Luxor 3: Gates of the Underworld

I think Set is hiding here...

The balls will appear from the top then took a diagonal turn later take another turn then reaching the column upwards later turn horizontal zigzags along its path. When they do the last zigzag, they will created a sharp turn on the ropes and finally reaching the pyramid.

If you really want use the fireball or the colour cloud, be careful where you are aiming. The speed shot possibly helpful, maybe to target against the top rows. The lightning bolt will be helpful against the starting columns! The slow and reverse might needed when just in case. The net would be helpful since there are two paths. Take note that the scorpion targets the lines which are nearest to the pyramid. It could be a little confusing when targeting the balls from the top, so the match highlighter is needed. The sandstorm could be handy because there are many horizontal tracks!

Recommended powerups: fireball, speed shot, lightning bolt, slow, wild ball, reverse, net, colour bomb, scorpion, colour cloud, colour replacer, pyramid blocker, match highlighter, colour sort, sandstorm

Final question, but this time, it's not a choosing question, it's guessing that riddle:

Luxor 3: Set crosses the Nile

This is the last River Crossing level in Adventure!

The lines at the lowest part of the water are the slowest and the longest. The lines at the middle were moderately fast. The lines at the top are the fastest and the shortest. To clear the black bug, take out the purple ball at the middle later take out the white, then purple, then yellow, then green, then blue and finally red. If you are lucky, you will receive a white colour bomb, which will take out the purple balls, later use the reverse take out the rest. This will take two fireballs to clear and entire line, but if you use the white colour bomb, you will probably take about one or two fireballs to clear the remaining.

That's it! You've completed Crossing the Nile levels!

Luxor 3: Season Finale

Well folks, I'd give the tips for each level, understanding each Survival and Onslaught, identifying what powerups in a colour, what to do on higher difficulty levels, understanding the tactics of powerups, learning what to hit which colour on the third match and guiding some challenges. I'm planning puzzle and the River Crossing walkthroughs, coming soon.

I'd guide the story, showing the Ancient Egyptian religion (not sure), and understanding the functions of the bugs (sort of). The quest continues so I'm giving more walkthroughs.

But now, here's come the final stage of all, and the last part of the game...

Luxor 3: Survival 10

Title: Guardian of Sehkmet
Setting: Sekhmet's Armoury
Time: 4 minutes

This is the last survival level! Use the reverse, scorpion, pyramid blocker, colour sort or sandstorm if you are in extreme trouble! There will be less colour grouping! And the balls will be faster! Collect all the canopic jars to unlock a bonus!
The bonus starts at 57 seconds.
Why Sekhmet's symbol is a flame?
The progress of the pyramid is nearly complete. This post featured the last survival level, but it's not the end of the game yet! Because there's more to come!

Luxor 3: Behind the Curtains

Yup, now that's a two-track level...

The lines appear from the upper center then turn to the direction the gate is directing. The lines go diagonally upward then perform two horizontal tracks, then go through the diagonals near the center, then go through the diagonals far from the center, then perform a triangular track and finally turn horizontally and reaching the pyramids at the center

If you aimed the fireball and the colour cloud right, you will probably clear or turn the entire line. The speed shot is gradually important because of the diagonal tracks, which is fairly difficult to fit in. The lightning bolt is extremely handy against the starting column! Just in case you might need the slow, stop and reverse. Wild ball is pretty handy in here. If you are trying to finish the next line after killing the previous bug, use the net. Since the lines can be short, the colour bomb or the colour replacer can be handy, as well as the scorpion (upgrade it to the max level). Because of two tracks you might need to use the sandstorm.

Generally speaking, if you don't use the colour sort continuously, you might find yourself that the pyramids on the curtains will be corrupt by the bugs!

Recommended powerups: fireball, speed shot, lightning bolt, slow, wild ball, stop, reverse, net, colour bomb, scorpion, colour cloud, colour replacer, colour sort, sandstorm

Luxor 3: Defender of Sekhmet

I think this will be the last Onslaught level in Adventure. The orange has the sandstorm and it it great against horizontal tracks. If you want to use the sandstorm, make sure that the balls are completely horizontally. Try destroy the deadly statues which are blocking the falcons way, which also makes lines less horizontally. Finish this level and you're done for Onslaughts!

The bonus starts at 54 seconds.
The scales represents justice.

Luxor 3: Royal Catch

Wow, it's look like that the fishermen had a great catch today!

Seriously, I'll tell you the scariest part: three into one, THERE ARE 3 LINES FROM THE START!!! But don't worry, the lines will take turns (notice the gates), and there is one pyramid.The first line comes out from the top-right then turn to the right and took the long track; the second line comes out from the lower top-right, which is longer and took the short track; the third lines comes from the center-right, moves a long horizontal track and turns at the leftmost part and turn. Three of them will take a short horizontal track then turn diagonally to the top-left then turn right then turn to the bottom-right and turn to the left horizontally and reaching the pyramid.

Fireballs and colour clouds should be targeted carefully when aiming at sharp curves. The speed shot can be useful when aiming at the top lines. No way the lightning bolt will help: the vertical lines are facing diagonally! The slow, stop and reverse could be useful there. The net is required since things might be weird when you are trying to get the next line stopped after you kill that bug. The sandstorm is highly recommended because it's very strong against horizontal tracks!

Did you notice the Eye of Horus on the fishes?

Recommended powerups: fireball, speed shot, slow, wild ball, stop, reverse, net, colour bomb, scorpion, colour cloud, colour replacer, colour sort, sandstorm

Luxor 3: Defender of Anubis

Now another Onslaught? This is getting ridiculous. The black has the pyramid blocker and the match highlighter. If the lines are getting too close to the pyramid, the pyramid blocker will get rid of the incoming balls for a limited amount and a bomb will explode when the defense is out. So make sure that the deadly statues aren't blocking your way!

Luxor 3: Sekhmet crosses the Nile

Another colour already? I'm waiting for a challenge.

You think four lines appearing in this level could be hard, but the strategy is easy. Use the reverse then clear out the black bug. You can also continuously using purple as the third match and use some colour bombs. It's easy, so I don't need to explain much!

Luxor 3: Survival 8

Title: Guardian of Thoth
Setting: Scribblings of the Scribe
Time: 4 minutes

Survival time! Be warned that when the maximum of nine colours of each line, there will be less colour grouping (that also happens in Endless), so it's strongly recommended that you use the colour sort! Don't forget to collect the canopic jars, continuously using the colour sort (use the teal as the third last match of each line) and don't make me angry!
The bonus starts at 51 seconds.
An ibis head, which represents Thoth.
Question 9:
A death deity in Ancient Egypt who weighed the spirits of the people before choosing the realm they should be. He is
A. Anubis
B. Hermes
C. Nephthys
D. Osiris

Answer coming soon!

Luxor 3: Anubis crosses the Nile

Whoa, those colours carried by that black bug aren't in order!

My suggestion is to use colour bombs of four different colours and finish the remaining colour. Another strategy is to take out the four colours between the two same colours by using wild balls, then use two wild balls to clear the line. It took about five wild balls to clear that line. Use the fireball if you want to clear the line instantly. I hope this will help you!

Luxor 3: Lotus Bloom

In Ancient Egypt, the lotus in hieroglyphs means 1000. The lotus is sacred in Ancient Egypt because it is sacred to an Ancient Egyptian god.

Okay, not enough information yet, we need to discus this map. The bugs appear from the top then move cursively then turned to another direction (notice some part cannot be seen during turning), and going to one of the pyramids indicated by the gate by going vertical then turn horizontal then turn down and do a small curve and finally reaching the pyramid by going horizontally and take a small turn.

Can be a little difficult I guess. The fireball and the colour cloud can be handy against curves. It's squiggly at the top so you need the speed shot. Since the track is short, you need the pyramid blocker. The sandstorm might be useful against the horizontal tracks and the squiggly part at the top.

Can't they use a real flower instead a lotus on the wall?

Recommended powerups: fireball, speed shot, slow, wild ball, reverse, net, colour bomb, scorpion, colour cloud, pyramid blocker, colour sort, sandstorm

Luxor 3: Defender of Thoth

Yep, another Onslaught. The teal has the colour sort and the colour sort is the handiest among all powerups (I guess). Perhaps try use that in some Onslaught levels, although the lines are short. Handy or not, I need to test it out!

Luxor 3: Thoth crosses the Nile

Well another colour is added and it's purple. It has the colour bomb, and it's not possible for the scorpion to appear, I mean, where is the pyramid? The bugs at the middle and the bottom will come from the right while the top come from the left. One strategy is using the reverse, then eliminating the red ball at the middle of the highest line. Then follow the order to eliminate the entire line. Another strategy is to use the red colour bomb, then use the same strategy, or continuosly getting the colour bombs (don't collect the purple one until the purple is the only colour left on the line!) You can use a fireball to finish the line instantly if you want to. Have fun!
