Level 1 – Atlantic Ocean

 

Secrets: 0

 

You start this level underwater with no air hole, but two sharks in sight. Swim to the S side of the pyramid, spot the opening and follow a very long water passage (you can get air in one of the rooms) until you can climb out. Head into the right tunnel and find Shotgun Ammo, Wideshot Shotgun Ammo, Flares and a Large Medipack. Return to the junction and head right, pick up the Flares, the Shotgun Ammo and a Small Medipack, then follow the corridor. Sprint through the arrow traps, then at the ramp stand-jump over more arrows, dash down and jump over the spike gap before the boulder catches you. Use the just raised trapdoor to jump over the spikes, then sprint to the end before the other trapdoors drop down. Kill the Atlantean mutant, then pick up a Small Medipack and 2x Shotgun Ammo in the passage and enter the crawlspace. Drop down into the water, get out at the larger hole and shoot the shark from safety. On the ledges are Shotgun Ammo, Wideshot Shotgun Ammo and a Large Medipack; use the floor lever and dive into the pool. In the water pick up Wideshot Shotgun  Ammo, Flares, a Large Medipack, then climb out SW opposite where you came from, pick up the Shotgun Ammo and use the jumpswitch above. Jump to the ladder, climb up to the top, let go of Action and drop down a bit, then backflip with a midair turn and grab the opposite crawlspace. Enter the next chamber and use the floor lever, then return through the crawlspace, drop down into the water and get back up to the ladder. This time climb through the crawlspace where you came from, head left and follow the passage to a just opened chamber and two Atlantean mutants to fight. Enter the next doorway and kill another Atlantean mutant, then pick up the Pharos Pillar on the pedestal to finish this level.

 

 

Level 2 – Top-Secret Military Laboratory

 

Secrets: 0

 

Pick up the Pharos Pillar in front of you, meet Von Croy and go up the stairs around the central structure to place the artifact. Watch the cutscene and the level already changes again.

Use the jumpswitch in the NW corner, then head back to the main hall, go around the upper walkway and a door opens, kill a raptor and head along the ledge to find Uzi ammo at the end. Now enter Lara's bedroom and pick up the Small Medipack on the bed. Approach the self-opening door to the balcony and pick up Uzi Ammo and a Small Medipack; kill an attacking pterodactyl.

Run into the pool room, kill two raptors and look behind the statues in the side alcoves for a Large Medipack and Uzi Ammo; in the pool are Shotgun Ammo and Flares. Now go to the cellar door (opened by the floor lever in the weapon chamber), go down and kill two little dinosaurs. Find Revolver Ammo and drop into the open trapdoor, follow the passage and find Secret #1, the Grenadegun, a Small Medipack and Flares. Climb back out and head up into the main hall. Enter the kitchen, kill a raptor and two little dinosaurs and head to the blue doors SW that open themselves. Kill two pterodactyls and if you roam around a bit also two T-Rexes (with a shot in their belly, as usual). Mount the bike and drive to the entrance gates which open themselves, then over four raptors. When you arrive at a pit dismount and climb down the ladder on the W side of the pit to the ground. Spot a SW hole, drop down and follow the passage to Secret #2, Shotgun Ammo, Uzi Ammo, Grenades, Flares and a Large Medipack.
