER Will Robinson!! Had to turn 2 of those to greyscale because they were mostly RED from the overheating. Go in, turn around, and shoot the two switches. Then there is a button that shows up in the middle. Shoot it, and you've shut down the engine.
When you get to the Flames, shoot the button to turn them off. Timing is LIFE here.
Use this lever for the crystals.
When you get here, don't try and get the crystal just yet - You still need a weapon to access it. Shoot the button behind the gold bars, and you can get the DNA. Shoot all enemies to turn off that pesky laser, and proceed.
Keep going, and get ammo from the Armory. Shoot the double doors and go down. Shoot the switch to turn off the "Intruder Alert". Go Straight. Shoot the turret, then shoot the button. Stay there until things blow up. Go down all 4 tunnels in there and blow up all the boxes. You will get 2 DNA's and a Trojax (which is necessary to get the crystal). Then go back out and go down the side tunnels. You have to shoot the buttons to turn off the laser defenses, and then you can go into the side rooms. Shoot ALL buttons and ALL boxes in these rooms. Grab all the DNA keys and then head back out. Then head for the crystal.
Shoot the Lighted Guns on top. You have to use the right weapon on each one. The proper order is Pulsar, Susska, Mug, Trojax. Then grab the crystal. Be prepared for a big fight because they don't take kindly to thieves.
Take the corridor that opened when you got all the DNA's (near the armory and double doors). Go down that hallway, and you will be locked in a room. Kill everything. Kill the Bounty Hunter, and then follow the lighted path out of there.
Level 7 - Asteroid Base. Back to Index.
Well, the first thing you have to do is go forward, and clear the way. Grab the Trojax, and use it to shoot the "headphone looking" switch. This opens up 2 doors in that first room. You can tell which ones are open because they are green.
Pick a door and go down it. Kill everything. Shoot the switches. You have turn on the teleporter, and then you can open the central ring door. (that's the headphone switch again).
You need to go underneath those 3 green starships. Under there you will find a "headphone" switch to shoot, and a flower switch as well. The headphone switch opens up the "upper ring door" and lets you continue through the level. I cannot remember what the flower switch does. Thanks to Oliver for pointing out that this part was a little unclear on my walkthrough.
Well. Just keep going and eventually you will come to the "Flesh Morph". Good luck. :) Kill IT and you can go up the hole that opens up in the ceiling.
Go up the hole, get past the red bars, defend yourself. Then go down the "Hole", and take the first tunnel you can. Shoot everything and you can shoot the switch. Shoot the switch, and head back. Go down the narrow tunnel, and look around - you will find the crystal (2° segreto). Then go back and go down the hole again. Keep going and you'll get to the end room. Shoot everything and then exit the level.
If you couldn't tell, the TransPulse is my Favorite weapon - I LOVE that it homes in on targets after it bounces.
Level 8 - Biosphere. Back to Index.
Go forward and watch out for the turret. Get to the two tunnels, and take the left one. There is a solaris pack in there after you kill the enemies. However, there is one of those really annoying guys with the lightning gun there as well, so it's totally up to you. Go down the other tunnel and clear out the room. Go down the airshaft off to the right.
You have to shoot the Junction box to turn off the lasers. When you come back to the room with the turrets, look for the hole in the floor. Leads to a secret.
Watch out for those Fans. Ask yourself if you really need that titan, because getting it can kill you. If you die, all your stuff gets placed Dangerously close to the fan blades, which can leave you in a pretty bad predicament.
You can take any one of these 3 tunnels. 2 of them have fire and will test your timing. One of them has a few extra gold bars. Once you get to the fire machine, look around and find the narrow tunnel and go down it.
After you've blown up the Solar Power Generator, double back and go down the other airshaft. Kill the enemy and get the crystal. Then proceed to the "laser" tunnel.
Time your way through the defense grid, and be careful. Go into the red room, and shoot the junction box. Go down the last tunnel, and this takes you to the end boss. Kill him (Use those Pine Mines) and then you're done.
Level 9 - Subterranean Complex. Back to Index.
Standard Operating Procedure: KILL. When you get to the green stuff and see "Blow the cap off", shoot all those things sticking out in the green stuff. When you shoot one of them, the roof will open. Also, there are 8 computer panels you can blow to get a secret. I have tried to show all of them here.
Go around, shoot all the switches. Watch out for that fire, and go up and shoot the switch that will deactivate the laser. Go past the lasers, and shoot the switch in there. This opens up the final switch located past the flames again. Go shoot that, but first grab the gold - shoot it from a distance because when you do, the laser on top will start frying anything under it. Then go back to the main room and shoot the switches to get to the next area.
Keep going, and at the end of this long corridor is a switch. Shoot it and a bounty hunter appears - Kill him and the crystal appears. Be careful when getting the crystal - it is RIGHT next to the exit. Go at it straight on and save your game just in case.
Level 10 - Capsized Ship. Back to Index.
This is a Hard Level to explain. The first tunnel you need to take is the "Up" tunnel. This leads to the first junction switch, shown above. You have to find the button to unlock the door first - it's all in that narrow room.
Next, you need to go through the double doors from the main room. Go down a ways, but don't go down all the way just yet. Go into that first side tunnel, and go through (I think) 2 sets of doors. You will get to a button that you need to shoot. Shoot it, and it opens up the secret door in the other room. (Actually, it allows it to be shot open).
Go "down" the other tunnel, and shoot the floor until you find the secret door. Go down it and you will find a button. Shoot this and the propeller protecting the crystal stops spinning. Then, go back out and back up to the main area - go through the double doors from there. Go all the way down past the red area and such. Keep going and you will get to another primer. Past that is the Crystal for this level.
When you first saw this area, you probably went right by it. Shoot the floor grate, and it opens up to another area with another primer. Shoot it and go back to the "main" room". Go back "down" and into the water (not the secret one you opened up)
BIG BADDA BOOM (for all you 5th Element Fans)!!!! If you strayed from the path earlier and came down here before, you got the message "Something BIG Holds the key" - They weren't Kidding!!! Pine mines are EXCELLENT support fire. Especially since you have to come back through this area shortly. KILL the big things and go through the double doors.
Go through those doors, and you will come up to the detonator. Shoot it, and then go back out all the way up to the main room. Go through the double doors, and down all the way. Go to where the "floor grate" was, and look up. There is a glowing green ceiling tile. Shoot it and go all the way up. End of level.
Man, I Can't Believe I missed the # of Crystals screenshot. I assure you, it said 10 crystals found so far. :)
Level 11 - Orbital Space Station. Back to Index.
Well, first you have to go around and activate all the solar panels. There are 4 of them to turn on.
After the solar panels are activated, go down the new tunnel. Look around and you'll see the crystal - you can't get to it just yet, though. Go down from the main room in this area, and you'll get to the "crew quarters and restricted area". Shoot your way around and grab everything. Go through the wind tunnel at the bottom to get a key and the very important Nitro. Save the Nitro because you will need it later.
Once you've gone to all the areas below, and kill the resulting swarms back up above, you will be able to get into the now unlocked door. Go in there, and shoot the switch. This lets you get the crystal. Do so, then go to the "G Force" Chamber.
Use the Nitro and time it just right to get over to the switch. You have to do it in 3 steps. Go for the closest open area, then the next, then the next.
After you've gotten past the G Force room, go back out to the main room and go through the teleporter. These teleporters fail at an alarming rate, and only work once. After the first one, look around, and then you will eventually get to a switch. Throw it and you will start the exit sequence. You'll have to go through a couple more teleporters, and then fight your way to the shuttle. And that's the end of the level.
Level 12 - Shuttle Bay. Back to Index.
I won't bore you with the little things. Just Plod your way through. Kinda hard at first because of where they hide, but stick with it.
After you've unlocked the door that leads to the water, head back, and there is a secret area subtly marked with a mine.
Don't you just love how they tease you? "Entering exit area - Warning, your presence has been detected - Exit Closed"
Shoot the red "command" box, and this will show you a secret behind the viewscreen. Go down that first tunnel on the left, and shoot the button. Double back and straight ahead will be a green glowing wall. Shoot that, and get the crystal. Turn around, and proceed normally.
Watch out for that metatank. It's a killer.
Just keep going and get to the landing pad. Fly up and you're outta there.
Well. Go down the path that is open to you. Go through the top tunnel first in order to get the power pod. Then double back and take the lower one.
Shoot the sparking panel behind the boxes to activate the forklift. If you want to crash the game, shoot it a bunch of times in a row. :) :)
After you've been through that area, go back to the start area and you'll have another door that opened up for you.
Shoot the switch and this opens another door.
Get the bombs along the way. There are 5 total, and it will keep a count for you as you go.
Follow the train, and look for a tunnel above you. Leads to a gold bar. Also leads to another bomb.
Other than causing a LOT of damage, I don't know why you would blow up these rockets. Look around and you'll find a switch in one of the rocket tubes.
Here is where you get the 4th bomb. Look around and get the crystal. (Look UP).
See that panel under the ship? Isn't it odd that if you shoot it, your shots go through it?? Maybe it's a secret area.
Now be a good boy, and go play "Shoot all the switches".
Shoot the computer and it will unlock the exit.
Level 14 - Tloloc Temple. Back to Index.
Shoot the two snake heads to turn off the Underwater fan of Death. I will not bother you with the expletives that I uttered the first time I went through this puzzle, and DIDN'T Shoot the cobras. Incidentally, it CAN BE DONE without turning off the fan, if you're one of those crazed sadistic people that really really really like to torture yourselves. Also, after you turn off the fan, it does eventually come back on, so don't hang around down there too long.
In the next area, shoot the two "faces", and go to the red glowing wall. You will be transported to a secret area. Shoot enough drones in this area and get a reward. There is also a KAOS Shield in here.
When you get here, BOOK. There is a wall that shoots missiles right behind you, but they tempt you with a nice weapon. Save early, and save often.
Ignore the crystal for now. You will be able to get it later if you're very very fast.
OOOH BOY. Look out for those nasty missiles that thing shoots.
See that cobra path on the floor? Follow it PRECISELY or be blown away to bits in no time.
The AVATAR is basically a really really really big tank. Notice that pine mines help considerably in getting rid of it. Just be sure you don't get too close to them yourself. After you kill the Avatar, you have 2 minutes to get out, so save your game.
Shoot the Bounty Hunter and get the golden idol in order to leave. Also, you need to get the idol in order to open the bars locking the crystal away. You have to HUUUUURRRRYYYYY in order to get the crystal, but it can be done. Note the 00:24:48 - heh. I DIED!!! arrghh. Mostly because taking screenshots took time though. just reloaded and was able to get it no problem.
Then just go back to the room you started in and shoot the wall. It will open, but it takes it's sweet time doing it. Convenient since your life is on the line. If you have gotten ALL the Crystals up to this point, you will be rewarded with a secret level.
Level 15 - Ancient Temple (Secret Level). Back to Index.
Well, in order to even GET to this level, you must have collected ALL the crystals up to this point. If you get the secret crystal in this level, you get to use the FlyGirl Bike for single & Multi Player from now on. The Secret to getting the Crystal in this level is the Pool of Life. EVERY time that the game tells you "Pool of life is active", you need to immediately book back to the pool and kill all the baddies that are there. Then you can proceed to what you were doing. You have to do this 5 times, and then the crystal will appear in the very last room. You must also find both secrets in the game in order to get the crystal.
You need to be careful of this thing. Shoot the hell out of it and it will eventually blow into tiny bits.
Here is the first secret. Shoot the faces until you find the one that opens up.
Here is the Second Secret - Shoot the glowing snake head, then shoot the baddies - then shoot the next snake head, etc. Notice that it tells you the pool is active. Head back and kill the baddies there. Pool of life is Active, so head back and clear out the bad guys.
Again, pool of life is active. You know what to do.
Fourth time that the Pool is Active. BE CAREFUL. When you head back towards the "crystal room" (the one with the clear type walls running through it), a Titan will be launched. I suggest waiting until it starts to count down, and then back out.
This is the last thing a bug sees before it hits the windshield. Rather, This is the last thing you see when a Titan missile kills you.
Ok. this room took me a while to figure out. It's pretty mean. "There is no fire without smoke" means shoot the things that are smoking and I won't FRY Your ass. Shoot those two green things as fast as you can. Save Early and Save Often.
Fifth and final time that the pool is active. Go back and clear it out. When you head out, it will tell you that a crystal has appeared.
Make sure this is the last corridor you head down. Head down the others first, as this takes you to the end. Go In and kill everything, including under the bridge. Kill enough enemies, and it will reward you.
Only took me about 4 lives to figure this one out. "It's like hitting your head against a brick wall" means Hit your head (bike) against the walls. Specifically, into those 4 non-glowing heads. If you shot enough enemies under the bridge, your reward is the golden power pod.
And that, as they say, is That. That is the end of the levels, and the end of the games. Now go in and choose bikes, and you will notice that you have a new choice - FlyGirl. Not really any more powerful or less than any of the other bikers - Akklaim and Probe did have to keep balance for MultiPlay, but I kinda had hoped for something more than just another bike. Just my 2 cents. Hope you enjoyed the game as much as I did, and that you only came here as a last resort (or for the pretty pictures).
Here I have listed the location of all the crystals in the game. Although I cover this in my complete walkthrough as well, I thought I would just list the crystals here and provide Screenshots of where each Crystal is.
Level 1 - Volcano.
First, you must kill ALL enemies. Then, where you get the 10th Gold Bar
(the tunnels before the volcano) - between the 5ft and 15ft (narrow)
lava pit there is a wall that looks like a star (or the wormhole in Deep
Space 9). Shoot this - A Lot. It will open up the wall and the crystal
is behind it.
Level 2 - Subway.
Keep your eyes open - You will be able to see the crystal behind a few
walls. Shoot into the space you can see it from - there is a barrel
there that will explode and open up that area for you.
Level 3 - Nuclear Power Station.
Right after you get to the point of the Chaos Shield. In that room, if
you blow up all the nuclear barrels, a Bounty Hunter will appear - Kill
the Bounty Hunter and get the crystal.
Level 4 - Thermal Power Station.
Level 5 - Bank Vault.
Level 6 - Prison Ship.
Level 7 - Asteroid Base.
Level 8 - BioSphere.
Level 9 - Subterranean Complex.
Level 10 - Capsized Ship.
Level 11 - Orbital Space Station.
Level 12 - Shuttle Bay.
Level 13 - Military Base.
Level 14 - Tloloc Temple.
Level 15 - Ancient Temple (SECRET LEVEL).
In order to even get to this level, you must have acquired ALL the
crystals in the game so far. If you get the crystal in this level and
get out alive, you get a special bike you can use.
The key to getting the last crystal is
the Pool of Life. As you go throughout the level, you will see "Pool of
Life Active". EVERY time you see that message, drop what you are doing,
and go back to the pool of life. Watch out because about the 4th time
you head back, you will get shot at with a Titan Missile. Each time you
go back, kill all the enemies that pop up and then go back to your
business. You have to do this 5 times. The last time when you head back
through it will say "a crystal has appeared" and a little view of the
crystal will appear. Go back down to where the "Idols" and the laser
fields is. There is a room which is very dark and has a bridge in it
(it's dark UNDER the bridge) - kill all life in here and you'll get
"You've earned yourself a reward". Then keep going down the wind tunnel
till you get to the "garbage compactor" room. Manually bump all four
glowing heads and the floor will go down. In the next room is the
exit/crystal.
It was brought to my attention that you must find BOTH secrets in this
level or you will not be prompted to return to the crystal enough times.
The first secret in this level is in the room with the "clear" door. You
have to kill all the enemies in this room and that door will unlock. In
this room there are 4 cornered walls with "Idols" pictured on them.
Shoot these walls. Hitting one of them twice opens up a secret door.
The Second secret is in the room with the blue tunnel thing. There are 4
snakeheads on the ceiling. You will notice that one of them is glowing
(basked in a colored light) - Shoot it and an enemy appears. Kill him
and a different snakehead glows. Do this 4 times and it will say "You
have discovered a secret".
