- For the location, see Luxor (location).
"Luxor" is the twelfth level of Serious Sam: The First Encounter, Serious Sam HD: The First Encounter, Serious Sam VR: The First Encounter, and Serious Sam Classics: Revolution, and the thirteenth level of Serious Sam: Xbox.
Plot[]
While Sam was searching his way through the temples back in Karnak, NETRICSA discovers some vital information involving a ritual with the Sign of Amon-Ra, and says that "an obelisk would rise (a transmitter), and "gods" (the Sirian spaceship) would come from the sky (outer space), and would illuminate a beam of light (laser beam) at the Great Pyramid". Sam must activate this obelisk and head for the Great Pyramid as soon as possible.
Data[]
We entered Luxor. With night over, your progress should be easier.
I think that we're finally very close to solving some mysteries. I have a collected of valuable information. Here in Luxor, Thebans performed a ritual of inviting Gods. The ritual involved the Amon-Ra sign and was performed in a large room with a rising obelisk. Shortly after the obelisk rises, Gods would supposedly come from the skies. The Gods would come down on a bright star that falls from the sky over The Great Pyramid, illuminate the pyramid with a beam of light and then, after a time, rise back up on the star, to the sky. However, following the riot, Thebans were never again able to call the Gods down. This must have been somehow connected with their loss of the Amon-Ra sign, which you now have.
You must find the large room with the rising obelisk. Then we will decide what to do next.Secrets[]
- On the left side of Luxor, where you pick up the golden heart, in the first area, there's a building with a health bottle inside it. You need to pick up the Medium Health, not just walk over it (which means that this secret cannot be achieved on Tourist difficulty, unless you damage yourself below 200 health points and quickly collect the bottle before health regenerates up to 200 points). Once you've picked it up, some Sirian Werebulls will spawn, and the ceiling will lower. Once the ceiling drops, collect all the items on it. Because this secret requires the player be at 99 health or lower to activate it, it must be skipped when doing no-damage runs.
- Before you exit the left side of Luxor, when you have the golden heart, go to the right corner next to the exit to find a bouncer. Use it to bounce up and get a medium health. There's another bouncer behind the health; use it to get to the roof of the opposite building.
- While on the roof of the opposite building from #2, there is a differently colored wall. Blow it up to find an ammo depot.
- On the right side of Luxor, where you pick up the feather of truth, in the first area, there are 5 pillars. Use the SBC Cannon to blow up the pillar on the left, in front of you as you enter, and the pillar back in the right. This will spawn some ammo on the last destroyed pillar's position.
- When you enter the area where you get the feather of truth, immediately turn and walk left. There's a bounce pad that will take you to an Extra Large Health in an alley.
- Before leaving the right side of Luxor, with the feather, turn around and jump on the adjacent building of the door. You'll see a differently colored part on it. Shoot it to lower a platform, which will take you to a secret room with Gnaars (both males, females and floating Gnaars) and an extra large health. Shoot it again to rise it.
- In the area with the spike pit, jump in its center. You will be teleported into a secret place including a Super Armor before you are killed by the spikes. Note that the teleport only works once however.
- After you collect all ankhs in the final area and when you walk towards the door, if you immediately turn left and head for the other door, this will take you to Sacred Yards.

Trivia[]
- In Serious Sam: Xbox, Luxor has different music compared to the PC version, as its original music is used for Karnak. However, it does not appear on the Serious Sam: The First Encounter soundtrack album released in 2020.
- In the first large open area, destroying the statues of Bast will spawn many Scythian Witch-Harpies.
- In the center area, between the area with the golden heart and the area with the feather of truth, if the giant statue of Anubis is damaged, several Kleer Skeletons will pop out.
- In the first area where the player gets the golden heart, if they pick up the armor shard in the bottom-right corner, an adult Arachnoid will spawn on top of a platform, which will move suddenly towards where the armor shard was.
