Well, I used the brute force method. Once you start down the corrider grab all of the stuff from each of the dead guys. When you get to the last guy (4th?) the blue meany with the double barrels of fun should just about be on you. Use the orange crystal to freeze him and then slip past him and go to the end of the corrider (this takes a little practice). He'll then turn around and start coming after you. Just fire, fire, fire until he's dead. Oh, and make sure you use the orange crystal on him. I believe there is also a different brute force method. Also, I think I remember someone saying that there is a really easy way to do it. You might be able to lure him out of the first door (the one that locks you in the room) by blowing the pipes. I'm not real sure about this, though. Keep your gun loaded and your head down! :) Alan From: Robert_Scholes@brown.edu () Newsgroups: comp.sys.mac.games Subject: Re: Pathways Into Darkness Help Followup-To: comp.sys.mac.games Date: 17 Jan 1994 15:17:36 GMT Organization: Brown University Lines: 14 Message-ID: <Robert_Scholes-170194101503@tonto-slip4.cis.brown.edu> References: <Robert_Scholes-160194150059@tonto-slip3.cis.brown.edu> <2hd8tj$nme@charm.magnus.acs.ohio-state.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: tonto-slip4.cis.brown.edu In article <2hd8tj$nme@charm.magnus.acs.ohio-state.edu>, aearhart@magnus.acs.ohio-state.edu (Alan D Earhart) wrote: Use the orange crystal to freeze him and then > slip past him and go to the end of the corrider (this takes a little > practice).

I have the yellow, blue, and pink crystals but no orange. Where can I find it? 2. What's the best weapon to use in shooting him?

That someone was probably me, but I was talking about the purple meanie on "Beware: Earthquake Zone". I don't think the Alien Pipes will lure the blue meanie that far. In fact, I haven't been able to get the pipes to work on any other monster except the purple meanie, but it does definitely work on him. -Ron Hunsinger
