Ice Pyramids Guide

The mnemonic I use for the statues is as follows: "those bad oats."  This is a particularly poor choice, because in this case, "bad" is actually misspelled as "baod" - but it stuck and worked for me.

===== Pyramid 1 =====
Pyramid 1 is relatively simple once you have the hang of it.  The gimmick is doors which have a password to operate.  The passwords are as follows:
Red: ABCB
Blue: BAAC
Black: ACAAAC
White: CACCCA (you should never need to use the white door)

Beginners should start by running left, then snagging the hound first.  Once you're comfortable with infinite jumping, run right instead and pick up the angel, then IJ to get the hound before carrying on.

The mnemonic word for this pyramid is "THOSe":
Turtle
Hound
Owl
Sparrow
(angel)

===== Pyramid 2 =====
Pyramid 2's gimmick is hidden doors.  The maps have door pairs numbered; go through the whole hidden door maze before cleaning up on the left side, since picking up the Owl will naturally lead you to the statue room.

The mnemonic word for this pyramid is "BA(O)D":
Bird
Angel
Owl
Dog
(turtle)

===== Pyramid 3 =====
No map for this one; it's simple.  The gimmick here is ice you can't change direction or jump off of.  Start by going far right, then return to the far left door, and complete it normally.
Go to the right from the door, and enter the second challenge room from the bottom - the chest can be reached with a simple IJ.
Continue to the right, and enter the first door on the next floor to complete it normally.  An IJ can save time here to avoid going up and around for the chest.  The slippery surface following the chest can be cheesed in most cases by jumping at non-max speed to slip and fall.  The shield enemy's AI is bugged such that in most cases he'll simply walk backwards off the edge.
From the exit, go left for the final room.  Go up the elevator and kill an Anubis for the final chest.

The mnemonic word for this pyramid is "OATS":
Owl
Angel
Turtle
Sparrow
(dog)
