Cliffs

This is pretty tricky level. I believe the randomness factor has a big part in this, I'm not entirely sure. What do I mean? I mean that on the puzzles the combinations might be different than what mine are. I will give my combinations just in case it isn't random. What's assured to be random is the location of Chief Two-Feathers. He'll appear anywhere near the end. I WILL NOT inform you where the opponents are; there are just too many to write down the locations. If there is a spot where the enemies are hard, I'll note it. [I want to bring to you attention that in the cliffs section there are clues to how to set the "hammers".  If you look by the dam in the river there is a painting on the wall that tells you how to position them.  There are also other paintings around the hammers that will show you how to set them, you just have to look for them.

In the beginning, walk down the path and eliminate all opposition. Jump across the river to land on the other bank. Turn immediately around to pick off guys on the ledge on the right side. Go into the river when land travel becomes unavailable. Exit the river on the right side. Go right and forward until you see a house. Enter this house. Once you enter, you should notice a puzzle thing with three hammers on it. My combination was: first down, second up, and third up. If this doesn't work, try this systematic method: set all of the hammers to the down position. Move the last hammer up until nothing happens, then set it back down. Move to the second hammer, move it up a notch, then try moving the last one. Keep on repeating. Although it's slow, you should never miss a combo.

Once you open the door, enter it, then follow the tunnel. On the balcony, turn left and into another tunnel. You'll see another house, go in it, get the stone key in the corner. Go through the door, and up the tunnel. Once you're out, you'll see a pit.

From now on, I'll make a list. This applies only to intersections.

Go left, forward, left, left, forward, go to the pit, and get the stone key. Take the left door, forward, left, left, get the stone key. Exit, left, left, right, left, forward, go to the pit, get the key, and exit the left door. Go left, left, left. Be careful: there will two guys with sawed offs waiting around the corner, duck and get out your best gun or dynamite. This is the last pit, get the key, and exit the left side and go back into the river.

Once in the river, exit to the left side instead of the right. Go inside the door, where there are three boxes. Again, this may be a random puzzle. This is my combination: first box: heart (or dino track), second: rain, third: sprouting plant. I don't think you need the other two stone keys, but don't drop them. Once that's done, jump under the bridge and go in the house and down the hole. Exit the pool with no guys and with the side that's entirely flat. Go to the pit and pickup the round stone key. Go to the other side of the pool, and into the door/house. There are two options: A. Go right past the boxes, crouch, throw TNT at cracked wall, and go in tunnels. It's a secret area, but I think you need the other keys. B. Go left, up the stairs, do another hammer puzzle. I got: all three are down (strange).

Once you're done, go inside the pool, where it'll lead you back to the river. Again, exit to the left side. Enter the same door and past the puzzle. This time, walk to the hole by the bridge and use the round stone key on it. It'll lower the bridge. Save the game.

Go across the bridge, up the 4 flights of stairs. Two-Feathers may appear anywhere here, so save your game often!! On the cliffs (for those who've been to Mesa Verde National Park, you'll know what I mean), kill off all guys anywhere, especially the ones in the windows. Turn right and pick off the guys on the roof. Continue until you reach the end of the cliffs and round the stone. Enter the door and turn right. Inside the room, on the left, crouch to get some stuff. Continue forward, forward, and get the elixir. You should save the game.

Go into the room, where there is a ramp on the left. Go up it. Walk forward in the new room until you see a door on the right. Turn left and crouch to get to a secret area. There might be guys in there. Exit and go through the door. Especially now Two-Feathers might appear. Go through the door, and save you're game. Go up the platform, and turn left. He should appear anytime now. If for some reason he doesn't appear, explore the upper and lower areas. If he doesn't appear for some reason, just type in olappear to make him appear and kick his butt. He throws knives, so don't get too close. It's a good thing Lucasarts tuned down his A.I., he can't throw the knives too well. Get a good distance from him, and take out a good range gun, such as the rifle. It doesn't take that many hits. On the ugly level, I killed him with 2 double barreled shotgun blasts.
