The Lost Base
Level by LoR
Walkthrough by DJ Full
Go E and pick up a large medikit. Enter the base and
kill a ninja lurking in the dark. Run around the central computer and grab
another large medi from behind it. Advance upstairs, find a small medi behind
the container and another one on the top of raised block under the ladder.
Climb this ladder and backflip to land on the upper
floor. Kill 2 more ninjas (use target switching - tap Look key). One of the opponents
drops next large medi. Once more, go upstairs,
killing another ninja on your way to the next location (try jumping over him
several times while shooting). Up there, a ninja may behave oddly - he might
try to escape through a crawlspace. So keep the distance and kill him shooting
rapidly at him when he gets stuck. Go through the crawlspace he was trying to
escape into. On the other side, pick up the uzi and
some clips lying on the floor on the right of the crawlspace you left. Proceed
through the only one corridor, picking some more uzi
clips on your way to the slope. Slide down and, after passing one more
corridor, fall into the water. Turn around and swim through the passage until
you reach the junction. First, go up and resurface, then follow the second part
of the passage until you reach two holes in the ceiling, one after another. Get
out of the water through the first one. Climb the invisible ladder using Lara's
hands ONLY (there's no normal climb animation in this level, so you HAVE TO
perform this trick if you wanna finish the game).
Several minutes of patience later, dozens of clicks higher, pull up onto a
ledge. Now turn around and shimmy right, grabbing the extremely long crack.
When possible, pull up and make several steps ahead, to avoid being pushed off
ledge by a ninja waiting for you up here.
Kill the bad guy and follow another ludicrous corridor till you reach the hole.
Just for curiosity, I accidentally found a fully-functional monkey swing above
this hole. You can try it. Then, safety drop down, losing
half of your health. Never mind, this game is so easy that only your own
stupid mistakes can delay you. I killed Lara at least several thousand times
due to such mistakes and I'm not ashamed of this so you don't have to be as
well. Ehhm... follow the next corridor. Safety drop
into the green (the ladder, as you can see, does not work). Kill a ninja. Go
around the pillar WITHOUT a ladder to trigger and murder next red warrior. Fall
down into the next room and follow the "railway" track (ninja!).
Watch out for the gap at the end of the track (I didn't notice it, but I was
sprinting, so I managed to grab the ledge). Jump over it and enter open space.
Sprint to the other side of the Serious Sam-like canyon and, again, fall into
the water. Behind you. The passage.
Swim through and resurface when possible. The author has commited
an unforgivable mistake in this place - you can't get out of the water because
of too high bank. If you want, you can dozy up there... only to find a ramp
ending on a wall, without finish trigger at its end.
