TR3 - TERROR CHRISTMAS by DAVID RUKAWA
Walkthrough by Harry Laudie
Slide down the hill and at the bottom
notice a crawlspace to your right. Pass it and go to the end of the cave and
enter the crawlspace on the right wall. At the end, cross the water and go left
into an alcove to pull a very hard to see switch. Go towards the door and go to
an alcove on the left corner to pull another hard to see switch. It seems both
switches are needed to open the door. The door opens so enter carefully to kill
a dog (1) and a guard (2). Enter the first room with two closed doors at the end. Pull back
the block in the right corner to pickup a small Medi pack (1) and some shotgun shells (2). Push the block back
and press the push button on the wall to open the left door. Enter the room to
kill a guard (3) who drops a Mystic Plaque key (3). Follow the stairs in the left corner and climb a ladder at the
end. At the top you see in front a floating green crystal that gives Lara 50%
health if you need it. To the right on top of a box are some shotgun shells (4). Also to the right is
a door.
Enter the door and go to the left
branch. Stop and pull out a block on the right side one time. Go around it and
push the block into the corridor two times. In the hole pull another block out
into the corridor. Go around it and push the block into the corridor one time.
Go into the corridor to press a push button and get a cut scene of a door
opening. Turn right and push a block three times to get out back to the
starting corridor. Go back to the first room and see the other door open. Go to
the end of the room to use the Mystic Plague key and get a cut scene of a
wooden gate opening at the top of an ice column. Exit this area and go back to
the first crawlspace that you originally passed. Climb in and there is a climbable
ice wall on the left and in front of you. Climb the wall on the left to a
ledge. Turn around and jump to another climbable ice wall. Climb up to the gate
the Mystic Plaque key opened. To the left is a short corridor with a closed
wooden gate. On the right are two movable blocks that you cannot move yet.
Climb the blocks and enter a crawlspace. At the end you enter a cave with very
large ornate closed doors at the end. On the right side is an alcove with a
switch. Pull it to open the closed wooden gate you saw in the short corridor.
Now go there.
Enter the gate and kill a guard (4). In a left alcove are
some shotgun shells (5). Pick up the shells and turn around. Jump to grab a climbable wall
and climb up to a room. This room has a floating green health gem, a shotgun (6), shotgun shells (7), a golden rose (8) which is Secret #1 called K3, more shotgun shells (9) and a large Medi pack (10). Climb down and
pull out the two movable blocks to reveal a switch. Pull it to see a wooden
gate open. Go back to the starting area and climb the other ice wall. At he top
climb a block and go down another ice wall. Enter a short corridor to see the
wooden gate you opened. Enter and go down a short ramp to kill a guard (5). At the end are a
closed wooden gate and two alcoves with switches. Pull both switches to open
the gate. Enter a short corridor and look up to see an incline. Back flip onto
this incline and jump forward to grab a ledge. Follow a twisting corridor and
end up in a room overlooking a deadly pool. From the far right upper box Natla
is shooting at you. From the walls darts are also being shot. Immediately jump
to the box in front of you and Natla's shoots just hits the boxes in front of
her and misses you. Jump to the far left box to pick up a large Medi pack (11). Jump back and
jump into an opening on the right side. Pick up a small Medi pack (12) and shotgun shells (13). On the wall is a
switch that opens the very large ornate doors you saw previously. I couldn’t
seem to kill Natla so go back to the ornate doors.
Enter the doors and it closes behind
you. In the right corner is a short crawlspace with nothing in it. Go to the
far left corner into a corridor with crushing hammers. Carefully pass two
hammers, turn left and pass two more hammers. Pass a closed door and ahead of
you is an open area with several small buildings. Natla got here first and
shoots at you as you enter the area. Run forward to pick up a large Medi pack (14). Run forward
and go left to pull a switch that opens a trap door. Run back to pick up a small Medi pack (15) and run behind the
building on your right. Behind there, pick up shotgun shells (16) and look to the
left to see the trap door you opened. Go to the right to the back wall and jump
an incline into an alcove to pick up a large Medi pack (17) and shotgun shells (18). Go back to the trap
door. In the doorway to the right are more shotgun shells. Look across the
deadly trench to see a hole in the wall. Jump in there to pull a switch that
opens the door near the hammers. Go back there and enter the room to pick up a K1 key (19). Go to the trap
door and climb the ladder down to the bottom. The room seems empty so climb the
box on the right side and pull up into another room. In the corner are a closed
door and a lock. Use the key to open the door.
Go in and to the left into a room with
three movable blocks. I found nothing under them. Go forward and hear more
hammers. Enter a corridor in the far left corner and kill two guards (6)(7). Follow to the next
room and you see columns too tall to grab. To the left is a short column
between two tall columns. This is a movable block. Pull it out and use it to
climb the column near the entrance. Work around the room and use a monkey
swing. Go to the end, drop and grab and pull up to get to a ledge. Turn around
and climb up to another ledge. Run/jump/grab across a gap to a ledge and go to
the right to press a push button on a wall. Go back and turn right to enter a
room with a deadly floor, a closed door to the left and a corridor to the right.
Jump up to a monkey swing and go to the closed door and then continue to this
corridor. Enter and follow through the open door to a room with ladders. Climb
the left ladder and at the top back flip and grab a ledge. Shimmy to the left,
back flip and grab. Shimmy left again and pull up into a corridor.
Follow the corridor through four
hammers to a push button. Use it to open the door back in the deadly floor
room. Carefully go down the ladders and use the monkey swing to get to the
door. Enter the door and face three more hammers in a corridor. Go to the end
of the corridor and push in the movable block.
Go to the block's right side and push it into a hole. You see more
movable blocks. Go to the nearest block in the wall and push it two times. Go to the left side and pull it into the
empty room. You see another block so push it two times into the empty room
behind it. Turn around and see a switch on the corner wall. Pull the switch. Go
to where you entered the room and look left to see more movable blocks. Go to
the last block and push it three times. Turn left and push another block two
times. Go behind it to see a closed door. Push this block into a corner and go
out to pull the opposite block into the same room and push it into a corner.
Look back to see a switch in the empty alcove. Pull it and the closed door
opens to display a switch. Pull this switch to get a cut scene of the door
opening in the house at the second Natla encounter. If you move all the blocks,
as I did, you find nothing. Go back to the open house door and see Natla
running in circles on the ledge.
Go inside the house just inside the
doorway and you see it is Christmas time. Go back outside and Natla is gone.
There is a cave behind the ledge where Natla was but I found nothing there. Go
back inside to the stairs and the door closes behind you. Go around the left
part of the stairs to the end. You see a trapdoor on the right and a closed
door in the end room. Go right to see another closed door in the corner and
return to the bottom of the stairs noticing another closed door to your right.
Go the left room that seems to be empty except for a TV. Go to the right room
and left into a bathroom. In the left corner shower is a push button. Press it
and get a cut scene of a trapdoor dropping in the corner of some room. Back to
the stairs and go up and follow the left corridor to a kitchen. Press the push
button on the wall to open the door. Go in and follow the crawlspace to an ice
cave. You can see something in the ceiling. Go to the right corner alcove and
pull up to a ledge. Pick up a half Medi pack (20) and go right to pick up shotgun shells
(21) and a golden rose (22) that is secret #2. Go out to the room on the right and see a closed door, a
fireplace and a bed.
Back out to the room on the opposite
balcony. There is a clock, a TV and a switch behind the TV. Use it to open a
closed door in the downstairs far left room. Go there to enter a room with a
pool and another open door. The pool is very cold and saps Lara's strength. Go
through the door and turn left to pull a switch. You get a cut scene of the
bottom corridor door opening as well as the door behind you. Go there and go
down the ladder. It's a long drop otherwise. Follow a corridor to a room with
an alcove on the far wall and a deep drop off on the right side. Jump over the
right edge, slide and grab then safety drop to the floor. Press the push button
in the right corner and get a cut scene of the door near the second floor
bedroom opening. Go to the left corner and climb the ladder. At the top go left
and drop into the other alcove. Go back up the ladder and to the bedroom door.
Go up the stairs and drop into the open trapdoor in the far left corner. You
hear more hammers and see a doorway on the far right wall. Enter the doorway
and follow the corridor to an ice maze.
Go to the right side and follow to a
switch. Pull it to get a cut scene of the trapdoor in the lower stairs corridor
opening. The rest of the maze seems to be empty so go to the trapdoor; climb
and back flip into the room. Go downstairs to the newly opened trapdoor. Fall
into some ice-cold water and get out very quick. The room overlooks a large
sliding drop. Slide down and Natla is there again shooting at you. Jump up to
the block on the left and jump up to grab a monkey swing. Swing over to the
block opposite the ladder. Jump to the ladder and go up a little. Back flip and
roll to end up in front of barbed wire. This takes a little guesswork. Climb
too far and jump too far and Lara dies on barbed wire. Go forward one step and
pick up another Mystic Plaque key (23). Jump to ledge on the right and then walk through the barbed wire
on the left to drop into a room. Walking gives no damage. Pick up a large Medi pack (24), two sets of shotgun shells (25)(26) and a small Medi pack (27). Go up some stairs
in a corridor on the other side of the room. Enter a large room and kill three guards (8)(9)(10) Jump up on the
box and use the Mystic Plaque key to open the nearby door to the outside and
collapse the corridor back to Natla. There was a hole behind Natla but I could
never get to it. Go to the outside and enter a cave on the right side to end
the level.
End of the level.
