Deep in the bowels of the earth, hidden somewhere underneath the
ruins of ancient Greece is the Tomb of Tihocan
|
Sights to See
The tomb will not impress you, after you have already visited the
Cistern, because you will find more examples of how the
ancients manipulated water currents. |
You will, however, be impressed by how the builders of this tomb use water currents to keep out unwanted visitors, and they certainly go to great lengths to keep out grave-robbers, with dart guns, swinging blades and metal jaws. Unique to the tomb are stone blocks too heavy to push around, but can float in water! It must be a property of the stone, because they are also able to carve statues that are so life-like you'd swear they're moving. There is no evidence that the two made of the same material.
Local Fauna
Within the tomb, you will find crocodiles, rats, gorillas and a lion.
There are two other inhabitants of the tomb, but they don't really
qualify as fauna... nor are they flora... the two statues outside the
tomb are centaurs.
|
Tourism
You guessed it, Pierre's still hot on your tail. But don't worry, he
get's what he deserves in the end, and the best part is that you get
to give it to him.
|
Souvenirs
In your travels, you will need to acquire two rusty keys, two gold
keys, and the second piece of the scion. Now, remember that Pierre's
been sent to get exactly these things, so don't be surprised if he
beats you to the prize.
|
Hidden Treasures
There are only two secrets in the tomb. The first of which is just a
matter of being in the right places at the right time. And you will
slip right past the second if you aren't paying attention.
|
Hazards
There are plenty of ways to die in the tomb which include drowning,
getting chomped by steel jaws, sliced by swinging blades, falling from
obscene heights and shot to death by Pierre. And all this before even
mentioning the usual local beasts that wish to have you for lunch.
