Hi!

I'm at the old monastery level. I have just cleared a room with witches coming out of coffins. however, I am stuck and compass does not show anything. Can any1 give me information on what should I do? I have read on a forum that there might be a cave somewhere, d'you know it's place?

thanx

At the bottom of the monastery in the ocean there are cliffs, hidden within a cliffy area is a cave where the level ends.

Look for sharp jagged rocks, if you get close enough, 2 enemies will spawn.

I have gone to the bottom, between sharp rocks and there is nothing and I can not get back.
PLEASE HELP HELP HELP HEEEEEEEEELPPPPPPPPP.

You can see 2 tunnels (or shelters) from sea. One is low-lying. you can jump here(try it more times) there is nothing(there will be then end) try jumping again to the shelter above.

I have been in both shelters.
In the lower one, there were 2 enemys, which I beat.
( then I heared the end tune, when you finished a level )
So, I went to the upper-shelter, but when I followed the red dart on my radar, I came out at the place were the guy at the first post was stuck ( there was a red checkpoint ) SO WERE IS THE GOLDEN BALL TO END IT !?!?

I just experienced this particular nightmare myself. I get to the point where the witches come out of the coffin, I kill 'em all, go up a flight of stairs, but access to the next section is blocked. I go down, and you can't go very far, because downward access is blocked, too. The only room you can get to - the one with the witches/coffins - has no exits.

Most of the levels are really well designed, I think, but this one has a problem. You can get to the lower areas of the map without collecting all the red glowing stars higher up. And if you miss one of those stars higher up, you can't get back to look for it.

Here's what I ultimately did. I started the level from a save, and finally saw a star I missed (high up inside one of the towers). I got that one, then one a little lower towards the front of the structure, and the chandelier crashes through a tomb on the floor. I didn't shoot the chandelier, it feel on its own.

After that, it was fairly easy to figure out where to go. At the end you still had to drop down to some tunnels, and that was a pain, but do-able after multiple attempts (maybe there's a better way that I don't know).

So, to those who are lost, I guess I'd go back to a save earlier in the level, and make sure all the stars higher up are collected before going through the broken tomb in the floor.

I've gone down the door where the chandelier drops and breaks the cover & I've gotten into the tunnels & killed all the monsters but now I'm stuck in the tunnels. Have explored all over & die when dropping through the gap in the floor the sea. Can't seem to get around to the higher worm holes even using strafe jump etc. (stand in the main chamber & look back to where you came in - above that)
Any clues? I'm sure I got all the red stars to that point.
Help??

I'm having the same problem, but I've checked to make sure I got all the stars. I've collected five in total. Two before you get into the monastery. Two high in the monastery itself and one in the tunnel below where the chandelier falls. Still can't seem to advance. I see a door at the bottom of the spiral staircase in the room where all the witches are but can't get it open.

Hi folks

I managed to find a solution to my particular monastery problem, which I will now explain verbosely to try to help others.

Problem

My problem was that I had shot the large cross which had subsequently broken a hole through the floor.
I went down to the tunnels below, killed all the evil baddies, did the ravine jump (you can do it - Just time your jump), collected the star, jumped back . . . and no-where left to go - The door was sealed - Totally stuck!

Cause

The problem seems to be a bug with the game, but I manage to find an easy solution.

It seems to matter which order you do things at this point. What I had done originally was to enter the main tunnel, sweep left, collect the box, jump the ravine into the smaller cave, collect the star, kill the baddies in the small cave, jump back into the big cave, kill all the baddies in there . . and then get stuck.

Solution

Go back to a previous save game, before you go down into the hole in the floor, caused by the cross.

The solution I found was to clear out all the spawning baddies in the large cave before progressing any further.
There are a load of exploding barrels and five boxes of electro-star thingys around. The final spawning baddy to kill in this area is high up, in an area which you can reach by multi-hopping from the tunnel behind.
THEN and only THEN, do the jump across the ravine - Get the star, kill one baddy, jump back - And at this point you will find that the sealed door is now open for you to go up and kill one more to complete this section.
I had no more problems with 'Monastery' - I am running with update V1.3.

I just dont get it, I go to the end of the cliff and jump down like said earlier to get to a cave, kill 2 enimies then hear the finish level sound but dont know where to go. I try to follow the red arror on the hud but i end up nowhere except the highest piont i can get to know is up the little rocks and then nowhere else to go to?!

Here is the answer. After killing the witches coming out of the coffins, go back up the stairs and over to the ravine "where the stone bridge leads over to the other side" stand beside the the stone bridge and look down on the other side and you will see a cave, jump down to the cave, kill the bad guys and then look for the ledge that leads down to the bottom. This will be over by the water. 2 bad guys are down there and the end. Good Luck!!! Post here for more help.

Having just spent an hour with the same problem, and with none of the other ideas working, I finally finished the level. For me, after killing the witches coming out of the coffins, there was simply nothing else to do. Like one of the above posters, if I went into the water, and killed the two skeletons at the end, I heard the sound of the level end, but the portal wasn't there. What I finally figured out was, if you kill only one of the two skeletons and wait, the red marker for a checkpoint should show up on your arrow map. Head into the water, all the way around and back up into the monastery. Go back to the room where the witches and coffins were, and you should now be able to follow the level from there. If you kill both, it activates the portal, but doesn't display it since you haven't completed the rest of the checkpoints, glitching it. if you only kill the one, and I don't think it matters which, you still have one activating skeleton to kill once you've completed everything else.

I am really at a loss here. I started this level an hour in-game time prior to where I am at now. Certain things just don't add up and I am sick to death of this level .. frankly it has seemed to be 'the' single most annoying level so far.

So far monster kill count leaves a mere 15 left to kill. I went to both the caves that are jump down-able to and cleared them ... the rest of the level as far as I know is cleared. The second cave (witches from the coffins) however .. which I got to by jumping the canyon from the entrance to the counterpart cave, has 2 areas that look like doors .. one of which is at the top of some stairs and is still shut. It is from this point that it would appear the next checkpoint is.

I have already found all secrets/holy items, etc with the exception of all ammo. I got both the pentacles from the upper area of the monastery. I'd like screenshots of the locations of the other 3 ... I likely got most of them but the chance I missed one does exist.

The secondary thing I need screenshot or verbosely descriptive location help with (starting at ground level of the monastery interior .. is that of the silver cross mentioned .. as I don't see one. What I do see is that long-hanging object that I will take to be the chandelier. When shot it drops a certain amount and moves around...eventually returning to its original mounted position .. but from what I see does so for no apparent reason.

Currently under autosaves there are 2 checkpoints for this level showing, that's it. One at 21 minutes in, the other at 47. If there are any missing I'm at a loss of why. I'm so tired of and frustrated with this level that I'm avoiding playing PK, so any assistance is welcome.

OK once again I will try and help. Make sure you keep your health pack above 50 (tho you can still finish the game if it goes below). collect all stars (I think its 4 stars) kill everyone in the map before going downstairs for the witches coming out of the coffins. After going downstairs and killing all living things, come back upstairs and walk over to the revine (or dropoff) right on the left side of the stone walkway going across the revine, (but don't cross the walkway) stand on the left side of the walkway and look down in the revine and you will see a cave on the other side. Jump down into the revine and into the hole and start killing all bad guys, do not go down towards the water yet because around the courner is more bad guys. Make sure you kill all bad guys and then go down the hole towards the water and kill the 2 bad guys down there and its over. Call this # if you still need help (1-812-490-1331) ask for Mike.
