It was clear that it was the source of the anomaly, as it seems to have been altered by Mental for his own purposes.

However, before Sam could figure out what was going on, the Subterranean Hydra Emperor bursts through the parts of the floor. What he found was a very, very large room underneath. Much like in Ancient Rome, Sam forged a path to the old pagoda, traveling through castles and a village along the way. Sam then found out that there was another Time-Lock in an old pagoda, which was also the source of the time anomaly that NETRICSA detected when Sam first warped to Ancient China. Sam travels through some of China's countryside and enters some old buildings located in the area. These “anomalies” soon turn out to be more of Mental's forces, most likely left by the Evil Clone. Again, there appears to be strange anomalies in this time era. However, the Evil Clone escapes into another time period.Īfter defeating the Diablotaur Sam is warped to Ancient China via the Time-Lock. Sam defeats the creature, which also shuts down the time anomaly noted at the start of the game. Finally, he brings out his big guns, a gigantic creature named the Diablotaur. However, the Evil Clone is more prepared this time, and sends out stronger monsters at Sam. After a rather nasty trip through the sewers, Sam is finally back to where he started. After being tricked into giving some of his money to a stand made by the Evil Clone and seeing the large amount of enemy forces that are in the Colosseum, Sam decides to sneak into it via the sewers. He carves a path through the enemy forces until he manages to reach the Colosseum again. Sam, still determined to figure out what's going on, fights through the Roman countryside and ends up in Rome. After appearing and clearing out some of the Evil Clone's forces, a glitch in the Time-Lock warps Sam far away from the Colosseum. Sam teleports into the Colosseum in Ancient Rome. It's determined that Sam should enter a Time-Lock and investigate the anomaly himself. Soon afterwards Sam and a scientist investigate an unusual time anomaly in a lab. However, a short while after Mental leaves, the Clone decided to jump into the Time-Lock. The game starts out with Mental talking to an Evil Serious Sam Clone and telling him not to do anything bad nor get into Mental's Time-Lock while he's gone. The two multi-player modes consist of a deathmatch mode and a cooperative gameplay version of the story mode. The single-player story mode sends the player through 6 historical settings to face huge waves of monsters. Next Encounter is a first-person shooter with both single and multi-player modes.
