TRA2 – Demo

Levels by SrDanielPonces and Bojrkraider.

Walkthrough by G&D Productions.

Note: These levels have a new secret system, which is based on bonus secret items and they don't count as secrets, collecting them open access to different rewards, mostly postcards containing information about the area of the level and building process. In later levels the rewards will be props you can use. The 3 dragon secrets are still in the level and they count as secrets. In each level there are 3 of them - silver, golden, jade.

1: The Great Wall.
3 dragon secrets & 5 golden bricks.

XIAN.

When in game, type XMAS for a pleasant Christmas surprise (Lara will wear a nice Santa hat).

A Wooden Stick.

Go into the valley and see the chopper take off, go right to a small pool and dive in, swim into the right hand back corner, climb out and get onto the rock there. Follow the path and climb up E.

Secret: Turn right and hop back from the block grabbing the edge, go left around the corner, drop and grab to get into a crawlspace with Secret #1, a Silver Dragon. Get back, hang out and ledge jump up, shimmy right and pull up.

Turn right and jump back over to the other side (W), walk to the end and jump to the right onto the rock ledge, follow up and grab the monkey climb (A tiger showed up below, but he was too late, I was already out of reach). Climb over to the grassy ledge with the roots and grab the Wooden Stick. Get back and left over the ledge, hop to the ledge S and climb up straight to get to the entrance into the Wall. Shoot the spiders and in a window are Flares. Go right into the corner, face N and use the wooden stick to open that grate. Drop down, go up the steps in the left corner, jump over to a niche (N) with a lever opening the wooden door S. Get out to the wall and shoot the two ravens. Turn left and climb E over the wall near the Tower and get a Golden Brick (1/5).

The Muddy Key.

Well, you probably know; go down the land slide (W) down to the pool below, when you climb out left or right you can take on a raven and two tigers if you like. Back in the pool swim into the tunnel and around the corner is the Muddy Key, get back out.

The Stone Piece.

Climb out of the pool S and go SW, up right onto the hill and in the grass behind that bent over tree is Golden Brick (2/5), slide down go straight to the wall, get on the rock right of the plant on the wall, use the crack to get back onto the Wall. Shoot a raven and open the door S with the Muddy Key. Up the stairs left shooting spiders and go up the pole, upstairs move a block out of the corner and get the Stone Piece.

Back down the pole, up the steps and place the Stone Piece to open a door below. Down the stairs again and get out S, watch the flyby.

Left onto the ramparts, hang from the other side, drop to a crack and shimmy to the right all the way. Drop onto the rocks and go down into the valley for a Golden Brick (3/5). Climb back up in the NW corner, up to the crack, left and up to the wall.

The Rusty Key.

Go over to the other side, over the edge of the Wall and down to a small lake. Under the waterfall is an opening to a cave, two tigers are in there. Take a right and find a small medipack near a skeleton. In front of the other one sitting in the nearby corner is the Rusty Key. Go out of the cave, right through the lake and then left to the tree E where you can jump up the grassy hillside, next hop up you’ll find a Golden Brick (4/5), go down and return to the NE corner where you came into this area before and climb back up to the wall. Go up the steps, but it seems we cannot reach that keyhole.

Find another way in, another Stone Piece.

Go along the wall down the slope right and hang from the edge of the Wall. Shimmy right until you hang near that plant. Drop and grab the crack, shimmy to the right, drop again and grab and go all the way to the right to pull up on a ledge. Jump straight over to the other side, grab up to a crack, shimmy to the right around the corner and ledge jump up. Go up to the lock and open the door, inside are spiders, climb the ladder right and get the Stone Piece. Back down and you can open that other door  (N) with the lever, a kind of shortcut in case you need it. Go out of the room (W), go back down to where you climbed up and make your way down to the ledge at the tree, drop down there.

Down the broken stairs and into the structure W, climb the ladders to the top floor, pull/push that block out of the other corner so you can shove it down the hole in the floor. Get the block down to the ground floor and under the receptacle for the Stone Piece. The door behind you will open when you place it.

Traps!

Through the door, shoot the spiders and get Flares from the skeleton. Push the block aside to get into the passage and slide down. Jump and grab that horizontal pole, swing and jump to the next, just keep Alt, Ctrl and forward pressed to swing from pole to pole and land in the passage across the pool OR you can wade through the pool, trying to avoid the darts.

Run along the right hand wall through the Blade trap and keep running, as you will cross a breakable floor over a Spike pit.

Traps and Spike Walls.

Up left is a steep slope, to the right a cave, don’t stop when you run into the cave and into the passage, the Boulders slow down, but they still keep coming, so save and hop along the left side over the Spike trap, you’ll slide down into a passage with spike walls, turn a bit left without walking and hop into the opening, quickly take a step forward (savegame.0).

Run long the right hand side over the break tiles timing the Blade traps and you can stop on the safe ledges, run to the next safe ledge and spot another Spike wall right, left of it you can just make out the passage you have to get to, so run, turning a bit left and jump straight into that opening, keep running as more Spike walls activate and keep right through the last room to jump towards that slope in the far right hand corner. I landed on the edge of the slope and the wall stopped just in time so I could save there, otherwise save while sliding down (secret hunters, scroll down). Roll when you land and turning right run onto the break tile to drop down into a cave with two cutters before the wall hits you.

For the Secret: You can see the Dragon down there, to get it you have to move fast. Just slide down and run to Secret #2, the Jade Dragon and pick it up fast. Back flip with roll to the right onto the break tile before the wall hits you (savegame.1)

Pick up a small medipack in front of the skeleton. Now take some steps back and sprint through the cutters on the right moment (seemed easier than a run jump) and in the next area spiders attack. Find Flares next to the skeleton.

Detour for a Secret: Go to the corner left of the zip line (NW) and slide backwards down a slope, safety drop down and you’ll see a crack, that’s for getting back up. Hop back grabbing the edge and drop onto the grassy ledge. Turn around and hop over to the ledge N, hang from the side and drop grab the crack, safety drop and slide down. Go to the far end where you’ll find Secret #3, the Golden Dragon and as a Bonus; a small medipack, Grenades and a Grenade Gun, which you can use right away on the T-Rex you woke up. But you have to get close. He is easy to kill with pistols too if you want to save the Grenades.

Bonus: the Wudang Relic.

Go back towards the other side, and go up left to where you can see a large opening up on the hill. You can run jump up there from the ledge left of the opening. There is a vicious T-Rex around so be quick about it. Run to the far right hand corner of the lair and grab the Wudang Relic. Get back quick and run down through that big opening. Straight to a rock W and jump up to a crack, right around and back jump to grab the crack behind you. Right around and ledge jump up to the grassy ledges. Jump over (S) and up to the crack in the dark rock S and shimmy left around all the way to the end. Then jump up to the ledge at the zip line.

Use the zip line and drop onto the plateau, shoot two incoming Tigers and go through where they came from. Right around the corner, behind that camp fire is a Golden Brick (5), the postcard is yours (press F8 ingame to examine it)…. Approach that door and watch the cut scene…

Lara: "Pardon me, if that was just your way of trying the doors for me,"

Thug: "With the tommy gun on my key-ring,"

Lara: "Though not anymore, so, after you."

Thug: "Somehow you don't behave like you've got a monk's blood," the thug replies.

Lara: "I understand that somehow is in my favor, so indulge me about the dagger. I'd be indebted with your life."

Thug: "These doors are waiting for the right one, the right time to arrive, and then the dagger's blade will honor the hearts of those who believe." As he speaks, the thug withdraws a flask from an inner pocket and uncorks it. "So unless you pledge your loyalty as well. . . ."

Lara: "And which one is that?"

Thug: "To the sins and fortunes of Marco Bartoli!" he exclaims, drinking a toast. Apparently the liquid is poison, which causes him to choke and die.

Lara: "Perhaps not just yet, then,"

She then accesses the thug's laptop. "Aha! Gianni Bartoli. . . Via Caravelli, Venice."

Proceed along the docks and come to a bridge at a small park. Hop to the right from the bridge into the canal and swim straight into the narrow canal  (N), in the end, on the bottom is a Venetian Mask (1). Swim back towards the harbor and go right around the corner to climb out onto that small jetty. Go into the alley, loop left around the wall of the house and in the corner up left is a crack.

The Canal House Key.

Left in the side passage you find a door, a jump lever and a Xian Clan sign. Follow the street to St. Mark’s square (with the red tower) and take a right to that terrace with the tables, go to the bakery shop and the doors will open. In the back, to the right is a door, open it and follow the stairs down to a small storage, grab the Flares and use one to spot a block in the wall on the left, pull it out and go in to get the Canal House Key. Go back in the storage, look behind the crates in the SW corner, duck there and grab a Venetian Mask (5). Go back out, say bye to the shop keeper and out on the square go left, the first left is the street you came from, skip that one and take the next small alley left and at the corner look way up left, there are wooden doors.

There are also two horizontal bars, stand near the second bar and face that window up in the wall (W). Use the Shotgun (look up to aim) and shoot the window. Run jump and grab the bar, swing to the next bar, then into the opening. Follow through, shoot the window and jump to the lever opening the doors left. Follow through over a bridge and open the house with the Canal House Key, a Baddy comes out, shoot him and grab the Half of the Xian Clan Sign. Inside you can shoot all the windows, but the important thing is that switch left to open a gate left of the house; you can see it through the window left.

Go back to the SW corner and jump over the balustrade down to the balcony on the red tower to get a Second Bartholi’s Medallion. Go back to the awing and safety drop down (you are at the back of the tower).

Secret Detour: On the other (W) side of the Tower, close to those tables on the terrace is a hidden trapdoor in the pavement, it looks a bit darker and lighting a flare or using binoculars will help identify it. Face the Tower and open it up, get down and up the ladder into the Tower, under the stairs are Flares. Go up and use the poles and platforms to get to the upper floor, in the back is Secret #3, the Gold Dragon, as a bonus you’ll get 2 small and  1 Large Medipacks.
