Walkthrough by Harry Laudie
You start with
a flyby showing Lara falling down into the cave and getting up on the ice. Go
south and crouch down to pick up a large medipack. The closed gates at the west wall need an
item. There are closed gates in the south-east corner. Get onto the left slope
at the east wall. Use LOOK to reset the camera view. You can see a snowflake to
the south-east in the opening. However, you cannot get it from here. In the
north-east corner are blue bars. Turn to the west you can see two icicles. One
on the floor and one on the ceiling and they do not seem to meet. However, that
is a climbing pole. Climb the icicles and back flip onto a north ledge. Go to
the east wall and pick up flares. Go to the
west wall and pick up a large medipack.
Go to the edge
beside a sloped block and look up to the east. You should see a column and
three icicles. Run and jump to grab the middle icicle. Climb up and back flip
onto a north slope. You can see a key lock and a closed gate to your left.
Shoot the blue crystals under to the key lock. The crystals shatter and you can
pick up the laser sight. Run and jump onto the
breakable tile to the south-west. Run with a left curve over the tile and jump
onto the safe ledge to the south. There are two rooms ahead of you. The first
room is on your immediate left. The second room is ahead of you.
Enter the
second room and see two closed gates. One gate is at the east wall. The other
gate is in the south wall. There are two dark fancy tiles on the floor. One
tile is in the south-east corner. The second tile is in the north-east corner.
Step on both timed tiles and the gate opens at the east wall. Run through the
open gate into a small room. There is another closed gate for later. Pull down
the wall switch in the north-east corner. Exit the room and return to the ledge
where you started. Notice that a block has dropped in a wall. Go east into the
first room and see a moveable snow block in the north wall. It appears a dark
blue if you use the binoculars. Pull the block out and push the block to the
west as far as possible. Stand on that block and pull down the jump switch on the
north wall. You get a cut scene of the blue bars descending on the ground
level.
Go to the north
ledge and safety drop onto the floor below. Safety drop again to the ground
floor. Go to the north-east corner and enter the room. Shoot the blue crystals
and pick up the revolver. Climb the icicles
again to the second floor. Climb the other icicles and back flip to the ledge
next to a key lock. Use the revolver and laser sight to shoot a ball from the
mouth of a lion statue in the upper north-east corner. It can be hard to see
because of the icicles that get in the way. The door to the east opens. A
second door to the south-east also opens.
Go east into
the corridor. You see a closed gate and a receptacle in a cage. Go south and
see the second open gate. This leads back to the ledge where you were earlier.
Go north and west into a dark corridor. Use a flare and go west. You find a
timed wall switch. Pull down the wall switch and you get a cut scene of a gate
opening. Wait until the wall switch resets and pull down the wall switch again.
Turn to the left and run east and south. Run and jump out the second open gate.
Run west and turn to the left and run through the timed gate in the south wall.
Sprint is useful on the last part of the run. Enter the room and the door stays
open. You get secret #1 when you pick up the Golden Star from the pedestal. You get a cut scene of
a cage dropping somewhere.
Exit the room
and go east into a room that you entered earlier. There is a closed gate at the
north wall. That gate is timed, of course. Return back to the dark corridor of
the timed wall switch. Go to the end and save the game in front of another
timed wall switch. This controls the closed gate that you just saw. Pull down
the wall switch and sprint down the dark corridor. Now run as before towards
the first timed door. This time continue east into the room and then north
through the hopefully open gate. Enter carefully so that you do not fall down
the hole in the floor. Climb down the east wall and drop into the area below.
Hop onto the
blocks to the west and pick up revolver ammo.
The fires are harmless. You can see that you are on the other side of the
second floor area. Go west and pick up the hard-to-see snowflake
#1 from the floor in front of the tree. You get a cut scene of the
receptacle in the cage. Go east into a corridor. You see more cages. Pick up flares from a pedestal. Go behind the pedestal and
pull down the wall switch. You get a cut scene of a closed gate. Go east and
pick up a stone from the pedestal. The east
gate is still closed. Go west and hop onto the ledges with the fires. Run onto
the north snowy slope and slide down. Grab the edge and safety drop to the
ground floor. You will take damage.
Go west and
place the stone in the receptacle to the left of the closed gates. Enter the
gates and pick up the Key from the pedestal. Go
to the south-west corner where you see a dark fancy tile. Run through the south
wall into a small room. You get secret #2 when
you pick up the Golden Star from the pedestal.
You get a cut scene of a cage dropping. You know where the cages are located.
Exit back to the pedestal. Use the revolver and laser sight to shoot a ball
from the mouth of a lion statue in the dark upper north-west corner. You get a
cut scene of a cage dropping somewhere. Exit the room and use the icicles again
to get back onto the ledge next to the key lock.
Place the key
in the key lock. You get a cut scene of a snowball falling and breaking the ice
on the ground floor. Dive into the water and swim south. Pull down the
underwater lever and get a cut scene of gates opening somewhere. A cage has
also risen in the north-west corner of the pool. Swim into a triangular crawl
space at the bottom of the north wall. Swim north and east to a T-junction.

the column and a block has risen beside it. Pull up onto the ledge and go
south. Pull down the wall switch and dive back into the water. Swim north and
around the corner and notice that a block has risen in
the water. Get onto the block and climb up the wall. Shimmy to the right and

raised cage. Jump south to the tree and then east over the snowy slope. Enter
the open doors in the south-east corner.
You enter a
room with three large wall buttons. First pull out a snow block from the west
wall. Move the snow block into the north-east corner of the room. Hop onto the
block and pull up into a triangular crawl space. On the other side, climb down
the wall and into a tunnel. Go north and shoot a grate in the north wall. Drop
into the hole and pull up into the alcove behind the broken grate. You get secret #3 when you pick up the Golden Star from the pedestal. You get a cut scene of

to the receptacle but do not use it yet. Go south-west and jump over the gap.
Follow around the ledge to the open gate with the hole in the floor. The gate
is still open so you do not need to do the timed run again. Climb down the wall
and go into the east corridor. The other two cages are down. Pick up a small medipack from the
