Walkthrough by G&D Productions.
3 secrets, the
multiple tasks related to getting the secrets are in dark blue.
From the pool where you land, go
left a bit and close to those vases is a low block you can jump on. But
first enter an opening in the building W to shoot a crate and get some
Orange Juice (small medipack). Go back out; jump on that low block
to the right now (S) and from the block grab that pillar in the middle of
the cave. Run jump and grab that crack (N); go left and into the crawlspace,
follow around and climb out and make a ledge jump up to the floor above.
Follow through up a slope and come
to a large Temple complex.
The Temple, 2 Lyres.
Go right and then left around the
corner of the Temple to find Flares
between two columns. To the right (N) you can see statues in alcoves on
a red ledge. We need two Lyres there.
A Push Puzzle for a Torch.
Go back and left down those white
blocks (NE), a broken bridge. From the lower one NE you can jump into an
alcove left of the one with the broken column (NE), grab the crack and go
left around to jump up to the alcove above and get
Shotgun ammo. Go back down and to
the ground floor of the pit.
Go to the N wall and find a crack,
jump to grab it (around the right corner), back flip (down key) off onto the
dark wall and shimmy along the edge to the other end. Climb up into the
opening in the wall there, up left and crawl through to drop into a room
with some tables. In the two alcoves left and right are
Flares and
Orange Juice.
Pull that table SW out twice to the
N and once to the E so it sits between the two holes in the floor. Pull the
table NE out once, then to the left (W and around the hole in the floor) so
it ends up between the table you just moved and the pillar with the table in
it. Climb the tables and pull the one it the pillar out onto the table.
Climb the highest table, facing N back flip onto a wooden slope S and shoot
the bell up N, get into that gate and grab a
Torch. Turn around and throw it
through one of the gaps in the floor to the room below.
Just in case and maybe also saves you to backtrack
here, grab the other Torch and throw it down the gap too.
You only need one, but….
Ignite the Torch.
Go down one of the gaps to the lower
room. Pick up the Torches and throw them into one of the gaps in the wall,
either left or right, the Torches will end up in a lower room where we can
get it later.
Go down the steps S and right and
climb over that wall. You’ll find yourself back in the pit at the temple.
The pools in the pits look deadly, but they aren’t. So just drop down in the
first one you see and climb out N. Go around the corner and into a passage
to retrieve one of the Torches and go back to the pools.
A couple of tasks to perform with
the Torch here, so let’s start SE, drop the Torch near the entrance to that
catacomb, go in and in the back you’ll encounter a lion.
In the middle of that place is an
unlit wall torch, look behind the pillar right of it (W) for a jump lever,
use that to ignite that wall torch. Go get your Torch and ignite it. (In
the SE corner is a trapdoor)
Go out, and in the room with the
pools, ignite the two wall torches, one E and one W, a gate opens up (in the
room where we dropped the Torch down before).
Some other things first; an Old Sword.
Go to the W side pool, just run off
the floor into the pool and walk into the opening W. (Secret
hunters: Lara should take the Torch down there, in the back, on a ledge
right you can ignite a wall torch opening up a trapdoor, drop the Torch
there). Climb up to a room above (E), shoot some vases for an Old Sword (crowbar) and
Shotgun ammo under a crate. Get back down and while we’re down here,
wade into the opposite passage too, climb up into a similar room and get
Shotgun ammo and Ambrosia
(Medipack). Drop down and go back to climb out of the pool.
Go into the SE corner catacomb again
and to the back where you found a lion before. On one of the pillars is a
ladder up.
Secret
hunters: If you performed the previous task igniting the wall torch in the
water, go left to the trapdoor you opened and climb down. Get
Secret #1,
shoot the crates for Shotgun ammo and 2x Kaboom
Arrows and the flame on the pedestal will get an interval. Grab the
Ornate Bronze Key; hop back
immediately. Climb back up and go straight a bit to another ladder right.
Climb the ladder, a vase to the
right has Shotgun ammo and then
open the crowbar door to get a way up to the pit at the Temple.
A Minotaur Eye.
Remember the gate we opened by
igniting the two wall torches? Go into the opening NW, that’s where you came
from before after getting the Torch. Climb over the block and go left up the
steps to the gate you opened. Slide down into the large room, a lion will
appear and when you are shooting that, a Gladiator will show up too. Shoot
both and pick up the Minotaur Eye
dropped by the Gladiator. In a pit NE are
Flares, the other corner pit has
a crawlspace, get in there and follow to the Minotaur Head, put that Eye in
it and see a pillar go up in the room above.
Cliff hanger, Lower the Spikes.
So get back up there, up on the
pillar and jump to grab the crack in the big pillar, go right around a
corner, back flip onto a slope and jump with Ctrl to grab the higher crack.
Go right around two corners and back flip with a twist grabbing a
crawlspace. Follow through, roll through that blade trap (duck and sprint)
and in the back shoot a Gladiator. Shoot the wooden box to get the
Shotgun, then throw the lever to
retract spikes in the room with the pillar. Go out the other passage W, to
the blade trap.
Secret
hunters; turn around before going through the trap and look up to spot a
jump lever, it will open a trapdoor in the room with the pillar.
Roll through the blade and run jump
to grab the high crack in the pillar again, go right around one corner and
grab up to the top.
For the
Secret; drop down to the floor and climb down the open trapdoor for
Secret #2,
Shotgun ammo and Ambrosia.
Again a Key on a pedestal, grab it, it is the
Golden Key. Climb back up and make your way up to the top of the
pillar in the room.
The S side is the way out of this
room later, so go N for now. Jump over to the lowered spike ledge and get
into the room fast, a corkscrew will come down in front of the golden door
and we have to get in and out of that. Left and right of the entrance are
two jump levers you can open the door with. Get in and pick up the
First Lyre. Go out through the corkscrew quick.
Get out, jump straight to the pillar
and on the ledge right is Orange
Juice. Jump over into the opposite side spike passage, drop down in the
end, turn around and you’re back at the gate under the Torch room. Go down
the steps (S), right and to the pit at the Temple.
The Temple, Search for Lyre Two.
Go to the left, to that broken
bridge (SE) under the white terraces you came down from before and climb
back up to the Temple using the crack on the left pillar. Go straight to the
wall (S) and right into the alley left of the Temple. In the back you can
grab a crack in the wall of the Temple, go left and jump up to the crack
above, go right and climb through the hole in the wall. Go down the cracks
and when you approach the gate to the Temple yard, it will open up to exit
later. Near the crowbar door in the back are two Stone ornaments.
Open that crowbar door in the back
wall and move the brightly lit ornament (S one) into the room and only onto
the green tile. Go into the gate that opened and use the crowbar lever to
lower two pillars. Back in the room, take one of the passages (N/S) to the
dark room below.
Not much to do here other than just
open that trapdoor in the middle of the floor and climb down. Turn to the
left and go left into the corner (NW) to find a jump lever there, that lever
will lower a pillar in the room above. So climb back up and go straight to
where the pillar went down and shoot the two vases for the
Lyre and Kaboom arrows.
Use the Lyres.
Go into one of the passages NE or SE
and climb the blocks back up to the ground floor. Just run to the gate of
the Temple and it should open.
Outside go left to the pit and now
you have several options to get to that red ledge with the statues (N).
-Drop down the pit, climb the crack
in the N wall, this time go left around and back flip to a pillar, grab the
crack in the wall and shimmy left, ledge jump up to an alcove and jump to
grab the red ledge (easiest).
-Jump into the alcove W (with the
columns), a banana jump to the next and from there to the red ledge.
-From the low corner of the white
terraces (NE) where we went up to an alcove NE for Shotgun ammo before, jump
over to the red ledge.
Once on the red ledge place the two
Lyres in the statues in the alcoves, you see a ball dropping in a cave
entrance (behind Lara)
Down the Cave, Drop the Ball.
Just run off the W end of the ledge
and land on a pillar below, drop to the floor, there might be some lions
now. Go to the wall right of the crowbar door S and grab the crack on the
right, then jump up to the cave entrance. Jump to the slope in the back wall
and drop to the crack, go left and back jump (down arrow) onto a green
ledge, hop down onto the block left then down to the floor. Turn right and
find a button in a pit (W), another ball falls down in the cave where you
just came from. Find your way back up the ledges and cracks to the cave
entrance and get up the crack to the broken bridge SE.
The Lower Temple Area, a Battle.
Go back into the Temple, to the back
room and through one of the passages down to the dark room, down the open
trapdoor and to the cave where a hole in the floor opened up now. Safety
drop down, get Ambrosia from a
corner. Then use the jump lever on top of that hatch N, you’ll drop through.
But you’ll land safe into a pool. Climb out (notice
the trapdoor in the pool).
Use the crowbar lever on the stairs
S to bring some light in here and two skeletons appear, shoot those into the
pool. Follow the corridor S and push the doors on the left open.
Head up the stairs and save before
you enter the big hall, two skeletons and two Centaurs attack, I lured the
Centaurs back down the stairs one by one and shot them there. The skeletons
go down the pit in the big hall after some persuasion…Works best near a
corner. In a dark cave NW is some
Shotgun ammo if you need it.
In the N wall of the hall are
alcoves with tables of which only one can be used (left).
Pull the table out and push it once
to the right, climb up and grab the crack in the wall, jump up and get onto
the black ledge.
For the Secret
with the two keys: crawl inside the wall and stand up in the back, turn and
use the jump lever to lower two pillars at the pool so you can use the
“Secret” Keys there later. Get back out.
Follow the route over the black
ledges to the fireplace E, drop down one crack, shimmy to the other side and
jump back up, shimmy around the corner then back flip to the ledge and jump
over to the S. Pull the ring on that lion
head. Jump around the corner to the ledge with the
Ambrosia (W) and then left around
the corner to a ledge with another ring to pull, the door opens. Drop from
the ledge to the ground floor, two more skeletons showed up and I was all
out of ammo before I could shoot them down the pit. But luckily I had both
keys and went for the secret fast.
A “just in
time” detour for the Secret: Go out NE, to the room with the pool and use
the Keys on the locks next to the spike passage N, spikes de-activate. Go in
and use the lever to open that trapdoor in the pool, swim down there and get
Secret #3,
the Bow, 5x times Kaboom arrows,
Ambrosia. Swim back up, climb out
S and go back through the corridor to the large room with the deep pit, deal
with those skeletons.
Go in S, left or right of that door
that need a receptacle through the door you opened in the back.
Getting to the top of the Square.
Go down the pit in the back of the
next room, and just drop into the pool in the Square below. In the SW corner
is Shotgun ammo, swim back just
around the corner and get on the ledge (W side). Jump and grab the crack in
the green pillar next to the ledge and go around the outside corner to pull
up in a crawlspace, out the other end. Hop into the water there and use the
underwater lever, a gate opens and pillars lower so you can just swim out of
there. Climb out at the other side (E) and enter the gate, get through the
crawlspace and swim through to a large pool (screenshot of a gate under the
glass floor in the bottom of this pool).
A Clue.
Get some air and swim down into the
opening below the one you just came from swim down and through to that
underwater gate you just saw. You can open with Ctrl, go through to a room
with black and green ledges on the floor. Make a note of the position of the
colourful tile next to the green ones and swim back before your air runs
out.
Vase Push, flood the Square.
Climb out of the pool, take a right
to the S section of the room and get on the ledge on the left. Move the
table (left corner) to the S against the higher part of the ledge. Pull/push
the other table on top of the lower one and drop down. From the higher part
of the floor, grab up to the upper table and then ledge jump up to the green
ledge above (no need pushing the tables in the other side of the room, same
route but that side has no pick up).
Grab
Shotgun ammo and go left, jump
over to the ledge NE, shoot the skeleton down and pull the ring from the
lion head. Drop down and enter the gate left, pull out that vase and now
remember that colourful tile in that room below (Pull W 4 times then
pull/push it over to the S side and W 2 more times). Placing the vase in
that same position opens the second gate behind you. Get in there and use
the crowbar lever, the other large square floods. Swim back through that
upper tunnel W and in the flooded square you can now use an underwater
ceiling lever under the green plateau straight ahead (W) and a small pillar
goes up in the top of the plateau (right above your head).
The Pythagorean Puzzle Pieces.
Swim up, climb out and go up the
small pillar to climb to a monkey swing. Follow around the corner to a white
ledge and drop, climb the long ladder and back flip into a passage near the
top. On the ledge in the next room are two tombs, open them to get the
2 Pythagorean Puzzle Pieces. Combine them to get the
Pythagorean Puzzle. Go to the NE
corner and safety drop down, side flip to the slope and shimmy along the
edge over the pit. Go through N to that large room with the deep pit, shoot
the 2 Gladiators. Place the Pythagorean Puzzle in the receptacle S and see
blocks appear in the deep pit.
Behind you on the floor is a small
reward, Ambrosia. Go to the pit,
E side and down the deep end, drop to the first block where more
Ambrosia awaits, you’ll need it too. Drop to a block below and from
the jump onto one of the slopes, sliding into a sinister place. To the S is
Shotgun ammo, E through the
opening more Shotgun ammo and
Kaboom arrows. When you get back
into the large cave, two Centaurs attack.
The Serpent, Python’s All Seeing Eye.
Go through the opening N, through to
a large room with Lava below. Stand on the edge of the floor and look down
for a Golden Pool, do a run jump/swan dive to land in that pool, a run jump
won’t take you that far. Go get the
Ambrosia from the bottom (W) and go up S, you have to time the bolts the
serpent fires and move in between those as much as possible (If you move
fast, you are in there before she even opens fire). You have to jump over to
the S side floor, go left or right and follow through to a hall where Lara
look up to the stairs. Go up and grab
Python’s Allseeing Eye. A door opens. Make your way back, jump over to
the floor around the golden pool and jump to a pillar right or left of the
Serpent and then jump to the back of the room (N). There’s that door you
opened. Go to one of the sides and slide down, a skeleton wakes up, just
jump over to the dark central structure, roll and shoot when that thing is
in mid-air. Keep going in this direction (S), jump over again and two
skeletons are waiting for you. Avoid the traps and continue.
Making your Escape.
Get to the next room and use the
crowbar lever. A Green teleport wall appears in front, jump in and end up
back in the room with the columns where you opened the trapdoor before.
Leave SE or NE, and climb the blocks up to the Temple. Go straight (E) to
that gate that opened there, follow through to greener pastures…
