BLOOD: Cryptic Passage - Lost Monastery [All Secrets Found]

Episode: Cryptic Passage
Level: Lost Monastery
Secrets: Seven
Difficulty: Well Done

Technically speaking, it's not lost anymore since I found it? Amirite?! Alright, alright, it's not my game, I can't just suddenly decide to change the level names based on my own preference. I apologise Sunstorm Interactive for trying to take away any credit from this awesome level. That's right, my apology will come in the form of reigning superlatives down on the level design. I hope that will be sufficient.

You want reasons as to why this level is awesome? Alright. It's long enough so that it satisfies my inner explorer, it has a fast-flowing river for you to swim in, you can jump down a well (a well damn it!), and you can ring a giant bell (a giant bell damn it!). Amongst all that, the level design is quite brilliant and to top it all off, Duke Nukem himself makes another cameo. Alright, so he looks just as haggard as he did back at the Dark Carnival but it's still nice to see a familiar face when fighting the scourge of the Cabal.

All in all, this level's great!

And do you know the best thing about this level? The great level design carries on over into the next level which also happens to be one of my favourites. Let's hope that this trend continues. For the greater good!

---------------------------------------

Secrets One & Two: 0:22 - 1:01. For Secret Two, I use a Zombie to give me a boost over the wall. To be honest, I couldn't get over the wall any other way. That's why I save myself from slaying all but one Zombie at the start so he can help me out!

Secret Three: 2:30 - 2:38.

Secret Four: 3:28 - 3:42.

Secret Five: 5:47 - 6:00 & 12:27 - 12:40.

Secret Six: 8:35 - 8:42.

Secret Seven: 9:22 - 9:45.

Like with Gothic Library, a bug on the end-of-level statistics screen states that there are only Six Secrets to be found. Well, I beg to differ! Again!

Yeah, you can keep one of the zombies alive to get prematurely to the first secret, but I always use one of their dead heads to do that, but I admit its more difficult.

11:27 Wait a minute, that Bellhouse looks like it's been inspired from Hexen.
