THE TEMPLE OF ASH

LEVEL BY ASHLEY EARL

WALKTHROUGH BY ANYA MARIE MCDONALD

The level starts with Lara sliding down a slope, she stops on a raised block in front of huge steps. Head to the wall with the hyroglyphs on it and climb up. When you get near the top shimmy to the left or right to the ledge there. After you get to the ledge head down the ramp, take note of the set of closed big double doors, then head to the opening in the southwest corner and up the steps. Follow this passage til you are outside facing a door that needs the eye of horus to open it. Head towards the door then veer right to the raised block with the floor lever on it.

Use the lever, then head back inside to the big double doors you saw closed, they are open now. Go through the door, turn, face the open door, then climb down the ladder to the room below, take note of the closed gate to your right. Now go through the opening and up the slope while avoiding the three spiked balls rolling towards you and taking care of a ninja at the top of the ramp, turn left and watch a flyby of where you are to go next (it is pretty simple to get there, so I will leave it up to you the player to figure this part out).

When you reach the gate you saw in the flyby, turn left and head along the ledge to the odd-looking tile. Step on it, the gate opens, but before you go through the gate head over to the ledge on your right and use the floor lever there, then head to the open gate and go through the crawlspace the gate was blocking. When you are able to stand take the eye piece off the pedestal, then head back to the closed gate at the bottom of the ramp the three spiked balls came rolling down towards Lara. When you get there the gate is open now, so go through to the next room. In this room rests the second eye piece on a pedestal, so go get it, taking note of the closed gate to your right and avoiding the two mummies in the room. When you have the second eye piece head outside to where you saw the door that needs the eye of horus to open. Go there, open the door, enter the room beyond the door, climb the pole beyond the statue of horus lying on a coffin to the room above and avoiding the mummy. When you reach the room above notice the pedestal in the far right hand corner with the hand of orion on it. The trick here is to get to the pedestal without getting burned, so look for tiles that do not have the circle on them, that is the way to and from the pedestal, this will be made clear when you acquire the hand of orion, because the tiles with the circles in them will burst into flames.

Now head back inside to the room you got the second eye piece from and use the hand of orion to open the gate there. After placing the hand of orion in its receptacle, go through the open gate into the crawlspace beyond and to the next room. When you have lowered yourself to the block opposite the gate you used to enter this area, jump to the ledge across the deep pit, avoiding the spiked balls that come crahing down. Head over to the left side of the ledge, climb the wall a short way up, then backflip/twist/grab/climb/backflip to the next ledge. Next go through the opening on the left side of this ledge to the next room.

Jump down to the ledge beyond the opening and take a good look around at what needs to be done to get to the opening across from where you are at now. When you get to the opening light a flare, take the next right, follow along this path then take the second left you come to, then take the next left, then at the end of this passage stop at the hole in the floor, fall into the water below, surface and exit the water. You are now facing closed big double doors now walk to them and the level ends.
