Level 1: Lara's Home
This is a training area for Lara's new moves. Go forward and climb the
ladder and follow the spoken instruction. Run and jump to grab the west slope
and shimmy to the right. Tap the DOWN ARROW to turn around and jump to grab a
crevice on the east column. Tap the ALT key to jump up to grab the ledge above
you. Pull up and go north up the ramp. Run and jump to grab the column to the
far north. Use the CTRL and UP ARROW to walk the tightrope. When the
instructions say jump, use ALT and CTRL to jump and grab the ledge.
Go forward onto a balcony over a large room with a pool. Run around the
balcony to the other side and dive into the pool. Pull out anywhere and go into
the north-east alcove. Push the corner block twice into a small room. Go behind
the block and pick up a Silver Dragon for secret #1. Exit the small room and go to the south
wall. Pull down the switch on the wall labeled Main Menu and the level ends.
You can also use ALT and UP ARROW to roll forward out of a crawl space. It
is not mentioned in the author's notes.
Level 2: Black Dream - A Christmas Adventure
The level starts with Lara on a horse drawn sleigh. She falls off and the
gates close behind her. Turn around and run north. The icon for the diary
appears in the corner of the screen. You can read the diary and it states
"Ohh nee! Me boob has to walk now at home..."
Continue forward and see two signs near the east wall that point downwards
to a snowy depression. Continue north up the hill. As you pass a statue, Lara
looks at a snowmobile behind a fence. On the other side of that statue is a
stable with horses. The diary states:
"Hmm! I could use the snow mobile good."
Continue north and stop at the top of a slope. Open the door in the house
to the west. Enter the room and get a cut scene of Lara and a man in front of a
fireplace. The author's notes state that he is Lara's biggest fan". I
could not get the spoken conversation. Look west and see a old style pre-CD
phonograph turntable. Go left into a hallway and pick up a rubber band (Gum) from the floor. Continue west and
turn into an alcove and pick up Metal Clad from
the floor. Ignore the door and go west to a small cabinet. Take one step back
from the cabinet and use CTRL to search the cabinet and get a Slingshot. The side alcove doors do not open so exit
this house.
Run south past the snowmobile to the start of a slope. Combine the
slingshot and rubber band to shoot the window in the house to the west. Enter
the room and pick up the flashlight from the
floor. Pull back the tiger rug and pick up the Grey
Key from the floor. Notice a Christmas pudding on the central table. Go
west down the corridor and go down some steps into the basement. Search the
small cabinet and pick up a Disc Record. Ignore
the statue in the wall for now. Go up the steps and exit this house. Go north
to the first house and enter again. Place the record on the phonograph
turntable. There is a cut scene and another conversation. This sets out your
mission to light the fire in the fireplace in exchange for the snowmobile. Exit
this house and go south and return to the house with the basement.
Go down the steps to the basement again. Pull the statue from the south
wall and place it the right light floor tile near the north wall. Step on the
left tile and the floor drops under your weight. Face east and see a column
through the crack in the floor. Use the slingshot again and shoot that column
until it breaks. The column in the east corner descends in front of you. Push
the statue into that corner. A gate opens in the south wall. Go there and enter
the alcove. Pull the wooden box out into the room. Enter the room and see a
closed gate. Shoot the demon statue through the slot in the east wall. The gate
opens behind you. Enter the tunnel and pick up Firestone
#1 off the floor and return to the basement.
Pull the statue out of the corner. Push the wooden box into the corner in
its' place. You can stand on the wooden box. Pull up into an east wall tunnel. Follow
the tunnel down to room with a statue and columns. To the right of the statue
are two short gates between posts of a stall. Push open the short gates to the
stall. Enter the stall and shoot the fuse panel. Pull down the switch and a
column drops in the room. Pull back the statue and place the statue on the
dropped column. Enter the stall again and reset the switch. Go to the column
and hop onto the block beside it. Pull up through the open trap door. You are
in the stable. Push the statue forward and south into the rear end of the
horse. You get a cut scene of the horse running forward and opening a gate.
Go north to the wall and turn into an alcove to your right. Use the Gray
Key in a key lock. Go east to the newly opened gate. Enter the room and pick up
the shovel off the floor. Drop down to the
lower ledge to the south. Walk the tightrope and jump to grab the ledge to the
far south. Go to the south-west corner and pull down the hard-to-see switch on
the south wall. This raises a box in the pit that you have just crossed. You
can do nothing else yet so just exit this area and then exit the stables.
Go south down the slope and approach the signs near the east wall. Lara
started to dig when she landed on the snowy depression near the signs. When
finished, pick up Firestone #2 off the ground. Go
north and up the hill. Continue north to the house with the man and the
fireplace. Go near the fireplace and get a cut scene of Lara lighting the fire.
There is another conversation that I could not understand. Check your inventory
and notice that the firestones are gone but you have the Garden Key. Exit this house and go south to a key
lock. Use the Garden Key and the gate opens. You can now get the snowmobile. Just
drive the snowmobile outside the gate and get off for now.
Enter the snowmobile area again and pick up a torch
(tree twig) off the ground in the south-east corner. Return to the house
with the man. Stand in front of the fireplace and light the torch. Exit this
house and return to the stables. Return to the room with the tightrope. Drop
into the pit and stand jump onto the box and then onto the south ledge. Stand
in front of the wire-mesh door and light the door with the torch. The door
descends (melts?) into the floor. Enter the room and pick up the crowbar (sword) off the floor. The diary states:
"A sword? Maybe I can switch something with it..."
Crawl through the green curtain on the south wall and into a lower crawl
space. Crawl to the end of the crawl space and pick up Mistletoe
off the floor. Crawl back out and exit this area. Go back through the stables
to the outside area. Go south and west through the broken window again. Stand
on the north side of the central table and face south. Place the mistletoe on
the Christmas pudding on the table. You hear the music for secret #1. Although you seem to get nothing for your
effort.
Exit this house and return to the snowmobile. Drive north down the slope
and follow the snowy valley. Go west and drive over trapdoors. If you drive at
an angle, you can open the doors and not fall into the pit. But it does not
matter if you do fall into the pit. Get off the snowmobile and safety drop into
the pit. Run west towards a mound on the floor. The diary states:
"This face on the ground. Somehow the mouth is well opened."
Stand on the south side of the mouth and face north. Use the crowbar on
the mouth as if it were a broken floor lever. You hear something open. Pull up
out of the pit. Go west and enter the open glass doors. You get a flyby of the
area showing the demon in the cage from Black Dream part 1.
Go west and stop just pass the horse statues. Look to the north wall and
see a small blue statue. Shoot the statue to break it. Pick up Golden Eye #1 off the floor. Continue west to the end
of the cave. You can see a closed gate in a south tunnel. Go north and drop
down the ledges into a lower area. Continue north into a room with moveable
blocks and a ledge. Pull out a moveable block from the west wall. Push the
block into the north-west corner. Push the block on the ledge onto that block. Pull
out the second lower block and push it beside the first lower block in the
corner. Climb the blocks and pull up into a large cave area.
Go west and pass an icicle gate and a receptacle to the north. Continue
west into a room with electrical arcs between columns. To the north is a closed
icicle gate. Behind it you can see a Santa Claus statue and elves skating on
the ice. To the south is a closed icicle gate leading to a tunnel. Continue
west into an outdoor area. There is a water channel next to a temple structure
with a statue. The statue is moveable but you cannot move it yet. The diary
states:
"This river... if it wouldn't be so wet..."
Go south and see a closed gate in the wall. Dive into the water channel
under the gate and swim down. Follow the underwater tunnel to the end and
surface near a closed underwater gate. The camera view changes to an overhead
view to make things difficult. Grab the south wall crevice and shimmy to the
left. Use the DOWN ARROW to turn around and grab another crevice. Use ALT to
jump up to grab the higher crevice. Use the DOWN ARROW to turn around and grab
the top of a ledge and pull up. Go forward and drop into the underwater tunnel
on the other side of the closed underwater gate.
Follow the underwater tunnel and surface in a large room. In the middle is
a large blue statue. In the north-east corner is a pull chain. There are three
openings in the walls. Each opening leads to a large room with a large horizontal
obelisk.
Enter the north opening. Climb the ladder on the west wall and back flip
into a higher room. You can see a turntable. Rotate the turntable once counter
clockwise. Shoot the small blue statue at the east wall. Pick up Golden Eye #2 off the floor. Safety drop to the
floor. The obelisk should point to the statue room. Return to the statue room.
Enter the west opening. Shoot the small blue statue at the south wall. Pick
up Golden Eye #3 off the floor. Climb the
ladder on the north wall and back flip into a higher room. You can see a
turntable. Rotate the turntable twice counter clockwise. Safety drop to the

Enter the south opening. Climb the ladder on the west wall and back flip
into a higher room. You can see a turntable. Rotate the turntable once
clockwise. Notice a closed gate in the corner. Safety drop to the floor. The
obelisk should point to the statue room. Return to the statue room.
Go to the north-east corner and pull the pull chain once. You hear a
noise. Turn around and see yellow beams from the three obelisks. The large blue
statue breaks. Enter the south opening and climb the west wall again. Back flip
into the higher room. The gate in the corner is open. Go there and enter the
room. Pick up The Gold Dragon for secret #2. Get down and return to the room with the
broken statue. There is another face on the ground where the statue stood. Stand
on the south side and face north. Use the crowbar on the mouth. The water
channel has frozen. Enter the north opening and cross the room. Hop onto the
north ledge and exit through the open gate.
Go to the temple structure and pull out the statue. Pull the statue east
into the room with electrical arcs. Place the statue onto the circular design
in the middle of the room. You get a cut scene of the icicle gate opening in
the south wall behind you. The icicle gate in the north wall also opens. Enter
the south gate and follow the tunnel to a large room with two statues and a
central pedestal. There is a closed gate in the north-east corner.
Go to the blue howling wolf-shaped statue at the east wall. Place a Golden
Eye and two icicle gates open beside it. Inside the alcoves are statues and
wall switches. Go to the blue howling wolf-shaped statue at the west wall. Place
a Golden Eye and two icicle gates open beside it. Inside the alcoves are
statues and wall switches. There are two statues in the room. Pull down the
wall switches in the alcoves pointed to by the statues. That is, the north-east
and south-west alcoves only. More statues appear in the room and there are
electrical arcs. Hop onto the central block and pick up the Washer for Nothing
from the pedestal. The corner gate is still closed so exit this room.
Go east and south to drop into the entrance cave area. Go south and climb
the ledges. Go across the cave and into the south tunnel. Place the washer in
the middle of the gate and the gate opens. Enter the gate and jump forward to
grab the top of a slope. Pull up, slide down and jump to land on a slope. Slide
down and jump to land on a flat ledge. Save the game. If you fall into the
water, there is a long ladder at the room entrance. Stand jump to grab the
south column. Shimmy to the left and use the DOWN ARROW to turn and grab the
middle column. Shimmy to the other side and use the DOWN ARROW to turn and grab
the last column. Release and grab the crevice below. Use the DOWN ARROW to turn
and grab the middle column. Shimmy to the other side and use the DOWN ARROW to
turn and grab the first column again at a lower position. Shimmy to the left
around the room and pull up into an opening.
Go through a crawl space and enter a room with ramps. The overhead view
makes the movements harder. Once you manage to get onto the first ramp, the
camera view returns to normal. As you go up the ramps, there are many side
tunnels in the corners. Go to the top of the ramps and enter the tunnel. You
get a flyby of a trapdoor and a wall switch somewhere. Enter the room and push
the statue north onto a grate. The grate opens and the statue drops into the
room below.
Safety drop into the room. Push the statue south twice onto a tile with an
arrow symbol. The door should open in the south wall. Enter the room and notice
a closed icicle gate in the east wall and a central pedestal. Go to the west
wall and pull up into a crawl space. Crawl through and drop onto a ledge. Do
not use the tightrope yet. Go north and pull down the wall switch. You get a
cut scene of the icicle gate opening in the previous room. Return to that
previous room and go north back to the statue. Push the statue to the north
wall. The door closes in the south wall.
Exit this room by the east wall tunnel. Go down the ramp and enter the
tunnel in the south wall. Go through the open icicle gate and return to the
room with the crawl space and pedestal. Go through the crawl space again and
drop onto the ledge. Now cross the water on the tightrope. Pull down the wall
switch on the west wall. Dive into the water and swim back to a ladder. Climb
up to the ledge and go through the crawl space again. Go out the tunnel and up
the slope into the room with the statue. Approach the statue and it drops into
the room below. Safety drop into the room. Pull back the statue onto a wooden
tile in the middle of the room. You get a cut scene of the pedestal in the room
with the crawl space. Exit this room by the tunnel in the south-east corner.
Go up the ramps and enter the first tunnel. Return to the room with the
pedestal. Pick up the Golden Ball off the pedestal and leave the room. Go down
the ramps and enter the first tunnel. Enter the room with the statue. Go north
and use the wall switch to open the icicle gate. Enter the room where you have
been before. Cross the room and enter the corner tunnel. Continue to the cave
with the statue and electrical arcs. Go east and place the ball in the
receptacle to open the icicle gate in the north wall.
Enter the gate and go north to the demon in the cage. Go behind the demon
and pick up Christmas Star off the floor. The
diary states:
"I've found the star, my dream is about to be realised.
Now I've to bring it on its place."
Exit the room and go west and north into the room with the Santa Claus
statue. Place the star on the statue. You get a final cut scene and statistics
