LEVEL BY Rogério Silva (Voodoo Killer)

WALKTHROUGH BY Anya Marie McDonald

NOTE: I have not listed any of the secrets, nor have I listed any pickups except for those items needed to perform a task, such as keys and puzzle pieces.

After a flyby of a cavern, head to your left and down the steps. Turn left at the bottom of the steps and follow the passage deeper into the cavern system. You will come to a fire in a shallow pit with steam coming from the sides of the cavern; run/jump over the left side of the shallow pit to avoid the fire that pops up. Continue on down the passage and turn right into the next part of the cavern. Lara will look up and to the left as you enter this part; head there and follow this passage (avoid the spike pit), continue on down this passage past the opening on the left. When you get to an area where there is a bunch of pottery on the ground and a grate blocking the opening to your left, head to the area where the pottery is, then drop down the hole there.

Next, go through the crawlspace til you come to the next room. Next, hang/drop/grab the crevice below the opening you are at now and shimmy to the left til you can pull up. Press the button tile there, then drop down onto the ice-sheet and head to the other side of the room. Once there, climb the ladder to the top of the block. Turn around, then run/jump/grab/pullup onto the next block. Next, jump to the next block, then jump/grab the open doorway, pull up then go use the floor lever. Turn around, then run/jump over the block that has a fire on it to the block beyond it. Now run/jump/grab/pullup to the ledge and pull up through the open door. Follow the passage til you come to a ladder; climb the ladder past the steam vents to the top, then follow the passage to the next room. Notice the closed door to your right and a ramp to your left; head up the ramp and use the floor lever there and the door opens.

Next, head through the open door and follow the passage til you come to a grass covered opening with a sloping passage. Slide down the sloping passage and you will land on the other side of the grate that was blocking the opening in the area with the pottery on the ground. Now, head down the sloping passage to the next area. In this next area look for an opening in the cavern floor and drop down. Next, head down the steps to another grate blocking your path. There are two openings, one on the left and one on the right; head through the one on the left and move the column out of the way of the opening you need to go through. Then head back and go through the right opening and go through the opening you just opened up. In the next area there is a pool of water with two blocks with fires on them, a wooden gate to your right. When you get near the pool watch the flyby, then deal with the skeleton the rises up from the ground to attack.

Either avoid or deal with the skeleton, but no matter what you do, head to the ladder on the left and climb it to the next room. In this room go climb the next ladder, but before you pull up to the ledge shimmy to the right til you are in front of another ladder. Quickly pull up onto the ledge, then jump to the ladder and pull up into the opening there to avoid two more skeletons. Now follow this passage to the next room.

The room is dark and you notice that you are above another room with two pools; several skeletons attack as you go deeper into this room. So, either avoid or deal with them, then dive into the second pool. Now swim down into the hole in the bottom of the pool, til you can surface and exit the water. Follow the passage to a room with a floor lever; use the floor lever, then head back to the water.

When you get back to where you exited the water you find it is gone, so head down the passage to the empty pool. To the right is an opening that leads to the other pool, so head there and drop down the hole. Follow this passage to its end, then pull up onto the block and collect the golden gem. Now head back to the lever and reflood the pools, then swim back and exit the water; but be careful of the skeletons that are lying in wait for Lara. After dealing with the skeletons, head slightly northwest to the opening and into the next room.

In the next room jump into the pool, swim through the small opening til you can surface, exit the water, use the gold gem in the receptacle and watch a cut scene of a door opening.

Now head back to the room with the two pools, dealing with the skeleton you meet along the way, and make your way to the top level. Once there, head to the southwest corner and through the open door you saw in the cut scene. In the next room turn right and head to the other end of the room and through the opening there. In the next room there is a closed golden gate on your left; as you go further into the room watch the flyby, then deal with the two skeletons.

After they are gone, head toward the four water holes. Swim through the small tunnel in the west wall, surface, exit the water and climb the laddder to the next room. Once you are in the room above, turn around and use the floor lever to open the door. Now head through the door and you find you are on a catwalk in the room with the four waterholes. Head to your right to the next room, dealing with the skeleton coming to greet Lara. Once he is out of the way head into the room he came from.

In this room, drop down the hole in the floor, then head through the opening in the south wall and follow the passage to the next room. When you reach the next room, head to the golden fence and use the floor lever in the alcove. Now leave here and go back to the catwalk and head to the crawlspace in the wall across from the catwalk to get the lasersight and revolver. Exit here and drop down to the room with the four water holes. Head back around the corner to the left and through the open door on your left. Turn slightly right around the corner and slide down the pole. Once at the bottom go and use the floor lever at the end of the passage, then head back to the room with the four water holes. Now head back to the catwalk, turn left and go through the open door to the next room. As you enter the room, head through the grass covered opening and follow the passage to the next room.

Lara looks to her left as you enter the room, so head over there and past the first opening and head into the second opening, then drop into the waterhole. Swim down and through the underwater passage to the pool in the room you just entered. Now head through the underwater passage on the other side of the pool in the far right hand corner as you enter the pool. Swim til you can surface, exit the water and use the floor lever.

Next, head back to the water hole you dropped down into, then go through the opening you passed before. Follow this passage to a ladder, climb it, then head into the next room. You notice as you enter this room that you are above the pool room; now head over to the opening, go inside and get the golden gem. Now head back to the room with the four water holes. When you reach the room with the four water holes, head around the corner where the large vases are and use the gem to open the door.

Head through the door and down the passage til you come to the next room. In this room head to the pole in the back of the room and climb it to the next room. There is a small lake in this room and a ladder ahead of you. So, head to the ladder and climb it to the ledge above. Trun around face the sloping block then jump/grab/pullup/slide/jump/slide/jump/grab/pullup to the next ledge. Next run/jump/grab/pullup onto the next ledge, turn left, get up on the raised block and use the monkeyswing to reach the other side. Once there, head to your left, jump over the two holes in the floor and go around the corner to your left and use the floor lever in the alcove. Dive into the water and swim over to the other side of the lake where you can surface and exit the water.

Once you are on dry land, head to the opening above the ladder and go through it. Use the floor lever in this short passage, then head back to the monkeyswing. Once you are on the otherside of the monkeyswing turn right then run/jump/grab the crevious and shimmy all the way to the right. Next drop/grab/pullup to the ledge below. Now head to the right around the corner, turn around and jump/grab/pullup to the ledge above you.

Now head to the opening to your left and drop down the the passage below. Head down the passage to the right til you come to a hole in the floor, drop down through the hole to the water below surface and exit the water. Now follow this passage to the next room. Jump across the pool of water and head through the opening there to the left til you come to the next room. There is a raised block surrounded by a very shallow pool under a ladder in this room. Go climb the ladder to the passage above, now head toward the flames in the next room. Stop before you get to the flames and dive into the water below, look for an opening in the floor of the pool. Swim through the opening into the passage and follow the passage til you come to another golden gem. Grab the golden gem and return to the pool.

Surface and exit the water on the ledge with the ladder. Climb the ladder all the way to the top, then make your way to the opening in the east wall by jumping from block to block. When you reach the opening in the east wall, go and place the golden gem in the receptacle; next, dive into the water below, surface and exit the water onto the ledge with the floor lever. Use the lever and head back to the ladder and climb it back to the ledge above the ledge where you first entered this area.

Turn around and jump to the ledge below you on the north wall. Turn around and run/jump to the safe area on the ledge with the fires on it. Next drop/hang and shimmy to the left til you are past the flames, then pullup and go through the opening.

Head across the enclosed bridge to the next room and jump up on the small wire block. Turn around and jun/jump/grab/pullup to the next wire block, then run/jump to the next wire block. Go through the opening and use the floor lever, then head back to the small wire block. Pull up onto the ledge and head through the opening, follow the passage to its end then pull up into the next passage. Follow this passage to the next room, then head over to the opening in the south wall and drop down to the water below.

Swim through the underwater opening to the next room, notice the closed door to your left. Now swim to the right and through the small opening. Follow the underwater passage til you can surface, exit the water and use the floor lever. Now head back to where you saw the closed door and go through it til you can surface and exit the water in the next room. In this room, head around the fence and press the tile button to open the door to the passage. Go across another enclosed bridge and follow the passage to the next room.

This room is flooded about waist high, so drop into the water and head around the corner to the left. Follow the passage there til you can exit the water, use a floor lever and watch a cut scene. Now return to the main flooded room and swim down through the open grate in the floor. Head through the small opening til you can surface, exit the water and use another floor lever.

Now head back to the main flooded room again and exit the water across from where you entered the room. Next, head through the grass covered passage to your right to the next room. There is a big hole in the floor of this room. Turn around and head up the mound of grass behind you, use the floor lever at the top and watch a cut scene of a door opening somewhere.

Now jump into the water near the south wall and look for an underwater tunnel. Swim through the tunnel til you can surface and exit the water in the next room. Head up the ramp to the north around the corner to the left, deal with the skeleton and a couple of wraiths (note: sometimes the wraiths will attack one at a time or both at the same time). Now head through the door you saw in the last cut scene. Inside, use the floor lever, watch a cut scene of a door opening up somewhere. Head back to the area with the big hole in the floor you jumped into the water from. Then go back up the grassy mound where you used the floor lever and go through the open door. Follow the short passage to the next room and climb the ladder. Turn around, back up aginst the wall, then run/jump to the ledge, then run/jump to the next ledge, then run/jump to the opening.

Next, head around the corner to your right and follow the passage to the next room.

You are now on the ledge directly across from the grassy mound; use the floor lever and watch a cut scene of another door opening in the area where you dealt with the wraiths. Head back there, deal with another skeleton and wraith; then go through the open door, use the floor lever and watch a cut scene of a door opening. Now go back to the grassy mound and through the door again all the way to the second lever and go through the open door to the next room. In this room is a small pool of water, a pile of rocks lying in the far right corner of the room; use them to pull up to the ledge and avoid the skeleton hot on Lara's tail. There is a floor lever on the west ledge; go use it, then jump into the water below and swim through the underwater tunnel til you can surface and exit in the next room. You are now on another ledge overlooking the area with the grassy mound; use the floor lever and watch the cut scene of another door opening in the area where you dealt with the wraiths.

Head back to the wraith room and go through the open door you saw in the cut scene. As you enter the open door, quickly turn around and deal with the skeleton, then go use the floor lever and watch the cut scene of a door opening where you used the third floor lever across from the grassy mound. Now leave here quickly, because two more wraiths are after Lara; as you kneel down by the statue to get rid of the wraiths a skeleton shows up to take advantage of the situation, so deal with him quickly. Once the wraiths are gone, head back to the grassy mound and retrace your footsteps to the third floor lever, taking out a skeleton along the way. Now head through the open door, jump over the two spike pits, then pull up into a short passage to the next room. You are now on the third ledge across from the grassy mound, there are two floor levers here.

Use both floor levers and watch cut scenes of a door opening. Now head back to the last covered bridge you crossed and pull up through the opening. Jump or slide down to the room below, then head up the steps and you are in the area with the two open doors you saw in the cut scenes. Next, go through the door on the left and get the golden gem, then head over to the other open door and place the golden gem in the receptacle. Now exit this room, head to the right through the open door and drop down to the sloping passage to end the level.
