Together Forever is the second level of Jewel of the Nile.
Plot[]
Following Quinn's advice, Sam heads elsewhere as it turns out the Sirian room he entered only contained a key, and not the Time-Lock control room as HQ had initially thought. Now at Abu Simbel, Sam has to search the nearby temples to find the control room that will hopefully activate the Time-Lock. Before he can, though, he first has to find the missing statue of Nefertari, an object whose location has stumbled even the world's best archaeologists for the past 200 years.
Walkthrough[]
For this level, the player needs to solve several puzzles to be able to get the statue of Nefertari. When the player enters the temple with the four small statues (not the larger ones), they will come across a big room with Egyptian statues in it. From there, go to the two statues on the left and right side and stand directly in front of them to reveal two hidden switches. Once activated, this will open up four secret rooms. The player can solve the puzzles in any order, but it is best to start clockwise with the first two on the left, then the third and fourth ones on the right. The riddles can be quite challenging at first, but are easier to solve for experienced players.
- The first riddle involves filling up the water in the pool. There is a switch underneath the stairs leading to the pool. Press it and it will reveal a staircase mechanism. Go up the stairs to the press the second switch, which in turn will make the water rise. Go into the pool and jump up to activate the first lever.
- For the second riddle, there are a series of rooms that require using switches to move blocks out of the way. What the player has to do is make it to the other side of the room. When they reach the second section, there are two buttons. The player needs to press the first button quickly and then the second one, then make their way to the left part of the room. Once the player is in there, they should go up the stairs. The switch is right there.
- The third puzzle requires timing and quick thinking, just like the previous room. For this one, first activate the switch on the sliding platform at the far end, then press the button on the leftmost pillar. Once done, quickly press the button on the right pillar. This button will reveal a ascending staircase. The player should proceed up the stairs as fast as they can and make it to the other side of the room to get to the lever.
- The fourth puzzle is perhaps the easiest out of all the other three. To solve this one, the player needs to keep to the right of the hallway and jump over the sliding floor and the moving pillars, otherwise they will be pushed back to the start. When the player gets halfway through the hall, there is a gap. Proceed to it and wait for the sliding pillar to retract, then quickly go to another gap where the switch is.
Secrets[]
- At the start, go to the second building near the shoreline. Fall down from the cliff next to it, and look at it to spot a cave. Walk within the cave to find a ladder, which you must use to climb up and into the house to find a secret SBC Cannon. From there, you can open the house's door by pressing the Use button.
- Just after the ruins in the first area, go to the leftmost part of the mountain and follow the mountainside. When you reach the first house, go behind it, and you'll spot a door. Destroy it to discover a secret 'Frustrated Kamikaze'.
- In the military base, near the tower on the right, is a large garbage container with crates near it. Jump on the crates, and from there to the container. Look up from there until you see a ladder, press the Use key to climb up inside the tower to pick up a secret minigun.
- From the first tomb, follow the cliffside to the corner to find an entrance to another tomb. Go inside to find a secret Legend of the Beast with a miniature Khnum in it. The secret is between the two tombs. Keep note that several Kleer Skeletons will spawn upon reaching the tomb.
Trivia[]
- The secret frustrated Kamikaze is using a computer which is running the Total Commander program. The folder which is open is the folder containing the computer monitor model files.
