DIAMOND OF KASHTUK
by Peter Tedstone (Stormchaser)
Walkthrough: Jose Boo
NOTES FROM THE AUTHOR:
1 - Not all doors and areas are opening doors or accessible, as the
location area is bigger than the playing area to create a feeling of depth to
the setting.
2 - This level is set during at night and can be quite dark - there are
lots of flares littered around.
Story - The Diamond Of Kashtuk has been stolen from the British Museum
by armed thugs - Lara tracks them down to an industrial area in the middle of a
large European city.
THE FIRST GATE KEY
Go out and kill a dog and two thugs, use the crates to jump over the
cornice at the left (E) and light a flare to find some flares. Go N along the
cornice and find in the NE corner #SECRET 1: a bottle of poison (all the
secrets are bottles). Jump over the ledges to get more flares at the north side.
Go down and use the
crates again to jump over the west cornice. Walk north and at halfway pick up
the "Gate key". Go till the end to find two sets of flares in a small
room. Turn and go to the south wall behind the crates to unlock the door and
enter.
THE CROWBAR
Kill two dogs and go
to the south wall of the courtyard. Behind the crates there is a small grate.
Shoot it with your pistols and enter the crawlspace. In this place find the
crowbar (over the entrance). Go back out and jump over the south flat roof.
THE FIRST SHAFT KEY
Go right and kill the
thug. Go through the hole at the end and down into a new room. In the east side
of the central structure get the "Western Shaft Key". Over the
central structure there is a moveable piece, but I don't know its function. At
the SW corner is a shootable box which contains a new "Gate key" that
allows you to open the metal door at the NW and go out of this room. (You can
also jump from the central structure to the hole you had entered before and go
around the building to the other side of the metal door).
THE JEEP
Face left and open the
door at the end with your crowbar; in this room pick up the goodies and shoot
the wooden box in the SW corner to get the lasersight. Go out and climb up the
chain in front of the metal door you've opened before and back flip to enter in
the high room. (It can be difficult to grab the chain, but doing a single jump
forward from a bit distance it shouldn't be a problem). Go left and at the far
end (S), there is a box with the #SECRET 2. Go back and through the W wall; in
the left room you'll find a big medipack, at the other side a ladder to go
down. Once down look for a moveable piece (like the piece in the room you had
get the shaft key) in the S room and pull it to find the "Jeep keys".
Climb the ladder and go out of this building.
Near the chain there
is a grated door, which can be opened with the crowbar. Cross the dark passage
and take care of two dogs. Continue and shoot the boxes to access to the jeep.
Drive in reverse and the crate at the back of the jeep will crash. Drive along
the dark corridor and stop in the chain room. There is a thug up at the left in
a dark corner. Kill him and go there climbing the ladder to get some ammo.
Climb down at the other side and advance a little. Open another grated door in
the left wall and pick up the Uzi’s, the revolver and some Uzi ammo. Go back to
the jeep and drive straight ahead to the courtyard where the
"crowbar-crawlspace" is.
THE SECOND SHAFT KEY
Drive over the ramp in
the NE corner to arrive in a poolroom. Dismount and kill the thug. Use the
ladder near the entrance to climb up and go through a hole in the S wall (shoot
the grate first). Explore the new area to find some Uzi ammo, a big medipack
and the "Northern shaft key". Get back outside and take a running
jump over the right cornice, pick up the ammo the thug drops and run to the far
end to find #SECRET 3. Get back to the jeep and drive until you arrive to the
room of the beginning.
THE THIRD AND FOURTH
SHAFT KEYS
Drive along the ramp
in the NE corner and stop the jeep over the wooden bridge. Dismount and face S.
Jump over the floating crate to can get the other side where the truck is and
kill the thug behind the crate, take his ammo and use revolver+lasersight to
shoot the padlock and open the door he guarded. Enter and go up the stairs
opposite you, shoot the grates and go left to find the "Eastern shaft
key". Go back to the truck and continue E entering in a room where two
thugs await for you. Dispose of them and shoot a wooden box at the SW corner so
you can get the "Southern shaft key". Get back to the jeep.
THE STREETS
Drive across the end
of the bridge and through the first corridor in the left wall, arriving to a
small courtyard with crates. Shoot the box over the ledge in the SW corner to
get #SECRET 4. Return to the jeep and drive along the streets until another
courtyard with crates and closed doors. Dismount and jump over the crates at
the SW corner to get #SECRET 5.
THE DIAMOND
Help you with the crate to jump over the ledge at the W wall, shoot the
grates and continue until a room with a big ventilator. Drop carefully and walk
to one corner; from here run quickly crossing the ventilator to take less
damage possible. Climb up the ladder of the left and through the corridor; drop
in a new room. Turn left and open the grated door with your crowbar to pick up a
lot of goodies. Go out and push the grey cupboard aside to shoot the grates and
enter a crawlspace.
Beware with the
machine-guns! If you move quickly you won't suffer many damage; help yourself
with the crates and corners. Shoot the two thugs and the grates in a small
alcove at the north side of the room to get the "Diamond of Kashtuk"
(a gate opens outside). Opposite the diamond is another corridor with a
moveable piece; move it on a different tile (circle picture) on the floor in
the center of the room to open the nearby door and go outside. (You'll need to
use medipacks 'cause of the machine-guns).
THE ESCAPE
Mount on the jeep and
go through the door, which opens when you retrieve the diamond. Drive up the
ramp and fast to avoid the first machine-gun, jump over the water and right at
the end of the corridor to avoid the second machine-gun. Pass another ramp and
arrive to a room with a chain. Leave the jeep; you will need it no more.
Climb up the chain and
back flip over a metal ledge, go to the corridor at the NE corner and now along
the way you'll have to put the four "shaft keys" in their receptacles
and kill a thug each time you open a door. Finally arrive in a room and climb
in a window at the W wall. Jumping into the water and swimming towards the
motorboat the level ends.
