I can't see a thing

This alert appears at the bottom of the screen and signifies that the level will be very dark. There will be a torch laying on the ground at the entrance tunnel where the level begins. It is highly recommended that the player carries this torch, as they can use it to light up other, stationary torches scattered all over the level. The player only emits a very small field of light around them.

This is one of the most hazardous world permutations, as it is very difficult to see enemies and traps. Some traps such as, Arrow Traps and Tiki Traps will be lit up, but Spikes will not. If you drop your torch in water it will go out. However, it can be relit if you can find a lit stationary torch.

World 1: The Mines, World 2: The Jungle, and World 4: The Temple have the potential to enact this level permutation.
