WALKTHROUGH by Lizard Queen

  Main Hub: North/West

The level begins with Lara facing the west wall of a simple yet nicely textured room with four paths, one in each corner. Start by taking the corridor in the north/west corner. Follow it around until you reach an alcove on the west wall. Climb the block and watch a cutscene. Turn right and push the floor lever, opening the gate into the next area.

 

Facing west at the edge of the newly opened gate, take a standing jump and grab the monkey swing above. Follow the corridor around until you have a choice of going either left or straight. Go left and monkey swing forward to the wall. Turn left, swing one tile forward and drop onto the block below. Face south, jump back and grab the edge of the block and drop down. Face west and take a standing jump to the next ledge. Take a running jump to the second ledge and turn right. Shoot the pot and pickup the flares. Face west again and drop onto the lower floor. Light a flare (or shoot pistols to save on flares) and pickup the Grenade ammo in the north/west corner. Pickup the Uzi ammo in the north/east corner and a large medipack near the middle of the west wall. Reverse roll, climb the east ledge and take a running jump back over to the ledge. Take a standing jump to the next ledge and turn right.

 

Walk to the end, turn left and take two steps back from the edge. Light a flare and take a standing jump and grab the edge of the sloped block. Pull up, slide and jump to the next sloped block. Slide as far as possible without falling off and jump to the next sloped block. Slide as far as possible on this one as well and jump and grab the ledge ahead. Shimmy to the left as far as possible and pull up. Turn around, angle right and take a running jump to the sloped block closest to the wall (you will not slide off this one). Push the floor lever, opening a set of double doors back in the Main Hub and return to the edge of the sloped block nearest the wall. Angle right and take a running jump back to the ledge. Jump back and grab the edge. Shimmy right and pull up. Climb the ladder, pull up and slide down the ramp. Turn left and follow the corridor back to the Main Hub.
