Walkthrough by Dutchy
MS=Monkeyswing, CS=Crawlspace, MP=medi-pack, have fun!
You land on a grating in the1st room, get some Ammo on the ledge along
the N wall and go into the W passage to get the MP, you can just see the
Grenade gun, but it’s out of reach, then go into the E passage of 1st room and
get all the Flares, back out and up the sloped passage S. Save in front
of the button and push it, roll and quickly get out of there as a Boulder
comes down after you. It will smash the floor so you can go down to the room
below.
Only one way to go so get the ½ MP on the block in E passage,
save and head down the slope. Spikes pop out of the floor and there’s a nasty pit, so be
sure to jmp in time. At the next large pit you can see a sloped pillar below,
line up on the R side of it and run down, slide and jmp to land on that pillar,
slide and jmp with a R curve to land on a sloped ledge behind the pillar R,
maybe you have to jmp few times aiming L to land onto the safe floor L of the
pillar in front. Go get the Flares from the vase behind the pillar and
go on to the big room where the door will drop shut behind you.
Huge Room.
On the E side is a
ladder with a closed door (1), past that is an arch with a ladder on the L side, go up
and have a look up to that Fire ball on the ceiling, nice. Get into the CS in E
wall and follow to another cave, to the R is a passage to a door (2) and in the cave below
is a pillar you can standjmp to and then down to the floor, go into the caves
and to the E, past the windows where you can see all kinds of Goodies.
Into the E opening to
a small room, look in the dark L corner and spot the sealed off CS (A) Let it be for now and
find the ladder down to a room with a MS and a deadly pool.
MS Puzzle.
Use the 1st MS to go
to the ledge with the multiple MS.
Go over to the L MS as
the one to the right is blocked by doors. Once you go R on the MS there’s a
different textured tile that will open the first door, go back and to that door
on the R hand MS, there’s one more of those texture tiles that will open the
second door, go back and over the L hand MS, W all the way to a ledge where the
MS ends. Now you have to runjmp to the lowest part of the lone ledge in the
pool, but from the R side and a bit of a L curve or you will hit the ceiling
ledge.
Runjmp/grab the rope
and swing to the L Face next to the burner, runjmp to the other side of that
ledge with a curve around the nose of the face and get the Ammo while
crawling, now you have to do a tricky curved runjmp/grab to get onto that 2nd
rope and turn to the ledge W, swing only once so you don’t backswing to the
burner and jmp of, runjmp to the cave in the end, the lever to the L will
change deadly water into drinking water.
Get the Flares
and go up the sloped cave to the top, where you can climb up into a small room
from the sloped block, go out to the top of a W arch in the Huge room, throw
the lever to open a door (2). Drop from the arch and go to the E arch and up the
ladder on L side again, through the CS and R on the ledge there, push the
button inside the passage and door (1) opens, walk out to the edge and look L for
the tiled ledge you can jmp to and from there to the roof of the entrance, go
to and jmp into the SW passage. Throw the lever inside to flood the bottom part
of the huge room and all adjoining rooms too.
Secret #1. (if you don’t go
there you’ll miss the next two secrets too)
Dive into the
refreshing water and go to the W side arch where you threw the lever before,
climb up and head into the passage, follow down to the hole, down the cave to
that MS Puzzle room, run through to the other side and up the ladder, in this
small room the CS (A) opened up now, Go in and L, here’s a room with Secret #1, Goodies.
Go to the E again and throw the lever in that room, doors (5) open and they will be
in a later part of the level.
Head back to the CS
and follow the path back through the MS Puzzle room, up the cave and the hole
to the arch in the Huge room. Turn L and swim to the NW corner, into the lower
tunnel to the R and come to a room with pillars, climb the L hand sloped block
and go jmp to the highest SW pillar, Spikes pop up in front to the room there.
So jmp to the N pillars and from there into the room, shoot the vase for the Shotgun
and hurry out to the water again so you don’t have to waste any Ammo on the Skellie.
Swim back to the Huge
room and the walls close behind you. Look on the L side for the face fountain
and climb the ledge to get the Lasersight from the pedestal. A door (4) opens, high up in the
SW corner of the Huge room (later).
Head E and in that
arch there is another CS you can swim through to the E cave, under the pillar
there you can now see a hole, from the room under the hole you can see the
Hathor Effigy out of reach yet (later) Go swim S to the next cave and up near
the rope, you can use the rope to swing up to the pointy floor N or just swim
straight (from the lowest point of the floor under the rope) up to the tip of
that floor, hit “Ctrl” and Lara will climb up. Follow the cave up to a passage
with a grating L and a button next to it.
The Hathor Effigy.
Push the button and
see a door opening up through that grating, it will give access to the Hathor
Effigy. You have to go get now. Return to the lower cave with the rope and swim
N, at the last cave with the hole in the bottom where you saw the Hathor Effigy
before, you can climb up the L ledge at the CS. Runjmp/grab to the top of the
pillar in the water and turn around after pulling up, climb the ladder overhead
and from almost at the trop a backflip to a ledge, go into the passage and
here’s the door you just opened with the button. Drop backwards into that
deeeep shaft and swim to the Hathor Effigy,you will be taken to the
topside of the grating, so you can swim back up through the shaft and head S,
to the rope and into that N cave again, up to that button and down to the next
room.
Pillar/Water Puzzle.
( Some remarks to this room:
-In a water room like this Lara walks slow, if you jmp straight up once, she
can run again.
-If a pushable object suddenly starts to flicker, disappears or Lara simply
can't get a hold of it, simply run around the close by rooms and it should
return to normal.
-If the skeleton is stuck on a raised block, just shoot it off into the room.
Make sure that skeleton is not on the other side of the pushable object or Lara
will not be able to move it.)
In the next room is a pillar some Ammo to the L and a Skeleton
(you need that Skellie later), the entrance doors close behind you , notice the
hole in the N wall near the entrance of this room. Go up into that N opening
and down into the next room, look R for the closed door (3) for later and see the
slanted Timer Tile (different texture) that will raise the block in the
opening to the W room, go in the W room and shoot the 2 vases (one around the
corner) while crouching, get the Ammo from them.
Go back through the
upper passage to the pillar and shoot that Skeleton into the hole between this
room and the W door. A block will rise in the opening after the door opened.
You now don’t need that Skellie anymore, so shoot it into the hole of the next
opening W so you can work in peace. The pillar has to go close to that opening to
the next room so leave it between the 2 openings (not all the way to the
opening, because the Skellie has to be in the room with you, or you cannot push
the pillar to the next room). Step on that Timer Tile near you, the Skellie
will be freed again, so shoot it to gain some time. Push (don’t pull)
the pillar through the opening. Maybe you have to go to the Tile one more time
again, if the block lowers with the pillar on it.
When in the room where
the vases were, shoot the Skellie in the hole so he won’t bother you any more.
Push the pillar into the small passage around the corner (shot the vase did
you?) and onto the Tile there, door (3) in the previous room opened. So go back over
the hole with the Skellie and L, into the door NW and get a screen of the
entrance to this pillar puzzle room (In case you didn’t get the Effigy yet)
Follow the passage up to a room with big pillars, go L to the terrace
overlooking the Huge room, shoot the Skellie off the floor and look for the
ledge with the pillars to the W, there’s a nice crack in it and you would think
that was to shimmy along, NO!! Runjmp/grab to the ledge NW.
[i]The Ornate Handle.
You have to do runjmps
around the pillars, past the stand for the Portal Guardian (later) to get to
the S side (last pillar around the L side). Climb up the ledge at the door (4) you opened on taking
the Lasersight. Go up the ladder and W to a room with a moveable floor,
blocking the CS in the W wall. Go R and the door closes behind you. Down to a
room with a pillar, move that to the N on the Tile near the entrance while a Spirit
is pestering you. Go to the closed door and it will open, run up the passage to
the moveable floor and stand in front of the CS, the floor should go down so
you can enter, go L in the next room (with a closed door (6) straight in front and
down the room with the Bird statue.
The Crossbow.
The Spirit will kill
itself, go stand close to the statue and see the Tile (ledge). It’s the trigger
for the door (6) above. Sprint over the Tile to the passage up and in the room
there L into the open door. 3 Skellies attack, shoot them into one of the many
pits and get the Crossbow from the pedestal, then go to the block S and
grab the Ammo, fit the Lasersight on the Crossbow and look up over the
central structure, shoot the vase there. The door W opens, go in and up the
ladder to jmp to the roof of the structure, get the Ornate Handle
floating in the air and the NE door opens, go down to the NE tip of the roof
and jmp/grab to the door. Slide down and go down the passage to the Huge room
again.
On the ledge there you can slide off the N side and jmp with a R hand
curve to the 1st ledge between the pillars, runjmp around the next and go place
the Portal Guardian, ropes drop from the ceiling of the Huge room, go
jmp around the pillars again and to the N terrace, from the sloped ledge a
runjmp/grab to the 1st rope, go down to the end of the rope before you swing to
the next and then go over the Skellie, draw the Shotgun and blow it off
the terrace. Notice the door (7) in the E wall here and enter the S passage. Go L first to get some Ammo
and then go to the W side to find doors (5) you’ve opened at the 1st Secret. Stand on the L side of the opening, arm with
the Crossbow+ Lasersight, hold it out and check your health, Save, run
in and roll. Look up over where you came in and shoot the vase to stop the
burners, turn L and look up for the next one, then turn R again and run over to
the other side (not too close to that wall or you’ll burn), roll and look up
for the next vase (hard to spot as it’s low in the alcove and to the L most
side), then turn R and go forward to the corner where you have to turn R again
and wait pumping MP’s to get out to a room with Secret#2, the Horseman’s
Gem.
The door opens and you
can go on to the top of the other elevator (R) which you should have taken if
you didn’t open the door at Secret#1. We can visit that one if you like, just
shoot the one vase you can see from the top and go to the wide cave N, to the R
and find the shaft don. Drop down to the lower ledge and jmp/grab the pole.
Slide all the way down and go to the door(7). The door opens for you. Runjmp to the
terrace in the Huge room and re-enter the S passage. Straight into the elevator
in front, enter on the R side and turn L, look up for the one remaining vase
(if you shot the other one from above) and go up to the passage near Secret#2
again go R to the wider cave and go L and up a sloped passage and where the
yellow light blinds you, is a CS up in the N wall. Follow to the receptacle for
the Gem and Secret#3 sounds, go into that beautiful cave to get the Explosive
arrows finally (save them). Head back to the CS and drop back into the
bright light. Go up the rest of that sloped passage to the E and get the MP
in front of the button, push the button, watch the flyby and faaaaalllll down
through several rooms of the level. Wait for the Titles to end and the show
goes on…
Beetles and Bones.
You will drop into a
sinister cellar There are several MP’s around and you’ll need them, grab
the MP where you landed and take it as the health is low after that
fall. Arm the Crossbow with the Explosive arrows and head into the SW corner,
roll and from there you can do the first 3 sets of bones, one on the floor, one
on the wall and one on the ceiling, get the MP near the water column and
take it, head to the centre of the room near that higher block and turn R, look
E and shoot the next 2 sets up on the E wall, run into the centre pit that
changed now and on the E side you’ll fall through and slide to the end of the
level…
