SECRET
UNDERWATER BASE
By Tomo
Review:
This is a witty level, the author used interesting solutions. It has an
atmosphere like the Skyscrapers in TR5. Lara's moves from TR5 were also
involved in the level: walking and rolling on the pole. The solution of the
Coke machine is as interesting as is the chloroform cloth taking out of the
washing machine. The use of the chloroform is also involved. There are 3 secret
Golden Roses: one under a box, one behind the door following the scarabs and
the last one next to the fence, in the end of the level. The added sounds are
good, they fit well to the level. There are only a few enemies: some soldiers
and Sophia Lee emerges again but Lara doesn't have to fight with her this time.
Walkthrough:
As the cut scene ends,
head to the first door which opens as Lara approaches. Explore the shelves.
Later you will find smaller wardrobes which also can be explored, but don't
stand too close them as they work only from a step away. Find the first
COMPUTER DISC and use it in the next room. Go to the right to the elevator and
use it.
Head to the left but
don't hold your pistols in Lara's hands. Steal the 1 EURO coin from the asleep
guard. Use the elevator again (press the button twice) and enter the door in
front of you. Notice the musketry training of Sophia Leigh to the right who
escapes as Lara emerges. Collect the DESERT EAGLE from the second lavatory. In
the women’s lavatory read the lipstick inscription written on the mirror by
Sophia. Head to the right at the washing machine. Kill the guards, light the
torch or use your binoculars because invisible laser rays obstacles Lara. You
can mind them by crawling on the floor, beneath them. Collect the CHLOROFORM
and the SOPHIA LETTER. Stop at the Coke machine and have a Coke. Find the
WASHING MACHINE KEY from under the machine and using it get the cloth for the
chloroform. Of course washed up. But first glance into the left back corner of
the musketry training with your binoculars. Shoot the red wheel there. As you
don't have the Laser Sight yet it's a bit difficult to target exactly. A door
opens not far from here which hides the secret #2 but you will get there later.
Return to the place
where you saw Sophia previously. Combine the Chloroform with the Cloth, stealth
behind the soldier and use. Collect the SUB WORKER ID CARD which he drops. If
you lure him out and kill him you can't get the Card. Return and use the cards.
After a run up jump on the pole and press CTRL. Slide down and grab the edge,
let Lara drop down a floor and climb into the crawlspace. Climb down on the
other side. Save your game now as you have to time well the next slide and jump
because the fire blower can burn Lara easily. Walk along on the pole (you can
correct Lara's moves with the arrow button) and after a single jump grab the
edge of the other side. After a running jump grab the ladder on the ceiling,
crawl ahead and climb down on the other side. Climb to the right on the wall
and another crawlspace comes. Push the button which opens the door but kick in
the wall (CTRL) on the other side. In the next room collect the LASER SIGHT
from the small wardrobe and exit the open door. In the next room pull out the
block in front of you and push it away to the left. Pull out the next one too.
In the next room find the GOLDEN ROSE behind one of the moveable blocks.
Get up onto the floor, shoot the small tap (if you have enough patience
use your pistols) and climb up into the crawlspace. Drop down on the other side
into the water, pull the lever in the middle on the ceiling and turn around the
wheel once at the end of the passage. On your way back jump up and grab the
ladder on a small platform. Climb back and up into the another crawlspace. After
getting through the pole make a single jump. Hurry in as the soldier will close
the grate. Climbing in behind the machine gun shoot it with the Laser Sight and
get the LASER ACCESS CD. Use it in the room. The laser door opens behind Lara.
In the first store to the left find another ID CARD, in the second one to the
right the AK and in the second one to the left the CD PIECE 1. When you pick up
the ID Card fill Lara up with energy and run back in the room as a machine gun
begins to shoot at Lara. The other laser door opens.
Slide down, head to
the left but duck in crawl immediately so the machine gun observes Lara in this
position. Now you can shoot it from behind the boxes safely but be sure that
the weapon points to the corner. Target the small, grey plate on its back. After
the crawlspace comes my most hated place of the level. After a run up jump to
the left hand switch and while you are being eaten by the scarabs push it. Run
to the right hand switch and into the now open passage. Maybe you will use
several medipacks. Here collect the second GOLDEN ROSE from behind the open
door.
Return to the
beginning of the level. Use the ID Card, push the button and you are on the
final area. Climb the ladder up to the storey and shoot all the 4 red wheels. A
door opens below. Climbing down shoot another red wheel. Return and find a
button in a corner beneath the broken off grate. Pushing it another door opens.
Find the CD PIECE 2 outside and another GOLDEN ROSE.
Your final objective
is to lift down to the floor with the sleeping soldier ? maximalists are able
to clean up his room now. Stand in the corner where the machine gun appears on
the ceiling. Take out your weapons so the machine gun can't shoot at Lara but
she can shoot it and the waking up soldier too. Use your combined Computer Disc
in front of the laser barrier and the level finishes.
