THE MURDERER'S HIDING PLACE
Level by: Steve
Walkthrough: Anurag
The level starts with a cut-scene, which shows that an assassin has killed Lady
Columbia in her room & has escaped. After the cut-scene, go into the next
room & step on the steel tile on your left, this extinguishes the fire on
the key in the next room. Now enter the next room; as you enter a door will
close. Pick up the REVOLVER on the ground & also pick up KEY 1. Now grab
the climbable wall just ahead of the key, to find SECRET #1, a SHOTGUN,
WIDEWSHOT SHELLS & some FLARES. Drop down, go to the keyhole near the bed
& use KEY 1 there. Go through the open door, shoot the vase there & pull out a
movable block. Go inside & get KEY 2. Now return into the room from where
you started the game & use KEY 2 there.
Go through the door
into a room with some blocks; climb up in the crawlspace in the Northwest. Drop
down at the other side & climb the ladder on your left, from here drop onto
another ledge with SPIKE TRAPS. The first 2 SPIKE traps are on the Grey
textured tiles & attack upwards. At the turn there are 3 more SPIKE traps:
2 from the ceiling & another from the ground. Continue through 3 more
SPIKES to reach a key; as you will approach it you can see 2 SPIKES covering it
up & this triggers a cut-scene that shows an office-like room, pick up KEY
3. Go to the bedroom via the ladder & the crawlspace.
Go in the Northwest
corner & push the switch there, this opens the nearby door. Continue
through it, the first room at left is quite empty except for some FLAME TRAPS.
Now the first door on your right is SECRET #2, pick up the REVOLVER AMMO &
shoot the vase to get some FLARES. The door opposite to this one is a trap. The
second blue door on the left leads to an empty room with 2 vases, while the one
opposite to it is another trap. The third blue door at the left is a joke; it
opens into a wall. Use KEY 3 in the keyhole opposite to this door, which opens
the grated door besides it. Go down the stairs & use the SWITCH there, go
up the stairs & then right to find another grated door open. Use the SWITCH
here to lower a block near to the previous switch.
Go all the way down to
the lowered block. Enter & kill the BAD GUY there. Now look at the ceiling;
the black shadowy part has a Boulder in it, so avoid going under it. And the
area in the middle of the ground which is dark has a SPIKE TRAP. Jump over it
to the right & use the SWITCH over there & back flip quickly; otherwise
a boulder will fall down on you. Jump to the opposite side & then through
the crawlspace. Crawl to the opposite side into an open area. This area has
some FLAME TRAPS, so watch out for them. Shoot the barricades & make your
way to the ladder on the opposite side. Climb the ladder & then Backflip on
the boxes. From here monkeyswing to the opposite side. Release & then
repress ACTION to grab the shimmy crack below. Shimmy to the right & then
into the opening. Pick up KEY 4 from here & SAFETY-DROP to the ground.
Use the key in the
keyhole on the opposite wall, this opens a grated gate on your left, go through
it & activate 3 SWITCHES there & watch three doors open in different
cut-scenes. Go through the opening near the keyhole & jump to grab the
opening above from the last step, avoid the fire here. Crawl in & drop down
into a dark passage. Shoot the barricades & climb the steps & enter the
opening at your left. This triggers a cut-scene that shows that the area is
getting infested with SPIDERS. Kill all the SPIDERS & also a BAD GUY that
joins the party. The first opening at left leads to an empty cage. The 2nd
opening leads to 2 cages the right one is empty, while the left one has a
ladder, just on the other side of the door.
Climb the ladder & find a ledge with KEY5 at the top. Approach KEY5
& kill the GIANT SPIDER that kills you & pick up KEY5. Climb down the
ladder & into the main hall, use KEY5 in the keyhole there, this opens a
door on the opposite side. Go through it, jump in the pool & pick up
LARGE-MEDPACK & REVOLVER AMMO from there, now climb to the opposite side. Pick
up SHOTGUN SHELLS (NORMAL) from top of the block. Now go North, pick up a
SMALL-MEDPACK at the end & REVOLVER AMMO from the right side. Climb on the middle
box & pick up the SHOTGUN. Now jump up to grab the shimmy crack above.
Shimmy to the left & at the end climb up. Use the SWITCH here 2 times; this
makes an underwater gate open. Dive down in the pool & then through the now
open gate. The current is fast so it that it will carry you almost all the way,
then swim upwards.
Climb out & go
west, this triggers a cut-scene which gives a panoramic view of the area, you
can control Lara during this scene. Kill the MURDERER along with 2 GIANT
SPIDERS which arrive as soon as you approach the MURDERER. Going near to the
car at the opposite side also attracts another GIANT SPIDER, also taking the
middle path also invites a GIANT SPIDER so please don't explore them. Now go
along the opening near the MURDERER'S previous position. Use the SWITCH there,
this opens a gate in the open area. Go through the door & climb on the
BIKE. Ride the BIKE to end the level.
