Kingdom - Final Pickups and Boss Fight
"Victory Over the Bourgeoisie" Achievement/Trophy
When you're ready to finish the level, continue over the rocky hill, past where you shot the last leopard, into the room with the wall of ladders. Climb to the top.
In the middle of this wide ledge is a receptacle for the MASK OF TORNARSUK. If you want all pickups, wait to use the mask. First, approach the double doors on the right.
They open so you can enter the room beyond. There's a switch on the far side of the gap, but you can't reach it yet.
Climb down the ladder into the pit.
Walk through the spikes and take the large medi pack (50) in the alcove on the right.
Then climb back out.
IMPORTANT: Using the MASK OF TORNARSUK starts the FINAL BOSS FIGHT. There are several possible approaches, depending on whether you want all items/achievements/trophies. So, you may want to skim the main walkthrough before setting things in motion. Here, we'll go after all pickups and the "Victory Over the Bourgeoisie" achievement/trophy, which requires you to "fight the Guardian of the Kingdom by staying with him on the other side of the bridge with no way back."
Save the game. Then set the MASK in its receptacle.
When you do, the doors on the right close, the stone-and-gold structure behind you transforms into a long ramp, and the GUARDIAN (25) emerges at the top.
As soon as you've placed the mask in its receptacle, press Look to get camera control back. Then roll and move to either side of the base of the long, golden ramp.
As the GUARDIAN comes stomping down, get ready to run. When it reaches the bottom, jump past it onto the ramp and head for the top.
Use running jumps to cover the distance faster.
When you reach the room at the top, run around behind the golden face panel...
...to find the last 2 items: grenades and a large medi pack (51-52), as well as a switch. It's possible to pick up both items then use the switch in one pass, but you'll probably take some damage from the GUARDIAN's pummeling. Heal as needed.
- OR -
Instead, pick up the grenades, run out and around the gold panel...
...then back inside...
...for the health pack. The GUARDIAN follows closely, but at least he's not right on top of you. Once you have the health pack, run around the partition again...
...
...then use the switch.
This re-opens the double doors to the right of the mask receptacle and extends a bridge across the spike pit in the next room.
Run/jump back down the ramp...
...into the room on the right...
...and across the bridge.
Now, if you want the "Victory Over the Bourgeoisie" achievement/trophy, you'll need to trap the GUARDIAN on this side of the gap before killing it. Stand near the switch and wait for it to approach. (Maybe save in a new slot if things are going well.)
As soon as the GUARDIAN clears the gap, pull the switch to retract the bridge. Jump out of the way.
Then, quick as you can, climb/jump onto the switch block...
...and move back against the wall, where it's harder for the GUARDIAN to reach you.
Fire away until the GUARDIAN falls, the achievement/trophy pops, and the level ends.
NOTE: Again, if you're struggling, there are several tips and alternatives in the main walkthrough.
DARK MODE: I plan to add optional dark mode for these pages, but my current priority is updating the walkthroughs. Meanwhile, may I suggest a reputable dark mode browser extension, such as Dark Reader? (Download only from trusted sites, like darkreader.org or your browser's official add-on/extension site.)
