Data

• Description

We have entered the innermost halls of Atlantis. Records are vague as to whether these first halls are some form of defense against intruders or whether they are a strange Atlantean playground for the royals. Don't let events catch you off guard, Sam.

My sensors are detecting concentrated gravitational fields coming from a nearby singularity. I am surprised that the Atlanteans were in possession of such high technology and can only guess as to its purpose, but be warned that what goes up, might not come down.

Secrets

1. When granted access to the underground switch in this section, the chamber has a centrally located lava pool. Within the hot stuff is an inverted triangle with a funky light show of its own, though it's not the customary purple you're used to. Jump through this triangle and, within a flash, you've been transported upward, instantly rewarded with a Serious Bomb. There is also a 5 treasure artifacts (2500 points each).
2. There will come a time when you have to press two buttons to activate a bridge. After doing so, walk to where it meets the outer perimeter. Drop down onto this alcove to find 2 treasure artifacts (2000 points).

Treasure

1. When you're given access to an underground control panel, you'll have to activate a switch. Once you do so, a brief cinema plays out showing a set of stairs you'll have to jump upon. Before you do, drop into the pit underneath to pick up the 2 treasure artifacts (2000 points).
2. In the second section, there is a 3 treasure artifacts on the volt signs on three sides (2500 points each).
3. In the third section, there is a 3 treasure artifacts on each of the paths leading up (3000 points).
4. In the fourth section, there is a 3 treasure artifacts in every far corner (3000 points).
