Room with pool:
After the long fall, find some flares and blue shotgun shells and find the crawlspace exit. Climb up the block by the dog and take a long running jump to avoid the spikes. Kill the scorpion. Go to the top of the hill. Find the slanted block by the brown wall and climb up.

Cave with picture:
Climb up on the higher block near the picture and take a long running jump with grab across to the crack in the wall. Shimmy left and around the corner. Take a long running jump with grab to the wall with the hieroglyphics near the torch. Climb up and sideways to the left and drop on the brown ledge. Climb up the wall with the ankh and climb sideways and drop on a ledge. Look overhead for monkey bars and swing across the gap.

Mummies and fire:
Drop down and run to the right wall and climb up on the ledge near the fire. Take a diagonal standing jump with grab to the higher ledge avoiding the fire. Jump to the monkey bars with the wavy lines and swing across above the mummies. Jump grab to the higher ledge and climb up. Kill a scorpion and run towards teh door and it will open.

Room with gate:
The room has a gate, but not much you can do now, so find the small cave. Crawl through the cave and jump over the ramp. Kill several scorpions. Near the jeep, look for a lower ledge near the dog statue, climb up and go to the pool.

Pool:
Swim to the bottom and find some flares. Get some air, then enter the underwater tunnel. Swim straight ahead and then left to find the air hole. Save your game. Find the first Cartouche Piece in a recess near the air hole. Find the second Cartouche Piece in the tunnel that goes up and down (second tunnel on left from air hole). Get some air!! From the airhole, take a left, then swim around the outside loop until you find a tunnel that goes to the right. Follow this tunnel in a spiral until it ends. You will just make it. Secret #?. Pick up the Laser Sight. Swim back to the air hole and then back to the pool. Climb up on the ledge near the pool and jump back to the other side of the ledge. Return to the room with the gate. Combine the Cartouche Pieces and place them in the receptacle by the gate.

Hall with spike balls:
Wait for the spike ball on the left to roll down, then go up the center and then along the left wall. Jump over the spike pit in the floor.

Lever with timed door:
Save your game. Push the lever and do a jump grab to the ledge on the opposite side of the lever. Climb up and do a diagonal standing jump with grab to the ledge with the scorpion. Roll and take a long running jump with grab to the ledge by the gate. Climb up and enter the door before it closes. Shoot the ninja. Quickly run across the ledge that leads to the two tunnels with spike balls and enter the room with coffins.

Room with coffins:
Find the cave at ground level and jump in. Swim near the ceiling to avoid the underwater spikes.

Lara's Mansion:
Hmm, is Lara having a dream. It looks, it looks like Lara's mansion. Enter the lower hall on the left into the kitchen with tiles. Pick up crossbow ammo in the corner of the rooms. Push the lever to release the mummy and pick up the crossbow.

Practice room:
Jump across the room following the numbered platforms, 1, 2, 3,4, 5, 6, 7. Be sure to step on the block with each of the numbers. Return to the gated opening in the practice room and the gate should be open This will open the gate to the room with the pool.

Pool room:
Jump into the pool and pick up the Eye Piece at the bottom of the pool. Push the lever to turn off the fire in the library. Kill the scorpions. Do a standing jump with grab to a higher block in the practice room and continue across the practice room. You can monkey bar across the bricks and it looks like some goodies are above the monkey bars, but I couldn't find a way up. Save your game before returning to the main part of the mansion. Kill the three ninjas and go upstairs to the library.

Library:
Enter the fireplace and climb up and sideways. Light a flare and find a crawlspace in the corner of the room. Crawl in for Secret #? and pick up the revolver. Admire the lovely Hooters sign. Push the lever to open a door downstairs. Go back to the main part of the mansion.

Level on bottom floor:
Push the lever to open a timed door across the hall. Run and enter the door. Pick up the second eye piece Carefully swim back to the cave with the coffins, avoiding the underwater spikes.

Room with coffins:
Lava now flows through the room. Kill the ninjas, then enter the cave with the round door on one side of the room. Combine the eye pieces to form the Eye of Horus. Place the Eye of Horus in the receptacle to open the door. Drop down into the hole and slide down the ramp to end the level.

Addendum: The secret nš1 is in the room with the gate and the cartouche receptacle. When Lara enters there's a crawlspace behind the second fire to the left.
