Behind the Scenes - The Canyons

article by Ben Lincoln

 

The main unreachable area of The Canyons is the Seer's house. On her floor are the weapons used by the Sarafan Lord and his minions in the cinematic at the conclusion of the level. They can be picked up, but are just props - the crossbows cannot be fired, and the Soul Reaver has none of the special abilities of the one from the Bonus Mode.

The ladder between the living room and the loft is unclimbable, so getting up to it requires a separate hacked savegame or (on the PS2) the super high-jump cheat device code (Codes (Playstation 2 Cheat Device)).

It is also possible to get into the Seer's house without any sort of cheating, but it requires some tricky jumping. One of the rocks near the edge of the cliff has an invisible ledge sticking out of it. If you can get on that ledge, from it you can super-jump to the top of the Seer's well, and from there to her roof. There are screenshots of the steps at the end of this article.

There is at least one lonely platform outside the normal playable section of this level. It has a few weapons lying on it.
