BtB 2009 - Heirs of the Medjai

Level by: Horus

Walkthrough by D&G Productions


After falling down into the water, go to the SE corner and face E back up against the block and swim along the surface to the slanted floor E, as soon as Lara puts her feet on the bottom a backflip with roll and grab the block. Jump NE then turn around with your back to the wall jump forwards and grab the ledge W (left).

Hang from the W side and shimmy to the opening S to climb through and drop into a yard. W are 2 gates with the Canopic Jars and E are Flares.

Main Room.

Go through S and wade right around the corner on the right, shoot the vase on the block for a Medipack. Go W and into the niche on the right, get the Uzi ammo and turn around and standjump left around the corner to grab that upper ledge. On the S ledge is a reach-in switch. Use it to open an underwater door somewhere. Jump down from the E end.

Behind the fallen pillar NE is more Uzi ammo. Climb up on that fallen pillar and go in N, swim through and get onto the ledge E, when the flames are down. Duck and crawl under the reach-in switch, stand when the flames are gone and use the switch, backflip away (gate opened). Back to the Main Room, to the palm tree W and take the first corridor left (S) into the passage going up to the opened gate, follow through to a room NW where a Medjai attacks, get the Uzis he will leave behind. Push the button in that room with the cage and watch the flyby of another gate opening up (notice the cage with the Star behind it). Go back down to the Main room and left around the corner into the flooded passage.

Get the Flares behind the opened gate and open the underwater door E, go swim in and careful at the Bird blades. Swim into the door E you opened before and climb up left to get
Secret #1, Grenades. Swim back out.

Timed runs and Golden Vraeus’s.

Climb up the ramp and go straight into a room with Vraeus receptacles. Shoot the scorpions and go to the Room with the pool. Stand on the block and the flames on the ledges in the pool extinguish (Timed). If you happen to fall into the pool, go back to a save or swim through the tunnel NW to get back to that ramp.

You have to jump to the 2 Timed doors, seen in the flyby. No particular order. Go back to the room with the receptacles and there are 2 Cat face tiles, stepping on them will open the Timed doors.

SW corner - The First Golden Vraeus; (easier)
I went from facing E first, run over the E tile and right through the opening to jump diagonally onto the block and a running jump to the ledge, take a step forward and hop to the second ledge, then a runjump curved right and run right around the corner onto the grid. To the timed door and step forward on the right hand side before the door pushes you back. (

Grab the monkey bars and go second left, drop on the grid at the door and face E, stand back a bit and hop right around that pillar onto the slanted ledge, jump again with a left curve and from that slanted ledge a backflip into the opening S. Go get the Medjai Key inside and return. Drop down from the opening and go get Flares S, then the Uzi ammo NE. You can climb back up on the side of the pillar SW and when you stand under the monkey bars a Medjai will come over along the monkey bars, shoot him. Go N to where he came from and get a small medipack there, around the corner is a button to open that door S. Go back to the monkey bars and you can either use them or go down the ladder NW and climb back up SW to the door. Place the Key inside and the flames in the room will stop. Use the monkey bars or the ladders to get to the N side again and from the SW ledge a jump onto the slanted ledge SW (stand a bit back from the corner for the runjump). Slide and jump grab the next slanted block, pull up over the top and slide jump to the ledge with the reach-in switch. That will open the cage at the First Golden Vraeus down N. Climb back up to the entrance pillar and go out, drop from the grid into the water and collect a Medipack and Grenades in this passage before you swim back to the pool. Swim to that left hand opening N and follow through to the ramp.

SE corner - The Second Golden Vraeus; (bit harder)
Go to the trigger tiles at the receptacles and face W, run over W side tile, left into the room with the pool, onto the block and run through to jump to the first ledge, a running jump to get to land on the right hand side of the second ledge, turn left and run to jump and grab the ledge SE, about 3 steps from the left side. Pull up and run to jump left around the corner onto the grid. Run around the corner and jump to the right hand side of the opening. Slide down. (
Video)

Get into the water and get a small medipack N, then open the underwater door S, go through and push the button in that room (a door opens up). Go back, climb out of the pool SE and climb the S side of the pillar-like structure in that corner (with a grate and ladder textures higher up), then right around the corner over the slope, drop/grab and backflip, slide/grab and backflip again with a roll to grab the corner ledge. Jump and grab the crack W to shimmy to the crawlspace, follow through, pick up a big medipack and step onto the right hand trigger block to lower a cage back in the Vraeus room. Go back and safety drop down on the far left. Climb the block NW from the higher sand and turn around to jump and grab the ledge E. Use the reach-in switch and something shakes. The cage above you lowered and there’s a button there. Jump E and get the small medipack, run from the ledge into the water below and get back up to that crawlspace. Go onto the same trigger block and raise the cage back up. Go out, up the ledge NW and jump to grab the cage, go up and right around to the top. Use the button and the cage at the Vraeus will go down. Run down into the water below and go get the Second Golden Vraeus. The way out is through that crawlspace up W where the cage is now lowered. Drop out into the passage with the Timed door, pick up the Grenades and Uzi ammo and swim out to the pool. Go through that left hand opening N again to get back to the ramp.

The Golden Star.

Place both Vraeus and see the cage go down at the Star. Head back N and swim back to the Main room. Go right around the corners up the sloped passage and to the next room where the Golden Star can now be taken. Back down to the Main room and up the beach S to place the Star.

The Canopic Jar of Duamutef.

Turn left and grab up to the grid next to that palm tree. Jump and grab the crack N (nasty tree), go left around and pull up. Hop over the gap (you’ll get back there later) and in the next room is a vase to the left. Shoot it, get the Uzi ammo and use the monkey bars to go around the room passing a door, shoot the vase there and pick up the small medipack. Enter the passage and come to a large square. The opposite side is a mirror and shows you the hazardous spots. First go down S to pick up the Medipack[/b]. Go back up N and use the reach-in switch. Follow the safe path to the other switch and the gate opens up. Walk S and left around the statue, jump from the front of the statue left around the corner and get
Secret #2, the Grenade launcher. Go back to the entrance and up to the room with the monkey bars. If you drop down you can see a receptacle for a Medjai Key and throughout the room you can collect 2x Uzi ammo and Grenades. Climb back up S and climb to the right, go drop down W to the main room. Go out N and left on the yard is the open gate. Get the Canopic Jar of Duamutef. A Medjai will attack and he will leave behind that Medjai Key.

The Canopic Jar of Qebehsenuef.

Go back up the E wall of the Main room and down the ladder there, over ledge to the receptacle. That door at the monkey bars will open up. So, back up the ladder, off to the left and over the monkey bars to and inside the door.

Slide down to get the Flares and backflip onto the slope behind, jump and grab the monkey bars to go over the top of another slope. Slide down into the room with the Pit. Go get the Uzi ammo NW and head into the opening N. Shoot the Medjais and get the Uzi ammo left behind. Stepping into the niche N will start a timed run tune and through the window you can see the door (just to the right).

Go check out the route first so you can also pick up some goodies. Out of the room through the opening SE
(which I found to be easier) and into the left hand opening S, left around the corner through the first door, around a few corners and slide down. Jump from the slope onto that block so you can runjump left around the corner onto the slope to the Timed door ( Video). Just to the left of that door is a niche up S, grab the Grenades there and run forward into the water. Grab the Medipack and swim through to climb back up to the room with the trigger tile. Save and hop back onto the trigger. Follow the route and sprint where you can (or run jumps). Use the reach-in switch to open the gate to the second Jar.

Go out through that passage where the Grenades were and out to the square to the structure in the SW corner and grab up to the crack in the wall, shimmy around the corner and drop into the structure. Use the button to open a door up W. Go back out through the crawlspace. Go back to grab the crack, repeat the shimmying. Save. This time Hop onto the ledge W in this same crack and stand as far as you can into the SW corner facing S, stand jump and grab up to the ledge above and get the Medipack there. Run off from the ledge with a grab to land back on the ledge you came from and step onto the lower ledge in this crack.

Do a run from here to jump and grab to the opening W. You’re back on the yard, go get the Canopic Jar of Qebehsenuef. Go back to that door you just came out from, through the crawlspace and climb back to the square with the statues. Place the 2 Jars in the back of the statues and the pit will be flooded. Dive in and open the underwater door. Climb up E and head S to shoot the Medjai, get the Uzi ammo[/b] and go N into the tunnel in the corner. Down below a bunch of Medjais attack.

Golden Vraeuses.

There are 4 Vraeuses on the ledge, only one is safe, standing in the middle take the SW one. Take it and go back up the tunnel to the pool. Look up right when you exit this tunnel and spot the crack in the pillar, grab up and crawl through, climb off the other side and hang to shimmy left to the next corner. Pull up and drop down to the ledge with a second Golden Vraeus. Dive into the pool and climb out E. Jump to that block in the pool, then over to the ledge W and place both the Golden Birds to bring out a rope over the pool. Jump back to the other side and onto the block a bit on the right. Turn around and take a running jump to the grid (N).
Get onto the monkey bars to the rope. Drop and grab the rope, swing to the ledge left of the reach-in switch W and jump to the SW corner for
Secret #3, a small medipack. Get back to the rope via the monkey bars and now go use that reach-in switch. The gate below E opens up, go in there and get the Amulet of Horus.

The level ends.
