Walkthrough by Harry Laudie

Level 1: Wollemi National Park (Australia)

You start on a cliff and face a climbable wall. You can climb the wall and go to the south along the cliff wall but I found nothing to get. Turn to the north and pull up onto the column. Drop on the north side. Get into the climbing position and climb down. When Lara stops climbing, release and grab a crevice. Shimmy to the right and drop onto a flat ledge. Run and jump to the corner ledge to the north. Turn and run and jump east to pull up onto another ledge. Jump up to grab the crevice in the north wall. Shimmy to the right and around the corners. Shimmy to the right into an inside corner. You can see an item on a ledge below you. Drop onto the ledge and pick up a small medipack. Drop off the ledge to the east and see a crawl space that was underneath the ledge. Crawl inside and go around the corner to the end. Pick up secret #1, large medipack, and red shotgun shells. Crawl out and pull up to the first ledge.

Grab the crevice again and continue shimmying to the right. Eventually a wall stops you. Lara will get into the climbing position. Back flip, roll, and grab a ledge to the north. There is a cave in the west wall. You see a waterfalls and a lake below you. The green area by the lake is a deadly fire trap. Run off the ledge to the north-east and fall into the water. The water current carries you down into an underwater tunnel. Swim to the west and pull up onto a ledge. Pick up flares and climb the west wall. Climb up and stop occasionally and you will see a ledge behind you. Back flip onto that ledge. Go through a crawl space to the north. Enter a small cave for secret #2. Pick up a large medipack, red shotgun shells, and a shotgun. Crawl back out and continue to climb the wall to the top.

Pick up a small medipack from the floor. Go south and slide backwards down the small slope. Grab the edge and safety drop to the ground. Face east and you see the cave entrance and the ledge you jumped from. Go south into the large cave and pick up flares from the ground. Go west and turn around and shoot a snake. Go west and see a higher cave to the south. Hop onto the ledge and go south to pick up a large medipack. Hop back off the ledge and shoot four snakes. You may have to go into the cave again to lure them all out towards you.

Light a flare and go to the south-east corner of the cave. Pull up into a higher cave. Go east to shoot a snake. Go into the north-east corner and get secret #3. Pick up Uzi ammo, red shotgun shells, and a small medipack. Drop back to the lower cave. Go south into a passageway. When the cave turns to the right, pick up blue shotgun shells. Continue west and find Uzi ammo on the floor. Hop onto a north ledge for a small medipack. Go west and hop into an alcove for flares. Go north into a sandy pit for a small medipack. Go west into an alcove for red shotgun shells. Go east and then north to exit this cave. Return to the starting cave.

Continue west into the dark cave. Look into the dark south-west corner for a small medipack. Then go to the north-west corner. Back flip off a slope and jump forward into a tunnel in the upper north wall. Go forward to a deep pit. Grab the ceiling and monkey swing north over the deep pit. Drop onto a block. Hop down a few blocks and pick up red shotgun shells. Go west and enter the first left alcove to pick up Uzi ammo. . Go west to the end and enter the right alcove to pick up a large medipack. Turn around and follow the tunnel to the south. Pick up blue shotgun shells and run to the east. You get a dizzying flyby of the cave, the earth, a jungle area, a polluted beach, a map, and a waterfall. Then the level changes.

Level 2: Google web site

This is just a very long flyby showing information from a Google search. I guess that it mentions items relating to the author's story. Then the level changes.

Level 3: Taiga siberians (Siberia)

You start in a forest and see a deer walking to the north-west in front of you. Turn to the south-west and see many trees. Light a flare and go into the trees. Near the south wall, you get secret #4. Pick up red shotgun shells, flares, and a small medipack. Go north and follow the path to the first tree. Then turn around a shoot a bear. Go north and get among the sloped rocks in the north-east corner. Go into a west alcove and back flip onto a south sloped rock. Jump the slopes and grab the top of the last sloped rock. Pull up, slide down, and jump forward onto a flat ledge. You get secret #5 and pick up blue shotgun shells. Jump down and follow the path to the west.

Where the path turns to the north, stop and look up to the south. Stand jump onto a flat green ledge. You get secret #6 and pick up red shotgun shells and a large medipack. Jump down and follow the path to the north. You are on a cliff and you can see a stream of water ahead of you. Slide down the cliff and go east into an alcove and pick up a small medipack. Go west and north to shoot a bear. The bear is a little slow and may show later near the north wall. Go to the water stream and loop around to the right to pick up red shotgun shells beside the waterfalls. Continue to the follow the path to the north and then east. Back flip off the east slope and grab the bridge above you. Run and jump onto a flat ledge in the north-west corner. You get secret #7 and pick up blue shotgun shells and flares. Safety drop to the ground and return back to the top of the bridge.

Run and jump to the east area. You are beside a deep lake. Dive into the lake and pick up red shotgun shells from the bottom where the pebbles meet the sand. Pick up a small medipack from the sand in the middle of the lake floor. Swim to the south wall area and pick up flares. Now return to the middle of the lake. Look east and see a triangular opening in the east wall. Swim towards the triangular opening. An earthquake happens and you get a cut scene of a tiger on the lakeshore. There are electrical arcs in the sky. Forget about the tiger. If you swim and pull up onto the shore, you catch fire.

Swim into the new tunnel. Swim down, loop around to the left, and swim up where you can see the surface. Pull up onto a south ledge for secret #8. Pick up Uzi ammo, blue shotgun shells, red shotgun shells, and a large medipack. Dive back into the water and swim down the underwater tunnel to the north. This is not a maze so just follow the tunnel. After you swim through a large opening, turn to the north-west corner and pick up red shotgun shells. Swim east and pick up Uzi ammo. Swim south and pick up a large medipack. Swim up a long vertical shift and surface in a dark cave. Pull up onto the south ledge. Jump across the water to the north ledge and shoot a demigod. He drops nothing but it stops him from shooting you in the back. Jump back to the south ledge and go south to a pit. Jump forward to the south slope. Back flip to a higher slope. Jump forward and grab a ledge. Pull up onto the ledge.

Grab the ceiling and monkey swing to the north. Drop onto a ledge and pick up a small medipack. Drop into the north tunnel and go west to shoot a demigod. He leaves nothing. Go east and onto a ledge over a deep pit. Use the light from the binoculars and look to the south-west corner. The corner south wall looks different. Run and jump to grab the wall. Climb down into the pit. Go east and get secret #9. Search the floor area near the walls and pick up a large medipack, flares, red shotgun shells, blue shotgun shells and a small medipack. You can shoot or ignore a bear. Climb the wall again, back flip, roll, and grab the ledge. Pull up and go east to the end.

Run and jump to grab the rope. Use the rope to swing over the pit and land on the east ledge. Do not go into the north-east tunnel. If you do, the tunnel collapses and traps you inside with a wraith. Instead go into the south-east tunnel. Go to the end and climb the east wall. Pull up and get a cut scene of the area. There is a tiger walking around that changes into a guide. Lara says something that I could not understand. The guide lights a torch and stands near a circle on the ground. Walk near the guide and he lights a fire on the circle. The guide walks to a second circle and lights a fire. There are electrical arcs on the top of the center tree and the level changes.

Level 4: L'isola di ghiaccio e fuoco (Iceland)

You are standing beside a volcanic glacial lake. There is nothing in the area to the south. Go under the waterfalls and push in a moveable block in the west wall. Look at the floor inside the tunnel entrance. You will see the tunnel and the locations of the moveable blocks. You have just pushed in block #1. The block to the north is block #2. Push block #2 three times to the north wall. Go west and pick up a small medipack and Uzi ammo. Look into the tunnel to the west. That is the exit. You have to move the blocks out of the way to reach the exit.

Number the blocks from #3 to #6 from left to right. Block #3 is in the exit tunnel. Go east and push block #6 to the north wall beside block #1. Push block #5 to the south wall. Move block #4 east twice and south twice to put it beside block #5. You have revealed blocks #7 and #8 at the north wall. There is nothing under them, so ignore them. Pull block #3 from the tunnel entrance. Get behind the block and enter the tunnel.

Follow the tunnel to a room with four columns. Search the floor and find red shotgun shells, flares, large medipack, and grenade normal ammo. Go north and slide down a wide slope. Immediately run to the left to avoid two spike balls rolling behind you. Crawl under the wall darts and go west. Stop at the last wall dart and look to the south. You see a trap door with spikes and a circular spike trap. To the north is a slope with a spike ball at the top. Jump over the trap doors and wait until the circular spikes retract. Jump south over the spikes and a trap door opens. You fall a long distance and land in a water pool. Pull up at any convenient location. Beware of steam emitters and falling icicles in the ice cave.

Dive into the water and swim south for red shotgun shells on the floor. Pick up a small medipack on the north ledge. From there, run and jump around the south-east snow hill and find a wall switch on the very dark east wall. Pull down the wall switch and a door opens in the south wall. Go there and enter the alcove. Climb the ladder and when the ladder gets wider, shimmy to the right. Drop onto a ledge and pick up a small medipack. Climb the ladder to top and get a flyby showing a wall switch and a closed door. Go south and a dragon appears on the south hill. Run west towards the wall switch and a trap door opens. You fall a long way into water.

Swim north and into an underwater tunnel. Swim west and then north again. Look up to the ceiling for an opening. Surface there for air. Pull up into the room for secret #10. Pick up red shotgun shells, large medipack, Uzi ammo, flares, and the grenade gun. Dive back into the water and continue to swim north. Follow the tunnel and enter a large shaft. Pick up a small medipack, red shotgun shells, Uzi ammo, and flares from the floor. Swim up the shaft and surface for air. You may have noticed a tunnel in the east wall near the bottom of the shaft. That is the tunnel you entered from. You may have noticed a second tunnel in the west wall near the midpoint of the shaft. The current is too strong and pushes you out of that tunnel. Pull up onto a ledge and climb the ladder. You are in central room over the shaft. There are four attached rooms on the other sides of archways.

West room:

Go west and enter the west room. Enter the water and you are sucked into a hole. You emerge in the vertical water shaft again. Surface and climb the ladder again.

North room:

Go north and enter the north room. Ignore the water and enter either archway in the north wall. Go west and climb the wall ladder. Pull and go west to slide down into an ice cave. Watch out for falling icicles. There are frozen swans on the ice. Shoot the swans and pick up a small medipack, Uzi, blue shotgun shells, red shotgun shells, and grenade normal ammo. Jump into the dark alcove in the north-west corner. Use a flare and go to the end to get secret #11. Pick up Uzi ammo, flares, and red shotgun shells from the floor. Exit and enter the room in the north-east corner. Shoot only the east and north wall angels and pick up flares. Save the game before you shoot the west wall angel.

Shoot the west wall angel and an ice wraith appears. Run out of the room. Go to the south-east corner and get into a crawl space in the east wall. Crawl through and stand up in a tunnel. Run down the tunnel and drop into the hole at the end. You land in the water of the west room. The current sucks you in a hole. You emerge in the vertical water shaft again. Surface and climb the ladder again. Go to the west room and see that the water has been frozen by the ice wraith. Run over the ice and into the archways at the west wall. Go south and pick up Light Crystal #1 (Cristallo di Luce #1) from the pedestal. Return to the central room.

East room:

Go east and enter the east room. Ignore the water and enter either archway in the east wall. Go north and drop into a water hole. Follow the tunnel and enter a room with four holes in the ceiling. This puzzle was very confusing.

Pull up into the north-west hole. You pull up into a room with a wall switch on the west wall and a closed door at the east wall. Notice that three holes are ice covered. Pull down the west wall switch and dive back into the water.

Pull up into the south-west hole. You pull up into a room with a wall switch on the west wall and a closed door at the east wall. Notice that three holes are ice covered. Pull down the west wall switch and dive back into the water.

Pull up into the south-east hole. You pull up into a room with a wall switch on the west wall and a closed door at the east wall. Notice that three holes are ice covered. Pull down the west wall switch and dive back into the water.

Pull up into the north-east hole. You pull up into a room with a wall switch on the west wall and a closed door at the east wall. Notice that three holes are ice covered. Pull down the west wall switch and dive back into the water.

Pull up into the north-west hole. You pull up into a room and the east wall door is open. Enter the door and follow the tunnel to pick up Light Crystal #2 (Cristallo di Luce #2) from the pedestal. Return to the room and dive into the water. Swim south to return to the east wall archways. Return to the central room.

South room:

Go south and enter the south room. Ignore the water pool and enter either archway in the south wall. Go east and enter a large room with angels on the wall. Place the two crystals in the receptacles on the south wall. The doors open and a wraith appears. Run into the doorway and run down the steps. Dive into the water to extinguish the wraith.

You get a fly of the area showing you two items and a picture on the wall. Swim behind the south-west columns and pull up onto a ledge. Climb the ladder but do not pick up the item on the pedestal. Grab the ceiling ladder and monkey swing to the other column. Pick up the Sun Disc (Disco del Sole) from the pedestal. Four fire wraiths appear and start to attack. Jump into the water below to extinguish the fire wraiths. Swim back to the south-west column and climb the ladder again. You can see an open tunnel in the west wall. Pick up the Sun Goddess (Dea del Sole) from the pedestal. The water changes to lava and a dragon appears in the lava far below you. The dragon shoots fire and locusts at you.

Run and jump into the open tunnel in the west wall. Climb the ladder and at the top of the very dark wall section, back flip into an alcove. You get secret #12. Pick up blue shotgun shells and Uzi ammo. Jump back to the ladder and climb to the top. Run outside through the archway and the level changes.

Level 5: Amazzonia (Amazon Basin)

You start in a completely dark area. Walk forward and pick up the Sun Talisman (Talismano del Sole) and a PDA. You did not carry the items over from the last level. Examine and PDA and see:

"Luogo - Amazonia

Segreti - Cinque

Obiettivo - Fermare immediateamente

la construzione dell'oleodotto"

However, I cannot translate it. Go forward and slide down a slope. You get a cut scene of a military camp and guards near some trucks in the jungle. When you get control back, slide down the slope to the jungle floor. Go south and shoot two guards. Turn to the west and shoot three guards. Watch where they fall and pick up a small medipack, grenade gun, and three Uzi ammo. Hop onto the tree stump near the area where you shot the guards. Run and jump to the hill to the south-east. You can stand on the top. Light a flare and follow the top of the hill to the east into the dark corner. You get secret #13 and pick up revolver ammo, revolver, blue shotgun shells, and a large medipack. Slide down the hill and go south.

At the bottom of the depression, go west and see a water stream. Dive into the water and swim west and pull up onto a ledge under a waterfall. Turn around and shoot three crocodiles. Dive into the water hole to the west. Just follow the underwater tunnel. It is not a maze and there is no air until you surface at the end. Somewhere in the tunnel, you are attacked by a school of small fish. You surface in a bowl shaped depression filed with water in a dark room.

Go west and enter the doorway. In the north-west corner alcove is a closed door. Go south and dive into the water. Swim until you see a crocodile. Swim back to the ledge and shoot the crocodile. Get back into the water and follow the underwater tunnel. Pull up into a ceiling opening just around the first corner. Pick up Uzi ammo and a large medipack. Use the floor lever and exit back into the water. To the east is an area with a closed door. If you swim there, more crocodiles attack. Ignore that area for now and swim to the west and back to the starting ledge.

Return to the starting room and pull up into an upper tunnel in the south wall. There are two side tunnels in the right wall. Run to the end and turn to the right into the second side tunnel with wall darts. Two spike balls roll behind you. Enter the room and see two unlit wall torches and two closed doors. The doors match the walls and are hard to see. Use the two floor levers and exit the room. Loop around to the left and enter the other side tunnel. Climb the blocks and enter a tunnel to the north. There are a few side tunnels.

Enter the first side tunnel to the east. Go around a corner and pull up into an upper crawl space in the east wall. Drop on the other side and go north to get secret #14. Pick up blue shotgun shells, large medipack, and crossbow poison ammo. Crawl back up and continue south to a junction. Pull up into a crawl space in the north-west corner and pick up a torch. Save the game and throw the torch onto the floor. Get down and pick up the torch. It is very hard to see on the dark floor. Go west and enter a large room. Drop the torch and see where it lands. Run to the north-west corner and shoot a demigod. Notice two unlit braziers on the south wall. Enter the north tunnel for grenade normal ammo. Turn the corner to the east and use the floor lever. Go east and turn into a right alcove for Uzi ammo. Go east and see a room with fires on braziers.

Return to pick up the torch that you found and light the torch on the fire. You can pick up red shotgun shells from the corner of the room. Exit the room and go up the west tunnel. Light the two braziers on the south wall. You hear a door open in the south-west corner. That leads to a water pit and a closed door. Ignore that door for now. Take the torch and go north to the floor lever and east to the entrance tunnel. To the south is the entrance to this area. Drop the torch on the floor. You will need it later.

Go north and enter the open door. Run and jump to grab the climbable wall. Shimmy to the right and pull up onto a corner to avoid the fire. Stand jump to the east onto a small ledge. Run and jump north to another ledge. Pull up to the north and see a floor lever in the far distance. Grab the ceiling and monkey swing over to there and use the floor lever. Pull up into an upper crawl space in the west wall. Crawl to the end pick up explosive crossbow ammo. Use the floor lever and crawl back out. Monkey swing back to the south. Run and jump to the small ledge. Run and jump west to grab the climbable wall. Shimmy to the right and pull up between the two fires. You are safe from the fires. Turn around and stand jump to grab a hanging rope. Swing into the exit tunnel to the south-west.

Pick up the torch and go south down the blocks. Loop around to the right and enter the room after the wall darts. Light the wall torches on the south wall and a door opens. Pick up the Snake Crystal #1 (Cristallo di Fuoco #1) from the pedestal. Go north and enter the other open door. You get secret #15. Pick up crossbow explosive ammo, crossbow, and a large medipack. Exit this room and go to the left. Go back you where you entered this area with the bowl shaped depression. Go through the west door again. Go back into the water. Avoid the crocodiles and swim to the end. Pull up into the open west door and shoot the two crocodiles.

Enter a room and search the floor for red shotgun shells and a small medipack. Go north and pick up Snake Crystal #2 (Cristallo di Fuoco #2) from the pedestal. A door opens in the south wall. Go there and shoot a demigod. Get into the water and swim back to the starting ledge. Go north and west into the open door. Follow the dark tunnel to a large room. Go south and place the crystals in the receptacles on the side walls. The circular door opens in the south wall.

Go up the steps. Follow the steps and be careful of the large gaps after the first corner. At the second corner there is another large section of steps missing. Do not jump the gap yet. Go to the right of the broken steps and drop to grab the edge. Climb down the wall a long ways to near the bottom of the pit. Shimmy to the right and pull up into a crawl space. Crawl to the end for secret #16. Follow the crawl space and pick up grenade super ammo, large medipack, laser sight, and revolver ammo. Crawl out and shimmy to the left. Climb up the wall and pull up beside the broken steps. Jump the gap and follow the steps up to a tunnel.

Enter the tunnel and pick up a large medipack. You emerge onto a ledge over a deep pit. You can use the binoculars and look up to the south-east area and see a demigod walking around. Jump the ledges to the east. Jump onto a slope and jump forward to another ledge. Jump to the corner ledge and pull up onto a column. Now the demigod can shoot at you. Use the laser sight and revolver or crossbow and shoot the demigod. Grab the ceiling ladder and monkey swing south to drop onto a ledge. Run and jump south to grab a ledge. Pull up and pick up a small medipack. Turn to the right and climb a wall. At the top, slide down a slope. Jump forward to another slope. Jump with a left curve to land on a flat ledge. Shoot the demigod now if you did not do it earlier.

Run and jump to the north-west and land on a ledge. Jump west over and onto a slope and bounce forward onto flat ledge. Turn around and drop to grab the west edge. Shimmy to the right until you are opposite a ledge to the south. Pull up, slide down, and jump onto that ledge. Run and jump to the ledge at the south wall. Run and jump to a corner ledge to the west. Pick up blue shotgun shells and climb the walls to the north. At the top, you can see three ropes hanging to the east. Before you go there, go south and pick up a small medipack. Continue south down the blocks. You drop onto a ledge for secret #17. Pick up Uzi ammo, blue shotgun shells, and a large medipack. Climb the walls back up to the top ledge.

Use the ropes to swing onto the ledges at the east wall. Go east into a tunnel and emerge over a deep pit with water. Dive into the water and swim into the underwater tunnel at the east wall. You surface in a cave with a central structure in the middle. Pull up onto the base and go up the steps to the top of the structure. Place the Sun Talisman on the post. You get a flyby of electrical arcs over a jungle stream. Lara says something that I do not understand. You see the area of the opening flyby. A dragon and demigods have destroyed the military camp and killed the guards and the trucks are on fire. Then the level ends by crashing to the desktop.
