In the Thick of It
When you start the game, you can choose characters to suit your playstyle. They range from slow and take a lot of punishment, to fast and fragile. Once you begin, you’ll notice that Rise of the Triad is very fast paced and can be felt especially in terms of movement. Push through the concrete compound toward the fence with the rocket launcher behind it.
Move ahead past the towers and you’ll soon face your first enemies, with one trying to shoot you on top of a row of hover discs. Quickly take them out. Past the hover discs is an outhouse on the right. Step on the triad symbol on the ground. It will open a door, giving you access to the rocket launcher behind the fence.
Leave this secret area, then hang a left to the double metal doors, past the red banners. Once you open the door, you’ll face a swarm of enemies. Up ahead, you’ll also see an outpost with a searchlight above. Kill all the enemies in the outpost, along with any scattered around the grounds.
Grab the coins on the left and right side of the outpost. In front of the outpost is a bounce pad. Jump on it to quickly get inside the outpost. Crouch by pressing “Left Control” to enter, then grab the heat seeker. Pull the switch inside the outpost to open the gate. Also, from the entrance is a small tower on the left, where you can grab bullet armor.
Now pull the switch next to the double metal doors behind the outpost. Kill the enemies the reside here, then jump on the bounce pad onto the hover discs. Up ahead are some Prince of Persia-esque traps, spinning blades.
From the edge of the hover disc platform, jump to the pipes on the left side wall past the fire. From here you can dodge the last set of spinning blades to grab the god mode power up. Using this, you’ll be temporarily invincible, while you use your hand to decimate foes.
Head to the open gate, kill the enemies on top, then use the moving platform to get on top. Choose a side, then head down the stairs to enter the next area. Gib more enemies, then proceed to the double doors with two torches on both sides.
Upon entering, you’ll see a building in the middle with hover platforms all around it. Take care of the enemies in the vicinity, and grab the coins, especially the room with the bouncy pads where the coins form an arc.
There’s a corner in this area where there are boxes stacked on next to a hole in the wall, down a set of stairs. Blow up the boxes, then enter the hole to grab some medium coins.
Head through the double doors with lamps attached to the walls on each side. Immediately shoot the enemy, then hang a left. You’ll see metal boxes in front of a bouncy pad that’s illuminating the walls blue. Use the pad to access a secret area, complete with two enemies and horde of small coins.
Head back down and take out more enemies as the path hooks a left. Careful of the soldiers on the balconies. There are hover pads that work like elevators to lead up to the balconies. Keep following the path given as more enemies fall by the wayside.
Soon, garage doors will open on the left side. Destroy your enemies, then grab more coins. Keep pushing forward. You’ll see a bouncy pad jump up top the next structure. Head up, grab more coins, then drop down.
There’s a bouncy pad on some metal grates which you can use to get more small coins. When all the enemies have been defeated and you grabbed as many coins as you can, follow the grates to the exit. It’s a metal door labeled “Exit”.
Burned and Amazed
Make a left along the path to continue your adventures through this concrete fortress. Grab the rocket launcher leaning on the wooden pallet on the left before heading through the metal doors into a courtyard.
Destroy the enemies that confront you in the courtyard. Directly across from the metal doors you entered is a room with rows of small coins to pick up. When you leave the room, head up the stairs just ahead.
When you reach the top of the stairs, turn to the left to where the red banners are. Move along the railing to grab medium coins. Keep walking on the railing. You’ll see a row of medium coins on the balcony above. Jump on top of the boxes, then leap to the ledge to get the coins.
Jump down, then head back up the stairs again, then open the next set of metal doors. Blast the enemies occupying the outside area, then enter the open doorway on the right. Kill enemies as you move along. Grab the small coins down the hallway, then enter the room, the first left as you reach the end of the hallway, right before the coins.
Clear the room, then head up the elevator, which are made up of hover discs. Kill the lone guard when you reach the top, then snatch some more small coins by the tables. Flip the switch on the panel by the window highlighted by an orange light.
Exit the room, move down the hall to grab the rocket launcher, then eliminate two guards when you head outside. Grab more coins before heading down the stairs. Hang a right, then make a left down the alleyway. Enter through the gate.
Kill more soldiers as you pass by buildings with garage doors on the left and right. Enter two of the garage doors to grab coins. Head back out through the gate you entered, then head left. You’ll see a crumbled pillar leaning on a wall. Climb up to the top of the wall.
Hop on top of the buildings to grab more coins. There are also some down around the perimeter of the building. Now do the same for the other garage door buildings. When you’re done collecting, head through the next set of metal doors.
Once you enter, you’ll be fired upon. There are two platforms on the left and right side that contain small coins, along with a bounce pad that kind of connects the platforms by medium coins. Take out the soldiers, then collect the small coins on each platform.
Enter the room across from the metal gates you used to enter to stock up on some change. Once you’re done, hook a right to continue your way through the fortress.
You’ll reach more metal doors, past a table on the right with bowls of food on top. Go in blasting, aiming for the soldier inside the building with the silver coins on top. To grab the coins, head left up the stairs, then when you have enough height, jump on top the building to get the coins. Going either left or right will lead you to the same area.
On the right is a building with a row of windows. Head to the left building first to grab more coins, then head for the building with the windows. The building is a shooting range. Eliminate more enemies, then push through the range.
Head to the room with the metal shelves with a ton of small coins to collect. Exit the room into the next outdoor area, full of pillars with garage doors. Only one building can be entered here and it’s through an elevator. Head up, shoot the guard, grab the coins, then head to the next area via ramp.
Neutralize the enemies here, then head to the large metal doors. You’ll see a plethora of hover platforms above. Take out the enemies, then jump on the discs via bounce pad to grab the coins.
Continue following the path down until you reach a tower with gunners inside. Take out the gunners and their friends that begin to surround you. Use the bounce pad on top of the box to get the coins inside the tower. Drop down, head to the left of the tower and move underneath the triad symbol.
Hang a right and move parallel to the fence on the left side. Grab the coins inside the room on the right side where the enemies spawn, then continue up the stairs on the left side. Continue demolishing enemies as you push forward.
Doors will open up in front of you before you reach the stairway on the right side by the fire. Mow the enemies down, then head up the stairs. A truck will crash into the building. Head out, obliterate the enemies, then enter the door under the banners to finish the level.
Too Much Room
What a great way to start a level by avoiding spinning blades. Quickly move past them, shoot the guards on the balconies on the left and right side, then head up the staircase. Move through the corridor. The first door on the right houses a locker room. Grab the small coins in the room, and take out the guard.
Take the door, second one from the left, and take out the guard in the room where they sleep. It’s filled with cots. Kill more guards and collect more coins. Take the door on the left side. This will exit the room and put you back into the hallway. Shoot the guards on the left underneath glowing red light, then move down the hallway, to the right, into the double doors.
Grab the coins inside, by the “no entry” doors, then head back out. Continue down the hallway and turn right past the bathroom doors. You’ll enter a control room. Take out more guards, then head left, past the flame throwing wall that subsides in about 4 second intervals.
Look ahead for the tower that’s surrounded by explosive barrels. Head up the tower, then flip the orange lit switch. Head back down and all the garage doors will open. They’re filled with baddies. The garage door on the right contains coins, and the one on the left, nabs you the silver key to continue. Head back to the control room to open the silver garage door.
Kill the lone guard, then make a right into the vent. You’ll enter a room where another lone guard will soon turn into gibs. Enter the next vent. If you continue toward the grate, you’ll enter a medium secret area to grab a weapon. Head back out and make a right into the next room with two enemies. Kill them, then take the coins on top of the metal shelves.
Exit through the door with the mushroom. Take it and you’ll feel a bit woozy. How this is a powerup, I don’t know. Head right into the vehicle garage. There are two of them, connected by a hallway on the ground floor and the second.
Use the bounce pads in both garages to nab the coin arcs. Use the hover discs to get to the balconies to grab more coins. Take out the guards on the bottom floor first before you start coin collecting. The first vehicle garage, before the flaming hallway, contains bullet armor on the first floor. To get it, simply head to the second floor above that room, then drop down the vent.
Exit through the reddish/brown metal doors with the triad symbol. Kill the enemies that swarm the hallways, then enter the warehouse with tons of metal shelves. Grab the coins on top of the shelves as you take out the baddies.
Continue forward to the balcony, through the doors next to the windows. Grab the gold key, they flip both switches in the room. More enemies will swarm the place. Two garage doors will open on the left and right. Grab the coins and loot inside.
Exit out the way you came, then hang a left to open the gold door with the gold key. You’ll need to dodge this fireball filled hallway. Before you proceed, take out the enemies ahead. You’ll enter a huge courtyard with rooms high above you can enter. Of course there are enemies. If you can, take out the ones on the balconies.
Enter the little outpost and head up to kill a guy and flip a switch. This will open two more buildings. Take out the enemies that emerge, then enter one of the buildings to use the elevator. Use the bounce pad to jump on the closest platform alongside the walls and use the moving hover discs to continue up.
Make your way around the platforms, while entering the rooms to grab coins and kill enemies. When you make your way around, you’ll reach a platform with a switch. Flip it on and a key you need to exit the level will appear below on the ground floor, highlighted by a spot light.
Before heading down however, continue up. There’s a secret area above that can be reached by using the bounce pad along the wall that’s placed at an angle. It might take a few tries, but it will be worth it. Once you reach it, grab the coins, then god mode.
Drop down, grab the key, kill some guards, grab coins inside the garage doors, then head up to the platform that’s marked by coins shaped like an arrow. Open the door, take out the soldiers inside, then flip the switch to exit.
Spring Surprise
Move down the hallway. Make a left to grab the rocket launcher, then continue down the hallway. The metal doors ahead will slide open. Use that rocket launcher. You’ll enter a room with banners hanging on pillars. Use the bounce pad to get on the balcony into the control room. Flip the switch, then take out the incoming guards.
Push through the now opened barred gate. Kill the enemies, then grab the coins before heading into the next room. Neutralize two more enemies here, then head for the triad door. Move past the spinning blades to get the gear in the alcove on the right where the shelves are.
Move ahead and enter the room on the left as the blades pass by. Grab the coins on the other side of the fence, wait for the blades to go by again, then enter the room. Exit out to the other side through another sliding double door. You’ll enter another room with a barred gate ahead and pillars and balconies on the left and right side.
Destroy the enemies in the room and grab the coins on the balconies. From the balcony, you can jump into the little outpost to grab more coins. Move through the barred gate toward the blue light ahead (labeled 13), and collect the coins using the bounce pad. At the end of this room, grab the gold key.
Leave the room, then make your way past the spinning blades. Enter the hallway on the right with the floor marked “gold”. Enter the room, kill the two guards, then proceed to exit the room. Hang a left toward the double doors. You’ll enter a pretty big prison facility with spinning blades on both sides. Grab the coins in the middle using the bounce pad.
Use the bounce pads to get to the other side, then head toward the metallic triad doors. You’ll see hover discs moving left and right over a gap. Grab the coins in the hole, then bounce back up and use the discs to get across. Step on the long line of discs to head up.
Shoot the enemy in the face because it’s preferred, then move down the control room to grab the silver key floating above a nice rug. Jump down, hang a right and kill some enemies. You’ll spot a switch that will open a barred door. Use it and head up the staircase to reach the second level.
Continue right down the walkway, avoiding the rather large wall of spikes. Soon you’ll see more stairs that lead to the next floor. Before you head up, take the stairs down to grab coins to enter a secret area containing a rocket launcher. Head up to the third level, hook a left, then neutralize more baddies.
Continue until you reach a control room. Head through, until you flip a switch. It will sound an alarm. Back track, then make a right. Wait for the bridge to come down. Enter the outpost, grab god mode, then flip the switch. Cross the bridge on the other side as you eliminate foes with reckless abandon.
Continue right to find a secret area with an interesting portrait on the wall. Leave the room, turn right a bit, then jump down to the second level. Take the stairs down. Soon, you’ll reach a mini-control room. Kill the guard, then flip the switch.
Exit the room, then head back to the center of the prison. Shutter doors will open from the ground floor. Eliminate the guards that spawn, then drop down into the sewer, then head for the stairway that leads to more spinning blades.
Push forward as you pass by the first spinning blade then make a right. Continue down the hallway. Wait for the blade next to the barred gate to move away from you before you reach a brief respite. Grab some food by the tables, then continue down the hallway. Move past the blood splatter.
Proceed through, using the alcove on the right side for a breather. Keep pushing through until you reach a switch that will open the gate. Once it’s open, hang a left. Time to jump on platforms over a burning, spiked pit. Yay!
Jump from pillar to pillar until you reach the exit.
General Darian’s Lair
Jump down the chute, then head for the spinning red warning light. Follow the hallway, then flip the switch between the lockers on the right side. Head back to the part of the hallway with the red light spinning. A room will be opened. Grab a coin and a fancy new gun.
Continue down the hallway. Deviate a bit, then take the stairs up into the room with the window to grab bullet armor. Make a right past the hallway with another spinning red light. Head up the stairs to grab more armor, then drop down to enter the doors.
It’s pretty much an arena in here as enemies spawn from the sliding doors. Use your new found gun to lay down some fire. The doors on the right where some of the enemies spawn will be filled with health and guns. Use this room as a choke point.
Once the flames start appearing in front of the doors, head out to fight Darian. He’ll be up above on a crane. There will also be a blue barrier that you’ll need to jump over as you fire up at the crane. Keep firing until his health goes down, then enter the room once again.
You’ll notice that spikes will come up from the ground. When those go away, fireballs will move across the room and Darian can now fire rockets. Duck in and out of the room as you fire upon the crane to chip away at the second health bar. Once it’s down, Darian will crash and crawl out.
From here, strafe around him and keep firing as his health chips away. If you need to duck inside the rooms to grab more health, do so, then continue firing. Soon, Darian will run into a little malfunction, giving you an advantage.
Into the Castle
Before moving through the arch-way inside the castle, look to your left, up the stairs, to grab a rocket launcher. Once outside, the game looks a little bit more colorful. Use the rocket launcher, taking out baddies as you pass by the stone triad decoration.

Now head back inside. Stay on the first floor to open the gold door. Grab the coins in the next room that looks like a wine cellar without the wine. When you head up, the doors will bust open. You’ll have to deal with Big John. Use the sides of the room for cover and lay fire on him.
Enter the room where Big John came out from, then take the stairs on the left past the fire. Explore the room by jumping onto the second floor to grab coins.
