The Sanctuary of the Dead is the first level (slot zero) of Catacomb Apocalypse (1993). It is set in a brown brick and hedge garden adorned with depictions of Nemesis' wearing Egyptian Pharaoh-style headdress.

Walkthrough[edit]

"The first level of Apocalypse has an outdoor garden-like theme with a few strange elements. The enemies here are gremlins and black spectres. And this shows what this is all about: Two shooting enemies types in the first level - the last part of the trilogy is FAR harder than the previous two were. You'll actually need your healing potions this time - at least if you're playing the warrior skill. There's also another thing new to this part of the trilogy: Fake walls (they are textured but non-blocking)."

Trivia[edit]

  • A sanctuary, in its original meaning, is a sacred place, such as a shrine. By the use of such places as a haven, by extension the term has come to be used for any place of safety. This secondary use can be categorized into human sanctuary, a safe place for humans, such as a political sanctuary; and non-human sanctuary, such as an animal or plant sanctuary.
