Tutorial
The level starts with Lara sliding down a slope and
landing in the grass. The narration explains how to move Lara with the arrow
keys. Go to the north-west corner and enter the alcove. Pull down the wall
switch and you get a cut scene showing a gate opening near you. Enter the open
gate and get into the crawl space. Lara says that the crawl is too slow and to
use the weapon key to get into a crouch. Then use the sprint key to roll down
the crawlspace at a faster rate. You can use the jump key to roll forward at
the end to get out of the crawl space.
You drop into water and Lara explains how to swim.
Swim south and pull up into a tunnel as the camera view changes. Run up the
tunnel and onto a ledge. Lara explains about use the forward arrow key to climb
the wall. At the top of the wall, Lara will automatically grab the ceiling
monkey swing. Use the roll key to turn around on the monkey swing. Go south and
pull down the jump switch. You get a cut scene of a gate opening. Climb the
wall again and monkey swing north to the open gate.
Get into the crawlspace and drop into the trench on
the other side. Go east over the two walls and pick up the Rainbow Key. Hop into the tunnel and stand jump only
onto the tiles with the gold circles. Any other tile will close the gate. Jump
into the tunnel and go to the end. Use the Rainbow Key to raise a block behind
you. Hop onto the block and climb the west wall of the vertical shaft above
you. Follow the tunnel and get into another crawlspace. Lara explains how to
pick up the small medipack in the crawlspace.
Follow the crawl space down the ramp and the level changes.
I did find any use of the new moves in the next
level.
Lara and
the Easter Egg
You start on a block overlooking a building in the
water. Go west and go forward behind the tree. You hear a narration from Lara.
Push the tree limb on the disguised floor lever. You get a cut scene of a
windmill and a block falling near the building. If you fall into the water it is very difficult to get out. Swim
to the ledge on the south side of the building where you saw the block drop.
Pull up and go west and jump to the south shore by a windmill.
Go south and climb the hills to the west into
another area. You see a building and more water to the west. You can see hills
to the south for later. Slide down into the water and swim to the south-west.
Go through a small tunnel and surface. Pull up onto path next to the house. To
the south you can see a closed gate. Go north to the front of a house. Shoot a
gray vase for a Mosaic Piece. The second gray
vase contains nothing. Move the white vase from the tile near the house onto
the tile near the water. You get a cut scene of a windmill and a door opening
in a small building. Go north and follow the path to the small building. If you
fall into the water you can climb up onto the wooden dock.
Enter the building and ignore the mermaid statue.
Go south to enter the room with the table. Shoot the large vases for two small medipacks. Enter the doorway in the east
wall. Go north to the end of the corridor and enter the alcove for a small medipack. Now return south and enter the only
open doorway to the east. You enter a room with a sunken floor. Go to the small
south alcove for flares. Enter the room and
Lara says to shoot the fuse box on the west wall. Oops! The lights go out. Pull
down the switch in the fuse box. Some lights start to flash and you hear a door
open. Go south back into the corridor. Go north to enter the open door. Pull
down the wall switch in the alcove and go south to a newly open gate. Notice
that the entrance way is closed.
You enter an outside area and Lara mentions her
lost keys. Go to the north-west and
pick up Jeep Keys from the small blue flowers
near the window. Return to the house and the entrance way is open again. Go
though the house back onto the wooden dock. Follow the dock south and follow
the path to the south-east to return to the starting area. You have to open the
small gate before you get to the jeep. Dive into the water and swim to the
building. Go to the south side and place the Mosaic Piece. You get a cut scene
of the small gate opening.
Dive into the water and swim to the east wall and
enter an underwater tunnel. Pick up a large medipack
and follow the tunnel. You can surface anywhere for air. Swim to the west and
enter a side tunnel to your right. Go to the end for secret
#1 and a Blue Rose. Return to the first
tunnel and swim to the end. Stand in the higher north-west corner to grab the
wall. Climb to the top and pull up onto the west ledge. Lara gives a narration
about the bridge above you.
Notice the rotating water wheel to the south-west.
Grab the underside of the bridge and follow the monkey swing to the east. Go to
the middle of the last bridge section and drop onto the ground. If you drop at
the end of the bridge, you fall into the water. Climb the south-west hill
beside the windmill and pick up a large medipack. Dive into the water at the windmill. You can
see something under the windmill but the current is too strong. Pull up at the
north-west corner. Swim back to the building ledge and jump to the south shore
again. Go west over the hill and go south through the open small gate to get
the jeep. Drive up through the small gate and follow the signs that have appeared.
Go through a tunnel and turn to the left. If you go
to the right, the tunnel follows around back to the start of the tunnel so that
you can try the left turn again. Follow the path to a garden area with trees.
Get out of the jeep. You can see arrows pointing to the west wall. Enter the
doorway in the east wall. You enter a room and the camera view changes. Lara
mentions not to shoot the cat. Go north and turn into an alcove to see a key
lock. You get a cut scene of the water wheel and Lara mentions that the water
is too fast. You can shoot the three vases but the vases are empty. Exit the
room and go back through the tunnel the way you came. Either run or take the
jeep. You can see that a wall has dropped to reveal a new outside area.
You can see a small pond, a garden overgrown with
weeds, and a block on the high north hill. Dive into the water and swim to the
middle of the pond. Among the green waterweeds you can pick up secret #2 and a Green Rose.
Get out of the water and go to the garden. Go north and see a vine near the
north ledge. Lara mentions to climb the plant. The action is different from the
normal climb. Climb above the west ledge and turn around so that your back is
to the ledge. Press UP ARROW, CTRL, and ALT and Lara jumps back and rolls
around to grab the west ledge. The actual roll (END) key is not necessary. Turn
the wheel on the block. You get a cut scene of the water wheel. Lara says that
she can now get the key.
Exit this area and follow the tunnel to the east to
get to the windmill. Leave the jeep, as
you cannot get it past a block to drive back to the windmill. I did not find a
way to remove the block so you have to run and climb the hills. Go east over
the hills and dive into the water. Swim through the east wall underwater tunnel
again. Climb the wall and just dive into the water, Swim under the windmill and
pick up the Rainbow Key. Swim out again and
pull up at the north-west corner. Swim back to the building ledge and jump to
the south shore again. Go west over the hill and return to the jeep. Drive the
jeep back and park it near the arrows pointing to the west wall. Enter the east
room and use the Rainbow key in the key lock. Exit the room and there is an
opening in the west wall.
Get into the jeep and drive through the doorway.
Get out of the jeep. You can shoot four empty vases if you want. Enter the
south tunnel and pull up into a crawl space. Drop into a room and climb the
block at the south wall. Monkey swing to the east across the water. Push the
pedestal with the blue ball onto the yellow tile at the end of the ledge. Swim
back and pick up a small medipack off a ledge.
Follow the crawl space back to where you left the jeep. Drive the jeep into the
south wall doorway and follow the tunnel. Drive to another area. The arrows
point across a bridge but it is blocked off by doors.
First dive into the water and swim to the
north-east area. Pick up secret #3 and a Golden Rose off the bottom of the water. Go west to
pull back up onto a ledge. Jump west into a building with arches. The jeep
should be to the north. Go south and into the south-west area. Use another
disguised floor lever in the red tulips. A block drops in the north wall. Enter
the alcove for secret #4 and a Red Rose. You can get this later but I did it now. Go
north around to the building with the arches. Pick up a large medipack and go west into a garden.
Go north and pick up a yellow Easter Egg and get a cut scene of a wall dropping.
Pick up a large medipack in the north-east
corner. Shoot the vases to the north-west for two
small medipacks. Go south through the archway. Pick up a small medipack from the ground. You see a closed gate
in the east wall. Go west through the dropped wall and see an equation on the
back wall. The equation is "3x5+6-1=2". Of course, this is wrong.
However the 3, 6, and 1 blocks are moveable. Move the blocks to read
"1x5+3-6=2". When a block is correct, you get a cut scene of the
gate. At the end, you get a cut scene f the east wall gate opening. Go east to
enter the room. Pull down the wall switch and get a cut scene of the bridge and
the doors are open.
Go back to the jeep and drive over the bridge.
Drive it east and over the hills. You get a flyby of a rabbit and Lara in an
Easter Bunny suit. Then the level ends.
