TR ADVENT CALENDAR 2025 - WHEN YOU WISH UPON A STAR

Level by shabaobab

Walkthrough by José

Colors: pickups – necessary items

[Note:] I don't like these kinds of levels (I prefer the classic ones), so this time, and without setting a precedent, I looked for help in a video walkthrough and found this one by Saki Croft, which helped me complete the level without too much backtracking. [End note]

After the flybly turn around and go S to the Disco, press "Ctrl" if you want to see Lara dancing and go W to the vending machine at the bottom of the stairs, press "Ctrl" to select a song and go S to the bar; interact with the waiters and choose one of the elements of the menu to get a Cocktail. Now go up the NW stairs but not to the very top, when you reach the break, turn around and take a running jump N to grab the upper ledge (from the left side); pull up and claim the first Shooting Star Fragment.

Exit the disco and climb the nearby pedestal with the female statue, turn around, jump up to grab the edge of the terrace above, pull up and claim the second Shooting Star Fragment. Drop down to the courtyard and go NE to climb the nearby stand with the red Lara Croft poster, from this roof take a standing jump SE to the roof of the nearby stand, another running jump to grab the horizontal pole with the hanging flowerpot, climb up (new move), turn left and jump to grab the edge of the roof; pull up and jump to the terrace with the fountain to claim the third Shooting Star Fragment.

From here approach to the N side of this terrace, look for a part with missing fence and take a running jump to the N-NW balcony, advance N, take another running jump over the balustrade to the next balcony and from the part with the missing fence to your left take a running jump SW to grab the ledge of the central structure and get the fourth Shooting Star Fragment. Jump back to the previous balcony (no grab), go around clockwise, take a running jump to grab the E pillar, pull up, turn left, jump to the very top of the roof and drop from the N side to get the fifth Shooting Star Fragment.

Make your way to drop down to ground floor and go SW to the central big pool; in the NW corner there's a small building you can climb, turn left, take a standing jump to grab the pole with the hanging pot and from the very left side, climb up and jump with a left curve to grab the high W balcony; from here jump to grab the W pole and swing to the next balcony, go through the corridor to your left and left again to find the sixth Shooting Star Fragment. Go back W and climb the red ledge to your left, from the corner take a standing jump to grab the E tight rope, climb it, walk to the S, jump to the balcony, take a curved running jump to your left and grab the horizontal pole with the hanging flowerpot, climb it, turn left, jump to the top of the roof and drop from the E side to get the seventh Shooting Star Fragment. From here you can take a running jump SE (no grab) to land on the ledge with the eighth Shooting Star Fragment.

Make your way to drop down to ground floor and go NE to the central big pool; in the NW corner there's a small building you climbed before, climb it again, turn left, take a standing jump to grab the pole with the hanging pot and from the very left side, climb up and jump with a left curve to grab the high W balcony as you did before; this time, from the edge you pulled up take a curved running jump to grab the S pole with the hanging flowerpot, climb it and take a standing jump to grab the edge of the ledge above, pull up and claim the ninth Shooting Star Fragment. Take a standing jump NW to land on the balcony you came from.

As you did before, from here jump to grab the W pole and swing to the next balcony, go through the corridor to your left, again climb the red ledge, from the corner take a standing jump to grab the E tight rope, climb, walk to the S, jump to the balcony, take a curved running jump to your left and grab the horizontal pole with the hanging flowerpot, climb it, turn left, jump to the top of the roof, again drop down from the E side onto the triangular ledge where you got the seventh start but this time take a long running jump NE to a small ledge below with the tenth Shooting Star Fragment.

Make your way to drop to ground floor and go W to a garden area, go W and from the ledge in the left side take a standing jump to grab the top of the tall pillar in front of the next star, pull up and take a running jump W to claim the eleventh Shooting Star Fragment. Drop down and go to the S side of this area, up the ramps and under the arch to find the twelfth Shooting Star Fragment. Go outside and right, but not to the very bottom, take a standing jump to grab the edge of the sloped roof of the E building, shimmy left and pull up to claim the thirteenth Shooting Star Fragment.

Now drop down and go to the N side of the garden (the market area), climb the roof of the first stand, jump to the top of the S wall, turn left and take a running jump to the niche with the fourteenth Shooting Star Fragment. Drop down and go to the N side of this area, to the beach: you can see a couple of stars at the top of the pillars in the W side; climb the nearby wall and look for a block with a circular red and white object at its top: it's really a bounce pad, so take standing jumps onto it to jump and reach the top of the higher blocks with the fifteenth and sixteenth Shooting Star Fragments (it could take several tries).

Now go to the E side of the beach to find another of those bounce pads, use it to jump to the top of the N high block, from here take a running jump to grab the W block and a final standing jump onto the W bounce pad to jump to the high platform with the statue and the seventeenth Shooting Star Fragment. Continue to the very E end of the beach, climb the wall to your right and go S jumping to the top of the stands, climb the next wall, the E block and take a running jump S to get the eighteenth Shooting Star Fragment.

Go back to the beach and from the wall next to the last stands you can take a running jump to the N block with the nineteenth Shooting Star Fragment. Now go to the very NE side of the beach and climb the building there from the E side, ignore the bounce pad for now and go around counterclockwise until you can take a tricky curved running jump to a niche in the W side of this building to claim the twentieth Shooting Star Fragment.

Go back to the place where you saw the last bounce pad and take a standing jump with a right curve in midair; if you are lucky you'll land at the top of the high E pillar to get the twenty-first Shooting Star Fragment. If you land on a bounce pad, reload and try again. From this position check Lara's health and use the bounce pad to jump SE and land onto the ledge attached to the arch; on the ledge under the arch you can pick up the Piramasu. From the E ledge you can take a running jump to the S one to claim the twenty-second Shooting Star Fragment. Jump back to the previous ledge and take a tricky running jump NW to the top of the pillar with the three bounce pads and jump to the E bell tower to get the twenty-third Shooting Star Fragment.

Make your way to go down to ground floor, climb again the S wall next to the stands and from the top of a battlement covered with greenery take a running jump to grab the top of a high pillar, now take a standing jump NW onto the bounce pad and jump to the high ledge in the W structure; take a running jump to the W ledge and get the twenty-fourth Shooting Star Fragment. Make your way to safely drop to ground floor, climb again the S wall, cross the courtyard with the stands (E side), continue S around the white building and look for the last Shooting Star Fragment between the plants.

Now make your way to go back to the area where you started the level, locate Winston at the entrance of the disco and press the action key in front of him to start the final cutscene.
