LB Advent Calendar 2009 - Augusta Treverorum

Level by Eva

Walkthrough by José

Lasersight and Crowbar

Pick up the revolver ammo and go outside to the street. When finding the first trees go to the left and climb the ladder; in the other side pick up the sight. Return to the street. Go W to the main courtyard and to the very W end there is a stand with two trees behind. Between one of the the trees and the stand there is a switch; pull it to open the nearby grated doors W. Go there and enter in the church courtyard. Turn left (S), grab the edge of the low grey roof in its right side, hoist up and jump back to land onto the floating wooden ledge behind; pick up the crowbar there and return to the main courtyard.

Green Key

In the SE there is a smaller stand near a brown block; this stand is moveable; move it one tile N and one tile W over the marked tile in the floor and the block lowers. Open the manhole (facing W) and go down. Pick up the flares and notice the closed door to your left, continue to the end of the passage and pick up more flares and a Green Key from the pedestal. Go back the way you came and light a flare to locate the jumpswitch in front of you; pull it to open the door you've seen before, go there and pick up SECRET #1: a snowflake. Return to the main courtyard.

Revolver and Torch

Go SW and use the key to open the drugstore doors, enter and pick up the large and small medipacks in the corner and the Blue Key in the fountain. Jump over the W counter and use the key to open the trapdoor; climb the ladder and pick up the revolver and a torch from the pedestals. Notice the high raised brown block in SE corner behind the tree; you'll be back here later on. Return to the main courtyard.

Lighting the torch

Go W and the door of the next building opens for you. Notice another snowflake behind the bars in the opposite building. Pick up the flares in the dark corner and jump over the balustrade where the plant is to pick up revolver ammo. Go up the stairs with torch in hand and in the room above you can light your torch in the fireplace. Now if you want a secret you can go to the switch in SW corner, but it's a bit tricky 'cause it's timed and the time is very short. Pull the switch, roll and jump over the first balustrade, quickly jump over the second and when touching the floor below rotate Lara to the right so she's facing the exit, run to the opposite building and jump over the raising bars before they close to get SECRET #2: another snowflake.

Yellow Stone

Take the torch and return outside. In the main courtyard there is a shop in E side with two women; in the N side of this shop there is a partially broken glass, shoot it and enter. Shoot the yellow big present in the floor to get a White Key. Open the small door in SE corner and use this new key in the nearby opening to open the next door. Take the torch with you and light the fireplace (from inside, it's harmless) there to open the grated doors outside. Go there and use the crowbar to get the Yellow Stone from the wall. Return to the main courtyard and leave the torch in a place you can remember; you'll need it later; better leave it in the drugstore.

First Candle 2

Now move the small stand to the next marked tile (2 tiles N and 3 tiles W) to open a door somewhere. There's a corridor in front of the store with two women you've visited before, and in the other side of the street (E) is the open door. In this small room there are a lot of keys, but you can't pick them up. Climb the window sill and a block lowers to your left; approach to the S side and jump with a right curve to reach the high jumpswitch. It seems that nothing happened, but a new key appeared next to the N wall (it's moving). Pick up the Golden Key and go back to the street. You can use this key in a store near the beginning of the level to get Candle 2. Return to the main courtyard.

First Candle 1

Now it's time for giving a use to the yellow stone. Go to the courtyard church where you got the crowbar and the grated doors open for you. Enter and use the stone to open the church doors. Look for a wall switch in the NE corner. Save your game 'cause this timed run is very tricky. Pull the switch, roll and run always jumping all around in a clockwise direction avoiding the obstacles (try to go between the seat and the corner of the wall first) to the outside courtyard, jump over the small low roof and jump back to land onto the floating wooden ledge where you picked up the crowbar before; quickly jump back and take a running jump to the raised trapdoor, trying to land facing NE, then only a sidejump left over the fence to finish the task. It seems that there's nothing to do here, but did you see that Indiana Jones film? You must have faith. Approach to the "abyss" and continue walking (no running): some transparent tiles have appeared; jump from tile to tile to get Candle 1 at the end. Return to the church.

Second Candle 2

Return to the church and combine the candles to place them in the left chandelier near the altar (facing SW) to lower a block somewhere. This block is in the drugstore where you got the revolver a long time ago. Look for the torch (if you can't remember where it is, you can take another one and light it like you did before), go there and jump over the E counter. Jump inside the fireplace (sidejump) and light it to lower the nearby block, revealing a switch. Pull it to lower the W bars and continue through the dark passage, sliding down a ramp at the end. Once at the bottom of the ramp look up to see a pink cone; shoot it with revolver+sight to get the last secret later. The N bars lower as you approach. Enter and see a coffin moving in the church. Go back there (to exit use the switch near the fountain) and eventually you'll arrive at a room with a deep pit. Pull the switch in S wall to lower the bars so you can move the globe in the previous room and shoot the pink cone in the W side of the pit (look below) to lower a block somewhere. Return all the long way back to the room with the globe. If you've read the readme file or if you've heard the voice in the room with the pit:

"Go back to the Golden Orb and never forget your name... sometimes a name is more than just hollow words".

Mmmm... "...never forget your name..." My name is Lara, so move the globe over those four letters (L-A-R-A) and you can get Candle 2. Return to the main courtyard.

Second Candle 1

If you want, you can get another secret in the main courtyard. Move the stand once more to the marked tile in the very NW corner of the courtyard to see glass doors opening. The place is near the corridor you took to the small room with many keys. Go there and get SECRET #3: another snowflake. Also, if you shot the pink cone in the globe room, you can go through the S corridor and to the left to get SECRET #4: another snowflake. Anyway, go again to the drugstore and climb the ladder to the place where you got the revolver; a block has lowered in SW corner behind the tree; jump there and jump to the floating wooden E ledge; take a standing jump to grab the W roof edge, shimmy right and drop to pull the jumpswitch below. This opens the door behind you; enter this shop and pick up the Candle 1.

The Cross

Return to the church and combine the candles to place them in the right chandelier near the altar (facing SE). Finally the nearby bars lower and you can get the Cross. Go back to the main courtyard and place the cross in the central structure with the four stairs (facing E) to open the exit doors.
