GHOST TOWN

Level by Alphonse

Walkthrough by Phil Lambeth

Slide down from a mountain peak and locate a cave opening. Follow to a grate you can shoot and crawl to a second grate. At this point in my game the action/warning sound kept repeating, so I deleted 000.ogg from my audio folder. Await the arrival of a dog, shoot it and crawl out to a courtyard with a flammable floor. Go through the SE alley to alert another dog, reverse roll and shoot the grate up in the NE corner. Pull into the opening and crawl to a floor hole. Drop down into a small room with flares and another shootable grate.

But first, push the SE shelves away from a wall switch that opens a door at the end of the alley where you spooked the second dog. Crawl NW to a room with a skylight. Search the E shelves for a small medipack and open the NW cabinet for the SILVER KEY. Exit S, push open the double doors and return to the courtyard. Continue through the SE alley to the opened doorway and enter a tavern. Kick open the SW bathroom door for a large medipack. Exit, hop over the bar and use the Silver Key to open the door to your right. 

Go up the steps onto a ledge overlooking the barroom below. The window on the right is shootable. Jump out NE onto the roof, slide and grab and shimmy left. Just before you reach the corner, pull up and take a rolling back flip to grab a ledge on the adjacent building. Pull up, run forward for a small medipack and take a running jump slightly NW to grab another ledge. Pull up, hop down right onto a crate and drop next to a W passage. 

Follow to a pair of squishy blocks and time your way past them. Take the GOLDEN ROSE from the plinth for SECRET #1 and return to the crate. Jump from it N to grab the opposite ledge, pull up and look to your right to locate a jump switch on the next building. Take a running jump to activate it and open the other door at the end of the NW alley. Enter a pool room with three side doors you can kick open. Starting with the W door, go up the steps to a wall switch that releases a fire wraith and causes a beam of light to issue from the ceiling near the SW corner and bounce off the mirror directly below. Retreat to the shallow pool to douse the wraith. Open the E door and repeat the same action with the same result. The final wall switch beyond the N door also releases a fire wraith, but it opens a door out in the courtyard as well.

Return there and loop right around the flammable floor to find the opened door. Step inside for the TORCH and return to the pool room. The light beams have ignited the candle on the central slab, so use the flame to light your torch and go back to toss it onto the wooden floor. Wait for it to burn and disintegrate, drop to into a flooded area and swim along the N passage and around corners until you can pull out into a small room. Exit to an outdoor courtyard and look for flares near the NW corner. Open the nearby floor trap door, drop down and go down the steps to a wall switch that opens the W double doors back at the courtyard.

Go back there and enter to trigger a flyby through the sanctuary ahead. As you walk forward, the doors close behind you, so go forward to the W wall. The Poseidon statutes there are all pushpieces, but if you get on the ledge where they're positioned you get an annoying fixed camera. Nevertheless, move the NW one two times S, the SW one two times N and the other SW one (the one against the S wall) two times E. Double doors open in the W wall, so go up the wide steps to an upper ledge where the skeleton is roaming about. Ignore for now the wall switch to your left and make your way across the room to the S wall.

Shoot the clock hanging from the wall to open nearby doors, return to the wall switch and pull it down. Get onto the timed raised block near the center of the room and side flip onto a still higher section where the skeleton can't follow. Go past the opened E doors and loop around left for the STICK HEAD (doors open when you pick it up) and around right for a small medipack. Drop down two levels to the sanctuary floor and move the SE Poseidon statue two times W. The nearby S doors open, so enter and go down the steps to an underground burial area with a mirror.

A slow-moving knight is stalking you, as you can see in the mirror, so go to your right and hop into the space between the coffins against the W wall. Wait patiently for the knight to arrive and take a whack at you with his sword. Side flip out of the way as he shatters the coffins instead and causes the nearby sarcophagus to move aside and reveal a floor hole. Hop down and follow the steps down to a second STICK HEAD (surely not to be be confused with a dickhead). Pull out of the floor hole, exit this room N and go back up the stairs to the sanctuary.

The Poseidon statues against the N wall are missing the fixtures atop their staffs, so affix the two Stick Heads to open the double doors between them. Go up the steps to an opening that overlooks an alley you explored earlier. Hop NE to the outer ledge and follow around, jumping the gap until you near the NW corner. Turn left and jump S onto the cobblestone ledge, look right to locate a hard-to-see jump switch in the W building and take a running jump to activate it. A door opens up at the SW corner. To get there, shoot the waiting dog, go back around clockwise to the other end of the alley, pull up SW and make your way back along the ledges.

Take a running jump across the alley to grab the W opening, pull up and step into a featureless room with a wall switch that gives you a cut scene of the area outside. The exit has been replaced with a closed window and a fixed camera. Jump up and shoot the window ornament, return to the wall switch and pull it down again for a similar cut scene. The opened door has returned, so exit and drop down to the alley. Find the opened door in the N wall and go around right to a wall switch that opens the door to a secret.

Go back around the other way and get past two scissor blade traps into an alcove for a GOLDEN ROSE and SECRET #2. Exit to the alley, turn left and pull up again at the SW corner. Hop up SE and go down the steps to the sanctuary. Go across past the opened S doors, continue downstairs to the mirror room and down into a second revealed floor hole against the E wall. Go down the steps to another floor hole, safety drop to the passage below, turn right and run to a pole as a spike wall advances from your left. Climb the pole and back flip onto a ledge. When the spike wall stops moving, climb back down and find a wall switch near the SE corner that opens a door above the ledge.

Climb back up the pole, back flip onto the ledge and pull up N to face a plinth with a GOLDEN ROSE for SECRET #3. Drop down the other side, run N through the sanctuary and up the steps, hop to the ledge surrounding the outdoor alley and follow around as before to the opened door near the SW corner. Pull the wall switch back up, and after the same cut scene as before turn right into the W alcove for a GOLDEN SKULL as Lara's theme music plays and a door opens. Pull the wall switch back up, endure the cut scene a final time and turn right to enter the passage and finish the level.
