CHANUKKA
LEVEL BY MASHA
WALKTHROUGH BY MOONPOOKA
THIS LEVEL IS FROM THE ADVENTS CALENDER 2003
THERE ARE FOUR SECRET GOLD ROSES TO FIND
Please note! Some
players experienced a bug in the game. When Lara collects a star at the
three-moving-block room the game freezes. This happens when the game has been
re-loaded from a save at some earlier point. The first time I played, the
freeze happened, but when I re-played for the walkthrough I saved before I
entered the three block room. I didn’t save again until after I had collected
the star, and all was well and no freezing. So I think this is a save issue
after entering the three block room. If you do save only before this room and
your game still freezes at the pick up, you will have to play the level through
without saving at all until after that star pickup point.
Also, to use the lamp
oil on the scales, you have to select it from the inventory; Lara will not
place it by using action.
Start by shooting the
wooden box on the floor in the first room. A scroll will appear on a plinth,
take it and the door will open. Head through and halfway along the corridor
find a small grate to shoot out on your right. Crawl through and collect SECRET
ONE.
Crawl out and head
through to the next room, look immediately left and see the FIRST GOLD STAR.
Take it and shoot the two vases to open one of the two doors ahead. Approach
the final door and it will open. Go through to the main room.
Here is a large area
with a central structure. The structure is a huge gold candle stick with eight
candle holders on the top. In its center are some scales where you have to
place the lamp oil and eventually light the torch. When dealing with the final
parts of this level, the urns you find should be placed from right to left. All
will become clear later on. You can also shoot various vases and boxes to find
med packs; you won’t need them, so it’s up to you if you want to bother with
them.
First, you need to
find eight gold stars; you should already have one by now, so let’s go find the
other seven.
Starting from the
entrance to the big main room, go to your left, shoot the box to collect the
SECOND GOLD STAR. Now head over to the red door on the right of the West wall.
The door will open as you approach, so go through and up the stairs. When you
reach the first landing a new door will open; go through and push the block in
front of you forward twice. Now go move the other block back once; a block
lowers in the North wall, so go through and take the THIRD GOLD STAR.
When you take the
star, a block lowers in the first room at the South wall, so go through and
take the FOURTH GOLD STAR.
Now two new blocks
have risen in the first room, so go out and over to the North wall, and in the
right hand corner find a ladder to climb. Use it to flip back onto the high
block behind you. Now jump up and use the ceiling ladder to get to the next
block, quickly jump into the star room, as the door is timed. Okay, so take the
FIFTH GOLD STAR; but before you leave, shoot out the small grate behind the
plinth, then crawl through for SECRET TWO.
Now head back out and
go back to the main hall and run straight over the room and into the door at
the East wall. Head up the stairs and a new door will open. Go through and use
the wall lever to open a gold door, enter here and collect the SIXTH GOLD STAR.
Now head out and enter the next gold door on that same ledge.
Go to the book cases
at the East wall and pull the middle one out, move it aside to find the SEVENTH
GOLD STAR. Now shoot the vases in the two alcoves and take SECRET THREE from
the newly opened alcove in the Southeast corner of the room. Shoot the box in
the corner to collect a small med pack and leave this room.
Head out and up the
stairs until a new door opens for you. Enter here and go right, then shoot the
vase to collect SECRET FOUR.
That’s all the secrets
collected now, so move on and head up the stairs again. When a new door opens
head on through and go left, approach the red door and it will open for you.
Shoot the two vases in the next room to lower the block. In the next room
collect the LAMP OIL and see two blocks rise at the top of the candle stick for
you to reach the scales later on.
Go back out and head
all the way back down to the main room. Head straight over to the left side
door at the West wall and make your way up three flights of stairs. A new door
will open, so go through and head left.
Find a new door; but if you want to save then do so now, because this is where
some players had the game freeze problem referred to above. So save before you
enter this room and do not save again until after the eighth star has been
collected.
In this next room, go
around the tall block and into the next room/ There are three blocks to move
into the wall alcoves. Look at the symbols on the walls; there are three
different ones, look on the blocks for the symbol missing in the walls and
place the blocks in their right places. There should be one of each symbol on
three walls. Now a high block has lowered in the next room, so go take the
EIGHTH GOLD STAR and leave.
Head up the stairs
three flights and go through the door that opens for you. Use two of your gold
stars on the golden gates to open them, pull the urns from the alcoves and
place them one by one by the central pillar. There is a gold wall tile where
you must place them and a wall lever next to it; ignore the lever on the west
wall for now.
You need to take those urns up to the top of the ladder, so use the wall lever
at the side of the urn and raise the urn up. Now climb the ladder and move the
urn onto the block above the ladder. Go down and use the wall lever at the West
wall to raise the block at the top of the ladder. This will take the urn to the
top level.
Okay, so now head up
the stairs and onto the top balcony. Find the urn and push it off the raising
blocks. Now go back down and do this again for the second urn.
With both urns safely
up top, the next step is to free the other urns from their alcoves behind the
gold doors. Use the last six of your gold stars to release them.
You now have to place
all eight urns at the end of the runways by the candle holders. Two runways are
restricted by blocks, but we lower them later.
Now go to the right
hand side of the candle stick and place an urn at the very end of the first
runway. The urns must be placed at the very end of the runways, as blocks will
rise beneath them to take them up to the gold tiles at the top of the holders.
Placing the first urn
opens a hidden wall and reveals a lever in the urns gold alcove. Use the lever
there and the urn will rise up on a block at the end of its runway. Now go push
the urn onto the gold tile at the very top of the candle holder. Doing this has
now opened up a hidden wall at the back of the next gold alcove and revealed
another wall lever. Go place the next urn and use the lever to raise it. Push
it onto its gold tile and again a hidden wall opens with another lever to use
in a gold alcove.
Continue doing this until all the urns are in place. In the process,
those obstructing blocks will also be lowered. In simply placing and raising
those urns, then placing them on the gold tiles, eventually all eight urns will
be in place and on the final urn you will see a view of the upper balcony at
the other side of the main room.
Now go down from the
urns and go to the central candle holder. Climb the blocks and stand in front
of the scales. You will see a high block lower over the other side of the main
room to reveal a wall lever. Now stand close to the scales and select the LAMP
OIL from the inventory. Fill the scales with the oil and then make your way
back down to the main room.
Go over to the other
side of the room and head up the stairs to the very top balcony and find the
new wall lever to use. It will open two new red doors on the balcony, and
inside them you will find two mirrors. Move them onto the gold tiles and
another block will lower in the Southeast corner of the balcony to reveal
another wall lever.
Go use the newly
revealed lever, which sends light to the mirrors which lights the lamp oil in
the scales below.
Now all you need is
the torch, so head down the stairs to the balcony below and go right. Enter the
new door and collect the torch. If the door closes behind you, use the wall
lever to get out. Take the torch and go all the way back to the high balcony at
the other side of the main room.
Light the torch on the
flame at the scales and then go light all of the gold urns.
You will now see a
flyby and hear some wonderful music play as the candelabra burns for Christmas
time and the final door opens below.
Head down to the main
room area and enter the newly opened double gold doors.
Take the pot from the
plinth to end the level.
