Plot

Sam and NETRICSA have both found the Time-Lock. According to the latter, its location is deep within the Forbidden City. To proceed, Sam must first pass through the Three Halls of Harmony.

Data

• Description

We have successfully located the timelock! Triangulation pinpoints the device deep within the heart of the city, in the midst of the Imperial Gardens. In order to reach this garden you must first pass through the Three Halls Of Harmony.

Within these halls you can expect to be slowed down by fiendish traps intended to protect hidden stores of treasure. We can also expect the enemy to pull every trick in the book to prevent you reaching the timelock. There is a Chinese Proverb, Sam, which says 'The wise man takes no pleasure in killing his enemy'. So try not to smile as you lay waste to these abominations.

Secrets

1. Destroy the wall behind you, jump into the teleporter and get laughing gas with red armor.
2. When you leave the building, find the 2 buttons on the far left and right sides. A passage with a Serious Bomb and 2 Treasure Chests (2500 points each) will open in the middle.
