TR1 - THE FENICIAN TEMPLE 1 by TURBO PASCAL
WALKTHROUGH BY VIRUS
INSIDE
Here's a walkthrough for
this wonderful level. One thing, though, Torry got 15 kills and 13 pickups but
I got 16 kills and 12 pickups.
In the very beginning
you drop down into a room with a door and a switch that opens it, but is too
high up to reach. Notice the moveable block next to the door. Pull it to climb
up and pull the switch.
Enter the next room and draw pistols, as there are six gorillas in this place.
One will charge at you immediately after you enter, the second is up on the
slope and the rest are in the spiked area. After you dispatch them, move up the
slope to the area with the collapsible floor tiles. A good way to deal with
them is to take a step back and hop over the first one. Keep running and climb
on the platform with the key. Pick it up and take a running jump onto the
collapsible tile.
After you’re back on solid ground, head for the spiked area. Walk through it
and use the key to open the door. Draw weapons and charge in firing, because
Pierre is waiting for you inside. He’ll go away after a few shots, though.
After Pierre's gone, turn to the moveable block in the left corner of the room.
Don’t bother with the Magnum clips scattered on the floor because you can’t
pick them up. Push the moveable block towards the spiked area and stop when it’s
directly underneath the collapsible tile. Head back to the slope and when you
reach the top, pick up the small medipack. Take a running jump to the
collapsible tile, grab it edge and pull up. Now either run and climb up to the
alcove or simply hop forward and grab the key. Safety drop to the block below
and jump to the door, using the key you just got. Traverse through the
corridors till you reach the opening. The camera angle will change briefly, showing
you the next place where you need to go: the alcove in the wall, containing a
switch that opens the door on the other side of the room Now this part is a bit
tricky. Walk to the edge and turn Lara, so that she’s facing the left wall. She
should not be looking straight at it, but a little bit to the left. Now execute
a right flip, a forward jump and a left flip to land in the alcove. Throw the
switch and turn to the opening. Take a running jump to the platform on the left
and press Control in mid-air: this way Lara won’t lose any blood when she
lands. Climb up and go to the end of the platform. Take a running jump and pull
up to the door you just opened.
Draw pistols and kill the lion that’s charging at you. In the center of the
room there’s a pool with four crocodiles that are guarding underwater doors.
Take out the first two when you near the pool. Go on the other side of the room
to pick up the Magnums, three pairs of Magnum clips and one small medipack.
Dive in the pool and collect the key from the floor. While you’re at it, swim
to the two crocodiles to draw their attention. Surface and swim to the edge
with the two keyholes. Kill the crocodiles and use the golden key in the golden
lock. This opens one of the doors in the pool. Dive back down and traverse
through the underwater passages, swimming low to avoid a giant rat that’s
lurking there. Surface into the next room, to be greeted by a moveable block
puzzle.
Notice the block to the right: right now you can neither push nor pull it, so
head to the passage on the left and pull the block there twice. Head back to
the main room and to the other block. Push it twice and them push it once more,
so that it goes into the opening in the wall. There is a new passage in this
room and another block that you have to move. Pull it till it won’t go any
further. Turn its other side and pull it once more to reveal another passage.
Run through it and enter the next room. Keep running straight towards the
higher block because there are four lions hot on your heels. A few running
jumps should get you there where you can dispatch them from a safe distance.
Drop down and head for the switch that’s in the far corner of the room. This
would be a good spot to save your game.
The switch opens the door above, but it is timed and you need to follow my
directions spot on to get this to work. Now there might be another way to reach
the door in time, but I haven’t discovered it. Pull the switch and immediately
press the look button, so that you can save a valuable second. Turn Lara
slightly to the right and start running and then immediately switch to a
running jump. After Lara’s made one, press shift to execute a diving roll. By
now you should be next to the far wall. If you’ve aligned Lara properly, she’d
be able to side flip to the left. Immediately press roll and then forward jump.
Start running and press jump again after 4 steps and grab hold of the edge.
Pull up and roll for good measure. The door should close after one or two
seconds. Pick up the key and drop down. Backtrack to the previous room and drop
into the water once again. Swim to the main room, surface, and use the silver
key in the silver keyhole. This opens the other underwater door. Drop into the
pool once again and swim through the door. Stay low to avoid the rat. Surface
and climb out into a room with differently- colored tiles. Go as far to the
right as you can and jump over the bright green tile onto a tile with face of
some sort. Look around and spot another tile diagonally to the one you’re
standing on that looks exactly the same. Be careful when jumping, because even
touching the rim of a different tile would kill Lara. Look forward and notice a
pinkish tile with a yellow ankh on it. Jump to it. From there turn right and
locate two identical tiles: green with a black rhombus in the centre. Jump to
the closer one. From there walk over onto the pink tile with the ankh and jump
back to give Lara a running start. Execute a forward dive to land safely on the
other side. Go and pick up the key from the block. Backtrack to the main room
to use the key in the rusty keyhole on the opposite side of the main room.
Enter the door to finish this excellent level.
