Vampyr - Pandora's Box Quest & Secret Vault Puzzle Walkthrough

Image
This is a walkthrough post for "Pandora's Box", a fascinating and complicated quest in Vampyr . It spans through several main missions and is connected with a subsequent brilliant puzzle that opens a secret vault which, in turn, rewards you with a cool weapon, a special collectible and an achievement. Main mission "Unnatural Selection" : after you find your way via the sewers to reach the Temple Church area but before you go to meet Aloysius Dawson, run around the perimeter of the church to locate an underground passage. At the end of this passage, an Indian fortune teller, Usher Talltree, will be sitting surrounded by curios, doing his magic. Talk to him to get one important hint for Aloysius Dawson, and also have him offer you his quest, Pandora's Box, to find his stolen notebook. If you have enough money, you can ask him to "read the cards" and every time you do this, he will give you hints on several residents. I skipped this part, since it is

Tomb Raider I: Atlantean Scion & Unfinished Business Playthrough

 

The last playthrough in my Tomb Raider Nostalgia Series is that of the very first game, both of the classics and the series as a whole. The original Tomb Raider game is a pure vintage gem with so much sentimental value that it makes up for the fuss that you have to go through in order to decently run and record it on a modern computer system. 

The resolution is a bit low in the main game, but everything is smooth and running well in Unfinished Business, the Gold expansion, which, by the way, is one of the two classic Tomb Raiders that I have played less (along with The Lost Artifact, as I mentioned in my Tomb Raider III report). Now playing UB again, I remembered why: although it is beautiful visually and very elaborate as far as gameplay and puzzles are concerned, I soon got fed up with those mutant mummies with their annoying (insert non-decent characterization here) screeching noises. Regardless, the Gold expansion, like the main game, is a lovely game, and very interesting too from a technical aspect, because in it you can see how elements from the main game were expanded to an impressive degree.

Like with all previous playthroughs of this series, I don't go for all pickups and kills (although I complete most of these objectives), but I do find all the secrets in every level. I have again split the playthrough in parts, one per region.

Part 1 is Peru: Caves, City of Vilcabamba, The Lost Valley, Tomb of Qualopec.

Part 2 covers the Greco-roman levels: St Francis' Folly, The Colosseum, Palace Midas, The Cistern, Tomb of Tihocan.

Part 3 is Egypt: City of Khamoon, Obelisk of Khamoon, Sanctuary of the Scion.

Part 4 is Atlantis: Natla's Mines, Atlantis, The Great Pyramid.

The last part includes the four levels of the Gold expansion "Unfinished Business": Return to Egypt, Temple of the Cat, Atlantean Stronghold, The Hive.
