The Lost City of Tinnos
Items: 38
Kills: 90
You have finally discovered what RX-Tech has been digging for, The Lost City of Tinnos.
Sights to See
Tucked away deep beneath several thousand feet of ice and rock, you will find a city which was constructed by a people who were related to the Polynesians. The statues you'll find in Tinnos bear a distinct resemblance to the statues found on Easter Island. This tribe of people settled here when once the continent of Antartica was a tropical paradise rather than a frozen wasteland.

The original settlers of this city were amazing builders. They constructed a temple dedicated to the elements of earth, wind, water and fire and a long bridge leading to it. Not only did the people have an extremely sound grasp of engineering principles, but they also knew about ecology, which can be seen in the pictographs that they painted.
Local Fauna
You will encounter two creatures in your visit to the lost city. The first is a giant wasp-like insect. These stingers have nests in the city, and the nests contain innumerable number of these insects. The other creature is a large scary beast. The disposal of these creatures would be a good use for all that ammunition that you've been hoarding up.
Souvenirs
In the process of making your way through the city, you will need to retrieve two keys, and four Polynesian masks, though not in that order.
Hidden Treasures
There are three well hidden secrets in this level. The path to the first secret is invisible. The location of the second secret is obvious, but the means to reach it is not. The third secret is actually revealed to you, but you will need to rush over an obstacle course in order to obtain it.
Hazards
Early in the level, your greatest danger will be falling from a great height to your death. Later in the level, each elemental room will hold its own dangers. The threat of enemies is fairly minimal, as the stingers are easy enough to kill and the beasts are extremely rare.
