- This walkthrough provides a minimum path through the game. Clicking on more
of the written materials in the game will increase the final score. If your
character dies before completing the game, your score components are displayed,
but otherwise your score is unavailable until the end of the game.
- Note that restoring a saved game will reset the alphabetical inventory list
to the beginning, which can be a consideration when preparing for a timed
sequence.
- There is no way to skip through dialog or video segments.
- There are occasionally mouse trails (multiple images) when dragging an
inventory item into the viewport.
- One bug was encountered late in the game, but it did not detract from
completing the game.
- Movement abbreviations:
- L: Turn left
- R: Turn right
- F: Move forward
- U: Look up
- D: Look down
- Fn for n repetitions

Use the Jump Biochip to travel to Chichen Itza (after a mission briefing)
Requires Translate Biochip from BH
Save your game at this point
You'll arrive at the top of a Mayan temple -- if you try to descend the steps,
you'll die
Enter the temple and note a Mayan calendar on the far wall. Look up at the
ceiling panels and use the Translate Biochip to read the ancient symbols.
You'll learn that a Holy Vessel contains the Breath of Izamna, and that the
Choc Nool statue out front grants access to the Underworld only on certain
days. Nine possible days are shown on another panel, and each of these can
be tested on the Mayan calendar by rotating the small and large dials.
From the starting location after the Jump, follow this streamlined procedure to
enter the cavern below:

death

death scene
There may not be enough time to save your game immediately after climbing the
rope

God of War
You can zoom in on a couple of the facade areas and use the Translate Biochip to
identify it as the temple of the God of War
Save your game at this point
Zoom in on the lower-right area and put the Bloody Arrow on the central
platform
Move F through an open stone door into what is arguably the most complex puzzle
in the game. If you leave the temple through the door you came in, you'll be
unable to re-enter it without restoring a saved game. The "Donald Trump"
noises here are from two sets of dangerous mechanical spears that you must
pass in order to avoid dying. In this entry room,
there are two similar red dragons which control the operation of spears and
doors in the temple. Since the door back to the cavern and the one ahead are
both closed and have the same carvings, it can be easy to lose your bearings
as you turn around. However, all the dragon heads in the temple point
slightly to one side, facing deeper into the temple, and we have noted the
pointing directions (L or R) in the diagram below. The diagram indicates
which door or spear set is controlled by which dragon. If a dragon's mouth
is blocked open by a skull, the corresponding spear set or door is configured
to allow passage, and the problem reduces to one of skull management.
R D
Take Skull from Entry
U
Click on Dragon L1 to open its mouth, then quickly insert Skull from Entry into
it to stop the first set of spears
The noises get fainter at this point
L2
Click on Dragon R1 to open its mouth, then quickly move R F into the first spear
room
You can't save your game at this point without immediately dying on restore
F
L to the midpoint
Put Skull from Cavern into Dragon R2 to stop the second set of spears
R F L
Take Skull from Spear Room above the skeleton
L F R back to the midpoint
Remove Skull from Cavern from Dragon R2 and the spears restart
R2
Put Skull from Cavern into Dragon L2 to open the Entry door
R F2 R back to the Entry
Put Skull from Spear Room into Dragon R1 to open the door deeper into the
temple
R F2 R to the midpoint
Move Skull from Cavern from Dragon L2 to Dragon R2 to stop the second set of
spears
All doors should now be accessible
R F3 D
Take Obsidian Block
U L2 F5 and open the door
F4
God of Rain
You can zoom in on a couple of the facade areas and use the Translate Biochip to
identify it as the temple of the God of Rain
Zoom in on the lower-right area and put the Water Canister (full) on the central
platform
F5 R2 F R2
The bridge starts to swing dangerously in separate sections
To move to the next bridge section and avoid dying,
move F at the center of the swing
The final stone ledge is reached at the end of the right-hand upswing of the
last bridge section
F2 D
Take Limestone Block
Jump to CI to avoid recrossing the swinging bridge
Follow the steps here to re-enter the cavern

Record the "synthetic blood" evidence:
Put the Preserved Heart into the pool of blood at left
Click on the Mayan puzzle box
If you try to open the box without the correct combination, you'll
die
Use the Translate Biochip to set the puzzle to read "The Breath Of Itzamna", or
make the following movements starting from the initial puzzle arrangement:
Up 3 Down 2 Up 2 Up 4
Click on the curvy handle at right
Mission complete
The "electronic device" evidence is recorded
Take the Environ Cartridge
Use the Jump Biochip to Recall to BH
Follow the steps here to access the Environ system
Select the Lens Filter in inventory and click on its image to verify it's
attached to your Jumpsuit
Put the Environ Cartridge into the Environ system to view an unskippable video
segment from Michelle Visard (Agent 3 of the TSA). After about 9 minutes,
you'll be prompted by Arthur to enter her password, and will have about 90
seconds to enter it before you expire. From the
personal interest listed first in Michelle's profile in the Files Biochip,
the password is GRAVBALL.
