Walkthrough provided by

Run through the
corridors until you come into the main chamber.
------------
MAIN CHAMBER
------------
Notice the pink gate in
front of you?
Thats what we need to
open.
First run into the
centre of the room and pick up the shotgun shells, then turn left and you
should see a passage, with two statues either side, go to the right hand side
statue and just to the right of it is a crack in the wall, jump up and grab the
crack, once you have hold of the crack, press jump to have Lara vault up and
grab another crack above her, shimmy left and drop down onto the statue.
From here, jump to the
statue next to Lara and navigate your way across the room using the statues as
platforms, once you reach the last statue, face Lara East, you should see a
broken statue on the floor in front of you.
Look straight ahead, you
should see a jump switch, line yourself up with the switch by walking to the
edge of the statue, then take a hop back and do a running jump and grab the
switch. This will open the pink gate from earlier.
Now run through the open
gate, but only go 2 blocks in, as a boulder is released. Quickly turn Lara
around and get out of the corridor, making sure you run to the left or right. Once
the boulder has rolled by go back into the corridor and pull the lever on the
wall, opening a door on the south side of the main chamber. Deal with the two
raptors and enter the newly opened door.
Run straight down the
corridor and you'll come to a room with 3 possible paths, for the sake of the
guide, we'll take the left path first, so enter the passage to Lara's left.
------------
Left Chamber
------------
Run down the corridor
until you get to a room with two paths, ignore the path to the right as this is
a dead end and walk to the edge of the door in front of you. You remember this
room? Changed a bit huh?
First of all jump onto
the tall block in front of you, if you fall into the water skip to section (1)
if not continue reading, from here turn Lara to the right, there should be an
opening in the wall straight ahead of you with another on the south-west wall,
it's the one on the south-west which we need to get to, so take a running jump
and hopefully you will now be in a tiny nook in the wall, now this next part is
a very tricky jump, walk to the edge, over-looking the chamber and position
Lara so that she is roughly in the middle of the edge, now turn about 80 degrees
to the right and make a standing jump, whilst holding action, grab the ledge
and climb up. Go to section (2) if you missed the ledge and landed in the water
follow section (1) .
(1)
Go to the passage on the
north side of the wall, follow the corridor round until you come to an opening,
over-looking the chamber, now walk to the very edge and look to Lara's right,
see that opening? We need to be in there, so position Lara about midway along
the edge, remember to hold walk to avoid falling off. Now turn about 80 degrees
to the right, from here do a standing jump whilst holding action, if you fall
in the water, go back round and try again. From here vault up onto the ledge in
front of you, now turn left and vault up the three ledges in front of you. Now
simply follow the corridor round until you get to a drop, turn Lara around and
hop backwards, grabbing the ledge on your way down, now let go of action and
let Lara drop, now, with Lara's face to the wall, turn left and hop backwards
yet again, make sure to grab the ledge as you fall, once you land turn Lara
around. Now we have another one of those tricky jumps, so once again, walk up
to the edge, position Lara in the centre and turn about 80 degrees, now do the
standing jump as before, with action held to grab the ledge, if you fall in the
water you will have to repeat section (1), if you make the jump then pull up
from the
ledge and proceed to
section (2).
(2)
So you're finally in the
corridor, follow the corridor round until you reach a lever, pull it and you
will see a platform rise in the water, part one of the puzzle solved.
Now run back out of the
corridor and drop into the water, you see that yellow block in the water? We
need to move that into position, so first position Lara so that the block is in
front of her and she is facing south, from here push the block two spaces
forward, then go around to the East side of the block and push it west-wards,
so it bridges the gap.
See the really tall
block? Make your way around it so that Lara is facing south with the block in
front of her, now push the block forward two places, until it won't move
anymore. Back into the water and push the little yellow block 1 space
west-wards yet again, then push it south by one place, from here climb upon the
block and push the tall block forward another space.
Then head to the passage
on the north side of the room. Follow the corridor round until you come to an
opening, over-looking the chamber, now walk to the very edge and look to Lara's
right, see that opening? We need to be in there, so position Lara about midway
along the edge, remember to hold walk to avoid falling off. Now turn about 80
degrees to the right, from here do a standing jump whilst holding action, if
you fall in the water, go back round and try again. From here vault up onto the
ledge in front of you, now turn left and vault up the three ledges in front of
you.
Now simply follow the
corridor round until you get to a drop, turn Lara around and hop backwards,
grabbing the ledge on your way down, now let go of action and let Lara drop,
now, with Lara's face to the wall, turn left and hop backwards yet again, make
sure to grab the ledge as you fall, once you land turn Lara around. Now walk to
the edge as we need to do a running jump onto the tall block that we pushed
into place earlier, so do the usual, hop back, run forward and jump, no need to
grab. Now we need to do another run and jump, you see that crudely built wooden
platform ahead of you? We need to run and jump over to that, but as it is 3
squares away, we will need to grab as well.
Once you have grabbed
hold of the platform, pull yourself up, run forward and pull the lever. That's
one door down 2 more to go.
From here turn around
and drop into the water. Once again go to the corridor on the North wall and
work your way around, you should know how to by now. When you reach the area
with two paths, this time turn left and run straight ahead, once in this room
run out through the passageway located on the west wall, prepare your guns as
once you reach the middle of the corridor, two more raptors will attack, one
from behind, one from in front, dispose of them and continue up the corridor,
you will end up back in the room with 3 paths, once again turn right (Note
from moderator: should be left?), going through the door with what looks
like a paw print above it.
--------------
Middle Chamber
--------------
Run straight ahead,
dropping into the pit and climbing out the other end.
When you enter the next
room, continue going straight and run through the corridor ahead. In here,
there's a rolling ball on top of a trapdoor, we need to open the trapdoor and
therefore set the rolling ball off.
Firstly push the golden
block onto the symbol on the floor, this opens a door close to Lara, go through
the door and pull the lever, thus triggering the trapdoor, watch the little
cutscene.
Once you are back in
control of Lara, drop through the trapdoor and slide down the floor. (Note
from moderator: Shoot the east bars for a secret and some uzi ammo.) Continue
west (south?) and drop down into the water below, from here search the
south (west?) wall for a lever, pull it and swim through the newly
opened door, watch out for the shark though!
You should be in a tiny
water room, check the ceiling for a way out, climb out of the water and follow
the corridor round, pull the lever to see a block being raised, run back round
and drop into the water, swim out of this room and back into the room where you
pulled the lever.
Now swim up to the
raised block and climb onto it, from here climb onto the ledge next to you. The
ceiling here is climbable, so jump up and grab it, follow the bars until you
can go no further, turn left and swing to the wall, get as close as you can,
then let go of action before quickly pressing it again to grab hold of the
crack in the wall.
Shimmy right until you
come to a medipack, pull up, grab the medi, hop backwards and once again grab
the ledge, continue right until Lara can go no further, from here press down
and Lara will swing round and jump, landing on the ledge behind her.
Enter the room to the
west of Lara, as soon as you enter the room climb up onto the block to Lara's
right, run to the wall, jump up and grab the crack in the wall, shimmy left
until Lara can go no further and once again press down, Lara will land on the
ledge behind her. Vault up onto the ledge in front of her and do so again for
the next, now run into the room ahead of you and pull the lever on the
west-side wall, opening another of the three doors, leaving only one more.
From here turn Lara
around, run and drop out through the hole in the floor. Run forward to appear,
yet again, in the room with the symbols, turn left and run down the passage
with a beast looking creature above it.
-------------
Right Chamber
-------------
Follow the corridor
around until you come into a room with seemingly no-where to go. Run to the
left hand side of the north wall and push the block, revealing a passageway. Follow
the passage round until you get to a dead end, push the wall in front of you,
that's right it was another block, push it two spaces forward and then turn
right and push another block two more spaces, uncloaking a hole in the floor. Drop
down through the hole and follow the passage round, climb out by jumping and
grabbing the ledge on Lara's right, pull the lever and watch the last door
open.
Run back round the
corridor and climb out, from here run back to the room with the three symbols
and then make your way back to the main chamber, a flyby should occur here,
showing you what lies ahead, more importantly, the Scion.
------------
Main Chamber
------------
Just run straight
across, through the corridor where the doors once prevented you from getting
any further. You should now be in a room with fire breathing statues and a lot
of stairs. The fire coming out of the statues is timed, so either wait for it
to stop or crawl under the fire, either way takes about the same amount of
time.
Once you're past the
fire just run straight up the stairs and into the Scion room, grab the Scion,
causing the place to start collapsing. So draw your weapons and head for the
door to Lara's right, as the way you entered this room has collapsed, two
Raptors will be waiting on the other side of the door, kill them and continue
down the corridor, ending up in the main chamber. Make your away across the
chamber, watching out for the collapsing ceiling, jump the dormant boulder to
end up back in the cave like corridors at the beginning of the level, follow
them round to complete the level.
Well Done!
