Outside Looking In
Lara starts outside
and the only thing to do here is run straight, while gathering some flares,
shotgun and shooting some ninjas (one leaves some shotgun ammo
behind). There are some openings left and right, take the second one on the
right and get the Laser Sight. The second on the left is empty. Now take
the first opening on the right, straight to the wall is a crawlspace. Pick up a
small medipack in the corner and flip that lever there. In the room,
there is nothing down those stairs and the same for the room opposite.
So better go to the
building (W). Run around that building, first open the trapdoor behind the
building, nothing to do here just yet and then keep going west and then south
now and enter those open doors.
When you are at the
water there, a ninja will appear and at the SW corner there are arrows,
the ninja leaves some flares though.
Get in the water, lots
of openings there and the west side has a closed gate.
East
Swim in and take first
opening right, this room has four blocks, with shotgun ammo in the SW
corner and a lever in the NE corner (camera) and this also triggers some bats.
So back in the water, to the pool and swim straight through. Go right, you are
in a room that is very empty and has a wide corridor on the west. A croc is approaching
and after killing it go around the corner. A golden door is still closed. Down
is a pool and around the ledge is another room with some vases. When you are
near the vases a ninja shows up. Pick up the revolver from the pedestal
and shoot a croc. On the other pedestal are some arrows.
Dive in the pool down
below, you can open the door underwater, but a bit further is a closed trapdoor
so better climb out and on the west, the gate opens and right around the corner
on the north wall is a jump switch. You hear a trapdoor opening. Go up the ramp
and you are back where you climbed out of the water. Back in the pool down
below, as the trapdoor there is open now. Swim up and end up in a room with
five levers. Four of them are traps, so take the first one (E) opposite the
waterhole. The door opens and a flyby shows you the next room. Out the door,
right, left, left and in the other door. This room has six Sacred Gems
and five of them are traps. Take the last one (W). A croc is nosing around. Get
back out and find the waterhole in the SE corner. Swim back and now go to the
south.
South
Swim in and almost at
the end, also through some greenery, swim up. There is another opening to swim
through in the beginning, but that has a trapdoor (closed). Room with four
Shivas and one golden gate, closed. A medipack on a pedestal. Facing
west is an iron closed gate. In the corridor to that room is on the south wall
a crawlspace. Get down and slide down.
Lava room
Running jump to the
first pillar, standing jump to the next and a running jump towards the arrows
there. Stand with your face to the tile with a face on it and do a safety drop,
let go and grab the jump lever. A block rises from the lava floor, jump to the
wall and climb up. Enter the opening and go left. Shoot the barrier, jump over
and left again and use the lever there (camera shot). Out of the corridor and
jump down, over the hole in the floor, and at the end pick up some grenade
ammo. Climb up and up again and watch out as when you start climbing the
stairs there, a boulder comes crashing down. Just take a back jump and run
forward into the corridor left. Up the stairs over the two holes. Follow
through and you are in a room with four Shivas.
Watch out for the croc
and go into the corridor right (E). Go straight into the next room and climb
the stairs. Pick up the Crossbow and that wakes up some skeletons. Next
pedestal has the Sacred Gem, but better approach this one from the
stairs. Another two skeletons are awake and a ninja will appear. In the NW corner
of the other room is the Grenade Launcher. The gate is open again and
back in the water.
Now swim west but go
left (S) and place the Gems. Using the lever in there gives you a camera shot
of another trapdoor, so back into the water. Swim to the south and now the
first opening in the ceiling up, this one is also nicely hidden between some
greenery. Pick up some ammo and use the lever opposite the ammo. A flyby
of a burning Knot. Back in the water and now swim north.
North
Swim in and almost at
the end through some greenery, up. Room with a burning Knot that isn’t burning
anymore. Two golden gates are closed, but open the minute you pick up the Pharos
Knot. And some crocs come out.
Right one (W) 2 closed gates, left one closed gate on the right and left a room
with a trapdoor and further a room with lava and a ramp. A ninja will show his
face. In the opening in the middle of the floor is a jump lever. Now go to the
lava pool and a block appeared there. A running jump let you across the lava
pool; the golden gate opens and switch the lever. Camera of the trapdoor. The
other golden gate is open as well and follow through and you are back at the
room of the Knot.
Straight again and
left is the room with the trapdoor. Once up pick up the Crowbar (another
camera of a door). Jump down and go south, right and straight into the other
golden gate, and left (S) and around the corner another lever. See the flyby
and back to the room into the other corridor, right (S) and follow through.
Down and watch out for a ninja, up and keep going, up again and you climb out
of the trapdoor.
Place the Knot, a
camera shows the door on the other side of this building being opened.
At the end of this
room is a Golden Star, get it and the door downstairs opens.
Downstairs there is nothing right, and left is a room where you can place the
Star. Camera from a door outside. Two skeletons and a ninja attack. Go back and
go west this time. Around the corner, down and up, out of another trapdoor. The
gate is on the east. Of course there are ninjas around, but climb the stairs
and end up in a room with pushable pillars and golden gates.
Get the pillars on
their tiles (see ceiling) and gates open. In the NE corner is a trapdoor, open
it.
First enter north wall
right door. In the room jump to the first column, face west and jump with grab
and end up in a small opening. Use the lever there and jump back to the column,
it is climbable. The door in the SE corner is open.
Keep jumping to the last
column and be sure your health is up as I jumped down where that open gate is
and I am nor sure if that was intended. You get in a room and climb that
central structure all the way up, a standing jump to the ledge, three running
jumps to the other ledges and jump up and climb on the last one. Standing jump
and slide/jump and grab and climb up. Get down and pick the Hathor Effigy
from the pedestal. A skeletons comes and go downstairs. At the end do a safety
jump and you are back at the first column. Climb down as the back is climbable,
the whole room has changed. Face the first column west and get the Golden
Star. Climb up the column and leave the room.
Go back to the first
room with the pillars and take the other opening. A room with Shiva statues and
a pool, a ninja leaves some ammo and in the water is a croc. Swim to west
opening.
West
Go in and left and
right get out and find some shotgun ammo and lever (camera of a trapdoor
opening).
Water west again
(croc) small medipack, back out to the bigger pool, go right/left and get some
air.
North
Right and left, up,
get into crawlspace and before switch lever save, as this is a timed one. So
pull, roll jump and crouch, crawl and run and jump on first block and running
jump to the second one, climb up and jump up to the monkey climb. There you can
save. At the end is a jump lever.
Go back in the water
and climb out north and climb in the opening there. Get the Ornate Handle
and watch out for a ninja. A trapdoor opened almost at the entrance, so climb
up the ladder, around the corner and slide into the water.
Go back to the pillar
room and combine the Ornate Handle with the Hathor Effigy and use the Portal
Guardian (stand looking to the east).
Two doors open and two
ninjas appear. But before going into the corridors, jump into the trapdoor and
place the Golden Star.
In the corridor is some revolver ammo. The next room is a room full of
rocks, Take a running jump east on the first column, turn south, another
running jump to the wall, face east again and also a running jump. Now face
north and a running jump to the column there (do not use the grab key) and from
there a standing jump to the ledge.
Room with four gems
A ninja will shoot you in the back and just pick up all four Sacred
Gems and place them in the receptacles. All the doors open but three are
traps and one is save. So take the third one from the left and of course are
some ninja’s and even crocs bothering you. Also leaving some uzi ammo.
Run north, around a corner and run to the closed gate, that opens when you
approach. There is a lever north that opens the trapdoor. Jump down, slide and
follow through and two more ninjas guarding the Stone Key. The door on
the east wall opens, go in and up and when there is a block Lara needs to pull
up, turn around and use the jump lever there and now you can climb up and out
of here. Go west en enter another building. Take twice a running jump; turn
around and another running jump with a slight curve so you can do the last jump
to place the Stone Key. The door opens so jump back and once inside on the left
pick up the Witch’s Ashes and either flip back immediately or stand very
still as a boulder comes down. Behind it two ninjas. Nothing more to do than running up
the ramp.
