Start by falling into a pool of water. Get out, climb on the block and shoot an empty vase to open the door at the top of the ladder. Climb the ladder and you also hear a door open. Do not go any further but get out of the doorway and go north-east to enter the open door. Pick up a small medipack. Drop into the pit to get secret #1 and pick up a Secret (Pharos Pillar). Get out and pick up a blue crystal. Push the big button at the back and exit this opening. Go back and climb the ladder again. This time side jump through the slicer, pick up a small water skin and exit this opening. Go to the north-east shallow corner of the pool and fill the water skin. Climb the block and enter the open door to the north. Do not shoot the ahmet yet. Run into the room and go to a ledge on the west side. Pick up flares and kill the ahmet from there. Just shoot when the ahmet is near the door or else he may die in front of the balance scale and you cannot use it. Jump to the center section and pick up revolver ammo. You may notice an underwater door and a receptacle. Pour the water in the balance scale and get a cut scene of the room with the water gone. Get down to the floor and use the blue crystal and get a cut scene of the door opening. Go to the open door to use the floor lever and get a cut scene of another door opening. Exit this room and refill the water skin just in case. Then enter the new opening to the north and pick up revolver ammo. Go up the stairs and the opens for you. When you are inside, the door closes. You face a deep pit and a ledge to the south with a closed door.

Monkey swing to the south side. Go to south-west corner and shoot a vase for the revolver. Go to the west side and hang over the ledge.

Climb the ladder, go through the door and you are back on the south ledge. Go to the west wall and look north at some bones in an alcove. Combine revolver and laser sight and shoot the bones. Monkey swing back to the north side and jump to the tunnel to the east. Press the button and get a cut scene of the pit being flooded. Dive in and swim to the bottom.

Push the moveable block into the north-east corner. Be careful, as the plain pink tiles are deadly firetraps. A tile drops at the south wall. Jump into the hole and pick up a magical stone.

The gate there is now open. Inside the gate, slide down into a room with water. You may see a crocodile's nose stick out through a closed door. Use the water skin and pour water onto both balance scales. Kill the crocodile and swim into the open door. After a short tunnel, pull up into a room and kill a raptor.
