Level by Francesco Venco.

Authorized Walkthrough by D&G Productions.

In this level you have the choice to use Save Crystals like in the TRI console version as the author states.

But you have the choice to use the normal savegame option in the start of the level, just save when this text comes up "Make a choice – Crystal or easy save."

I used the easy save system. I will not mention the crystals in this walkthrough, you’ll have to find them yourself if you use that option..

As soon as you leave the bridge the level continues in the Aegean Sea.

You cannot drown in this game…. You will have some weapons in your inventory, the Uzis and the Harpoon gun, also the Scion from Lara’s previous adventure.

You can do all of the following in random order.

Turn left from where you start and swim to that Big Structure SW which I’ll call Big Hall in this walk.

Turn right E and swim straight down to a vase, the First Lever is next to it and shows a trapdoor. Turn around, swim N and on a pillar to the right is the Second Lever. Turn left, swim N again and up to that corner ledge on the columns, on top is a Small Medipack.

The trapdoor closes behind you. Down to the W is Golden Key III, better turn around facing E and save before you pick it up as the Centurion will come alive. Start swimming E immediately and see 3 openings, two above and one down (with a lever) in the E wall, go into an upper one and find a lever in the back (behind the wall you are safe). This lever will raise a Timed block in front of the lever we have to do now so you will be out of sight of the Centurion Head.

Swim SE to the Big Hall.

Swim in and use the lever you see to the right, two doors open nearby, turn left and swim into the door in the corner, another lever is just around the corner and it will close the entrance door. Go out and use the same lever again to close the last two doors (they have to be closed to keep the water out as we are going to drain the first part of this place).

Swim down E and into the deep part of the bottom (big trapdoor below) in the SE corner is an open gate, go in and use the lever there to partially open the trapdoor. Go back out and the trapdoor closes again; climb out E as the room is now drained.

Inside is some Uzi ammo and up SW is an opening to a lever. A trapdoor opens up in the ceiling and the room will flood again. Swim out, up to the trapdoor NE and get the Silver Key there.

Swim back into the Big Hall through the hole in the roof.

Now use the underwater lever N, get back out thought the roof, down the N side and turn left to find an open gate near the NW corner. Go in and down, follow the tunnel and climb out in the end, save before you go to the door and enter.

Follow through to a sunken temple, go along the right hand side of the temple and find a lever on the wall, use it to open the entrance gate at the front of the building.

Save here, swim in and climb up, wait there till you can count 4 Harpies, because you have to shoot all 4 to open the next door. After you shot them the door N opens up. The pit in the middle of the room has a connection to a room with 4 Hydras we’ll have to defeat later, on the column is the next Golden Key we cannot get yet.

Walk up to the higher part of the rock and jump N to a crack in a pillar. Go around and use the jump lever there to open a gate N.

Swim N, right a bit and left around the rock to find the gate. Inside climb up to the right and find a lever which will raise a block behind you. Climb up and jump up to the floor above, jump across to the W side and find a push block in the SW corner wall. Pull out twice, pull it to the E twice and then push it N into the opening in the floor. You now have a solid way back up to this floor, drop down and go back to that floor lever. Use it again to lower the block on ground floor, but it will raise a block on the first floor (NW). Use the push block to climb back up and go to the new block in the NW corner to climb to the second floor. Jump to the E side and find some Flares NE.

Go out to the stairs and grab the Zip-line, drop on the battle floor and go into the pool first to grab a Small and a Large Medipack and 2x Harpoons.

Now save at the lever between the pools. When you use it the Hydras will come alive, all 4 of them at once.

There are some different tactics you can use to get through this:

Run to the middle of the floor, turn slightly left or right, so you’re not facing those creatures straight and start to roll while firing. It has no use to shoot when the Hydra has no fire in its mouth, so when Lara aims and you see no fire, roll and look for another victim.

You can also shoot the first two from the water with the harpoon gun, quite fast and safe I might add, because when close up you can harm them even when they don’t have fire in the mouth.

Now we have to destroy the place, in the pillars where the Hydras were are 4 push blocks, pull them from under the pillars and the roof of the temple will cave in, flooding the place. Swim through the hole in the ceiling (over the centre of the battle floor) to the temple and grab Golden Key II from the golden ledge. A couple of Hammerheads show up, so swim out through the roof and go along the ceiling of the cave to the S where you’ll find the tunnel back to the Sea.

Swim E to the Big Hall and by now a submarine joined the search for you. From the Big Hall swim N to the lamp post and left there into a large submerged staircase. One floor down you can find some Harpoons NE, then swim SW to find a lever, it opens the Timed gate down E (behind you, roll and start swimming during the view of the gate). Follow and around the second corner you have to time the spike traps. Save after those and swim along the surface through the next room as there are strong current traps trying to suck you down (or follow the path where plants are growing). Get the 2x Flares and go up into the next room. Pick up 2x Uzi ammo and time the sprint through the spikes.

There are two levers left and right, one stops the spikes and the other opens the gate to the Key Hall. NW is a vase with a Small Medi and on 3 of the walls you can use the Golden Keys, each key will produce 2 White Crystals on the pedestals in the middle of the room, pick up the 6 Crystals and a door opens N. Go in and hop down into the shaft.

Swim to the shore and go up to the Palace, in the wall to the left (W) is a push block. The lever on the wall to the right of the door is for later. Pull out the block and run down into the hole, swim a bit forward to get the Harpoons and quickly make it to the building N, get in and up to climb out, no need to kill the Sea Hags.

Go in NW and follow through to a slide down into a cave. Enter the next room and a flyby starts. Go to the right and two Horsemen appear, shoot them to get the 2 Discharged Crystals. Go NW and take a right along the N wall to find some Flares in front of a door you can push open.

Go in and up the ladder (right around a corner), time the flames and go up further. Backflip into a passage, open the door and go into the next room, shoot the 2 Harpies and go to a lever on the N wall. It will activate both ancient contraptions and you can now take the 2 Charged Crystals. Make your way back down that ladder (mind the flame), go left and the gate goes up, open the door and into the large room with the Atlantean Machine, climb the block next to the door and hop onto the higher block next to it. Now jump to the central pillar where you can see a receptacle for a Crystal. One of the Charged one goes here, turn around and hop to the ladder. Go up and off to the right, get over to the Flares SE and then get the Uzi ammo (the door S holds a Secret and will open later). Go W and turn towards the central pillar, hop down onto the ledge you see below to place the 2^nd Crystal. Hop to the ladder N and go down as far as possible on the right hand side and drop to the floor.

Climb up and go straight to that push block and pull it once, turn right and go into that passage to push the block there once. Look how those blades work and run after them, jump over that hole and climb up at the end. Climb up avoiding the blades and climb up to a small cave, get the Small Medipack and go down the crawlspace SW.

On the E side balcony is a trigger tile, brings out a Timed platform up in the NE corner. The way up is from the W balcony to the black rock NW and from there to the roof at the N side. On the first level balcony W is another trigger tile, bringing out a second Timed platform you need. The idea is to get up to the upper ledge E.

Roll, run out and roll again to grab the edge of the ledge as you fall off, drop to the balcony below, run N and drop to the ground floor. Run into the now open door N and get into the water. Dive down and use the underwater lever to change the layout of the Planetarium Room.

The Sun goes out the ceiling and it is night.

Night time Adventures to get the Sun Key.

Now we have to "get in touch" with each of the dark planets orbiting the Room.

Make your way back up to the NW rock, over to the roof at the N wall, stand SW and look down into the room to spot one of the dark planets orbiting below. Looks like you cannot get close to this one as it moves away from you when you get to the place where it almost touches the balcony. So I just jumped to it from the N roof (and got lucky?). You’ll get to a spot in the universe and you are forced to save, time the run through the spikes and the jump onto the higher ledge to get to a blue sphere, pick it up (not in inventory) and you’ll get to the white ball passage, run forward and you’ll get back to the Planetarium Room.

Planet 2, the Crystal Horse.

Make your way back up to the NW rock, over to the balcony at the E wall. Stand near the fence and as soon as that planet comes over, jump up to touch it.

You’ll be transported to a spot in the universe. You’ll be told to save too. Walk the tunnel to the gap in the floor and just run/or jump off to land on a lower ledge.

Go NE and spot the block with the spikes. Face W standing at the end of the path and turn slightly to the right so that you can side flip onto the spike block and immediately jump forward and grab the top of the tunnel.

The idea is that you should jump W through those swinging axes and shoot the ball hanging in that alcove W, but it is possible to shoot it from here with pistols (jump up and down).

When you step forward you’ll get back to the Planetarium Room.

First step on the trigger tile E to get out all the Timed platforms, this time they aren’t timed.

Make your way up to the E side upper ledge and just wait for the planet…

Save and run to the end of the passage, out right or left to a lower ledge and up the stairs to the opening N where you can already see the next sphere, but it takes some doing to get there.

Jump out sharp right to end up on a slanted ledge you can stand on, hop to the block E, then to the one N and down into the archway W. From there into the opening in the S wall and go right to a lever, which will bring out a rope near the sphere. Go back N to the opening, jump out right into the archway and this time there are spikes on the blocks, turn around standing with Lara’s left foot on the white line and back flip when the spikes are just up, side flip left and immediately hop forward. Jump over to the W side and follow those blocks there up to the top of the room. From there jump to the ledge with the safe crystal (NO Ctrl) and then to the rope under the big arch.

To get back to the rope, up to the highest block, then stand jump to the column W and to the S wall with the slanted ledge you can stand on. Over to the W side and the route up the blocks again to get to the rope.

Make your way up to the upper W side and stand on a corner waiting for the planet to touch you.

In the end of the passage you’ll see an island with obelisks.

Jump over to the island and stand SE to jump to a moving platform. Jump W to the arch and then to the next platform N, up and jump/grab to the beam S.

Inside a ball will fall down, climb up through the window next to the ball and push the ball down into the room. Go down after it.

Jump from the beam to the platform NW and then to the beam N, go in and left into the tunnel, follow up through a door and hear a ball fall when you enter, this one will be lost as it goes into a sloped passage. Go to the window W and move the push block till it rests in front of the sloped tunnel S, blocking it. Slide down the slope E and go into the passage S again, up to the previous room and a new ball will fall, stopped by the block you can now use this one and push it down the slope E. Go down after it.

Jump to the platform NE and then to the beam E. Up into the room and throw the lever NE to release the ball. Now move the ball onto the white marked tile to de-activate the Blade trap at the second lever. Use that lever to open the door again and push the ball down the slope. Go down after it.

Platform SE, beam S and into the room for the last ball.

On the middle of that E wall, under the ledge above, is a jump lever that will release the ball.

Hard to see, but the second block from the left (in the N wall) is a push block, get it out and over to the E wall so you can climb up and push the ball down. You’ll see the blue sphere descend to the island.

Go out to the beam; jump SW to the moving platform and then SW to the arch. E to the moving platform, jump off to the island and get the Blue sphere.

Run forward and the place changes again. You are now in the room where the Sun went. On the W wall is a button, use it to vaporize the sun so you can get the Sun Key.

Out you go (E) and through the opened gate, drop down in that passage.

Follow the passage and open the doors on the left, this is a shortcut back to the Atlantean Machine.

Go SE to the end of the passage to pick up the Golden Tablet, you’ll see a gate open up.

The Tablet has symbols on it and reads:

One was the Fire… In three it was divided… By six it can be reunited.

Go straight out S and up the steps to the Hall. Enter the opened gate W and come to the Iron Key room (has to be used here later). We’ll be back here, for now go out right (N) into the Room with the Balconies. Shoot the Horseman and climb the block NE, jump onto the balcony and turn right, climb the broken pillar there. Looking W you can spot a jump lever, line up and jump around that lamp on the ceiling to get to the lever. A gate opened N, go through and around the corner is a trap, this one not too hard. Stand at the edge, time the spikes and stand jump over the pit to land when the spikes are down, keep running and jump over the second pit.

You’ll enter the Stairs Room, we’ll be back through this room some times, this time take the lower stairs down to the Horseman Room.

There are 6 horses and 4 doors, first go to a button located NW on the N wall. Two of the horsemen will come out, if you’re fast enough and shoot them before they reach the horse, they will stay on the floor and are easier to kill. If on the horse, hop backwards while facing the horse and stay on the side where the Axe is. As long as you hear the horseman grunt you’re doing ok. When he falls from the horse hop backwards and shoot him.

Safety drop down into the room and get a Torch. Go S to the stairs room, through the open door SE, this is the way back to the Room with the Balconies. Jump over the trap and go S to the Iron Key room, out left to the Hall and out S to the front of the Palace. Ignite the Torch on one of the bowls and go back inside, left to the Iron Key room and N to the Room with the Balconies. Jump with the Torch on the lower block E, then to the block NE and onto the balcony, go to the SE corner and ignite the #1 bowl. Go back N and onto the high block from which you got to the jump lever, this time just jump to the other side balcony and go SW to ignite the #2 bowl. Pick up the Small Medipack nearby and make your way down to the ground floor with the Torch.

Go N to the Horseman Room, jump on the throne W and then to each of the bowls on the side to ignite them. The Iron Key appears on the Throne, pick it up.

Leave the Torch here and return S to the Iron Key room. Find the crack in the S wall and go right to the pillar. From the highest part, jump over to the crack N and shimmy right to an alcove. Jump out SE onto that white arch and from there over to the arch W, hop to the Keyhole W and stand in a corner to shoot the Harpies. Use the Key to open a gate below and hop back to get the Uzi ammo from the grey arch. Drop down to the balcony below to get the Small Medipack, Flares and Uzi ammo. Hop down to the ground floor and go through the gate W, open the doors.

Go all the way S and up the stairs, open the doors and shoot 2 horsemen and a Harpy. Find a Small Medipack SW, 2x Uzi ammo SE and W.

The gate opens SE, open the doors in the passage.

In the next room is a column that is partially dismantled. To reconstruct it, we need a clue. The "E" symbol will not count here, as it will stay in place, the only column in the previous room without the E symbol is the NW one. The order from top to bottom should be N-Y-P-O.

Start by climbing that little bridge left of the column, inside is a Timed trigger tile to extinguish the flames in the room (in a crack, and under two of the puzzle pieces).

Run out and W of the column to get behind the O piece, push it out and sideflip left. Pull the piece in front of the column, onto the raising block. Back up the bridge to the Flame trigger and now jump over the fence to the left to get behind the Y piece in the S wall, push it out. Move it to the W and left into the alcove.

Y piece SW and push it onto the raising block in the back of that alcove.

Go N to the front of the column and onto the raising block with the O piece and push it into place on top of the E.

Climb from the raising block up to the level where the N piece is (this one is for the top level) and push it all the way to the S into the passage and left onto the raising block. Climb up one level on the grated floor where the P is and move it onto the raising block SE.

Make your way down to the ground floor and use the lever; the 3 pieces will move up/down. Then go to the trigger tile for the flames (bridge E) and run NW of the column where you’ll find a crack in the W wall, grab up and go left to the floor before the flames start again.

Get the P and move it into place.

Take the Y piece from the alcove W (on this floor) and move it onto the lowered block E.

Climb up two levels (top level) and go get the N from the passage S, move it N to the column.

Make your way back N through the room with the face and out N to the Cave of Light where the beam hits the central prism on the fountain. This beam has to eventually go into the building W of the Cave.

Follow the light up the steps E to an obelisk with a prism on top.

Turn the obelisk so the beam will hit the Crystal on the S wall (push handle to the S), the gates N and S will open up.

Go into the gate N and up the pole, go up to the blade as close as you can and back flip off onto the floor above, shoot the Horseman. Push the button in the E passage and a block lowers to the Room with the Balconies.

Back down and turn the obelisk so the beam goes N into the window. Don’t mind the other obelisk in the S room for now.

By this time the room with all the crystal receptacles (Atlantean Machine) is activated as the light beam is directed to it.

Head back E through the door, left into the Iron Key room and let to the room with the balconies, N into the passage with the trap, jump over and go up the stairs where you’ll find an opened door to the left (W).

Inside are 3 levers, maybe this is a bit strange, but I first pulled them all down and raised the one in the middle again, the result was different that when I did the left and right lever only. So from left to right they should be Down/Up/Down, the mirrors on the wall of the Horseman room should be straight up and the door W opens up.

Hop backwards in the hole grabbing the edge. Run left along the wall into the first part of the lower floor (safe) and jump a bit to the right over the spike trap. The next room has 3 Spike balls in the ceiling, watch where you walk! Go out E.

Back through the trap E, to the Iron Key room S and W to the Cave of Light. Now we have to open the trapdoor in the pool, bit unclear how this should be done…

Swim down, throw the lever there to turn the prism on the fountain, the light should now go into the W building.

Inside is another obelisk, turning it will direct the beam to the crystals over coloured pedestals, activating it. When you climb the pedestal you’ll get a message:

The Crystals in the backpack are vibrating.

Place a white crystal (you have to choose it from your inventory) and it will take on the colour of the pedestal.

You have to make 6 different colours:

Red/Orange/Yellow/Green/Blue/Violet.

Easiest way without a lot of turning the beam:

Turn the beam to the Red side and use 3 White crystals on the Red side and get 3 x Red.

Turn the beam to the Blue side and use 2 Whites to make 2 Blue, while you’re here also put in one of the Reds to get Violet.

Turn the beam to Yellow, use the last White to get a Yellow.

Put in a Red to get Orange and then put in one Blue to get Green. Now you have the 6 colours.

Making a mistake will turn the crystal back into a white one. The Clue to this was on the Gold Tablet and the signs over the pedestals (thanks Jose).

Go out of the room, E out of the cave and straight through the Iron Key room to the Hall. Go N into the passage where you got the Gold Tablet and keep right. In the back is the door to the Atlantean Machine, you may have opened it already to get that Secret upstairs.

So N is Violet, S is Yellow, W left is Green, W right is Blue, E left is Red, E right is Orange. Watch the cutscene and go to the Activated Scion over the trapdoor that went up again and grab the Fire of the Gods.

You will drop down again, go to the pool where the gate now opened.

Swim up the long tunnel to end this adventure.
