Land of the Damned -- 13 secrets
Finally, some cold weather for a change lol. Go down the snowmound, and collect the Bullets and Tommygun. Collect some armor and a health vial, and kill the Zumb'ul, Zorgs, and Arachnoid. There are some Sniper Bullets located between a few of the huts. Continue killing some more Zorgs. Search one of the huts to the right for a creeking door. Blast that door open and go inside to get Secret #1, a Serious Damage.
Get a health vial further down this valley. Also collect an Ammo Pack and the Grenade Launcher, and take care of some more Zorgs. There are two other health vials, both hidden behind a hut near the windmill. Time the windmill so you can safely get on it, collect the health cube and armor, and pull the switch. This switch has triggered Secret #2, a running Santa.
Listen for Santa Sam's jingle bells, and you should see him. He is Serious Sam with sunglasses dressed as Santa. Shoot him to release different powerups including health items, armor items, Ammo Packs, Serious Packs, Invulnerabilities, Serious Damages, or Serious Speeds. There is another health vial next to the windmill. Head into the next part of this valley, and kill the Bio-Mech Majors, Werebull, and Arachnoid Adult. Collecting a health potion will release a Werebull. There are more health potions throughout this area. One near a snowman and 20 Grenades. Pick up the Grenades, and blow up the snowman to uncover Secret #3, gold armor.
You should find a hut on the outside edge of the turn, where you will see Santa stuck in a chimney. Blast him to release him and he will go down the chimney, and Secret #4, a health heart, will be triggered.
Go through the door at the end of this valley, and collect the Laser Gun in this small room. Go through the next door to return outside. Pick up the armor, health cube, Ammo Pack, and Serious Bomb, then carefully head down this valley. Heed NETRICSA's warning about armed Kamikazes coming your way, because there they are! A horde of Kamikazes and Kleers are on the offensive, and they are bringing along something new, the Rotating Cannon. Be sure to destroy that as well as kill everything that attacks you. Watch out for some Bio-Mech Majors and another Rotating Cannon as the Kleers and Kamikazes keep pouring in. Now be careful, as some Bio-Mech Minors are joining the fray. One more Bio-Mech Major waits for you at the end. When he is dead, collect the health cube and the Ammo Pack. There is a health potion near a tree here. Note the snowman wearing sunglasses on your left. Note that the snowman is facing a blue armor vest. Note that you triggered Secret #5 when you collected the armor, and the snowman is firing rockets at you.
Destroy the snowman, and pick up the Sniper Bullets that appear in its place. Now kill some Zorgs, and destroy the Cannons shooting at you from the castle off in the distance. Next to a health potion is a snowman with a switch on it. Flip the switch to trigger Secret #6, another running Santa.
Do to this one what you did to the last one. Remember the fifth secret, the one with the Sniper Bullets? The house to the immediate right of that spot where the Sniper Bullets were has a creaking door. Blast it open for Secret #7, an Invulnerability.
An Ammo Pack, health cube, and health potion wait for you further down, so do some more Zorgs and Cannons. Behind you take care of a Bio-Mech Major and a Demon, then kill the remaining Zorgs and Cannons. Find some Rockets and another health potion, then go through the door. Kill the Zumb'ul, and pick up some Sniper Bullets, some armor, and the Minigun. Some Cells and a health vial lie next to a tree to the right. And next to the collapsed pillar, you will find a health vial. Near that, study the snowman. Shoot at it, and note that it is shrinking as you shoot it. Eventually it will disappear and trigger Secret #8, a health heart and two Bio-Mech Majors.
When you are done here, collect some Rockets, and enter the tunnel. Collect some Rockets and Sniper Bullets in here. As you near the end, the tunnel will begin to quake. Be very careful in this next area. Do not lose your balance. You will die before you reach the lava, I guarantee that. So very carefully cross this first narrow bridge. Dodge all the fireballs. At one point a small quake will occure, and a boulder will come down and break a portion of the bridge. Also a small Lava Golem will spawn right in front of you, so take care of him. Take the Rockets here, then look down at the break in the bridge. Note that familiar sparkling, which is a hidden teleporter. Use it to get to Secret #9, a health heart.
Carefully climb down this ledge and get back to the previous area. Jump across the break onto the next ledge. Kill the Zorg and Lava Golem, then go through the next tunnel. Three more Golems will spawn near the end here. When you emerge, walk to the edge and look up to find a bright spot off in the distance. Fire a rocket just under it to release a secret, which we will get to later. Follow the bridge down to the landing, and take out two more Golems. Go up the next bridge, and kill some more Golems, one of them is of moderate size, and a couple of Demons. Drop down to the ledge with the health cube, then make a jump to the next ledge, where yet another Lava Golem awaits you. Get use to them, they are abundant in these caverns. Follow the bridge to the next ledge with some more Golems, Sniper Bullets, armor, a health potion, and Kleers. Another moderate Golem, and two more Demons are attacking from above. After you've killed them, head up to the ledge that they were on. Pick up the Cannonballs on this ledge to register Secret #10.
Now follow the ledge out to the left. Drop down onto the next ledge and collect the health potion. Make a drop to the next ledge, and follow it until you reach an Ammo Pack, and some Kleers charging out of the next tunnel. Kill the Kleers, but do not enter the tunnel yet. Kill a Demon, take some armor, then follow the ledge out around a boulder, and in a dark area, collect Secret #11, a Cannon.
Now return to the mouth of the tunnel and enter. Kill a Zumb'ul and a Zorg Commander, and collect some Sniper Bullets and a health potion. An Arachnoid Adult is waiting at the end of the tunnel, so kill him, and follow my next set of instructions carefully, because you could fall into the lava and slowly be melted. Start by getting some armor and some Rockets on this ledge. This may sound crazy, considering what I just said, but drop down into the lava and, while jumping, make your way out to the left, and look right. You should see a square ledge with Secret #12, red armor and a health tablet.
Return to the previous area, and quickly get on the next ledge, then kill a moderate Lava Golem and a Demon. Grab some Sniper Bullets and a health potion, then make a series of jumps from ledge to ledge, collecting some Rockets along the way. Some of these floaters will slowly sink into the lava as you remain on them. Kill a Demon, then collect some Grenades, and kill two more moderate Golem further down. Kill another Golem and Demon when you get on the last ledge with some Rockets. Collect a health cube, then jump onto the next ledge, where another small Lava Golem will attack. The next narrow ledge has yet another Golem, so kill him, and carefully cross this ledge. Pick up the Ammo Pack at the end, and drop down to the next ledge with a health cube and some Bullets. As you work your way up the slope, some Kleers and a Bio-Mech Major will spawn. Take care of them before you continue. When they are dead, cross this arch-shaped bridge. As you begin though, another Bio-Mech Major, Lava Golem, and Demon will attack. Once they are dead continue across the arch. Drop off, and go around the base to find and collect Secret #13, a health heart.
Return to the front side and kill the Zorgs here. Take the health vial, then enter this last tunnel. Kill a Zumb'ul in here, and take the health potion. There is another health potion and another Zumb'ul near the end. The room that you have entered now has a kick-ass portal that you can use to return outside. You are now in a wide open area with an icy surface, and a castle out in the distance. That castle is your next objective. Pick up some red armor, Rockets, Grenades, a health cube, and prepare for the next major battle. In this battle you will face some Demons, Zumb'uls, Werebulls, Bio-Mech Minors, Majors, Kamikazes, and Kleers. The doors to the castle will not open until all enemies are dead. Now enter the castle. This level ends on a sour note, as Sam enters the castle, expecting to find the Holy Grail. But instead......... nothing. "What the hell is this? Where's the Grail?" There's only one explaination. "MENTAL!!! NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!"
