Lara Croft: Tomb Raider Infada
Power (Demo 2.0)
Level by Raidermatty
Walkthrough by DJ Full
- the last one of Walkthrough Polymerase I project
- the penultimate one before we reach 100% of WTs.
So remember this wonderful thing happened at 3:37 PM (CET), 2 Dec (2010).
GENERAL TIPS:
- prepare for backtracking for at least 45 minutes
- secrets are simply constructed, but open your mind to find them
- you can open some doors with a trigger located in completely different part
of the game, so if you take a sheet of paper and note suspicious portals, it
can happen you won't need this WT at all.

LEVEL 1: LONDON'S BUILDING
SCAFFOLDING
Pick up a SM from the cupboard in the NE corner and go in the nearby corridor.
Press the switch and get outside to face the first Sophia's minion. To minimize
damage, sprint towards the platform he's standing on and backflip
on it while shooting, then get as close to the enemy as possible. Pick up some
normal shells and either MS or RJGP on the other side. Pull up on the upper
shelf. SECRET 1: Shatter the wall on your left. Get in the revealed corridor
for a LM, some flares and 40 x MP5 NA. Green gems refill your health. If you
played TR3 you know them as Save Gems - bump into the one you see in front of
you and get back through the corridor on the previous shelf to find (and
ignore) another crystal of this kind. Throw a wall switch and the camera gives
you an angled view. Also, a trapdoor can be heard open. From the awning, RJ on
the SW block and switch to manual targeting
(recommended). Pull up through the open trapdoor on the yet higher shelf to
kill another guy and grab some UC. SECRET 2: Jump over the S slope, curving
left and press Action just before the wall to avoid bouncing off it. Land on a walkable part of the slope, losing some health (that's why
you ignored the last gem), for a hidden shotgun. SJ back on the 1st enemy
platform and get back on the Save Gem shelf - now you can refill your lifebar. Climb on the 2nd baddie shelf one more time and
RJGP on the roof above the 2nd secret. Hop on the upper shelf and switch to
auto targeting to kill a gaper. Climb the W ladder, don't pull until you shimmy
left as far as you can, then pull up on the slope and grab again. Now your legs
are free, so you can shimmy to the wall fragment on the left of the ladder.
Pull up and BMR/GP on the painter's elevator. From here, RJ
on the SW awning and get 10 x DEA from the nearby balcony. RJ back on the awning, RJ back on the painter's elevator and
finally RJ on the NW ledge. From here, shatter two grates on the other
side of the street, one above another. Pull a switch behind the wall to raise a
door above Jean-Yves's studio exit. Remember this door - you'll need to go
through it near the end of the game.
NEARLY SUICIDAL DROP
Of course, it was dmdibl who said the words
"nearly suicidal drop", what made me eager to trustfully throw myself
into any abyss closest to me. And it appeared it was the right one. This guy is
awesome, he helped me write walkthrus
more than anyone else. Big, big thanks. So, for SECRET 3, you need to face the
NW bridge linking both buildings, RJ on it, SD from its E ledge, bounce off the
slope, land on the other one, grab its ledge, shimmy left, land on the
platform, shatter a grate blocking the way into the
building and get through the crawlspace. Entering it is a little bit tricky -
you need to crawl backwards as close as possible, turn around and hit Draw to
move Lara inside. Collect NS, refill health with Save Gem, grab UC and some NG.
Kill 2 rats in the following crawlspace and a punching guard in the corridor
behind it. Go left to press a switch and get through the open door back to
Jean-Yves's studio.
SCAFFOLDING 2
Climb the scaffolding back to the place where you went up the ladder from. This
time shatter the E grate to get through the crawlspace.
WAREHOUSE
On the other side, follow the MS to grab some flares from the other side of the
dark warehouse. SD in the hole next to them and go through
the nearest corridor to fall into the water.
INTO THE INDUSTRIAL
Down there, throw a switch on the N. On your way to the open trapdoor on the S,
pick up some NS. From the upper water room behind the trapdoor, get 2 NG. Exit of the water and drop into the next pool to find some MP5 EA
on the far bank above the underwater lever. SAVE, as pulling this switch
starts a timed run. You need to climb the blocks on the other side of the pool
(hop sideways to land on the first one instead of pulling up) and platform to
the door (jump on the far corner of the first platform to avoid flames,
JG/shimmy around the next one and pull up on the corner closest to the door,
then JGP through the portal) before it shuts. SAVE. Follow the corridor (the
door opens behind you for later evacuation), time two flame emitters and pull
up into the crawlspace. Behind it, switch to manual targeting and kill a
soldier for some more DEA. Get UC from the SE corner and push the W grate 4
times to reveal the neighbouring room.
THE INDUSTRIAL
You're on a very, very high edge. If you fall into the
water down there, it's game over. Starting from a gap in the railing on the SW,
use the metal supports to get across the hall. Move the block N as far as you
need to be able to hop from this block and grab the ledge of the next crate,
high in the corner. Pull up and get some MP5 WA to claim SECRET 4. Get back
towards the gap in the railing and climb down the ladder. Jump through the
nearest opening into another crate storage. Shatter a dynamite stick (!) above
the boxes on your left (reveals a switch in the control room on the lower
floor). Refill your health with a Save Gem behind the far crates if you need
to. Get back in the opening and jump on the central platform for some MP5 WA on
the S crates. Get some NS from the NW corner. Through the S
hole, SD on the lower floor. RJG the ledge in the NW
corner and SD on yet lower floor. Get UC from behind the pillar and
stand next to the ladder to activate a thug on the roof. Kill him from a safe
distance and jump on his roof for DEA. Get on the neighbouring roof, go E and
RJGP in the farthest right pillar. Turn right and spot some WS in the niche -
hop in and grab them. Right below this alcove, there is another one - get back
on the previous pillar and drop in the niche from here for a SM. Using the pillars,
platform N till you can SD on the crates behind the whole set. BJ around the W pillar to land by the pipe. Pull the wall
switch behind it. Jump over the pipe but don't fall in the water. BJ around the next pillar and get on a tile next to the ladder.
Jump over the railing to land on the central platform. Get NS from behind the
pillar in the SW corner, jump back over the last railing and climb the ladder
you ignored seconds ago. From the upper floor, climb another ladder on your
right to return to the roof level. Get on the closest roof and E to the flame
room. Hop on the box in the NE corner and press the switch. Timed run! Ignore
the flames, use the side pillars again and, from the
last one, jump diagonally through the door before it shuts. Escape on the box
and switch to automatic targeting.
SOME MORE PUSHABLES
Kill a dog running around your crate. Check the W
passage, that one you revealed with that switch behind the pipe, and shoot
another dog on your way through. In the following room, there is a slow guy to
eliminate, a LM to pick up from the table in the SE corner and UC behind the N
boxes. Push the block in the following passage to get to the switch. Press it
and a door opens. Get back to the 1st dog room. Push a crate in the NW corner
to be ambushed by a soldier lurking in the next room. This is a slow-turning,
easy enemy. Move the crate E to reveal the stairs (and once S to make the way
out for later backtrack). Going down them, kill a Sophia's malicious servant of
a new kind. Don't get too close to him - he punches. At the bottom, move
another crate S and pull it 3E. Get UC from the boxes on the other side of the
room and, jumping up, shatter a NW grate from the
container next to you. Hop on the moved crate, pull up
into the opening and RJ curving right to GP in the crawlspace behind the no
more existing grate. Follow this passage and hit (not avoid!) the laser beam to
reveal a switch you may have seen through the grate behind the 1st pool area.
Flames are lit so you can't go through the corridor. For now.
Drop back to the moved crate room, pull the box one more time to free yourself,
go upstairs and through the door on your right. Follow the corridor to watch
the first cutscene. Jean-Yves phones to Lara and parla italiano.
CUTSCENE DIALOGUE
Jean:
Lara! Mi senti? Sono qui! Esattamente alla tua destra
c'č un piccolo condotto d'areazione, che collega direttamente
i magazzini in cui ti trovi, al mio
studio. Una volta
tanto le mappe d'orientamento di questi edifici servono a qualcosa. Ascoltami attentamente: trova il
modo di entrare
negli edifici di Sophia! Evita di gingillare pių
di tanto! Ormai non manca ancora molto...
Sophia interrupts:
Un piccolo sforzo.
Jean:
E...cosa? Chi siete?
Ehi Lara! Aiuto, aiuto!!
Translation
Jean:
Lara! Can you hear me? I'm here! Just on your right there is a small
ventilation duct, which connects the buildings where you are directly with my
studio. For once maps of orientation of these buildings are useful for
something. Listen carefully: find a way to enter Sophia's buildings! Avoid
fiddling too much! Now there is still a lot of work...
Sophia interrupts:
And a little effort.
Jean:
E... what? Who are you? Hey Lara! Help, help!
PUTTING THE FIRST FIRE OUT
There's a guy on the roof behind you. So keep close to the N wall while
fighting a gaper, and you'll avoid bullets for now.
Hide behind the pillar and press the switch to let the dog out. Shoot it, still
remaining beyond the gunman's range. Don't try to climb the pillar, as there is
a burning floor on its top. Pick up some NS from among the S crates. Wait for
the baddy on the roof to stand behind the gap in the railing. Now kill him,
find some WS on the W crate and go through the door the dog was behind.
THE STICKNESS CAGE: WATCH OUT!
If you PULL the crate in the NE corner, you'll prevent yourself from finding a
secret! If you push it and release Action, you'll get thrown into the cage
above you and miss a secret as well. If you push that box as far as you can
WITHOUT releasing Action to find the secret - you will get it, but will be
stuck as well. So leave this crate for now. Move the block from the SE corner
1W, 4N and 1W to make a gap for a cube standing in the SW corner. Move that block. Now, when all 3 crates form a line, pull
the cage out of the trigger square and throw a switch behind it. The flames are
gone. Now, for that dangerous secret: the stickness
cage is moved away, so you can pull the 3rd block off the NE corner to reveal
SECRET 5 - a room with NS, MP5 NA and a Save Gem.
PUTTING THE SECOND FIRE OUT
Grab the pickups and get back to the 1st dog room and through the 2nd dog
passage into the extinguished fire room. Now you can press the button
above the no more harmful fireplace to open the door. Kill a rat behind it and
climb the next ladder to get in the passage on the left, hearing an alarming
sound. This is not a drill! There is a drill! Time it, as well as two more
behind it, and throw a switch. It's the one you revealed in the fire
crawlspace, and it makes that fire be no more. So go back all the way to that
place and go through at last.
ACROSS THE FIRE
Destroy the grate at the end, switch to manual and drop into the new room. Kill
2 thugs with rapid fire and hop on the block to avoid a dog. Switch back to
automatic and get rid of the four-legged aggressor. One of the opponents
dropped a LM - get it, as well as some NS from behind the NW boxes. Climb the S
crates to pull up on the shelf from there. Press a switch at the far end. It
opens the door in the rat corridor, behind the 1st extinguished fireplace. Go
there and through the portal. Behind it, grab the ceiling and swing across the
burning floor, watching out for the drill. Shatter the grate on the other side
and go in the crawlspace, where you need to advance 3 squares and wait for a
rat to come. Shoot it and crawl till you can stand up. Follow the passage to
drop in the lower one. The door opens and you can get outside again.
FUSES FROM THE OUTSIDE
Go up the ramp, on the blocks behind it, kill a gaper, RJG the MS and go
across. Climb the blocks and go over the S one to find a crack in the wall. You
need to refill your health. Stand in the SE corner of the ledge, face N and tap
Left once or twice, so when you draw your weapon and jump sideways, you can
shatter the grate during the fall. Clever guy, this builder is. Get back to the
platform you jumped off, grab its ledge and shimmy to the crevice. Drop and
grab the crawlspace edge. Pull up. Inside, collect SECRET 6 - some FG and a LM.
Get out, swing across the gap again and get on the bridge you were swinging
under seconds ago. Spot a crawlspace on the NW, with some flames behind it.
Draw the shotgun, target the blockade and destroy it. You can't enter the
crawlspace yet. First you need to get rid of those flames. Get on the upper
bridge and find a bomb attached to the wall above the W slope. Target it with
your shotgun and destroy! The flames don't exist, but before you go behind
them, shatter the SW wall fragment and RJ into the revealed niche for the Fuse.
Get out and climb the ladder on the E. Go through the crawlspace on the top.
Pull up on the construction above it. RJ in the opening
behind a crack in the block hanging low on the SW. This jump must be
perfect - curve its last phase right a little bit. When you succeed, throw a
switch to open a door. Drop onto a roof on the left of the no more hot
crawlspace, grab the ledge and shimmy right to pull up for another Fuse. One more to go. Crawl out, hang, shimmy left to the very far
end of the roof, pull up and RJM, curving right to land on the awning.
Now the intended way is to:
- climb the ladder one more time, go through the following crawlspace, pull up
on the upper ledge again, RJGP on the W bridge, watch a cutscene,
jump in the nearby room to throw a switch, go across the bridge of green goo to
descend to the open door for some flares and SD in the lower room, grab a SMP
and WS from the side blocks, throw a switch between them to make the way out,
get back outside, stand on the edge of the ramp on the left of the exit, runjump SW, curving left to land on the cornice with the
last fuse to collect and, finally, go back through the door that led you here.
However, another good way is to:
RJ across the street. Go up the ramp and hop on the upper one, but don't follow
it yet. Runjump SW, curving left to land on the
cornice with the last fuse to collect. Grab the item. You've got all of them.
Go up the remaining ramps, killing a thug on your way to the bridge of green
goo. Go across it to watch the second (and last) cutscene.
I know I led you here from the direction that is opposite to what the author
intended, but it seems this way is faster than normal one, because a descending
backtrack is generally faster than an ascending one. Jump over the gap on your
right (according to Lara's starting position after the camera is off) to get
through the door and throw a switch. It opens the door in a place where you
killed the last thug. Go behind that portal for some flares and SD in the lower
room. Grab a SMP and WS from the side blocks and throw a switch between them.
That makes the way out of this place, through the same door that led you here.
Independently of the path you choose, you will watch the second and last cutscene near the bridge of green goo. This time it's Lara
who parla italiano.
CUTSCENE SPEECH
Lara:
Mio Dio! Cosa diavolo č questa
roba? A prima apparenza,
mi sembra lo stesso materiale genetico generato dai
test su quelle specie di mutanti nei
centri di ricerche subacquee di Sophia vicino al Tunnel della Manica. Potrebbe essere
lo stesso, creato dalla mano di
Rathmore e dalle altre pietre Infada.
Devo saperne di pių
e sopratutto devo entrare nella Leigh Corporation.
Translation
Lara:
My God! What the hell is this stuff? At first appearance, it seems to me that
it's the same genetic material generated from tests on those mutant species in
Sophia's research centers, underwater, near the
Channel Tunnel. It can be the same, created by the Hand of Rathmore
and other Infada stones. I must learn more and, above
all, I must go to Leigh Corporation.
BACK INSIDE
With the fuses in your backpack, get back inside. Go up the ladder and swing
across the fire pit once again. At the end of the MS, release and hold Action
to grab the lower edge. Pull up and backtrack all the way to the receptacle
room, behind the crawlspace of laser and fire. You visited that passage twice
already, so you know where it is. Place the keys to open the door. Time a drill
behind it and press a switch at the dead end of the corridor. Camera shows you
where to now - back to the industrial!
THE INDUSTRIAL 2
Get on the roof and through the open portal behind it. Safety drop into the
hole at the end of the corridor, enter the new room and grab some MP5 WA from
behind the crates in the NW corner. Find some FG on the 2nd window frame and
throw a switch on the left of the pickup. The remaining switch in the control
room is released - get out of the room, climb the ladder back to the roof level
and use the familiar ladder in the NW corner of the central area to move one
floor higher. Go in the central control room to throw two switches at last. A
key appears. RJ E and pick it up from between the steel swingies.
The item is named "Aqueduct Key", and the slot for it is... ho! ho! ho! Almost at
the beginning.
LARA CROFT AND THE GREAT BACKTRACK
Get to the place where you've pushed the first cage. Yes. All the way up. The
first ladder is in the SW corner. Then you need to either climb the one you've
already used to descend in here, or grab the hanging box and platform to the
highest ledge using the metal supports. No matter how you do it, from the top
you need to get back all the way through the crawlspace, flame emitters and
pools, to the very first pool. Pull the underwater lever to switch the
trapdoors and resurface in the first hole.
NOT THE END YET: WAREHOUSE 2
Get out of the water and into the backstreet. Put the Aqueduct Key in the slot
in the S passage. Go through the door and pull 2 levers in the control panel.
The left one opens the door in the industrial area, the right one spawns 2
baddies. Wait for them behind a wall...
LARA CROFT REVERSES THE GREAT BACKTRACK
Go back in the industrial zone and enter the door on
the NW of the control room with 2 switches pressed by you not so long ago.
INDUSTRIAL 3
Behind the door, there is another lever. Pull it and
through the grate you can clearly see another switch reveal, and the room you
can look into is that one you've revealed in the beginning of the game - the
one above the Jean-Yves studio exit.
GETTING BACK ON THE SCAFFOLDING: WAREHOUSE 3
Repeat THE GREAT BACKTRACK chapter and use the ladder in front of the
exit of the pool to climb on the 1st flares platform. Swing across the room and
go through the crawlspace once more.
SCAFFOLDING 3
Drop on the lower roof and RJ towards the so long awaited room with Action
held. Inside, grab some DEA and press the switch. Another fire is gone.
Exiting, RJ on the lowest awning, slide backwards and SD to the ground. Get
back on the painter's elevator and RJ on the NW ledge. If you didn't do it when
you were here for the first time - shatter the grates on the other side of the
street. Now, climb the ladder next to the switch pressed once upon a time. On
the top, there is a tile of the last extinguished burning floor. Catch the zipline and slide across the street.
INFILTRATING SOPHIA LEIGH CORPORATION
Before you go in, grab UC and a LM from by the
exhauster on the left of the entrance. Get back in the opening and pick up some
flares. Enter the crawlspace. Shimmy around the pit with some barbed wires at
the bottom. Go through the next crawlspace, watch out for steam, find a SM,
shimmy around another pit timing another gas water emitter and continue to the
end, where you need to shatter a grate.
SOPHIA LEIGH CORPORATION
It seems to be warmer in here. Press the switch behind
the plant and kill a guard in the revealed passage. Go through, into the next
room. Get a SM from the SE corner, pull the crate out of the NE one and move it
on a marked tile in the SW corner. One door in the corridor opens and you can
grab SECRET 7 - 2 UC and the uzis. Get back to the
crate room and SAVE before you enter the revealed one. In there, you need to
sneak behind a guy - if he spots you, he turns on a ceiling sentry gun and
you're doomed. You have to walk behind the desk and the chair, for not to touch
anything, and to the corner, where a plant grows. Just like in case of the
previous one, there is a switch behind it. Throw it and get out reversing the
way you got in. Now the second door in the corridor is open. Kill another
punching guard behind it and get SG from him. Advance, pull up in the opening
and throw a switch in the following aquarium (the guy in the sentry room
doesn't seem to notice you). The exit opens - go back to the crate room and
downstairs. Kill a dog on your way to the next switch. Open the door and get
outside.
THAT OTHER SCAFFOLDING
RJ ahead on the bridge and don't stop, as the killing machine is on the move!
Hide in front of the table and pick up Warehouse Card from it. Remember the
WAREHOUSE chapter? Yes. That's it. SD on the W platform, then
jump on the painter's elevator. RJ on the roof with a Save Gem and
refill your life. Several more drops and you can pick up some NS from next to
the ramp corner at the bottom of the scaffolding. And throw the nearby switch
to access another one. Kill a gaper appearing after this and go up the ramps to
pull up through the hole in the NE corner. Throw a switch to open a door. Grab
some UC from the top of the stairs. RJGP on the awning, RJGP
on the elevator and kill a guy on the balcony. Get there and on the N
awning. RJGP on the E terrace, spot a door and a nearby keyhole. Remember it.
You'll be back. Now nothing can prevent you from grabbing another zipline and sliding back to the previous scaffolding.
SCAFFOLDING 4
Climb to the warehouse.
WAREHOUSE 5
Shoot a dog in the NE corner. Place Warehouse Card in the reader and get
through the portal. Go across the other part of the warehouse and grab UC from
next to the open door. This is the one you've opened with the last switch. From
the room behind the passage, collect Service Door Key. Kill a dog attacking
from behind and eliminate a slow guy in the neighbouring warehouse segment. The
item you've just obtained is for the door on the top of THE OTHER SCAFFOLDING.
It means... Oh no...
LARA CROFT AND YET MORE GREATER BACKTRACK
Get back through all the locations described from SCAFFOLDING 3 chapter to the
very end of SOPHIA LEIGH CORPORATION part to get back on the second
scaffolding.
THAT OTHER SCAFFOLDING 2
Place the key and enter the door.
SOPHIA LEIGH CORPORATION: ANOTHER SEGMENT
This will probably be in the next level.
