Walkthrough By: Anurag

Part 1: The Gateway to the Past

Kills: 8 Items: 4, including Keys Secrets: None

The level starts with Lara standing in a wide-open area & with some real cool music. Continue straight forward until you reach a closed gate, which opens as you approach it. Kill the BAD GUY at the right. Go left & all the way upstairs, flip the LEVER there, a cut-scene shows that a trapdoor opens in the previous room, this is a timed door, so run down the stairs & to the opposite side of the boxes & reach for the trapdoor in the corner. (Note: If the door closes then flip the LEVER twice to reopen it.)

Pick up the KEYS from the basement & then crawl in the crawlspace at your left, crawl onto the blue colored tile & the trapdoor again gets opened. Get out of it & out of the gate.

Now at the first 4-way intersection turn right to the park area, kill the DOG that attacks you. Inside the park, go into the fenced area & pick up the PAPER there. Go back to the 4-way intersection & continue straight to an area with a fountain. The area to the right is a dead end so continue left & kill the DOG that pounces at you.

Find your way to a fence & then go at the backside of it; drop down into a pit from the crawlspace there.

Kick open a DOOR to enter a small room. Use the KEY in the keyhole there; this opens a door at your left. Enter the passage & kill another BAD GUY. Now go to the books in the East direction & pick up a SMALL-MEDPACK from there. Shoot the piano & pick up a GOLD
KEY. Then come outside the pit & all the way to the 4-way intersection. Now take a left & kill a DOG that attacks. Descend some stairs & go inside the structure & use the GOLD KEY there.

This opens a door at your right & gives you access to some cool music. Now go straight to a T-intersection, take a left or right & then continue straight to another T-intersection, again take a left or right & go straight up the stairs taking care of a BAD GUY on the way & another at the top, one of them drops a LARGE-MEDPACK when he is down. Go all the way to the top & watch the cut-scene, which shows a large room below with pictures of dinosaurs, huge machinery & a passage. Flip the LEVER there, this opens a door somewhere, descend the stairs to reach another T-intersection.

Go to right & another right & then bypassing an opening on right take left. Climb up the stairs & take care of the BAD GUY waiting for you. Flip the LEVER there, a cut-scene shows a trapdoor opening somewhere. Descend the stairs, take a right & then left to reach a 5-LEVER room. If you had taken a right at the T-intersection, then also you would end up here only. Now closely examine the CLUE (PAPER) that you found in the Park. It reads, "Time center use 2 & 5 to gain access". So flip the 2nd & 5th LEVER, a cut-scene shows you an area with electric waves as you flip one lever & flipping another one shows you that a trapdoor has opened somewhere.

Kick open the door at the right. Follow the path to the room with electric waves, they will settle down if you have used the 2 & 5 LEVER combo. Go to the opposite side & drop down into an opening below. Go to the right side of the first box, turn 45 degrees left & take a jump to the other side. Now pull the box that is just ahead of you 2 times backwards. Now shimmy up to reach the place where you were before. Pull the box that is in the south direction once. Take another 45 degrees turn & jump to the jutting ledge at the left. Now turn facing the box, i.e. west & pull it once. Shimmy & reach the place where the box was, from here take a running jump to the ledge at opposite side & from there to the opening at east.

Climb up the ladder into the room with computers & pictures of dinosaurs. Kill the BAD GUY there. Now flip the LEVER in the northeast direction, this activates the time machine. Go into the passage to get teleported into the second level.

Part 2: The Voice That Should Not Be

Kills: 16 Items: 3 Secrets: None

In the next level Lara is standing inside the time machine & the starting message is “1180 B.C. near the city of Troy.” Drop down & kill 2 SCORPIONS. Avoid the Flaming Tree, as it will burn you. Now there are 3 ways to go. Don't go straight, we will go there later, instead go left for now.

Continue straight until you see a house-like
structure. Quickly run towards it, evading 2 SPIKED BOULDERS on the way. Drop down into the water ahead & pick up the CROSSBOW.

Now go to the other side when you reach the intersection. Continue forward until you reach a crawlspace. It is a dark one, so
better use a flare. Drop down & kill the GREEK WARRIOR there. Go near the South wall & avoid the SPIKED BOULDER that comes down, making the ground shake. Your job here is done; get out of the crawlspace back to the intersection.

You will notice that the path from the intersection to the crawlspace has changed. Now go for the third side. Go inside & turn
left; you can observe that the wall here has been broken. Kill the SCORPION there & continue to an open area with a bridge. Continue straight along the South wall, until you see steps going down at your
right. Jump down these wooden steps, & all the way down to the water.

First go to the West side & jump into the pit there. Get up in a room with slopes & fires, it is recommended that you get on the East side. Jump to the slope at your right, from there to another slope then to a third slope, from here jump while pressing ACTION to get on a block. From here jump to a ledge & then to the ladder. Climb the
ladder right until you are just over a slope. Drop on the slope & then perform a roll jump by pressing ACTION, to get hold of another ledge. From here jump to another ledge at your right & then to another slope at your right. Then to another slope from here jump by pressing ACTION, so that you can grab the edge of a crawlspace. Crawl
through & flip the LEVER there. A cut-scene shows you that a door has opened somewhere. Come out through the pit in the bridge area.

Go to another pit in the water in North direction. Quickly come out of the pit & kill the CROCODILE that follows you, then re-enter the pit. Come out of the water, climb a small block. From here jump to another block & grab the chain from here. Backflip on a slope from the chain. Jump on the middle slope (see screenshot: http://tombraid.isoz.at/jump.jpg)on the opposite side & from there to another slope, then to a ledge. From here jump to another ledge in Northwest from there to an opening in the east. Crawl out the other side & kill the GREEK WARRIOR there & flip the LEVER, this opens a door somewhere.

Come out in the area with the bridge & kill a CROCODILE. Climb the bridge as shown in this screenshot http://tombraid.isoz.at/bridge.jpg. Go past the now open doors, until you reach a T-intersection. First go left, past a fire & a skeleton & then into the crawlspace. Come out into an open area, with a SETHA & a LEVER, quickly flip the LEVER while avoiding SETHA'S attacks (you can't kill him). A cut-scene shows a gate opening.

Return to the T-intersection & go straight. Descend the stairs into a room with burning boxes. First go into the room in North & pick up CROSSBOW EXPLOSIVE AMMO from the Southeast corner. Then go into the other room & past the now open gates. Climb up the Stairs & enter the temple, a cut-scene gives a panoramic view of the interior of the temple along with a lever, trapdoor & a medpack. Pick up the LARGE-MEDPACK below the statue of Athena.

Climb up the stairs in the Southwest corner & reach the LEVER & flip it, this opens a trapdoor behind the statue. This is timed, so drop down & quickly drop through the trapdoor. Descend the stairs, & take a standing jump to reach just before the first SPIKED BARRELL, & then as soon as it oscillates towards right run through, avoid other 2 SPIKED BARRELS by the same method.

Grab the crawlspace in the southeast & continue to a room with 5 black tiles. Jump on the middle black tile & after that on the corner ones in a clockwise/anticlockwise manner to open the door; you may also attract 5 SKELETONS in doing so, take care of them with Crossbow explosive ammo. Slide down the open door, & stand on the black tile; this opens a timed trapdoor at the far end of the passage. Avoid a SPIKED BARREL, a SPIKED BOULDER & another SPIKED BARREL to reach the ladder, climb through the open trapdoor.

You'll land up in a tunnel, at the T-intersection go right, as the left side doesn't contain anything. Follow the passage to reach a small room with an opening in the ground. Drop into another tunnel, follow the tunnel & evade the SPIKE TRAP. Again follow the path until you land up in another room with an opening, but this opening is closed as of now. Stand on the reddish-brown tiles at the center. This triggers a cut-scene; the walls reveal pictures of Cassandra as she begins to speak.

Cassandra: "I am the voice that should not be,
I am the truth Gods could not keep,
When all is lost & Troy is burnt
Strangers leave no stone unturned;
I am the voice that should not be
I am tyranny’s destiny;
Face the dark & feel the fear
You will not make it out of here."

The opening is now open, drop through it into another tunnel. Again follow the passage avoiding a SPIKE TRAP on the way, until you reach another room with an opening. Safety drop through this opening onto a star symbol. Be careful not to fall off as the floor contains lava. Now walk on all the 4 catwalks first & kill 4 MUMMIES; after that do what you did in the room with 5 black tiles. Jump on the middle Star tile & after that on the other ones in a clockwise/anticlockwise manner to drain the lava below. Now the ground is safe & also a block has risen near the exit. Jump to the newly risen block in the Northeast direction; & from there into a passage that resembles the time portal. Run through this passage to enter in your time & also to end this double level adventure.
