"City of Memphis - Metropolis" is the ninth level of Serious Sam: The First Encounter, Serious Sam: Xbox, Serious Sam HD: The First Encounter, Serious Sam VR: The First Encounter, and Serious Sam Classics: Revolution.
Plot[]
Sam, now in the metropolitan area of Memphis, must make his way to the Temple of Ptah, where an ancient Sirian artifact is located, and hopefully, it will aid him in his mission.
Data[]
We have entered the metropolitan area of Memphis. According to ruins that archaeologists of our time found, it was a beatiful place with gardens and houses to live in. Only rich and privleged had the honor to live in this area.
During the riog against Thebes, Memphis leaders, stole, among other relics, one sacred item that they believed was very valuable. The item was placed in a central building of this part of town, called the Temple of Ptah. It was a tall building by which ancient Egyptians wanted to get closer to the sky and their gods. The exact purpose of this item is unknown, but it is considered to be of a great importance. After the sacred item was placed, the surronding area was built to preserve the temple from possible intruders. So, don't expect to get in easily.
Now, make your way to the Temple of Ptah.Secrets[]
- After exiting the village area with the four scarabs, you pass through a doorway into a long alleyway with a spike pit further on. Before going down the steps to start the run, turn right and you'll see a differently-coloured wall beside the doorway. Blow it up with a rocket to reveal a secret ammo depot containing an SBC Cannon and some cannonballs.
