TR3 - UNITED STATES 1: THE FROST MANSION by RAIDER CROFT

WALKTHROUGH BY JOSE

 

We begin at what seems to be the main door of the mansion, it is guarded by two guards who its seems will not hurt us. At the moment leave the door and go left to the garden. Crossing a large fence-wall that goes from the house to the wall. We enter a large area with low fog. If we go towards the patches of grey wall on the left, we will find that near the corner there is a secret, secret #1. Advance some more and you will also find another present. Continue advancing along the wall against the house until you arrive at a circle of white flowers and another fence-wall. Before we cross it, notice that we can climb up the right side to find secret #2. Lower and see a pool that is covered by a grate and has fish in it. Keep moving to arrive at a small door in the wall of the house it is unlocked. Enter. We are inside the kitchen of the mansion. Go to the refrigerator chamber and enter by pressing the button so that you can pick up a present. Go left to move towards an area of bookshelves by the opening to the right. Cross the small carpet, go towards the right (towards the left is the bookshelves with the puzzle), to the right of the grand piano are shelves with books where one is sticking out. We activate it and a camera shows us a door, which was disguised in the middle of a bookshelf but is not open yet (we still have 2 more books to activate). Now we must go to the main hall, where there are some stairs. On the ground floor there is a dining room that has an enormous carpet and table with 6 chairs. In one of the corners of the dinning room there is a bookshelf where we can find a present, and in one of the other corners a small bookshelf where a book sticks out ready to be activated. If we advance a little, leaving the dinning room, we will find at the end of a corridor a pack of flares, a SEMIC man and in the wall at the bottom, music apparatus that if activated plays the TR3 theme to brighten the journey. Now go towards the main hall and climb the stairs towards the large plant. When at the top go to the hollow of the left to arrive in a room where the door is camouflaged in the book wall. To the right near the door the third book is ready to be activated and the door will open. Enter and pick up the present. At the end, descend the metallic stairs until you reach a grey area with several columns, tables with PC's and wooden boxes. By moving the boxes properly, we will be able to reach secret #3 which is underneath the box in the corner, stuck to a column. In the opposite side of the area there is a hole in the ground by which we can lower. We walk a little until we each an area similar to the previous one. Entering the left, behind a box in the corner we found revolver bullets and another box in the centre of the area. Go to the following room and in the centre under a green diamond you will find a present. To the right gather a medic kit and press the button to see a door in an area of the garden, open. Return through all the passages to the main entrance and leave the mansion by going left. Going back to where we found the first 2 secrets, gathering on the way presents one at the start of the trip and one at the end near the front door to the labyrinth of fences where there is a green diamond. Enter the labyrinth. The labyrinth of fences: The picture included is very clear. It is enough to always advance towards the left to a small entrance, which you have to crouch down to enter. Once inside climb a large slab and looking up you can see the combination of the puzzle room (near the kitchen). Go left and always left arriving by the iron door that is near the small outer door by where we entered the mansion at the start. Also receive a present near a flowerpot stand. We enter the kitchen again towards the left you find the bookshelves with the puzzle. Press the combination obtained in the labyrinth and see that a door has opened to the right of the stairs in the main hall. Enter and go down the flight of stairs in a hollow. Fall on a box and find a present. When picking it up a picture of a SEMIC guard is shown to us in an area we have already been in (the cellars of the mansion), return there again and kill the guard. When he dies he leaves a handle, return again to the garden, where there is a chapel. Enter the chapel and in one of its corners find a key. When taking it we see that an iron door has opened, that gives access to a garage where there is a SEMIC van, next to the source. Enter and kill the rats; find the second key behind a column and a present next to one of the flowerpot stands. With 2 keys enter the mansion again, climb the stairs and go by the opening of the right to reach a door with two locks. Before entering there is a music chain that we can activate to listen to another song to brighten the level. Enter the office and next to the window we can obtain more presents. Near the table in the ground here is a parchment. Pick it up and the level finishes.

WALKTHROUGH BY LUCAS

 

Note: depending on the way you're playing Lara Croft Regresa, you might find that when you start this level all your ammunition and additional pickups will be gone. This is pretty much intentional.

The level starts in front of the Mansion. Head left, past the hedge and pick up the
SECRET #1 (small Medi pack) in the corner. Keep running across the garden until you reach an area with red bricks, a little before the fenced pond. Climb up to the top of the hedge and retrieve SECRET #2 (large Medi pack). The kitchen door will open as you approach it. Get in. Zoom past the library until the piano room and pull the first of three books in the shelf near the frame on the wall. Head to the other wing of the mansion, in the dining room, and pull the second book near the plant. Walk up to the second floor and, on your left, get inside another library and pull the last book behind the couch. A hallway will open, walk through it to reach the SEMIC offices. Pull out the crates to pick up SECRET #3 (small Medi pack). Drop through the hole in the corner and push the button in the room with the crystal, this will open the door to the hedgy maze. Return all the way to the main hall and exit the house via the front doors. Head left, running past Alexia's statue, and eventually you'll reach a crystal. Get it and walk into the maze. Your objective is to find the correct button sequence, a clue hidden inside this maze. See attached map. Get back into the house (through kitchen door) and head left to find the buttons. Push the buttons following the sequence you saw in the maze (SPOILER: dot dot line dot line) to open the door beneath the stairs. Climb down the ladder and pick up the Revolver. Climb back up and head to the SEMIC offices, in the second floor. Kill the SEMIC soldier and he'll drop you a CROWBAR. Back outside in the yards, head left (past the statue...) and once you reach the gravestones, use the crowbar in the blocked door behind them. Inside the church, pick up the OFFICE KEY in the left corner and head to the open garage, just behind the statue. Collect the second OFFICE KEY and head to the second floor of the house. On the right wing, use the two keys and pick up the SCROLL in Frost's office.

Note: depending on the way you're playing Lara Croft Regresa, you might find that when you start this level all your ammunition and additional pickups will be gone. This is pretty much intentional.

Quickly rush into the mansion, head right and pick up the Revolver. Up on the second floor, get down to SEMIC offices, push the button in the end to open the hedgy maze (this time around, the entrance is by the kitchen). Once inside, you're goal is to push three buttons to open the treasure chamber beneath the stairs. See attached map. Climb down the ladder in the treasure room and pull the book in the shelves near the globe. Work your way to the second floor and jump inside the bedrooms. Pick up the MAINTENANCE KEYS in the bathtub and get back down to the room with the globe. Use the key behind it to open a trapdoor in the bathroom, work your way back up there...  Jump over the crates and, in the end, push the button to open a door back in the room with the globe. That's where you have to go to now. Swim past the door and push the button within the alcove in the end. Get outside and head to the church in the yard. Pick up the KEY on the ground and, before going out, head to the far right corner and drop through the hole to find
SECRET #1 (flares). Outside, keep going to the right until you find a van and a ramp: walk up to the opening at the top. Monkey swing over the spikes and carefully drop to the lower red column, where you'll collect SECRET #2 (ammo). Work your way back into the mansion. Drop through the broken ground in the dining room (well, it was one, once) and run to the helicopter. Our short trip to the USA is over. Time to fly over the pond again. Next target: Portugal.
