4 secrets
Run a
bit to the left and jump to the crate in the water and fetch the Medipack in
between the plants. Jump back to the beach and go to the biggest waterfall
(SW). Stand on the right side block and hop into the
opening behind the fall and grab Flares.
Jump out and now we go for a swim. Into the water and swim into the tunnel left
(NW), take a left and through an opening to where you can catch your breath in
between the lilies. There are two openings, one left (S) and one on the right
(N)
Flooded Temple.
The
one on the right (N) is a dead-end, so take the other one and swim down some
stairs to get to a flooded temple.
For
some pick-ups, jump either left or right and near the N wall grab the Uzi ammo from the skeleton and on the
wooden block in the S end of the pool a Medipack.
The Elevator.
So
now you’re familiar with the place go back to the
waterhole and climb up E. Pass the chain (spikes) and go straight, jump up on
the right and climb up E to end on the top of this beach area.
Go to
the right and take a running jump to the balcony at the waterfall, go to the
end and jump through the waterfall to find a pulley wheel you can use. You’ll see a floor being lifted, below of where you are now.
The Jungle Sword.
Easiest
way to get down is to jump over the balustrade into the water and climb out OR
jump back to the rocks and safety drop down, jump into the opening behind the
waterfall again and then down the stairs into the water. Wade through this room
and climb out at the end (NW corner). Jump over to a higher ledge (E) and climb
up into the opening there. Turn around and jump over to grab the ledge W.
Go to
the left into the passage and out in the open, pick up the Healing mushrooms (small medipack) in the
grass. Cross the bridge, shoot the box for Uzi
ammo, the Uzis
and the Jungle Sword.
The First Ornate Wood Carving.
Turn
around and you can use the ladder to the right of the bridge (or just jump into
the water), climb the wooden crate and take a running
jump into that alcove N. Use the Sword on the lever (see flyby of a door
opening and a block going up). Use the ladder to get up to the bridge again and
cross it, through the passage on the end and to the right,
and get back to the water room. Hop down to the ground floor.
Get the Push block on the Elevator.
Wade
through the water to the other side (E) and up the block that went up there. We
have to go back to the upper opening behind the
waterfall, so climb out at the beach and down into the water, swim NW and left
again, left down the stairs and around the corner into the opening (E) up and
out.
Jump
over and climb up, pass the chain and up to the right. Jump back to the balcony
and in the room behind the waterfall you’ll find the
gate has opened up.
Jump
down onto the elevator, and find a pushable block in
the NW corner, that’s the block you saw from the other
side. Pull it once and leave again, get to the balcony and either find your way
back down using the rocks W or jump in the water and climb up behind the
waterfall again.
Go
through the lower water room and climb up the block in the corner and turn
around, jump to the ledge E and go up the slope, here
is where you pulled the pushable. Push it and you
also created a shortcut.
Jump
on that push block and use the sword to pry loose an Ornate Wood Carving.
The Wooden Hub.
Get
down from the block and into a new passage (S). Follow through and get up a
waterfall. In that small indentation in the floor grab the Wooden Hub and see spikes retracting at that chain.
The Chain, the Wooden Cog.
Nothing
else to do than retracing your steps to the pushable
block and jump from the balcony to the rocks W, go up right to that opening in
the rock wall. Go down to the room with the chain and now you can finally pull
that chain. Go down W towards the waterhole. Go left or right and onto the
stone bridge and push the lever to switch the position of trapdoors.
Jump
left or right onto the trapdoor near the waterfall W and climb up. Around the
corner is a pulley wheel, so use it to lower a block under water.
Leave
and dive into the water, straight into the passage E, as the block that went
down is underwater is opposite the ladder there. Get the Wooden Cog and you’ll get a screenshot of
an opening near the waterfall on the beach.
Place the First Ornate Woodcarving.
Swim
up and climb out at the ladder, go E and up to the room with the chain. Use it
again to switch the spikes at the lever and go back to the room with the lever
on the bridge, jump around the spikes using the crate in the water and throw
the lever again to get the trapdoors N&S back up. Use the crate S to jump
to that trapdoor and place the Woodcarving in the niche S.
Use the Wooden Cog Switch.
Combine
the Wooden Hub with the Wooden Cog and get a Wooden Cog Switch. Go back to the beach and pull up into an opening
just left of the big familiar waterfall
Run
up the slopes and shoot a snake in the next area. Use the Wooden Cog Switch on
the E wall.
A
block comes up so you can use the lever on the block. The door behind Lara
opens so go there and jump to the right (E). Take another jump to the next
ledge and keep jumping till you can enter an opening on the right. In there is
another Snake and at the end a pulley wheel. A door opens somewhere below the
grate.
The Second Ornate Wooden Carving.
Make
your way back to the ledge at the waterfall and jump down into the water, climb
out and go to the E wall and find a small crawlspace near some roots (under the
small balcony).
Get in
and the door is on the far left. Inside go straight and pry the second Ornate Wooden Carving.
Go
back out and to the big waterfall, through the passage and Lily room to the
underwater temple and if you haven’t done it before,
use the chain and then the floor lever to get the platforms up so you can place
the Wooden Carving on the left and right (if you didn’t yet S and N wall).
Watch
the fly by and get back out to the beach, go to the E side
and jump in the water and swim into the opening and up some stairs. Swim
through an opening on the right (S), then up some stairs and step into the
teleport to get to the next part.
Part
2- Shambhala’s Pathfinder.
Incense Sticks and Dried Lilies.
On this
floor there are two more teleports but for now go straight (S) through the
rooms and at the end take a left. Behind a banana tree are some mushrooms (small medipack).
Keep going E and then go to the right. Pass a small pond with a Buddha statue
in it and go down some steps to an abyss. Safety drop at the left side (and
losing some health) down to a block below and turn around then take a running
jump to the other side (S).
Pick
up the Incense Sticks, step to the
right onto the grassy ledge with the tree and safety drop into the water there
(from the lowest point from the S side). There is a native running around down
there, so kill him. In the other pool (NE) is a small Buddha statue, stand in
the water in front of it and make an offering with the Incense Sticks. A block
goes up in the other pool (SW). Go there and pick up the Dried Lilies (you’ll get a screen of where
to use them)
Then
go through to the room in the E, take a left and use the teleporter to get back
up.
More Incense Sticks and Dried Lilies.
Once
up go straight (W) to the next teleporter and get up to the top level. Shoot
another native and go to the next room with the hole in the floor. On the left
is a skeleton that left a Medipack.
Hop
onto the floating ledge with the tree and look down N, just run down from the
ledge to land on a wall with the Incense
Sticks.
Hop
down into the pool below and make an offering with the Incense Sticks at the
little Buddha statue. Turn around where a block went up so you can grab the Dried Lilies.
Use the Dried Lilies, over the Abyss.
Go N
and left, follow back to the teleporters; step into the one to the left (W) to
get back up. Head straight (E) around the hole in the floor and in the next
room in the back are two Buddha’s, use the Lilies there and get a screen of the
abyss. Go back to the teleporter, take a right (S) and at the end a left then
follow through to where you got the last Dried Lily in the pond. Go straight to
the abyss.
At
the abyss stand on the right side and spot a ledge, jump there and then to the
right into the opening to get some Mushrooms
and Secret #1,
the Ornate Lion Key.
Don’t forget to pick up the Uzi ammo, Magnum ammo and Medipack
from the skeleton. Jump back to the ledge and now jump to grab the small island
E from where you can jump on the right to the other side of the abyss
The Temple Cave.
Follow
through down to the pool and slide down to the next area using the waterfall,
watch the flyby.
The Mine Detonator, Mine Position Data.
Wade
and swim to the left of the wooden bridge (NW) and go straight, do not enter
the opening on the right just yet. Find a pulley wheel on the last pillar (left)
and look up to see a wooden bridge go up.
Go to
the structure on the left (W) and head left along the shore, after the crate
jump via the rocks to the other side. Head straight (E) over the waterfall and
near the end at the tree you can go up to the right to the higher ledge.
Go up
the first steps leading to the entrance and go to the left (W) end, face S then
safety drop down one ledge, go to the S into an alcove in the rocks to find the
Mine Position Data Card at the
skeleton. Back out and to the front of the rocks, climb back up at the corner
and enter the Temple.
There
are two Stone Temple Warriors there and hidden between plants on top of a
wooden crate you find Revolver ammo.
Go back out and from the pool you can jump over floating islands to the bridge
NW. Go onto the balcony (there’s nothing in those
barrels) and around the corner into the first house. Shoot a crate in the
window and get the Mine Detonator Body.
Blow the Mine Field, the Quadbike.
Go
out, and from the bridge a drop down left into the pool below, wade back up the
N shore. Now go straight (N) and into that opening. Shoot the tiger, combine
the Mine Detonator Body with the Mine position Data to get the Mine Detonator and walk to the edge of
that wooden bridge and use it from the inventory. The minefield explodes so go
over the bridge now and grab the Medipack near the
tent.
Ride the Bike.
Get
on the Quad bike and drive out, sharp to the left and then a right at the wall
torch, stop before the wooden bridge and now line up for some jumping over
small islands and wooden crates to the right ending up on the W shore.
Then
go to the right (N) into the entrance to an elevator of sorts and enjoy the
ride up (you can see an entrance below the elevator). Leave the bike there and
climb up on a window opening S.
The Torch.
Now
we have to get down under the raised elevator. Run
jump W over the left corner of the fence, landing on a sloped surface, grab the
edge and safety drop down. Go back into the opening to the elevator. Get some Flares and shoot the snake. Climb up on
the right; pull the skeleton away for the Ancient
Key.
Then
go behind the jumping pad (face S) run onto the pad and hold only the forward
key pressed to end on top of the wooden boxes. Turn to the right, jump to the balcony and open the door with the Ancient Key, shoot a
crate and get 2x Uzi ammo, Medipack and a Torch
(you see also where to use it).
Up with the Torch.
Leave
this place and once out go to the left wade through the water and ignite the
Torch near the wooden bridge. Make your way with the Torch to the waterfall S
and jump up to the temple and use the floating islands to get to the wooden
house. Ignite the wall torch there and you can throw it down.
Enter
and go up the small slope, in the window is a crate, shoot it to get the Revolver. Shoot the nearby barrel and
face S, jump up and climb into the opening in the ceiling. Go to the right,
over a wooden bridge and shoot the crate for Revolver ammo and Laser Sight,
you’ll get a screen of something in the Temple.
Shoot the Gems.
Now
we have to go to the Temple again, you can use the
islands to jump back or jump in the water and climb the rocks again. Go in and
to the other side of the pool, look up N and shoot the two red gems from the
mouth of the gargoyles. Climb the block that appeared and get onto the floating
the island and jump over to the N.
The Gong Hammer.
Go to
the left corner (NW) and side flip onto the roof on the left and grab the edge.
Shimmy right around the corner, pull up and jump/roll and grab a floating
island. Push the statue once and you see some spikes popping up, meaning they
are de-activated. Now we have to get to the other side
of that roof, what you can do is stand on the ledge with the trees, about two
steps back and stand jump down to the floor below the roof (use Ctrl at the end
of the jump).
Make
your way back up the block/island and jump to the N again. This time go right
(NE) and side flip onto the roof, grab the edge and go left around to a
platform.
Jump
over the fence into the alcove where the spikes went down and use the chain to
raise a trapdoor. Walk out left and safety drop down; jump over to the trapdoor
and onwards to the balcony.
Jump
left onto the island and from there to a crooked ledge on the rock wall again.
Grab up to the wooden platform and turn around, do a curved run over the
platform to jump to the ledge against the rock wall (S). Jump up to the island
on the right and go up onto the block. Follow the route jumping the islands to
the SE corner, shoot a snake and jump to grab the roof of the Temple. Shimmy
right around corners till you are over the waterfalls below, from the middle of
that part a back flip roll and grab the block with the
Gong Hammer. You’ll
see some doors open up.
For a
Secret, jump back and grab the roof; shimmy all the way around right and pull
up to get Secret
#2, the Gaja-simha Key. Safety drop from this ledge to
the roof below, grab the edge of the roof. Shimmy left a bit and jump/roll to
the ledge with the statue again. Just run off the W end into the water and get
onto the W shore.
Sound the Gong.
Go
