Walkthrough by Harry Laudie


Start with a flyby of a vast wasteland with a temple and ending with Lara near a jeep. Go to the south-east corner and into the hills for secret #1, small medipack and grenade super ammo. On the return to the jeep, kill a scorpion. Pick up a large medipack from the water and then go south into a pit. Slide down a slope and stop on a flat section to get a cut scene of spikes over a water hole. Stand in the middle of the second slope and start to slide down. Immediately jump up and grab a climbable wall. Climb up to an opening for secret #2 and a large medipack. To exit, run forward out of the opening and fall onto the slope. You start to slide backwards. At the bottom grab a ledge and shimmy left or right from the spikes. Then release and drop into the water. Swim west through a crawl space. On the other side pick up crossbow normal ammo. Continue swimming west and pull up it front of a closed door. Use the two floor levers and the door opens. Enter the corridor to pick up flares and the other door opens as you approach it. Enter to see a pole behind a cage. Avoid the mummy and go south into a room with a crawl space and five switches. Enter the crawl space for secret #3. Pick up a compass, small medipack, large medipack, blue shotgun shells, revolver ammo, grenade normal ammo, Uzi ammo and flares. Exit back to the first room and pull all five switches. The cage around the pole goes down. Climb the pole and back flip at the top into a tunnel.

Crawl down the long green crawl spaces and at the end safety drop into some water. Pull up into a room and move the statues to the opposite side of the room near the gates. When both are moved the two gates open. Pick up a small medipack, crossbow normal ammo, and flares from the floor. Enter the alcove to pick up the Stone Piece 2 from a pedestal. Exit by way of the other open door to the north. Enter and kill a blue ninja and pick up Uzi ammo. Be careful when you exit to avoid a falling spike ball. When you go up the ramp you get a cut scene of a picture. Be careful of the deadly floor in the middle of the room. However you can jump to a safe spot in the middle underneath the picture. You get a cut scene of the door opening and two ninjas coming out. Jump to the side and kill the two blue ninjas. Pick up Uzi's and the Stone Piece 1 that they drop. Enter the open door and go down the corridor.

Enter a room and see a ladder in front of you. Go around the floor of the room and the view changes to a view looking up through a glass ceiling. A blue ninja appears who just suspiciously walks past you. I let him go just in case he was needed later. Go around the floor to pick up grenade flash ammo, small medipack, and flares. There is a closed gate in the west wall. Climb the ladder and pull up into a room with two floor levers. Use the west floor lever and the west door opens. Go up the ramp to pick up the Star of Zhais from a pedestal. Quickly run to the other pedestal for the crossbow as a spike ball rolls down a tunnel towards you. When the ball stops, run up the tunnel the ball came from. At the top, get secret #4, revolver ammo and a large medipack. Exit and use the east floor lever and the east door opens. Enter the door and follow to two closed gates. While you are here, shoot the vases for red shotgun shells, large medipack and a scorpion. On the west side of the room are two alcoves with a quarter-circle marking on them. They are in the north-west and south-west corners. Step on them and the two gates in the north wall open. There are two separate paths to follow from this two-gate room.

First go left towards the green steps and the door closes behind you. Enter the tunnel and go left. Look up for a hole and grab a climbable wall to the east. Climb a little and back flip to a ledge. Follow the tunnel to a dark room. You see a water hole in the middle and with binoculars you can see a lot of ledges going upwards. Start in the south-west corner and pull up to a north ledge. There is a grenade gun on the ledge in front of you. I never got to pick it up without being crushed by a falling spike ball. Jump east to a metal platform and then north-east to a ledge. Turn west and climb the green climbable wall. Monkey swing around the room and then climb the south wall to a higher ledge. Kill the blue ninja shooting at you. Climb the obvious wall ladder and at the top of the darker section, back flip to a metal platform. Jump to a north-east platform and climb the ladder. Climb pass the ladder into the green section and then back flip, roll, and grab a ledge. You can see an opening very high up to the south-west. Next are three easy jumps and then a long jump to the east. Climb the ladder and when you see a ledge behind you, back flip to that ledge. Now take a long jump to the west to grab a ledge. Turn north and stand jump to an invisible ledge. Climb into the opening you saw from below. You get secret #5, revolver, revolver ammo and a small medipack. Exit and go back to the east ledge and jump north to a ladder. It is a bit hard, but climb the wall, release, and shimmy left to the ledge before Lara gets into her climbing position. Pull up onto the ledge as if it is a crawl space. Do not stand up or you fall off. Go forward, then stand and jump south to a metal platform. Turn west and pull up into a tunnel. Go left and enter a room with three slopes with two spike balls at the top of each slope. Tease the spikes balls down from any slope and go up to pick up the Golden Ornament from a pedestal. You get a cut scene of the gate opening back at the two-gate room. Go back to where you climbed up here and notice that the metal platform is gone. Just grab the ledge and let go. You fall a long ways but land in the water hole. Exit this room and go back to the two-gate room.

Now go right towards the brown steps and the gate closes behind you.  Follow the tunnel and jump a spike pit and the gate opens of you. Use binoculars and you see a tall mound with a pit in front of it. Enter the gate and it closes behind you. Go to north-east corner and run, jump and grab the other side of the pit. Stand jump up the stepped sides of the pyramid. At the top, pick up the Star of Cytt and get a cut scene of the gate opening back in the two-gate room. Use binoculars and look to the north-east to see something in the far corner. Go down the north-east side of the pyramid to get there. Or slide down backwards, grab and shimmy to the right. Get there and pick up two revolver ammo and a revolver. Look south to see some pillars. Grab the edge of the pyramid and shimmy left until you can pull up. Get to a pillar and follow the pillars to the south. Near a slope, turn to face the wall and hop back to grab the ledge to avoid a rolling spike ball.  Pull up and jump to the south slope. Slide down and grab and shimmy to the right. Go around a corner to pull up onto a ledge. Continue this shimmy to the right and pull up a ledge at the west wall. You can see an opening below you. Face south and grab the ledge above the spikes. It is climbable. Climb down and shimmy to the right. You have to release and shimmy quickly to get under the opening. You will take some damage for this. Pull up into the opening for secret #6, large medipack, red shotgun shells, blue shotgun shells, small medipack, grenade flash ammo, and crossbow poison ammo. Go to the opening and jump south to grab the wall and avoid spike damage. Climb up and jump north to the ledge. At the other end, run and jump to the north-east to get back to the starting area. Go to the west wall and enter the open gate. Follow the tunnel and safety drop at the end. The spikes are gone so climb the west wall and exit back to the two-gate room.

Return and use the ladder back to the room with the glass floors. Go west and use the Star of Zhais to open the gate. The blue ninja is back and wants to enter the next gate. On a second playing of the level, he did not appear at all. Combine the Stone Pieces to get the Sacred Stone and use it to open the next gate. Use the Star of Cytt to open the final gate. Enter the tunnel and follow it to a spike pit. You see a doorway on the right wall. Monkey swing over the spikes and turn to get over the doorway. Drop and grab the wall.  Near the bottom, drop and grab the ledge. Pull up into the tunnel. You get secret #7 but Lara would not grab the large medipack from the pedestal. You can go back and forth many times in the tunnel and get a lot of secrets and secret sounds. Back at the doorway, run and jump to the south to land on a flat area. Continue south into the tunnel to enter a small room.

Kill a blue ninja and go to the north-west corner for a floor lever. The gate opens and as you approach it, the gate slams shut. Kill a blue ninja and move the statue in the south-east corner onto the obvious tile in the middle of the room. The door opens again so you can exit. Get into a T-junction, enter and sprint to the west as a spike ball rolls behind you. Use the Golden Ornament and the door opens. Run out the door into the open outside area and the level ends.
