Level 3: At end of level is elevator with zombies, after kill ALL elevator's zombies Red Crystal appear on screen.
Level 4: The Blue Crystal is hidden in a statuette on a pillar (the statuette resembles the level 2 famous head with the horns).
Level 5: The Green Crystal is obtained at the end of the level by killing the 2-heads monster.

To fight the final boss, the Crystal Codes seen on level 2 should be inserted: Red, Green, Blue - if not it is assured death.
