Red arrow is
direction
The Hobo.
Go straight over the crossing and
open a door on the right at the bottom of the steep street. Go in and all
the way to the back and find a Banana
laying on the floor behind the stall on the left. Climb up (N) and give the
Banana to the poor guy. He will leave and then push in the window he was
sitting in front of (left hand one).
Follow through and open the next
door. Go to the end of this corridor and pick up
Flares and a
Medipack near the chair. Open the
door at the end, get on the balcony and open the manhole while facing E.
Some “White Powder”.
Get down through the manhole, go to
the crossing and take a right (S). Go over the bridge on the right and go to
the left, open the manhole while facing E again (leave it you will be back).
Turn around and open the door to the Cafe at the end (W) and take a right
and talk to the guy there. He gives Lara a sack with
Some White Powder.
Lara: I need to get into the Catacombs, can you help me?
Cris: It’ll cost
you
Lara: Yeah, how
much?
Cris: I need to
get something personal into the hands of the butcher, he is across the way.
Lara: Ok, what is
it?
Cris: That is not
your concern
Lara: Really?
Cris: Do you want
access or not?
Lara: Ok, I’ll
see what I can do.
Pistols.
Look behind the counter; get the
Flares and a Medipack. At the other end of the Cafe is a kitchen, come back here
later, because you can shoot the plates on the counter on the left. But we
don’t have the pistols yet. When you want to leave the Café…
Police: Halt, you
are under arrest
Lara: I need to
lure those cops away from that manhole cover, as there may be someone in the
butcher’s who can help take care of them for me.
Run out to the left (first be sure
there is no cop there) and keep running/jumping over the bridge. Lure the
police to the left and again a left on the crossing. Go through the door to
the market stalls and through the window where the hobo was sitting. Keep
running through the corridor but be careful, be sure the police is somewhere
searching for Lara at the market stalls so you can climb down safely and get
back to the bridge and left into the other manhole you opened before.
The Sewers, Butcher Shop.
Wade through the water to the next
ladder and climb up, get the Flares
and Medipack and around the
corner enter the open door. In the room with the Girl and het big knife,
push the button on the wall left (W) this opens the door to the outside. The
woman will take care of the police. Wait till she kills all 3, you can hear
them grunt. (I hid in the meat locker)
Lara: Looks like
that is the last of them. Perhaps I can go see that Butcher now?
Talk to the Butcher:
Butcher: Thank
you.
Lara: You’re
welcome.
Butcher: here is
a Key and something else to help you on your way.
Lara: I guess
this Key opens a door somewhere down below, maybe the subway?
To the Catacombs.
You’ll get the
Catacombs Key and Pistols
from the Butcher. Go back out and now you can go into the Café kitchen,
shoot the plates and get
Secret #1, an
Obscura painting (replica). Get out, go over the bridge and left, left
and climb the ladder under the balcony. Now walk the rope (S) all the way to
the end (you can also just let Lara fall from
the rope near the crossing rope) and safety drop down from the ledge
there. If you want, you can use the button here; it opens the gate next to
it.
The Trains.
Go down the wooden stairs and go
straight. Go to the right where there is an opening in the fence and run to
the other side (W wall). When you walk a bit along the slope of stone to the
S, a train will come. So look out for that and hop back into the wider part
to let it pass. Run or sprint to the wider part a bit further S, as another
train will come. Open the manhole (face N) and jump in. Follow down and use
the Catacombs Key to open the gate there. Get in and a flock of nasty
bats are pestering Lara, run to the breakable tile on the left and fall
through. Go to the end and watch the flyby as it contains the clue for the
next puzzle….
Push Puzzle.
There are 4 blocks in the 4 corners
of the room that need pushing (at the end is a bookstand with on it a book,
it reads:
Let the light
reveal the path of virtue. Let the darkness reveal only death and misery).
So push them all four into the muddy
water (into the nearest corners), this way the flow is stopped and the
trench will drain. Now pull one of them (NE - 7 pulls) on that tile with an
arrow and the one (SE - 8 pulls) to the tile with the 3 dots (bluish light
that comes from the windows Lara uncovered). You can use other blocks too,
but this was the shortest way.
If you stop between pushing you
might hear gates opening when you push one of the blocks on different tiles
but they are all traps apart from two we already opened now. Look for a
small curtain with three dots SW corner and get a
Medipack and
Flares. The second gate that
opened is the exit…
Now pull the left block (face E)
once more to the W and another gate opens up,
it is the third gate from the SW corner, left of the one you just visited.
Inside is
Secret #2, an
Obscura painting (replica).
The open exit gate is also in the S
wall (curtain with arrow, bit further to the E), crawl in and hurry and be
sure to have your health topped up.
Lara: I better
hurry; this place is filled with hallucinogenic gas.
Crawl through and drop down.
Catacombs, opening the Trapdoors.
Lara: What on
earth are those guys doing? And why is that creature watching them? I must
be dreaming… maybe I can get it to attack them?
Crawl out and have a bit of a look
around. The Golden Cat has to kill the 4 knights that are standing in the
corners (you and the Cat have to stand on the same tile to get that done).
After they are dead the guy in the middle falls through the trapdoor. To the
N of the trapdoor and just right of where you came in is a crawlspace with a
Medipack and Flares, the
only way I could get in was to jump forward against the opening and
immediately duck, get back out.
Go to the tile SW tile were the
knight was and go W and to first opening left and immediately to the right
(W), there should be a skeleton there in a crawlspace. Stand all the way to
the right, grab and crawl in, go left around that skeleton and pick up
secret #3, an Obscura Painting
(replica). Get out the same way.
Head back to where the guy fell
through the trapdoor, better make a savegame then stand on the edge of the
trapdoor and hop backwards into the pit while holding Ctrl (N side, right
hand tile, that worked the best for me). There’s an updraft slowing the fall
and as long as you land on the floor you’re OK. Watch out for the pits and
those red candles are also dangerous.
First go and pick up a
Medipack near the cross, in the E side of this place are another
Medipack and a
small medipack. On a
bookstand (W of the cross) is a book, read it:
As above, so
below, where do those skeletons go?
Choose badly, and
things will end madly.
Go to the E wall and look up, you
can see a skeleton through the glass, that’s a hint. Pull the one in the SE
corner towards the E wall so it is under the one above. Go to the NE corner
and pull that one as well.
Go to the NW corner and pull that
one towards the W wall, same goes for the one in the SW corner. A giant
demon appears.
Shoot it and go to the W wall, in
the middle is a hole with an opening, dive in the water and swim W and up,
keep swimming W and at the end is air. You can climb out and make a note of
the placement of the windows in the wall. Swim a bit back and at the pipes
swim left (or right) and up through a shaft in the middle of the room. Go to
the S side of the waterhole and get the clue:
There must be
certain pulleys I need to pull. Perhaps I should take a look at the wall of
bones for a clue? I need to go back in the water to get there (W side, we’ve
been there).
Go stand at the N side and
turn around, the tiles on the floor look like a colourful face of a skull.
Remember the placement of the windows? Pull only those chains for the two
eyes, one for the nose and three for the mouth.
(IE: Pull the N, E and W chain at
the water hole.
Face N and now pull from left to
right the 2nd, 3rd and the 4th chain.)
You’ll see that the whole area W is
now filled with water. Dive into the water and swim W and up and climb into
the openings there. Left and right to pick up
2 Griffin’s Crystals.
Dive into the water again and now
swim to the other side (E) and take a left or right then swim up. Get out
and put the Griffin’s Crystals in the receptacles and the bird will open the
wall opposite where it sat. Shoot the Griffin and get into that opening.
Follow the path and pull the string
at the end, enter and watch the flyby. There are two boulders here one on
the left side of the S slope and one left as well on the E slope. Make your
way down to the ground floor go into the left corner of the water to get
Flares and a small medipack.
Get out and go to the SE corner of
the rock. Turn around and jump up the flat corner there. There is an opening
W in the wall, so jump there.
Lara: I wonder if
that blockage could be eaten away?
Use the reach-in hole, triggering a
bunch of rats and make your way to the outside and jump in the water in
between the plants. Pick up a
Medipack and Flares, then
when the blockage is eaten away, swim the W and follow through to the end.
Climb out and..
Lara: I need the
Sword that skeleton is carrying, but my pistols aren’t strong enough to
defeat it.
Go straight (N) and open the
trapdoor and follow through.
Voice: One bone
alone will carry you home, but two or three and you belong to me.
Go to the skeleton and pick up the
two Waterskins. Then jump into
the small pool and get 1 litre of water in one of the skins.
Fill the small waterskin.
Select the small waterskin then combine it with the large one. You should
now have the large waterskin with three litres and the small waterskin
empty. Fill the small skin again. Select it and combine it with the large
one. You should now have the large waterskin with five litres and the small
one with one litre.
Go to the cauldron with the
Golden skeleton head and empty the skin in there and it will burst. Pick up
some Crossbow Explosive Arrows.
Go back (S) and climb out and find
another trapdoor in the W. Follow through and around the corner left is a
switch, use it. Go in the opening on the right and pull/push the block out
and onto the tile where the other block disappeared. The block will shatter
and pick up the two Some Bones
up, combine them into a Crossbone
and leave SE. Once back up, select the Explosive arrows, kill the skeleton
and pick up his Sword. Go to the
NE and find a ledge near the trapdoor you gran up to. Start jumping to the
left (NW) and climbing till you can jump to a ledge in the S where a crowbar
lever is. Use it (face E) and jump the block on the right hand side (S).
Turn and climb up the ladder.
When you arrive at the first ledge
on the left, shift to the left and pull up. Grab the
Flares and a Medipack and
get back to the ladder to climb even higher. Go left and at the wall take a
right.
Lara: It should
like I should activate certain levers. But, which ones? The placement of the
gate in the corner may be a clue. Hopefully I will get the right angle on
this.
Get in the water and in the about
the middle of the room is a coffin, get the
Flares and
Medipack and have a look at the coffin, that is the clue. Go around the
corner to the right and at the next pillar you can climb up for a switch (it
resets the puzzle so no need to use it now).
Swim back to the entrance (SW
corner) and start pulling all 4 underwater levers in the row to the E wall.
Swim straight to the next one (N) and pull that one, take a left (W) and
pull NOT the next (#2) but pull #
3. Swim N over the coffin and take a right (E) and pull the last two levers
in this row. Then swim N and pull the last one (NE).
Swim to the SE corner, the gate is
open so go in and follow through to the end of this bridge and use the Sword
at the lever. Walk to the edge of the bridge, turn around and climb down the
vines, go left around the corner and up into the space under the bridge for
Secret #4,
the Obscura Painting. Get back on the vines, go right around the corner
and just drop down into the water under the open trapdoors below. Swim
straight (S) and pull the underwater lever. Lara ends up on dry land, all
the water has gone. Turn around and open the sarcophagus for
Secret #5,
the Obscura Painting.
Back to the underwater lever and go
into the right hand opening, get
Flares and a Medipack in the
corner, and face the wall E, backflip on a slope and grab the edge, pull up
and roll/jump to get on a ledge. To the right is a
Shovel, crawls and grab it, watch
out for the spikes. Carefully drop down and now take the left opening at the
underwater lever and use the shovel on that grave.
Go out and enter a hallway. On the
right is a TIMED switch, pull it and run jump over the spiked traps (or
sprint through the middle) into the open door. The crowbar lever there opens
the doors again (in case you want to go back).
Go
to the left and you’ll get to the next part of the level.
Parisian Catacombs Part 2.
When you get to
part 2 with the 5 Secrets in your inventory, you’ll get the Grenade Launcher
as a Bonus.
Turn around and use the wheel and
roll, then go through the open door, slide down and Lara looks up. There is
a deadly Giant Head there so do not dilly dally and run to the far right
hand corner (NW), let the Giant head shoot at you once while you take cover
behind the block and pick up the
Laser sight and the Revolver
while he is recharging. Take cover, combine them and you know the drill
shoot his eyes out while being on the move.
Best way is to combine the Revolver
right away, stand against the block and turn a bit so you are already facing
him, wait for him to recharge and hop back, quickly aim up and shoot. Run
back behind the block. Target his eyes. After he fired on you he has to
recharge, so that’s the time to aim and shoot. You might have to do a corner
swap or two before he is gone (savegame).
An explosion occurs and pick up 4
Skulls and watch the flyby.
Start pushing the giant skull to the
S wall and climb on top and crab the crack in the wall.
Lara: This looks
very challenging. I need to spin around several times to gain momentum, then
let go just after my legs go into the air, say 45 degrees?
Shimmy to the right and pull up in
an alcove. Get on top of the pillar and from the edge jump forward and grab
the pole. Swing from pole to pole to the roof of other side. Don’t pay any attention what Lara is
saying as that is for the way back.
Then climb up one roof higher. Go right (N) and pick up a
Note he has.
Only when the
skulls gaze into each others eyes will the veil be lifted. Only when the
colours of nature are combined shall the pigment of the earth be revealed.
On the wall left (W) are alcoves and
pedestals with skull on them. Climb up one roof more and jump into the most
left and the one a bit further and turn them. The gate between them opens,
so jump there and pick up a Blue
Chemical. Safety drop down and climb up the next part of the roof.
Do the same to the other two skulls
and get the Yellow Chemical from
behind the gate. Combine the Yellow with the Blue one and get a
Green Chemical.
Safety drop down and a Giant Skull
appeared. Use this Giant Skull to get into the next alcoves and then into
the gate for the Red Chemical.
Combine the Red with the Green and get the Brown
Chemical. Safety drop down again and climb up on the S roof. Walk to the
other side and climb up onto a roof. Go to the right and jump to the white
pedestal and put the Brown Chemical on it.
Climb back on the roof and drop down
one floor, walk to the other side (W) and drop down near the Giant Skull and
get back to the poles (S wall).
Lara: I need to
take about three steps back.
(Mine worked with two steps). Get to
the last pole and drop to the ground losing some health. Go left (N) and
near where that Giant Skull stood go left towards the deadly abyss. Take a
running jump to the almost invisible grate that is hanging there and from
there, jump to the other side.
Take a right and find a small
staircase going down. Go down and take a left at the intersection. Go to the
right and open the two sarcophagi for
Arrows. There are two more at the other end (N) and the also contain
Arrows. In between those
sarcophagi is an empty stick. You can put one of the 4 skulls on a stick but
then rush to the nearest objects at the S or N wall as a wraith will start
chasing Lara, so the wraith will kill itself there. You see darkish stone
appear in the lava, you can stand on those.
Be sure to open up all the
sarcophagi first before placing the last skull.
Open the other 4 sarcophagi for more
Arrows and 2 small and
2 Large Medipacks.
Get your crossbow out and start
shooting the Giant Skeleton. After he is dead you get the
Evil Eye.
The
doors in the lava flow are open now (N), sprint through the lava flow and
the game ends.
