TR2 - CASTLE OF TRAINING by GOLD DRAGON
WALKTHROUGH BY LUCAS TREEBLE
The level begins with Lara sliding down. Pull
the block twice, climb it and then climb up to the higher rocks. On this ledge,
pull the block out of the niche and get in to get the GOLD DRAGON. Slide back down. Pull the other block to reveal yet another
block, this one you should push inside. Fill in the gaps with these movable
blocks so you can maneuver the higher block to the other side of the room, and
finally climb up.
Slide down and run behind the rolling blade until the safe spaces so you don't
get hurt. There are some Uzi clips in the far space, by the wall. Dodge the
second blade, jump over the wall blades and climb the wall over the stationary
boulder. When you run down that hallway it will begin rolling, so quickly throw
the lever to be thrown to the higher level and avoid the menace. Go to the
right, jump to the small pools and get two small medipacks.
The readme tells the story of this place. There are three challenges to master
this temple: the body (left), the mind (right) and the fight (center) tests.
Let's begin with the body first, drop down to the left, run the hallway and do
the jump sequences. Climb the long way up, and nearing the ceiling, back flip
to another climbable wall. Climb this one till the end. In the middle of the
tunnel pull up through the ceiling into another tunnel. Pick up Uzi's, Uzi
ammo, and the JADE DRAGON. Get through this room full of rolling
blades, get both blocks together so you can pull the higher one out, go to
where it was and pick up a KEY. Use
it on the opposite side of the room to drop a broken floor, so you can pull the
block to operate the high lever on the wall. This one opens the door on the
opposite side. Get there. Walk through the razor blades and dive. Pick up a RUSTY KEY and a trapdoor will drop you.
Slide back to the three doors.
Now let's test her mind (try to keep sane with this one!). Slide down, keep
pushing the blocks until you find the heart of the volcano, full of lava and
boulders. Jump across the room, dodging the boulders and carefully stepping on
the safe tiles. Once on the other side, go down the steps and face one huge and
ingenious block puzzle. I won't really go into details here as this one can be
done several ways and it is rather easy, but very time consuming. Your goal is
to get the highest block on the niche on the other side of the room. To do so,
you will have to use all the movable blocks in this room and keep moving them
as you move the top one. (If you can't manage it, take the attached save game). Getting the top block across will open a door back in the lava
room.
Through it you will reach a hall with seven levers. Go to the path straight
ahead and beat this maze. Inside it there are some medipacks and a room with
symbols that represent the levers. You are on the mind test, so take note of
the mind symbols to pull the levers down back there. (SPOILER: body body mind body mind body mind). Enter the next room, pick up the medipacks and move the block
through the path to reach a higher climbable wall. Grab hold of it, shimmy all
the way to the left and climb up. Pull a lever to open the fight door and also
an exit door nearby. Get down and cross it.
Dive into the water, surface and climb up on the other side, go up the watery
ramp and push the lever to drain the place. Go back down, follow the tunnel,
get past the rolling blades and dive again. Swim up and you are back at the
three doors room. I strongly recommend you to save your game here because
what's coming next isn't really piece of cake...
In the first room, kill the three crows, pick up their keys, use them and a
door will open. Run through it holding down action so the bouncing pad will
throw you to the upper room. You will, then, be greeted by four hungry white
tigers. Using all technique and luck at your disposal, kill them in this small
room, then pick up the four keys and use them to open the door. In the next
room, kill the T-Rex, pick up the key and use it in a door with a key lock
nearby. Enter it and pick up the second RUSTY
KEY. Picking it will open up the other door. Follow through it to reach a
rocky valley, where you will meet two more T-Rexes and find two additional
keys. Use these two where you got the second rusty key to open the remaining
door. Jump over the blades and you're back at the three doors pool.
Follow back to the previous area and use both rusty keys. Jump over the molten
gold and climb up the wall. Jump to the opposite side, then jump on the
breakaway tiles and quickly climb up to the ledge. Jump over the gold once
again, climb up the wall, jump over the gap and shimmy to the left. Turn around
and climb some more. Jump to the pathway ahead and approach the MASK OF ZUIMATXU.
It's a trap, so as you slide down, quickly turn around and dodge both walls by
standing on the niche with a small medipack. Follow the passage. In the tunnel
with five breakaway tiles, fall down with the third one. Safely pick up the SILVER DRAGON. Climb back up to the tiles and run to the outside. Now, for a
change, climb down this cliff wall and enter the lower part of the castle. The
bird guardian will come for a final duel. As the Merovingian would say,
"kill him".
End
of Level.
