Note: This is a Walkthrough. This is not a simple 'FAQ'. I only create a FAQ
for a game that I truly love. So if you see a guide written by me on a specific
game, then you know that I have put my heart and soul into the guide because I
basically got hooked on the game and it has a special place next to my heart.
So every guide that I produce WILL get to v1.00 without fail, unless a car hits
me and I die of course...

OK well welcome to my third FAQ so far! Hope you enjoy the game as much as I
have. I started this just after someone requested a guide on
www.tombraiderchronicles.com. So here is my guide. Whether it is good or not is
not up to me to decide - but you. I make this with every effort that I have. If
I come up short then there is nothing I can do! Anyway, onward and upward!

Well the reason I am writing this (and yes I am still writing this even as you
read it - believe me I am a perfectionist) and any other FAQs that I have
created, is because I get a good old buzz when someone benefits from something
that I have written.
Mission statement: To make my FAQ/Guide/Walkthrough as good, as in-depth and as
thorough as the first FAQ that I ever read. The Unofficial C&C Strategy FAQ
written by the great Roger Wong.

I will not be adding things to this section that you need to play the game
anyway - jump run vault and climb etc. Note with combos: Most of the combos can
have different elements of the other combo moves intermixed near the end. In
fact you can do this simply to keep the combo going indefinitely. Although who
would be stupid enough to try that.
A big thanks goes out to "Lynne M" for providing me with correct terminology
for the moves that Lara performs. I will provide both my interpretations (for
those like me who have no idea about anything gymnastics and for those who are
smarter than I am :] )
The more difficult and less known ones I shall be providing a video link so
that players may see what the move actually looks like.
#JUMP-FLIP WITH LEGS TUCKED# - Front Tuck.
Double tap the jump key. Increases jump length slightly.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
COMBO +JUMP-FLIP WITH LEGS TUCKED-FLIP WITH NO ARMS+
Tap the jump key 4 times. Looks cool.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
COMBO +JUMP-FLIP WITH LEGS TUCKED-FLIP WITH NO ARMS X2+ - Front Tuck with Front
Layout.
Tap the jump key 6 times. Looks even cooler.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
COMBO +JUMP-FLIP WITH LEGS TUCKED-FLIP WITH NO ARMS X2-SPINNING SOMERSAULT+ -
Front Tuck - Front Layout - Front Twisting Layout.
Tap the jump key repeatedly. Looks wicked.
Video Link:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mz0uECneocI
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#ROLL#
Hit the roll button whilst running forward. Useful for when you need to gain a
metre or two very quickly.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
COMBO +ROLL-HANDSPRING+
Tap roll button 3 times in quick succession whilst running forward. Useful for
gaining more than a metre or two fast.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
COMBO +ROLL-HANDSPRING-CARTWHEEL+
Lara wilL perform a roll, then a handspring and finally a cartwheel to be
facing the other direction. Whilst running, tap the roll key twice, then whilst
in the handspring press backwards and roll.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
COMBO +ROLL-HANDSPRING-CARTWHEEL-HANDSTAND SOMERSAULT X2-SPINNING SOMERSAULT+
Do the same as above but will perform 2 handstand somersaults and a spinning
somersault to finish facing the other direction.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
COMBO +ROLL-HANDSPRING-SLOW SPINNING somersault+
Tap roll whilst moving to start the roll, then roll again to do a handspring,
then in the middle of the handspring press backwards and jump. Lara will do a
roll, handspring then a spinning somersault similar to others but only spins
once around so that she ends up facing the other direction.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
COMBO +ROLL-HANDSPRING-SLOW SPINNING somersault-BACKWARDS somersault
X2-SPINNING somersault+
Same as above but keep pressing jump after the last one. Lara will do two
backwards somersaults then a full spinning somersault all backwards. NICE!!!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
COMBO +ROLL-HANDSPRING-HANDSTAND somersault+
Tap roll button 6 times in quick succession whilst running forward. Useful for
gaining a fair few metres fast.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
COMBO +ROLL-HANDSPRING-HANDSTAND somersault X3-SPINNING somersault+
Tap roll button 12 times in quick succession whilst running forward. No more
moves can be added to this. Also note that because no moves can be added to the
end of this, just tap the roll button quickly until she performs it. Useful for
moving a great distance fast.... and for entertaining the folks back home.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#SWAN DIVE#
Tap the jump key then the roll button in quick succession whilst running. Do
this like a 1-2 punch in boxing. NOTE: Don’t attempt this outside of these two
scenarios - diving into water or diving to a level the same height of TWO
levels below. Doing so will kill poor Lara. Do this before the previous one for
a wicked combo move!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
COMBO +SWAN DIVE-ROLL-HANDSPRING-HANDSTAND somersault X3-SPINNING somersault+
Tap the roll key repeatedly. This is the best combo in the game.
Video Link:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yKNM-fT3nsA
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
COMBO +SWAN DIVE-ROLL-HANDSPRING-CARTWHEEL+
Lara will perform a swan dive, then a roll, then a handspring, then finally
perform a cartwheel and be facing the other direction. Do this, while running
forward, press jump, then immediately roll, then whilst in the roll press roll
again. Whilst in the handspring press roll again at the same time as you press
backwards. Lara will be facing the other direction.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#BACKFLIP#
Whilst guns are out, hold the backwards key and hit the jump key. NOTE: Lara
can only do this with guns out! Yes I know I hate that too.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#SIDEFLIP# (Both directions)
Whilst guns are out, hold down either side key and hit the jump key. NOTE: Lara
can only do this with guns out!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#FORWARD FLIP#
Whilst guns are out, hold down the forward key and hit the jump key. NOTE: Lara
can only do this with guns out!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#FAST HAND OVER HAND SHIMMY#
Whilst hanging from her fingertips and your looking at her back, hold down one
of the side keys and press the interact or E key in time with Lara’s movements.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#BACKWARDS VAULT-HANDSPRING#
Whilst guns are out, hit the back key and tap the roll button. NOTE: This can
only be performed when guns are out.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#SIDEWAYS VAULT-ROLL#
Whilst guns are out, hold one of the side keys, then tap the roll button. NOTE:
This can only be performed when guns are out.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#SLOW MOTION POUNCE AND GUN#
This one is hard to use but comes in handy. If you cant get it first go, give
up! You expend too much health otherwise from weapon hits. When Lara is within
jumping range of an enemy that is right in front of Lara, jump and as Lara is
about to land on them, jump again and Lara will enter slow motion, tomb raider
style. You will have locked Lara’s guns on them so just fire Lara’s guns to
waste em. Lara will perform a roll when Lara hit the ground. Its pretty cool
and very useful at times when you need to take them down fast. I do believe you
are able to kill them faster and with less rounds than normal because of where
Lara’s hitting them.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#SLOW MOTION DIVING POUNCE AND GUN#
Just as above but instead of pressing jump, you press the crouch or roll key
and Lara will dive through the air and give Lara a shot at their back.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#SLOW MOTION GROUND SLIDING TRIP AND GUN#
This one is a little more useful. Whilst guns are out, run at Lara’s opponent
and as you get within jumping range, press roll and Lara will slide underneath
and trip the enemy soldier. Pretty impressive.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#SLOW MOTION ENEMY VAULT AND GUN#
This move need to be performed right next to an enemy for it to work. First be
right next to an enemy and face them. Have Lara’s guns out and then press jump
key. Then whilst Lara is in the air, fire Lara’s weapon for an easy slow motion
kill.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#TURN AROUND ON BAR#
Whilst at the top of the swing on a bar, press and hold the other direction.
Simple.
Video Link:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=82OW-QmXOCk
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#TKATCHEV MOVE# - The Tkatchev move is named after Alexander Vasilyevich
Tkachev as he created the move and used it during the Olympic Games and
thereafter has been used heavily ever since.
When at the top of the swing on a bar, hold down the E key and press the
opposite direction. This will cause Lara to turn mid flight, then do some weird
looking maneuver where she disconnects, splits her legs then connects again,
whilst swinging the other direction. Very weird. I guess the idea behind this
is a speedy turn around maybe?
Video Link:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPUNQrfwXKE
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#FREESTYLE#
While at the surface of water, hold down forward and hit the interact or E key
repeatedly. Cool! She can even swim real fast.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#UNDERWATER BREASTSTROKE#
While underwater, hold down forward and press the interact or E key repeatedly.
This makes swimming much faster.

This section will contain a detailed run down of all the weapons featured in
Tomb Raider Legend.
TBC
NOTE: These are only my interpretations of the various weapons. I have no real
idea what the weapons are. Maybe someone in the know can point out to me what
the weapons are exactly. I would be very greatful for any input towards this
endeavour. The following four weapons descriptions have been submitted from
"Sam Vere", obviously a well learned person when it comes to guns.
#Pistols#
Heckler & Koch USP Match (compare in-game name - RGB Mach 5) - the
large counterweights/compensators are distinctive. Normally available in 9mm
(15 round magazine) or .45 (12 round magazine). Since they are listed as having
'extended' mags that could mean they are .45s - unless they are referring to
after the upgrade...
#SMG#
One of the H&K MP5/MP10/MP40 family (9mm, 10mm & .40 S&W respectively)
(there are so many varients it isn't funny - laregly because it is a modular
design)
#Rifle#
M16/M4 carbine. Probably the latter simply because that seems to be the
most popular in games nowadays.)
#Shotgun#
Anyone's guess. Definitely not a SPAS-12 (Very distinctive) or SPAS-15
(Magazine-fed semi-auto shotgun that looks worryingly like an oversized M16/M4)
#Fixed Machine Gun Emplacement#
#RPG# - Removed from game.
#Grenade Launcher#
#Grenades#
#Excalibur#
#Soul Reaver# (This is from Crystal Dynamics' other game series - Legacy of
Kain - Soul Reaver)

[INTRODUCTION]
We start off on the side of a mountain, climbing the way up to the ruins. After
a short passage where she climbs, talks, climbs some more and finally jumps
onto a ledge. We are standing in front of the ruins of some place.
[LEVEL BEGINS]
OK First up, go up the ramp right in front of Lara and jump to the other side.
/%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%\
Just before you cross the broken bridge, go left of the pillar in front of
Lara, and you will find the first bronze reward. NICE!
\%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%/
-{Bronze 1/10}-
/%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%\
Look to Lara’s right and you will notice in the cave there, is the second
bronze reward. Grab it.
\%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%/
-{Bronze 2/10}-
Turn left and notice a pool with a waterfall. Do a perfect swan dive into the
pool (well you don’t have to if you don’t want to!) and turn to Lara’s left.
There should be a ledge, climb up onto it. "Ahh that was lovely!" she will say.
A short cinematic where Lara looks at her PDA.
[FIRST BOULDER]
Immediately in front of Lara is another ledge. Climb it too. Notice that there
is a big ass boulder in Lara’s way? Grab it and move it forward. Now back up
and jump onto the outcropping. Turn right and you will see two vines, one right
in front of Lara. Climb that one and get to the correct height and jump across
to the other vine and finally onto the next outcropping. Now in front of Lara
is a rope dangling from a tree. Perform a running jump and Lara will grab onto
it.
/#############################################################################\
When Lara are on the rope, turn to Lara’s left and notice another cave. Swing
into it and continue down the cave which turns to Lara’s right. Soon enough,
you will see the first silver reward, sitting just before a drop, which will
place Lara on the path described below.
\#############################################################################/
-{Silver 1/5}-
Swing from the rope a few times and jump through the waterfall.
[BEHIND THE WATERFALL]
Turn Lara’s light on so you can see and start walking into the cave. Go around
the U bend and come to a small jump. Take a running jump and arrive at the
ledge. Lara will now look at the small ledge that stretches out across the side
of the mountain. Jump onto this and move along it until you get to a small gap
where an outcropping awaits. Jump onto it and remember this spot.
[STREAM]
Now start up the stream and once you get close to the boulder in front of Lara,
it will start to roll back with an intention of crushing Lara. Go back to the
place you remembered and watch as the boulder flies off the ledge and into the
pool below. Run up this stream again and you will notice a branch across the
path. Just before the branch is a small ramp on the right. Go up the ramp and
jump onto the branch. Swing and jump onto the next branch then onto the ledge,
then move right and jump to the next ledge.
[FIRST MERCENARY]
A short cinematic will show where Lara is shocked to find someone is after her
but cannot find her. He will wander off up the stream and Lara can then get up
from the ledge. Get out Lara’s trusty guns and go waste some fool. Continue up
the way and you will come to a fallen tree. Go back a bit and see a bright
white ledge that you can grab onto. It is on two sides of a cliff. Jump on this
and move around the side and then vault up onto the outcropping. Ahh another
boulder to push you say! Yup! Push the boulder onto the fallen tree below and
watch as a branch is brought into the air, perfect height for swinging! Jump
down from the ledge.
/%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%\
Just to Lara’s left is the third bronze reward.
\%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%/
-{Bronze 3/10}-
Jump onto that branch you just propped up. Swing a bit and launch onto the
rocks on top of the waterfall.
[SECOND WATERFALL]
You will see a shiny metal circular door. Grapple it and give it a yank. It
will come down and shatter. Walk into the door and a cinematic will play
showing two guys musing over a cigarette smoking monkey. Lara will sneak into
the area and get prepared for an attack. Whip out Lara’s guns and blast em. If
you don’t want to be hurt unnecessarily, jump and dodge and move about. Once
they are sucking in water, heal Lara and grab the medic kits.
[THIRD WATERFALL]
OK now jump onto the rock just in front of the next waterfall, and grab the
ledge there. Either race to the left of the ledge or simple let it crumble and
cause Lara to fall, then get back on it. It don’t matter. Jump to the left hand
side of the ledge and then backwards jump onto the horizontal pole. Swing and
then launch onto the ledge. Climb around the side and then jump onto the next
ledge and vault Lara up onto the platform. Turn left and go round the bend and
notice the handy dandy rope ready for you to swing from. Use it to swing to the
slight right of the waterfall and onto the ledge behind it.
/%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%\
Just to the left, behind the waterfall, and slightly to the left is a small
cave, with the fourth bronze reward in it. Nab it and then drop back down a
level and move across and back to the right of the waterfall as you are looking
at it.
\%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%/
-{Bronze 4/10}-
Turn around and see two horizontal poles sticking out from the wall.
[HORIZONTAL POLES X2]
Jump and swing onto those and onto the far ledge. Get Lara’s guns out and waste
the guy around the corner. Now notice the silver shiny disc above the stream?
To grapple that jump twice whilst moving toward it. Swing a bit and then jump
onto the far ledge (well if you were moving fast enough then you don’t have to
swing at all). Continue down the corridor and around the bend to the right,
then left and find an open area.
/%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%\
Just as you loose Lara from the grapple swing, you will turn right down the
corridor. Just on the bend, if you look up you will see the fifth bronze
reward, but no way to get it! Ahh that’s what the mighty grapple is for! Move
back a little from it and chuck Lara’s grapple at it. Give it a yank and hey
presto!
\%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%/
-{Bronze 5/10}-
Once you enter the vale, a cinematic will play with Lara being coy about the
ruins. Then the "bloody tourists" arrive and spoil it. Ok time for some
payback.
[BLOODY TOURISTS]
See the rocks immediately in front of Lara? Hit the E or interact key to bring
out Lara’s guns and shoot at the rocks aka environmental hazards to cause them
to roll down the hill and crush the two guys walking down below. Time it well
and the rocks will kill both, time it poorly and you will have to waste the
second or both of them with Lara’s guns when you get down there. Now, once
they are taken care of, slide down the hill and grab the medic kits from the
dead guys if you need em. You only need to walk over the top of them to pick
them up. You wont pick up more than you can carry so if you walk over them and
they still sit there, then you have the maximum.
/%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%\
Just as you get down from the slide, if you look to Lara’s forward right, you
will see a small alcove in the rock. Go in there and just behind a rock is the
sixth bronze reward. Saweet!
\%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%/
-{Bronze 6/10}-
Ok now you have two choices - Go around to the right of the pillar on the left,
waste a guy and jump up to the ledge on Lara’s left or you could go up the ramp
to the left of the pillar and waste the guy standing there and then the guy
down below. I find going up the ramp much easier and faster. You can pick up
the submachine gun if you want - its not bad but horribly inaccurate.
/%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%\
Just before you jump onto the rope, jump down and go to Lara’s right. You will
see a small corridor with a bridge above. Continue down this little corridor
and what do ya know? The seventh bronze reward!! OMFG! What a find! Once you
are done, go back up to the ledge you were on.
\%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%/
-{Bronze 7/10}-
Now looking over the edge of the ledge you see the obvious rope that will lead
you to the obvious ledge you need to swing to. Do this now but climb up a bit
to ensure you are high enough to land on the opposing ledge. Once onto the next
platform you will confronted with another slide down to the lower level. Be
ready to whip out Lara’s guns and dispose of a fair few baddies, so get out
Lara’s newly acquired submachine gun.
[THIRD MERCENARY GROUP]
As soon as you are down, turn right and start wasting guys left and right with
Lara’s submachine gun. A cool trick is the pillar on Lara’s right, as you are
crossing the small bridge. Hit that with the E or interact key and bingo! A ton
of rock lands on the mercenaries heads, killing one or two instantly. Whilst
doing this, keep trying to make Lara as hard to hit as possible by doing jumps
and such whilst shooting. When you run out of ammo, you will auto switch to
Lara’s hand guns. Keep it up past the car until all are disposed of. Grab
either the submachine gun ammo from the dropped guns or pick up the assault
rifle. I like the power of the assault rifle.
[STAIRS BESIDE CAR]
Option 1: Go up the stairs and a short cinematic will play with two guys firing
a round at you, barely missing you, Lara pulls her guns out to fire back but
the two "amateurs" run off into the tunnel only to be sliced and diced "that
sounded permanent". Ok, now note that slicing sound whilst you watch the
cinematic. This gives a hint as to what lays ahead.
Option 2: Instead of the stairs, look to the right for a small platform leading
to a series of platforms that you can jump onto. Jump all the way up and then
go into the corridor. This only bypasses the cinematic but hey it don’t matter
in the end.
/#############################################################################\
As you are looking at the stairs, take a look on the left side and you will
just see a couple levels of big steps. Just up two steps and have a look at the
brick wall to Lara’s left. Look beyond it and you will see a little speck of
silver. Could it be? Yes it is! The second silver reward!!
\#############################################################################/
-{Silver 2/5}-
[SPINNING SPIKES PUZZLE]
As you walk up the stairs and into the corridor, the floor will slide off the
sides and the spinning spikes will reveal a gruesome death to all who would
like to try them out. Now remember the double jump grapple that you performed
earlier? Do this on the very edge and before you start swinging, hold down the
E or interact key to gain some height if necessary. Make sure you give Lara the
best possible swing before launching off and attempting to land onto the solid
floor in the distance. I missed once and I don’t like hearing the horrible
slicing when your character is the one being diced. Once you have made it past
the death pit, continue onwards down the corridor and turn right.
/%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%\
Just at the end of the corridor past the gruesome death pit, if you look to
Lara’s left, you will notice a small hole in the wall. Go through this and
yeehaw! The eighth bronze reward!
\%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%/
-{Bronze 8/10}-
[CHAINS]
Anyway once you have entered into the room with the unusual things on chains
you will get in information cinematic showing you where you need to go. Either
walk to jump onto the bare chain and start climbing quickly. Look around whilst
climbing for the closest available bare chain, and look at it. Then hit the
jump key to jump to it and then continue climbing. Jump back to the original
chain once it is free again, then onto the ledge that is now at the right
height. Go down the small area and find a lower room with a single chain. To
save health, jump onto it and simply slide all the way down.
[SINGLE CHAIN ROOM]
Turn right around and notice the opening in the side of the wall behind you. Go
through this and turn right to find a nice little pool of water to do another
perfect swan dive! Once in the water turn right and swim through to the opening
in the surface and go up to catch a breath.
/%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%\
Get out of the water, and behind a small little wall will be the ninth bronze
reward. Cool, brilliant, wonderful...
\%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%/
-{Bronze 9/10}-
Turn around in the water and notice the bright sand on the bottom right - we
want to go that way. Duck under and swim down that underwater passage and turn
right. Come up and out of the water onto the stone floor. Go down this passage,
turn right. Stop before you get to the left turn. Whip out Lara’s guns and get
ready to waste a leopard. NOTE: This animal is not in the demo. Once the animal
is removed from the level, proceed left and slow down to see the two side walls
coming together to smash against each other.
[FIRST CLOSING WALLS]
When they are together race up to them and when you come to a stop, stop! As
soon as they open again race forward and roll when you are near the end so that
you get out in time. Aha! You say! I see a cage! Haha! That is the key to the
puzzle to Lara’s left! Grab it and move it to the crashing walls and when they
open, push it into the gap and continue moving it into the gap until you get to
the second set of crashing walls.
[SECOND CLOSING WALLS]
Now a trick - when the second one opens, only push the cage just far enough to
stop both walls from crashing together. Once the first wall retracts, push the
cage further into the second set of walls and continue on. When you get to the
end of it, do the same with the second as you did the first. Wait till it
closes and smashes onto the cage then push forward and out. Dump the cage and
race up the stairs to the right (well you don’t have to race if you don’t want
to...) and into the brand new room. Ahh the master puzzle of the demo level!
[MASTER PUZZLE]
/%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%\
Just to Lara’s right and onto the level just to the right of the chain that you
face, is the tenth and final bronze reward! WICKED!
\%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%/
-{Bronze 10/10}-
Oh dam the door just closed behind Lara and she is now locked in the tomb. A
cinematic will play showing the door closing and Lara looking up at the
contents of the new room. "patience and persistence" is required for this
puzzle. Turn right and find the cage on the current deck level. Now grab out
Lara’s handy dandy new binocs, turn on RAD, and have a look at the three square
pads on the floor, the bright white door at the far end of the room and the
three cages - one to Lara’s immediate right, one underneath what looks like a
seesaw to Lara’s forward left and another to Lara’s far forward right. First
off, grab the cage on Lara’s right, and move it onto any one of the three pads.
If you step on a pad Lara will look at what happens to learn what each pad
does. Once the first cage is on a pad, walk to the middle where the middle pad
is and right on the end, on the lower level is a leopard! Waste it from where
you are so that it cant harm you. Now jump down to the lower level and grab the
cage from underneath the seesaw and then place it on top of it on the same end
as it was. Jump up to the upper decking and then run to the ledge to the right
of the seesaw. Now turn left and jump onto the end of the seesaw to launch the
cage up and onto the decking. If you just ran onto the end of the seesaw the
cage will simply roll off it. You need to jump onto it. Repeat the process with
the other cage, until all three are on the top deck. Move each cage to an empty
pad and watch as the door opens. Hoorah! Now you can do two of one solution,
which really, is a simple mirror of the other. Either left side or right side.
It don’t matter. Jump up onto the ledge on the wall next to the door you used
to enter the room and next to the chain with the thingy on it. From there, jump
onto the chain above the thingy and then onto the thin ledge and start moving
hand over hand around the bend. Jump up a level and up onto the deck there.
Above Lara’s head is a chain that you can use to climb across the small chasm.
Once on the other side of the chain, you will see a horizontal pole sticking
out from the wall. Funny how these things are obviously put so that you can
get from point A to point B! Jump onto it and swing and launch Lara onto the
platform where the door opened.
/#############################################################################\
Well this isn’t hard but its time consuming. Once you are at the top, right in
front of the door, look to the other side of the room if you took the left path
on the left side of the room. From where you are at the door, jump onto the
ledge and around the bend. Continue along and then vault up to the next ledge
up, and then vault onto the ledge where the chain is. Cross the chain to the
other side of it and let go. Whoopee! The third silver reward!!
\#############################################################################/
-{Silver 3/5}-
/$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$\
OK now this can be a bit tricky to accomplish. Once you have all three cages on
the pads, go to the middle one and grab it. Push the cage towards the white
door so as to get a good view of it. The door should shut. OK, now pull it back
onto the pad. Now race back to the cage on Lara’s left and pull or push it off.
If you timed it right, the door should be stuck half way. If it isn’t right,
then you wont be able to grab the chain to get up. To fix this, step on the
left pad for a second and watch the locking mechanism unlock, then the cog will
turn. Once it is just enough for the cog to turn, jump off. To add that little
bit of leeway, move the cage from the middle pad to stop the doors movement and
bring the chain to the right position. Brilliant! Now make Lara’s way up to the
door. Climb up the wall beside the door and then do a sideways jump ONTO the
door itself. Vault up and onto the door to find the gold reward! Well done!!!

[INTRODUCTION]
Since this is continued from the demo level, there is no introduction needed.
[SLICY BLADES]
OK, the first 'interactive movie' sequence. Its really easy once you know how
these things work. First off, when you enter a interactive movie sequence, you
partially control Lara. You will see Lara moving but only you control small
portions of what she does. When you need to do something, the game will display
a direction arrow. Make sure you press the direction arrow when it displays and
make sure its the right one or else watch Lara die. It stays on screen for
about a second. Up arrow is forward when looking Lara’s direction when you
normally control Lara. And the other directions are the same. Just don’t press
the buttons corresponding to Lara’s current direction. OK the keys, are back or
down, then up or forward. NOTE: When she flips during the second button press
moment, you will see the silver reward below you. You cannot access this yet so
don’t worry. Turn immediately right, down a but then slow down and turn left.
Be wary of the edge just in front of you. Walk right up to the edge and whip
out Lara’s guns. As you look into the big room, you will see things that look
like the old 'hills hoist' washing lines or coat hangers. They are really
torture devices. Look to Lara’s right and you will see a leopard. Waste it
before you continue.
[TORTURE DEVICES]
OK put Lara’s guns away and drop down to Lara’s fingertips on the edge. Move as
far as you can to the right, then drop down two levels then let go. You will be
pretty much on the lower level. Find the platform to Lara’s right looking back
up at the way you came. Move over to this platform and jump up to it.
/#############################################################################\
When you are on the lower level, look just left of the entrance that you just
dropped down from. You will notice a section of wall that is a slightly
different, lighter, colour than the rest of the wall. Move over this section,
grab it and push it into the wall. Keep moving it until you cant push it any
further. Let go and turn right. Go down the passageway and turn left. You will
enter into a room that is below the slicy blades above you. Ahh you finally got
that elusive one that you couldn’t get before! the fourth silver reward!
\#############################################################################/
-{Silver 4/5}-
Now look at the closest 'coat hangar'. Jump to the left side of it so that you
swing on it and cause it to move around. Whilst still swinging forward, jump to
the next one in line and cause that one to swing around. Jump onto the last one
and as it turns around, jump onto the ledge on the wall. Move right by quickly
shimmying until you get to the exit. You cant get out just yet. Jump across the
bottom of the exit to the other ledge on the other side of the doorway.
/#############################################################################\
Once you are on the other side of the doorway, look behind you, and you will
notice a 'coat hangar' directly behind you. Jump backwards onto the left side
of it and wait till it turns around. Now jump straight onto the ledge right in
front of you. Vault up and collect the fifth and last silver reward of the
level. Congrats! Once you have collected the loot, jump back to the same side
of the 'coat hangar' and await it to turn back again. Then jump back to the
wall, where you came from.
\#############################################################################/
-{Silver 5/5}-
Now move to the right as far as you can go, and vault upwards to catch the wall
ledge. Move right again, and then vault up to the small wall ledge there. Now
move left and jump the gap to the wall ledge that will lead you to the exit.
Turn the corner and let go. Bingo! We are past the 'coat hangars of death!'.
[APACHE ATTACK]
Jump up a level and immediately turn right. Proceed down this corridor and
perform every running maneuver in the book until you feel happy enough to fight
an AH-64 APACHE! Turn the corner to the left and you will be faced with a
cinematic which shows Lara’s past in a flashback. Once the flashback is
finished, you will be on a bridge with an apache about to rain fire down upon
Lara’s humble bridge. Don’t shoot, just run and jump the gaps it creates and
finally jump onto the edge of the rock platform. Vault up and start to waste
all the mercenaries you see. Piece of p---.
[LEVEL COMPLETE NOTES]
Lara inspects the stone dais and talks to zip and co about the fact that the
shows not over. The next scene takes place in the manor, back in London. The
crew examine the stone dais and Lara barks out her new orders. Its off to Peru

[INTRODUCTION]
We start in a alley way with a dummy opposing us in a showdown. Everyone
scampers off screen and we are left to our own devices shortly after.
[LEVEL BEGINS]
Proceed forward and up to the dummy in front of you and turn left.
/%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%\
As soon as you get to the dummy, turn right and go around to the back of the
building on the right. Jump onto the smaller roof and onto the bigger roof.
Proceed to the other side of the roof and jump and grapple the power pole on
the other side of the street. Swing to the roof directly opposite. Jump down to
the other side and notice the first bronze reward. Now move the box that is
nearby to the fence and use it to jump over it.
\%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%/
-{Bronze 1/8}-
You will see Lara's friend sitting by a parked jeep. Go through the gateway and
a cut scene will ensue. After a bit of chatting, a truck crashes through a side
gate and just about rams the jeep. Whilst whats her name jumps into the jeep
and heads off, Lara is left to waste the guys who arrived in the truck. Waste
2-3 guys on the right, then another 3 guys on the right side.
/%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%\
Once you have disposed of the bad guys, jump onto the little stall to the side
of the stairs. Now jump onto the closest roof. You will notice two poles
sticking out from the wall in front of you. Jump on each of these and onto the
roof beyond. Once you have arrived there, grab the second bronze reward and
grab onto the zip line and slide all the way down.
\%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%/
-{Bronze 2/8}-
/%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%\
Before you jump onto the flag pole, go down the alleyway nearby and round the
corner to Lara’s left will be a bronze reward. This is the third of the level.
\%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%/
-{Bronze 3/8}-
Soon after you waste all 6 or so of the enemy guys, a shot gun toting merc will
bash through un upstairs door and try and find you. Either waste him from the
ground, or immediately jump onto the flag pole and scale it. Once at the right
height, jump onto the platform and turn right.
/#############################################################################\
Just as you get off the flag pole, there is a door just ahead and to Lara’s
left. Go through it and on the right hand side of the room is a silver reward.
This is the first silver reward. Nab it and back through the door
\#############################################################################/
-{Silver 1/2}-
You will need to jump grapple to get across the gap here. On the other side, go
through the nearest door and find another shotgun wielding dude. Paste him and
grab the stuff on the table if you need it. Immediately to Lara’s left is a
door that leads to a horde of bad guys. Be prepared to go out running and
gunning. Open the door and start pummeling the mercs a new one.
[MERCS]
The following area contains a lot of mercs. Here is a list:
-Right in front of you is a building with a terrace. A single merc is up there.
-On Lara’s right as you exit the building, is a guy on the ground. Above him is
a grapple-able light post. You can use this to swing across to the other
buildings.
-In the building tower diagonally to Lara’s right is 2 mercs inside and one on
the roof of the building behind it.
-Another merc is just around the corner on the ground below this tower like
building.
-Around the corner a bit more is 2 more mercs on the ground.
-As you come around the corner a jeep will rush in from the right with a guy on
the back wielding a heavy machine cannon. To easily past this guy, hit the
interact key on the electricity pole above his head. This will knock it off its
support and electrocute him.
-Around the corner and a bit further on is 3 more guys intent on throwing
grenades at you. Rush in past the grenades and pummel them.
-Finally a guy should appear back behind the jeep and a little back down the
way you came.
/%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%\
Before going near the bike, return back to the small little stall just around
the corner from the buke and up from the truck. When you reach the stall turn
right and go down the small passage way. At the end, turn right and you will
see the fourth bronze reward. Grab it and return to the bike.
\%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%/
-{Bronze 4/8)-
Once all mercs are accounted for, proceed to the bike at the end of the path.
When Lara is close enough a cinematic will play with Lara being told mercs are
after Anaya.
[BIKE]
This sequence is rather simple. To survive, you need to fire Lara’s weapons at
the mercs that come in range of Lara’s pistol, all the while avoiding their
fire. You will see many health packs on the road. Try to run over them to pick
them up. If you have 95% health and you see a health pack ahead, use a health
pack if you have maximum already as you cannot go back for it. Remember - you
want to have the most health packs and at the same time, be the most health as
possible. Only use health packs to either pick up more health packs or if you
dip below half health. Don’t be afraid to use them if you get below half. You
want to survive - not be silly.
There isn’t anything special that happens on this section. Just drive and gun.
Try not to hit the sides or the objects in the road, including dead guys bikes.
Soon after you start, you will face a few jumps and a wall with a propane tank
in front of it, hit the interact key to shoot it and waste the wall. Note this
idea for later. When the bad guys are near a propane tank, shoot the tank to
take em out with one shot. Keep this up for a while until the road thins and
you see fire in the distance. This is a bridge that is on fire. Direct her bike
to the non fire parts of the bridge and you will notice a jump. Its a jump over
a wide chasm! On the other side of the bridge, a few trucks will come into view
in the distance. Move to the left of the road as the right hand truck will
loose it tailgate and start hurling boxes at you. Drive up the left side of the
first truck and in between the 2 right side trucks. The left front truck will
drop its tailgate too and loose some boxes. Then 2 mercs will get ready to
start pummeling Lara. Don’t let em. Move left and waste em with Lara's trusty
pistol. Once they are down, the tailgate will lower completely, allowing Lara
to ride onto the back of the truck. Drive up the ramp and a cinematic will
play. Lara jumps onto the cabin roof and do a cool matrix revolutions askew
move where she shoots her pistols into the driver of the truck whilst doing a
somersault into Anaya's jeep. Morpheus: "NICE!" Love those slow motion moves!
[DIG SITE-PAST]
NOTE: For this level only, you don’t have Lara’s Personal Light Source, instead
you have Lara’s trusty old flares from previous games. To use them, use the K
key on your keyboard. And don’t worry, they are infinite. Although you can only
have two out at a time but. Also, you don’t have any weapons or grenades. Don’t
worry you don’t have to shoot anything.
OK, Lara’s in the past, reliving the experience you had a few years back. First
off proceed down the ramp and roll under low ceiling tunnel and down the slope.
Go around the corner to the left and when you get to what seems like a
bottomless pit, run up to it and jump. You will grab hold of a pole above
Lara’s head and be ready to climb across the gap on it.
"Your lagging behind!" "Your such a tourist!" Once on the other side of the gap
go around the corner in the tunnel and face a T intersection of sorts. To the
left is a lighter tunnel and to the right is a darker tunnel. Go left first as
you cant go right for very far. Amanda will scream and run from left to right
and huge rocks will fall from the roof of the tunnel caving it in partially.
This will block Lara’s access and give you but one option. The darker tunnel.
Turn back and go through the darker tunnel until you get to the portcullis.
Roll under it and see Sarah laying there unconscious it seems.
[SARAH]
To her left is a square block just dying to be moved. Grab it and look to
Lara’s right. There is a pad in between what looks like spikes. Move the block
to the right side of the small pit with spikes on either side so that the block
is beneath the unbroken and unbent one. Jump up onto the block and jump again
onto the straight spear and swing up onto the ledge in front of Lara.
/%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%\
As soon as Lara gets onto the ledge, look to the right and at Lara's feet to
see a nice easy bronze reward. Nice and easy eh?
\%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%/
-{Bronze 5/8}-
Now to the left is some kind of artwork on the wall with a small ledge that
Lara can grip onto. Jump onto that and then onto the ledge on the other side of
the room. Proceed down here and you will come to a large put with a rope
dangling from the roof. Take note of this rope. Jump down and "My god!" there
is a dead body on the ground! And a character named Kent is calling to Lara
from the right, behind bars. Go to him and have a nice old chat. Now for a bit
of fun! Grab the big huge ball behind you, next to the spears and push it and
off the pad where the spikes are. This will release the trap and the spikes
will retract. Be careful not to step on the spikes or else Lara will be
skewered. Jump up onto the ledge behind the crane with the rope and align her
with the edge closest to the crane. Now face the rope and jump onto it. Turn
around to face Kent and start swinging. You will note a ledge higher than Kent
- jump onto this and through the open door. Drop down and a cinematic will
ensue with Kent hearing Amanda scream and chase after her. Only thing is, the
beast that appears will be chasing him and have him for lunch.
[THE BEAST]
Now a frightened Lara will back away from it and run off down the tunnel. Now
this is the next Interactive Movie event. This time a little different. You are
looking through the eyes of the beast but you control Lara. Nice eh? Believe me
I died many times because I didn’t realise I was in control of Lara. Guide here
through the tunnel and over the obstacles until you get to a pit and a rope.
Jump into the pit and the Interactive Movie will end with the beast going over
the top and missing you.
[SECOND BALL]
OK, fun over, look to the left and see a high ledge with a smaller, knee high
ledge below it. Jump onto the and see a big huge ball again. Grab the ball and
push it off the ledge and onto the floor. Drop down and push it further onto
the trap pad, activating it. But this one isn’t dangerous as it only has 2.5
spikes left. When you activate the trap the cameral will reveal that one spike
is straight and unbroken. Get back onto the ledge and onto the next higher
ledge in the middle of the room. If you got the ball in the right position,
Amanda should appear to the left behind the bars. She will sob about everyone
being dead. Soon after another guy races up to Amanda scream and she follows
suit. The beast follows them. Enough chatter! Turn right and notice the spear
the camera showed us. Jump onto it and vault onto the rope beyond it. Then
vault onto the ledge at the far end of the room.
/%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%\
When Lara is on the ledge, turn right and go around the bend. Right at Lara's
feet is the sixth bronze reward.
\%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%/
-{Bronze 6/8}-
Proceed down the tunnel, over the obstacle and enter the next room. Amanda is
there and she has found a door. Or a key to opening it.
[FLOODING ROOM]
What follows is another cinematic where Lara argues with Amanda and Amanda
attempting to pull the purple stone from the wall/door. The beast arrives and
is about to consume Lara when Amanda pulls to stone free. The beast dissipates
and vanishes. But all is not over. The room starts to cave in and water gushes
in. Lara escapes but a portcullis closes behind her. Amanda is trapped behind
the door and with her foot stuck beneath a rock. Lara attempts to hold the
portcullis up but the rising water causes her to need air and she escapes.
Amanda is last seen at the point where boulders fall on top of her.
[PRESENT DAY DIG SITE]
Lara is at the surface of the dig site remembering what happened oh so long
ago.
/%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%\
Before you go too far, have a look behind the three boxes to Lara's right.
There is the seventh bronze reward sitting on the ground there behind them.
Grab it.
\%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%/
-{Bronze 7/8}-
OK, time to finish day dreaming! Head past the old dig site and onto the
landing by the old junk. Keep going until you find water.
/%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%\
Just before you get to the pool, inside a big broken box should be the last
bronze reward of the level. Nab it.
\%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%/
-{Bronze 8/8}-
Jump in and go straight down. You will find a passage under the water which you
can go through. As you are swimming, you will see in front of Lara, some light
coming from the ceiling - that is air. Go up where the light is and grab some
air. Go back down once you are full again and proceed even further down the
tunnel.
Finally you will come to a massive room half filled with water. Below the
surface are blue light sources. These are buttons that must be pressed one
straight after another to complete the chain reaction. Duck down and press each
one all in one breath. Make sure you start this from right above the first one
to get the best possible chance of doing it in one shot. To get a little bit of
speed underwater, hold down or continuously tap the E key.
[SLOPING TUNNEL]
/#############################################################################\
In one of the dead end tunnels of the massive room, is a nice silver reward,
nab it to finish off the silver rewards for this level.
\#############################################################################/
-{Silver 2/2}-
Have a look at the door where Amanda pulled off her little purple thingy and
you will notice there is a gaping hole in it. Go through it and Lara and crew
will spin off some tale about Tiwanaku and the legend of King Arthur. Go around
this big block in front of Lara and go through the door. Ahead of Lara is a big
ass slope. Don’t bother, you cant climb up the slope. Instead look to the left
wall and see the two small white ledges that Lara can grip onto. Jump onto the
bottom one, vault onto the next one up and jump backwards onto the platform
behind Lara.
Now Turn towards the slope and Lara’s grapple indicator will light up telling
you that there is something to grapple onto. Jump and grapple so that you swing
up the slope and leap onto the landing above the slope. Notice the small
waterfall on Lara's right side. This has two small ledges rather like the two
ledges Lara just passed. Jump up and onto the ledge. Find the next grapple
point and jump, grapple and swing up onto the next landing. Go through a small
corridor and enter a massive room.
[MASSIVE ROOM]
Walk up to the pit in front of Lara and await the Interactive Movie sequence.
Lara will start walking onto the square blocks but the blocks buckle and brake
off. Lara needs to get off the squares quickly. Wait for the arrows and hit the
corresponding keys. The keys are up, up and right. On the keyboard in its
default state, its W, W and D. Lara will grab onto and launch herself onto one
of the statues to the left, and dive for the last square before the landing on
the other side, but it falls away too, but she manages to grab one hand and
then two onto the secure ledge.
[MASTER PUZZLE]
Welcome to the master puzzle of the level. Before you go too far, look left
and right. Immediately to Lara's left and right are statues. One is broke, the
other is not. That one has a big huge ball on top of it. Below that ball is a
grapple point. Grab it with Lara’s grapple and give it a good yank to send the
ball, and statue tumbling. Now grab that ball and move it down the room towards
the other end. Notice three pads on the ground. These are where three balls go.
You have one ball, one is sitting in an indentation and one is missing
somewhere. For now, place the ball in any one of the three pads and watch the
outcome.
The two side ones split apart the huge statues to the sides and light beams
come out of the statues eyes and pass above the animal statue and hit the
ground beyond it. The middle pad rises the animal statue up a bit, you will see
what this does later. Just make sure you place at least one ball on the right
pad as this allows you to get the third and final ball. Place the other ball
onto one of the pads and then proceed to climb the ladder on the right statue.
It don’t matter which pad the first or second ball is on as long as one is on
the right side pad as the left statue's ladder is broke and cannot be climbed.
Which is good since you cant get atop it anyway.
At the top of the right statue is the final ball. Once you have climbed the
ladder, you have to jump right and onto the face of the statue, then jump up
onto the top of the face. Now jump back onto the second half of the ladder and
continue climbing.
At the top, grab the ball and give it a push to get it to the floor. BOOM! Now
go back down to the floor and push the last ball onto the remaining pad to
activate the puzzle. Once activated, the middle statue opens up at the top,
above the ladder to reveal the guardian 'egg' with the ceremonial blade. Lara
examines the two pieces and notes it significance. Lara will pocked the
fragment and leave the small tunnel. She will then be notified that the
visitors have arrived and that she is eagerly awaiting to make them at home.
[ESCAPE]
At the end of the little platform and to the right, looking out into the room,
are a set of two small ledges to grab onto. Jump and grab them and vault onto
the platform. Now perform a running jump onto the stairs that are broken at the
lower half. Climb up and onto the top of the statue. Go over to the other side
and jump onto the small platform beside the statue and up onto the ledge that
goes around the bend. Continue around and along the wall, jumping across gaps
until you reach ledges below Lara. Drop down all the way until Lara is on a
platform like what she was on just before. Turn around and you will see a rope.
Don’t try this at home... jump out into thin air and grab the rope.
/$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$\
When Lara is on the rope, turn to the left and look at the opposite side wall.
You will notice a half broken platform with 2/3 ledges broken off. Climb the
rope up until Lara is level with the topmost ledge. Turn until Lara is facing
that ledge and start swinging. Make sure you get a good enough swing before
launching off the rope. If dont correctly Lara will grab hold of the ledge. If
dont incorrectly, you will be one ledge below the top one. If dont horribly
wrong... well that sucks. From the top most level, shimmy left and jump over
the broken parts of the ledge until you get to an opening above the ledge.
Jump up and onto the ledge and proceed into the tunnel. Make a right turn and
head up the slope until you reach another movable ball. Grab the ball and push
it onto the slope so it rolls down it. The ball will smash through the wall,
land on the platform below it, and then roll off and fall to the ground below.
Carefully jump down onto the platform where the ball fell from, jump across to
the right side statue and use the ladder to climb down to the floor. Now at the
bottom, grab the ball and place it next to the ball on the middle pad. This
will rise the animal in the centre even higher and reveal beneath it, the gold
reward. Grab it and then make your way all the way back to the rope. Sigh...
\$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$/
-{Gold 1/1}-
Halt Lara’s swinging and turn to face the platform to the right. Swing and jump
onto it and be prepared to start shooting the mercs on the ground below Lara’s
platform.
[NON-FLOODED ROOM]
Jump onto the slide and waste the two mercs there. Now go back down where you
came from before and waste another merc. Once you get back to the room which
was full of water, get ready to go in guns blazing. After wasting all three of
the mercs, rearm and heal and find the rope at the little waterfall. Climb up
it until you at the right height to swing onto the ledge. On the ledge go down
the passage and waste one more merc. Climb a ladder and keep climbing up until
you get to another merc. Waste him and beyond him lies the last rope. Its a
long rope but. After the long climb, there are a LOT of mercs at the old dig
site so be prepared to do a lot of gunning diving healing blah blah blah. Use
grenades if you must but waste em all. I believe there are about 12 or so of
them and a couple more on the level where the jeep is parked.
[LEVEL COMPLETE NOTES]
After they are all wasted you get a sob from Anya and some info about Lara’s
next port of call. And its a cocktail party where Lara makes her biggest
decision of the day. What to wear to the party.

BRONZE 6 %
TIME TRIAL 12:15
[INTRODUCTION]
Lara starts this level off, getting out of an elevator in one sexy
looking jet black dress. (certainly shows off her digital assets :])
She starts chatting away and eventually you are given control.
NOTE: You cannot do much, other than walk around. All her moves will
not be performed whilst in her evening dress.
[LEVEL BEGINS]
Proceed to mingle into the crowd and make your way across the dance
floor to the bartender. Interact with him and he will tell Lara where
to find Nishimura. Nishimura is in his office on the right side of the
room next to the stairs. Go through the passage way and Lara will come
to a door. Interact with the door and Nishimura will greet you. After a
brief conversation Lara will leave the room. Upon re-entering the dance
floor area, Lara is greeted by a hoard of Takamoto's thugs. A short
conversation will ensue where Lara offers to obtain the missing peice
of the 'sword' from Takamoto. Takamoto refuses and Lara is shot at.
Lara ducks beneath the bar and proceeds to do surgury on her sexy dress
to make it practical and to allow easy access to her hidden weapons.
How she hid them in that barely there dress is beyond me. She kills one
of the thugs who comes to investigate where she has gone in one shot
and jumps up and prepares to waste the other thugs.
[DANCEFLOOR]
There are about 5-6 thugs in the dance area to waste so waste away
until there are none left. To ensure you survive with the most health,
do all your tricks that you can acheive to make sure you as hard to hit
or target as possible. Even if you stuff a move up, your still moving
and therefore hard to hit. After the dust clears and they are all dead,
Nishimura will look around the corner from the passage way where his
office is to check what has happened. A brief conversation will happen
and Lara decides to attack Takamoto's sky scraper from the top.
After Lara has finished talking, grab and health kits or weapons you
spot on the ground and proceed to the elevator which is on the opposite
side of the dance floor to Nishimura's office. After she awaits the
elevator to reach the top floor she will exit and stand in front of a
glass enclosed room. Walk up to the room to find a nice looking bike.
Ducati of course. That is Lara's ride to be. To get to it we have to
exit the room and go outside.
To the left is the exit, so head through it and immediately after
exiting, turn right and you will notice that a small gas bottle with
the old exclamation mark which represents 'destroyable object' which
means blow it up from a safe distance! When it blows up it will take
with it the enclosure that a drain pipe was covered in. Now climb that
drain pipe, jump to the platform to the right of Lara at the top and
jump up onto the roof.
[ROOF]
Once on the very roof you can use the RAD mode of the binocs to see
that a movable section of the glass roof exists right in the middle.
/%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%\
Before hopping down into the room with the bike, go up to the top most
part of the glass roof and jump up on the higher section of the roof.
On it you will find a wooden box, shoot it with Lara's guns and grab
the first bronze reward. Head back down to the glass roof.
\%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%/
-{Bronze 1/6}-
Go to the left of this peice and grapple and yank it. It will slide
across giving Lara access to the room with the bike. Jump down into the
room, go down the flight of stairs and mount the bike.
/%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%\
Just before you mount the bike, check behind the box with two chairs
sitting beside it. There is a bronze reward sitting just behind them.
\%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%/
-{Bronze 2/6}-
/#############################################################################\
On the opposite wall are 5 boxes tightly packed on the floor. Right in
the middle of them lies the first silver reward of the level.
\#############################################################################/
-{Silver 1/4}-
Now for some fun! Slowly take the bike out of the room via the glass
door that Lara could not pass through from the other side, turn right
and exit the room and out into the cold air of the night. I say slowly,
as hitting something at anything faster than a crawl causes Lara
damange or at high speeds, kills her. Take the bike out and around the
top of the building and you will notice a ramp that ends abruptly. Now
for some crazy shit! Take a small run up (this thing does 0-60 in like
jack-shit time!) and run up and onto the ramp.
[SKY SCRAPER HOP]
OK another interactive movie sequence. Whilst in the air, Lara will see
a horizontal pipe, and grapples onto it. Next she will release her
grapple after the bike crashes into the wall and will land just before
the wall. Finally she will notice the gas bottles start to fizzle and
burn and jump off the platform and onto a side platform to the left.
Now to accomplish this, at the prompts, press up or W, to grapple the
horizontal pole, down or S, to release the grapple and finally, left or
A to jump off the platform and onto a smaller platform.
Phew! That was close! Right, now face the planks of wood and horizontal
pole along the side of the building and jump onto the pole and swing up
and onto the platform at the same hieght as the pole.
/%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%\
On the lower level planks of wood, at the very end is a small wooden
crate which holds a bronze reward. Grab it and go back and up a level
to continue.
\%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%/
-{Bronze 3/6}-
From there, continue on the wooden planks and jump across the gap. Whip
out Lara's guns and fire at the sparkling circle ring that holds the
glass window in place, sending it falling all the way down the the
ground below. Now jump onto the next wooden plank and keep going until
you reach the end. If you look up, you will see a black line running
across the huge gap to the opposite building. Jump straight up and Lara
will grab onto the line and flying fox style zoom across the expanse
and land on the platform right beside the next building. (Dont try that
at home boys and girls!)
On the next platform you will see a small platform which is a little
too far to jump to. Never fear! Grapple hook is here! Grapple the
platform and give it a yank to send it swinging toward you in a back
and forth motion. Time it right and jump onto the platform. Its not
hard, trust me. Do the same with the next platform and you will come to
the corner of the building. Take a running jump out into thin air and
press the grapple key when it lights up with the prompt. Once grappled
to the overhanging metal thingy, stop your swinging. Turn around to the
right and a platform (which is solid) will be waiting for Lara. Swing
up and onto that and grab the next two platforms with the grapple the
same way you just did the previous two. At the final movie platform
take arunning jump into thin air and press the grapple key to start
swinging from some metallic object above Lara. Stop your swing and turn
right to notice a broken section of fencing where Lara can swing up and
onto the landing there. Once onto the landing get Lara's guns ready.
[TAKAMOTO'S BUILDING]
After walking forward a couple steps, Lara is greeted by a sight of 3
or more of Takamoto's thugs casually walking out into the terrace. Get
out Lara's guns or assault rifle and prepare to do some serious
brawling. Be warned about the two dogs that come after Lara, they are
pretty pathetic as an enemy but can really chew you up if you only
concentrate on the thugs. Waste the dogs first (poor dogs) and then the
thugs. Use the destroyable objects that surround the garden in the
centre of the courtyard to either hurt or kill the thugs whilst jumping
and rolling about. Another good idea would be to initiate the fight
with a nice grenade to soften them up.
Once they have been dealt with go down to the other end of the
courtyard and there should be a door to the right. Go through here and
immediately in front of Lara is a set of stairs.
/%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%\
Go down the stairs and look on the ground. There will be a wooden crate
which can be destroyed to reveal a bronze reward. Go back up the stairs
after you grab it.
\%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%/
-{Bronze 4/6}-
/#############################################################################\
Climb three flights of stairs until you come to a dead end. On the
right side is a part of the side fencing which is broken, allowing
access to the piping beyond. Jump down onto the piping, follow it
around until it comes to a wall. At the wall, further along it, is a
ledge that Lara needs to jump to. On the ledge shimmy along until you
reach its end, then jump backwards and from this set of piping, follow
it until you see a wooden box, shoot it and reveal a silver reward.
Jump back onto the ledge and drop down to a ledge below that one.
Release the grip and then turn right and proceed through the doors.
\#############################################################################/
-{Silver 2/4}-
Climb the stairs and turn right and through the doors and into
the next room. There are a few of Takamoto's thugs in here waiting for
some target practice. Throw a grenade or two to soften them up before
bringing out Lara's trusty duel pistols or assault rifle to bear. After
wasting all of the thugs - I believe there are about 6 or so - go and
inspect the large wall tv that takes up most of the opposite wall.
/%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%\
Before you tangle with the tv, go to the far left corner. There is a
wooden box that can be destroyed. Shoot it to reveal a bronze reward.
\%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%/
-{Bronze 5/6}-
/#############################################################################\
After you finished off all the thugs with guns, go up to the slightly
higher level and keep going until you find two lockers. Open the left
one to reveal a nice shiny silver reward.
\#############################################################################/
-{Silver 3/4}-
Notice how the very middle of it is shiny? Grapple it and give it a tug
to pull it off the wall. It will sway a short way before coming to a
halt. Give a little bit more of a convincing with Lara's guns by
shooting the support clamps on either top corners to send it flying
downwards.
Once the tv is down, go up onto either of the short stairs that lead to
a locked door and jump from the stairs to the back of the now fallen
tv. There are two more thugs on the little area behind the tv so be
prepared to waste them as fast as possible as they are partially
covered but the hieght of the tv.
After polishing off the two thugs you will notice a small door directly
opposite the large tv. Go through this door and do a 180 to face the
master puzzle of this level.
[MASTER PUZZLE]
Ahh now this looks complicated, you say! Actually no its not really, as
there is only one way to skin this cat, it makes it far less difficult
than the previous two master puzzles. The fact is, its linear - there
is only one way to do it and its pretty obvious every step of the way.
Well lets get on with it shall we.
To the left side of the door, as Lara exits the room, is a pipe that
goes upwards. Climb it as far as Lara will go, then look at the small
box to her right and jump to it. Lara will cling onto the side of it.
Shimmy around the side of it and jump up and onto the platform above
her. Then turn left to see the next platform which is on its end and
needs to be moved. Grapple the shiny part of it and give it a yank. It
will swing on its axis and lock into the flat horizontal position. Now
run up and jump onto the end of it. Lara will grab onto the edge of it.
Pull her up and move to the other end of the platform.
Jump to the next platform in her current direction and then climb the
ladder to the next level up. Turn around and notice the next shiny area
of the up ended platform. Grapple it and pull it to give Lara a
horizontal bar with which to jump onto and swing onto the platform
beyond it. On that platform is a vertical pipe. Once at the top of that
pipe, turn around and see the small platform with which to jump to.
After successfully jumping to that platform, look beyond it to see yet
another vertical piping just off to the left. At the top of that pipe,
if you look back the other direction you will notice a horizontal pipe
on the bottom side of the up ended platform. Jump onto this and the
platform will swiverl up and end up horizontal. Once its in place jump
back to the vertical piping and climb up again. At the top of the pipe,
jump onto the now horizontal platform but beware! The other side of
this platform acts like a pendulum. If Lara hangs too long on the other
end of the platform, it will turn back vertical and Lara will fall. And
fall a great distance down. So keep moving whilst you jump from that
platform to the next.
Now comes a little tricky part. The piping in front of Lara is not
entirely secure. And neither are the next railings that Lara will need
to jump to. At the very top of this pipe, look back across the building
and jump to one horizontal railing after another with no misses or else
Lara will fall to her death. Just jump straight to the first one as
soon as your at the top, swing once and jump to the next one and so on
until Lara is on the balcony.
[TAKAMOTO'S HOME]
OK time for some killin to happen. Revenge for having to take the
dangerous route. Enter the building and take a look at the bad guys who
have their backs to Lara. Move to the edge of the stairs and grab
Lara's assault rifle. Notice the chandelier above their heads? Hehe
guess what buddies?! Shoot the chandelier with the E or interact key to
send the chandelier crashing onto their heads. LOL!
Instead of going down the steps, go immediately right and around
the bend to shoot up the thugs that would snipe you from a balcony if
you had went down the stairs. Once they are taken care of, there are
only two out of the four down the bottom left to kill. Jump down and
waste em only Lara knows how.
/%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%\
Before you hop down to the lower level, there is a wooden box with a
bronze reward in it. Shoot it to get the reward.
\%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%/
-{Bronze 6/6}-
/#############################################################################\
Before you leave this area, check in the little room in the corner of
the room. One of the cupboards contains a silver reward, the last one
of the level.
\#############################################################################/
-{Silver 4/4}-
OK now in the next room, which is shaped like an L, there is a death
trap with an easy fix. At the middle of the L is a ball, and below the
L is a small room with computers and a button on the wall. The button
activates the sprinkler system and illuminates the infrared laser trip
wires across the hall at the top of the L. The computers will allow you
to view security cameras around there area. At the top of the L shaped
room is a sentry gun. If Lara was to move into the laser trip wires,
the gun would track her and shoot her. To fix this, grab the ball and
move it in front of you whilst you go through the trip wires. The gun
will fire, but the rounds will only hit the ball, not Lara.
After you have finished going through the trip wires, the gun will
cease fire and go silent. Brilliant!
Go around the bends and into the next room to notice a big huge dragon
above a long table. There is a trick to this little dragon. As you
enter the room, Takamoto will yell at Lara from behind the glass. Lara,
as usual gets her wise cracking tongue out and fires Takamoto up. As
soon as the cinematic is over, three thugs will enter the room from the
opposite direction. All of em are shotgun weilding ones, so stay out of
range and pound them. After they drop, jump onto the table and look for
the shiny metal object underneath the dragon. From a position below its
tail section, and facing its front end, grapple the dragon and give it
a good solid yank. The dragon will swing and just manage to smash the
glass. Ahh the exit to the room!
Climb up and onto this new level and go around the bend, ignoring the
elevator for an instant. Around the bend and on a table are three guns,
collect them if you need the ammo.
/$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$\
Just before leaving this little room, grab the big reddish box that
looks like a chest of drawers or something like that. Bring it all the
way back to the elevator. Push it over the edge and watch it drop. When
it smashes open, it will reveal the gold reward for this level! Well
done!
\$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$/
-{Gold 1/1}-
Grab and ammo you find and if you find any health kits about, replenish
your stock. If you have 95% health and the max of 3 med packs, use one
and collect another off the ground. The next bit you will probably need
every inch of life. Enter the elevator when done.
[TAKAMOTO]
As soon as Lara exist the elevator Takamoto explains his story of the
sword fragment. Lara cares not and explain thus. Unfortunately Takamoto
then explains why it is so prized by him. With a physical demonstration
of course! He launches a bolt of green energy from the sword
fragment/staff at Lara and races off. Lara dodges the bolt and control
is then given to you.
As soon as you have control, move Lara behind one of the big ass
statues and then climb the pole that lies behind each one. There are
guns on the lower level which automatically target and fire at Lara, so
speed is of importance here. As soon as you are at the top of the pole,
jump backwards and she will be on the same level as Takamoto. Whip out
your guns if he is near enough for a red targeting reticle to appear on
him and fire. If not holster them as they slow you down. Remember,
which Takamoto, speed is of the essence.
Now the trick to winning over this guy, is the fact that he fires 3
types of green bolts - one at head hieght which you roll to avoid - one
at knee hieght which you can easily jump over - and a vertical one
which Lara needs to side step or run to the side to avoid. Try to avoid
as many as possible as they take about 1/4 to 1/3 of Lara's health off
each hit.
Now, when you are up at his hieght, race up to about 10m from him and
pull out your assault machine gun and pummel him with everything Lara
has. Always be aware to avoid the green bolts in the described ways.
Roll for the one at head hieght and jumping the ones at knee hieght. If
you get too close, Takamoto will launch a vertical green bolt at Lara
which you need to side step to avoid. Follow these steps and he
shouldnt be too hard. Remember, this guide is designed for the hardest
difficulty. So if I can relatively easily kill him consecutively, it
shouldnt be too hard for you either. Just keep in mind that avoiding
his green bolts is more important than scoring hits on him.
[LEVEL COMPLETE NOTES]
After Takamoto is lying on the ground dying, he curses Lara but she
just ignores him. She grabs the staff, snaps it in half and suddenly
notices Nishimura in a helicopter above the building waving to her.
Lara grabs onto the rope ladder and climbs aboard. Zip tells her that
Rutland is in Ghana, Africa and that may be her next port of call.

[INTRODUCTION]
As soon as the cinematic finishes, move Lara down the path until she
stands before a huge drop into a small bay with an enourmous and
beautiful waterfall. A cinematic will play with Lara gorging her eyes
on the beautiful sight. After a moment, Lara will catch a glimpse of
Rutlands helicopter and the game will be on.
[MECHANISM]
Now, perform a nice swan dive all the way down into the pool at the
bottom and come back up for air. As soon as Lara is at the surface move
her to the middle island and climb up.
/%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%\
Before you get too engrossed in the mechanism thingy on the island, in
the pool at the bottom, are two bronze rewards - one is on the right
side of the island. Jump in and swim down to it.
\%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%/
-{Bronze 1/5}-
/%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%\
The other bronze reward in the pool, is the on the other side of the
island in the pool at the bottom. Jump in and swim down to that one
too. Swim back to the island for now.
\%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%/
-{Bronze 2/5}-
There are two platforms to the right side - one above the other. Climb
them and at the top of the second one jump to the small rope in the
middle of the mechanism thingy. Lara's miniscule weight will pull down
the latch securing the wall thingy in place. Once that is done, release
the rope and then grapple the top shiny bit of the wall thingy and give
it a good pull.
It will turn over and a cinematic will play with the entire wall of
water on the waterfall parting to reveal a gigantic temple. Very
impressive! After a few seconds, Rutland will appear on a distant level
up on the temple and have a good old chat with Lara. Lara will beckon
for him to come down and chat where she is, but of course, he refuses.
/#############################################################################\
Before you go into the temple itself, move onto the bridge thingy Lara
pulled down, and jump off to either side. Swim beneath the bridge and
you will see a small tunnel below the island. Swim into it and you will
see the first silver reward. Nab it and either turn around and get back
onto the bridge or keep swimming forward and get out that way.
\#############################################################################/
-{Silver 1/4}-
[TEMPLE]
Go into the temple and down the steps turning right at the bend. When
you come to a pool of water, look into the distance. You will notice
some ropes and a small raft. The raft can be grappled. Do so and pull
it all the way to Lara. Jump aboard and then run and jump to the nearby
rope. Swing on that rope until you can successfully jump to the next
from. From that rope swing and jump to the solid ground beyond.
At the other end, go down the corridor and around the bend. Up the
stairs and through the doorwar. Keep going around the bend until you
come to some weird looking horizontal spikes sticking out from the
wall. This is actually a trap that has been stopped mid action. But
something is holding up the works. We will find out soon enough. Jump
over them and continue down the hall and turn right. More suspended
traps. Jump and roll past them. You will notice that Lara stepped on a
pressure plate that opened the door. You need to be quick getting past
the suspended spikes before the door closes. Roll past the door if you
must.
[MERC CAMP]
As soon as you are past the door, run behind the wall of boxes before
Lara is seen. Plan your attack on the group of mercs and then race
across the bridge to the right. You need to get to the far side as soon
as possible because they have a fixed gun up on the upper platform
which they can bring to bear on Lara when she is seen.
A good little trick is to use the explosive barrel at the other side to
take out a few mercs in one shot. Wait until the merc are the bottom
moves as close to that barrel as possible then aim precisely at the
barrel and with one or two shots BOOM! One merc dead by the explosion
and a second or third from the ensuing collaplse of the level above!
As soon as you start shooting, the mercs will fire back. There are two
at the bottom right, three at the second level - one will use the heavy
machine gun emplacement - and one that wanders across the bridge and
back to the barrel below the second level. Waste em all on the ground
and move up to the landing on the right side of the second level. Climb
up an turn left to face the last two on this side. After they have been
dealt with, grab the gun emplacement and fire on the two new mercs that
have appeared from where Lara came from. Waste em all and enjoy it.
/%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%\
On the landing which you just climbed up onto, there is a bronze reward
staring Lara in the face. Show it whos boss by grabbing it.
\%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%/
-{Bronze 3/5}-
Now you can either use the machine gun emplacement to shoot the pillar
next to the blocked up water wheel thingy or use the rope to swing a
boot it onto the wheel. Either way a cinematic will show the pillar
hitting the wheel, the other pillar breaking, the spikes in the tunnel
where Lara came from moving again, and a tunnel up higher with spikes
that are not moving. If you are on the rope swing and jump to the
wheel. If not, jump onto the rope and swing to the wheel anyway. Wait
until you are right at the other side of the wheel by simply hanging on
and when the wheels spin starts to move Lara away from the far rope,
jump to it.
[TROLLEY]
On the rope, jump to the nearby platform and turn right. You will
notice a kind of trolley hanging from the ceiling. Grapple it and pull
it towards Lara. Jump on and then grapple the solid metal barrel on the
next platform ahead. When in range, jump to the platform.
Now since the works arent working, we need to go and make it work! Turn
around and then jump to the rope. Swing and jump to the waterwheel
(which has not got water!) and then swing and jump to the other side
of the wheel. Now swing and jump to the ridged ladder and start
climbing up.
Once at the top, find the next ridged ladder and climb that up as far
as it goes and find the ledge to the left of the ladder and jump to it.
Once on the ledge shimmy around a little to the left and jump up to the
ledge directly above it. Now shimmy around the corner and position Lara
below the rung ladder, ready to jump up to it.
On this ladder, continue up and rise up to the level above it. Once up
in the spillway, continue down the corridor and stop at the end of the
level. Whip out Lara's guns and look for the dangerous creature below.
Shoot it and jump down into the area below. Notice the small raft on
the ground to Lara's diagonal left.
[SPILLWAY]
OK, turn Lara around to the right and find the small steps that have
been broken off half way. Go to these and jump up and climb onto the
top of these. Go down the other side of the steps and around the bend.
/%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%\
Just on the corner around the bend is the fourth bronze reward. Grab it
and continue around the bend.
\%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%/
-{Bronze 4/5}-
On the bend you will notice a couple blocks, this is a stepping stone
for where you have to go. Go around the back of them and climb on top
to find a suspended pair of huge blocks. Jump to the first and wait
until the second block rises to about head hieght before jumping up
onto it. The reason for waiting is obvious once you are on the second
block. You now have access to the ridged ladder beyond it. As soon as
possible, jump up onto the ridged ladder and rise up onto the level
above it.
Once at the top a small cinematic will play showing the water, pully
system, spillway gate, second raft, rope for the pully system and the
exit which Lara came from.
From where Lara is, turn around to the left and notice the pillar has a
small ledge for which Lara may grab onto. Jump to it and shimmy around
the corner. Release her grip and she will fall to the ledge below it
and grab onto it. Look to the left and find the next ledge with which
Lara can jump to. Release her grip when she is on that ledge and she
will grab onto the next ledge down. Finally, release her grip again and
she will fall to the floor.
[RAFTING]
Turn around and you will see a small raft - the second raft we saw
before. Grapple it to bring it closer to Lara and jump onto it. Once on
the raft, look for the pillar with the metal lining. Grapple it and
pull Lara towards it. Once Lara is on the move, look through the
opening to the left - the raft will drift through it anyway. Once
through the opening look for the next pillar to grapple.
/#############################################################################\
Just before Lara jumps onto the platform from the raft, jump into the
water and, when looking at the metallic pillar, if you look diagonally
back to the left, across the pool, is a low ledge that Lara can climb
out of water. Go there, turn around to the right and up on the higher
level is a silver reward. Go back to the second metallic pillar when
your done.
\#############################################################################/
-{Silver 2/4}-
When Lara is close enough to the platform that is next to the metallic
lined pillar, jump to it. Look to the left wall and find the ridged
ladder leading up into the distance. Climb this ladder to the very top
and be prepared to do a blind jump. I had to release the direction keys
and press jump to make a successful backwards jump onto the suspended
block so maybe you might have to do the same. Once on the block await
the correct hieght of the next block like before and once it reaches
head hieght, jump onto it. As soon as Lara is on this block, like
before, run up and jump onto the ladder or the platform above it
directly.
/%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%\
When Lara gets onto the next platform, just behind a pillar is a bronze
reward. Nab it and continue.
\%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%/
-{Bronze 5/5}-
As soon as Lara is on the platform the grapple swing icon should
appear, indicating that Lara may grapple and swing from a metallic item
above the next gap. Run and jump/grapple swing to the next platform. On
this platform, you will see another pillar with a groove in it that
Lara can jump to and hang from. On that ledge, go around the corner and
drop to the ledge below it. Around the bend on this pillar, jump up to
the ledge above it and then backwards onto the ledge directly behind
Lara. Shimmy around the corner and onto the ledge on the wall itself.
Drop down a level and move right, jumping across the broken gap. Once
at the end of this ledge, jump up to the ledge above it and then jump
right and onto the platform beyond.
[SMALL PUZZLE]
On this platform is a pressure button that activates a mechanism on the
statue beside the platform. The mechanism is in fact some form of
restraints on the statue. Apply pressure and the restrain closest to
the button will release, allowing movement. Also applying pressure to
the plate turns the platform beneath the corresponding restraint. For
the one closest to Lara, it will turn over, dropping its block to the
floor below, turn one more time and stop.
Once the moving platform has ceased movement - face it and run/jump to
it and without delay, jump to the solid platform beyond. Once on this
platform, jump to the next moving platform and again to the solid
platform beyond that. On this platform, you will notice another
pressure plate but also a small movable block. Grab this block and move
it onto the nearby button and watch the outcome.
The closest restraint will open and the platform before it will turn
over. Once it has finished turning over, jump to the platform with the
first button. Jump on it and release the other restraint. As soon as
its all the way open, race to the middle platform in front of the
statue and grapple the small circle in the middle of its chest and yank
it as far as it will go. You dont have a lot of time to acheive this
before one of the restrainst closes again so be fast.
Once this has been acheived, a short cinematic will play, showing the
water, which is now rising enough to start pouring all the way back to
the water wheel back near the start of the temple.
Move to the far button platform with the block on it and turn the
right. If you look a little lower you will notice two more blocks
suspended from the roof. Jump to the first, await the second before
jumping to it, and finally to the ridged ladder and up onto that level.
Now, basically jump into the water from here and make your way all the
way back to the water wheel which now has water. Since you already know
the steps involved in getting where Lara is now so I wont bother giving
surpurfluous information.
[RETURN TO THE WHEEL]
Once back at the ridged ladder before the water wheel, climb down it
and near the bottom a small cinematic will play with the spiked trap
now active. Wonderful. Jump to the wheel, across it to the other side,
onto the rope and onto the platform beyond.
OK this part is a little tricky but can easily be solved. It involves
spike traps and spinning blades. The spike traps involves timing.
Observe the timing of the spikes and start moving Lara as soon as the
spikes are just starting to move. Do a roll to make sure that Lara
passes unharmed. Once past the spikes, its the spinning blades. This
one looks tricky but a sly bit of thinking solves this without breaking
a sweat. Just before the blades is a large block - grab it and move it
into the blades. Cha-ching! The blades hit it and cease spinning. Be
careful not to go to far or the blades will touch Lara from behind. As
soon as all or just one side of the trap has ceases spinning, jump onto
the block and proceed past them. Keep going past the stairs and bends
until the next spinning blades trap. This time the block is sitting in
the wall just before the bend in the corridor. Grab it and move it into
the blades just far enough to stop all or one side of them. Jump onto
it as before and leave em in Lara's dust. Now comes another of those
interactive movie sequences where Lara is controlled by you but your
vision is attached to the dangerous object. This time its a bug huge
ball AKA Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark. Do just as
Doctor Jones does and race through all the dead traps. Immediately move
to the right side of the corridor and jump the dead spike trap. Then
move to the other side of the corridor and roll beneath the dead spike
trap. Now race to the small gap further down and jump over it. From
then on a cinematic will play with Lara racing through the gap beyond
the pit of spikes and diving to the side allowing the ball to pass by
her safely. "I've missed Ghana!"
/#############################################################################\
On this platform where the ball went flying off the edge, you will
notice on its way down it knocked a small peice of rock off a platform
below the one Lara is on. This is a hint. Look to the left and you will
see a ridged ladder going down. If you go down it, and search the area
below, you will find a nice silver reward. NICE!
\#############################################################################/
-{Silver 3/4}-
[POST BALL]
OK, on the platform Lara is on now, there is a pole sticking out from
the wall to the right of it. Jump to it and then jump to the small
ledge beyond. Once on it go around the bend by shimmying and jump up to
the level above it. Go around the bend and jump across the gap,
backwards, onto the ledge opposite Lara. Very quickly jump up to the
ledge above Lara and jump backwards onto the horizontal pole before
Lara is crushed beneath a falling rock.
Swing to the next pole and onto the next ledge. Lara will attempt to
contact Zip again but will not succeed. Unforunately neither Zip nor
Allister are able to reply. Turn right on the platform and jump to the
suspended trolley. From this, jump to the platform slightly below Lara.
The trolley will lower slightly, allowing Lara to easily jump onto the
level from where she is. Run and jump onto the next trolley and then
onto the next level platform.
Turn around to the right and jump to the horizontal pole, then the
ledge right next to it. Shimmy around the bend and jump up to the ledge
above it. Now be quick as another rock is ready to drop onto Lara, so
quickly shimmy right and jump onto the awaiting horizontal pole. Jump
from this pole, to the next one across and slightly above, then back to
the pole slightly higher and to the left.
Finally jump onto the awaiting ledge and very quickly move around the
bend before the falling rock pounds Lara from above. Jump to the ledge
above this one and go around the bend again. Finally jump from this
ledge to the opposite platform which, thankfully is fully solid.
Go into the tunnel entrance and down the steps. A cinematic will play
with Lara recovering one of her parent's little medallions and again
attempts to contact Zip. No luck still. Proceed down the corridor.
[DARK TUNNEL]
Turn the Personal Light Source on and be wary of pits. There are two of
them, and Lara must grapple swing across both of them. Do so and
eventually you will come across a bridge with 3 mercs guarding it.
Waste them and cross the bridge. Heal/re-arm and continue down the
passage and finally out into another open area.
Once Lara is outside again, turn right and jump straight onto the
horizontal pole and then the next one in the line. From that one, jump
to the ledge nearby.
/#############################################################################\
From this ledge, you should be able to jump across to the ledge on the
other side of the small waterfall coming out of a pipe. When you reach
it, let go. Keep Lara where she is and look to the left of the ledge
Lara was just on. There is a door of some kind. Not for long. Throw a
grenade to blow it away. When its gone, there is a silver reward just
behind the door. Grab it and move back across the small waterfall and
onto the original ledge.
\#############################################################################/
-{Silver 4/4}-
Now go up one ledge, go around the bend, up another 2 ledges, around a
corner, up one more ledge and backwards jump onto a horizontal pole.
Jump to the next pole in the line and then finally onto a platform
beyond. Now for some fun. Walk up to the barrels and grapple every one
on the other bank of the river. Yank em all and ungrapple when they are
in the water. Do this to all of them on the other side of the river.
Now cross the bridge and do the same again. The reason for this will be
apparent shortly.
[BIG WATERFALL]
Get ready for some gunnin. Go to the steps on the wall side of the
river and pass down in the gap and start pummeling the mercs. there is
a miniboss merc here and he has a brand new gun. Dont attack until you
can get a red reticle as you are simply wasting too many bullets when
the reticle is grey. Just keep murdering them until the three mercs on
your part of the area are gone. Now keep going down here until you
reack a box at the end of the platform. From here you should be able to
get a red reticle for the merc and miniboss merc on the platform beyond
the gap. If not move out of sight and back again. Now comes the pain
the butt part. The barrels you pulled into the river destroyed the crap
the mercs had dangling from the ropes. Thus allowing you to do the
unthinkable. Jump out into nothingness and onto those two ropes. Jump
to the first and then the second and finally onto the platform beyond.
Once on this platform, turn left and go over the small bridge. Grab the
new gun if you like but it will most likely only have 3 rounds so be
prepared to go back for your previous gun or salvage a gun from a merc.
Go into the tunnel and waste another leopard. Go to the left stairs and
climb up the broken part. Another ball will fall down the stairs.
Either jump downwards to the right or move Lara to the left wall to
avoid it. Now jump to the rope in the middle of the room. Either jump
to the opposite stairs or back up to the previous stairs a little
higher up. At the top is a button that opens the door when pressure is
constantly applied to it. Jump on it and wait until its all the way up.
/$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$\
Just before you enter the next room, that big ass door you passed just
before, the one behind the rope? Well that button dont just open the
small door next to the button! It opens the big ass door below! Go down
and enter it. As long as you get in you wont be locked in or out. Grab
the gold reward to finish off this levels rewards.
\$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$/
-{Gold 1/1}-
When you enter the room, Rutland greets you and begins his monologue.
The anger in Lara's eyes is obvious. Time to do battle.
[RUTLAND]
OK now the trick with Rutland is his ability to heal himself. To heal
himself, he jumps onto a platform and initiates the healing process.
What actually heals him are little nodes on the underside of those four
platforms. These platforms are lightly protected from damange by a
layer of rock. Now heres the trick. Blast the rock away, then grapple
and yank the nodes from the platforms and voila! 1 less healing
platform. Trouble is Rutland moves about all the time and attempts to
attack you with his peice of the sword. As well as this he throws
grenades at you. 1 to three at a time. First off, whilst he is away
from Lara blast one of the protective shields from the nodes and yank
it off. Now start back on Rutland. He will retire from the fight and
heal himself on the platform. Use this time to either waste all the
shields at once then yank them all one after another or do each node
seperately. Its up to you. Just dont let Rutland get close and watch
out for the grenades.
[LEVEL COMPLETE NOTES]
Lara is not too happy with Rutland and says that the next time Lara and
Rutland meet, she will not be in a happy mood. :) Zip finally reaches
Lara and communicates some information about what happened. Its off to
the cold places of the world. Lara speeds off on her bike toward her
new goal. Kazakhstan.

[INTRODUCTION]
Hello and welcome to sunny alice springs! After a brief talk to Zip and
co, Lara comes to a break in a wire fence and looks down upon the
mayhem unfolding below. The mercs of the previous couple encounter
