WALKTHROUGH by Lizard Queen

LEVEL 1 – Ruins of Norway

Encampment

The journey begins with a cutscene of an encampment in the Ruins of Norway. N.B. Switching on the personal light device (< FLARE KEY) helps with any darkness issue. Head west, take a standing jump onto the slope and a running jump south. Pickup the LARGE MEDIPACK and slide back down. Head north then take a standing jump west and pickup the UZI AMMO on the slope. Slide down and head east towards the QUAD BIKE.

Mini Quest for FOUR SECRETS (1 to 4): N.B. These secrets can be done anytime up until The Abyss - Level 5 which is a point of no return. From the encampment, mount the bike, head up the slope east, turn left (north) then right (east) and head east to the large bridge. Head up the slope under the bridge and reconnect with the beige path east. Head north on the path then west and follow the sandy beige path west under the small bridge. Dismount the bike at the end. Jump up and grab the ledge south and pull up for the 1^st secret. Pickup the STUFFED DOLL and two LARGE MEDIPACKS. Head south/west around the upper slope and take a standing jump up the slope. Head north/west up the slope and slide down north for the 2^nd secret. Pickup the STUFFED DOLL, GRENADE GUN AMMO and two DESERT EAGLE AMMO. Safety slide down the slope back to the bike. Head east following the right side of the sandy path back to the large bridge and head around the left side of the bridge then stop when Lara’s attention points to the cliff side. Dismount the bike, climb the cliff south and shimmy left. Pull up into the alcove then take a running jump east with a slight curve right over the slope to land in an alcove for the 3^rd secret. Pickup the STUFFED DOLL, SMALL MEDIPACK, two UZI AMMO, LARGE MEDIPACK and two SHOTGUN AMMO. Return to the edge, face east and take a running jump east with a slight curve right to grab the slope. Shimmy left as far as possible then pull up into the alcove for the 4^th secret. Take a standing jump south/west and pickup the STUFFED DOLL, LARGE MEDIPACK and two DESERT EAGLE AMMO. Safety drop down to ground level and return to the bike. Mount the bike, head west back to the encampment and dismount.

Mini Quest Quad Bike TIMED RUN for DESERT EAGLE+LASERSIGHT: N.B. This quest can be done anytime up until The Abyss - Level 5 which is a point of no return. This quest is NOT necessary to complete the game but necessary if you want to obtain the Uzis later on. From the encampment, mount the bike, head up the slope east, turn left (north) then right (east) and head east up the slope under the large bridge and reconnect with the beige path where it breaks into three forks. Take the right (south/east) fork then south/east along the path and down through a small tunnel. Follow the sandy beige path and hug the left side of the cliff then head left (east) into a grassy opening through a tunnel to a light and a block with a wall button. Dismount and push the wall button on the block on the right. Mount the bike, head up the slope and watch a cutscene of the bike run obstacle ahead. Without slowing down, hug the right side of the tunnel and fly over the 1^st gap then slower over the 2^nd gap with a sharp curve right to avoid falling over the cliff. If possible, stop the bike after the 2^nd gap, back up and line up to the 3^rd ramp and drive over the gap to land in front of a wall switch. TIMED RUN #1: Park the bike facing the path and in front of the platform and dismount. Pull the wall lever, backflip and quickly mount the bike. Head around the pathway with a curve right then over the gap and through the door before the timer ends. Carefully navigate the path and head through the door ahead which opens automatically. TIMED RUN #2: Park the bike facing the path and dismount. Pull the wall lever, quickly mount the bike, curve through the path and over the ramp across the gap and through the door before the timer runs out. TIMED RUN #3: Park the bike facing the path and in front of the platform and dismount. Pull the wall lever, backflip, mount the bike, head straight over the gap and straight forward through the door. Dismount and pickup the DESERT EAGLE and LASERSIGHT from the pedestal. Mount the bike, turn around and navigate the entire path back to the sandy path along the cliffside. The doors all stay open so the backtrack is much easier, however the last 3 gaps need to be done altogether with no stopping to keep the speed and momentum to get over the final gap. Follow the sandy beige path along the cliffside. Head north under the low bridge back onto the sandy beige path. Turn left, head west under the large bridge. Continue west under the large arch back down to the encampment and dismount.
