Lara vs. Cain
Level by Cain
Walkthrough by DJ Full
KILLING TIPS:
- If you wanna kill an eel when you've run out of
grenades, you need to hit him in the head. Notice Lara ducks a bit in certain
point of backflip animation. In this moment she's
more likely to hit eel's head. So backflip while
shooting whenever you can. If your trigger finger is fast enough to take
advantage from switching targeting to manual, it may be advisable. Also, you
can make some space by letting the eel come closer to you, then rolling and backflipping as many times as necessary to get to the other
side of the place. Then you can duck to hit the opponent in the head more
efficiently.
- To kill a T-Rex, draw the shotgun and run towards the dino.
Then, send it to the eternal archeological museum by
firing one shot only.
- Killing sheeps requires pistols, patience and
distance only.
- Aliens are modified horsemen. Shoot them in the chest.
- Floating sharks are the most distractive things. They can bite and push you
off ledges. When appearing among the other enemies, kill them first.
- Mummies are harmless and bullet-resistant.
- Cain is the easiest boss ever. I can't imagine any useful tips for killing
him. Just do it.
The walkthru includes the silent speech of this
level, written by Cain.
Start of Level:
Goon 1 - Lara, you go on ahead, we'll guard this path.
Goon 2 - If Cain tries to run down here, we'll kill him.
Pick up the shotgun and follow the passage, killing a T-Rex. Kill 3 sheeps and pick up 12 normal shells they dropped. Advance, kill 2 more sheep and an alien. Get into the open
space and shoot next 2 dinos. Jump into the pool and
find a hole at the bottom in the SE corner. Enter it and swim: Left, Right, R,
R, R, Left. Resurface and get out of the water. Kill 3
more sheep and an alien waiting for you among the snowdrifts. Proceed through
to the next location and find yourself behind the gate you've already seen. You
can't kill the giant mummy, but you don't need to mind it - as it was
discovered a long time ago, "they are sooooo big
that they can't attack you" (fragment of rtger's
review of "Castle Cain"). Crawl into something what is, according to
Cain's notes, a rabbit hole. Find some more normal shells in there and make it
to the end of the crawlspace. As soon as you hop out of the pit, enemies of
several kinds appear: aliens, a whole herd of sheep and three floating sharks.
Get rid of the sharks and stand on the top of the snowdrift surrounded by
slopes (aliens and sheep can't go up them). Kill the rest of the opponents from
here. Dying sheeps drop a large medi
and 12 normal shells. Notice a lever switch under the waterfall in the NW part
of the place. Pull it and IMMEDIATELY jump backwards with rolling in midair.
Sprint away from the dinos chasing you. Draw the
shotgun, roll and run towards the T-Rexes to kill
them with two precise shots. SAVE THE GAME. Now the central pit is filled with
water deep enough for Lara to survive the jump in, but keep in mind sometimes
Lara gets killed by the height anyway, so you may need several attempts to jump
into the pool and live. When you succeed, find a hole in the wall and pull up
into another icy passage. 3 more sheeps await you at
its end - you can waste some shells for them. Get out of the corridor, advance
two more red squares ahead and backflip to avoid a
rolling spikeball. Proceeding through the room, watch
out for the next sets of spikeballs. In the next part
of the factory (?), face and kill some giant Bartoli's
thugs. After Marco's death, they obviously found a new boss and you gonna murder him as well in the end of this game. Pick up 2
large medikits and jump over the gap. Advance, killing 2 more aliens. One of them drops some
normal shells. Draw the shotgun. Jump over the next gap and finish 4 T-Rexes. Proceed to the next room, kill another sheep herd,
climb the central polerope and backflip
to land on the upper floor. There's another group of sheep to kill. After doing
so, climb the ice blocks in the next room. Up there, you can see a snowmobile
and your ally next to it.
By Snowmobile:
Goon - I Smashed up Cain's snowmobile.
Lara - I just wish it was his head.
Enter the maze. Keep to the left wall and, after 6 minutes of running, you will
find a hole in the ceiling. Switch targeting to manual, pull up and notice 2
floating sharks unable to move. Destroy them by firing shots rapidly. Pick up uzi clips, 12 x shotgun normal ammo and a large medi. Draw your pistols. Using the same way you killed the
sharks, get rid of lots of Cain's thugs in the following narrow corridors. Pick
up uzi ammo one of them drops and find 18 more normal
shells among the pillars. Switch to automatic targeting. Now proceed to the
next room, kill 2 T-Rexes and find next 18 normal
shells in the NE corner. Go across the room, climb up the wall and collect a
large medi and a pack of super grenades from the top
of it. Descend, kill another T-rex and pick up 2 more
large medis from the SE corner of the dino room. Pull up into the hole next to you. On the other
side, find a crossbow, 10 explosive arrows for it, uzis
and 12 normal shells. Get back to the last dino room
and go W into the unexplored area. You can see a locked gate on your right and
an icy passage in front of you, leading to the outside. Get there and kill 3
more dinos. Now choose the explosive arrows and draw
your crossbow. Follow the large corridor to find a place full of eels. Wipe'em out and climb the ladder to find a switch opening
the gate. You've unlocked the quadbike. Remember it
has no reverse. Get on it and drive to the place when the giant mummy walks
around. Now you can blow it up, but it's not necessary. Jump over two gaps and
proceed through the floating icy ramp, watching out not to fall from it. At the
end, jump over the last gap and land in the next valley. Park in front of the
door, get over the icy wall and notice Lara's thug waiting for her. Avoiding the pit, approach him. Here, another silent line is
spoken.
Mountainside:
Goon - Cain tried to hide down this rabbit hole but I chased him away,
if he comes back, I'll kill him.
Pick up the Fuse and some normal shells and get to the next corridor to find a
switch at the end of it. Press it to open the door for the bike and watch out
for the T-Rex on your way back to the vehicle. After killing the dino, get on the bike and jump over the gap on the left of
the switch. After following the next corridor, the gate leading back into the
factory opens automatically so you can drive inside, get out of the bike and
return to the place you found the bike in. Then, get to the second gate, which
now can be opened by the Fuse you have. Go through the gate and kill 3 sharks
in the next location. See your allies on the other side of the valley and get
closer to them.
End of the Path:
Goon - Cain was here, he headed down that rabbit hole, we've got him
cornered. Go on Lara, show that bastard a world of
pain.
Do what the goon advises. On the other side of the hole, you have two options.
1. With the shotgun drawn. Kill 3 T-Rexes behind the
corner and shoot some Cain's goons. Next, switch to uzis
to shoot the aliens. Then get rid of the eels, the least harmful. Now get to
the passage on the E, behind the place where Cain's goons attacked you.
2. RUN!!! Through the whole location, to the E passage behind
Cain's goons.
Now you can jump on the block and slide down to face Cain himself.
Cain's Hut:
Lara - Hand over the money and I will break your kneecaps but spare
your life.
Cain - You won't get any money out of me you slimy little women. I'll
kill you for threatening me!
Kill Cain. Pick up the Cain's Hut Key and use it in the keyhole to get inside.
Jump over the boxes full of money which now belongs to Lara again and get outta here with your reward.
