The Monastery
St. Francis' Folley At the start of this level, notice that Lara's already got her guns out. Run forward a bit to give Lara some dodging room and take out the two lions (1, 2) that are charging her. Don't use the shotgun against these two lions. It takes more than one shotgun blast to kill each one, and both lions will maul Lara before she can get off the second shot. After dispatching the two lions run forward and to the right to the grey block. Pull it once onto the omega symbol, then push it twice so that it is on top of the second omega symbol, then push it one more time, because Lara will need it to be there later. Head toward the door that the block opened when Lara pushed it onto the second symbol. Ready a weapon before Lara enters the room. There will be a gorilla (3, 4) on top of each platform. After Lara kills both of them, head up the stairs on the right and throw the switch to open the door Lara came in from, then head down to the switch in the middle of the room. Throw the switch and immediately hit reverse and ready a weapon. Another gorilla (5) will mysteriously appear on the platform to Lara's right. With Lara's guns still out, be prepared for a gun fight with Pierre, who is running around outside. Walk to the doorway and wait for Pierre to run past her. Lara may need to hop out and then hop back into the room to get him to show himself. Using the pistols, wait until he runs by, and press the fire key and don't let go. Step back into the room and wait as he runs back and forth between the pillars. Lara will take a couple of shots at him each time he goes by. Sooner or later he'll eat enough lead and run away. When he's gone, head back to the grey block and climb on top of it. Face the yellow pillar, and do a standing jump and grab to have Lara pull herself onto it1. SECRET #1 Turn left and take a running jump and grab to get to the next pillar. Aim Lara at the platform to her left2 and take a running jump to land on the platform and enter the little room. Step so Lara is just barely inside the little room, and turn to face the sloped floor on her left. Step back until Lara's back is against the sloped platform. Do a standing jump forward onto the sloped floor, then press jump to back flip off of the slope, then press jump again to jump off the sloped platform, then grab and have Lara pull herself up to the next ledge. Turn and face left and back up against the sloped platform. Do a standing jump forward onto the first slope, press jump to back flip off of it, and then press jump again to bounce off of the next slope, then grab and get her to pull herself up to SECRET #1. Grab the shotgun shells (1) and the large Medi Pack (2) being careful not to fall down the broken floor tile. Then have Lara safety drop her way back down to the floor of this room. Exit the room, and do a running jump off the ledge back to the pillar. Turn right and walk to the edge and do a standing jump back to the first pillar. Walk forward to the edge of this pillar and do a standing jump and grab to have Lara pull herself onto the next pillar. Get the large Medi Pack (3). Aim Lara at the ledge ahead and to the left, and do a running jump to reach it. Do two more running jumps to cross the to the last little ledge in the corner, and one standing jump to get to the door, which should be open. Enter the door, and head to the end of the passage where it ends at a ramp down that slides down into darkness. SECRET #2 This would be a good place to save the game3, because it may take a few tries to get this right. Face away from the ramp and slide down backwards. Press the action key as Lara slide to grab onto the bottom of the ramp. Release and slide down the next ramp. A little before Lara falls off the small ramp, press jump. Lara will land in a doorway across from the ramp, which is SECRET #2. Grab the shotgun shells (4) and the small Medi Pack (5). Return to the doorway Lara came in from, and from the doorway, she can kill the crocodile (6) below. SECRET #3 After it's dead, drop into the water, and swim away from the gate. Just ahead is an opening in the ceiling of the underwater tunnel. Surface into SECRET #3 and grab another shotgun shell (6). Jump back into the water and continue to swim forward. Surface in a larger room, and pull out of the water. Cross the room and pull the lever on the wall to drain the room below. If Lara hasn't already killed the crocodile (6), that is in the tunnel below, then hang from the edge of the platform to lure it out and kill it now. With the tunnel drained, safety drop down to the floor. Run back down the tunnel, to a set of stairs to Lara's right. Run up the stairs until Lara reaches a platform. Thor Door Do a running jump and kill three bats (7, 8, 9). Walk over to the other side and drop down and throw the first switch to open the Thor door. SECRET #4 Now would be a good time to save the game3. Make sure Lara's health is at full, the perform the following steps exactly as described. It is important to make sure Lara's health is at full before attempting to get at this secret room, because Lara will lose half of her health getting to it. Turn and face the gray pressure plate to Lara's right. Walk to the edge, hop back and perform a running jump onto the plate. Turn immediately to the right and take a short run, then press reverse and grab Lara should end up hanging from that platform. Immediately release, fall down and take some damage, take one hop back, then a back flip down to the next level while drawing pistols in mid-flight. Run forward and kill two bats (10, 11), then run off the edge, fall down and take more damage. Without hesitation, continue running forward. If Lara did not hesitate in performing the above steps she should be able just get into the closing door to SECRET #4 before it closes. Lara may need to run toward the right side of the door way and take a jump if the door is closing in her face. Enter, and pick up some magnum clips (7) and a large Medi Pack (8). The door should automatically open for Lara as she approaches it to exit the room. Atlas Door Run around to the far side of the far pillar, where there is a switch. Throw the switch to open the Atlas door. Turn around and climb up onto the platform, then have Lara pull herself up to the next platform. Head forward until Lara reaches the corner. Ready the pistols, and do a standing jump diagonally across to the next platform, shoot the bat (12), and pick up more magnum clips (9). Confident players can ready the pistols, and do a back flip onto that platform to save themselves the reverse. Neptune Door Jump back to the previous platform and then head back to the middle of the long ledge. Turn to face the center structure, and perform a running jump and grab to return to the center structure. On the other side of the pillar to Lara's left is another switch. Throw the switch to open the Neptune door. Turn around and walk away from the switch and towards the corner. Perform a standing jump across to the platform on the other side. Walk up to the Damocles door, and jump and have Lara pull herself up, and collect the large Medi Pack (10) there. Drop back down and walk up the stairs away from the Damocles door. Turn and walk to the right edge and face the central structure. Do a standing jump and grab to have her pull herself onto the platform. Walk forward to the end of this platform. Turn right and walk to the edge. Ready the pistols and do a running jump from the central platform across to the ledge. When Lara lands on the ledge immediately reverse because Lara is on this ledge for the express purpose of waking up two bats (13, 14) and shooting them. Do a running jump back to the central structure, and walk forward to the corner. Turn right and do a standing jump and grab to have her pull herself onto the next ledge. Turn right and have Lara boost herself up to the next ledge. Draw the pistols, and kill the two bats (15, 16) Lara just woke up. Then turn right and face the central structure, and perform a standing jump to return to the central structure. Damocles Door Walk forward, and get Lara to boost herself up the center platform, then carefully drop down the other side to a small platform with a switch. Draw the pistols, and look around for a bat (17) that just woke up. Kill it, then throw the switch to open the Damocles door. Turn and face left, and do a running jump over to the ledge and get the small Medi Pack (11), then do a running jump back to the ledge with the switch. Have Lara boost herself up onto the central platform, then climb up to the next level of the central platform. Draw the pistols, and look around for two bats (18, 19), and kill them. Diagonally away from the Thor switch, walk to the corner and do a running jump to the ledge that leads up some stairs on Lara's right. When Lara lands on the ledge, immediately draw the pistols, and kill one bat (20) that just woke up. Run up the stairs, and walk to the end of the ledge. Do a running jump onto the top of the central structure, Walk around to the other side, then do a running jump onto the platform that leads to the Neptune door. Neptune Key Enter the Neptune room and notice the deep pool in the middle. Time here is of the essence, because of how deep the pool is. Dive into the pool, and swim to the bottom. Once there, Lara will notice a gate on one side, swim toward it, but upward to a opening and a lever. Throw the lever which opens the gate, then grab the Neptune key (12), and immediately head for the surface. Lara should just have enough to do this. Exit the Neptune room. Atlas Key At this point, Pierre returns with some pets and is running around on the ground. Avoid standing near the outside edge of any platforms or ledges because Pierre will take pot shots at Lara. Do a running jump back onto the central structure, then drop down to the platform with the Thor switch. Then drop down the center hole and ready a weapon. Run into the Atlas door, and kill the gorilla (21) inside. A shotgun blast or two may be the fastest way to deal with it. Stand on the pressure plate with the omega on it to open the gate. Run inside and the gate will drop shut. Drop into the hole on Lara's left and grab the small Medi Pack (13). Climb back out of the pit, then tap the forward key eight times. Lara will take eight hops forward. On the eighth hop, the boulder at the top of the slope will begin to roll. Perform two back flips, then take a hop back to drop back into the pit. Immediately run forward so that Lara is pressed up against wall in front of her and the boulder will roll and sail over her head. Climb out of the pit, run forward and have her pull herself up to the ledge on her left. Get Lara to pull herself up to the next ledge, and run to the end and grab the Atlas key (14). Do a safety drop back down to the ramp, and exit the Atlas room. Run across the bridge back to the central platform, and turn left and drop down to the ledge below. Walk around the platform and enter the Thor door. Thor Key Walk into the Thor room and at some point Lara will be on a low platform, and lightening will begin to strike the metal plates on the floor. Turn right, walk until Lara is against the wall, the turn left and walk forward until Lara is a few steps short of the metal plate. Do a swan dive roll5 maneuver over the metal plate, and run out of the lightening room. Run ahead and stand on the omega symbol. Lara will begin to hear a creaking noise. As soon as Lara hears a snap, hop back and Thor's hammer will crash down on the spot Lara was standing on. Don't move yet. Wait until a few large blocks fall from the ceiling, and then run over to the block on ground next to the hammer. Push it three times until it is on against the wall, and climb on top of it, and then on to the ledge. Run over to the next block and pull it three times. Climb onto it, then turn around and do a standing jump and grab to have her pull herself up onto the high pillar. Grab the small Medi Pack (15) there. Turn to the left, do a running jump and grab to get to the next ledge. Enter the tunnel and grab the Thor key (16). Do a running jump and grab to get back to the pillar, and then a safety drop down to the ledge. Drop back down to the floor of the Thor room, and return to the lightening room. Do not walk past the pillars, instead, use a swan dive roll maneuver to get back to the other side of the room. Exit the Thor room. Run back across the central bridge, and drop down the hole on Lara's left down to the lower platform on the central structure. Walk over to the corner facing the Damocles room, and then jump across. Don't waste any time because if Pierre spots Lara, he'll start firing. Once Lara is across, run right up against the wall that is to the left of the Damocles door. Ready the pistols, because it's time to take care of those two cougars (22, 23) and scare off Pierre. With Lara's back against that wall, wait patiently for Pierre or one of the two cougars to show themselves. Preferably, lock onto Pierre first, and shoot him enough times to convince him to go away, then walk to the edge of that platform and take out the two cougars. After the the two cougars are dead, enter the Damocles room. Damocles Key Don't worry about the hanging swords. Just run all the way through the room and stand on the omega symbol in the back to open the door. Enter the room and climb up and grab the Damocles key (17), then have Lara pull herself up on to the platform on top of the pillars, and grab the shotgun shells (18) and the small Medi Pack (19). Now the hard part is exiting the Damocles room. The swords are now slowly rotating, which indicates that they have been activated. As Lara steps through the room, she will hear little snaps as swords fall down to impale her. The trick is to not get skewered, by taking a step forward and immediately hopping back to avoid a sword. The first sword will fall through the ceiling of the doorway and stab down in the middle of the omega symbol, so don't think Lara is safe in the doorway. Repeat the cautious walk until Lara are clear of the Damocles room. Once Lara is clear of the room, do a safety drop down to the floor. Walk over to the locks and use the keys she's collected. If it is not obvious which key to use in which lock, then note that the keys fit in the following order from right to left: First the Thor key, second the Damocles key, third the Atlas key, and finally the Neptune key. With all four keys used, Lara can exit this level.
Colosseum Run through the passage and enter the sandy cave. Before diving in, ready a weapon and take out the crocodile (1) swimming around. Dive in, and swim through a passage to Lara's left and surface in a large cavern with the entrance to the colosseum in front of Lara. There is a lion (2) patrolling the cave, so wait until it is inside the building to have Lara pull herself out of the water. Ready a weapon and take out the first lion. If Lara needs to, she can hop onto a low slanted rock that is to Lara's right as she first enters the cavern. Run to the left and take out a second lion (3). Lara can back flip onto a low rock to shoot at the lion from safety if Lara needs. Run into the entrance and, with Lara's weapons still readied, run up to the second step of the stairs on the left and immediately back flip away and start firing at the lion (4) that is coming at her. Lara should jump her way out of the entry way to give herself some room to dodge, remembering that she can jump into the water when she runs out of room to evade. Now, run over to the left side of the building, and climb onto a ledge that is across from the building. Face the building and take a standing jump across to the ledge that surrounds the building. Have Lara boost herself over the piece of fallen ledge, and run all the way around the building, and grab the large Medi Pack (1) at the end of this ledge. Return to the piece of broken ledge and climb up to the next ledge on the side the building. Run all the way around to the front of the building and make a running jump across another part of the broken ledge, and a diagonal standing jump to the adjacent stone ledge. SECRET #1 Don't drop into the cave on Lara's left, instead slide forward, then walk until Lara is on a flat ledge. Walk forward and to the right until she is in the corner and look ahead, slightly up and to the right and notice a series of stone outcroppings diagonally that lead to a cave. Hop back and take a running jump diagonally to the first stone outcropping, then another running jump into SECRET #1, where Lara can grab some shotgun shells (2). Exit the cave, then run all the way around to the left side of the building, jump over to the first ledge, climb up onto the second ledge, and return to the little cave entrance that Lara avoided earlier. Drop into the cave, and then ready a weapon. Kill the two crocs (5, 6) in the pit and drop into the pit. Grab the small Medi Pack (3) and climb back out of the pit at the little slope. Turn and face left and grab the crevice and shimmy across the pit. SECRET #2 Part way across the pit, the crevice becomes high enough to have Lara pull herself up. Do so, and enter SECRET #2 and grab more shotgun shells (4). Return to the crevice, drop and hang and continue until she is across the pit. Run into the tunnel, and follow the tunnel until Lara comes to a hole. Drop into the hole into the colosseum. She can throw the switch here to open the steel gate that allows access back to the area at the beginning of this level. Run up the stairs, immediately turn left and start climbing up the steps until she gets to the top. Ready the pistols, reverse and start firing at Pierre. Keep shooting until he's gone. From where Lara's standing, he should only be able to hit her once or twice. Drop down to the bottom of the steps and take out the two lions (7, 8) and gorilla (9) on the floor of the colosseum. At this point, it may be a good time to also take care of the two pairs of bats (10, 11, 12, 13) that live in the two square corner rooms on the same side of the colosseum as the entrance Lara came it from. Safety drop down to the floor of the colosseum, and head toward the right corner with the cave in. Ready guns because there is one more lion (14) there. Now keep the guns readied, run over to the left side of the colosseum, where Lara can slide down a ramp. There are two lions at the bottom to kill (15, 16). Then throw the two levers and run through the tunnel back to a pit in the colosseum. Before climbing out of the pit, there will be three lions (17, 18, 19) running around above her. Lara should try to kill at least two of them from inside the pit, so they don't gang up on her. Run around to the cave in area and enter the gate that Lara opened earlier, and slide down to the bottom. As Lara enters, run past the dividing wall on her right and then up to a grey step which is a pressure plate. Step on it to open one of the timed gates ahead and then run into the the room on her right and grab the small Medi Pack (5). Then step on the grey pressure pad to open the gate so that Lara can exit. Return to the first gray pressure pad, and while standing in front of it, reverse onto it, then enter the room on her left, then throw the switch, reverse and, immediately run over the room on the right, enter the tunnel on the right and throw the switch. Lara will have to hustle because all these gates are on timers. Step on the pressure plate to exit the cage. Enter the doorway Lara just opened, avoid the spikes, and start climbing up the rocks until Lara gets to the top. Once Lara is at the top, turn around and head up the rocks instead of out toward the edge. Hidden among the rocks are some shotgun shells (6). Return to the hole that Lara came up from, and walk all the way out to the farthest edge and face the rock slide. Do a running jump onto the slide. When Lara reaches the flat ledge, turn left and face the ledge. Do a running jump and grab to get to the royal spectator booth. Ready a weapon and take out the two gorillas (20, 21) inside. Proceed through the booth and pull the grey block out twice. Behind it is a small Medi Pack (7) and a switch. Throw the switch and return to the ledge. Turn left and walk to the edge facing the rock slide, and do a standing jump back to the slide, then slide to colosseum floor. Climb up out of the colosseum floor to the spectator area via a stone block against the wall near the left side of the colosseum. Enter the corner room through the door Lara just opened. run straight into the tunnel and fall into the pit allowing a boulder to sail over Lara's head. Climb back out of the pit and do a standing jump and grab to get past the pit. Run up the slope and throw the switch at the top. Slide down the ramp backwards and drop into the room below. Ready the pistols because Pierre is back with a lion (22). Alert them of Lara's presence by exiting the corner room via the passage that lets her walk all the way back to the colosseum entrance while staying on the second step. As soon as Lara spots Pierre, start shooting and back flipping or hopping backwards to the safety of the corner room. After Pierre has run away and Lara has killed the lion, run across to the next corner room and enter the door Lara just opened. SECRET #3 & the Magnums The procedure for entering the secret door at the top of this room is little tricky, but is pretty easy with a little practice. The door at the top of this room is on a timer, so everything must be done quickly. Stand to the right of the third or tallest pillar. This will open the door at the top. Then aim Lara at the center of the first block and perform four standing jumps in sequence. First jump forward, then right, the backward, then left, then forward and run into the room, which is SECRET #3. Grab the two large Medi Packs (8, 9), the Uzi clips (10), and the magnums (11). Exit this room and walk out onto the ledge. Turn and face the switch on her left. Do a running jump across to the ledge and throw the switch. Do a running jump back to the long ledge, then walk to the edge facing the next lower ledge. Take a hop back and do a standing jump to get down to that ledge, and repeat to get to the next lower platform. Now she can safety drop to the floor without injury. Exit this room and run to the last corner of the colosseum. Rusty Key Climb up into the doorway Lara just opened, then throw the switch to open the door in the back of the royal booth. Then jump into the water and follow the underwater tunnel until she surfaces in a small room. Grab the small Medi Pack (12) and push the block twice then run around to the right side and pull it once to move it away from the wall. Enter the tunnel and grab the rusty key (13) and then jump back into the water, and return to the colosseum. Ready the pistols and take out a gorilla (23) on the colosseum floor and then run into the opening at the base of the rocks on the right side of the colosseum. Climb up the rocks, walk over to the edge of the rocks where Lara can do her running jump to the rock slide. Then do the running jump and grab to get back to the ledge that leads to the private booth. Run through the first room to the double doors in the back. Enter and grab the small Medi Pack (14). Return back to the ledge of the booth that opens to the colosseum, where there are two more gorillas (24, 25) running around the colosseum floor. Take them out from the ledge and then go back inside where Lara can use the rusty key to open the gate in the booth. Jump in and quickly swim forward, avoiding a crocodile (26) and have Lara pull herself up into a room with a switch. Ready a weapon, kill the croc, throw the switch and jump back into the water. Swim forward until Lara exits this level.
Palace Midas This level begins with Lara in a pool. Turn right and exit the pool. There is a passage that is directly ahead, between two pillars, and one to each side. Ready a weapon, and head forward. Kill the two gorillas (1, 2) in the next room. With guns still ready, run forward into either doorway, but instead of turning and running up the stairs, start back flipping and get some distance between Lara and both the doors ahead as five gorillas (3, 4, 5, 6, 7) will emerge to maul her. Kill the five gorillas by dodging backward, jumping back into the pool Lara arrived from if she run out of moves. The first four will come right out of the doorways, but the fifth one seems to appear from nowhere, so if Lara kills the first four and don't see the fifth, head into one of the doorways and up the stairs to look for it. If it isn't there, turn around, because it will follow her into the room. If Lara's not already in the room, enter it and run up the stairs and grab the large Medi Pack (1). Enter the door that opens automatically, and follow the tunnel until she reach a switch. Throw the switch, which opens the gate to the garden. Exit the tunnel and ready a weapon. Return to the room with the pool Lara entered from and turn right. Run down the stairs and into the garden. Take care of the two gorillas (8, 9) running around in there, so that they don't sneak up on Lara later. Return to the pool and head across to the passage on the other side. As Lara rounds the corner, her weapons should still be readied to kill a croc (10) there. Don't go up the stairs yet, instead turn right and head down the tunnel. With guns still readied, take a right as Lara exits the tunnel and run toward the back corner where there is a little space between the cave wall and the building. Kill the gorilla (11) that is waiting there, then grab the two sets of magnum clips (2, 3) he was guarding. Ready a weapon of choice and exit the passage. As Lara runs along the building, she will pass several open rooms. There are two lions (12, 13) waiting for her in the fourth room, so as soon as she runs past the opening to the fourth room, start back flipping and firing at the two lions. When they are dead, run past the room they were hiding in to the large corridor at the end. Ready the pistols and kill the four bats (14, 15, 16, 17) there. Head down the corridor, and grab the small Medi Pack (4) on Lara's left. Now exit this area, and run back to the stairs that she avoided earlier. Run up the stairs and ready a weapon. There is a left turn at the top of the stairs that opens into a large room. There are three gorillas (18, 19, 20) there that Lara needs to dispatch. Once she does, head toward the back right side of the room. Notice the inscriptions on the doors, then climb onto the pillar in the back. Use a running jump to get to the next pillar, then turn and walk right until she is facing the ledge above the doorway. Do a standing jump and grab and pull up onto the ledge. Turn and walk all the way to the right and do a running jump and grab to get to the ledge above the other doorway. Get the magnum clips (5) and the small Medi Pack (6) on that ledge and to a safety drop down to the ground. Head back to the first pillar, and climb on top of it. Use two running jumps to get across to the next two pillars, then a running jump and grab to get to the fourth. A standing jump will get Lara to the fifth, and a running jump and grab to get to the sixth and last pillar1. Turn right and take a standing jump onto the platform. Door #1 UWWWW Once on the platform, remembering what the inscriptions above the doors looked like, throw the left-most lever. Then drop down the hole in the center of the platform, and throw the switch at the bottom. Exit the platform, and enter the doorway Lara just opened. Welcome to the infamous torch room. This is probably one of the hardest puzzles in the game, so we might as well get it over with now. There is no secret about getting across the torches. First off, walk over and drop down to the platform on Lara's right. Ready the pistols and kill all three rats (21, 22, 23) from here. Make sure Lara kills all three. Not doing so will only add insult to injury. I've heard someone say that it is possible to get across the torch room by just holding down the run key and maneuvering Lara in mid-air to get her across with a series of perfectly planted jumps. Personally, I have not been able to do it and I've tried quite a lot, so here is my technique that will get Lara across without setting her aflame, without taking a lot of damage, and is possibly the easiest, and the most forgiving, way across. Read the following paragraph in its entirety before trying this because Lara only has 10 seconds to get to the other side and she needs to perform all these steps exactly. Note that in reference to the column numbers. the first column is the first torch, so in this description, the room has five torches and five columns respectively. Lead Bar #1 Start by walking over and turn Lara so that she is squarely facing the first torch. Maneuver Lara so that she is two steps behind the dark line that is just in front of the first torch. Side step to the left until Lara is about as far left of the first torch as she can be but is still able to run across the torch without falling off. Run straight forward along the left edge of the first torch. As Lara runs, toward the first torch, press jump so that she takes off just at the middle (in respect to the length but staying on the left side) of the first column where the torch was once burning. The goal is to land Lara on the near left corner of the second column. If Lara lands exactly in the spot described, she can simply turn and aim herself toward the near right corner of the third column. Perform a running jump toward the third column. If Lara has landed on the near right corner of the third column, again Lara should not need to step in any direction in preparation for the next jump. If Lara is not on the correct corner of the second or third columns, simply and calmly hop off of the column and into the water and try again. Aim Lara toward the near left corner of the fourth column and do a running jump. If she lands on the corner, and the torches re-light, don't panic, just quickly turn and squarely face the fifth and last column and do a running jump and grab to grab onto the edge of the fifth column. If however, Lara is on the incorrect place on the fourth column, do not jump off, but rather, face the fifth column and have Lara take a hop backward off the fourth column just as the torches re-light and grab the edge of the fourth column and shimmy all the way to either side of the column. Pull Lara up, and immediately perform the running jump to the fifth and final column. Lara will take a little damage from being close to the flame, but she won't light up like a birthday candle. Lara will jump across to the fifth column, and be just short of it, so grab (and shimmy to the side if Lara has traveled a little to one side during the run/jump) and again, pull up and run forward taking a slight amount of damage from the heat. Congratulations, Lara has just crossed the dreaded torch room. Grab the first lead bar (7), and turn around and dive into the water. Swim back to the ledge on the other side of the room and exit the room. Ready some weapons and kill a gorilla (24) that is running around the floor of the main room. Door #2 WWUUW Return to platform with the five switches via the gate at the bottom that Lara opened earlier. Then raise the lever on the far left and lower the middle lever and the lever that is just right of the middle lever. Exit through the hole in the platform or safety drop to the floor and enter the door Lara just opened. Lara will enter a room with a tall vaulted ceiling being held up by a pillar. Run through the room and head down the stairs. At the bottom of the stairs Lara will find a block that looks suspiciously like the pillar above. Pull it out once to cause the ceiling of the room above to collapse and sand to pour in. Climb up the flight of stairs and continue up the next flight of stairs, and boost up into the window at the top. Turn to face the dark sandy ledge to Lara's right and do a standing jump onto it. Then walk up the slope an do a standing jump diagonally up and to the left onto the next sandy ledge. Next aim Lara at the broken pillar in the center of the room and do a running jump onto it. Then turn and face the small sandy ledge on the other side and do a running jump onto it. Do a standing jump onto the flat ledge to that is on Lara's left. Walk left and face the window and do a standing jump into the window. Enter the next room, turn right and start climbing ledges until Lara gets to the top, where she can exit to a ledge that faces an aqueduct. Draw weapons and kill the two gorillas (25, 26) and two bats (27, 28) that are on top of the aqueduct. Do a running jump over to the top of the aqueduct and then follow the edge to the right where the water enters a cave. Draw weapons if they have been put them away and wait for an opportunity to kill the two crocs (29, 30) that are swimming around. SECRET #1 When the two crocs are dead, dive into the aqueduct and swim into the cave. Inside, turn right, surface, and exit the water. Once Lara is on the flat sandy ledge, turn left, climb the ledge and proceed forward until the ledge is too steep to continue. Do a standing jump over the ledge, then press jump again to hop over the next slope. If Lara misses the second jump, Lara will fall into the water and she'll have to try again. On the other side of the two slopes, turn left and head forward and then down a little slope to SECRET #1. Get the small Medi Pack (8) and the magnum clips (9), then jump back into the water and exit the water back in the main part of the aqueduct. SECRET #2 Walk back to the ledge that Lara came in from and look down. From here she should be able to see a little nook with some objects below. Do a safety drop into SECRET #2 and grab the small Medi Pack (10), shotgun shells (11), and Uzi clips (12). Now ready a weapon and jump up and down in place. When Lara locks onto the gorilla (31), start firing and continue firing until the gorilla is dead. Lara can check by standing next to the edge and using the look key to see if there's a gorilla running around or just a rug lying outside the nook. Take a standing jump out of the little nook. Run forward down the hallway. The first two alcoves on the right open to the large cavern Lara visited before. Continue past them to the fourth alcove on the right, where Lara will find a small Medi Pack (13). Return to the second opening, which is nearest to the ledge outside. Take a standing diagonal jump to the ledge and immediately back flip. If Lara hasn't veered to the side, she should land back in the opening. Ready a weapon to take out a gorilla (32) that will emerge from the second alcove on the left. With weapons still drawn, continue forward until Lara reaches the last alcove. There is a gorilla (33) there as well. After both gorillas are dead, walk back to the second to the last alcove, and look across the chasm across to a crevice in the wall on the other side. Stand opposite the lowest part of the crevice and do a running jump and grab to get to the other side. Once there, have Lara pull herself up and grab the large Medi Pack (14) that is there. Lara may need to shimmy a little to one side to pull herself up. Hop back off the crevice and hang off the ledge and continue to shimmy to the left until she reaches a high ledge, which will be just after hearing the squeak of bats. Immediately let go of the ledge, draw pistols and kill the two bats (34, 35). Do a running jump across to the tunnel on the far right of the building where the bats came out of and follow the tunnel forward and up lots of ramps. At the top of the ramps, boost Lara up a few steps, and then into a large room with some sloping walls and broken floors. Walk over to the left slope that is at the first broken floor and face Lara toward the alcove on the right. Jump to the ledge and grab the large Medi Pack (15) and then jump or run past the rest of the broken floor tiles. Then slide down the ramp, and do a safety drop down the hole at the end. Carefully drop down the next few ledges and ready weapons. As Lara exits the room with the steps, into the room that Lara started this level from, only this time Lara is on the ledge high above the pool, a lion (36) will charge at her from the other side of the room. Lara should be able to kill it long before it makes it all the way around the ledge to her. Lead Bar #2 Follow the ledge all the way around to the other side of the room, being careful not to fall off the ledge. Run into the tunnel and at the end of the tunnel have Lara boost herself up into the window on her left. Walk out of the window onto the ledge which is the top some columns in a room that should be familiar. Then turn left3 and do a running jump across to the top of the other pillar. Enter the room, and turn right to the pool. Ready a weapon, preferably the shotgun, and look into the pool. Kill the croc (37) and then jump in and swim forward. Follow the underwater tunnel, and surface and exit the water at the other side. Run forward to the sandy slope and climb up onto the ledge on the left. Ready pistols, and walk forward and kill the two bats (38, 39). Continue walking until Lara reaches the edge of the window and do a jump onto the roof of the building. Walk over to the other side of the roof and pick up the second lead bar (16), then ready a weapon and kill the two lions (40, 41) patrolling the floor. Do a safety drop down to the floor and exit down the stairs. If the lions ran away when Lara started shooting them, ready weapons as Lara exits the room and hunt them down, or have Lara hang from the edge of the roof and let them come to her. After they're both dead, head forward back to the pool Lara entered this level from, and turn left and head up the stairs and back to the room with the five switches and doors. Door #3 WWUWU Climb back up to the five switches and raise the switch that is just to the right of center, and lower the rightmost switch. Drop down the center of the platform or safety drop of the platform and enter the door Lara just opened. Be sure to start walking as soon as Lara enters the room so as to not get hurt as she goes by the spikes. Once inside the spiked room, go through the doorway on her right and pull the block that is behind the ramp twice. Climb over the block, and drop down the other side. Enter the tunnel hidden behind the block and throw the switch which raises the pillars in the spike room. Lead Bar #3 Exit the tunnel and have Lara boost herself onto the ramp and head upwards. After Lara climbs a flight of stairs, walk until she reach the edge of the window and do a standing jump onto the pillar outside. Turn to the right and do a running jump onto the block in the back corner. Turn left and use running jumps to get across the the next four columns. When she is on the last column facing the window on the other side, walk forward until Lara is at the edge of the column facing the window, then do a standing jump forward and immediately a back flip back onto the column. Ready the pistols and shoot at the gorilla (42) Lara just woke up from the safety of the column. When the gorilla is dead, do a standing jump into the room and grab the third lead bar (17). To exit this room Lara can either repeat the jumps back through the room or do a safety drop out of the little room, being careful not to come down on a spike. Exit the room, and return to the top of the platform with the five switches. Door #4 UWWWU Raise the center switch and lower the left most switch. Drop back down to the floor. Ready a weapon, because Lara might as well take care of this now. Run just into the doorway of the room that Lara just opened, and the start hopping back. As soon as the lion (43) runs out, kill it. Exit this area for now through the large corridor and back down the stairs and then past the room with the pool, down the stairs on the other side and to the garden where Lara killed a gorilla or two earlier. Midas Run past the sundial and get Lara onto the platform on the right. Turn around and face the ledge, and do a standing jump and grab to get onto the roof. Grab the large Medi Pack (18) and enter the tunnel on Lara's right and enter the Midas room. Stand in front of the hand and use the three lead bars and turn them into gold bars. Just for kicks, Lara can jump onto the hand, but be sure to save the game first. After Lara has converted all three bars of lead to gold, exit the Midas room and return to the garden. SECRET #3 Back in the garden room, locate a switch that is against the right wall near the gate and is hidden by the bushes. Throw the switch and enter the gate that Lara just opened, which is SECRET #3, and walk up to the steel jaws. Time a standing jump through the steel jaws and over the broken floor tile. The easiest way to do this is to stand in the middle and jump just as the jaws are starting to open. Scattered within the room are magnum clips (19), a small Medi Pack (20), and shotgun shells (21). Then exit this area the same way Lara came in. Exit the garden room and return to the room with the platform and the five switches. Enter the last doorway, which Lara opened earlier, and climb the stairs all the way to the top and exit onto the fenced-in ledge. Run all the way around the pillar to the front, and grab the shotgun shells (22). Exit the terrace and head half way down the stairs and enter the room with the three alcoves. Use one gold bar in each of the alcoves to open the exit door. Enter the door and slide down the ramp to exit this level.
Cistern Start this level by turning all the way around and doing a drop and hang into the hole below, then climb back up. Ready the pistols, and kill the rat (1) below. Drop down into the hole after it's dead. Then push the block forward twice, and then once to the side so that it is against the wall. Climb onto the block and then throw the switch. Ready pistols and shoot the two rats (2, 3) that just ran into the room. Then step off the block and enter the metal door Lara just opened and get the large Medi Pack (1). Then do a safety drop down into the hole that the switch opened. Walk out onto the bridge and ready the pistols and kill two rats (4, 5) and two crocs (6, 7) below. Turn and face the right, where there is a ledge just past the hand-rails. With guns still drawn, do a running jump onto that ledge and then kill the rat (8) hiding on the bottom of the stairs. Rusty Key #1 Grab the ledge and shimmy to the left until Lara reaches a corner. Release the ledge, grab the shotgun shells (2), and grab the next part of the ledge and continue to shimmy left until Lara can pull herself up. Once Lara is on top of the ledge, turn and face right and have Lara boost herself up onto the upper ledge. Run to the end, and grab the first Rusty Key (3). After Lara has gotten the key, head back to the part of the ledge Lara climbed up from, and then drop down to the lower ledge, head forward a few steps and drop down onto the short bridge below. Walk around the bridge until Lara comes to the column, climb up onto the column and then do a running jump onto the ledge and the doorway to Lara's right. Ready any weapon of choice, preferably magnums or pistols, and run up the stairs. Before Lara enters the room, start to hop or back flip away and get ready to plug Pierre a few times to make him go away. Enter the pipe room, and immediately upon entering turn to the right and head toward the dark block. Climb onto the block and then climb onto the next step. Turn right and jump and pull up into the dark ledge above and grab the small Medi Pack (4). SECRET #1 Turn right and head up the little slope and jump and pull up into the dark passage above, which is SECRET #1. Climb up three more steps, and grab the shotgun shells (5). Walk to the edge, and then slide down the ramp and just before Lara falls off the edge, jump and grab the opposite ledge and pull up. Pick up additional shotgun shells (6, 7). Now sidestep to the right and walk forward until Lara is at the right edge of the little ledge. Turn and aim Lara to the left and jump so that she lands on the leftmost side of the first ramp. Lara will slide down the first two ramps, bump her head, and then press the action key to have her grab the bottom of the last slide, then release to safely land on the ledge below. Lara can also simply drop down and take a little damage when she lands. Turn around and walk toward the raised step that Lara used to pull Lara up to this area and turn and face right. Do a running jump onto the pipe that is halfway across the room, then do a running jump and grab to get to the pipes that are all the way across the room. Pick up the large Medi Pack (8) and the shotgun shells (9). Walk back to where the Medi Pack was, and do a safety drop down to the slope below. Lara will immediately start to slide backwards. Press and hold the action key to grab the bottom edge of the slope, pull up and press jump. Lara will back flip over the open grate below, while still alerting the rats that are in the water. Draw pistols and kill the two rats (9, 10) from above. Rusty Key #2 Now drop into the water and swim into the tunnel and surface quickly at the bottom of some stairs, avoiding a rat (11) swimming around. Pull up and kill the rat, and run up the stairs. At the top of the stairs, turn and race left and do a running jump and grab to get to the opposite ledge. Pull up, run forward, and turn left and then do another running jump and grab to get to the ledge with the key. Pick up the second Rusty Key (10). Draw guns and head forward and kill the two rats (12, 13) below. Hang off the ledge, and shimmy left until the ground is close enough to do a safety drop without taking any damage. Head to the end of the tunnel with the ramp and slide down back to the cistern. SECRET #2 Run forward until Lara reaches the two gargoyles and jump into the pool. Swim forward and to either the left or the right, where there is a small tunnel in the wall of the pool that is opposite the gargoyles. Swim into the 'U' shaped tunnel and into SECRET #2. Grab the magnum clips (11) at the bottom, and swim back out. Exit the pool between the gargoyles and run back up toward the ramp. Go to either side of the ramp and climb up the blocks and back to the flat top part of the ramp. Rusty Door #1 Do a standing jump and grab to get back to the small bridge above the ramp. Then have Lara make her way over or around the column all the way back around to the other side. Pull up to the lower ledge that Lara used to shimmy over to the bridge in the first place, and climb up to the upper ledge where the first rusty key was. Run all the way back to the where the first rusty key was and do a safety drop back down to the ledge with the dead rat. Run back up the stairs and do a running jump back to the bridge that Lara was on at the beginning of the level. Turn right and do a standing jump to get to the short piece of the bridge in the middle. Walk to the end of the bridge, and turn and face left. Do a running jump and grab to get to the ledge on the other side, and use a rusty key to open the door. Enter the room and immediately turn around to the right and climb up onto a ledge that is above the doorway. Two gorillas (14, 15) will reveal themselves, so ready a weapon and take them out from this ledge. Take a running jump to the next ledge, and immediately ready some weapons because Pierre's back. Pop Pierre a few times from the middle of the ledge until he runs away. Do a running jump and grab to get to the next ledge and pick up the large Medi Pack (12). Do another running jump and grab to get to the next ledge. Walk forward to the edge of the ledge, where Lara can see some clips in a dark alcove across and below the ledge. When Lara is against the very edge, have her turn around so that she is facing away from the ledge, and take one single step away from the edge. Do a back flip and land in the alcove, and pick up the magnum clips (13). If Lara hasn't already picked up the magnums, then instead of clips, this will be the actual guns. Do a running jump and grab to get back to the high ledge. Now turn around and face the wall, and do a running jump and grab onto the crevice on the other side. Shimmy right until Lara is in the tunnel and release. Head down the tunnel and drop into the room ahead. Slide down the first ramp and ready pistols and shoot at the croc (16) below. If he isn't cooperating, Lara can slide down the next two ramps to get a better shot at him. Put away the guns, and slide down the last ramp and immediately run forward and climb up onto the block opposite the bottom ramp. Lara should be able to get on the block without getting eaten by a second croc (17). Ready pistols and take out the second croc, and drop down off the block. Ready a weapon, preferably the shotgun, and head toward the dark area below the ramps Lara just slid down from. A third croc (18) will awaken, so kill it quick. Ready pistols and enter either tunnel on the other side. About halfway down the tunnel, start hopping back and kill the rat (19) that appears. Now head forward into the tunnel and grab the large Medi Pack (14). Return to the block and climb back up, and climb again to the higher block. Then do a standing jump and grab to get to the ledge above, and then do a running jump and grab to the next ledge. Turn and face right and to a running jump to get to the next ledge. Run off the edge and and allow Lara's momentum to carry her to the ledge below2, if Lara jumps down, she will take a little damage when she lands. Grab the crevice and shimmy to the left until Lara can pull herself up. Pull up and throw the switch. Ready the pistols and walk forward. Shoot the first rat (20) that is running around, and with her pistols still drawn, take a jump diagonally forward to avoid the spikes. A second rat (21) will appear, so kill it. Drop down into the mossy room ahead, and kill another rat (22) that is running around below. Then drop down off the block and turn and face the doorway into the next room. Lara will see a raised platform ahead of her in the next room. Run forward and take a running jump up to the platform, or if the guns are put away, Lara can run forward and boost up onto the platform. There is a pool in the middle of the raised platform. Turn right and another rat (23) will appear from behind the right side of the platform, draw the pistols if they're not already have them out, and blast the rat. Silver Key #1 Turn around and head up the steps until Lara reaches the wall. Climb up to the ledge, then turn right and climb up to the next ledge. Head forward and turn right and take a standing jump off the edge to the ledge below. Run forward and climb onto the next ledge. Turn right and take a running jump over to the next bridge, and then take a standing jump into the tunnel with the switch. Throw the switch and take a standing jump back to the bridge, and a running jump back to the ledge on the other side. Turn left and drop down to the lower ledge, and then safety drop back down to the ground. Enter the door Lara just opened, and turn around and face back out the door. Pick up the first Silver Key (15) and immediately draw some guns. Pierre will appear again ahead and on Lara's right, so pop him enough times to convince him him to go away. After he's gone, dive into the pool and surface in the next room. Ready pistols and from the two corners of the room, Lara can kill the two rats (24, 25) above. The impatient need only kill just one. Dive back into the pool and continue forward until Lara returns to the cistern. Flooding the Cistern Again exit the pool between the gargoyles and run up the ramp and to one side and climb up to the top of the ramp. Take a standing jump and grab to get to the small inner bridge, and climb onto the column and take a running jump onto the platform and run back into the pipe room. Being careful not to fall into the hole in the grating, jump over the gap and throw the switch and flood the cistern. Exit the pipe room back down the stairs, and dive into the water. A cool trick here is to dive, roll off the column below, and flop into the water. Silver Key #2 Swim back down through the hole in the side of the lower pool that Lara recently emerged from, and enter the room where she shot at those two rats. Swim up and throw the underwater switch, and pull up out of the water onto one of the ledges. Choose the one with the dead rat if Lara only killed one rat. On one ledge pick up the large Medi Pack (16) and shotgun shells (17) and take a running jump across to the other to grab the small Medi Pack (18). Dive back into the water and swim down to the door at the bottom and grab the second Silver Key (19), and then swim forward and back into the cistern. Rusty Door #2 and Gold Key Swim forward and to the right to the ledge that leads to the other closed rusty door and exit the water. Use the other rusty key to open the door, and then drop into the water. Swim forward, to the right, and then down into a room below the spikes. Swim up into the next room and grab the small Medi Pack (20) the Gold Key (21). Immediately swim forward through the underwater doorway that automatically opened and surface and pull Lara out of the water at the nearest ledge or bridge. Ready pistols and shoot at the croc (26) that is hot on Lara's tail. When the croc is dead, dive back into the water and exit the water at the ledge that leads up to a stairway with hand-rails and a silver door with pictures of rams on either side. SECRET #3 The ram that is just to the left of the doorway is a block. Push it once and enter SECRET #33. Run forward to the area below the ledge and Lara has two choices. The first method is to turn Lara so that she is facing away from the slope, then back up until she is at the base of the slope, back flip, press jump again, and then grab the ledge and and pull up onto the ledge. The second method is to face the slope and back away from it to get a running start and take a running jump at the slope, then press jump again to back flip up onto the ledge above. Run forward and grab two sets of magnum clips (22, 23) and a large Medi Pack (24). Run back to the end of the ledge and drop down onto the slope and exit the room. Silver Doors Use the two silver keys in sequence to open the two doors ahead. Enter the room and climb the shorter column on the right. Then turn left and do a standing jump and grab to get to the next ledge. Ready a weapon and do a running jump across to the large alcove. Shoot the gorilla (27) that was hiding behind the left side, and then use the gold key to open the door below. Don't drop down immediately, but instead, ready a weapon and shoot the two lions (28, 29) below. Lara may need to jump back to the ledge on the other side and then back down to the column to get a better shot at them. Drop down to the floor once the two lions are dead. Gold Door Run forward into the doorway that the two lions emerged from. Lara will find herself in a room with a stepped checkerboard floor. When Lara enters she will be on the lowest part of the floor. Run along the left side of the lowest part of the floor. Two of the dark squares will be broken floor tiles, but allow Lara to fall into the second pit. Hidden under the debris of the broken floor tile will be a small Medi Pack (25)4. Run all the way to the far end of the room, being careful not to fall down any of the other broken floor tiles into spiked pits. Ignore the switch, which will open the door to Lara's right and release three more lions. Instead pull out the block behind the switch twice to reveal the exit. Now, pull the block four times away from the wall, then come around the block and push once more so that it is against the sloped floor. Now climb onto the block, and then onto the ledge above. Pick up the large Medi Pack (26) and the two magnum clips (27, 28). Ready pistols and head toward the the doorway in the corner directly opposite where the two magnum clips were. As Lara approaches the slope, turn around and start backing toward the doorway, but do not enter it. Soon two rats (30, 31) will appear in front of her. Shoot them and enter the doorway. From the safety of this ledge above, kill the three lions (32, 33, 34) in the pen below. After they are dead, Lara can either safety drop down into the pen, throw the switch on the right and exit the room, or return to the large ledge and safety drop back to the checkerboard floor. Then drop into the hole behind the switch to exit this level. Lara will let out a blood curdling scream before she plops into the water. Tomb of Tihocan At the beginning of this level, Lara will be falling into the water. After splashing down, swim down and forward to the end of the long underwater tunnel. Then swim down deeper into the tunnel, turning around as Lara dives, and then swim forward and pull the underwater lever to lower the water level. Turn around and swim back up and surface and exit the water on the side with the switch. Throw the switch and ready a weapon, preferably the shotgun. Run forward into the tunnel with the door Lara just opened, and as Lara approaches the door, be ready to take out a croc (1) that is in the room. Enter the room and climb onto the lowest ledge on left, then run up the stairs. Climb up the next two blocks. At this point Lara should be able to recognize the dart tubes on the wall in front of her and on the wall on the left. Run forward and drop down to the ledge ahead. Turn left and do a running jump to get to the lower part of the strange shaped ledge in the middle of the room. Then take a standing jump and grab to get to the small ledge in ahead. Then take a running jump to the longer ledge on the far wall. By avoiding the center column, Lara will completely avoid setting off the darts. Climb up into the tunnel, and throw the switch and flood the room. Dive off the the ledge and notice that one the gray block is now floating. Swim into the tunnel that was formerly hidden behind the block and grab the small Medi Pack (1). Surface next to the gray block and pull up onto it and head forward into the tunnel. Dive into the hole at the end of the tunnel and swim down, forward a little, then down even deeper toward the grate below. Then swim forward to a switch and throw the switch to lower the water level and change the currents in the tunnel. Now if Lara has more that three quarters of her air left, then swim up, and forward down the extremely long tunnel, otherwise stop for air and then swim down the tunnel. The current will sweep Lara much further along than she could have gone otherwise. Surface in a little room with a rat (2) running around. Ready a weapon while in the water, then pull up out of the water and immediately kill the rat. Now pull the block once so that it is not under the ledge, and climb onto the block. Climb onto the ledge above the block, then turn left and climb onto the little ledge above and to Lara's left. Then climb again to get to the upper ledge of the room. Turn left and walk forward, and carefully make a jump onto the pillar diagonally to forward and to the left. Ready weapons, wait until Pierre appears in the passageway in front of her. Start shooting at him, and if necessary, take a backflip onto the large platform to give Lara a little more room. Keep firing until he runs away. Take a standing jump and grab to enter the passageway, and then run forward until Lara reaches the steel jaws. Time a standing jump through the steel jaws. Run forward until Lara reaches a hole. Ready a weapon, and kill the croc (3) that is running around below. Then drop down into the hole and run down the stairs into the room below. Pick up the two sets of shotgun shells (2, 3) and the magnum clips (4). SECRET #1 Now look around on the floor of the room and notice the three blocks of floor bricks that are discolored and oriented differently from the others. These are pressure plates. Step on all three of them, to open a door into SECRET #1. The slanty blocks should suggest how to get the items in this room. Stand facing the lowest slanted piece of floor and back up until Lara's back is against the second slanted block. Take a standing jump toward the first block, then tap jump to backflip off the first slant, tap jump once to jump off each of the next three successive slopes. After jumping off the last slope, immediately press action to grab onto the ledge and pull up. Get the large Medi Pack (5) and the shotgun shells (6) and then safety drop back down to the ground, and exit this room. Climb back up the stairs, up out of the holes, past the steel jaws and take a standing jump back to the room Lara entered from. From the pillar turn right to see a alcove with a shotgun shell and a swinging blade. Face the alcove and take a running jump and grab to get to the alcove. Grab the shotgun shells (7) and take a diagonal jump to the long ledge to Lara's right on the other side of the swinging blade. When Lara lands on that ledge, the blade will begin to swing. Turn around and walk forward toward the edge as close to the edge as Lara can without getting sliced. Take a hop back, and time a running jump and grab toward the passageway across from the blade, when the blade is at the lowest part of its swing as it is swinging to the left. Enter the passage and head forward until Lara reaches a ledge. Turn around to drop and hang off the ledge and shimmy right along the crevice until Lara can pull herself up. Pull up, and head forward and around the corner and throw the switch to flood the room below. Drop down into the water below and surface in the slot. Swim over to the tunnel and ready a weapon while in the water. Pull up into the tunnel and take a few steps forward to wake up the rat. Kill the rat (4) and jump into the water on the other side. Swim down and back up and surface and ready some weapons. Pull up into a room with some spikes and shoot the cougar (5) running around in this room. Run straight ahead into the tunnel and pull the inconspicuous lever that is on the wall to open the high door and return to the room with the spikes. Gold Key #1 Climb up up onto the higher of the two ledges and look up into the room above. Ready a weapon and kill the two gorillas (6, 7) from the alcove below. Lara may need to take little hops in place to shoot at them from the tops of her jumps. Take a standing jump and grab to pull up into the room above. Walk forward and take a standing jump and grab to grab the lowest part of the crevice on the left. Shimmy until Lara can pull up into the doorway Lara opened earlier. Enter the room and grab the large Medi Pack (8) and the Gold Key (9). Return to the doorway and take a standing jump over the hole. Then drop down the hole across from the door and onto the lower ledge below. Head forward into the next room with a pool and use the gold key to raise the blocks. Take three running jumps and one standing jump to cross the pool and grab the small Medi Pack (10) on the other side. Then enter the room ahead. Head forward until Lara reaches the block that is between two pillars. Push or pull the block twice until it is on the writing on the floor and them immediately climb onto the block. Ready a weapon and from the top of the block, kill the gorilla (8) that just emerged from the door Lara opened. Enter the room it emerged from and grab the magnum clips (11) and the shotgun shells (12) that he was guarding. Then return to the block. Rusty Key #1 Push it twice toward the wall with the two doors until it comes to a rest on more writing on the floor. Immediately climb onto the block again and ready a weapon and shoot the gorilla (9) that emerged from the another door Lara opened. Face the upper door that opened and take a standing jump and grab to get into the room. Time a careful jump through the metal jaws and grab the large Medi Pack (13) and the first Rusty Key (14). Time a quick run back past the metal jaws and drop to the floor below, and enter the room the gorilla emerged from and grab the shotgun shells (15), and return to the block. Pull the block twice away from the upper door until it is on more writing. Again, immediately climb onto the block and ready weapons to kill the four rats (10, 11, 12, 13) that emerge from the room Lara just opened. Enter the room the rats emerged from and grab the small Medi Pack (16), then return to the block. Rusty Key #2 Push the block twice away from the wall with the two doors until it is on the last patch of writing. The last door will open. Walk into the doorway to the edge of the threshold. Press forward and then jump to run forward and take a running jump into the alcove across from the door avoiding the two boulders rolling towards Lara from both sides of the room. Pick up the second Rusty Key (17), then return to the floor of the room and grab the small Medi Pack (18). Use the two rusty keys to open the door on the opposite side of the room from the entrance to this room, which reveals a long ramp. SECRET #2 This would be a good place to save the game. Walk to the edge of the ramp, and side step all the way to the right. Turn Lara so that she is facing the rocks on the left of the ramp and instead of sliding down the ramp, jump forward and repeatedly make blind jumps until Lara lands on a flat area to the left of the ramp near the bottom. Ahead is room full of broken floor tiles with an alcove on the opposite side. Any combination of jumps can be used to get across, except all six jumps must be done without pausing. (eg. face forward and jump: forward, left, forward, forward, right, forward; or face left and jump: right, forward, right, right, back, right; etc... However, if Lara is starting by facing forward or backward, she must take a step back, away from the edge of the doorway, or after a few jumps, she will overshoot one of the ledges) The last jump will place Lara into SECRET #2, where she can pick up uzi clips (19) and magnum clips (20). Safety drop down to the floor, run back to the entrance, and climb back up to the entrance. Step onto the ramp and slide into the pool below. As soon as Lara hits the water, begin to swim forward, past a shallow, until she reaches a gray stone block, where she can pull herself out of the water. Exit the water, and ready pistols, and kill the croc (14) that chased Lara all the way over to this block. Then enter the tunnel and turn right and climb up the rocks. Climb up until Lara reaches a tunnel that leads out to a sandy ledge. Run around to the left of the rock ahead and walk up onto the top of the rock. Walk to the edge of the rock, which has a slope down the other side. Turn around and face away from the slope and slide down the slope backward, grabbing the edge at the bottom. Pull up and immediately press jump, and Lara will backflip onto the upper ledge opposite the boulder. Climb up to the ledge above and throw the switch which opens a under water doorway, then dive into the water below. Swim into a tunnel that leads to another under water room, turn right and continue to swim forward through another underwater tunnel. Then swim down and to the right and continue swimming forward until Lara can surface in front of the entrance to the tomb. With Lara in the water in front of the tomb entrance, facing the entrance squarely, dive down and swim forward under the tomb entrance, and then to the right. Ahead will be a slanted rock with a underwater tunnel below it that leads upward and to the left. Swim up the tunnel, then into the tunnel with the metal door Lara opened earlier, and then surface in the room with another switch. Throw the switch to open the door to the tomb, and then return to the water and swim back through the tunnel. After the tunnel, swim to the right and upward toward the sandy ledge that is to the left of the tomb entrance, and exit the water there. Ready a weapon and walk toward the tomb via the small sandy ledge to Lara's left. As she approaches the tomb, the statue will explode to life1. Immediately, jump back a couple of times while firing at the centaur (15). As soon as Lara reaches the wide sandy ledge, begin to jump sideways left and right, never staying in one place longer than it takes to make another jump. With this method Lara should be able to kill the centaur without getting hit by any fireballs. Eventually the centaur will explode. Pierre, Scion #2 &Gold Key #2 With weapons still readied, enter the tomb to finally have it out with Pierre (16) once and for all. Turn and face the two pillars on Lara's left and walk through the right passageway. Pierre will be directly opposite her, and approaching [usually] from the left. So as soon as Lara has her sights locked on Pierre, begin firing at him, while jumping to the side (right) to stay away from him. Keep the scion pedestal between Pierre and Lara the whole time and shoot at him as Lara jumps. Do not stay in one place, and keep shooting until he goes down. After he's down, pick the Gold Key (21), the second piece of the Scion (22), and his magnums (23) off of him. At this point if Lara is in the mood to kill everything on this level, return to the entrance of the tomb, and walk to the threshold with guns drawn. The other statue will explode to life. Do not step out of the tomb, but instead jump back and take pot shots at the centaur (17) as it runs past the door way. If it stops in front of the doorway use the side jump method while inside the tomb to hit the centaur while avoiding its fireballs. The centaur will not enter the tomb. Now return to the room where Lara had her gunfight with Pierre, and climb onto one of the short platforms at the corners of the room. Do a standing jump and grab to get to the ledge on the side of the room, and get the magnum clips (24), repeat this process on the other side of the room where there is another set of magnum clips (25). Then run along ledge at side of the room toward the white banisters and potted plants at back of the room. Take a standing diagonal jump from the side ledge to the main ledge. Run behind of the left set of banisters to pick up a large Medi Pack (26), then use the gold key to open the door on the other side of the room. Safety drop to floor of the room and enter the doorway and enjoy the next cut scene and full motion video.
