THE ABYSS: Incident at Europa

WALKTHROUGH PART 3

EUROPA CAVERNS 1 and 2

CAVERN 1

1. There are 2 exits. (The left passage is a dead end, but has a clump of healthy first aid sod.) While facing the Minisub, turn right and take that passage. Follow it along until you reach a pool of water. Jump in.
2. This underwater passage will fork. Look for a right passage (it is hard to see) which winds around to the right to a pool above you where you can exit. (If you take the left one by mistake, it will also lead to a pool. That path leads to a large room with two adjoining passages. There is a first aid rock in one of the rooms, and a winged mutant wanders around here, but nothing else.)
3. Once out of the water, walk straight ahead. It is almost impossible to avoid the one item you need - a Metal Plank. After picking it up, leave.
4. To get back to the Minisub, go to the pool and jump in. While swimming take the left passage to the exit hole. The path from there leads to the Minisub, which will take you back to the Station. Jump up twice to get back to the Engineering Dept. of this Minisub Bay.

Turn and walk around the box to the right, walking forward and out the far exit. (A point of reference can be the observation room entrances should be on the left of the Minisub bay.) Turn left, and take the second left (the first left is probably the entrance to another Jumpship. It is guarded by a Robot). Go through a water door into another Engineering Dept. for a Minisub Bay (bottom left on the map). Be ready - this Bay is protected by a group of Robots and several other pesky mutants. Find the square hole in the floor. Jump in and down to activate the button and travel to Cavern 2.

CAVERN 2

1. Turn completely around so that the Minisub is behind you. There are six separate passages to choose from. Walk toward the right and take the first right passage. Make your way through the narrow corridors until you come to a low, rectangle opening. Press the Z key to crouch down and carefully walk forward. A message on your screen advises that you need to put something across the "Unjumpable Chasm". Get close to the edge on the right side. Select the Metal Plank and press the spacebar. Walk across the plank to the other side.
2. Continue forward, bearing right until you find a boiling pool of water with stepping stones. Jumping across these stepping stones is tricky. With each successful leap, SAVE YOUR GAME. It helps to look down (PageDown key) to make sure you are standing on the very edge of each stone before you jump. You will be doing a zigzag pattern across the pool. (Sorry - it was too difficult to map.)
3. After you are across, follow the passageway to a room with a colorful machine and a winged mutant. Take the other door out and follow that corridor to a murky pond with something in mid-air above it. Walk into the pond and get the Sludge.
4. You must now go back the way you came - stepping stones and all! Once you are back at the Minisub, you can explore the other sections of this cavern if you wish. You have the item you came for so you can leave in the Minisub when you want to. Jump up twice again to get back into the Engineering Dept.
