Cutscene:

Lara: Finally everything is set up to get the last one of the twin crystals.

Cindy, I'll meet you upstairs where the switch to this room is. Jean, do not leave the crystals alone. Wish me luck.

Go back to the room where you had your conversation and now go S through the opening in the transparent wall, follow through and right go around the corners to where you see the treasury S. There is a chest (N wall) with Flares in it. A bit further you’ll find a busted up crate with a Medipack. Go back and E into the Garage, pick up the Pistols and ammo and Jeep Keys from the pedestal in the corner. Turn around and find a jump lever behind the door (SW) to open the treasury.

Follow the winding passage to the next room, go to the wall and push the button. Shoot everything in sight and get another Echobot Trainer and 2x Small Medipack the robots leave behind. Use the Trainer on the N wall; a door opens to the control room.

Make your way back to the living room (SW) then S again and to the left and left again to the control room.

Once on the ground floor go through the opening W and the open gate is NW near a crate. Better light a flare and climb the pole, turn and back flip. Go S and jump on the top of the tent like structure. Go to the S wall and use the wooden roof to shimmy to the left.

Once inside go to the courtyard straight ahead and climb the crate to the right, from there jump to the pillar with the pink glass. Turn right and climb up E. Go along the S side to the far W wall, find a ladder there on the SW ledge, climb the wall. Jump E over the hanging plants and to ledge in front of the jump lever at the end.

Now you can jump in the pool downstairs and swim through the open crawlspace S. Keep swimming to the right and get out in a back street. Go E and climb the crates on the left. Turn SW and jump to the awning, then S and again a running jump to the top of the awning W (no Ctrl) and another jump W. Light a flare to spot the crack in the N wall and jump there, shimmy to the right and pull up. Grab up E and turn SW to jump onto the balcony.

Pick up the Flares and find the trapdoor in the floor. Face S to open it, get down and use the lever to open a door on a balcony we will get to later. Open the doors E and step onto the balcony. A warrior will show up.

Lara can’t use her guns here.

Now enter the Hotel Lobby W, go upstairs and right to the NE. Open Cindy’s room, the last room on the left.

Cindy: Lara! Finally. I was so scared, when I spotted that things went completely out of control.

Lara: Yes, luckily Kurtis got there just in time.

Cindy: Pull the jump switch on the right and follow me to the basement. Jean is already waiting for us.

Go down to the ground floor of the hotel and to the NW corner where Cindy went through that lowered wall. You are back to where to where this all started; you can claim another Large Medipack and Flares from the chest near the treasury.

Get back to the living room where all your friends are waiting for you to place the Topaz Crystal on the pedestal in front of the fireplace

Kurtis comes running in: Just in time!

Lara: Yes you were, thanks, I owe you.

What is this? It looks so familiar, this crystal.

So these are now all powers combined? I wonder where I saw this crystal already...

I will try to pick it up.

Grab the Strange Crystal which appeared above the pedestal

Lara: I know where I saw it. It was a long, long time ago. Cindy, do you remember when we were classmates in school...?

And the level changes to a trip down memory lane.

Once inside open the cupboard on the right for a Small Medipack.
Go in and to those double doors to the right (E wall), push them open and go in to get the Flares from the bathroom. Go out and to the N, follow the corridor around the corner and go left up the stairs in the end.

Go back to the Dormitory again and go all the way up the two stairs, open the first doors to the right to get a Medipack from the bathroom. The second door to the right has Flares in the bathroom. Then go open Lara’s room E side of the corridor and go to the desk and do some homework.

Drop down and jump over the crates SE and find the door you opened from the headmaster’s office. Follow through, at one point you see the guard going into his office. Go on and up a long ladder on top of the crates at the end. Jump over to the S and follow through. Boy did those boys make a mess…
Follow around the corner and in the corridor on the left the entrance door will open up, ignore that and go to the end of the corridor. There’s a grated trapdoor with a green glow, that’s for later!

Head up the broken staircase N to the first floor, go right (W) and around the corner open the second door on the left. Go in and right, through a small opening there, go right again, through a small crawlspace. The camera is fixed so carefully walk E, turn around at the end and climb down a ladder.

The Secret Armour Helmet

Just slide all the way down the slopes and pick up some Flares. Jump up the blocks NE and at the end turn around, climb a short ladder and then another one and back flip at the top. Face E and safety drop, grabbing the edge, drop and grab a crack (there will be a secret in this crack later) and then drop to use the jump lever (cage goes up). Climb up to the top again and face E again, save your game. Jump down (E) and slide and just before the corner (with the high ceiling), jump up and grab a crack. Shimmy to the left and pull up in a room where you uncovered a chain.

Pull the chain and go back to the slide, slide down all the way. The gate W is now open.

Jump over to the S and grab that roof, drop and walk around (S), climb the block to get the Musket ammo. Hop down from the block and go over to the central ledge of this cave. Go to the entrance N where you'll find two buttons N.

Now you can make the choice between Hard and Easy.

In the Hard version you can obtain the Musket, will make the rest of the level somewhat easier, certainly worthwhile to try this part.

Go inside and just follow through to where you'll get a message:

The Crypt Extra Challenge (for experienced players)

This level is an alternative way to get one of the Overflowing Energy Crystals, for the experienced players.

Go forward and watch the flyby.

Go down the steps and take a right and another right (SE). Jump in the water, swim W, around the corner swim straight (N) left and right at the end you can get a Medipack and Flares. Swim back (S) and now take the first on the right (W).

Follow through, keep to the right and near a gate, swim up for a breathing hole. Get air and dive, go back and take a right (W) and swim to the end and up. OR if you have enough air, swim sort of straight and up. Climb out E and turn around, Jump to the ladder over the pool and use the reach-in switch.

Get back down, get in the water swim back and take a left, through the open gate and swim up. Be careful, a ceiling covered with swords is moving up and down. Get out facing S first, timing the swords and use the reach-in holes left and right. Then run to the other side and do the same. A trapdoor (N wall) opens.

Face W and safety drop and grab the edge, let go and grab, crawl into a crawlspace. At the end be careful and time the moving swords to go left (S), run into the alcove with the lever and wait for the right moment to use the lever there. Time the swords again to get back at the entrance and from there to the right (N) through the open gate. To the right (E) in the back you can pick up Flares.

Go back and N up the steps and to the right there, jump in the water, swim straight and get out.

Go down the steps and kill two knights in the next room. All the way up is a huge chandelier. Go between the 4 columns and there is a ladder on the SE one, so climb up.

Go further and get a small medipack from a reach-in hole on the left.

Continue up the ramp to the next room. There are three floor levers and the only one you can use is the W one. In the room with the poles, take a right and follow the ledge to the NW corner. Stand N and face the poles, stand back and run jump to grab the first and swing to the next and to the block at the wall. Jump over to the other side of the roof and then a stand jump E to grab the ledge. Pull the lever to open a gate W and jump back over the block to the W side. Then take a running jump N and use the reach-in switch, two gates open up. Jump back to the ledge S and after entering go left and into a crawlspace E.

You can use the ladder on the E wall or just slide down the slanted blocks. Wade through the water and take a right. There is a jump lever in the back on the right. Use and do not jump away but just wait till the swords are down, and walk out towards the ladder and start climbing to the top. Climb off right and go back to the hole with the push block below, face E hang down in the opening and left in the corner to drop on the block. Go E and left, through the crawlspace to the room.

Bring out the Pole.

Go into the passage N and near the fence is a jump lever on the right. You’ll get a camera shot of a swing pole. So retrace your steps to the room with the chain, drop back from the floor and grab the floor below, go around picking up 2x Musket ammo and run down onto the block with the pole.

Exit this place N and at the pool jump to the block on the right and then to the pole. Swing and let go, you’ll slide into the water (NW). Dive down and through the opening at the bottom and then swim up. Climb out and go left and pull up onto a higher ledge N. Turn W and a curved running jump to the crack and pull up.

Go up some steps and at the end, don’t fall into the hole in the floor but go left (E) and around the corner there through the opening in the fence and get Flares and Musket ammo. Back to where you came in and drop down the hole in the ground. You're back in the room with the poles.

Use it and the spikes reverse their sequence so you can get back to the sloped passage. Will be easier later too as you will return here. Get back around left to the sloped passage.

Just slide down, take a running jump E and run jump SW to the corner ledge, turn S and jump to the next ledge. Climb up S and go to the E end. Then take a running jump to the ledge you see down E (S wall) slide back and grab the edge and shimmy left and at the highest point pull up. Turn around and another running jump to the crack and shimmy to the right and pull up around the corner.

Another jump to the SE and from there, jump to the ramp E. Walk up a bit and jump to the right of the ramp. Go left around to the end of that ramp, climb it and turn N. Stand as straight as possible and jump grab the ladder over the crack so you can climb up.

A knight wakes up, jump to the pillar left and get the small medipack. Lure the knight to the 3 big vases that hide a chain and let him shatter the vases so you can pull all three chains, opening all kind of gates. S opens a gate in the room with the swing poles, N will raise the cage in the 3 Levers room, E opens the gate W. Leave through the open gate W and to the pedestal in the middle to get the First Cog.
Be sure NOT pick up the key as that will kill you.

Go back for air and then swim in again.

Swim straight and to the left, use the timed underwater lever, then swim back out and through the opposite gate (N). Use the underwater ceiling lever (between the pillars) and see a lever reset, swim out. Get air and go back in to get 2x Musket ammo in the back corners. Climb out (E) and go back up to the 3 Lever room.

Now push the lever N, and go in, into the water. Swim S to the far end and use the underwater lever. Swim back, mind the swords and pull up, back flip and jump/grab the chain and climb up. Find the correct position to back flip and roll (when facing N) back into the entrance and now you can get the Golden Key, a gate opens up in the spike passage where you used the reach in switch. Go to the Swing poles room W, take a right into the passage NE, time the spikes, you now have safe spots in between the spikes. Keep left and to the end where you can enter the passage to the Room with the Big Chandelier.

Get down to the ground floor and use the Golden Key W, enter and swim down. Use the lever to open the door and swim up, pull up W and back flip to the floor, or just climb up E. Pull the lever and watch the flyby. Go over the balcony to the corridor SE, up the stairs, take a right and come to the open gate in the end.

To the right is a swing pole, use it to get to the S walkway and head left, at the end straight down the stairs and left around the corner, down more stairs and left again, just around the left corner into a corridor (S). Follow that corridor into the open gates, in the next room is a Pit.

Shoot the 2 knights and collect the 2x Musket ammo, NW and NE. Go down the ramp in the pit and hit the water, swim E with the current and in the next room climb into the upper passage N. Grab the Flares and go E to the next room and up some steps to get the First Explosive Materia.

You’re back in the Pit.

The Elemental Emblem..

Take the corridor NE and up the stairs and go left into the passage S where you’ll find that push block. Pull it once towards the gate and climb it. Turn SW and jump forward and up to grab the monkey climb. The monkey climb is open; there are still two open trapdoors you need to close. Swing to the corner and left into the dark alcove, go to the reach-in hole and I advise to light a flare first, then save before you get the Elemental Emblem. While the flyby is playing, an Ice wraith shows up, so when you get control back, roll and crawl back, to the right into the opening, follow the cave to the end and climb up to the right. In the end face W before you go down the hole in the grated floor and land in the Pit. Swim into the opening W and use the underwater lever there to freeze the water.

The water will now be stone cold, so dangerous… Quickly roll and swim straight E and left, into the passage (N) and right through the small gate. Take the first right and now you can pass over that burner tile S, up in the next room and climb out N. Go down W and grab the ladder on the N wall, get down into the room you saw in the long flyby. On the grated ledge and E is a bent pipe, pull it from the wall and turn around, you can now safely get the Second Explosive Materia from the hole W.

Back to the pipe and move it onto the flame N, time the flame (screen of a tunnel). Hop back immediately just to be sure and now you can use the lever behind the pipe. A block lowers in the SE side of the room, go there and move the pipe you find there W onto the lowered block. Use the lever again to raise the pipe and go push it onto the flame. Flame is diverted and a ledge upstairs becomes safe, the red tile in the underwater tunnel will also be safe (for later when the ice is gone).

Go up the ladder NW and get off to the right. Go out S and crawl down into the water. Go up in the SE corner and climb the block next to you (this was burning before). Here’s something new; jump and grab that chain pulley in the room and a pillar goes up, creating a new block in this room. Climb back up, jump to the block and climb up through the ceiling.

You’re back in the Pit. Go get the Third Explosive Materia and go onto the ice (already melting).

Crawl E through the passage and use the lever (S) in the next room, two trapdoors slide into place at the monkey climb. Crawl back to the Pit, go up and into the NE corridor, left twice when you are upstairs and to the balcony with the push block, jump to grab the monkey climb. Go all the way to the other end and hang left or right and at the swing pole, drop and grab the crawlspace and get in. Light a flare and grab the Second Elemental Emblem from the reach-in hole.

A Fire wraith appears, run left and you are in the top of the Main Hall. Jump left to the bridge in the middle of the Hall and run E and into the opening E, hop up the higher floor and drop through the hole in the ground into the blue cave. Turn and run S, climb up right in the end and once again face W before you go down the hole in the grated floor and land in the Pit. Swim into the opening W and use the "red" underwater lever (not really necessary).

Leave NE into the corridor, upstairs go straight W this time and take a right just between those fences. You’re back in the Room with the Big Chandelier.

Hanging in each corner there is a counterweight ball, use the Explosive Materia in the alcove near one NE (E wall). The big chandelier will lower a bit. Go to the NW corner and use the next Explosive Materia in the alcove.

Go to the now open gate S and climb one level down the ladder shaft there, now do the SE and SW counterweights. You'll get a screenshot of gates closing and opening up; the ladder shaft S will now lead up to the top floor.

Go to an open gate NE, follow the steps up to the top floor.

Go into the ladder shaft S and climb all the way up into the room above. Go N and find a whole lot of Torches there, pick one up and drop it on that trapdoor in the middle (over the Chandelier).

Go to the other side and into the adjoining room (N) where you’ll find a Timed lever, opening up the trapdoor over the chandelier so the Torch drops on top of the Chandelier (make sure). Go into one of the openings N and push the block once, you’ll end up in a passage leading to the Chandelier.

Now we have to get all the way back again to the Main Hall.

Enter the passage SE next to that big wheel, into the water and follow the tunnel. Take a right and in the larger room in the end, climb out NW, go up to get onto the monkey climb and go to the ledge E where you can place one of the Cogs (a bit to the left on the fence).

The wheels are activated.

Into the water, swim all the way W through the tunnels to get to another room where you can climb out (you were here at the start of the level). Climb the E wall, to the crack, back flip to a slope, jump again to grab above the crack and go up. Use the second Cog activating these wheels too. Watch the flyby, get down and swim back to the central tunnel, go right and back up to where you came into the water. Climb out S, roll and jump to the N side to get to the Main Hall. In the passage in the SW corner of the Main Hall some debris fell down, get in go all the way to the end and jump up on the left and up.

Climb the suspended ledges N to get to the Overflowing Energy Crystal #1 and go climb up the next ledges. Grab up to the last one under the bridge and shimmy around, go to the N wall to climb up to the bridge. Go to the other end; use the lever to open the gate to the Crystal Cave.

Go get the small medipack on the bridge and you can place the Crystal if you please. We'll have to go back to the Hard Easy buttons, so go to the W side of the bridge and look down left to spot the slanted block with the jump lever you used before. Jump there again, drop down (W) and jump down onto the slope you see N. Jump to the central ledge and make your way to the N side bridge.

Go out and jump E, use the slopes W again to get one floor up. Go E and jump N again, once more shimmy to the highest point, back flip/roll to grab the ladder and climb up but now go around to the right, back flip/roll and grab another ladder, shimmy left and climb into an alcove where you just opened a gate. Jump N in the corner and climb higher on the right. Look SE to spot an alcove in the E wall, opposite the spikes and that is where you have to go.

Take the same route to the first pillar and then aim for the corner of the SE pillar to grab it with a running jump with a curve (Savegame.8). Face N on the highest tip and take a jump to the ladder (if Lara is hesitant to climb, shimmy once right) and climb up. Watch out for the blades and almost at the top, back flip and use the wheel to lower some spikes. No way you can get that Medipack, so get down again (just hop in backwards) landing in the water and get out.

Go out of the room (S wall) and crawl through, hang and shimmy left till you can pull up into that alcove opposite the spikes. Use the monkey climb to get to the other side, drop on the flat ledge in the alcove and use the crack N to shimmy all the way to the N side of this room.

Go up some steps and go straight. In the first room are 2 blue crystals in a cage. In the second room you’ll find a closed gate with a third Crystal and a boulder in the ceiling.

To unlock a Secret you have to trigger the three symbol tiles in the openings between room 1 and 2.

Jump on/over the block under the boulder and jump off immediately to trigger the boulder to drop.

Lara: "I could try pushing that round rock".

Wait with pushing until the boulder comes to a complete stop, as the boulder can kill Lara. In the openings to the previous room (S) are 3 symbol tiles; we’ll have to trigger two of them with this boulder.

Now push the boulder S and out of the room onto the ramp to the hall, as the boulder hits the symbol tile ground floor, you’ll get a screen of a gate. Go to the pillar S (near the zip line) and jump on top and use the zip line to get to the bridge.

Go to the left ledge and jump over to the steps S and go straight inside. First jump around the left or right over the ledges to get that small medipack S. Then jump to the chain and slide down until you hit water, or just jump down into the water. Find an underwater lever on the S wall and the water will drain. Go N to the boulder.

Once you are on top, push the boulder that came up with you out N so it will drop down onto a symbol tile in the hall. A gate will open up at the bridge.

Now… for that second boulder you saw falling down… Climb up to the zip-line on this side and descend to the bridge. Then take a running jump N to the floor where the first boulder rolled down. Go straight (N) and find the boulder near the third Gem.

Push it into the room S through the only opening you didn’t use yet (the side where the Crystal isn’t blinking yet). The crystal starts blinking and an underwater door will open up. Run down the slope S and drop down SW next to the zip line, landing on the block below. Make your way down all the way to the ledge leading to the cave entrance NE. Go out E and look for that crawlspace in the N wall you saw when you got here first. Go through and drop in the hole in the floor to pick up a small medipack.

Get up onto pillar and use the zip line again, jump off on the bridge in the middle.

When they are gone as well go to the W wall and jump up, climb higher and jump to the monkey climb to go to the other side and drop off left or right.

Then jump into the opening there, then jump up and grab the climbable wall (don’t climb up), just back flip. In the Hydra room, shoot the vase for Flares. Look up over that bridge and spot the opening in the ceiling. It’s a looong climb there.

But first we have to find and use three levers.

Look N, then jump to the climbable pillar hanging near the N wall, go left around one corner and make your way from pillar to pillar till you can back flip into an opening W. Here is lever # 1 and then go left through the opening and use lever # 2.

Running jump to the E and shimmy around to the other side, climb up a bit and back flip/roll to grab the next. Shimmy left around two corners, climb up once and back flop/roll and grab the edge. Climb in and use lever # 3. Take a running jump out, shimmy to the right and back flip to end up on the bridge.

Crawl out and climb down as far as, drop and end up on the bridge again. Go the pole (face W) and climb up again and at the top back flip into the passage. Go E and turn around and climb down. In the N you can pick up some Musket Ammo.

DO NOT touch the lever you see S but instead jump to the other side of the hall (E) from the second opening (no burner). Use the lever you find N in that passage. Jump back to the other side of the hall from the second opening and now you can use the lever S. Last time you have to jump to the other side, this time there is only one trapdoor left so time the flame emitter under the ledge E, roll as soon as you are on the ledge.

Go S a bit and climb the wall (E) and at the top back flip. Follow the passage and jump down. Face W and use a lever there. Now walk over the tight rope. You are back at the Crystal Cave where it all started.

Use the Crystal(s) you have and a Sword appears on the crossing of the bridge.

Go pull Lemorak's Sword from the central stone and head out E, place the Sword on the statue there and drop into the room below, drop down either side and climb onto the bridge over the pool, shoot the snake.

Go to that nice shiny object behind the Tomb W and grab it, it is the Summon Lemorak. The whole place will flood, watch the flyby as it will show you where you can leave. Swim up through the nearby trapdoor and all the way up in the cave is an air pocket.

Pick up the Torch, go out to the room with the Tomb. Ignite it on the wall torch, then set fire to the other two wall torches S. Throw away the Torch and go inside to get the Blizzard Materia.

Climb out the N side and safety drop to the floor, go to the W wall to climb up so you can walk back through the cave to the outside. Use the Summon Lemorak on the Stele there and the level ends with a flyby, Lemorak will make Arthur's Castle reappear.

Go back N again and look up to see a broken bridge near that tree. E of that bridge is a building. Go to the right and E along the building, meet a spider and just past the tree and in the passage SE is another crawlspace. In the back is a TIMED lever. Leave it for now. First get yourself familiar with the lay out of this place and gather some supplies.

Go out and N, the next passage to the right (E) has a Heal Potion, keep going around the building and looking around you'll catch some Musket ammo in the NE corner of this place, Light Potion somewhere along the N wall.

Go back to the broken bridge, stand on that hill under the bridge, facing W; jump up and get onto the bridge. You’ll see a burning scone E. That will be off when you use the timed lever.

Detour for a Secret:

Get back to the far SE corner of this place and into the crawlspace with the Timed lever.

Lower down, shoot the spiders and use the floor lever that is hidden in the plant (stand on the face tile in the pool), a gate opens. Climb up the blocks in the corner and jump SW into the windowsill.

Look left (SE) and run-jump grab the slanted block, hang left and pull up over, slide jump left to the next block. Jump again and grab the wall in front, shimmy right to the flat part and get up.

Jump N one more ledge and in the E wall is the gate you opened. In case you want some more Musket ammo, jump the pillars and walls to the NW (on a wall along the N side) where you will find one box. Get back to the pillar at the open gate and jump in there, just take a few steps, watch the flyby. It seems we need 2 Keys here.

Go forwards and open the trapdoor. Get down and find the Monoculars as a hint. Do NOT get into the water, but use the binoculars and look straight W, shoot the ball there, jumping up and down does the trick fine.

Turn around and find a rope has lowered. Run out to the left onto the ledge, grab the Crossbow and from there a running jump to the rope. Swing to the ledge on the opposite side under the bridge (where the vines are) and hop around the corner to the one NE (The vines on the bridge are climbable, but no need to go up there yet). Look NE and spot that grate up in the wall. Shoot it with the crossbow and Monocular (Laser Sight).

Do a curved running jump to grab the first breakable platform near by (SE), shimmy around to line up for the jump to the next N. Pull up, and stand jump into the opening where the grate was. Find some Musket ammo to the right in the last alcove.

Go back out and hop on the new block in the middle of the yard, face N and in the left corner, grab up to the monkey climb above. Go to the jump lever and operate it to open a gate in the E wall. Now go into the right hand opening in the N wall and push the block N once, get a Torch there and head back out.

The next part is a preparation for a Secret:

Jump to the hanging platform and jump back to the ramp and to the right towards into the glass window E again. Ignite the wall torch there and see a block go down.

Take the Torch with you and hop back onto the boulder ramp like before.

Enter and go up the steps, through the gates that will open up and to the right is a small gate, it is a Timed gate (behind the gate is the vase. Go left (S) and right around the corner is a trigger tile. This is for a block later. Go W and to the right around the corner is some Musket ammo. A bit further W is a block with a lever on top and at the end to the right around the corner (notice that small crack near the floor), pick up the Musket ammo and go back to the block with the Timed lever.

Go out and head W till another block on the right lowers, go in there and N through the next lowered block. Right around the corner is the second lever and the block you saw before will go down.

Go back (through the lowering block) to the crossing and take a left (E), in the end is the lowered block. Go left (N) and use the jump lever in the end, you’ll hear a block lowering and see a gate opening up.

Turn around and go into the first right (S), keep going straight S and pick up Musket ammo all the way at the end.

Go out, straight onto the bridge and drop into the pool below. Go into the now open gates N and to a hall with Arthur’s wall carpet.

Go up the stairs left (W) and at the end left. A flyby kicks in, look in the mirror for the “deadly” tiles, as they are the safe ones (the fierce looking red tiles). Once on the other side look again in the mirror which tile will be safe.

Ok here we go, the first tile to jump to is left of the red tile on the right (SW), stand way back in the corner and take a running jump SE on the tile just in front of the red tile. Then jump to the tile behind the red tile E.

Turn SW and jump to the tile behind the pillar, keep SW and jump over the red tile to another safe one. The next is behind the pillar behind the red tile. Then jump to the S wall and use the jump lever.

Go up the stairs E to where the gate opened up and get the Silver Key from the pedestal, an earthquake rocks the room and you’ll see that crack widened. Go back down the stairs, left towards the pool and SE up the stairs to the first floor, the gates will open, left and all the way to the W end.

Then climb up S and hang from the side of the bridge (opposite of where you just climbed up), climb down the vines there, drop and grab to get into the opening with the lever. Throw the lever, face out and stand left, hop back and jump to the platform, a running jump left to the next and a right curved running jump with a grab in the end into the gate.

Go left, time the spikes and shoot the vase and spiders at the closed gate. Get into the crawlspace and come to a lava pit. In the middle of the pit is a pillar with spikes.

Next part with a Secret:

Without the Secret:

Run-jump out to the right and grab the edge of the slanted ledge. Go opposite the pillar with the spikes and back flip roll to grab the climbable surface. Go left around and back flip onto a thin ledge.

From the block inside you can grab up to the ladder (face E) and go up, back flip into the passage above. Get Musket ammo left (S) and head N, shoot spiders and over a dark tile left to get the Heal Potion.

Standing on that dark tile facing S you better save and check your health before using the jump lever above, fall through the trapdoor and slide far, jump and grab the slanted block. Hang right, time the burner on the next block and jump over that one, then a jump with a right curve to get to the opening, jump twice more and then a jump with grab to the ladders.

A Flyby shows you around this room with its many challenges. On a far pedestal is the key you want. Start with picking up that Musket and go NW into the corner to get more Musket ammo. 2 Harpies attack, shoot them and go to the SE corner of the entrance ledge, look down right of that triangle block and spot a submerged block. That pool is safe, hop in, use the underwater lever and climb onto the slanted side (W) to back flip to the raised block. Jump NW onto the triangle block and jump back to the entrance ledge. A fire is now out; on that ledge E of the triangle block.

Go to a Timed lever in the SW corner. Save and use it, turn left and run E, jump onto the triangle block and onwards to the ledge where the flames were, turning left a running jump to the N and grab the platform. To save time, use a little trick here, as soon as you grab the platform, release Ctrl for an instant and Lara will pull up sooner. Immediately run onto the safe grey ledge behind the platform. From there jump a bit right to that ladder N.

Look up and spot the monkey climb. Stand against the wall and side flip onto the slanted block and jump to grab the monkey climb, follow all the way to a ledge over the room’s entrance. Throw the lever (#1) there and get a screen of the Key. Hang from the ledge and traverse to the right to use the lever (#2) on the next ledge. Go back and use the monkey climb to get back to the ledge where the block lowered.

Face E and run-jump to grab the slanted beam, traverse to the left to get to the jump lever (#3), operate it.

Make your way to the E wall for the last lever (#4), take the left or the right route, throw it to stop the flames at the Key and a door in the wall above also opens.

Jump to the ledge SW. Stand about in the middle of the E side, and line up for a back flip onto a slanted block (face NW), jump and grab the ledge above to get Musket ammo. Run-jump back NE to that block with the lever and jump to the ledge NW (OR jump to the slanted block right of the lever, shimmy right, back flip/roll with a hard curve left, then jump to the lever and from there to the NW). Stand in the middle of the E side again and back flip onto the slanted block, jump and grab the ledge above, throw the lever and two platforms go up. Jump to the Golden Key and another gate opens up behind you. Get in there and jump into the water.

You can choose to go back for air after every pick-up. Jump into the opening E, dive into the water, go right for a Light Potion roll and swim W, the next left has a Heal Potion. Back for air and from the waterhole, go straight and take a left, then a right (N) and right again. Use the underwater lever there, roll and swim forward. Take the second left and then around the corner up for air, climb out and go to that gate.

Go back to the W side and up the steps W. Watch fly by of the Puzzle Square and pick up another Light Potion to your left.

Puzzle Square.

Here we have to unblock 4 puzzle pieces and reveal the clues to where they have to go in order to get down that big magical rock which is hanging over the pool.

Go into the opening S, and follow through, use the three ropes (On the first and second you have to aim right of the next rope). From the third rope the easiest way is to turn left and swing to that crack in the wall and shimmy to the right to hoist up. Jump down at the other side and use the jump lever there. Climb back up W and face S, another rope has appeared.

Just hop to the slanted pillar and grab the edge and line up for the rope, pull up and jump to the rope, turn left and swing to the broken steps. Save here…

Water tunnels.

Get in the water and time the spikes, swim into the next room and down into the depression of the floor to get 2x Unknown Magic Materia (this will also enable another set of spikes), then swim W (there's air there), around a corner then take a right and again a corner then immediately a left (E) and use the underwater lever there. If you need air, swim left/straight and at the end there is air (you will come down here from the room above later).

Turn around, swim left and down in a corner is a Heal Potion. Get back for some air.

Swim back over the spikes to the left, second to the right, around the corner right again, through a tunnel and climb out at the end.

In the room with the couch go out NE and immediately to the right, jump the lava and end up in a room with a table (be careful that the statue doesn’t spike you). Behind the balustrade near a lever is a Light Potion. Use the floor lever (Camera shot of a gate opening up). Jump back over the lava again and go straight into the open gate N (the left hand passage is for later), pick up some Arrows to the left and proceed to a pit. Jump over to the other side and get the Fake Gem (a trapdoor opens up). Go back towards the room with the couch, don’t enter it but to right around the corner down that other passage N, climb up through the trapdoor you opened.

A skeleton and three transparent horsemen will show up, try to single out a horseman and don’t let go of Ctrl so Lara will keep firing her pistols at that one and not the blue skeleton. Go on till the skeleton is the only one left, draw the shotgun and run into the opening to the lava room S, face the skeleton and when it comes close, jump over with a roll and shoot it into the lava.

Go E and at the end left where that gate opened up. Climb over the block, jump to the first collapsible tile and aim to the (safe) slanted block behind it (Save here). The far left hand block you can see W is another safe one. Jump to the slanted and grab the edge, shimmy to the left and hoist up, slide and jump with a curve to the left one, this one is safe as well.

Dive back in and swim W to an underwater room. Go left to the NW and find a Musket. Swim straight E to get the Unknown Magic Materia. Swim W and left and get back to get some air where you got the Secret.

Room with the Torches.

Swim back S and follow going left until you are back at the cave. Get air and dive back down, swim straight N to the wall, follow through and at a crossing take a right. Again keep swimming and at the next crossing if you have enough air you can try to get a Light Potion by swimming left, keep to the right to find it. If not swim straight (N), keep swimming and at the green crystal on the left swim right and up at the end.

Line up for the right hand ledge, left side of it and step back once, then hop back and save. Run jump when you expect the spikes to be up when you land on the one without spikes, and jump through to the next ledge with a left curve, a running jump will get you across. Go into the room SE and shoot the knight, go back, pick up the Musket ammo and go in NE for Musket ammo and a Life Potion. Return S, go to the next room with the table and find a lever (W) to lower the pillar on the Torches. Head into the passage NW of the lever, pick up the Light Potion from a small table up the stairs, slide down and jump to the ledge and then a running jump to the W and follow through.

Take the Torch up NW to the pick up room and throw it through the crawlspace W, go after it, grab the Torch and follow that passage to where you hop down into the cave. Jump over that small island to the other side and hop on the block. Now stand against the S wall and jump up, hit the #1 key and Lara drops the Torch in the higher passage, climb up and pick up the Torch and proceed through a room with vines. Go W to a gate that needs a Gem and take a left up the stairs, go right and the doors open up (shortcut to the Gem gate later) to the stairs leading to the Cave.

Go up the stairs to the Hall and go to the SE corner where that shortcut to the room with the couch is. Drop down and follow up the ramp and immediately go left around the corner. Go through to the pit with the Suits of Armour on the other side. Jump over and ignite the Torch.

Get the Torch and go back out and N, down the ramp NW and jump up to the Hall.

Go over to the open gates NW, down to the cave and ignite the bowl in the hand of the Suit of Armour (#1) and get a screenshot of a lever. Drop the Torch on the steps W and go back to the jetty, look right of the steps for the green crystal wall, jump there and climb up and shift right around corners to get to the lever where the spikes are now gone. A gate opens up the stairs when you use the lever. Climb back around the pillar and drop onto the slanted rock below, slide and jump to safety. Grab the Torch and go up the stairs.

Go stand on that dark blue tile NW, pick up the Blue Plaque and then step on the blue tile SE to get a flyby of the Puzzle Square. You’ll see the blue piece is now unblocked. The clue is on the floor (and on the Plaque). SE is the one where the puzzle piece is standing, N where it has to go. Use the lever W and see yet another gate opening. Go back to your Torch, take it with you and go out of the room to the stairs, to the Hall.

Head to the gate you opened S (left hand side) and inside light the bowl of the Suit of Armour (#2), go back out to the Hall and drop the Torch where you can find it again.

The next gate (right hand side S) is also open, follow through, shoot a spider and come to a lava pool. Stay on this side and jump over the slanted blocks to the N and use the lever at the end. Jump back and now to the tiles with the emitters and into the open doors on the other side, standing in the corner is safe.

Step on the green tile and pick up the Green Plague and then go stand on the blue tile SE to see the green piece is now also unblocked. Just in case, make a note of the clues on the floor. Use the lever NE to open up another gate in the Hall. Jump back over the lava pool and go to the Hall.

Go left (W) into the opened gate there and pick up Musket ammo left between the blocks and in the end go left through a small passage to jump over the ledges to the other side. Pick up Musket ammo and Unknown Magic Materia and then step on the green tile. A door opens up in the passage with the last Harness you lit.
Now look for a stain glass window up in the N wall, climb in and use a flare to spot the deadly pit. Just before the pit and up is a jump lever, use it to open another gate; this one leads to a Secret we’ll get later. Jump back over the tiles and go into the Hall.

The Fake Gem.

Go the left hand gate in the S wall and through the now open door. Get the Fake Gem.
Go out to the Hall and to the gate in the far NW corner, halfway down the steps and left into the open wooden “shortcut” door (where the lion statues are), follow through and place the Fake Gem at the single gate to the left.

Open the Garden Gate.

Go through to the end of the bridge and use the lever, a gate opens up in the Hall. Go back to the Hall.
Go left and take the first gate left (N wall), follow through crawl along the left wall passing that moving Suit of Armour statue and come to a room. Go to the lower part and left off that small gate E is a column in an alcove, climb up and into the crawlspace behind the column.

Follow through and use the lever to flood a pool near by. Go back and go SE and pick up a Life Potion on a pedestal near the water. Get in the deeper part of the water and use the underwater lever.

The Summon Parsifal.

The gate to the garden in the previous room (N) is now open. Go to the S wall of the garden and find a ladder behind the arches there. Climb up and back flip, jump to the building in the middle and shimmy around the corners to the N side (it doesn’t matter which corner), hoist up on the corner near the curtain. Take a curved running jump to the curtain with grab and get in.

Go right (E) and find a crawlspace in the corner left, follow through all the way to the end and climb another ladder. A skeleton attacks, shoot him down the ladder and again go right (E) to the end.

Shoot the giant spider and continue E, shoot 3 more spiders further down. There are two pushable statues near the Merlin’s statues. Pull/push the first statue onto the different looking tile and Merlin’s statue explodes, leaving behind the Fire Materia. Then to the N is another statue, push it onto that brownish tile and the second Merlin statue explodes. Go get the Blizzard Materia.

Head W and place the Blizzard Materia on the statue and watch the flyby, an icy bridge is formed over the pit towards a ladder. Climb up into the tower and use the Fire Materia on the statue, another flyby in which a dragon will melt the ice wall.

Stand NE against the fence, there’s a visible ledge where the lightning strikes. Jump to it and turn SE to jump to the next, better light a flare and one more jump and grab E and then into the tower N. Grab the Blue Plaque there and a door opens up E. Go down the steep passage.

Follow through, jump diagonally through the middle of the Blades and go to the right (S), get the Light Potion and a Heal Potion, then open the chest to get the Old Castle Map.

Go back N and straight, take a right and right again. Run after that blade and turn right to use the Ram’s head lever and get the Green Plaque. Return to the two Blades at the start where a door opened up now.

Go in and get the Arrows from the pedestal, to the W is another pedestal. Look up and shoot some of the blue glass panels, the Pink/Yellow Plaque will appear on the pedestal.

Then pass the last block and go left (N) in the corridor with the ladders, climb the ladders into a room with an Axe, go to the wall torch and take a left (S). Shoot the glass window and go inside for 2x Life Potion and Light Potion on the pedestal. Back out and left (W), go left at the Blades and roll past the Hacksaw, in the end of that passage you can shoot a window. Then you’ll find the Grey Plaque on the pedestal.

Go back the way you came and down to the corridor with the ladders, go to the opposite side and turn the wheel on the left hand ladder, Lara will be transported up. Get through the Hacksaws (you can stand in between them) and get the Orange Plaque. You’ll see a door open up, go back to the ladder and climb down to the ground floor, turn the wheel on the right hand ladder and go all the way up to the upper floor. Go N to where the door opened up and enter.

Save first and look at the floor, there are similar symbols to the ones on the plaques in your inventory. Only jump on those symbols and do not touch the others. You can use the path around the puzzle field though. When all 5 symbols are triggered you’ll see a door open up. (Before you leave, notice the symbol on the tile in the middle of the puzzle field)

Go back to the ladders.

Go back to the ladders.

All the way down, then to the N side and up the ladder, through the open door straight ahead, shoot the Ghost that will show up. The passage N with the moving pillars is for later, go straight over that pool and hop past the skeleton (there is a nice way to get rid of him later). Go all the way up the ladder in the end and follow through shooting Ghosts till you reach the Time Tower. Shoot that big clock to stop time and go all the way back to that passage with the moving blocks (N from the pool). Same as the skeleton, they are frozen in time.

In the room where you start are blue transparent objects, stand between the 2 S ones facing W and back flip, jump again and try to grab the monkey climb above, you may have to jump to the very edge of the blue point before you can grab it. Shimmy forward and climb up the ledge and get Light Potion, E is more Light Potion and to the S is the #1 of 6 Light Levers, pull it.

Get down to the ground floor and go N. Up on the left is a crawlspace in the wall, get in and pick up the Light Potion. Use the lever there to open up a door in the Main Hall.

Back out of the crawlspace and head N to the Main Hall. Go left (W) at the Main Hall and go into the room W. This is the room with the Light Beams. You can see you already activated one of them. Go around the room to pick up 2x Light Potion and 2x Arrows in the corners. Leave the room and just to the right when you come to the Main Hall you’ll find a ladder you can climb.

Jump to the other side N and pick up Arrows NW. Jump back to the ladder edge and jump over SE to that triangle ledge in the corner. Take a curved running jump to the left triangle ledge and hop over to the N. To the right is the door you opened, don't go in yet but first pick up the Heal Potion in the corner and Light Potion from the crawlspace W.

Walk S to the edge of the floor and look up SW to spot a ladder surface, side flip onto the slanted wall and jump to grab that ladder. Go up to get your feet on the ladder and back flip. Pick up the Old Castle Map, Crossbow and Monocular. (Examine to see where all the levers are) and throw Light lever #2.

Before going down, look at that crawlspace W and you see another bouncing ball there, shoot it (Crossbow Fire Magic ammo does the trick very well). The door one floor down behind the chest is open now. No need to go there just yet as inside is a still deadly pool.

Go back down to the lower floor and climb into the opening W, walk down the steps and right around the corner look up left. Shoot the bouncing ball; this opens the door to another lever. Go out S and right into the crawlspace, to the open door on the right. Look up as in the middle of the room is another ball you have to shoot, this turn the deadly water into safe water. Go through the water to use Light lever #4.

Get out and jump to the S and go into the open door SW to use Light lever #5. Pick up Light Potion from behind the door and go back out to the ledge in the Main Hall.

Shoot the yellow bouncing ball that is bouncing N and up and the door in the SE opens (maybe you already did?), use the triangle edges to get there or go along the N side of the room.

Jump to the first island W and then to the one with a green crystal, turn N and jump there. Then jump up W and from there to the roof, shimmy to the corner and jump over the roof into the structure. Use the ladder to get the Light Potion (could be you will land right next to them without using the ladder), use the Light lever. A sphere disappears S, you could see it through the fence. Climb up the ladder and back flip to the ledge. On the windowsill S is Light Potion.

Running jump down S to that small island and go left jumping islands to the one with the green crystal again. Jump N and then up to the one SE, then continue S. Look SW and see that blue water like patch, jump there and keep going W.

Down the ladder again and the blue door on the bottom is open. Jump SW and slide jump right to the next island. Climb up the ladder and jump W, up the long ladder, jump SW to the island in front of the building up S where that blue wall lowered. Get the Light Potion first and then use the lever.

Do not dillydally, because some wraiths show up. Jump to the island N and then jump with a left curve into the building where the big planetary door is now open. Run in and to the end near the green crystal (wraith catcher), the wraiths will be gone. Going back a bit you can get a Musket ammo pick up in a small plant.

Then go all the way down to the end of this passage and jump NE. Then to the building E, get 2x Unknown Magic Materia inside. Go out and left (S) and jump SE, shimmy along the roof to the corner, back flip and roll to grab the roof behind you where you can climb up on the flat ledge. Then jump to a ledge N, further to the E to that the blue ladder and climb up. Jump inside the tower and get 2x Unknown Magic Materia there. From here, jump to the island where you came from and then jump to the island with the moving pillar. Jump N to an island and E up another ladder. Jump N and go up another ladder.

To the W from this island is blue structure. Jump in there and place the Fake Gem. More ladders appear to upper levels of the Fake Gem Tower.

Get back to the island E. Jump down to a pink island and from there, take a standing jump to the blue walkway NW.

Jump back to the island E and continue E towards the building far SE to get into the building (watch out for that planet, take a hop and a running jump). More Light Potion on the right and then proceed to the end.

Jump in and ride it to the end, jump back into the building S, jump over to the blue walkway and get to the pink island near the Fake Gem Tower.

Jump S to the blue ladder and go up, jump into the Tower (W) and place the next Gem.

Jump out to the pink island SE and look SE where you can spot in the distance a path of blue ledges, that’s where we go next. Jump (with CTRL) to the SE onto the near by green island below (losing some health). Go S over two blue pathways and then turn to jump E towards that blue path, the camera will change to a nice view…

Just walk slowly so you won’t fall off and from the end start jumping islands to a far building E, between blue arches. The path is easy to find, but you will get quite dizzy here due to the cameras (there is a Harpy somewhere around that might pester you) and watch out for falling stars on the transparent blue ledge. Just jump to it and immediately run through to jump to the building.

Once on the island with the structure, you can find some Unknown Magic Materia to the right, go to the end for the Third Fake Gem, on the roof of the building is Light Potion. Make your way back over all the islands and walk the blue path again. Once on the S end, jump W and into to the tower there.

Turn S and jump to the blue ladder, go up and hop NE (pink island). Go up the green ladder (S) and also a bit onto the red part, back flip/roll and get onto the pink island, jump to the Tower (W) and place the 3^rd Fake Gem. All three levels are activated and a planetary door opens way up S. Jump back to the pink island, go up the ladder (S) to the top and jump the islands and blue paths to the Light Lever W.

The level changes.

Prepare for a battle. Shoot the furious Morgana and that will take quite some doing. Tip: because you can easily fall off the ledges, turn W and immediately start shooting her with a heavy weapon (Crossbow & Fire Magic ammo). When she gets close, run W and do a jump roll to land on the last ledge, shoot again and repeat this a few times.

Three of the pylons around you are now active. Climb up in the NW and jump up. Climb the red block S, turn around and jump to the higher blue blocks. Then jump to the W wall and from there make your way to the S wall (white opening) and enter the now opening doors.

Head up the stairs and open the chest.

In your inventory you will find a Map to Topaz Island; carrying this, the Bonus level will start after Avalon.

Go back out and jump straight down onto a white pillar, turn around and see more icy surfaces you can go through and push the buttons/use levers in each one of them. There are 4 levels of openings.

Here we go: On the top level are 2 buttons, one for that cage we already lowered and one more to open 2 doors outside, you can reach that opening by going to the high blue pillar W and jump to the W wall, from there you can reach that opening via the ledge.

Go down to the red/white block in the SW corner of the hall and enter the opening there, pass through the moving pillars and use the button to open the door to the Monkeys.

Go back out and make your way via ground floor and up the green block NE to the first level, second opening from the left. Climb down a ladder and use the button to open a door in the tower outside (you can see it through the window).

Go back into the hall, jump to the red/white block right (E) and climb it. Jump into the opening in front of you (2), throw the lever and part of the left hand drawbridge goes down. Back out, onto the red white block E, jump to the pillar NW and face the S wall. Jump into the opening in front of you (3) and throw the lever. You should now have the left hand drawbridge down and the right hand one half down.

Jump back to the red/white block E go down from the block into the SE opening there (you opened this door at the moving pillars) and follow through left. Find an open gate left around a corner and you are in a room with 3 levers and 3 monkeys. The only lever that works for you is the one in the middle. A monkey appears behind you. Just wait a bit, it will climb up N and pull the ceiling switch for you. After the explosion pick up the Time Materia on the floor.

Go out of the room and straight S, over the bridge to the Tower, left around the corner is a lever that will change the position of the bridges again, pull it down. Walk onto the E side bridge and jump down NE into the small pool. Wade out NE and go to the steps on the N side of the Tower. Climb into the open gate with the greenish light and use the button to open two more ice walls as shown in the flyby. Climb down, up the stairs N and to the Hall.

Climb up the blocks again as you have to use some levers again. Go up NW and head S to the red/white block. Go straight into the opening there. Pull lever 1 down, jump back to the red/white block and jump E over to the next opening where lever 2 has to be up, lever 3 no change. When you look outside, both bridges should be completely down.

Go over two iron bridges and when you are on the other side, jump up, turn and jump on top of the iron bridge. Run along, jump to the top of the roof and pick up the Cherub Statue. Go back over the iron bridge and make your way to the other side and avoiding the traps to the floor where the draw bridges are. At the spiked bags you can safety drop down, avoiding all traps.

Jump back to the small pool, get out of the water and place the Cherub statue on that small pedestal S near the dry well.

The well is now filled with water so dive in and retrieve the Zantetsuken from the bottom and get out of the well. Go back to the Hall of the Castle. Use the blocks to get to the second floor at the N wall and use the Time Materia and the Zantetsuken on the statues in the left and right hand rooms. Go out and now to the middle icy panel, follow through over the waterfall and the level changes...

Pick up some Magic Materia from the battle floor. Go to the S side of the entrance bridge (that part is open) and jump off backwards grabbing the edge, let go and grab the crack, shimmy right and pull the jump lever there (door opens). Run/swim around to the other side, climb the block and climb back up to the floor above. Shoot another scorpion and go right (W). Jump in to the opening in the wall.

Now go into the SW passage and jump up to grab the monkey bar (or just jump in the pool) and get to the other side of the pool. In the left back corner is ladder, climb it and back flip. Crawl through and left is a button that needs pushing (opens UW door at the start). Go back, down the ladder, jump in the water and get out E, go NE, jump passing the rolling balls and the axes and again into the water. The door is SW. Go in and around to the right and in the corner of that small building you can pull up. Pick up the Second Dark Skull and leave, run back to the block and climb up.

Jump back into the opening W and through the axes and rolling balls back to the bridge. Go to the right (NW) and place the two Skulls to the right on the hands there. Go through the door and find another message:

Slide down, drop and shoot the Transparent Demigod that is waiting there (hardly visible, so just start shooting). Into the passage E and around the corner is a Life Potion.

Get in the SE pool and crawl into the SW tunnel and around the corner down is an underwater lever and a button, so use the button (a pillar lowers). Go back out and climb out the pool. Go W and push a button around the corner, another Demigod awaits you. He leaves you a Dark Skull. Climb up between the two waterfalls in the S and place the Skull to open doors N. Get down (if you have the armour, just run down) and go to the N side, to the left of the waterfall is a ladder you can climb, go to the right once up and enter the top of the waterfall.

Then take a jump to the grey roof SE and shimmy right as far as possible. Pull up, back flip and roll to grab the next roof (or make use of the transparent ledges below). Jump to the roof W and shimmy left till you see a last pillar below and another ladder above. Pull up, back flip and jump again to grab the ladder. Climb right to the jump lever and pull it. This opens an underwater door near the far side W wall and E behind a column there. Jump down go to the W side and around the corner is the door. Shoot the Sea Hag and pick up Small Heal Potion and a Light Potion.

Use the button/underwater lever S and see a block go down near a push statue. Go back out, go to the far NE corner and jump onto the ledge at the climbable pillar. Jump onto the bridge SW and from there straight ahead (W) and from there to the statue you see N over the water. Jump down and pull the statue to the block 3 times.

Then jump back S, go to the SE corner and push the block there to the edge of the floor (E or S) climb it and climb up to the roof, from the top a run jump grab up to the W side balcony where you got rid of the spikes before. Use the button and go back down to the lower walkway and push the statue to the N wall.

Jump to the central structure and go to the S side where that blue pillar disappeared behind the middle block and pick up the Crystal Key. Go back up to the roof, jump to the transparent ledge NE and to the upper bridge SE and use the key on the right.

Go to the N end of the bridge, drop down into the water and run into the opening S. Use the button in the back and get back to the ladder and up, then make your way to the top of the central structure (roof) to pick up the Dark Skull. You can also go to the SW corner of the pool and from the blocks to the structure and to the roof. Drop down from the roof, jump E to the passage under the bridge and place the Skull in the hand there. Two Hell Hounds and one Scorpion aren’t too happy about that.

Jump up W and climb higher.

Use the Gems on the top and enter.

In this cave full of crystals are two enemies and you need to find two Fake Gems in order to get two other gems. Go to the far NE corner of the caves and find a door there, go E a bit from the door to find a blue blinking crystal up NE, shoot it for the First Fake Gem and use it on that door you saw in the far NE corner. Enter to get Crystal Key #1.

Then go first W and straight to jump up where there are some blue crystals on a wall and also a blinking light, shoot the blue crystal there to get the second Fake Gem. Slide back down and go N towards the red crystals and use the Fake Gem on the right. Into the open door N and avoid the moving crystals to grab Crystal Key #2.

Slide down and keep running, around a corner, the camera is normal again and save your game here. As soon as you enter the room, a bouncing ball will be triggered and it will bother you a lot, (with armour not much of a problem).

Go to the ladder on the middle of the N wall and go up to the opening, shoot the crystal and get the Light Potion. Place the Dark Matter on the skull there and jump down, go E, shoot the crystal in the alcove SE and jump in there. Place another Dark Matter there. Jump down to the ground floor and climb the ladder S. Pick up 2x Musket ammo and place another Dark Matter. Jump down and shoot the green crystal NE, jump there and place your last Dark Matter.

The bouncing Ball won’t bother you no more and the door W opens. Go in and follow through.

Don’t even think about taking a swim in that lake N.

Slide down and pick up the Dark Skull #1 SE. Go to the start and then right (N) and at the end on the left side (NW) corner you can spot a ladder up on a wall above, climb it. To the S is a receptacle for a gem. First go all the way to the SE end (see that jump lever E?) at the S end jump side ways to the slanted roof and shimmy around a corner to the end. Pick up the Fake Gem and drop down. Back to the other ladder and once on top, turn around to jump to the S and place the Fake Gem.

Jump back to the ladder and climb the blue block, climb even higher, go SE and jump to the roof there and shimmy to the jump lever. Once down climb up the blue block again, and up on top of the building and get into the open door N wall.

Get Dark Skull #2 and jump into the alcove N. From there climb to the top, and pick up the Summon Merlin). The door downstairs opens up again so leave. Make your way to the ground floor and place the two Skulls N.

There are various traps, the water around the castle is deadly and Dedalus will constantly release fire bolts. So you have to take care, jumping up on the slopes N will also trigger traps, from spikes to rolling balls. Sometimes you have to first trigger the trap and get away quickly so you can go up safe the second time.

You can jump over the fence to the ground floor N. Make your way to the single tower and into the door opened by shooting the bells, up the ladder and left around. Jump N and wait for the boulder, go up the hill there, turn right and follow that path with traps to take a running jump to the opening S. Climb up the ladder and pry another Shield from the wall. Back flip to the ground floor.

Place both Shields on that block near the pool (next to Dedalus). A piece of the earth/grass disappears (S) opening a cave. Go there and in and come to a huge cave.

Pick up Excalibur and go through the portal.

Climb on the block and jump to the next. Once on top, shoot the “angel” by aiming the sword. Use the look button to aim.

Go to the time portal SW and end up in the Castle again.

(I went jumping S along the W side, jump into an arch S, turn and run off with grab to land onto the red block (did loose some health) and jumped to that opening S where Merlin is waiting.

You have to put your sword into the stone as Merlin suggests...

Open the chest and get the Map of the South Side area of Topaz Island, the Pistols and ammo.

Go straight S and to the left an island will appear, go close to the shore and hold Shift and left or right arrow to jump out of the dinghy.
On the E side of the island behind the last palm tree you’ll find the Wooden Handle. Combine it with the Metal Blade to get a Shovel.

Lara lands in the water of the Main room, swim into the NE corner for a Small Medipack and SW for Flares. There are 4 tunnels leading from this room.

Swim through the E tunnel into a room, go right around into the SW corner, face N and use the underwater lever. There is air at the ceiling and get some before you go into the opening N where a door opened up. Follow through around a corner and through a glass tunnel. In the next room swim through an opening in the floor to the bottom, keep as low as you can and swim through a crawlspace and once you are in a bigger room there is a breathing hole straight ahead.

Get some air first and on your way to the underwater lever NE, look to the right between those big beams, there's a Large Medipack hidden between them. Then you can swim back through the blue tunnel SW, the room with the underwater lever and one more tunnel (W) to the Main Room.

When you get back to the town swim up and roll as right above where you came from is a small crawlspace. In there you'll find tile #3.

Swim out and take a left (N) and around the corner of this house is another opening. Swim into the passage and roll on the tile (#4) in the end, swim out and straight N to the now open door; go in and up for air in the air pocket. There is a Large Medipack in the SW corner under the entrance building.

S - The Third Fake Gem.

Swim in and left, get the 2 Large Medipacks in the room at the end and go back for air. Go in again and this time straight up against the current, go against the wall ahead before you turn left, stay in the middle of the tunnel as there are deadly plants up in the ceiling and down in the floor are some updrafts. Go up for air when you’re through.

Save here and now you really should try out something … When you swim straight through the next large area, you can go in between the ribcage of a large skeleton, go into the square opening and watch what happens…

What you really have to do though is: Swim into the ribcage along the bottom and wait there so the Squid will pass overhead, go into the opening and down into the next hole in the bottom, go up for air there. Swim back up and left into the crevice S, left around the corner is the Third Fake Gem. Get back to the building and swim back to the Main Room.

Swim into the W tunnel and follow to the City Square, there’s a large contraption on the bottom, S is a hole with a Giant Squid and N a hole in the bottom, get in there and climb out in the room where you can place the 3 Gems. The contraption is activated.

After the final cutscene and only when you found all secrets and secret items, a Secret level can now be played:

Use the 2 Dark Matters from the inventory on the receptacles at the side of the door.

Go through the open gates and take a left and jump to the rock NW, from there another jump to the SW.

Again jump to the NW and again another jump SW. Use the wheel; this raises a block on the ground floor N (behind you).

Metal Ball and Seed.

Read the blackboard:

Dear dwarves, please close the classroom on your way out!!! Beware of flying fairies in case of emergency turn into stone or run to the amulet.

We run out of shamrocks. Use the machine to breed them. The first one who finds a 4 leaves shamrock, will get a prize. Use the detector, if you can’t find it on your own. It would be great if someone catches a wind fairy and put it into the machine, so it will get enough steam!

Any volunteers? The prize is 200.000 dwarfian golds. Take what you need from here, freely.

Go E and pick up a Net, a Metal Ball and an Empty Jar and combine the Net with the Empty Jar and get a To Catch a Fairy contraption. Now open that chest SW and get an Ancient Book on the Mythology of South America. When you read it, it will give you the explanation to some symbols we need later.

Go out of the room, down to the ground and find a crawlspace where the howling wind rocks that tree (S). Follow through and find a Wind Fairy flying around, catch it with the net (hit Ctrl near the Fairy), pick up the Jar with the Angry Fairy and leave through the crawlspace.

At the small pool in front of the classroom you can fill the Watering Can.

Go E, climb up and follow through, you are back at the first wheel. Jump to that rock pillar with the contraption on top (NE).

Now you need that book, look up the symbol for Water and put the water in the machine (face S) and the symbol turns blue, use the Fairy (Wind-face E) and the symbol turns grey, the Seed (face NW) and the symbol turn green. Drop from the S side of the rock and push that boulder aside. Inside is the tile to trigger the machine. Watch what happens and go out, an Angry Fairy appears. Go to the E and stand near that statue there (NE) to get rid of her.

Go W along the N wall and find a receptacle for that metal ball, place it and a big blue arrow appears. Under the arrow is the Shamrock. Go W and open the big gates NW by using the Shamrock.

Go in and climb the colourful ladder in the NE corner and climb off to the left. Then jump to the ladder E, shift to the right and follow the passage. Turn around at the end and jump up S. Pick up the small castle and watch the flyby.

KAP-Bonus Gameplay:

The Bridge. You will arrive back here after the "Secret" Magic Garden level.

All the Secrets and pickups are there again, but there's no need to go for the Secrets again, you found them anyway or else you wouldn't be here. The amount of ammo for the Magic Staff will remain about 100 for each type, no need to go look for more, but you'll have to get the Musket and Flintlock again. Also get and save as much Flintlock and Musket ammo as you can for the Final Battle.

We're not going to write the whole thing again as the route is the same as the Castle levels walkthrough, only difference is that you can create as many shortcuts as you can by using the Magic. Fire for igniting torches, Time to stop time for a while when in a timed run or freezing enemies and Napalm to open some of the doors, doesn't work for all doors/gates though.

To the Bridge.

First up is the gate up in the E side, you can get there by climbing the bridge, go to the N end and jump E over the walls/pillars.

When close to the gate, the Napalm icon appears, use the Staff and fire a Napalm bolt, the gate turns orange, now jump to the S and wait till the gate opens. Go onto the bridge.

The Bridge.

You'll have to go for the two Keys again, so open the trapdoor, go down and get the Monocular. Shoot the ball W and go E, grab the Crossbow and use the rope to get onto the ledge at the vines. Shoot that grate in the wall (NE) and get on the vines, left around the corner and back flip to grab the break tile there. Make your way into the opening and go to the gate at the courtyard.

Now the gate S for the Gold key where you have to go through the Lava rooms again (use Time Magic on the Timed gate if you need it) and end up in the room where the Golden Key is, you can also get the Musket there. Do the 4 levers to kill the Flames on the pedestal again. The lever for the gate and platforms up E and get the Golden Key. Get out, up to the bridge and open the gate E to get to Castle Daytime.

Bonus Gameplay - Witch's Castle.

As you will notice, Lara is wearing her full body Armour again, so falling or jumping from great heights will be no problem as long as she lands on her feet.

Rock Climbing.

You're in a magical garden, along the W side rock face is a rock ledge sticking out, go around that ledge onto the mount of dirt and jump onto the ledge. Go jump up (almost straight W) to a Life Potion (witch1.jpg), then where it looks like you can't grab or jump up W, jump up S. Grab up W again and you'll hear a kind of explosion (witch2.jpg). Grab up W and shimmy left to where you can pull up.

Up the Pillars.

Main objective here is to ignite 5 big candle stands, 4 covered by big blue spheres and one in the centre of the ring ledges.

To the NE is a Heal Potion, from there to the W is a Life Potion, in the far SW and SE corners another 2 Heal Potions. At some routes a trail of Heal and Life Potions will lead you through the next part (like the famous '"bread crumbs").

First into the Building, Central candle stand:

Go find the green covered pointy rock a bit W from the middle of the place (witch3.jpg). Jump from that to the crack in the pillar N, pull up in the highest corner and jump to the E, from there you can directly hop to the corner of the pillar SE (or use the safer way using the crack in the pillar S). Turn around and jump to grab the top of the sugar cane pillar with the Life Potion on top. Now go SW, to the higher one W and from the highest point a standjump down to the one SW. Follow the row of pillars to the SE and then jump to the block under the door in the structure.

Timed Trapdoor.

Use some Napalm and hop down E, the door will open up and a block went up to the N, that is a shortcut up in case you fall down (backflip on the rock and jump to grab the block). We can just get inside the structure and up to the roof terrace. The lever is Timed and will raise a trapdoor from the ring ledges to the central pillar. Route is NE from the lever, onto the high block of the battlements and a runjump down onto the nearest ring ledge, run to the long trapdoor and sprint to the central ledge (shortcut without lever and trapdoor, from the NE corner of the battlements you can jump onto the top ring ledge and from there straight to the lower ledge on the central pillar). Go up that ladder to the first candle stand, use Fire Magic to ignite it and see blocks have gone up on the lower E ledge.

Now you have to get onto the ring ledges below, I jumped from the S side to the SE, landing just to the right of that pillar, from there jump up SE onto that stone structure and go to the SE corner. Hop onto the ledge S and go around the pillar to use the big button, the Sphere will explode. Use the ladder to go up and ignite the second candle stand.

Just drop down where the ladder is and go NW, jump to grab the top of the upper ring ledge there, hop down the N side onto that block and to the next, from there up to the next upper ledge. Jump N to the pillar with the Sphere, use the button and climb up to ignite the third candle stand. Back down and just runjump down to that Heal Potion SW.

Go W to the pillar and climb to the top, run jump down to the ledge NW (far down). Climb the block W and jump W, there you can grab the monkey climb to get to the next. Drop grab, pull up and turn around to grab up to a ledge with a Life Potion. Turn around and jump W, go around the next pillar using the crack and jump SW. From that ledge to the pillar NW and you know what to do to ignite the fourth candle stand.

When you're done, jump SE to the top of the arches and go S, drop down from the end and make your way to a Heal Potion on the last ledge (SE). Grab up S, turn around and jump and grab the NW pillar, turn around and grab up to the ledge above. Go S and climb one of the blocks S, run jump to the pillar you can see below S and then get to the last Sphere pillar to ignite the fifth candle stand. Grab the Heal Potion and jump around the back for the button, the ladder is around the next corner. A Magic Bridge appears from the arches W to the top of the rocks W.

The Magic Bridge.

After igniting the last candle stand, just run down to the ground and shake the earth. Go N, there's a block that went up near the NW corner of the arches. Go up to it from the E side and jump onto the arch. There's a Heal Potion on the outer corner of the arches, a banana jump right around the pillar W should get you there. Just drop down and go S to a short stump of pillar (witch4.jpg) climb it and jump W, turn around and jump to grab up to the ledge E, stand on the higher part  and grab up to the block that went up there. Turn S and grab up to the ledge, jump SW, then SE and pull up S.

Turn around and jump and grab the NW pillar, turn around and grab up to the ledge above. Go over the Bridge to the W and follow the winding path sliding down slopes and over a rock ridge to the Castle.

The Witch's Castle.

Napalm won't work on this door, jump to that crawlspace E. Get in and down, follow the stairs to a big Hall. Go N and around the corner of that pillar are Explosive arrows next to a vase (to the N is a door we have to open up later by getting some Magic Wands). Go in E, to the right and down the stairs E there, shoot the skeleton and gather the Unknown Magic Materia from a vase, a Life Potion in the alcove E and a Heal Potion around the corner N. We'll be back here later, but now you are familiar with the layout.

Back up the stairs W, right and left, left again and right into the opening in the wall, shoot that skeleton. Go N, over a pit and left around the corner is a Heal potion, around the next corner is an entrance, shoot the skeleton before he even wakes up and go up the ladder. Grab the Musket ammo, jump to the NW corner ledge and get Heal Potion, then go to the E over that ledge, to the left in a window is a Life Potion and there are also other skeletons near by.

Make your way over the walls to the S wall where you'll find another Life Potion. Now go to the far SE corner where you'll find a Heal Potion and 2x Musket ammo after a jump to the ledge. Jump back and go jump to the ladder NE, up and to the top floor.

Upper Floor, the Magic Wands.

Jump to the ledge W, then to the large one SW and over to the door in the S wall, use Napalm and roll to jump back to the large ledge, the door opens up. Go in and get a Life Potion, 2x Heal Potion, Arrows and Musket ammo. Jump back out and go over to a rope NW, swing to the ledge W and go left around to open a similar door for 2x Life Potion, a Heal Potion, Arrows and a pile of Musket ammo. Jump back N to that candle stand, first jump S into the opening in that tower like structure, go up the pole and back flip off. Shoot the skeleton and pick up a Heal Potion. Up the ladder and jump to the candle stand, ignite it and a Timed door opens up E, switch to Time Magic and fire a bolt while running to the door. I immediately started to shoot the skeletons, but the arrows were frozen in the air till the Time Magic ran out, that was funny. Go get the Magic Wands and a Life Potion. In the hole NW are a Heal Potion, Arrows and a Life Potion. Get back to the ladder and pole and don't use both, just run down :).

Jump to the candle stand NW and when you ignite it with Fire Magic, a Timed door opens up E, so fire some Time Magic and use the rope and ledges to get into that door. Inside are more Magic Wands (that door opens up now), jump back out and run to the big ledge W, look down N and in the deepest part of the Hall is the open door, just jump down there.

Go in and the elevator goes up, out E and find Pistols and Pistol ammo in the room with the stairs. all the way up and a block will lift you into the room where Morgana is waiting.

Hit F2 if you want the text on screen.

Impressive. Your skills are impressive. I was able to see time through your eyes. And yes, I did like it, much better than the times before. Unfortunately my magic has been weakened because you destroyed the first castle illusion, so I don't have enough strength to materialize the past quite as it was. The materia you used, was a signal for me, that someone worth my attention has appeared. But unfortunately Merlin also found out my plan and helped you until now. Luckily for me, you found the grail where I stored my memory and by using armour's power I was able to project it into your mind. And here it's just us. I've been stuck in this magic shell for far too long, waiting for someone from the future to find it, so I can finally live again in the true world. What you see here now, all of this is my creation, an illusion, much like this body of mine. To enter your time and world. I need a body that already exists there. If not, I would only be seen as a ghost and only act as a ghost. I already tried that a number of times, entering a body in past centuries as a ghost, but I was never able to adopt to the existing living body completely. Someone always interfered. I was exorcised one too many times and I've seen too many mental institutions. I always had to go back to my safe shell... then I realized I need a peace and a special magical place to adapt fully to the new body... all of this I have right here... So... I will take over your body...

Fight Morgana.

The scenery changes and you're on a terrace surrounded by empty space.

First Morgana will send all kinds of enemies, you can use Time Magic to freeze them, then fire Explosive arrows or Fire magic and as soon as the Time magic runs out the enemies will die. Don't forget to save after every successful part of the battle. One strategy is to get up close to Morgana as her claws will not reach you there. After Morgana is gone, the final cut scene will play and after that you can watch the credits.

When you Fail... the Cursed Level.

The witch has taken your soul, now you are trapped. You are now playing a strange experience, a completely different and corrupted one. This level was built in the past years and then cut off and stored on a backup DVD (it was Lara's home level). After some years we decided to put it back into the King Arthur project, but the level was corrupted and changed somehow its form. So it is said, this level is CURSED. Play at your own risk. This represents an evil ending, and also this level is a dead end. Next time, try to defeat the witch, to continue, but now, face your destiny.

I went to a totally black screen, just hit the forward key and Lara will appear. No saving/reloading here. Just run through till you get to the witch and she has taken over your soul. Your body will disappear as you walk up to the witch.

Finally you'll end back up at the bottom of the stairs so you can give it another go, don't forget the Pistols and ammo.

If you type the names of the level builders when you are in the title menu, you'll get a password. This password is also given after the credits when you killed Morgana.
