 City of the Damned The Cathedral 
You're in a cathedral. Turn around, open the door on the left containing the Gauntlets. The door on the right will open; kill the Golem within it. Turn back around and kill several Golems coming at you. Get the goodies in the left section, go up the steps on the right and kill the creatures.

Hop out of the opening at the end, obtain the Gold Key and kill the Undead Warriors that emerge from the hidden section. Grab the Tome of Power and proceed into the Worship Area, killing the creatures as you go.

Around the stone wall you will come to the Gold Door. Kill the Golems guarding it, enter to Main Room and kill all of the creatures within. Part of the big platform will rise as you walk around it, to reveal a monolith inside it and goodies scattered around it. Make your way full circle around the Main Room, to a switch that's on your left, if you're facing the entrance. Enter the lowered pedestal on the other side of the room. Kill the Golems, continue around, grab the Crossbow and hop back out into the Main Room.

Continue forward to the next switch at the other side of the room. Head up the lowered pedestal on the right side of the switch. Grab the Silver Shield on your left and the Bag of Holding on your right, each of which are behind some barrels. Open the wooden door in front of you and hop down into a large darkened room. As you enter, four large columns begin to rise and fall, revealing several goodies, while creatures attack you from all around.

As the battle ensues, you can grab the Torch to light the room and obtain the Dragon's Claw to use it on your attackers. Once the room has been cleared, fire in the direction from which a stream of axes is emanating. There's a false wall containing Undead Warriors, which you can shoot at until the axes cease. There's a secret door in the corner to your left; open it and grab the Map Scroll. You can open the wall behind it, which leads to the Main Room.

Turn back around, walk up to the steps and onto the ledge. Enter the cloistered area where the Undead Warriors were sniping at you and kill the Golems that attack from behind triggered walls. Grab the Tome of Power, hop back out into the large room and cross over the ledge to the other side of the room. Retrieve some goodies along the way and open the secret door under the hanging skull.

Turn right, kill the Undead Warrior at the rising step, go up and kill the Golem. Follow the Time Bombs, open the little wooden door and walk through to find you've gone in a big circle.Bo back into the big dark room to the door on the other side and kill the Gargoyle and Undead Warrior within.

Go in, collect some Claw Orbs, turn around and kill the Gargoyle through the opening. Go to the left side of the wall and open the secret door. Kill the Gargoyle within and follow the trail around to hop out of the opening. As you cover the table the portion of floow opens before you, revealing a secret path and several Golems within.

Hope down into the opening before the floor closes, kill the Golems, follow the subterranean trail leading to another group of Golems. Kill them and make your way outside to the grave yard.

Kill all of the creatures in the Cemetary, picking up goodies as you make your way around the left side of the mausoleum. There is a secret door to the left of the mausoleum window. Open it and grab the Shadowsphere. Make your way completely around the outside of the mausoluem, go in and kill the Golem to your right. Open the secret door which is a flickering lit corner on your left.

After killing the Golems within, go in, turn to your immediate left and flip the switch. Turn around, make your way to the other end of the room and step through the portal. This bamphs you to the top of the table containing the Tome of Power in the main room of the mausoleum. As you jump down, a wall triggers and creatures emerge. Kill them and obtain the Green Key in the corner of the room.

Go out of the mausoleum, heading straight to the silver door ahead of you. Open it, kill the Golem, obtain the Ring of Invincibility and lower the pedestal wall to the Main Room. Turn back around and walk along your left side to the other door along the wall. Open it, kill the Golem and enter the Portal.

You materialize in a secret niche with a Morph Ovum. Pick it up, trigger the wall to your right and walk out to the area of the cathedral where you began. Make your way all the way back to the Green Door, which is now accessible to you, since you flipped the switch in the mausoleum.

Open the door, kill the Gargoyles, go right, kill the Undead Warrior in the corner and take the Bag of Holding. Turn around and kill the Disciple of D'Sparil that lowered from the platform to the floor behind you. Take the Wings of Wrath, proceed around to your left, kill the Undead Warriors in the hall, follow the trail of Time Bombs to a switch around the corner at the end of the hall, and hop down back into the main room.

Walk back to the Green Door and this time as you enter, veer left and open the wooden door. Grab the goodies around the corner, kill the Golems and enter the portal. You're back in the cloistered niche that hid the Undead Warriors. Head out to the large darkened room with the four large rising columns up the little steps on the left to walk on the ledge to your right and enter the secret room again on the other side of the room. This time open the door on your left, kill the Gargoyle and enter the portal.

You know where you are, once again. Use your Wings of Wrath and take flight into the next room to obtain the goodies in the stained glass windows above. The middle windows on each side trigger to reveal Gargoyles that emerge from within. Have a nice Descent-style aerial battle with the flying red fiends, and you can even use your Morph Ovum on them in-flight for extra giggles.

Go back to the main room, to the far left side of the room and flip the switch that is now revealed from the wooden post. Turn around to see the monolith in the middle has removed to reveal a huge sparkling blue exit. Feel free to go up and take a look, picking up any remaining goodies, but don't enter the exit portal.

Head back to the Green Door once more, making your way around to the right, back to the point where you killed the two Undead Warriors in the hall with the Time Bombs. You'll notice a wall has been removed to reveal an area with two long sets of steps and a hallway on the other side. This is the meditation area for a sect of Disciples. Make use of your Ring of Invincibility as you make your way down the steps and kill all of the Disciples. Go around to the hall along the other side after the first flight of steps, kill the Disciple on the other end and flip the switch.

Hop through an opening on the right side of the switch, stock up on the goodies in the space between the two flights of steps, turn around and go through the doorway. Kill the Disciple and enter the exit portal to the secret level (The Graveyard).
