Keys and exit in Plutonia map Odyssey of Noises (original) (raw)

Get to the keys/exit on PC Plutonia map Odyssey of Noises:

When you first appear on this map, you'll in a building near the middle of the east edge of the map.

RED KEY

Dominating the south end of the map is a wide, red canyon. Along the western edge of that canyon is a series of tall rectangular pedestals. These form a crude stairway that leads up to a building located near the middle of the south edge of the map. Go up into that building. As you enter, turn left and look for a closed door nearby in the corner. Open it to reveal the red key. Grab the key, and a narrow panel will rise up in the west wall nearby, revealing a switch at the back of a small opening. Activate that switch and step out of this building. Go down back the pedestal steps and head to the northeast corner of the map.

YELLOW KEY

Once you have the red key, look at your Automap. Find the fourth building down from the top of the east edge of the map. This building can be recognized by a curving wall at its southeast corner. Go to the northeast corner of this building, and look for a stairway leading up. Go up and around to the right, and you'll see a passage leading north, across a gap, to the next building. Run to jump across that gap, then look for a wide, diamond-shaped window in the north wall. Run to through that window to jump to the roof of the next building. Walk to the northwest corner of this roof, and grab the yellow key you'll find there.

BLUE KEY

Once you have the yellow key, look at your Automap. Look for the single long road that runs east to west across the middle of the map. Near the middle of the map, this east-west road is bisected by a north-south road. From that intersection, follow the road north, and look for a yellow-keyed door on your left. (This door is just behind some narrow pillars running along the east side of a building.) Open that door and Activate the switch you'll find inside. Turn around and walk back through the door. Turn right and head south, back down the road to the intersection near the middle of the map. At this intersection, turn left and follow the road east, until you come to another road on the right, leading south. Go south down that road, passing the first door in a building on your left. Continue south a few paces until you come to the second door on your left. This door is between a pair of small open windows. Open that door and grab the blue key you'll find inside.

THE EXIT

Once you have the blue key, look at your Automap. Find the second building down from the top of the east edge of the map (this is the same building from where you picked up the yellow key). Just west of that building (across the street) is another building. In the east wall of this building is a recessed area, with four square pillars arrayed along a curved wall. Between the back two pillars is a curving staircase that leads to the roof. Go up those steps, and Run north to jump to the roof of the next building. (You may have to back up a little to get a good running start.) Now turn left, and Run west to jump to the roof of the next building. Run west again, to jump to the roof of the next building. Look for a blue-keyed door between a pair of hanging blue banners, and open it. Step through, into the wide hallway, and look for a switch nearby on wall to your left. Activate it, then look for a second switch over at the other end of this hallway, and Activate that one as well. Step back out through the blue-keyed door and turn left to face north. Step north to drop down off this building, and you'll be on an east-west road which runs along the north edge of the map. Turn left and head west along this road, until you come to another road on your left. Head south down that road. When you come to a 4-way intersection with another road, continue heading straight (south), and continue south past the next short road on your left. You'll come to a large, dark brown building on your left. In the west wall of this building is a tall opening between a pair of hanging banners. Head up the steps there and go into the building. Ahead of you is a wide, deep dropoff. Look to your right for a series of narrow pillars rising up from below. These form a temporary path leading southeast to a window-like portal at the southeast corner: The level's exit portal. Warning: These pillars sink down as you step across them. Run across the pillars and into the exit. (If you fall off the pillars, quicky Run to the northwest corner of the lava pit, and step on the teleporter there. You'll reappear at the top, where you were a moment ago. Look for a newly-revealed teleporter booth in the nearby wall, and step in. You'll reappear in front of the exit portal; simply walk in.)

Done!
