Fire - London City

Level by Fred Reinsperger

Walkthrough by DJ Full


FROM NOW ON, REMEMBER
The whole game takes place in or around the 6 houses: N, S, NE, NW, SE, SW. These directions ALWAYS show the general alignment of the houses and they are NOT related to your actual position. So even if it happens e.g. that the N house is on your S or E at a certain moment, that building is still named as "N".

CARTOUCHE PIECE 1
When the game is loading, hold Pause and switch targeting to manual. Fall down on the street and fire bullets rapidly to kill a white ninja on your right and another one on your left. Pick up 2 packs of normal shells the enemies drop and climb the ladder next to the place where the first one was standing, to shimmy left and pull up on a flat part of the roof. Find Cartouche Piece 1 at the W end. (In this place I wondered if one can find any shortcut by shimmying around the whole square. So I put a weight on the keyboard and grabbed the ledge. It took Lara 5 minutes and 30 seconds to check this route, but she has found nothing interesting at all.) Go back on the street.

THE HAND OF ORION
Enter the door on the SW of the SW house and throw a lever. Kill 2 ninjas on your way to the open gate in the middle of the N wall. Go behind the portal and go right on the junction. Reverse roll to grab the ladder and descend into the lower corridor for The Hand Of Orion at its end. Picking up the item launches 4 scorpions, so switch targeting to automatic to kill them. Going back up the ladder, check the crawlspace for 4 pairs of uzi clips. Watch out! Only if you grab the last one, you trigger SECRET 1.

BA CARTOUCHE
Switch to manual. On your way back on the street, kill 2 baddies. One of them drops Cartouche Piece 2. Combine both halves to make Ba Cartouche. SECRET 2 - flares, a large and a small medi - can be reached by climbing the ladder on the nearest wall of the NE house.

THE HAND OF ORION
Now place the Cartouche in the slot in the E wall of the SE house, what raises the grate for you to get inside. Hop in for The Hand Of Orion.

UNDERGROUND
Insert both hands in the receptacles on the S of the house you're in. Go into the revealed corridor to fight 2 ninjas on your left for some wideshots and uzis. Switch to automatic, as 3 more scorpions approach you from behind. Kill the arachnids and check the remaining part of the corridor to find a hole. Face approximately W and slide down BACKWARDS to grab the ladder at the end of the slope. Descend into the underground, pass the corridor and throw a switch between the white thingies on the left to open the door at the end. Manual targeting and 2 new ninjas to kill.

THE END
Arrggh, there were no moments when the N house was on your S or E. Naah. So it appears my revolutionary navigation system I "invented" for you not to get lost in the city was completely useless. Whatever. After the won fight, slide down the slope behind the door and hit the end of the level.
