PrinceWatercress plays Gex 3: Deep Cover Gecko - Part 7 of 32


In this episode, we take on the Egyptian tomb level. Prepare for the difficulty to ramp up just a little bit.


1:05 - The cutscene for "Recover the 3 Staffs of Ra."

1:18 - Turn back and go left for a phone booth with two flycoins. If you go in the other direction, you'll get a bonus coin.

1:55 - Tail whip the King Tut statue here for two hidden fly coins. Also, you can hit the hot dog stand here three times for six fly coins.

2:22 - Another bonus coin already! Tail whip the locust to get rid of it, then get on the platform for the bonus coin. At the top is an Anubis, and if you defeat it, you'll be able to break one of the three Lost Arks in the stage and activate a bridge. Don't forget the pawprint coin that's here!

3:00 - The wall panels with the gecko feet can be climbed on just by jumping into them and then using the Control Pad. Watch out for the rotating fire jets.

3:56 - The gecko paw platforms tilt a little bit when you move around on them. Use them to get across the quicksand. If you fall into the quicksand, you'll slowly sink unless you keep jumping.

4:42 - Wait for the mummy to stop moving, then get in close and hit it to get the first Staff of Ra.

5:57 - Tail whip the snake pots for three fly coins.

7:35 - Beyond the bridge. Wait for the rotating fire jets pass by before long jumping over the pits.

7:59 - Our first checkpoint. Tail whip this to start back here when you die. The red bug TV gives you the ability to shoot fireballs for 20 seconds. Use it to destroy the giant spider by pressing Triangle to aim in first person view and spitting with Circle. After the spider is destroyed, you'll get some platforms as well as some more places to go and another pawprint coin.

8:51 - The Staff room.

9:13 - Jump or move onto the camel to ride it. Use the Control Pad to move across the quicksand without sinking, and press Circle to dismount.

10:14 - You'll find another pawprint coin if you go left at the start here. The rotating discs can be used to get to other places where you can climb.

10:51 - Upon coming here, there are three pawprint coins you can get. One is at the top, the second to the right (be sure to line yourself up with first-person mode), and the third is right after that. Keep climbing upwards to get the third remote.

15:08 - Back to the Staff room. Here, you'll have more climbing. You'll find a pawprint coin as well as your second mummy and Staff of Ra. To the right of that is the third and last bonus coin.

17:40 - The second Anubis, a second Lost Ark and another pawprint coin.

20:05 - Beyond the second Ark, there is a hole that leads here. Stay away from the chomping Tut heads so you don't get hurt by them.

20:33 - There is a jagged hole in the wall leading to the third mummy and Staff of Ra. There is also yet another pawprint coin in this room. With all three staves, you can open a path to a remote.

21:05 - Tail whip the Port-O'Throne for two more flycoins.

21:20 - The third Anubis and Lost Ark. Well, we've found the remote for that. I grab it just to be safe.

23:49 - The Agent Xtra cutscene for Holy Moses!/Tut TV.
