"Damn! A puzzle. I hate puzzles."

―Sam Stone

Valley of Keys is the second level of Serious Sam: The Random Encounter.

Plot

Sam and his new buddy continue their journey through the desert, but find a large door blocking their path forwards. After expressing his hatred for puzzles, the heroes collect a nearby key to open the gate, destroy a Major Bio-mechanoid stationed at the exit and continue onwards.

Tactics

• While a second area with two chests and a teleporter are visible from the map (referred to in-game as "1-2B Flaming Desert"), it is not actually possible to access this area just yet. This happens in a later level.
• The chest next to the key holds a Kamikaze Bait item, which can act as a substitute for the Serious Bomb found in the middle chest if used carefully.
